Denver Mayor has approved the development plan (GDP) for the old St. Anthony’s site at Sloan’s Lake
via FB
Dear neighborhood supporter, Thank you so much for your support for the petition (comment below for link) and thanks for striving for good development in Northwest Denver. We are sorry to report that the Mayor last night announced that his managers have approved the development plan (GDP) for the old St. Anthony’s site at Sloan’s Lake.
Councilwoman Susan Shepherd, at the same neighborhood meeting, thanked those neighbors for supporting the GDP and for supporting the developer, EFG. While we are disappointed that elected officials don’t primarily care about voters’ views, and about following democratically adopted plans and zoning, our work to effect a positive outcome for this development continues.
As a next step, let’s get involved with the individual developers who will buy portions of this land. Some of them are presenting their concepts next Wednesday, January 22. This is a great opportunity to share concerns that are meaningful to them and will help make this a better development for everyone.
The open house is at: Confluence Ministries, 1400 Quitman, Wednesday, January 22, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Our petition to lower heights to a maximum of 8 stories and to increase open space gathered 690 signatures in under a week. That’s almost six times the number of people who wrote in to comment on the GDP, before the hearing in December. And out of those, the vast majority expressed concern about the excessive scale and lack of open space in the plan.
Please be assured that the Mayor and Councilwoman Shepherd are aware of this petition. They are.
It is a shame that we, collectively, have elected City officials who don’t care about voters’ views. Also, by not making a decision on zoning that fits the intended development of this property now, our politicians kick the can of zoning fights down the road, leaving both developers and residents in uncertainty.
Either way, the good fight for a good outcome on this site continues. Thank you so much for your passion and for your polite and appropriate advocacy to date. Please stay engaged with this process and let’s work together for as good of a result as possible.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that we, collectively, see our elected city officials as those who should always, without question, bend to our ever changing will.
