Characteristics
Example Proportions
• Multi-story structures encouraged (or required) to bolster Urban character, encourage of Urban Character
vertical mixed use, promote retail viability, support transit ridership, etc. Elements

• Mostly on-street parking and minimal off-street surface parking (until transition areas
around the downtown core give way to auto-oriented site design).

• Streetscape enhancements in public ways given limited area for private on-site
landscaping relative to other character areas.

• May exclude some auto-oriented uses that cannot achieve an Urban character
(e.g., gas stations, auto repair, drive-in and drive-through uses, etc.).

• Public/institutional uses designed to match the Urban character.
• Alleys and rear-access garages can reinforce Urban character on blocks with
attached or detached residential dwellings.

• Often the only place in a community where multi-level parking structures may make sense and be financially viable.
Where on Map

• Urban Downtown Mixed Use encompasses the main area of Downtown Littleton, between Santa Fe Drive and the
railroad, and from Church Avenue on the south to the vicinities of Powers and Berry avenues on the north.
