Zoning Fact Sheet Summary
Below is a one-page summary of zoning code changes and concerns from Lakewood residents. Lakewood Informer authors have posted multiple pages of content and more will be coming but this is a starting point to communicate with neighbors. Feel free to share and help people understand the issues.
The fact that there is more to say than can fit on one page is a great indication that the changes are overly complex for a single vote by City Council. It’s very hard for residents to understand all the ways this will affect our neighborhoods, especially with no trials and everything changing at once. Much like the last zoning change which the city promised would solve problems and make things wonderful. In real life, the changes sparked backlash that last to this day. To this day, the city is not correcting those problems, just moving forward with bigger, denser growth.

I am against changing single family neighborhood to allow multi family units to be built. This changes our quality of life. We moved here because it was zoned agriculture. We are not New York or California. Leave our greenspaces alone, and don’t ruin our neighborhood hoods with high rise apartment buildings that also make our traffic worse and crime. If this passes so many people will move out of Denver. It is sad our government isn’t thinking about people only money!
