PLACEHOLDER FOR ZONING DISTRICT DIAGRAM Zoning District graphic to be inserted.

The OS zoning district is intended for public parks, open space, cemeteries, nature preserves, recreation facilities, greenbelts, waterways, trails, protected floodplains, and fields. This zoning district is primarily to identify large-scale public open space and parks on the zoning map. However, a private property owner could also request this designation (e.g., to implement a conservation easement).

Note: This replaces the existing district: Conservation (C-1). This would include City parks and open space, Apex recreation centers and natural areas.

Note: The chart above will contain quick links to other sections of the LDC. These links are to assist the reader to navigate to important related sections in the code.

The intent of this district is to protect the character of established neighborhoods where residents expect the character to be relatively stable. The RN zoning district is not intended to apply to “greenfield” or new development areas. The RN zoning district includes six subdistricts based on the character and lot patterns that already exist, and creates regulations that prevent further subdivision if that subdivision would materially alter the development pattern, as well as to limit building height and mass so redevelopment or expansions do not overwhelm the neighborhood.

The six “sub-districts” are: RN-32.5; RN-12.5; RN-7.5; RN-6; RN-4; and RN-D.

Note: This zoning districts replaces the following existing districts: Residential Countryside Estate (R-CE); Residential R-E); Residential Low Density (R-L); Small Lot, Low Density (R-SL); One & Two Family Residence (R-I); Mixed-Use Industrial, Commercial, Office & Residential (NC-MU-C); PUD-R (where built-out).

The subdistricts chart on the following page has letters that will identify important dimensions in the zoning district diagram. As with the other zoning districts, there will be a chart with quick links to other sections of the code. RN-32.5 This subdistrict has a minimum lot size of 32,500 sf. and will typically have larger residential lots. Only single-family detached housing would be allowed. RN-12.5 This subdistrict has a minimum lot size of 12,500 sf. Only single-family detached housing would be allowed.

RN-7.5 This subdistrict has a minimum lot size of 7,500 sf. A large percentage of residential lots in Arvada currently fall within the existing R-L zoning district and therefore would be rezoned to this district. Only single-family detached housing would be allowed.

RN-6 This subdistrict has a minimum lot size of 6,000 sf. Only single-family detached housing would be allowed.

RN-4 This subdistrict has a minimum lot size of 4,000 sf. Only single-family detached housing would be allowed.

RN-D This subdistrict allows for both duplexes and single-family detached housing. Minimum lot sizes are 9,000 sf. for duplexes and 6,000 sf. for single-family residential houses.

PLACEHOLDER FOR ZONING DISTRICT DIAGRAM for MX-N Zoning District graphic to be inserted.

PLACEHOLDER FOR ZONING DISTRICT DIAGRAM for MX-S Zoning District graphic to be inserted.

There are four proposed mixed-use zoning districts that allow for a variety of scale and types of residential and nonresidential uses. Building types could include linear retail, stand-alone buildings, (e.g., banks, office, retail, residential uses), existing residential buildings as well as new mixed-use and civic buildings. These districts are MX-N, MX-S, MX-U, and MX-T.

MX-N Mixed-Use Neighborhood The MX-N district is intended to accommodate existing residential-form buildings used either for residential, commercial or live/work uses as well as redevelopment with neighborhood-scale mixed-use, residential or commercial buildings on higher traffic volume streets. The following housing types are allowed in this zoning district:

Single-family residential: Small Urban; Urban; Small General; General; and Small Suburban;

Duplex;

Townhome;

Multiplex; and

Multifamily. See Housing Palette section for regulations. Note: This would replace these existing districts: Professional Office (P-1); Neighborhood Business (B-1); General Business (B-2); as appropriate. Examples of where this district could be used is for the Ralston Road corridor west of Olde Town as well as certain properties at high traffic volume intersections where either existing homes can be converted to commercial uses or redevelopment at a neighborhood-scale may be desirable.

MX-S Mixed-Use Suburban MX-S is a mixed-use zoning district that allows a variety of residential and nonresidential uses, in vertically mixed-use, horizontally mixed-use or single-use configurations. The MX-S zoning district may be used to provide a transition between zoning districts with greater and lesser intensity, to promote redevelopment of outmoded commercial centers, or to provide for neighborhood and community-serving mixed-use centers. The MX-S zoning district could apply to development such as suburban office, research, or medical campuses and small-scale shopping centers, as well as development that includes a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. The following housing types are permitted in this zoning district:

Single-family residential: Small Urban; Urban; and Small General;

Duplex;

Townhome;

Multiplex; and

Multifamily. See the Housing Palette section for regulations. Note: This would replace these existing districts: Professional Office (P-1); Neighborhood Business (B-1); General Business (B-2); PUD-R, PUD-BPR, and PUD-BP, as appropriate. As an example, this district could be used for adding residential and mixed-use buildings to existing older suburban shopping centers.

