The Denver City Council will hold a public hearing to consider rezoning for the Denver Summit FC stadium site in the Baker neighborhood. The hearing is focused on Council Bill 25-1541, which proposes changing the land’s zoning classification to permit construction of the stadium.

The address cited in the rezoning request is 709 S. Delaware St.

This public hearing will be held during the council’s 5:30 p.m. session. A council committee approved a package on Dec. 10 that would allow the city to buy the land at Santa Fe Yards and finance infrastructure improvements. 

Elsewhere on the agenda is a resolution to approve the appointment of Taylor Sun to the Denver Housing Stability Strategic Advisors. According to city documents, Sun holds a graduate degree in social work from the Metropolitan State University of Denver and is currently employed by Denver Health as a social worker specializing in transitional housing.

From the Community Planning and Housing Committee, three resolutions of interest focus on the city’s efforts to address homelessness.

Council Resolution 25-1585 proposes adding $1.6 million and 12 months to an existing contract with The Salvation Army to provide immediate access to family shelter and other services related to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming so.

Council Resolution 25-1880 amends a contract with Colorado Village Collaborative to support programming and operations at the Monroe Village Micro-Community and to cover expenses to close the facility in 2026.  The proposed amendment adds $940,602 and extends the contract by nine months. 

The council will also consider a resolution for a new agreement between the city and The St. Francis Center to provide non-congregate shelter services at Stone Creek, a former Best Western hotel at 4595 Quebec St.

The three-year contract is valued at $20.1 million.

There are also two law-enforcement liability settlements up for approval.

The first is a $150,000 claim involving the Denver Sheriff’s Department, payable to Justin Skaggs. The second is $325,000 payable to the Beem and Isley COLTA Trust to settle a civil action claim involving the Denver Police Department.

Only one proclamation will be issued on Monday, recognizing former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and his “legacy of Denver’s first Black Mayor.” 

Webb served three terms from 1991 to 2003 and is credited with “spurring the revitalization of downtown, creating the Denver Health Authority and completing more than 85% of Denver International Airport.

The Denver City Council will hold its regular meeting on Monday at 3:30 p.m., with the general public comment session scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
