The City of Arvada Development Team has assembled these guides and checklists as a courtesy to assist applicants with compiling a complete application to expedite the review process. However, it is the responsibility of every applicant to be familiar with the requirements of the LDC and Engineering Code and to clearly show how the application meets those requirements.
- The most recent Land Development Code (LDC) can be found at this link: ARVADA.ORG/LDC-2020
- The most recent City of Arvada Engineering Code of Standards and Specifications for the Design and Construction of Public Improvements can be found at this link: ARVADA.ORG/ENGINEERING-CODE
If you have any questions about these guides, please contact the City Planner or City Development Engineer you have been working with or the Community and Economic Development Department at 720-898-7435 / POD@arvada.org
