Why doesn't Denver's skyline block the mountains?

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:51:54 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Mile High City is constantly under renovation, but the mountains aren't going anywhere, and it's not a coincidence. There's a reason you can still see the Rockies in some parts of the city.Denver doesn't have height limits for buildings, which is why there are buildings as tall as 56 stories. But there are rules against blocking the view of the mountains in some places. The almost unobstructed view of the mountains can be chalked up to plane ordinances, which mainly protect the view of the mountains and east-facing views of downtown. $100 million renovations underway at Empower Field at Mile High When it comes to the size of the building, it all depends on the plane ordinances in a specific area. "View plane ordinances specify a reference point and formulas that calculate allowable building height for buildings in a specific area adjacent to the reference point," said Amanda Weston, marketing and communications specialist  for Denver's Community Planning ...

Prosecutors may be aiming for quick Trump trial by not naming alleged conspirators, experts say

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:51:54 GMT

By RICHARD LARDNER and ALAN SUDERMAN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — By not naming or charging six alleged co-conspirators in the indictment this week of former President Donald Trump, federal prosecutors may be signaling their desire to expeditiously put the Republican presidential front-runner on trial for seeking to overturn the 2020 election.More defendants mean more defense lawyers, and more legal motions and more delays, according to legal scholars and former prosecutors. Such a large cast of defendants would make it extremely difficult for Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith to get Trump in front of a jury before the final stretch in the 2024 campaign, the experts said.“This keeps it pretty streamlined,” said Christopher Ott, a former federal prosecutor. “All of those motions by defendants affect all of the defendants, including Trump.
