Plans & Zoning Regulations

The City of Littleton's planning efforts and reviews are guided primarily by our zoning regulations, the Unified Land Use Code, and the Comprehensive Plan, Envision Littleton. These are the core documents planning staff will base their evaluation of projects, permits, and other applications on. They have been reviewed and adopted by the Littleton City Council.
