Council rejects zoning change for proposed West Highlands private pool club

Denver City Council voted 11-1 Monday to reject a proposed zoning change that would have permitted a local developer to build a private swim club in West Highland.

COLORADO, USA — A narrow residential lot in a West Highlands neighborhood will not be home to a luxury membership-based pool.

Denver City Council voted 11 to 1 on Monday to reject a proposed zoning change that would have permitted a local developer to build a private swim club at 3719 N. Wolff St.

Proponents say the project will add an amenity to the residential area.

Opponents say parking, noise, alcohol, and hours of operation use rank among the top concerns, as do accessibility, safety, and equity.

According to developer Ilan Salzberg of SC&P LLC, the project would be a year-round facility and "relieve pressure on the limited pool amenities available in the neighborhood.”
