Page 56 - Denver, CO Adaptive Reuse Program

For applicants with a food use, pre-application meetings should be
highly recommended, especially with a representative from Sew-
er Use and Drainage Permits in order to discuss the appropriate
grease interceptor size to ensure the applicant does not plan for
one that is larger (and more costly) than necessary.

ii. Create a webpage dedicated to adaptive reuse
In order for potential adaptive reuse project applicants to have all
the information and resources necessary, create a webpage (like-
ly housed within CPD’s dedicated webpages) that focuses solely
on adaptive reuse. Information about adaptive reuse projects is
currently scattered throughout the City’s website and department
webpages, making it difficult for potential applicants to gain all
the necessary information. This webpage should be linked to all
relevant department webpages for easy access.

iii. Improve department webpages
In addition to providing links to an adaptive reuse-focused web-
page, departments should also make it easy for an applicant to find
information about the review process as soon as they are on the
webpage. The review process, staff contact(s), materials needed for
submittal, approximately how long the process will take, the fee
schedule and amounts, should be clearly accessible on each web-
page so an applicant is well informed before utilizing the e-permit
system.

iv. Develop adaptive reuse flowchart
Create an adaptive reuse flowchart that visually shows the depart-
ments involved in the review process and the approximate review
time needed, along with links to the appropriate webpages. While
this flowchart will be a simplified version of the process, it will as-
sist applicants and provide a general understanding of the process.
This flowchart should be added to the adaptive reuse webpage
and in the User’s Handbook and should be paired with the track-
ing sheet.
