CCNNA has standing and need-specific committees to serve the organization. Both Board members and residents not on the Board can serve on committees. These committees are the backbone of the organization and help carry on the business of the association. The following are the current 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.
