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 Mariah Kamei at: info@sunnysidedenver.org
Land Use Committee
The SUNI Land Use Committee is committed to guiding the thoughtful growth and development of our neighborhood through a shared set of values rooted in respect, inclusivity, and stewardship. We honor Sunnyside’s rich history, cultural diversity, and distinct character by advocating for development that enhances livability while preserving the elements that define our community.
Through open dialogue, equitable representation, and collaborative decision-making, we strive to support smart, incremental growth that strengthens neighborhood resilience—socially, economically, and environmentally. We champion responsible land use, sustainable practices, and community-centered design that foster connection, accessibility, and long-term vitality.
Our mission is to ensure that all voices are heard and valued, cultivating a neighborhood where both long-time residents and newcomers can thrive together—building a Sunnyside that is welcoming, adaptable, and rooted in its identity for generations to come.
The committee meets at 6:30PM on the 1st Wednesday of every month and is always welcoming of new, interested members from the community. Email us with any questions.
Agenda, documentation and call info can be found on our Public Drive.
