Denver rezoning request for 3201 N. Speer remains pending as Aug. 11 action item is scheduled
The agenda schedules committee consideration of the proposed map amendment but does not establish that the measure was approved or advanced.
Denver’s Aug. 11 Mayor-Council agenda lists a proposed rezoning of 3201 N. Speer Boulevard as Bill 26-1111, a committee action item. The agenda schedules consideration of the measure but does not report a vote, recommendation or advancement. Final rezoning approval has not occurred.
The request, case 2026-REZONE-0000025, would change the property from Urban Single Unit A (U-SU-A) to Urban Mixed Use 2 Stories X (U-MX-2X). The mixed-use zoning could allow retail, office, personal or business services, and eating and drinking uses while retaining residential capacity. Denver’s zoning code use tables do not establish that a particular business is planned for the site.
The applicant told the committee that the existing two-story building, constructed in the 1950s, would remain and be used more fully for commercial purposes. The record does not describe demolition, an expansion, a named tenant or a detailed redevelopment proposal. Denver’s official case page and city agendas identify the address as 3201 N. Speer Boulevard, despite an earlier committee reference to 3021 N. Speer Boulevard.
Planning staff said the request met applicable review criteria and was consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Plan 2040 and Blueprint Denver. The Denver Planning Board agenda shows the board unanimously supported the rezoning before the request went to the council process.
Staff reported two written comments in moderate opposition, citing concerns about potential future development. Staff also reported support from the registered neighborhood organization and one verbal supporter at the Planning Board hearing, who cited potential business opportunities. The reviewed record does not identify the commenters or the neighborhood organization by name.
The Aug. 11 agenda describes the proposed measure as a map amendment from U-SU-A to U-MX-2X at 3201 N. Speer Boulevard in Council District 1. It does not add development-program details or new public comments or neighborhood opposition.
At the Aug. 4 committee proceeding, a presenter initially said “November 5th” before correcting the date to Sept. 14 as a tentative target for a full-Council public hearing. The official committee agenda lists the rezoning as matter 26-1111 but does not provide a full-Council hearing date or time. As of Aug. 5, the Legistar calendar did not show a published Sept. 14 City Council agenda for the case. Full-Council consideration and a public hearing remain subject to scheduling.
