Even before Denver City Council voted on June 20, the immigrant-owned health facility had filed a complaint.
Evans Medical Center lost a battle at Denver City Council
After that approval, councilmember Kendra Black, who represents the district, introduced resolution 23-0579, an amendment proposing a reduced-height restriction for any future developments on several properties in the University Hills South neighborhood, including the center.
The center's attorneys disagree. On June 19, Amy Brimah and James N. Phillips filed a legal complaint regarding the NSAP on behalf of the Evans Medical Center and Bethesda Professional Office Building Condominium . The complaint claims that the NSAP does not meet its own internal equity requirements nor the equity requirements of Denver's broader planning procedures.
According to Brimah, the 28-day period began on May 23, after Mayor Michael Hancock signed the ordinance approving the NSAP. Any complaints submitted within that"final approval period" must be resolved before the NSAP should be considered fully approved, she says, and the center's objection would definitely qualify.
The arguments against the NSAP do not end there. According to the June 19 filing,"Despite the mandate in the Comprehensive Plan requiring engagement of Plaintiffs by the City and County, representatives of the City and County flipped the burden and blamed Plaintiffs for not engaging and reaching out to the City and County."
