Loveland is a home rule city in Larimer County, and its zoning, subdivision, and annexation regulations are combined in Title 18 of the Loveland Municipal Code, known as the Unified Development Code (UDC). The UDC is administered by the City's Current Planning division within Development Services.
The Current Planning division coordinates the City's development review process, working with a multi-departmental Development Review Team on applications such as annexations, rezonings, site development plans, and subdivision plats. The Planning Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 500 East Third Street, Loveland, unless otherwise noted on the meeting agenda.
The Planning Commission serves as the ex officio Zoning Board of Adjustment, which decides appeals and requests for variances relating to the administration or enforcement of Title 18. A variance authorizes a departure from the strict application of the Unified Development Code's standards, and to grant one the Board must find there are unusual and exceptional circumstances creating an undue hardship applicable only to the property involved.
Title 18 is organized into parts covering preliminaries; zones, land use, buildings, and structures; site design and environmental quality; nonconformities, development review, and enforcement; and measurement, word usage, and definitions. It brings the City's zoning, subdivision, and annexation regulations together in a single code, and includes overlay zones and appendices such as corridor development standards and overlay zone maps.
The City is divided into zones set out in Table 18.02.201, 'Loveland Zones,' in the Unified Development Code, which also provides for overlay zones that may apply to certain areas. Residential property is generally located in the ER, R1e, R1, R2, R3e, or R3 zones. Property owners can look up the zoning designation for a specific parcel using the City's property/zoning information tools on the Loveland website.
