Early results in one Colorado special election show support for repealing zoning changes made by council members

The voters of Lakewood have spoken, sending city leaders back to the drawing board on rezoning.

Preliminary results in the city's special election posted around 10 p.m. show all four ballot questions leaning heavily toward repealing the City Council's rezoning changes. Early numbers show the "yes" vote nearly doubling the votes to keep the changes in place.

Lakewood council members approved four separate ordinances last October that, among other things, eliminated minimum parking requirements and limited the size of a home, while lifting restrictions on how many units could be in that home.

The council's rezoning changes also allowed for multi-family housing like duplexes and multiplexes in every Lakewood neighborhood.
