Committees

Zoning/Development Committee

The Development/Zoning Committee is focused on new developments and zoning proposals within the neighborhood as well as City proposed changes to the zoning code that may impact Cherry Creek North. The committee meets with the City staff and developers and other members of the community to discuss proposals for new developments and rezoning applications. The committee also reviews liquor license applications, Board of Adjustment appeals, variance requests and similar applications and seeks to represent the interest of immediate neighbors and the neighborhood in having a voice. The committee often negotiates good neighbor agreements to address concerns as the applications are processed and issues approval notices or, in some cases, leverages neighborhood voices in opposition of proposals that are regarded by the majority of neighbors to have the potential of negatively impacting the neighborhood.
