A bill for an ordinance changing the zoning classification for 8250 East 40th Avenue in Central Park. Approves a map amendment to rezone property from OS-A to I-B, located at 8250 E 40th Avenue, in Council District 8. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 12-9-2025.

This ordinance (CB25-1991) approves a map amendment to rezone a 1.02-acre property located at 8250 East 40th Avenue in Council District 8 from OS-A (Open Space Public Parks District) to I-B (General Industrial District). The rezoning is requested by the Executive Director of Community Planning and Development (CPD) to rectify a 2010 mapping error. The property, owned by Quality Linings Properties LLC, was originally zoned I-2 (Heavy Industrial) but was incorrectly classified as city-owned and inadvertently rezoned to OS-A during the 2010 citywide rezoning.

The proposed I-B zoning is consistent with the area's industrial context and aligns with several city plans, including the Denver Comprehensive Plan 2040, Blueprint Denver, Central Park Boulevard Station Area Plan, and Central Park Development Plan, all of which support industrial development and employment growth in this location. The Community Planning and Housing Committee approved the filing on December 9, 2025, and the City Council Public Hearing is scheduled for January 12, 2026. All city agencies referred for review approved the change with no comments, and no public or Registered Neighborhood Organization comments have been received.

This rezoning corrects a long-standing mapping error, allowing for continued and expanded industrial operations at 8250 East 40th Avenue, which could support local employment. It clarifies that this private property is not a public park, as it was mistakenly zoned, and ensures the area remains designated for industrial use, with no new residential development permitted.