Note: This replaces existing district: Professional Office (P-1); General Business (B-2); Intensive Business District (B-4); PUD-R, PUD-BPR, and PUD-BP, as appropriate. As an example, this district would apply to the existing commercially-zoned land at major intersections along Wadsworth Bypass and Wadsworth Boulevard.

MX-T Mixed-Use Transit-Oriented MX-T is a mixed-use zoning district that allows a variety of residential and nonresidential uses in vertically mixed-use, horizontally mixed-use, or single-use configurations (although single-use configurations may not be allowed in certain areas). MU-T areas are generally located within ½ mile of reliable transit, which can include both rail and bus lines with frequent service. The zoning district promotes urban character, and promotes transit and non-vehicular modes of transportation. MU-T is generally more intense than MU-U. The following housing types are permitted in this zoning district:

Townhome

Multiplex; and

Multifamily. See the Housing Palette section for regulations Note: This replaces existing district: Professional Office (P-1); General Business (B-2); Intensive Business District (B-4); PUD-R, PUD-BPR, and PUD-BP, as appropriate.

The Olde Town zoning district is divided into seven sub-districts that have different form, characteristics, and allowable land uses:

1. OT-E, 2. OT-EY, 3. OT-GV, 4. OT-OW, 5. OT-RR, 6. OT-RN, and 7. OT-W.

Note: The Olde Town Zoning District is essentially unchanged, however some minor revisions are currently being made. We’ve included the in-progress section below for the Advisory Committee’s information and review.

Division 2-4-3 Olde Town Building Form Standards

2-4-3-1 Purpose and Application of Division

A. Purpose. The purpose of this Division is to establish lot, building, and form standards for buildings in the OT zoning district. This Division is applied in conjunction with the Design Guidelines for Olde Town Arvada.

B. Application of Division.

1. Section 2-4-3-2, Building Types, describes eight different building types that are permissible in the OT zoning district. The section includes a matrix that indicates which building types are allowed in each OT subdistrict.

2. Section 2-4-3-3, Generally Applicable Lot and Building Standards, explains each of the standards and measures that are used in the tables in Section 2-4-3-4, Mixed-Use Lot and Building Standards, through Section 2-4-3-11, Civic Building Lot and Building Standards, inclusive.

TABLE NOTE: 1 This permitted building type designation is intended to only address existing buildings. Existing buildings of this type shall be considered conforming for the purposes of expansion, modification, or alteration in a manner that is consistent with the standards established in Sec. 2-4-3-4, Mixed-Use Lot and Building Standards, and the Design Guidelines for Olde Town Arvada. In the event of demolition of an existing building of this type, new development shall be limited to the other building types that are allowed in this sub-district. In the event of damage or destruction of an existing building of this type, the provisions of Article 4-1, Nonconformities, shall apply.

2-4-3-3 Generally Applicable Lot and Building Standards

A. Generally. The provisions of this Section apply to individual building types as provided in Sections 2-4-3-4, Mixed-Use Lot and Building Standards, to 2-4-3-5, Mixed-Use Parking Structure Lot and Building Standards, inclusive.

B. Front Yard Landscaping. Front yard landscaping may include both live plant materials and hardscape plaza or sidewalk areas, but in no case shall the front yard landscaping include areas for vehicle parking.

C. Setback Measurement.


21

1. Front Setbacks. Front setback requirements apply along all street frontages and along the boundaries of McIlvoy Park and Olde Town Plaza. See Figure 2-4-3-3C, Front Setbacks, below.

Figure 2-4-3-3C

Front Setbacks

2. Side and Rear Setbacks. Side and rear setbacks are measured from side and rear property lines.

3. Adjoining Protected Area. For the purposes of measuring adjoining protected area setbacks, a protected area is any single-family residential district that is not a sub-district of the OT zoning district, and any historically significant single-family building that is located either within or outside the OT zoning district.

D. Setback Encroachments. The setback encroachments allowed in Division 2-4-5, Exceptions and Adjustments to Bulk Standards, apply in the OT zoning district, except as specifically modified by this subsection.

1. A cantilevered vertical conveyance system such as steel-framed stairs is allowed to encroach into the front setback, provided that:

a. The system will not cause accumulation of snow and ice on or over the public right-of-way;

b. The encroachment does not exceed six feet; and

c. There is 12 feet of clearance from the surface of the sidewalk to the underside of the first structural member. See Figure 2-4-3-3D, Setback Encroachments.


