Blueprint Denver, the city's comprehensive plan, calls for preserving single-family neighborhoods. But the recent move by the city council to reduce the allowed density in two communities has some residents and developers unhappy.

"Proponents argued that multi-unit developments were out of character and out of scale with the neighborhoods, which are overwhelmingly single-family. But opponents said the redevelopment was good for the neighborhoods, and that a rezoning infringed on owners' property rights."
