A Denver resident on Tuesday successfully appealed the zoning decision to build a “micro-community” site in the Overland Park neighborhood in Denver, forcing Mayor Mike Johnston’s office to refile the permit request.
The successful appeal is unlikely to stop the building of the “micro-community” at 621 W. Wesley Ave., which already broke ground.
But it offers a symbolic victory to residents opposed to the city’s plans to erect “micro-communities” in their neighborhoods to house homeless people.