22

Figure 2-4-3-3D

Setback Encroachments

2. Setback encroachments are not allowed between the front property line and the frontage zone where this condition exists, except as allowed for Cantilevered Vertical Conveyance Systems.

E. Frontage Zone.

1. Generally. The frontage zone is an area of the subject property within which build-to requirements and height limitations may apply, based on subdistrict, building type, and context. See Figure 2-4-3-3E, Frontage Zone. Generally, frontage zone requirements apply along streets, and McIlvoy Park and Olde Town Plaza boundaries.

2. Landscape / Hardscape Requirement. The area of the frontage zone that is located between the building and the sidewalk must be landscaped or hardscaped.

3. Variation. In some circumstances, the frontage zone is composed of two distinct areas, which may provide for different requirements for build-to lines or building height, depending upon the distance from the property line. In such cases, the two areas are described as “Area 1,” which is the portion of the frontage zone that is closest to the street, and “Area 2,” which is the portion of the frontage zone that extends from the interior boundary of Area 1 towards the interior of the subject property.


23

Figure 2-4-3-3E

Frontage Zone

F. Build-To. The required build-to percentage specifies the proportion of the width of the frontage zone (see subsection E., above), that must include a portion of the front building facade. It is measured as width of the building within the frontage zone divided by the length of the property line along which the frontage zone is established. A recessed entry or other similar element that does not affect the fundamental relationship of the building to the street (even if it is not located within the frontage zone) may also be counted in the calculation of this proportion. See Figure 2-4-3-3F, Calculation of Build-To Requirements.

Figure 2-4-3-3F

Calculation of Build-To Requirements

G. Building Width. Building width is the total building width that is allowed on a lot along a specified elevation. See Figure 2-4-3-3G, Building Width.


24

Figure 2-4-3-3G

Building Width

H. Building Height.

1. Measurement. Building height is measured from average grade to the top of the highest point of:

a. The coping of a flat roof; or

b. The deck line of a mansard roof; or

c. The peak or ridge of a pitched roof (e.g., gable, hip, or shed). See Figure 2-4-3-3H1, Building Height.


25

Figure 2-4-3-3H1

Building Height

1. Maximum Height.

a. Maximum building height is measured in both stories and feet. For the purposes of this Division, the relationship between stories and feet is set out in Table 2-4-3-3H, Olde Town Height Limits. All height specifications in this Division that refer to “story” or “stories” also incorporate the “feet” measurements of Table 2-4-3-3H, Olde Town Height Limits.

Table 2-4-3-3H

Olde Town Height Limits

Stories Feet

1 story 22 ft.

2 stories 32 ft.

3 stories 42 ft.

4 stories 55 ft.

5 stories 65 ft.

b. Space within a roof form counts as a story if 50 percent or more of the floor area has a clear height of seven and one-half feet or more, measured from the finished floor to the finished ceiling. See Figure 2-4-3-3H2, Attic Story.


26

Figure 2-4-3-3H2

Attic Story

I. Floor Height.

1. Ground floor elevation is measured from the average sidewalk level to the top of the finished ground floor.

2. Ground story floor height is measured from the top of the finished floor to the ceiling above.

3. Minimum ground story floor height applies only to the first 30 feet of building depth. See Figure 2-4-3-3I, Ground Story Height Measurement.

Figure 2-4-3-3I Ground Story Height Measurement

J. Transparency.

1. The minimum percentage of a building’s width devoted to transparent windows and doors (clad or opaque windows and doors do not count toward the transparency requirements).

2. This standard does not count ground story windows or doors that do not equal at least one-half of the floor height, or upper story windows or doors that do not equal at least one-third of the floor height. See Figure 2-4-3-3J, Building Transparency.

3. The standard applies only on street-facing, park-facing, and plaza-facing facades (as provided in the individual sections of this Division), and not interior or rear-facing facades.


27

Figure 2-4-3-3J

Building Transparency

K. Blank Wall.

1. Blank wall area means the width of any story of a street-facing wall that does not include a

a. Substantial material change (paint color is not considered a substantial change);

b. Window or door; or

c. Column, pilaster, or other articulation greater than 12 inches in depth. See Figure 2-4-3-3K, Blank Wall Area.

2. Blank wall area standards apply to ground story and upper story facades that face adjoining streets, McIlvoy Park, or Town Plaza, as provided in the individual sections of this Division.

Figure 2-4-3-3K
