structure is incidental to the primary structure(s) on the zone lot or to a specific primary use.

c. The Zoning Administrator may impose limitations on the proposed accessory struc-ture, which shall be uniform throughout the zone district, and taking into consider-ation the size of the accessory structure, the total number of structures on the zone lot, and the effect on adjacent property.

d. Matters that may be regulated according to this Section shall include, but shall not be limited to, the size, area and number of accessory structures, except as specifi-cally permitted or excluded by Articles 3 through 9, or by this Section 3.3.4.

C. At an applicant’s request, a detached accessory structure with an existing assigned building form may be assigned a different permitted detached accessory building form if:

1. The structure fully conforms with all applicable standards of the new detached accessory building form; or,

2. The existing assigned detached_accessory building form is no longer a permitted building form in the applicable zone district.

3.3.4.3 Supplemental StandardsA. Additional Standards for Detached Accessory Structures in All Zone Districts

1. Building CoverageAll detached accessory structures on a zone lot, together with the primary structure(s) on such zone lot, shall not exceed any maximum building coverage standard (taking into account any permitted exemptions) applicable in the subject zone district for a particular primary building form (e.g., the suburban house, urban house, and duplex building forms are all subject to a maximum building coverage standard).

2. Public ArtA detached accessory structure may be allowed to exceed any Detached Accessory Build-ing Form standard if it is a “work of public art” as defined by Section 20-86 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code, as determined by the Zoning Administrator with input from Denver Arts and Venues, and if the Zoning Administrator determines that such exception (1) will have no adverse impacts on abutting property, and (2) shall not substantially harm the public health, safety, and general welfare

B. Additional Standards for Structures Accessory to Single Unit Dwellings

1. Required Building MaterialsAll structures accessory to primary single unit dwelling use shall be constructed of materials that are (1) compatible with the materials employed on the primary building, (2) durable, and (3) are not constructed from salvage doors, or other similar materials as designated by the Zoning Administrator.

C. Additional Standards for Detached Accessory Structure Building Forms

1. ApplicabilityThis section applies to the Detached Accessory Structure accessory building forms only.

2. Limit on Gross Floor AreaIf an accessory use is operated partially or entirely in one or more detached accessory structures, the gross floor area of such detached accessory structures shall not exceed 10 percent of the area of the zone lot; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to detached accessory structures with vehicle access doors.

Article 9. Special Contexts and DistrictsDivision 9.7 Master Planned Context


Mobility: Equal priority is given to pedestrians, automobile and transit activity. This context will often have has access to the multi-modal transit system in at least a portion of the context.

SECTION 9.7.2 DISTRICTS ESTABLISHEDTo carry out the provisions of this Code, the following zone districts have been established in the Master Planned Context and are applied to property as set forth on the Official Map.

Master Planned Context M-RH-3 Row House 3M-RX-3 Residential Mixed Use 3M-RX-5 Residential Mixed Use 5M-RX-5A Residential Mixed Use 5AM-CC-5 Commercial Corridor 5M-MX-5 Commercial Mixed Use 5M-IMX-5 Industrial Mixed Use 5M-IMX-8 Industrial Mixed Use 8M-IMX-12 Industrial Mixed Use 12M-GMX General Mixed Use

9.7.2.1 General Purpose

A. The intent of zone districts within the Master Planned Context is to provide flexibility for mas-ter planned development of large sites to respond to evolving market opportunities over time. The zone district regulations support phased mixed-use development and allow for a wide variety of uses and building forms. As development proceeds, the permitted uses and building forms are further defined to provide clarity and predictable development outcomes.

B. The building form standards and use standards support medium to high density development and are organized into nine distinct zone districts. Multiple building forms are allowed on a single zone lot.

9.7.2.2 Specific IntentA. Row House 3 (M-RH-3)

M-RH-3 is a residential district intended to promote development of new neighborhoods up to 3 stories in height. Single and two unit building forms are often located on small lots and all building forms usually have relatively shallow setbacks and high building coverage. There is a consistent front yard setback with buildings oriented either towards a primary street or to internal courtyard or open space areas. Parking access from the rear or from the front when no alley is present.

