DENVER ZONING CODE June 25, 2010 | Republished July 6, 2015
DIVISION 7.1 NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT DESCRIPTION
SECTION 7.1.1 GENERAL CHARACTER The Urban Center Neighborhood Context consists of multi-unit residential and mixed-use commercial strips and commercial centers. Multi-unit buildings are typically Rowhouse and Apartment forms. Commercial buildings are typically Shopfront and General forms. Multi-unit residential uses are primarily located along residential collector, mixed-use arterial, and local streets. Commercial uses are primarily located along main and mixed-use arterial streets.
SECTION 7.1.2 STREET, BLOCK AND ACCESS PATTERNS The Urban Center Neighborhood Context consists of a regular pattern of block shapes surrounded by an orthogonal street grid. Orthogonal streets provide a regular pattern of pedestrian and vehicular connections through this context and there is a consistent presence of alleys. Block sizes and shapes are consistent and include detached sidewalks, tree lawns, street and surface parking, and landscaping in the front setback
SECTION 7.1.3 BUILDING PLACEMENT AND LOCATION All building typically have consistent orientation and shallow front setbacks with parking at the rear and/or side of the building.
SECTION 7.1.4 BUILDING HEIGHT The Urban Center Neighborhood Context is characterized by moderate to high building heights to promote a dense urban character. Lower scale structures are typically found in areas transitioning to a less dense urban neighborhood.
SECTION 7.1.5 MOBILITY There are high levels of pedestrian and bicycle use with the greatest access to multi-modal transportation system.

SECTION 7.2.2 MIXED USE DISTRICTS (C-MX-3, -5, -8, -12, -16, -20) 7.2.2.1 General Purpose
A. The Mixed Use zone districts are intended to promote safe, active, and pedestrian-scaled, diverse areas through the use of town house, row house, apartment, and shopfront building forms that clearly define and activate the public street edge.
B. The Mixed Use zone districts are intended to enhance the convenience, ease and enjoyment of transit, walking, shopping and public gathering within and around the city’s neighborhoods.
C. The Mixed Use zone district standards are also intended to ensure new development contrib- utes positively to established residential neighborhoods and character, and improves the transi- tion between commercial development and adjacent residential neighborhoods.
D. Compared to the Main Street districts, the Mixed Use districts are focused on creating mixed, diverse neighborhoods. Where Main Street districts are applied to key corridors and retail streets within a neighborhood, the Mixed Use districts are intended for broader application at the neighborhood scale.
E. In the Urban Center Neighborhood Context, the Mixed Use zone districts require the same level of pedestrian enhancements as the Main Street zone districts. In the Urban Center Neighbor- hood Context, the primary difference between the Mixed Use zone districts and the Main Street zone districts is Main Street districts mandate shopfront buildings at the street edge.
F. Mixed use buildings have a shallow front setback range. The build-to requirements are high.

SECTION 7.3.5 SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN STANDARDS 7.3.5.1 Ground Stories of Parking Structures in the C-CCN Zone Districts
A. intent Improve the pedestrian experience along the Street Level in the Cherry Creek North mixed use shopping district by requiring ground-story, pedestrian-friendly active uses in all new or redeveloped buildings and structures containing parking spaces. Active ground-story uses best ensure a steady stream of customer and visitor interaction throughout the day and night, contributing substantially to the activation, economic vitality, and safety of this important mixed-use neighborhood. Street Level area set aside in buildings or structures for active uses is intended to be adequately configured and dimensioned to support the feasible use of such space for pedestrian-friendly active uses.
B. Applicability Section 7.3.5.1 design standards shall apply to any structure containing parking spaces in the C- CCN zone districts. The term “parking spaces” in this provision means both parking spaces ac- cessory to a primary use and/or parking spaces that comprise the primary use of the structure.
c. Permitted Street Level Uses
1. The Street Level of a structure containing parking spaces shall be occupied by a use permitted in the applicable C-CCN zone district for 100% of the structure’s primary street frontage(s), except the following uses are prohibited from occupying any portion of the structure’s street frontage(s): a. Parking, Garage, b. Parking accessory to a primary use otherwise permitted in the same building or
structure, c. Household Living, and d. Automobile Services, Light or Heavy, except as otherwise allowed in Section
11.4.19.3.
2. Residential lobbies and other similar pedestrian access to and through the subject struc- ture from the primary street side(s) of the building may be credited toward compliance with the 100% Street Level use frontage requirement in Section 7.3.5.1.C.1 above.
