SUNI Committees

SUNI Committees are where, as the old saying goes, the rubber meets the road. Committees are made up of volunteers who love helping the community and meeting some neighbors in the process! Committees are always looking for volunteers who have time and energy and ideas. The best place to get involved is to join a committee and try to make a difference.

 

If you would like to volunteer to help a committee, please contact Trupti Suthar at: president@sunnysidedenver.org

 

Land Use Committee

Committee Co-Chairs: Rod Kazenske & Trupti Suthar pcd@sunnysidedenver.org

The SUNI Land Use Committee serves the citizens of Sunnyside by representing the neighborhood with regard to planning and zoning matters between its residents, the city, RTD, developers and neighborhood business owners. The principal role of the committee is to advise and consult on zoning, planning and development matters as they affect Sunnyside, its residents and its future.  If you are planning a project for your property or have a zoning matter, this is also for you.

 

The committee meets at 6:30PM on the 2nd Thursday of every month and is always welcoming of new, interested members from the community.  Email us with any questions.
