Littleton meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Littleton agendas: data center moratorium proposal, land use code sessions, license hearings

Littleton's City Council and Licensing Commission agendas over the past two weeks listed a proposed pause on data center applications, joint sessions on land use and historic preservation rules, two license hearings, and a set of budget and policy resolutions. Minutes for all three meetings have not yet been published, so no votes, tallies, or final outcomes are confirmed in the records available. The items below are as they appear on the agendas.

Agendas describe what a body is scheduled to consider. They do not establish what was decided.

Data center moratorium proposed

Ordinance 22-2026, listed as a proposed temporary moratorium on data center applications, appeared on the Oct. 20 City Council agenda. The same agenda summary describes discussion of the 2027 proposed budget and water management strategies for Ketring Lake, along with decisions on several resolutions concerning business improvement districts and city insurance. Because minutes are not published, whether the ordinance was introduced, advanced, or acted on is not established by the available record.

Budget plans for two business improvement districts

Also listed for Oct. 20: Resolution 70-2026 and Resolution 71-2026, the 2027 Operating Plans and Budgets for the Aspen Grove and Mineral business improvement districts. The agenda does not state dollar amounts for either plan. Resolution 78-2026, a Professional Services Agreement for a Transportation Master Plan Update, and Ordinance 18-2026, an update to massage establishment regulations to comply with state law, were also on the list.

Resolutions opposing two state amendments

Resolutions 74-2026 and 75-2026 were listed as opposing Colorado Amendments 81 and 84. The agenda summary does not describe the subject matter of either amendment.

Land use code and preservation chart

The Council held joint study sessions on Oct. 13 — one with the Historical Preservation Commission on the Major-Minor Alterations Chart (ID# 26-201), and one with the Planning Commission on priorities and updates to the Unified Land Use Code (ID# 26-190). Both were listed as study sessions, which the agenda record does not show producing an action item.

Licensing Commission hearings

The Licensing Commission scheduled public hearings on two applications on Oct. 14: a liquor license for QuikTrip 4212 at 7699 S. Santa Fe Dr. (LC Resolution 01-2026) and a retail marijuana center license transfer for Fired Cannabis at 5231 S. Santa Fe Dr., Ste. 100 (LC Resolution 02-2026). Outcomes are not yet in the published record.

Coming up

City Council, Oct. 27 — a study session on recommendations from the Geneva Village Redevelopment Advisory Team (ID# 26-219), plus general updates from city leadership. The agenda lists the redevelopment item as a study session discussion; no vote is listed. Residents can read the full agenda and any supporting packet through the city's official meeting portal, which is the authoritative record for both this meeting and the three summarized above.

Littleton agendas cover utility rate study, school and rail tax resolutions, land-use code sessions — but no minutes yet posted

Littleton City Council's Oct. 6 meeting, a joint study session on Oct. 13 and a Licensing Commission hearing on Oct. 14 are documented so far only by their agendas. No minutes or vote tallies for those meetings appear in the records reviewed for this roundup, so this article describes what was scheduled, not what was decided.

Utility rate study and two ballot resolutions on the Oct. 6 agenda

The council's Oct. 6 meeting at the Littleton Center, 2255 West Berry Avenue, was set to begin after an executive session. Agendized items included the final Utility Rate Study report and two resolutions taking positions on local ballot measures: Resolution 67-2026, supporting a Yes vote on Ballot Issue 4A, a $10 million mill levy override for Littleton Public Schools, and Resolution 68-2026, supporting a Yes vote on Ballot Issue 7A, a 0.333% Front Range Passenger Rail District sales and use tax for Colorado Connector passenger rail service.

A consent agenda listed Ordinance 18-2026 on first reading, which would repeal and reenact Title 3, Chapter 11 on massage establishments to align with state licensure and fingerprint-based criminal history checks; a motion to increase the cost of the Plante Moran engagement for the 2025 fiscal year audit, with no amount stated in the agenda summary; and Resolution 69-2026, approving an intergovernmental agreement with the High Line Canal Conservancy for the 2024 grant award for Phase 2 of the High Line Canal Irrigated Tree Planting Pilot Project. No ordinances on second reading and no public hearings were scheduled.

Closed session on two performance evaluations

A separate special meeting was set for 5:00 PM on Oct. 6 at the Littleton Center, Council Chamber, with a single listed action: a motion to adjourn into executive session under C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(f)(I) and Article III, Section 27 of the City Charter to discuss performance evaluations for the city manager and city attorney. No other business was listed. Accommodation requests go to 303-795-3780 at least 48 hours before the meeting.

Land use code and historical preservation

On Oct. 13 the council was scheduled to hold study sessions jointly with the Planning Commission and the Historical Preservation Commission. The preservation session covers the Major-Minor Alterations Chart (ID# 26-201); the planning session covers priorities and updates to the Unified Land Use Code (ID# 26-190). Study sessions are discussion meetings, and the agendas list no votes.

Licensing hearings

The Licensing Commission scheduled public hearings on Oct. 14 for two applications: a liquor license for QuikTrip 4212 at 7699 S. Santa Fe Dr. (LC Resolution 01-2026) and a retail marijuana center license transfer for Fired Cannabis at 5231 S. Santa Fe Dr., Ste. 100 (LC Resolution 02-2026).

