The rezoning was then forwarded to final hearing of city council by the Land Use Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Consent on March 29 is being heard today. To date, staff has not received written input from any Arnaud's that were sent notice and no public comment. As we know, the Denver zoning code has five review criteria. The first is consistency with adopted plan, starting with comprehensive plan 2040. Staff found the rezoning to be consistent with several strategies shown in Plan 2040. Equitable, affordable, inclusive goals strategy, increasing development of housing units close to transit and mixed use developments. Goal two Strategy Create a greater mix of housing options in every neighborhood for all individuals and families. Environment Environmental Resiliency Goal eight. Strategy eight. Promote infill development where infrastructure and services are already in place and goal eight. Strategy B Encourage mixed use communities where residents can live, work and play in their own neighborhoods. Regarding Blueprint Denver This area is mapped as urban edge context and residential low, which consists of predominantly single and two unit uses on smaller lots and allows for accessory dwelling units to be thoughtfully and appropriately integrated where compatible. Additionally, blueprint Denver Guidance provides support through policy for diversity, housing choice through the expansion of accessory dwelling units throughout all residential areas. Strategy A citywide approach to enable a to use this preferred until a holistic approach is in place individual rezonings to enable it to use in all residential areas, especially where proximate to transit are appropriate unless there's a neighborhood plan supporting it to use. Region rezoning should be small, an area in order to minimize impact to the surrounding residential areas. This area also includes the Park Hill Neighborhood Plan of 2000, which provides support through the land use and zoning goal of maintaining the existing integrity of the residential character of Park Hill. Ensure continued growth and development in Park Hill results in a balanced and compatible mix of housing types and densities that can be found on page 32 Land Use and Zoning Action. Recommendation three Create and maintain a mix of housing types and sizes that are attractive and affordable to a diversity of ages, incomes, household types, sizes, cultural and ethnic backgrounds that can be found on page 33. Regarding criteria two and three staff found the rezoning to be consistent with adopted plans. The proposed rezoning will result in uniform application of zoned district building form, use and design regulations, and it will further, further public health, safety and welfare through implementing adopted plans and facilitating increased housing density . Staff on the proposed criteria. Criteria. Sorry southbound that the proposed rezoning is justified through a city adopted plan B and finally the context zone, district purpose and intent of ESU D1 X are all appropriate for this particular location given the surrounding area, the adopted plan guidance and the location of the site.
