The Denver City Council approved an amendment to Chapter 59 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code, permitting Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as an accessory use to single-unit primary uses in all Former Chapter 59 Bridge (FC59) zone districts citywide. This ordinance aligns with the citywide goal to increase housing diversity and affordability while simplifying regulations for residential neighborhoods.
This amendment supports Denver’s efforts to address housing affordability and flexibility by enabling ADUs citywide, providing more options for residents while maintaining the character of neighborhoods.
