ZONIG PERMIT
Application Guide
OVERVIEW
Zoning Permits are intended to be used to facilitate the opening of businesses in the City by verifing whether or not
a use is permitted within a building or tenant lease space in accordance with the city’s Zoning Ordinance (Chapter
11 of the Municipal Code). A Zoning Permit is required for all businesses in Northglenn and will be distributed to all
businesses applying for a business license and must be completed and returned to the Planning and Development
Department. Zoning Permits require review and approval by Planning staff prior to any business being opened. This
approval will provide confirmation that the use being proposed is compatible with the zoning of the property. Please
note that the approval off a Zoning Permit does not constitute approval from Building, Fire Department or
other agency codes or requirements. However, Planning staff will provide you with comments from other city-
wide departments that might be applicable to the opening of your business in Northglenn. As a result, you may be
required to coordinate with other departments to address any specific requirements they may have. In some cases a
pre-application meeting may be recommended.
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
A Zoning Permit shall be submitted directly to the Planning and Development Department. You may submit
application in person to the permit counter or vial email at development@northglenn.org. The following application
package must be submitted to the Planning and Development Department to commence review:
Completed Application (see attached).
Completed Questionnaire (see attached) that describes the proposed business.
Completed Industrial Pretreatment Questionnaire required for all new businesses.
PROCESS
Prior to opening of your business, you will need to submit to the Planning and Development Department a fully
completed Application and Questionnaire for a Zoning Permit. A Zoning Permit is required with any new
business, change in business name, ownership, or location. A Zoning Permit can be applied for concurrently
with a business license or any building permits that may be required prior to opening of your business.
DISCLAIMER The issuance of a business license does not confirm that the use of the property is
permitted in accordance with the underlying zoning for the property.
Zoning Permits are reviewed administratively by Planning staff. Planning staff will also forward the permit for
review by various city departments, including but not limited to the following: Public Work (including engineering
and utilities), Building, Economic Development, and Finance, if necessary.
If the use being proposed is consistent with the underlying zoning of the property, the Zoning Permit will be
issued by the City. If any conditions are associated with the approval, they will be noted on the permit.
North Metro Fire Rescue conducts separate review of permits for compliance with the fire code. Separate
approval may be required from NMFRD. You may contact NMFRD at 720-887-8217.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Chapter 11 of the Municipal Code is the city’s Zoning Ordinance. The city’s various zone districts allow for
different land uses. If you would like to know the zoning of your property, you can use the QuickZone link on the
city’s website (http://biz.northglenn.org/quickzone) or contact the Planning and Development Department directly
at 303-450-8739 or via email at development@northglenn.org. You can obtain a list of allowed uses for the
various zone districts by accessing the Zoning Ordinance through the City of Northglenn Municipal Code:

When is a Sign Permit Required?
The majority of non-residential signs require a sign permit whether it is permanent or temporary. The
following information outlines when a permit from the city is required and the performance standards
that need to be met prior to the city approving the permit.
For questions regarding this questionnaire, please contact the Industrial Pretreatment Division at 303-450-4026.
Based upon your business or wastewater discharge classification, an additional survey may be required.
Changes to state regulations require the City of Northglenn to conduct onsite survey inspections of all non-
single family home water service connections to determine if there are any uncontrolled cross-connections.
The City must also ensure that approved backflow prevention methods or assemblies are installed at service
connections. Prior to conducting the State-Mandated Onsite Survey Inspections, the City has opted to have
customers complete the following questionnaire.
If you do not participate in completing the questionnaire, or if the results of the questionnaire are inconclusive
to determine whether any uncontrolled cross-connections exist at your facility, it is anticipated that the City of
Northglenn will conduct an onsite survey inspection at your facility based on state regulations.
Please return the completed questionnaire by _________________, 2017. Questionnaires may be
submitted via mail, email, or fax.
