New Single-Family Residence

2. A "New Single-Family Residence" is a new residential dwelling unit, other than a mobile home or an Accessory Structure, designed for and occupied by one (1) family only on a stable and permanent basis, and is considered to be the primary structure on any residential-zoned lot. All residential-zoned lots in Cherry Hills Village are zoned for single-family use. Guest houses which contain dwelling units are Accessory Structures. Please note that the removal of an entire structure to accommodate the construction of a New Single-Family Residence requires a separate demolition permit from the City, which can only be issued after receipt of approval from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. If you have questions, call the Community Development Department at 303-783-2721.
