Business licenses in the various towns where we work2.

Denver and Colorado towns are just that--small towns in comparison to what we're used to.

You will have to dig to see where the property is at in the process.When I worked for developers we would keep things tightly under wraps so people didn't have much time to mount opposition to the plan.The zoning attorney also tries to picks times where most of the public won't show up.Even if you can't get the level of stories or use changed you could argue the developers finishes need to be higher grade and style.That alone might push them to another location because of cost.Once the project is altered to a certain point where the developer can't build density or has to make too many improvements to the roads,traffic lights,high end finishes to the build etc. the project becomes dead.Apartments right now are hot.Many plans call for more town homes but it is not profitable for many developers to build that in this environment.

Since I've in Vegas, we have a lot of quirky conventions in town.

My realtor calls me today on 3 bd. 2 ba. brick repo in my home town for 30k.
