Rezoning application #2024I-00053 proposed to change the zoning on the 0.28-acre property at 3300 North Irving Street from PUD 577 to U-MS-2x. The property, currently occupied by a one-story dental office housed in a former church, is located in Denver’s West Highland neighborhood and has been under PUD 577 since 2005. The U-MS-2x, Urban Main Street 2x zone district allows Town House and Shopfront building forms up to two stories or 30 feet high, with primary build-to requirements of 75% and 0–15 foot setbacks depending on form. This change would broaden the permitted uses to include a pedestrian-scaled mix of residential, commercial, and civic uses aligned with Comprehensive Plan 2040 and Blueprint Denver’s Urban context guidance. City staff and external agencies reviewed the application and found no outstanding environmental or infrastructure concerns. After notification and referral to relevant city departments and registered neighborhood organizations, the Denver Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval with no public opposition on July 17, 2024. The rezoning is justified by the property’s retention of Former Chapter 59 zoning after the adoption of the Denver Zoning Code and is consistent with city-wide land use policies.
