Issues and Legislation

There are a number of growing public policy issues unique to local government in the Denver metro area. DMCAR's Government Affairs Committee and Board of Directors continue to respond to legislative action taken by local government on a gamut of issues -- primarily those of housing, transportation, economic development, land use, tax and brownfields nature. Local issues DMCAR has tracked include:

  • Growth Initiatives

  • Outdoor Lighting Rules and Regulations
  • Transit-Oriented Development
  • Drive-through Restaurant Amendments
  • Zoning Code Revisions
  • Affordable Housing Ordinances
