plenty of new builds in Denver have detached garages in the back
this is usually done for zoning, houses and outbuildings can only take up so much land on a property (footprint) based on zoning laws to prevent people from building a mecca cube that takes up every square inch of their property without any utility setbacks or fire access
if only 60% of the lot can be built on, 40% of the first floor footprint will be the garage as it’s typically a space over 400 SF (20x20 for two car)
surprisingly Denver is great with this, most garages are detached and accessible by the rear alley, even with newer builds
fun fact: Denver’s streets are much more narrow than Salt Lake City’s because Utah used Oxen instead of horses for wagon freight, oxen require a massive turn radius
