SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY

This designation is also a subset of Suburban Residential above, for areas and properties where multi-family residential
development achieves – and blends in with – a Suburban character. Some such developments may strive for this
character outcome on their own or due to the terrain and pre-existing vegetation in the vicinity and on-site. To ensure this
outcome for multi-family residential uses, development standards and associated buffering requirements should be set
appropriately within the context of nearby residential and/or nonresidential uses that also reflect Suburban character.

Suburban Residential character of multi-family housing on north side of Berry Avenue (west of Federal Boulevard). The
development’s relatively deep setbacks and extent of trees and landscaping along Irving Street boosts its compatibility
with the Suburban Residential single-family homes across Irving Street. The internalized parking areas on the multi-family
site also contrasts with the Auto Urban character of the school property across Berry Street from the single-family homes.
Primary Land Use Types
Example Proportions
• Multi-unit residential buildings in concentrated development, whether for rent of Suburban Character
(apartments) or ownership (condominiums). Elements
• Other attached residential forms (e.g., duplexes, townhomes, patio homes, etc.) as
permitted in zoning districts intended primarily for multi-family residential uses.
• Planned developments that may integrate a mix of detached, attached and multi-
family housing types, with sufficient open space to preserve an overall Suburban
character.

Characteristics
As a subset of the Suburban Residential category, Suburban Residential Multi-Family
has the same characteristics.
Where on Map

• Suburban Residential Multi-Family is shown in multiple locations including scattered within the widespread Suburban
Residential areas south of Littleton Boulevard to Mineral, in the vicinities of Federal and Lowell boulevards west of
Downtown, at the north end of the city adjacent to the South Platte River, and adjacent to Aspen Grove.
