MIXED CHARACTER CORE NEIGHBORHOOD

This designation is for residential areas relatively close to Downtown and Littleton Boulevard. Of all areas in Littleton,
these neighborhoods – with sidewalk and bike lane improvements in some areas – could be the most conducive for
pedestrian, bicycle, and wheelchair circulation within the neighborhood and to nearby shopping, parks, schools, and other
destinations. Most of these blocks also have rear alley access to properties, at least decreasing the possibility of an Auto
Urban street scene where rear garages or parking are still widely used versus front driveways. These are also some of
Littleton’s oldest neighborhoods, including the locally designated Louthan Heights Historic District.

Mixed Character Core Neighborhood area just north of Littleton Boulevard, east of Downtown.
Primary Land Use Types Mix of
Character Elements
• Detached residential dwellings.

• Other attached residential forms as permitted by zoning.

Characteristics

• A more Urban residential character prevails where lots with relatively shallow front
yards bring single-family detached homes closer to the street, and especially where
no front driveways or garages are visible due to property access from rear alleys.
However, a transition toward Auto Urban character can occur on blocks where front
driveways are introduced over time, especially on lots where new homes are built
after removal of older dwellings.

Where on Map
• Mixed Character Core Neighborhood is shown for various residential areas north and south of Littleton Boulevard, to the
east of Downtown and the railroad corridor.