B. Residential Mixed Use 3 (M-RX-3)M-RX-3 is a Residential Mixed-Use District intended to promote development of new neighbor-hoods up to 3 stories in height. Single and two unit building forms are often located on small lots and all building forms usually have relatively shallow setbacks and high building coverage. Multi-unit building forms may be built directly at the sidewalk edge and general building forms may be located on corner sites. Buildings are oriented either towards a primary street or to internal courtyard or open space areas. Parking access from the rear or from the front when no alley is present. Compared to the Mixed Use districts, the Residential Mixed Use districts are primarily intended to accommodate residential uses. Commercial uses are secondary to the primary residential use of the district, and provide neighborhood-scaled shops and offices for residents to conveniently access goods and services within walking distance.

C. Residential Mixed Use 5 (M-RX-5)M-RX-5 is a Residential Mixed-Use District intended to promote development of new neighbor-hoods up to 5 stories in height. Single and two unit building forms are often located on small

2. To support and reinforce the viability and continuation of neighborhoods and communi-ties that provide healthy environments for all their residents;

3. To prevent the “institutionalization” of residential neighborhoods by concentrating Resi-dential Care uses so as to allow all residents, including the special populations, to reap the benefits of residential surroundings;

4. To increase location opportunities for critically needed Residential Care facilities, thereby helping to integrate special populations into the mainstream of society;

5. To comply with the principles, policies and regulations of federal and state fair housing legislation;

6. To establish an ongoing, effective process of communication between local neighborhood residents, the operators of Residential Care facilities and city agencies that regulate such facilities;

7. To encourage and coordinate the use by the regulatory city agencies, as well as by all involved licensing agencies, of common categories and definitions of Residential Care facilities for special populations; and

8. To promote the dispersing of facilities and beds for special populations thereby prevent-ing individuals from being forced into neighborhoods with concentrations of treatment facilities and beds and thus perpetuating isolation resulting from institutionalization.

Article 12. Zoning Procedures & EnforcementDivision 12.8 Nonconforming Structures


Division 12.8 NONCONFORMING STRUCTURESSECTION 12.8.1 INTENTThe creation in this Division of the legal status of "nonconforming structure" assures that structures that no longer comply with the building form standards of the applicable zone district are strictly limited in their right to physically alter, expand, enlarge, or rebuild. Such nonconforming structures are presumed to be in-compatible with the neighborhood context and built character sought in the zone district, typically because of the nonconforming structure's mass or scale, site placement, or building design. Accordingly, the provisions in this Division 12.8 encourage redevelopment of or alterations to such nonconforming structures to ultimate-ly achieve full compliance with the zone district's building form standards.

SECTION 12.8.2 APPLICABILITYDivision 12.8 shall apply to all nonconforming structures. For purposes of this code, "nonconforming struc-ture" means any structure that was lawfully erected or altered in conformity with all applicable municipal ordinances, but which structure does not comply with all of the provisions of this Code established for conforming structures in the zone district in which the structure is located and is not otherwise a "compliant structure" under Division 12.6, Compliant Structures.

SECTION 12.8.3 CONTINUANCE AND ENLARGEMENT12.8.3.1 General Allowance to Continue and Enlarge Nonconforming Structures

A. Subject to all limitations of this Division 12.8, any nonconforming structure may be occupied, operated, and maintained in a good state of repair.

B. Subject to all limitations of this Code, any nonconforming structure may be altered or enlarged so long as no existing nonconformity is increased and no new nonconformity is created.

SECTION 12.8.4 TERMINATION OF NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES 12.8.4.1 Involuntary Destruction or Damage to Structure

The right to operate and maintain any nonconforming structure shall terminate and shall cease to exist whenever the nonconforming structure is damaged or demolished in any manner and from any cause whatsoever and the cost of repairing such damage or demolitionshed exceeds 75 percent of the replacement cost of such structure on the date of such damage or demolitionshed.

12.8.4.2 Obsolescence of StructureThe right to operate and maintain any nonconforming structure shall terminate and shall cease to exist whenever the nonconforming structure becomes obsolete or substandard under any appli-cable ordinance of the city and the cost of placing such structure in lawful compliance with the ap-plicable ordinance exceeds 50 percent of the replacement cost of such structure on the date that the Zoning Administrator determines that such structure is obsolete or substandard.

12.8.4.3 Determination of Replacement CostIn determining the replacement cost of any nonconforming structure there shall not be included therein the cost of land or any factors other than the nonconforming structure itself.

