PKlei asked 3 months agoThank you for submitting this question, PKlei. As Parker Road is a State highway, any decisions to add these types of walls along this corridor would be made by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Is the Town allowing 5 story apartment/condominium buildings?
sara.lubchenco asked 11 months agoHello and thank you for the question. All properties in the Town of Parker have zoning. Zoning sets forth permitted land uses and standards such as setbacks and height for a specific property. The height permitted varies by zone district. There are some zone districts in Town that allow for five stories in height as a use by right, meaning the Town would allow five story buildings on those sites subject to Town review ensuring all other Town codes and design requirements are met.

Are portable basketball hoops allowed to be located on the side of a public street (in the gutter)?
YS asked almost 2 years agoHello, YS. Our apologies for the delayed response. Basketball hoops located on the side of a public street would violate section 8.02.020 of the Parker Municipal Code:

* It is unlawful for any person to willfully, maliciously, negligently or recklessly place in any doorway or driveway not owned by him or her or under his or her lawful control or on any sidewalk, public highway, street or alley in the Town, any subject which causes or tends to cause the obstruction thereof or of any part thereof.
* (Ord. 5.06.4 §2(3-22), 1989)
Violations of the Parker Municipal Code can be reported to the Community Services Division of the Parker Police Department at 303.841.9800.

Are residential pools still allowed in Parker…Idyllwilde ?
klmickartz asked about 2 years agoHello, klmickartz. From a Town perspective, pools are permitted as an accessory use to homes here in Parker. Residents are required to go through the permitting process with our Building Division when adding a pool. We also recommend that residents reach out to their water and sanitation provider and homeowner's association to ensure they do not have any restrictions.
