DENVER — The city of Denver has rejected a petition from residents of the Park Hill neighborhood that would have required a supermajority vote of 10 council members to rezone the vacant Park Hill Golf Course, as developers and city leaders eye the space for housing and commercial development.
“It’s just a wonderful place,” Doby said. “Park Hill is one of the strongest communities, I think, in the city. They have such an incredible, diverse identity.” The protest petition process is complicated. Rather than requiring a specific number of signatures, it instead requires signatures from enough property owners in the immediate vicinity so that the sum of their collective properties in square footage is at least 20% of the land in question. In the case of the Park Hill course, about 12 acres of owned property needed to be represented by corresponding signatures.
Per the Protest Petition Guide, “board resolutions authorizing the signer, bylaws, a Statement of Authority, or other applicable documents” are required for signatures from owners of corporate entities such as LLCs. We asked a spokesperson for the city for a response to the complaints from Doby and his neighbors, and were pointed to the email sent to him responding to their submitted petition.
