Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

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

 

This proposed text amendment to the Denver Zoning Code would modify how Outdoor Gathering Areas (accessory patios) are regulated and permitted. Generally, the text amendment seeks to create patio opportunities for a wider range of business types, streamline the review process, introduce additional design flexibility, provide for administrative adjustments for applications that meet specified criteria and enable rules and regulations (design guidelines) for Outdoor Gathering Area applications that request certain types of regulatory relief.

 

A markup version of the proposed text amendment and a strategy report summarizing the proposed text amendment are available on the Outdoor Places project web page at <https://denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Community-Planning-and-Development/Denver-Zoning-Code/Text-Amendments/Outdoor-Places-Program/Help-Create-the-Outdoor-Places-Program>
