Should Denver put more limits on where gas stations can open? City Council members pitch ideas

Several Denver city leaders are looking to clamp down on the planting of new gas stations as a way to prioritize housing and other forms of development — especially near rail transit stops. A proposed zoning amendment released by three City Council members Tuesday would take chunks of the city off the map for future gas pumps by mandating buffers around existing fill-up stations, Regional Transportation District rail stations, and, potentially, low-density residential neighborhoods. The potential zoning code changes would preserve more space for sorely needed new housing and other types of development that better align with the city’s long-term goals, according to a news release.
