A zoning change has been proposed in Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood.

Green Group LLC d/b/a The Zeres Group is currently under contract to purchase the property and rezone it from E-SU-D (single-unit dwelling) to E-TU-C (two-unit duplex). The zoning change would enable the construction of a duplex on the vacant lot, supporting the neighborhood’s need for affordable and diverse housing options.


The adjacent property will also be included in this rezoning request, as The Zeres Group will be assisting the current owner by incorporating their property into the proposal, allowing them to benefit as well from the updated zoning use in the future.

That parcel already includes a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), which could help set a compatible context for adding new housing density in the area.


According to Denver’s pre-application documents, this rezoning aligns with Blueprint Denver and the Elyria-Swansea Neighborhood Plan, both of which encourage diverse housing options while maintaining neighborhood character.

The lot sits in Council District 9, represented by Councilmember Watson, and falls within the “Urban Neighborhood Context” where small multi-unit buildings are considered appropriate.

The public review process includes community outreach, feedback from registered neighborhood organizations, and a public hearing before the Denver City Council.

Residents are encouraged to share input on how the rezoning could support or affect housing goals, affordability, and community stability.
