C-MX-8 permits mixed-use development up to 8 stories and is used for areas primarily served by arterial streets.

Approves a map amendment to rezone the property located at 4050 North Colorado Boulevard and associated properties from B-3 with waivers and conditions to C-MX-5 and C-MX-8. This rezoning will allow for higher-density mixed-use development and is intended to facilitate transit-oriented development near the 40th and Colorado Station. The proposal includes changes to the existing Planned Building Group (PBG) and additional considerations for parking and traffic studies. The rezoning will impact existing infrastructure and agreements related to property owners within the PBG.

Why it Matters

This rezoning is significant because it addresses the growing need for affordable housing and mixed-use development in the Northeast Park Hill neighborhood. It will enable the construction of residential units and support community development while ensuring the proper use of existing infrastructure.
