Denver ADU Builders Ready For Citywide ADU Project

Denver ADU Builders Ready For Citywide ADU Project

Nearly a year later, Denver’s City Council has made forward progress on making it easier for property owners to build an ADU. June 5th, 2023, the Council passed an ordinance that amends the Denver Zoning Code and the Former Chapter 59 code that gives more leniency to building an ADU. While this was just beginning, Denver kept up with the overall interest residents had in building an ADU and created an ADU Advisory Committee that same year. The goal of this committee was to investigate the red tape, barriers, and common roadblocks associated with building an ADU so that a solution to the process could be found. Now, Denver’s ADU research has come to the conclusion of amending and modifying current zoning codes for all neighborhoods. This has launched the Citywide Accessory Dwelling Project or Citywide ADU Project, as part of the city’s ongoing effort to expand housing availability and choice.

Is building an ADU worth it?

Is building an ADU worth it?

The growing interest in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Denver can be attributed to several factors. Housing market conditions are inspiring homeowners to different solutions, while the City Council’s rezoning of entire neighborhoods has opened up new possibilities. Families are also exploring the option of building ADUs to bring relatives closer or to invest in small rental properties. Despite the attention they’re receiving, the prevalence of ADUs in Denver remains limited, and this could be attributed to various reasons.
