City of Denver –Large Development Review Process

Large Development Review (LDR) Overview

• To implement City Council adopted plans, and resulting public infrastructure, open space, and public parks, on sites that are large or otherwise require a more coordinated inter-agency development review process.

• To provide an early opportunity to identify issues and the development's relationship with significant public infrastructure improvements, facilities, and publicly accessible parks and open spaces.

• To create a process framework for coordinating development, infrastructure improvements, and regulatory decisions before site-specific development proceeds within the subject area.

Equity ConceptsEquity is when everyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from, has the opportunity to thrive. Where there is equity, a person’s identity does not determine their outcome. Equitable, inclusive communities are places of value that provide access to resources and opportunities for all people to improve the quality of their life. As a city, we advance equity by serving individuals, families and communities in a manner that reduces or eliminates persistent institutional biases and barriers based on race, ability, gender identity and sexual orientation, age and other factors.

Equality

Equity

Blueprint Denver includes three equity concepts that should be considered when evaluating large developments.

Equity Concepts: Access to Opportunity

Score: 0 Score: 5

Average Access to Opportunity: 3 moderate access

For more information on the metrics and methodology, see Appendix C of Blueprint Denver and the DDPHE Neighborhood Equity Index. Most data sources are from 2014-2018 ACS 5 Year estimate

“Access to Opportunity” reflects the goal for all neighborhoods to be complete with equitable access to a high quality of life including quality jobs, schools, parks, health care services and healthy food.

Score: 3 Score: 0

Total Indicators of Vulnerability to Displacement: 3 Vulnerable

For more information on the metrics and methodology, see Appendix C of Blueprint Denver. Most data sources are from Census ACS 2014-2018

“Reducing Vulnerability to Displacement” means stabilizing residents and businesses who are vulnerable to involuntary displacement due to increasing property values and rents.

Equity Concepts: Vulnerability to Displacement

Score: 0 Score: 5

Total Indicators of Housing Diversity: 1 Not Diverse

For more information on the metrics and methodology, see Appendix C of Blueprint Denver. Most data sources are from 2016

“Housing Diversity” means a neighborhood can offer residents a variety of housing options to accommodate households of different ages, sizes and incomes.

Equity Concepts: Housing Diversity

For more information on the metrics and methodology, see Appendix C of Blueprint Denver, Source 2017 LODES

Access to a range of quality jobs enables people of different incomes and education levels to find employment and wealth-building opportunities.

Equity Concepts: Jobs Diversity
