FROM: James Hewat, Marcy Cameron
SUBJECT: Update Memo
Historic Resource Survey Plan
Update at meeting.
Civic Area
Glen Huntington Band Shell:
The Civic Area webpage has been updated to provide current information on the historic resources in the
Civic Area. The Band Shell Update (May 2016) provides an update to the Band Shell. Update at Meeting.
Atrium Building/Public Market
The Public Market team has periodically been out at the Wednesday evening or Saturday morning Boulder
Farmers’ Markets to hear from the community about what they think “Boulder’s version” of a public market
could look like. Initial input gives community members the opportunity to share some of their experiences at
other community markets, and to react to draft vision statements and draft goals. All the feedback will
culminate in a Public Market workshop with David O’Neil (leading market hall expert) where public input
will help the city refine the Public Market vision, goals, proposed program and phasing that will be presented
to City Council for direction in November. Discussion is ongoing in considering whether the Atrium Building
might be used as a Market Hall on a temporary or permanent basis. Historic Boulder has agreed to continue
keeping the March 2015 application to landmark the Atrium on hold as exploration of these options continues.
University Hill Commercial District – National Register Nomination
On Dec. 8, the City Council reviewed the University Hill Reinvestment Strategy Update (click for memo). As
part of the strategy, the city is pursing National Register designation for the commercial district. Staff is in the
process of hiring Front Range Research Consultants to undertake the work with view to a May 2017 review of
a National Register of Historic Places by the State Review Board.
