Concept Plan
A concept plan in Denver is an early, informal step where a developer shows the City a basic idea of a project before doing full drawings. It helps City staff point out zoning rules, site issues, or potential problems early, so the project can be adjusted before more time and money are spent. A concept plan does not approve a project or allow permits, but it guides what must be addressed next.
Formal Site Development Plan
A formal site development plan is a detailed set of plans reviewed by the City to confirm that a project meets zoning and design rules. It shows exactly how a site and buildings will be built, including layout, access, utilities, and landscaping. Once approved, it becomes the official plan used by the City to issue zoning and building permits.
