Re-Zoning/ Variance: Denver

[Account Closed]

I am trying to rifle through the messy process of requesting a variance to or re-zoning a current Residential duplex to a triplex in the city of denver. Lawyer Fees seem outrageous to even get someone on a phone to talk to about the feasibility of this and i'm not trying to spend the money to get nowhere. The process seems annoying enough that it warrants professional help. Has any investor had success in rezoning/ requesting a variance to add an additional unit in Denver? Anything helps.

Variance and rezoning in Denver require you to go through the board of appeals. You have to be able to prove actual hardship for them even consider, the process to get in front of the board is usually 6-8 weeks. 
Is this property currently zoned for duplex but has been used as triplex? Sometimes when this is the case you may be able to make the argument, if you provide more details about your situation I can see if I can help provide a better answer. I can also send you a contact for the technical director of Board if appeals and adjustments at city of Denver.
