AUTO-ORIENTED RESIDENTIAL

This designation covers areas of single-family detached residential use where accommodation of the automobile is more
visually dominant relative to more prominent green space in Suburban Residential character areas, typically due to
relatively smaller and narrower lots, and often with limited open space set-asides or amenities for residents.

Auto-Oriented Residential character area north of Mineral Avenue.
Primary Land Use Types

• Detached residential dwellings. Example Proportions
of Auto Urban Character
Characteristics Elements
• Residential neighborhoods with less openness and separation between dwellings
compared to Suburban Residential areas.
• Auto Urban character, especially where driveways and front-loading garages
dominate the front yards and front facades of homes. This can be offset by
landscaping, “anti-monotony” architectural standards, and limitations on “cookie
cutter” subdivision layouts characterized by straight streets and uniform lot sizes and
arrangement.
Where on Map

• Auto-Oriented Residential is shown in two locations, the neighborhood around
Windermere Circle in south Littleton, and the Kensington Ridge neighborhood at the
southeast corner of the city.
