Tuesday, May 24, 2011

6:30 p.m.

Council Chambers

1777 Broadway

Following the public hearing, Planning Board will deliberate and take action on the proposed changes. City Council will then take action on the proposed changes on Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Adoption hearings with the Boulder County Planning Commission and Boulder County Commissioners will be held in July and August.

The memo and draft plan is available for review at www.bouldervalleycompplan.net.

The analysis section of the memo and the attachments are organized around the following three components of the update:

1. Policy and text changes: revisions focus on the sustainability policies, urban form and community design policies, reorganization of the plan (including the introduction of new chapters), and reduction in redundant policies.
2. Area III-Planning Reserve: changes include revisions to the overall process, elimination of four-body review requirements, reduction in the overall process length and steps, and creation of a new option for a service area expansion for a significant community opportunity.
3. Map changes: 10 sites were considered for Land Use and Area I, II, III map changes, and several map updates and corrections are proposed. Updates to the Trails Map to reflect current city and county plans are also proposed.
