Arapahoe Urban Center District 4 (AUC-4)
Arapahoe Urban Center District No. 4 (AUC-4) is a collection of 23 properties, located at the southwest corner of East Arapahoe Road and Interstate 25. The AUC-4 area is the focus of a City-initiated Regulating Plan to set forth a long-term vision for transforming the area into an economically vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, cohesive mixed-use environment.
AUC-4 was identified in Centennial NEXT as a potential “iconic gateway” for Centennial, yet currently is largely characterized by aging commercial buildings, limited and functionally obsolete infrastructure and a lack of coordinated private reinvestment.
On October 3, 2023, City Council approved the AUC-4 Regulating Plan. Audio and materials from the meeting can be accessed on Agendas, Minutes & Audio. The Regulating Plan will govern cohesive redevelopment opportunities for the area and unlock the development standards in the Urban Center zone district. The Regulating Plan was a City-initiated application to ensure cohesive and coordinated redevelopment occurred within the area while removing a hurdle for redevelopment.
The Regulating Plan provides a broad vision for development in an area and activate the development standards in the Urban Center zone district. A Regulating Plan is required prior to the consideration of site plans for areas under the Urban Center zone district designation. Future site plan applications within AUC-4 will be required to adhere to the approved Regulating Plan.
