Centennial, Colorado Zoning Districts: What Do They Mean?
Zoning districts are areas regulated by specific laws that determine land use, building types, and development rules. Each district below shows its zone type. Centennial's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.
| Zone Code | Category | Area | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
NC6 Neighborhood Conservation | - | 2,907.4 ac | Standards & uses → |
NC9 Neighborhood Conservation | - | 2,743.1 ac | Standards & uses → |
OSR Open Space And Recreation | - | 2,084.5 ac | Standards & uses → |

Centennial regulates land through 31 zoning districts, and the structure is built around Neighborhood Conservation. Rather than a single residential category, the city uses a numbered Neighborhood Conservation series, and the two largest districts in the city are both from it, covering roughly 2,907 and 2,743 acres.
The series is extensive: numbered districts at several intensities, a single family attached variant, a multifamily variant, and districts carrying additional suffixes for residential agricultural overlays including equestrian designations. Those suffixed districts are separate classifications, so a parcel with an equestrian overlay is not simply in the base neighborhood conservation district.
The employment side uses a Business Park series numbered 35, 50, 75 and 100, which is a graduated set rather than one category, with Business Park 100 the largest at roughly 1,040 acres. General Commercial covers about 747 acres and an Activity Center district roughly 178.
Open Space And Recreation is the third largest classification at roughly 2,084 acres, and an education, institutional and recreation district covers about 413. Urban Residential provides a higher-intensity option at roughly 202 acres. The practical reading is that Centennial's residential map is deliberately fine-grained, and the exact neighborhood conservation designation, including any suffix, is the first thing to establish on a site. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
Centennial zoning: frequently asked questions
What is the Neighborhood Conservation series?
Centennial's main residential framework: a set of numbered districts at several intensities, plus single family attached and multifamily variants. The two largest districts in the city are both from this series, covering roughly 2,907 and 2,743 acres.
What do the suffixes on some Neighborhood Conservation districts mean?
They mark additional designations, including residential agricultural overlays and equestrian designations. These suffixed districts are separate classifications, so a parcel carrying one is not governed by the plain base district.
What is the Business Park series?
A graduated employment framework with districts numbered 35, 50, 75 and 100. Business Park 100 is the largest at roughly 1,040 acres, making it the fourth largest district in the city overall.
How much open space does Centennial have?
Open Space And Recreation covers roughly 2,084 acres, the third largest classification in the city. A separate education, institutional and recreation district adds about 413 acres.
Is there a higher-density residential option?
Yes. An Urban Residential district covers roughly 202 acres, and the Neighborhood Conservation series includes a multifamily variant at roughly 248 acres. Both are small relative to the numbered conservation districts.
