CU-Boulder east campus could eventually house dorms
CU's long-term planning document suggests that a new undergraduate community should house about 1,500 students in three separate dorms on either the east campus or an area north of Boulder Creek.
But there are no development plans drawn up, and the additional housing is still just a conceptual idea in the planning document, said Malinda Miller-Huey, a spokeswoman for the Boulder campus.

Old zoning allowed tall buildings
When the Denver City Council in June 2010 rezoned three parcels near Highland Square to allow five-story building to be constructed on them, it also made another significant zoning change to the main commercial artery in the heart of West Highland.
As part of the first major overhaul of the city’s zoning code in more than a half-century, the City Council also unanimously rezoned much of the popular West 32nd Avenue corridor to U-MS-3 from B-2.
