In August of 2007 the City of Denver adopted the B-5-T Zone District language and in October of 2007 adopted a zone map amendment for an area of Downtown Denver identified within the Downtown Denver Area Plan as the Cultural Core. This Zone District language provides for the subsequent adoption of a District Sign Plan. The District Sign Plan will allow a greater variety of graphics and signage, including appropriate outdoor general advertising that will promote Denver arts and culture through the encouragement of innovative, urban signs and street graphics within the district. The intent of the graphics and signage program is to enhance the character and identity of the Theater District by encouraging exciting, iconographic and inventively illuminated graphics and signage. This flexibility is only offered in exchange for a higher level of design quality. It is not a matter of right until such time as a District Sign Plan is adopted and all proposed signage and graphics are approved in accordance with adopted standards. |

Purpose of Theatre District Sign Plan
The purpose of this District Sign Plan is to supplement the signage regulations within the Denver Theatre District that otherwise regulate by right signage within the B-5 Downtown zoned district to:
(1) Facilitate the creation and recognition of a unique downtown theater district and build on the character of the Denver Performing Arts Complex;
(2) Provide flexibility in the size, type and location of signs in exchange for a higher standard of design quality for signs within the district sign plan;
(3) Mitigate any possible adverse impacts of large format sign installations on surrounding uses.
