The Golden Triangle Neighborhood Plan was an important step in the evolution of this eclectic, creative district in Downtown Denver. The diverse community is informed, active and full of critical thinkers. They had high expectations for innovative planning, design and economic development. And they required planning processes that engage beyond the typical workshop/charrette format. From this need and setting, “Triangle Transformations” was born. This outdoor, take-it-to-the-streets, “pop-up workshop” engaged community members in ways that were unprecedented in the Denver area.

In 2010, the City of Centennial completed a two-year process to rewrite its 30 year old Land Development Code. Following adoption of the new code, city staff legislatively rezoned more than 32,000 properties over a five year period at a total project cost of approximately $16,000.00.