12.8.4.4 The Right to Reconstruct Certain StructuresNotwithstanding the provisions of subsections 12.8.4.1, 12.8.4.2, and 12.8.4.3, the right to operate and maintain any of the nonconforming structures listed below shall not be terminated regardless of the amount of damage, destruction or obsolescence; provided, however, that any such recon-structed nonconforming structures shall not be enlarged and/or extended beyond that which existed previously unless the enlargement and/or extension complies with all the provisions of this Code.

and 50 foot width standards otherwise required for an Urban House form in that zone district. Development of the urban house on the existing 4,500 square foot zone lot must still comply with all other building height, siting, and design element form standards. Certain siting form standards, such as primary street and rear building setbacks or building coverage for an Urban House, are keyed to the lot width of the subject zone lot, including a nonconforming zone lot. In this example, the Urban House would be subject to setback and building coverage standards for a 40-foot wide zone lot, as shown in the Urban House Building Form Table in Article 5 of this Code.

B. For example, in the U-SU-C1 zone district, a zone lot of 4,500 square feet in total area and with a lot width of 40 feet, is nonconforming. The building form standards for a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit building requires a minimum of 5,500 square feet of zone lot area as a prerequi-site for development of such form. In this case, the owner could not develop a Detached Acces-sory Dwelling Unit building on her lot because the lot is less than the 5,500 square feet required in the U-SU-C1 zone district for that form.

SECTION 12.10.4 DEVELOPMENT ON CARRIAGE LOTS

This Section 12.10.4 applies to:

A. All Nonconforming Zone Lots that qualify as Carriage Lots and do not contain a legally estab-lished Primary Dwelling Unit use; and

B. All Nonconforming zone lots that qualify as Carriage Lots that contain a legally established Primary Dwelling Unit use in the event of Voluntary Demolition

Notwithstanding the requirement for zone lots to have frontage on a named or numbered public street, the Zoning Administrator may grant a zoning permit for detached accessory structures used for the noncom-mercial parking of motor vehicles (residential vehicle garages) or used to house accessory dwelling units on carriage lots in specific cases, provided the following procedures and conditions are satisfied:

12.10.4.1 The permit application under this subsection shall be subject to Zoning Permit Review with Infor-mational Notice, according to Section 12.4.2 of this Code.

12.10.4.2 In deciding to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application, the Zoning Administrator shall consider written comments of all interested parties and the impact of the proposed detached accessory structure and proposed use on adjoining properties.

12.10.4.3 The Zoning Administrator may grant the zoning permit provided the proposed detached accessory structure complies with the following standards:

A. Ownership of the Subject Carriage LotThe applicant shall be the owner of the subject carriage lot or portion thereof, and shall have their principal residence located in the block surrounding the subject carriage lot or portion thereof. The granting of the zoning permit shall be personal to the applicant.

B. Accessory Dwelling Unit Use of Detached Structure The detached accessory structure may be used for an accessory dwelling unit provided such accessory dwelling unit use is permitted in the applicable zone district, and provided the pro-posed accessory dwelling unit use complies, to the maximum extent feasible, with the accessory dwelling unit standards in Section 11.8.2, except as stated in this Section 12.10.4.3.

C. Compliance with Building Form StandardsA detached accessory structure on a carriage lot shall comply with the applicable zone district building form standards for either a detached garage or a detached accessory dwelling unit building form, except that such structure shall comply with the following lot area and setback standards instead of the otherwise applicable building form standards.

13.1.5.3 Primary Street, Block Sensitive Setback A. Intent

To provide a contextual setback appropriate to existing conditions.

B. Applicability of Primary Street, Block Sensitive SetbackWhere required by this Code’s building form standards, a Block Sensitive Setback standard shall apply to development on a zone lot in the following circumstances only:

1. There are at least 3 zone lots, including the subject zone lot, (a) containing primary residential structures, (b) located on the same Face Block as the subject zone lot and (c) abutting the same Primary Street as the subject zone lot. All such primary residential structures shall be completely constructed, which means the City has issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Occupancy for residential occupancy See Figure 13.1-41 (Note: The Primary Street is determined according to Section 13.1.5.2)

2. If the rule in paragraph 1 does not apply, the applicant may request to be subject to a Primary Street, Block Sensitive Setback and shall follow the Administrative Adjustment process to determine the Primary Street, Block Sensitive Setback, rather than this Section 13.1.5.3. See Article 12, Section 12.4.5.3, Permitted Types of Administrative Adjustments.

