Body

Presented By: |
Jocelyn Mills, Community Development Director |
BACKGROUND:
• Littleton’s zoning map is a foundational element of the municipal code
• Littleton’s official zoning map is updated periodically
• Littleton’s zoning map is a GIS based map, and includes an on-line version as well as a PDF/paper version
PRIOR ACTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS:
Per the city’s zoning code, the official zoning map must be presented for adoption. The planning commission will discuss the general business item at its October 22, 2018 meeting. Staff will update council on the results of the discussion at the study session.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The official zoning map is a foundational element of Title 10 of the Littleton municipal code. As noted in Section 10-1-6:
(A) Zoning Map: The official zoning map containing the boundaries of the various zone districts in the city, which may consist of one or more parts, is made a part of this title by this reference. Copies of the official zoning map are available from the planning division for the reasonable cost of reproduction.
Littleton’s zoning map is being updated with a new look, which makes it easier to use and read. It also is available on-line on the city’s website for easy access. All future zoning amendments and rezonings will include provisions to revise the official zoning map (as outlined per Chapter 12 of the zoning code).
FISCAL IMPACTS:
N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
A general business item to consider adoption of the official zoning map is tentatively scheduled for the November 6, 2018 agenda. Since there are no changes to the zoning districts and no changes to the zoning of individual properties, no public hearing is required.
