Denver’s Community and Planning Development (CPD) is working on potential updates to its zoning codes for landscaping in an effort to create opportunities to increase and promote a more climate-resilient city. Climate-resilient landscapes are designed to use less water, can survive during drought, help reduce heat in the city and support pollinators, among other benefits.

For the rest of the summer, CPD’s city planners and consultants will be talking to community members at pop-up events throughout the city. CPD members will discuss potential code updates to shape Denver’s landscapes, from turf and trees to process and development. It’s an opportunity to share your thoughts to help shape a cooler, more resilient Denver landscape.

For an overview of the project and to see a schedule of pop-up events, visit www.denvergov.org/landscape. An online survey also is available to give residents another way to share their voices. To sign up for email updates, submit this form. If you have questions or comments, submit this form.

Share this message with any other stakeholders and encourage them to sign up for the residential rental property informational bulletin to receive news and updates as they become available.
