CHARTER AMMENDMENT PROPOSAL DELIVERED TO CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 2025
Whereas on January 7, 2025 Littleton’s city council, through a text change to the Uniform Land Use Code, attempted to rezone most residential properties in Littleton, allowing duplexes, triplexes, and multiplexes in single-family residential neighborhoods. While their effort failed, this issue is still in consideration by some members of the city council. Therefore, shall the following proposed amendment to the Littleton City Charter be submitted to voters at the next regular election (November 4, 2025)
Section 65.5 — Preservation of Neighborhood Land Use Restrictions.
It is the intent of the citizens to preserve single-family residential land use and ensure that current and future owners of property in certain residential zoning districts may rely on restrictions on land uses that protect their properties. Accordingly, land uses of properties presently permitted under the Littleton Unified Land Use Code (ULUC) within zoning districts Small Lot Residential (SLR), Medium Lot Residential (MLR), Large Lot
Residential (LLR), and Acreage Residential (ACR) are limited to uses specified therein as of January 1, 2025.
Furthermore, any action by Council to initiate any comprehensive rezoning and official zoning map amendments, including text changes, shall first require notification to all affected property owners by first-class mail delivered by the United States Postal Service. Nothing herein shall prohibit or prevent a property owner from seeking rezoning of the owner’s property.
YOUR VOICE & YOUR VOTE MATTERS
You spoke, we listened. Many people still feel unheard on the Littleton housing density issue. So we hired a professional survey and polling company and asked over 1,100 residents what they’d like to see happen here.
