The ballot question: Shall the Charter of the City and County of Denver be amended concerning zoning to remove existing Charter language regarding the Board of Adjustment and require that the procedures for appeals, variances, and exceptions from the zoning code be addressed in city ordinance instead of in the charter? What it does: This measure would erase a big chunk of the city charter that establishes the Board of Adjustment and Zoning and its authority to hear and make decisions around zoning variances requested by Denver residents and builders. It replaces that with a much shorter section that empower the City Council to provide a process and criteria for filing appeals and granting variances and exceptions to the city’s zoning code. RELATED: The Denver Post voter guide …… What proponents are saying: This is one of two “good governance” measures that the City Council referred to the April 4 ballot along with another proposed change to the way zoning challenges are handled, Referred Question 2N. Councilmembers Robin Kniech and Amanda Sandoval sponsored the effort to refer the question to the ballot.
