A five-year, $4.6 million contract with ComplyAI for implementation of CivCheck, an online tool for permitting intake and plan review, returns to the Denver City Council agenda Monday, after being postponed last week. 

Officials say the platform uses artificial intelligence automation, machine learning and “intelligent document analysis” to streamline intake and code compliance, improving application quality and speeding up permit reviews by city staff.

On average, the city receives close to 1,000 permit applications per month, with only roughly 38% accepted without issue.

Next, the council will consider a resolution that approves a $7.5 million, 30-year loan agreement with Archway Investment Corp. to develop and construct 150 affordable rental units at 5375 W. 10th Ave. in Denver Council District 3.

At the site of the former 62-unit Jody Apartments, Archway proposes to build Creekside Flats, a 150-unit, transit-oriented, multifamily affordable housing project that will more than double the number of affordable units on the site. 

Archway is requesting the $7.5 million in gap financing from Denver’s Office of Housing Stability.

Elsewhere on the agenda is a resolution to add $851,236 and 12 months to an existing contract with The Salvation Army to provide meals and food service management to Denver micro-communities citywide.

The council will issue two proclamations: the first recognizing the 50th annual Denver March Powwow and the second congratulating the Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee on the 64th anniversary of the annual event.

One required public hearing will be held during the 5:30 p.m. session on Council Bill 26-0062, a bill for an ordinance changing the zoning classification for 4631 N. Josephine St. in the Elyria-Swansea area. 

Denver City Council meetings continue to be held in the Parr-Widener Community Room as renovations in the council chambers progress.

Seating is limited, and the room will fill quickly.

The Denver City Council’s regular meeting begins at 3:30 p.m., with the general public comment session scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
