Development Engineering
Littleton's development engineers collaborate with city planners, building division, and public works to manage all land development activities from the drafting of development agreements, plan review, construction inspection, and certification and final review of public improvements.
City of Littleton Development Review Planners and Civil Engineers are available by appointment only. We offer 30-minute appointments on Mondays and Thursdays to discuss topics such as Variances, Setbacks, Zoning, Grading, Floodplain, Land Use, and more.
Note: This appointment SHOULD NOT be used for questions related to pre-application meetings nor active project/permit applications via TRAKiT. If you have questions about Code Compliance, Building Codes, or Permits, please visit during walk-in hours or email the Permit Center: permits@littletonco.gov.

Engineering Design Standards
On September 16, 2025, City Council approved the Littleton Engineering Design Standards and Specifications based on Resolution 89-2025(PDF, 1MB)
.
Effective immediately upon approval, the Littleton Engineering Design Standards and Specifications (LEDS) is the official governing document for all city requirements, design criteria, and implementation standards for public infrastructure and private construction in Littleton. Established to ensure consistency, safety, and long-term maintenance, LEDS serves as a critical resource not only for city staff, but for consultants, contractors, and developers. It covers essential topics including, but not limited to, construction materials (e.g., asphalt and concrete), water quality requirements, traffic signal design, and contractor responsibilities. LEDS applies to city-led projects, private development, new construction, right-of-way permits, and infrastructure maintenance. This document will be updated periodically to reflect industry best practices and align with strategic policy guidance, including the Envision Littleton: Transportation Master Plan.
Littleton Engineering Design Standards and Specifications, and Supplemental Document, City of Littleton Transportation Impact Study Guidelines may be reviewed along with other Littleton Design Requirements and adopted documents.
