As a part of the 2010 Denver Zoning Code update Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were again allowed by right in a select number of neighborhoods within the City and County of Denver. ADUs, or more historically accurate “Carriage Homes” had been allowed in the distant past but had been disallowed within the city as the culture shifted to a suburban and car based economy and lifestyle post World War II. With the change in 2010 and the continued re-population and growth of our urban core it has spurned a growing trend of ADU development. This option is helping homeowners and investors realize dreams to build income, expand their living space, or just have a little extra room when the family arrives while being much less disruptive to the neighborhood fabric than other types of development. Brought to you by Denver’s leading ADU team at L&D Construction, this one-day immersive experience covers everything you need to know about ADU development in Denver. Join construction experts, industry leading architects, and current ADU homeowners as we dive into the trends, opportunities and details behind this housing trend that is changing the landscape of Denver.Within the keynote, discussion, and site visits we will cover all of the details that come with planning and building an ADU, with deeper dives into the complex requirements on zoning, design, lot coverage and budgets. Join us to arm yourself with the tools needed to enter this exciting new space.
