Golden City Council voted to update the residential zoning code, impacting single, duplex and multifamily homes.
The changes will allow for new construction that reflects the community’s current neighborhoods, something residents have been fighting for.Jeremy Dobish’s home in Golden was built in the late 1800s.
According to the city, the rule of thumb with old zoning used to be “the larger the lot, the larger the building.”Lauren Simmons, Golden’s Title Principal Planner, says the new code takes a micro-level approach to development, thinking about one lot at a time. “That’s whether it’s a cottage cluster, which is having many small households on one piece of property, or having a triplex or a duplex that is compatible with the neighborhood around it,” said Simmons.