3. When vehicle access to on-site parking or loading spaces from a primary street is allowed under Section 7.3.5.2, the width of such vehicle access may be credited toward compli- ance with the 100% Street Level use frontage requirement in Section 7.3.5.1.C.1 above.
See also C-CCN zone district use limitations related to ground-story Household Living uses in Section 11.2.5 of this Code, and C-CCN zone district uses limitations related to ground-story Automobile Services, Light or Heavy uses in Section 11.4.19.3.
7.3.5.2 Vehicle Access in the C-CCN Zone Districts A. intent
Vehicle driveways that access zone lots in the C-CCN zone districts directly from a public street create conflict points with pedestrians and detract from the objective of encouraging active ground-story uses along public street frontages in Cherry Creek North. This section’s standards will improve the pedestrian experience along the Street Level in Cherry Creek North by requir- ing vehicle access to zone lots be taken from public alleys to the maximum extent feasible.
| 7.3-27
Article 7. Urban Center Neighborhood Context Division 7.3 Design Standards
DENVER ZONING CODE June 25, 2010 | Republished July 6, 2015
B. Applicability This Section 7.3.5.2 applies to development in the C-CCN zone districts that proposes either new vehicle access or a change in location of existing vehicle access to the subject zone lot. This Section shall apply to all proposed vehicle access points to the same zone lot.
c. Location of Vehicle Access
1. All vehicle access to a zone lot in the C-CCN zone districts shall be from an alley, when al- ley access is present.
2. If alley access is not present or if alley access is not feasible due to lot configuration, an Applicant shall first give preference to vehicle access to the zone lot from a named street before proposing vehicle access from a numbered street.
3. Whenever street (not alley) vehicle access to the zone lot is allowed, the width of the vehicle ingress/egress ways from the street shall be minimized.
7.3.5.3 Vehicle Access in all other Zone Districts A. No Alley
Where a building form specifies “street access allowed when no alley present,” vehicle access from the street is allowed when a zone lot is not bounded by an alley.
B. Alley Where a building form specifies vehicle access from alley is required, and the zone lot is bound- ed by an alley, any newly constructed driveway, driving aisle, garage, carport, or other parking facility shall be accessed solely from an alley, unless:
1. The alley is not provided with an all weather surface of asphalt, asphaltic concrete, con- crete, or any equivalent material;
2. The alley is less than 12 feet in width;
3. At least 60 percent of the existing dwelling units on the same face block are served by driveways, driving aisles, or other parking facilities accessed directly from a primary street;
4. The Department of Public Works prohibits the use of the alley for vehicular access to the zone lot based upon a determination that the alley cannot safely or operationally accom- modate additional vehicular traffic; or
5. The Primary Use is within the Civic, Public, and Institutional Use Category and the De- partment of Public Works determines that access is needed from the street.
7.3.5.4 Street Level Active Uses in the C-MX and C-MS Zone Districts A. intent
To promote activity on the street and sidewalk, enhance safety and encourage a vibrant urban environment.
B. Applicability This Section 7.3.5.4 applies to the General building form in the C-MX zone districts and the Shopfront building form in the C-MS zone districts.
c. Street Level Active Uses
1. Street Level active uses include all permitted primary uses except the following: a. Mini-storage Facility; or b. Wholesale Trade or Storage, Light.

Article 7. Urban Center Neighborhood Context Division 7.4 Uses and Required Minimum Parking
DENVER ZONING CODE June 25, 2010 | Republished July 6, 2015
DIVISION 7.4 USES AND REQUIRED MINIMUM PARKING SECTION 7.4.1 APPLICABILITY 7.4.1.1 This Division 7.4 sets forth the land uses permitted, the required zoning procedure and the required
minimum parking for all the Urban Center Neighborhood Context zone districts.
7.4.1.2 Uses not listed are prohibited, unless the Zoning Administrator specifically permits the unlisted use according to Section 12.4.6, Code Interpretations and Determination of Unlisted Uses.
7.4.1.3 For number of primary and accessory uses permitted per Zone Lot, see Section 1.2.3.5, Number of Structures and Uses allowed per Zone Lot.
SECTION 7.4.2 ORGANIZATION 7.4.2.1 Organized by Primary, Accessory and Temporary Uses
The Use and Parking Table first presents all primary uses, then all accessory uses, and finally all temporary uses. Primary uses are arranged hierarchically within the table by use classification, category of primary uses, and then by specific use type. Accessory uses are organized by whether such use is accessory to a primary residential use or to a primary nonresidential use. Temporary uses are presented alphabetically ordered in the last division of the table.
