The City’s Planning Board forwarded without recommendation the rezoning of 3115 West 8th Avenue from E-SU-D to E-RX-3. The 6,250 SF vacant corner lot in Villa Park would shift from a single-unit district to a mixed-use residential zone allowing townhouse and shopfront forms up to 3 stories. A concurrent Affordable Housing Plan commits one of the five for-sale units (20%) to 110% AMI. Planning staff approved the rezoning as meeting Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver and the West Area Plan objectives when paired with on-site affordability.
