The Littleton Planning Commission convened on April 22, 2024, at 6:31 p.m., with all members present, confirming a quorum. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the approval of minutes from the previous meeting, which passed unanimously.

During the public comment segment, resident Pam Chadbourne expressed dissatisfaction with the commission's meeting frequency, noting that they had only convened about 25% of their scheduled meetings this year. She criticized the Unified Land Use Code (ULUC), arguing that it has led to a decline in the variety of housing options in Littleton, which she believes was a key factor in the community's appeal. Chadbourne emphasized the importance of maintaining walkable neighborhoods and preserving the city’s character, suggesting that the current market-driven development is not sustainable for the future.

Chadbourne also advocated for revisiting the ULUC to address what she described as significant failures, particularly in terms of affordable housing and environmentally sound building practices. She highlighted the need for a historic overlay district to protect the character of existing neighborhoods, specifically mentioning Geneva Village as a potential site for affordable housing development.

The meeting then transitioned to general business, which was noted as absent, before moving into public hearings. The first public hearing involved a site plan for a single-family detached residence at 4752 West Aberdeen Place, with staff and applicant presentations scheduled to follow.
