 | | The Meridian International Business Center is often included among the finest business parks in North America. The aesthetic and fiscal value of the properties has outpaced other area sub markets including the central business district in Denver for many years. This quality is maintained through the implementation of protective covenants, which include strict design controls. These covenants establish a high set of standards for planning and design, which are fair to all parties, while maintaining exceptional value for each property within Meridian International Business Center. | |
|
|
| | The Protective Covenants of Meridian International Business Center legally apply to all land that is part of Meridian, regardless of ownership, and are independent of the zoning and land use regulations of local government.
| |
|
|
| | The system of land use control created by the Covenants includes not only the Covenants, but also a Master Plan, Design Criteria and Review Procedures. These documents are available through the Design Control Committee offices or can be downloaded on this web site.
| |
|
|
| | The Covenants and supporting documents are administered and enforced by a Design Control Committee ("DCC"). A current listing of members can be found below.
| |
|
|
| | Under the Covenants, any proposal to construct, modify or demolish improvements with Meridian must have plan approval from the DCC prior to commencement. The DCC's review and approval process also applies to signage, changes in property use, and maintenance activities that take place on, or with respect, to property that is part of Meridian. The DCC meets on a regular basis to review plan submittals. After the DCC approves a plan submittal, an applicant may proceed with a project, but only in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of approval. The DCC performs periodic site inspections, both during development and on an ongoing basis thereafter to ensure compliance.
