Staff and the Planning Board recommended rezoning 959 and 971 South Wolff Street from E-SU-G to E-TU-C. The 0.86-acre site includes a circa 1939 single-unit house and a vacant lot following a 2022 fire. The E-TU-C district permits up to two units on a minimum 5,500 SF lot, with Urban House, Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit, Duplex, and Tandem House forms. Located in Westwood, the site is less than a block from Morrison Road and West Tennessee Avenue and near transit routes and parks. City agencies approved the rezoning with no objections. The Planning Board voted to recommend approval on a consent agenda on July 3, 2024. The amendment aligns with Denver Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver, and the Westwood Neighborhood Plan.
