Downtown Neighborhood Plan |
Back to Littleton Press Room
City Council Ratifies Downtown Neighborhood Plan
The Littleton City Council voted unanimously January 17 to ratify the Downtown Neighborhood Plan, concluding a four year process of citizen input and Planning Commission work and analysis.
The document is a guideline, not a regulation. The recommendations in the plan do not change zoning, sign code, parking requirements, or any other regulations. However, the recommendations will be used to initiate and evaluate possible changes to the city’s land use regulations and processes. Any changes to regulations are subject to a separate public review and hearing process before they are adopted by the city council. The recommendations will also be used by developers when initiating projects; and by citizens, staff, and appointed and elected officials when reviewing proposals for new development.
The Planning Commission conducted an extensive public outreach program including a citywide survey, a public open house, focus groups, meetings with downtown property owners, retailers and residents; and interviews with representative stakeholders.
The Downtown Neighborhood Plan is a forward-looking document that strives to respond to changes that may impact the area in the next 20 years. Completion of the plan is the first step in the process to update the city’s 1981 Complan. |
