Greater Downtown District Standards

Overview

In order to encourage intensity, activity and identify of downtown, the entire geographic region of Parker's commercial core was rezoned to a single zoning district entitled Greater Downtown. The primary reason for this Town-initiated rezoning was to ensure a cohesive image while encouraging long-term sustainability and vitality in a manner that would preserve the character of the community.
