Downtown Rezoning and Code Updates in Progress to Improve Compatibility
The Land Use Code requirements for the Downtown (D) Zone district, Neighborhood Conservation Buffer (NCB) Zone, and Historic Preservation section of the Code are being updated. These updates will provide clarity and predictability to the development review process, while also strengthening compatibility between new development and the existing context. These amendments were recommended in the recently adopted Downtown Plan and Old Town Neighborhoods Plan and the Historic Preservation code review project. Part of the proposed changes includes an expansion of the Downtown (D) zone district and the adoption of 9 character subdistricts within the Downtown. The request to expand the Downtown Zone district was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board on December 20th and the rezone and Land Use Code amendments by City Council on February 5, 2019. Contact Long Range Planning Manager, Cameron Gloss, for additional details: Y2dsb3NzQGZjZ292LmNvbQ==.

Development Review Center
The City's Development Review Center is experiencing high volumes of development review project submittals at this time. In order to maintain efficient project reviews and provide accurate, timely responses to inquiries, the City is enacting a series of measures related to the submittal process that may impact you as an applicant.
- Appointments are required for all submittals or resubmittals. Please call the Development Review Center at 970-221-6689 or emailRFJDb29yZEBmY2dvdi5jb20= to schedule an appointment time.
- Only complete submittals are accepted. Consistent with Land Use Code requirements, the submittal will be returned to the applicant if any required materials or application fees are missing or insufficient.
- All complete applications submitted Monday morning through Wednesday noon will be routed the same week. Submittals received after Wednesday noon will be routed the following week.
Please note that applications received earlier in the week will make it easier for Development Review Center staff to distribute plans to reviewing City departments and other referral agencies.
Building permit applications are accepted at any time during business hours, and without appointment.
