The Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure Committee recommended approval of a map amendment to rezone the 12-acre property at 4507 Rifle Way from PUD 319 to S-MX-5. The staff report determined the change aligns with Denver’s Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver, and the Far Northeast Area Plan and would replace the former Chapter 59 PUD standards with unified mixed-use design regulations. S-MX-5 allows up to five stories and a mix of residential, commercial, and civic uses, enabling a pedestrian-oriented community center. The rezoning maintains existing right-of-way connections, includes open space obligations under an Open Space Agreement, and triggers affordable housing commitments through a High Impact Development Compliance Plan. The committee forwarded the recommendation to City Council with no objections.
