Littleton Code Change Proposals Need Further Analysis: Officials

LITTLETON, CO — Some plans for building designs and parking spaces in downtown Littleton have been put on hold until they can be further analyzed, the Littleton Plans team said in a public notice.

"The February 24th Planning Commission joint study session with the Historical Preservation Board focused on the recommended changes to the design standards which affect only properties within the downtown area," the notice read.

"Since the Council study session in January, several concerns have been raised about the economic and character implications of massing and parking changes. Due to the need for further analysis, staff recommends not addressing massing and parking space calculations at this time."

Littleton residents are invited to take a survey about the character of the downtown core.