3. Where the rules in paragraphs 1 or 2 do not apply, the “Primary street setback, where block sensitive setback does not apply” standard stated in the applicable building form table shall apply.

iii. Block Sensitive Setback in a MU or RO zone districta) Where the Primary Street Setback is required in a MU or RO zone dis-

trict and the Block Sensitive Setback is determined to be greater than 20 feet, the minimum Primary Street Setback shall be 20 feet instead.

3. Administrative Adjustment to Consider Entire Block FaceAn Applicant may request an administrative adjustment to consider the entire block face in the determination of the block sensitive primary street setback. See Article 12, Section 12.4.5.3, Permitted Types of Administrative Adjustments.

4. Rule of Measurementa. The Block Sensitive Setback is a minimum setback based on the location of the front

Facades of the Primary PtructuresStructures on the reference zone lots identified in subsections C.1. and C.2. above.

b. The Façade of a Primary Structure on the subject zone lot shall be located no closer to its primary street zone lot line than the shortest distance between a Primary Structure Façade located on an identified reference zone lot(s) and its respective primary street zone lot line.

13.1.5.4 Determination of Primary Street, Side Street, Side Interior, and Rear Zone Lot Lines for all CC, MX, and MS Zone Districts

A. IntentTo provide a reference of measurement for standards related to form and building placement (e.g. Build-to, Setbacks)

B. General Requirements

1. Each zone lot line shall have a designation of Primary Street, Side Street, Side Interior or Rear.

2. Each zone lot shall have at least one Primary Street.

3. A primary street zone lot line or a side street zone lot line may abut a private street if ap-proved by the Zoning Administrator.

13.1.6.2 Dwelling Unit Oriented to the Street A. Intent

To ensure that buildings contribute to vibrant pedestrian-oriented street frontages by requiring Dwelling Units near the street to orient to and engage the street while still allowing for design flexibility in Dwelling Unit shape and location.

B. ApplicabilityThe Primary Building Form Standards in Articles 3 through 9 specify required Dwelling Units Oriented to the Street for the Primary Building Forms of Row House and Town House.

C. General RequirementsFor purposes of this standard, a"Dwelling Unit Oriented to the Street" shall meet the following requirements:

1. A Dwelling Unit that is Street-Facing and the width of the Dwelling Unit does not exceed the length of the Dwelling Unit as measured below;

2. A Dwelling Unit where the Street-Facing Dwelling Unit Facade width must be at least 75% of the total width of the same Dwelling Unit as measured below; and

| 13.1-67



Figure 13.1-96

3. The Dwelling Unit required to be oriented to the street must share a wall with at least one additional Dwelling Unit also oriented to the same street.

D. Rules of MeasurementDwelling Unit Proportions

1. Dwelling Unit WidthDwelling Unit Width shall be the linear distance of the Dwelling Unit at its widest point at any height. The width is measured parallel to the front Dwelling Unit Façade facing the corresponding Primary Street or Side Street to which the Dwelling Unit is oriented. See Figure 13.1-97

2. Dwelling Unit Length Dwelling Unit Length shall be the linear distance of the Dwelling Unit at its longest point at any height. The length is measured perpendicular to the front Dwelling Unit Façade facing the corresponding Primary Street or Side Street to which the Dwelling Unit is ori-ented. See Figure 13.1-97

13.1-68 |



Figure 13.1-97

3. Street-Facing Dwelling Unit Façade(s) a. For the purposes of this rule, a Dwelling Unit Façade shall be associated with a

Dwelling Unit if the same Dwelling Unit is located directly behind the façade. b. A Dwelling Unit facade is “street-facing” if it faces a named or numbered street,

which shall be determined by extending a line the width of the facade and per-pendicular to it to the Zone Lot boundary. If the said line touches the right-of-way of a named or numbered street at the Zone Lot boundary, then said Dwelling Unit facade is “street-facing.” See Figure 13.1-998

c. The Street-facing Dwelling Unit Facade(s) width(s) are measured at the highest point horizontally where the Facade meets the Finished Grade. See Figure 13.1-98

Figure 13.1-98

| 13.1-69



d. The Street-facing Dwelling Unit Façade(s) is the total linear width of the Façade(s) that are associated with a Dwelling Unit and that face the corresponding Primary Street or Side Street to which the same Dwelling Unit is oriented. See Figure 13.1-99

e. Where more than one street-facing Dwelling Unit Façade faces the corresponding Primary Street and/or Side Street, the linear width of each Façade is measured separately and combined to determine the total linear distance.
