7.3.5.2 Ground Stories of Parking Structures in the C-CCN Zone Districts

A. Intent
Improve the pedestrian experience along the Street Level in the Cherry Creek North mixed use shopping district by
requiring Street Level active uses in all new or redeveloped buildings and structures containing parking spaces. Street
Level active uses best ensure a steady stream of customer and visitor interaction throughout the day and night,
contributing substantially to the activation, economic vitality, and safety of this important mixed-use neighborhood.
Street Level area set aside in buildings or structures for active uses is intended to be adequately configured and
dimensioned to support the feasible use of such space for Street Level active uses.

B. Applicability
Section 7.3.5.2 design standards shall apply to any structure containing parking spaces in the C-CCN zone districts. The
term “parking spaces” in this provision means both parking spaces accessory to a primary use and/or parking spaces
that comprise the primary use of the structure.
