Box 471 • Boulder, Colorado 80306 • www.bouldercounty.org BOULDER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION May 15, 2013 – 3:00 pm Hearing Room, Third Floor Boulder County Courthouse Staff: Abigail Shannon, AICP DC-13-0001 Various Policy Clarifications and “Clean-Up” Amendments Text amendments to Articles 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 17 to correct and clarify miscellaneous provisions within the Boulder County Land Use Code related to: advertising requirements for BCCP public hearings, eligibility of floodplain variances, clarification in the Kennel use classification, clarification in the Vehicle Service Center use classification, applicability of SPR in the Rural Community Districts, reinstating the Airport regulations, clarification to boundary line adjustment criteria, correcting references to Community Uses in the Sign regulations, and correcting the name of Boulder County Public Health throughout the Code. Public testimony will be taken – Action requested SUMMARY The Land Use Code is a living document. While some amendments are large in scope (such as the recently completed Agricultural amendments), other amendments are more discrete. County staff, members of the public, and decision makers will occasionally identify areas in the Code that are ripe for amendment but not in need of urgent change. We like to package these possible changes into one docket in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency in reviewing and approving these proposals. IDENTIFIED AMENDMENTS Staff has identified nine topics which could be included in an upcoming clarification and “clean-up” docket. Italicized words indicate Land Use Code language – if words are stricken, staff is proposing to delete these words from the Code; if words are underlined, it means staff is proposing to add these words to the Code.
