Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

At the request of City Council, Landmark Preservation staff has been working over the past 19 months to make changes to Chapter 30 of the DRMC.  In early 2018, Landmark convened a task force to examine areas to reduce conflict and simplify some of the complexities of the ordinance. The task force met 11 times between March 2018 and March 2019 and explored how to improve Landmark processes while balancing property rights with city and community goals to preserve Denver’s history, architecture, culture, and neighborhood character. The task force reached consensus and the recommendations were unanimous.  The redline of Chapter 30 will be forwarded on Tuesday, September 3rd.
