Re: University Place Historic District Design Guidelines
MEMORANDUM
July 5, 2006
TO: Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board
FROM: Susan Richstone, Acting Long Range Planning Manager
James Hewat, Historic Preservation Planner
Alice Gilbertson, Historic Preservation Intern
Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner
SUBJECT: Public hearing and adoption of the University Place Historic District
Design Guidelines as Administrative Regulations pursuant to the
rulemaking procedures set forth in Chapter 1-4, B.R.C. 1981.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is for the Board to review and, if appropriate, adopt the
attached Design Guidelines for the University Place Historic District as administrative
regulations. District specific design guidelines serve as an appendix to the General
Design Guidelines to assist in the interpretation of the historic preservation ordinance as
it specifically relates to the University Place Historic District. These proposed
guidelines were drafted with input from the University Place residents.
BACKGROUND:
The designation process for the University Place Historic District commenced in
November of 2005, and since that time staff has worked with property owners in the
area to explain the process and implications of historic district designation. During
these discussions, design guidelines were developed in consultation with affected
residents to address the unique characteristics of the area. At the December 7, 2005
Landmarks Board meeting, a public hearing was held regarding the Board's
recommendation to city council on the district designation. At that meeting the Board
recommended designation and also adopted the draft guidelines as to substance. The
application was then forwarded to City Council, which designated the district on March
7, 2006.
UNIVERSITY PLACE HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES:
In conjunction with the General Design Guidelines adopted by the Board in 2003,
the University Place Historic District Design Guidelines are intended to provide owners
Memo to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board
Re: University Place Historic District Design Guidelines
of historic properties district specific assistance in making decisions about maintenance
and improvements and to provide the Landmarks Board with a framework for
evaluation of proposed improvements. They will be available to the public online on the
city's website and in printed format for purchase from the Planning Department for a
nominal fee.
The draft guidelines were reviewed and approved as to substance at the
December 7'h, 2005 meeting and subsequently filed with the City Clerk. Notice was
published in the newspaper beginning on June 22nd. The 15 day comment period
concludes on July 6th.
This current version integrates comments received from affected property
owners, Board members, City officials and staff, and the City Attomey's Office. In
general, these comments have included suggestions to help improve the clarity,
organization and graphics of the document. The only text changes of the draft
guidelines since December 7"' is in regards to guideline 11.3.1-3, in which we clarified
the role of the City Forester and care for city and private trees.
If the board or staff makes revisions to the proposed guidelines, they will be re-
posted for a minimum of 15 days for additional public comment, pursuant to the
rulemaking procedures in 1-4, B.R.C., 1981. If the board votes to adopt the guidelines as
proposed, they will go into effect on July 7'h, 2006.

UNIVERSITY PLACE
HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES
These LIniversity Place Historic District Desig-2 Gui~~~elines (the
University Place Gi.~idelines) are intended to assist property
owners and designers as they plan changes to buildings in the
University Place Historic District and to provide the Landmarks
Preservation Advisory Board with a framework for making
consistent decisions in its review of projects. The guidelines
have been developed to recognize the unique character of the
University Place Historic District and are intended to
supplement the Geriernl Design Guidelines for Boulder's Historic
Districts ~nd Irtdividua! Landrnarks (the General Gccirlelirles), which
apply unless otherwise stated. Where the two guidelines
conflict, the University Place Guidelines shall prevail. The
University Place Guidelines acknowledge those aspects of the
University Place Historic District that require a different
approach than typically called for in the Gerieral Guidelines. The
design guidelines are intended to be used as an aid to
appropriate design and not as a checklist of items for
compliance. In some cases, unusual circumstances may allow
for projects to deviate from them.
These guidelines were developed by city staff with assistance
from the residents of the University Place Historic District.
District Description and History
The University Place Historic District contains a concentration
of well-preserved buildings reflecting the prevailing
architectural tastes at the early to mid twentieth century,
including Tudor Revival, English/Norman Cottage Revival,
Craftsman Bungalow, Italian Renaissance Revival, Foursquare,
and Colonial Revival. The Denver and Boulder Land and
Investment Company platted the neighborhood in 1890,
speculating growth as the University of Colorado grew. The
district encompasses the 700 and 800 blocks of 14~h Street, which
is significant for its association with the University, as well as
historic persons and events and as an excellent collection of
buildings reflecting architectural styles of the period. The
defined period of significance for the district is from 1890 (the
year of the platting of the sub-division) to 1941 (beginning of
U.S. involvement in World War II and representing the end of
the major period of development and style of architecture in the
district.)

