SUMMARY:
The city's current historic preservation regulations were adopted by city council in 2002. As part of Envision Littleton, the regulations will be updated and incorporated into the Unified Land Use Code, Chapter 10 of the City Code. The June 7, 2021 draft ULUC reflects this work. Further review and comment is now underway.
Using the Colorado Model Code for historic preservation regulations as a base, city staff, the HPB and KKC are working to streamline processes, establish pertinent and effective review criteria, and include a new preservation program to be called the Littleton Legacy List. As part of the city's ULUC project, the historic preservation regulations will be relocated from Title 4 - Building Regulations in the Littleton City Code to Title 10 - Unified Land Use Code.
