Development Review
Site Plan Review Process & Expectations
Welcome. The City of Denver is committed to providing predictable, consistent, timely and responsible development review process.
- Predictable development allows both the City and the applicant to have expectations that can be relied upon at each step in the process. Predictable means what is asked and what is promised will continue to be both required and delivered through to the end of the project. Exceptions may be made, but not without the understanding and agreement of all parties involved.
- Consistent development review affords both the City and the applicant the reassurance that what is required by one department will not be contradicted by another, what commitments are made by both the applicant and the City will not be withdrawn or changed on the next drawing.
- Timely development means the City will make a commitment that if the applicant fulfills the expectations outlined in this document, the City will meet the time lines outlined in this document.
- Responsible development is the type of development that will make Denver a better place to live that is consistent with Blueprint Denver and Denver’s Citywide Land Use and Transportation Plan that demonstrates excellence in architectural design, sound engineering and overall quality development.
