The property at 2501 South High Street is proposed for rezoning from E-SU-Dx (Single-Unit Suburban) to E-TU-C (Urban Edge-Two Unit-C). The site consists of two parcels, one with a single-unit house and another vacant parcel. The E-TU-C zone allows up to two units on a minimum lot area of 5,500 square feet, accommodating urban houses, detached accessory dwelling units, duplexes, and tandem houses. This rezoning is intended to align with the Urban Edge Neighborhood Context, which includes single-unit and two-unit residential areas. The staff report recommends approval to the Community Planning & Housing Committee, noting consistency with Denver's Comprehensive Plan 2040 and Blueprint Denver strategies, which aim to increase housing options and promote infill development. Public outreach indicated support from nearby neighbors. The decision promotes density in an area with existing infrastructure and access to transit.
