City of Lone Tree Planned Developments

Planned Development Districts identify areas within the City that are zoned to accommodate a mix of land uses and/or to provide specialized design criteria to support a specific design context and/or neighborhood character. Each Planned Development (PD) District includes an associated PD Development Plan that identifies permitted land uses and provides design criteria to guide development and redevelopment within the district.

In some cases, these plans are supplemented by framework or sub-area plans that specify additional development and design criteria for planning areas within the districts. For applicable residential developments, the framework for roads, residential lots, trails, and parks and open space areas may be further delineated by approved Preliminary Plans, as indicated. All PD District Plans provided below represent the most recent amendment to the plan.
