Number one, consistency with adopted plan series. We have that plan 2040 Blueprint Denver as well as housing and inclusive Denver. The application is consistent with several strategies in the Comprehensive Plan 2014, including some strong and authentic neighborhood goals and climate goals. Moving on to Blueprint Denver. This application is located in the Urban Edge Zone District, which is a nursery context, which is predominantly residential homes, are typically low scale and single and two unit with some small scale multi-unit residential embedded. They offer good walkability with short and predictable blocks. Future place type is low residential and predominately single in two unit uses and accessory dwelling units are appropriate in a residential future place type. Clarkston Street is a local street. Growth area strategy because all other areas of the city which you anticipate seeing 10% job growth in 20% housing growth by 2040. Some additional policies that the application is consistent with include. Housing policy number four, diversity of housing choice through the expansion of accessory dwelling units throughout all residential areas as well as housing policy. Five Remove barriers to constructing accessory dwelling units. The application is also consistent with several provisions of housing in inclusive Denver, including legislative and regulatory priorities. Two Recommendation to expanding the development of accessory dwelling staff finds that the application is also consistent with the next two criteria uniformity of district regulations. There is no. No variation to the districts being requested, as well as furthering public health, safety and welfare predominantly by implementing adaptive plans and providing an additional housing unit that is comparatively integrated into the surrounding neighborhood. Justifying circumstances. City Adopted Plans Plan 2040 and Blueprint Denver have been adopted since the base zoning was implemented. Steph also finds the application to be consistent with the neighborhood context zone, district purposes and intent to. But should say council pass. CPD recommends council approve the application. Apologies for not updating that site, finding it consistent with all five of the criteria. That's it for me. All right. Thank you, James.

We're going to go ahead and ask if you would stop your screen sharing for us. Thank you so much. All right. We'll go ahead and have Jesse. All right. Go ahead, Jesse, please. A member of the council.

I would love to see them all over the city along with two whole villages and safe outdoor camps. So cashing in once again, it's a slam dunk for you. You should get this approved with no problems. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. That concludes our speakers questions from members of Council on Bill 1162. CNN. The public hearing for council bill 20 dash 1162 is closed. Councilman Cashman. Thank you, Madam President. Once again, I think this clearly meets the five criteria. My memory is from an early discussion with the property owner that the plans were to use the ADU for a relative. But this property also is directly across the street from the Porter Hospital campus, so it would be a great location for a health care worker. Anybody wanting a spot in a wonderful neighborhood should less, I believe, less than a block from Harvard Gulch, parked about three blocks from a great growing little retail strip along Downing. So somebody is going to get lucky with a nice, nice place to live. And I obviously plan on supporting this and ask my colleagues to join me. Thanks, Madam President. Thank you, Councilman Cashman. And seeing that it does meet all of the criteria, I will be supporting it as well. Madam Secretary, roll call, please. Cashman. I can reach. That was in. I sorry, Ron, but Ortega, I. Sandoval, I.
