Centennial's Land Development Code regulates driveway design and parking surfaces. The city rejected a 2019 proposal to limit yard parking area percentages. Vehicles should not block sidewalks or encroach on public right-of-way when parked in driveways.
Centennial's Land Development Code (Chapter 12) establishes driveway and parking standards. Driveways must provide adequate parking without vehicles encroaching on sidewalks or public right-of-way. The city rejected a 2019 proposal that would have required RVs and vehicles to park on paved surfaces and limited the percentage of yard area devoted to parking. As a result, Centennial's driveway rules are less restrictive than some neighboring cities. New construction and development must comply with Article 4 form and design standards, which include garage, parking, and driveway specifications. HOA covenants may impose additional restrictions on driveway surfaces and yard parking in many Centennial neighborhoods.
Blocking sidewalks or right-of-way: parking violation. Non-compliant new construction: building code violation.