Land and Investment Company in

ja~ze Sewall's description of the appearance of the University of
Colorado campus in 1877 could probably be extended to thc yet
tmdeveloped adjacent neighborhood of University Hill during
t}Zat period. In 1865, Anthony Arnett had purchased two
Izwldred acres of land, some of which he donated to establish
the University of Colorado. Early photographs oE the locale
show an isolated, undeveloped area containing a few log cibins
and pasture lands for local farmers.
The first large scale development of the area was initiated by a
group of foresighted men who recognized the potential value of
the location. The University Place Addition to Boulder
embraced an area from Sixth througlz Eighteenth Streets and
from College to Baseline Road (excluding a triangular area
which would later become University Park Addition), was laid
out and subdivided, and platted in 1890 b}' the Denver and
Boulder Land and Investment Company.
The company purchased 194 acres of land adjoining the city in
June 1890. The land was divided into 1,8201ots. By 1891, the
company had made some improvements to the subdivision and
tlle University Place began to Ue advertised as a potentially
desirable residential area. However, during the 1893 Silver
Panic, a downturn in the agricultural sector, and the resulting
general depression prevented further development.
It was the opening of the streetcar line in 1899 that ushered in
the long hoped for real estate boom in the University Place
additions. The route from the Depot at 14~E~ Street and Water
Street (now Canyon) traveled on Walnut to Broadway, up 13~n
Street to College Avenue, and then up 9~h Street to Baseline
Road and onto the Chautauc~ua grounds. The return route went
down 10~f~ Street to Aurora, to 14~f~ Street and then to Broadwiy,
to Wa1~1ut and back to the depot. At the start of 1900, steady
growth progressed in the neighUorhood with the construction
of well-built, middle class homes, tlle creation of an elementary
school, and tl~e development of a small cammercial area. It was

1910 when the first homes of the 700 and 800 blocks were
constructed.
However, it was the proximity of the University that attracted
residents to the neighborhood, as people moved to the city for
their education or their children's education. As well, a number
oE university professors chose the University Hill neighborhood
as a choice location to reside. (Physics Dept. chairman, William
Pientenpol lived at 70714~~~ St., and University biologist Gordon
Alexander constructed a home at 76514~h Street).
Early on in the neighborhood's history, a building covenant of
sorts existed and was written into the buyer's deed by the
investment company. It stated that, "no building can be
constructed to cost less than $1500 and must be built of brick,
stone, or a combination of the two."
The University Place Historic District's buildings were
constructed from 1910 through 1957, with four apparent phases
of development. The first is from 1910 through 1919, when 13
of the 36 buildings were constructed. The second phase was a
steady development of 7 additional homes throughout the
1920s. The third is a clustered development of 8 buildings from
1934 to 1941, the final year of the defined period of significance.
The final 8 buildings in the district were from 1947 to 1957. In
1949 the then vacant lot on the corner of 14~" and Aurora
developed with the construction of St. Thomas Aquinas
Catholic Church. The cornerstone of the church was laid
February 26,1950. The church was completed in May 1950. In
1954 architect John K. Monroe was commissioned to complete
the chapel to its present design, which was formally dedicated
on Apri114~h,195b.
Today, these two blocks of the University Place neighborhood
survive as a well-preserved assemblage of early to mid
twentieth century middle-class homes with its tree lined
streetscape and single-family houses. The district derives its
significance as an early example of planned residential design,
with excellent examples of early Boulder architecture, and for
its association with individuals of local significance to the
history of the city including Anthony Arnett, S.C. Fulton,
Charles W. Fulton (Fulton Brothers), William and Helen
Pietenpol, Gordon Alexander, and Henrietta So~ners.
