Please contact the Planning Department at 303-679-2436 with any questions you have regarding these zoning requirements. You MUST submit a site plan that meets the criteria outlined in the checklist.
After your permit has been approved and issued, you may begin the construction and must have the work inspected after the work is completed. You will receive complete instructions on how to request all of the necessary inspections when the permit is issued.
The construction and required inspection must be completed within six months of the date of issue or your permit will expire. If the project cannot be completed within that time frame, you may be eligible for an extension of an additional 180 days, provided the permit has not already expired and a letter explaining the delay and requesting the extension is submitted. THE INTERNATIONAL CODE ALLOWS ONLY ONE EXTENSION TO BE GRANTED.
