Apply for a Comprehensive Sign Plan

Large facility sign plans are used for facilities located in mixed-use commercial or non-residential zone districts that have at least

• 50,000 sq. ft. of ground-floor area or
• 100,000 sq. ft. of zone lot area (which can include contiguous zone lots)

Large facility sign plans allow for flexibility in the size, type, and location of signs in order to accommodate complex layouts of large facilities, while maintaining a coordinated program of high-quality signage. These plans may require approval by design review boards and/or the Denver Planning Board. 

Supplemental building sign plans are sign plans for specific buildings within a large facility comprehensive sign plan. These may be used for projects that add buildings over time and require a comprehensive and balanced system of signage for each new building, while meeting the standards, locations, and size allowances detailed in the overarching large facility comprehensive sign plan. 

A vital sign plan is required in Cherry Creek North zone districts for all projecting signs. Vital sign plans are used to encourage urban, innovative signs and street graphics that help foster a unique shopping and commercial area and facilitate simple, pleasant communication between people and their environment.

Existing sign plans can be updated to make corrections or modifications through an amendment process. Existing sign plans can also be repealed. Once a plan is repealed, a site must follow the code requirements of its zone district.
