Project Updates

• The Land Development Ordinance Adoption Staff Draft is now available for review in the "Document Library."


Project Overview

The Town of Parker's Community Development Department initiated a multi-year project in early 2019 to modernize our community's Land Development Ordinance (LDO), and we need your help!

The current LDO was originally adopted at the time of the Town's incorporation in 1981 from County zoning. Portions of the LDO have stayed unchanged for over 30 years, while others have been revised in response to policy changes over time. These incremental updates and revisions have created gaps, inconsistencies and ambiguity within the regulations – resulting in challenges for the public, the development community and Town staff as the LDO is interpreted and implemented. The Town, along with consultant team Clarion Associates, will modernize the LDO into a user-friendly document.

The updated LDO will facilitate a more transparent, modern and efficient approach to how the Town manages future growth and development by better aligning the LDO with the vision, goals and policies of the Parker 2035 Master Plan and other adopted planning documents. Other benefits of this project include adoption of best practices in zoning and a more efficient, easier-to-use regulation.

Modernizing the LDO is a complex process and requires a thoughtful approach. Keep visiting this official project page here on Let’s Talk Parker to get involved with this important project!
