  2. Denveright Comprises Five Plans • Comprehensive Plan 2040 – Vision Plan • Game Plan – Parks and Recreation • Denver Moves: Pedestrians and Trails • Denver Moves: Transit • Blueprint Denver Update – Integrated Land Use and Transportation This presentation focuses on the Blueprint Denver update

  3. WWPNA Composition • Speer Statistical • North of Alameda and South of Speer • From and including Downing (west side) through Lincoln • West Washington Park • South of Alameda to I-25 • From and including Downing (west side) through Lincoln

  4. WWP’s Historical Zoning From 1959 up to the adoption of Blueprint Denver, WWP was zoned: • From Alameda to Mississippi, “R-2” (Single Family and Duplexes) • From Mississippi to I-25 and from Emerson through Downing, “R-1” (Single Family) • Pockets of “B-1” and “B-2” businesses (e.g., Wash Perk); some “B-4” on S. Broadway

  5. Speer Statistical’s Historical Zoning • From 1959 up to the adoption of Blueprint Denver, Speer Statistical was zoned: • “R-3” (multi-family, duplex, single family) • Higher density designations along Speer • Pockets of “B-1” and “B-2” neighborhood-serving businesses; some “B-4” along S. Broadway

  6. WWP’s “Right”-Zoning • Working collaboratively with WWP residents, District 7’s councilman, and Community Planning: • The former “R-2” area of WWP (south of Alameda to Mississippi and from Downing through Lincoln) was rezoned to “R-1” • This corrected the mismatch between zoning and the existing land-use pattern of WWP • Now substantially all of WWP and part of Speer is zoned Single Family

  7. Blueprint Denver: Background • Guided Growth by identifying: • Areas of Change • The area west of Broadway was an Area of Change: • Designated for significant growth • Broadway Station • Alameda Station • Areas of Stability • WWP was an Area of Stability • Much of Speer Statistical was an Area of Stability • “Committed” Areas – E.g., limited pockets for reinvestment

  8. Other Plans for Guidance • West Washington Park Neighborhood Plan • Broadway Transit Station Area Plan • Alameda Transit Station Area Plan • Louisiana-Pearl Kiss-and-Ride Area Plan

  9. Fast Forward:Blueprint Denver Update • The Blueprint Denver Update Plan comprises several chapters: • Chapter 1: Introduction; general information • Chapter 2: Vision; growth strategy • Chapter 3: Recommendations; implementation • Chapter 4: Equitable planning • Chapter 5: “Complete” neighborhoods • Chapter 6: Neighborhood Contexts • Chapter 7: Glossary; Appendix

  10. Growth Strategy • 80% of growth to be directed to: • Regional Centers • Community Centers and Corridors • High and Medium-High Intensity Residential Areas in Downtown Denver and Urban Center • Greenfield Residential Areas • Certain Districts Only 20% of Household growth directed other places

  11. Growth Strategy Maps

  12. Implementation; Recommendations • Through small area plans, master plans, plan amendments • Through policies and strategies organized by three elements of “Complete” neighborhoods: • Land Use and Built Form • Mobility • Quality of Life Intrastructure

  13. “Complete” NeighborhoodsThree Elements • Land Use and Built Form • Block Pattern • Building Scale • Parking • Quality of Life Intrastructure • Parks • Greenspace • Mobility • Pedestrian • Bicycle • Transit • Multi-modal • Autos and goods

  14. Future Places • Centers (mixed-use, centered around shared space) • Local • Community • Regional • Corridors (mixed-use, along streets) • Local • Community • Transitions between corridors and lower-scale residential areas are important; attention should be paid to lot coverage, bulk, scale, open space, parking; pedestrian amenities • Districts (e.g., hospitals, school campuses) • Residential

  15. WWPNA Centers and Corridors • Local Centers and Corridors • Primarily serving neighborhood and nearby neighborhood residents • Primarily dining, entertainment, shopping • E.g., Pub on Pearl, Carmines on Penn • Accessible by walking, bicycling, some local transit • Compatible and consistent with the character of surrounding area in terms of scale and design

  16. WWPNA Centers and Corridors (Cont) • Community Centers and Corridors • Primarily serve neighborhood and surrounding communities • Dining, entertainment, shopping, employment; some residential • Mid scale buildings, compatible with surrounding area • Accessible by variety of transportation (e.g., pedestrian, bicycle, medium transit) • E.g., Broadway, between 1st and 6th Avenues; some places along Speer

  17. WWPNA Centers and Corridors (Cont) • Regional: • Combination of residential, dining, shopping, entertainment, employment • Larger scale mixed use buildings • Accessible by high-capacity transit; pedestrian and bicycles within area • E.g., Broadway and Alameda Station Areas, west of Broadway

  18. Complete “Networks” • Deals with modes of transportation; multiple modes of transportation are most desired for “complete” neighborhoods • Pedestrian • Bicycle • Transit • Autos and goods • Multi-modal • Some segments of streets may be partly one type of transportation, then changing to another type

  19. Neighborhood “Contexts” • WWP • Urban Neighborhood Context (Chapter 6.2) • Development to be consistent with existing neighborhood character • High degree of walkability, bicycles, transit • Alleys; parking behind buildings and on street • Low residential

  20. Urban Places Map

  21. Urban Context: Residential Areas “Low” residential; currently defined as: • Predominantly single family and two-unit on smaller lots • Vacant institutional uses on corners or “select” sites may be appropriate for additional residential density • ADUs and duplexes “thoughtfully” integrated NOTE: Per Plan, proposed rezonings to two-units depends on existing character of neighborhood, neighborhood plan, other plan guidance and neighborhood input. Applicant-driven rezonings generally only appropriate if there is an established pattern of the proposed use in surrounding blocks

  22. General Urban Places Map

  23. General Urban Context: Residential Areas • Residential varies from mixed-use, multi-unit buildings to compact single family homes; multi-unit most common form • Development should be sensitive to neighborhood context • Residential zones range from “low-medium” to “medium-high”, to “high” • ADUs already permitted

  24. General Urban Context: Residential Areas (Cont) • “Low-Medium” means: • Single family and two-unit homes, interspersed with lower-scale multi-unit buildings • Neighborhood serving commercial on some corners • Three stories are common • High lot coverage, with shallow setbacks • “High-Medium” means: • Mix of low to medium scale multi-unit residential • Up to 8 stories • Mixed-use mixed in

  25. CONCLUSION • WWPNA is already a “Complete” Neighborhood • Between Speer and WWP, it comprises a mix of Urban and General Urban Contexts • WWPNA is multi-modal, with two major transit stations on its western border; bus service along Alameda; bike lanes on Washington and Emerson; sidewalk improvements underway throughout neighborhoods • Over 4,000 new units have been built or planned within or on WWPNA’s borders. WWPNA has and is sharing in the burden of growth already.
