Zoning Development Permit — Single Family Residence, Townhome, or Condominium in Woodland Park, Colorado

Required City-level zoning/setback review for new single-family residence, townhome, or condominium construction in Woodland Park. This is the City's own permit (issued by the Planning and Building Department) and is a separate, required step alongside the structural Building Permit issued by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (see the related PPRBD Building Permit entry in this file) — the two are not the same permit and are not issued by the same authority.

When you need this permit

  • New single-family residence, townhome, or condominium construction within Woodland Park city limits
  • A site plan meeting the City's Single Family Residence Site Plan Checklist: engineer's scale drawing, all property-line setbacks and monuments, adjacent zoning, existing/proposed utilities with size/type/material, driveway and vehicle-tracking-pad details, Top of Foundation and Finished Grade elevations, drainage flowline elevations, topography direction arrows, and erosion-control Best Management Practices
  • If the structure is located within 5 feet of a required setback, the contractor must provide a Colorado Licensed Professional Land Surveyor letter certifying the poured foundation matches the site plan location, submitted to the City Inspector after the foundation is poured and PRIOR to framing — a Stop Work Order is issued if this condition is not met
  • HOA/covenant approval must be submitted with the application if the property is subject to covenants — this is the landowner's responsibility
  • A separate PPRBD Building Permit (structural, plumbing, electrical, gas, and heating) is required for the same project; the ZDP does not substitute for it
  • Property owner's signature required on the application prior to submittal, or the permit will not be processed

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Foundation Setback Survey Certification (conditional)

    If the structure is sited within 5 feet of a required setback, a Colorado Licensed Professional Land Surveyor must certify in a letter to the City Inspector that the poured foundation matches the approved Site Plan location. This certification must be submitted PRIOR to framing; a Stop Work Order is issued if not met. Per the City's Single Family Residence Site Plan Checklist, item 1.

Tips

  • The $184.00 ZDP fee is only the City's zoning-review fee — it does NOT include the PPRBD structural Building Permit fee (valuation-based, see the separate PPRBD Building Permit entry in this file), the Regional Park/Storm Water/Transportation Capital fees, Use Tax, or Water/Sewer Tap fees, all of which are billed separately for a new single-family residence.
  • Storm Water Capital and Transportation Capital fees are reassessed every March 1 based on the Denver/Boulder/Greeley CPI-U — confirm the current-year rate with the Planning and Building Department (719-687-5202) rather than assuming the figures in this file remain fixed year over year.
  • If your total disturbed area (driveway, foundation, utility trenches, stockpile areas) will exceed 7,500 sq ft, you must submit a Grading Permit and Plan alongside the SFR ZDP Application — this is easy to miss on smaller in-town lots with a long or wide driveway.

Woodland Park, Colorado has adopted: 2023 Pikes Peak Regional Building Code (PPRBC) — per PPRBD's Residential Plan Review guide, which lists the City of Woodland Park among the jurisdictions served by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Code.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC); 2021 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code (CMERSRC); 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC); 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), or the most recent edition adopted by the State of Colorado, per PPRBD's Residential Plan Review guide; International Fire Code (IFC) and local amendments — enforced by the local Fire Authority (a distinct authority from PPRBD), per PPRBD's Residential Plan Review guide; City of Woodland Park Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning), which separately governs Zoning Development Permit review (setbacks, fencing, signs, etc.) and is administered by the City's own Planning and Building Department rather than PPRBD.. Local amendments apply — see the Woodland Park overview page for the full list.

Both are involved, for different parts of the process. The City of Woodland Park's Planning and Building Department issues the Zoning Development Permit (ZDP), which reviews setback and zoning compliance and must be approved first. Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), a separate regional authority based in Colorado Springs, then issues the structural Building Permit itself, which includes plumbing, electrical, gas, and heating permits for one- and two-family dwellings.
