Summary
Block parties on single-family lots in Centennial need the consent of every property owner whose lot is included, and count toward the 2-event, 2-day annual cap on residential-lot special events.
Generally, public interest or special events shall not be held on lots that are used for single-family detached or single-family attached residential purposes. However, with the consent of the property owners, neighborhood garage sales and block parties may include lots used for single-family detached or single-family attached purposes.
Full Breakdown
LDC § 12-2-502(B) generally bars public interest or special events from single-family lots, but makes an exception: with the consent of the property owners, neighborhood garage sales and block parties may include single-family detached or attached lots. As a public interest/special event (not an individual garage sale), a block party is not exempt from the temporary use permit required under § 12-2-502(A), and Table 12-2-502 caps "Public Interest or Special Event on Residential Lots or Public Rights-of-Way" at 2 events and 2 days per year in the AG, RS, RA, and NC districts.
Violations & Fines
Including a neighbor's lot in a block party without that owner's consent, or exceeding the 2-event/2-day residential-lot cap, violates § 12-2-502; the City may refuse a permit under § 12-2-502(H).
