The Yes on 2O campaign conceded defeat late Tuesday night, saying the site will now be closed to the public and must return to being a privately-owned, regulation-length 18-hole golf course.
As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the ballot measure that would have approved removal of the conservation easement that restricts the use of 155 acres of land in northeast Denver to primarily a golf course was failing with nearly 60% opposition. The margin has tightened slightly with later results. The City Council also approved a rezoning of the land for future development. Plans could include up to 3,200 new housing units and retail. Any future development agreement would have to include 25% of all housing built as income-restricted and 100 acres of the land committed to the city as parks and open space.
“What we reinforced again tonight was that the city had the wrong vision,” said Harry Doby, No on 2O’s treasurer. “They thought the land was expendable. We did not.”
