Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
Request is made in the context of Denver’s continuing recovery from the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability to approve and extend previously approved temporary uses under Ordinance 2020-0961 enables local businesses and homeless housing/shelter providers to continue with programs stood up during the pandemic, including the temporary outdoor patio expansions for restaurants and bars and the temporary allowance for managed campsites (SOS sites) across the entire city (including the 20% of lands zoned under FC59). Without this extension, the city council sponsor and city partners believe efforts to support a robust economic recovery and continue helping residents experiencing increased housing instability due to COVID will be substantially hindered.