7.4.2.2 Primary Use Classifications, Categories & Specific Use Types A. Primary Use Classifications
All primary land uses in the Use and Parking Table are organized into one of the following five general land use classifications:
1. Residential Uses
2. Civic, Public & Institutional Uses
3. Commercial Sales, Service & Repair Uses
4. Industrial, Manufacturing & Wholesale Uses
5. Agriculture
B. Primary Use Categories & Specific Use Types Primary uses are further organized into use categories and specific use types listed under each general primary land use classification. The Use and Parking Table is organized into the above five general land use classifications, use categories and specific use types.
c. Classifications & Categories Are Mutually Exclusive The general land use classifications and use categories listed in the Use and Parking Table are intended to be mutually exclusive; that is, a use classified into one use category, such as “lodging accommodations,” cannot be classified in a different use category, such as “group living,” unless otherwise expressly allowed by this Code.
SECTION 7.4.3 EXPLANATION OF TABLE ABBREVIATIONS 7.4.3.1 General Explanation of Table Cell Entries
In each of the table cells, the entry will indicate first whether use limitations apply to the specific use, and then separated by a hyphen, the type of zoning review required prior to establishment of the use under this Code. For example, as described in more detail below, a cell entry “L-ZPIN” means, first, the use is subject to use limitations (the “L”), and, second, that the use is subject to zon- ing permit review with information notice (the “ZPIN”) prior to its establishment.
7.4-2 |
Article 7. Urban Center Neighborhood Context Division 7.4 Uses and Required Minimum Parking
DENVER ZONING CODE June 25, 2010 | Republished July 6, 2015
7.4.3.2 Permitted, Limited, Not Permitted A. Permitted Use - No Use Limitations Apply (“P”)
A “P” in a table cell indicates that the use is permitted in the respective zone district, and is not subject to use limitations.
B. Permitted Use - Subject to Use Limitations (“L”) “L” in a table cell indicates the use is permitted in the zone district subject to compliance with the use limitations referenced in the last column of the use table (“Applicable Use Limitations”).
c. Uses Not Permitted (“NP”) “NP” in a table cell indicates that the use is not permitted in the specific zone district.
7.4.3.3 Zoning Procedure A. Use Subject to Zoning Permit Review (“ZP”)
“ZP” in a table cell indicates that the use is permitted in the respective zone district only if re- viewed and approved according to the requirements in Section 12.4.1, Zoning Permit Review.
B. Use Subject to Zoning Permit Review with Informational Notice (“ZPIN”) “ZPIN” in a table cell indicates that the use is permitted in the respective zone district only if reviewed and approved according to the public notice and procedural requirements in Section 12.4.2, Zoning Permit Review with Informational Notice. Such uses shall comply with any ap- plicable use limitations noted in the last column of the use table (“Applicable Use Limitations”), as well as the review criteria stated in Section 12.4.2, Zoning Permit Review with Informational Notice.
c. Use Subject to Zoning Permit with Special Exception Review (“ZPSE”) “ZPSE” in a table cell indicates that use is generally appropriate in the neighborhood context and zone district, yet may have the potential for limited impacts on adjacent properties or on the established character of the neighborhood context or zone district. “ZPSE” uses are subject to a Board of Adjustments public hearing according to Section 12.4.9, Zoning Permit with Special Exception Review, which grants the Board of Adjustment the authority to impose conditions on the specified use to mitigate any potential impacts. Such uses shall comply with any applicable use limitations noted in the last column of the use table (“Applicable Use Limita- tions”), as well as the review criteria stated in Section 12.4.9, Zoning Permit with Special Excep- tion Review.
D. Uses Where More Than One Zoning Procedure Is Indicated Where a table cell shows more than one zoning procedure applies to a use, for example “L-ZP/ ZPIN”, the referenced use limitation (last table column) will indicate which zoning procedure applies in a specific case. For example, a table cell may indicate “L-ZPIN/ZPSE” for a use. This means that the ZPIN zoning procedure will apply, unless the applicable use limitation specifies the ZPSE zoning procedure is triggered (e.g., by proximity to a Protected District).
7.4.3.4 Enclosure of Uses All primary, accessory and temporary uses must be established, operated and maintained within a completely enclosed structure, unless otherwise specifically allowed by this Code. The Use and Parking Tables in Articles 3-9 indicate when a use may be established, operated or maintained out- side a completely enclosed structure by including an asterisk “*” next to the specific use type. For example, the asterisk following the “Telecommunication Tower*” use type in the tables indicates that a telecommunication tower land use need not be enclosed.
