What is an "ADU"?
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are self-contained, smaller living spaces that are an extension of an existing property. They are often called mother-in-law suites, granny flats, casitas, backyard cottages, garage apartments or basement apartments. An ADU has its own kitchen, bath and sleeping area, but is not considered a separate property that could be sold on its own.

Curbside Access Plan for Highland: At the April 28 “Ask the Planner” virtual meeting, Scott Burton, city planner, explained the recently announced draft plan for parking in the Highland. The link below has a map of the areas and a summary of how Highland residents can get parking permits if they are on streets directly affected by this Curbside Access Plan. The CAP is expected to be implemented at the end of 2023. https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Parking-Division/Plans-and-Outreach/Access-Plans.

Additionally, wherever speed limit signs are not posted, the default speed limit will be 20 mph, per city ordinance.
