I. Madam Secretary, closed the voting and announced the results. To advise 12 Eyes Council Bill 20 2-469 has passed. Thank you for the staff report. Councilmember Black, will you please put Council Bill 22, dash 470 on the floor for final passage? I move that council bill 20 2-0470 would be placed upon final consideration and do pass. Thank you. It has been moved and seconded the required public hearing on Council Bill 22, Dash 470 is open. May we please have the staff report. The afternoon again? Members of City Council. My name is jump in your fill with CPD and no. I am going to present an overview of the MAP Amendment four 1450 North Olive Street. The subject property is located in Council District five in the Montclair neighborhood. The request is to rezone from ESU d x to ESU d1s, which would allow for an 80 you in the rear of the property. Well, all other forms and you standards would remain the same. Spuriously mentioned the property is currently in the urban edge single unit Dixon District, which in this location would only allow for the suburban house and the Urban House building for a minimum standard size of 6000 square feet. And as you can see on this map, while the property is completely surrounded by SUV X, we can see that this Colfax corridor is predominantly zoned ESU three and EMS three and EMS five to the east. The current land use of the site is single unit residential and it is mostly surrounded by other single unit uses and some two unit uses to the east. We can also see a mix of uses along East Colfax that range from commercial retail, mixed use and industrial uses. This slide shows us that the subject property is located in a residential area but only have to sell through MySQL, a predominantly commercial corridor. Throughout the rezoning process, application modifications have been provided according to code requirements. Planning Board recommended approval anonymously April 20th on consent agenda. And to date, staff has not received any letters of support or letters of opposition from the public or from any ordinance. Denver's zoning code has five review criteria, which I will go over. The first criterion is consistency with adopted plans. There are three plans of legal rezoning. We have a comprehensive plan 2040 loop in Denver and the East Area plan. The rezoning is consistent with several of the strategies and comprehensive plan 2040, but I'll go over a couple of them. The MAP Amendment will promote equity by creating a greater mix of housing options in every neighborhood, and it will lead to an environmentally resilient Denver by promoting infill development where infrastructure and services are already in place. Now looking at Brooke in Denver, the subject property is mapped as part of the urban edge neighborhood context. The future places map designates the subject property as low residential place types. Displaced types have predominantly single and two unit uses, and accessory dwelling units are appropriate. All live street is designated as a local or undesignated street. The growth area in Denver is all of areas of the city. These areas are anticipated to see 10% employment growth and 20% housing growth by 2040. Lupine also includes specific policy recommendations. We have housing policy number four that focuses on diversifying housing choice through the expansion of accessory dwelling units throughout all residential areas. The Interior plan was adopted in 2020 and it updates the guidance in Comprehensive Plan 2040 and Blueprint Denver within the East Area Plan. The subject property is within the urban and neighborhood context and designates the subject property as low residential single unit future plans. The plan recommends this subcategory in areas with single unit homes, with accessory dwelling units are appropriate also land use and build foreign policy number six states that the east area neighborhoods should be inclusive places that integrate missing middle housing and accessory dwelling units. The ESU D1 Zone District allows for a single unit residential use with an additional dwelling unit accessory to a primary single unit use. Therefore, the proposed ESU D1 next on district is consistent with the East Area Plan guidance. Therefore, staff finds that the request is consistent with the applicable adopted plans. Stuff also finds that the requested rezoning meets the next two criteria. The rezoning will result in uniformity of the regulations, and it will further the public health, safety and welfare, primarily through its implementation of adopted plans. It justifies circumstance where this reasoning is clear that the plan sees the approval of the existing East Zone district. The city has adopted comprehensive plan 2040 in Denver and the East Area Plan A stated throughout this presentation, the proposed rezoning to East one x meets the intent of this plan's. Lastly, the proposed zoning is consistent with the urban edge neighborhood context residential district and the ESU. D1 s on district staff does recommend approval based on finding or review criteria has been met. All right. Thank you very much for the staff report, Fran. We have one individual signed up to speak on this tonight. Jesse Perez. Good evening. Members of council, those watching at home. When I was just a person, I represented Black Star Action for Self Defense, Positive Action for Social Change, as well as the Unity Party of Colorado, the East Denver Residents Council, front line Black News. And I'll be the next mayor of timber in 2023. And I resigned in disgrace in Christopher Herndon's district. I'm in favor of this rezoning tonight. As I've stated previously, I have supported every use since 2019 when I ran for city councilor at large and almost 15,000 people with no money. No or media recognition or exposure. And I continue to support them in 2022. So full support of this rezoning tonight, it meets all five of the criteria. Consistency with adopted plans, uniformity with district regulations. Part of this public health. Safety. Wellness. Means justified circumstances and consistency with neighborhood context zone district in that sense. So saying that it meets all five of the criteria for support of this rezoning. Thank you. That concludes our speakers questions from members of Council on Council Bill 22, Dash 470.