Coming up

City Council, Oct. 20: Ordinance 22-2026, a proposed temporary moratorium on data center applications; discussion of the 2027 proposed budget and water management strategies for Ketring Lake; Resolutions 70-2026 and 71-2026 on 2027 operating plans and budgets for the Aspen Grove and Mineral business improvement districts; Resolution 78-2026, a professional services agreement for the Transportation Master Plan Update; Ordinance 18-2026 on massage establishment regulations; and Resolutions 74-2026 and 75-2026 opposing Colorado Amendments 81 and 84. The massage establishment ordinance also appeared on the Oct. 6 agenda.

Littleton councils discuss redevelopment, speed limits, and historic facades; no votes recorded

No final decisions were recorded at Littleton public meetings during the week of Aug. 10–18. All recent sessions were study sessions or agenda items for which minutes have not yet been published, so the outcomes of any votes are not yet available. The most consequential discussions centered on the future of the Geneva Village site, utility rates, and a proposed citywide speed limit.

City Council study session (Aug. 11)

The City Council held a study session to discuss three topics, with no formal votes scheduled:

• Options for redeveloping the Geneva Village site (ID# 26-150)
• Results of a utility rate study, part 2 (ID# 26-155)
• Governance model options for South Platte Renew (ID# 26-157)

Presentations were given by the Technical Advisory Panel and FCS Group. The session was for discussion and information only.

Planning Commission study session (Aug. 10)

The Planning Commission reviewed the ULUC Transition Standards (ID# 26-152) in a study session. This was a discussion item, not a final decision.

Historical Preservation Commission (Aug. 17)

The commission held a public hearing to consider two Certificates of Appropriateness for facade remodels on West Main Street. Resolutions on the agenda were:

• HPC Resolution 03-2026: Certificate of Appropriateness for a restaurant at 2589 W. Main St.
• HPC Resolution 04-2026: Conditional approval for a building at 2450 W. Main St.

The commission also approved the April 20, 2026 meeting minutes (ID# 26-093) and allowed public comment with a three-minute limit per speaker. In a separate study session the same day, the commission discussed Blueprint Boulevard (ID# 26-153) for 60 minutes, with no formal decisions listed.

City Council regular meeting (Aug. 18)

The council’s regular meeting included a consent agenda with several resolutions and an ordinance, plus a discussion item on hauler licensing and an equal space ordinance. The consent agenda items were:

• Resolution 53-2026: Amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with Englewood for a shared green business program
• Ordinance 17-2026 (first reading): Set a maximum speed limit of 25 mph citywide unless otherwise posted

• Resolution 56-2026: Intergovernmental agreement with Englewood for a financial contribution to the 2026 Surface Sealing Project

The hauler licensing and equal space ordinance proposal was presented and discussed but not voted on. No public hearings were scheduled.

Coming up

• **City Council study session** – Aug. 25, 2026. The council will discuss basis of design program options for the Belleview Service Center (ID# 26-163) and a draft ordinance on e-bike and e-motor safety (ID# 26-159). No formal votes are scheduled; the meeting also includes updates from council members, the mayor, city manager, and city attorney.

Littleton Roundup: Council Tackled Rezoning, Landmark Designation, and Construction Contracts; Outcomes Pending

Littleton's City Council had a busy late July, with rezoning, a landmark designation, and multiple construction contracts on the agenda. However, minutes from all three recent meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes — including vote tallies and whether ordinances passed — are not yet available in the public record.

City Council — July 21

The council's July 21 regular meeting agenda included several consequential items:

• **Ordinance 14-2026:** A rezoning request for the northwest corner of Trailmark Blvd and S. Wadsworth Blvd to Small Lot Residential.
• **Ordinance 15-2026:** Landmark designation of 6777 Southridge Lane, known as the Pray-Parsons House.
• **Resolution 48-2026:** A construction contract with FNF Construction, Inc. for the Prince Street Link Project.
• **Resolution 49-2026:** A construction contract with RME Ltd., LLC for the Euclid Neighborhood 2026 Street Reconstruction.
• **Resolution 41-2026:** Adoption of the City's Debt Management Policy and Procedure.

Because minutes have not been published, this roundup cannot report whether these items were approved, tabled, or continued. Readers should check the city's official meeting portal for the final record.

City Council Joint Study Session — July 28

Council held a joint study session with the Arts & Culture Board to receive a presentation on the results of an Arts & Culture Economic Impact Study (ID# 26-115 and ID# 26-128). The agenda also included updates from council members, the mayor, the city manager, and the city attorney. No votes or decisions were scheduled for this discussion-only meeting.

Historical Preservation Commission — July 20

The Historical Preservation Commission held a study session on July 20 consisting of a walking tour focused on Blueprint Boulevard (ID# 26-146). As with the other meetings, minutes have not yet been published.

What This Means for Residents

The rezoning at Trailmark Blvd and S. Wadsworth Blvd, if approved, would change what can be built at that corner. The landmark designation of the Pray-Parsons House at 6777 Southridge Lane would formally recognize the property's historical significance. The two construction contracts — for the Prince Street Link Project and the Euclid Neighborhood 2026 Street Reconstruction — involve public infrastructure spending, though the dollar amounts are not specified in the available agenda data. The Debt Management Policy adoption would govern how the city handles borrowing.

All of these outcomes remain unconfirmed until the minutes are published.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed on the city's calendar for the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to monitor the city's official website for newly posted agendas or schedule changes.
