Description: In 2023, Denverites voted on Referendum 2O, intended to lift the city’s conservation easement on land in Northeast Park Hill that was formerly known as the Park Hill Golf Course. Westside Investment Partners had purchased the land between 35th and 40th, and Colorado and Dahlia, in 2019. Their development plan included lifting the conservation easement that restricts the property to use as a golf course, and then constructing housing, retail spaces, and a park. The 2O referred measure was Westside’s third attempt to lift the easement, against a community group that ran an opposition campaign. The opposition group, “Yes for Parks and Open Space,” hoped to protect the citizen-funded easement, and had hopes that the city would buy the property and build a large park. Ultimately, each of Westside’s three easement removal efforts were voted down by Denver’s voters. This article reports the final referendum results.
