About our Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO)

An RNO is an organization registered with the City of Denver to receive formal notification of proposed planning and development activities in our area. We serve as the official link between our residents and City Hall.
No. Unlike an HOA, we do not have regulatory authority over your private property or the power to issue fines. We are a voluntary advocacy and social group that ensures our neighborhood's voice is heard at City Hall.
Per Denver requirements, membership is open to all residents (owners and renters), property owners, and business owners within our official boundaries.
Our official boundaries are the blocks between 8th Ave. & Colorado Blvd., 8th Ave. & Holly St., Alameda Ave. & Holly St., and Alameda Ave. & Colorado Blvd.
We do not "approve" private residential plans, but our Zoning Committee monitors large-scale developments and variances to ensure they align with neighborhood character and Denver’s city guidelines.

The best ways to stay updated are by subscribing to our email newsletter, following our social media pages, and checking the "News" section of this website.
We typically hold meetings bi-monthly meetings. These meetings are where we discuss city notices, hear from developers, and vote on official RNO positions. Check our Calendar for the next date.
Absolutely! We have various committees and one-time event needs. Whether you can help for an hour at a summer picnic or want to join a long-term project, we have a place for you.
