In preparation for this rezoning, the City Council has adopted extensive revisions to the land use regulations. Additionally as a prior step to these rezonings, amendments were made to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan land use map.

To understand the effect of the rezoning, locate your property on the appropriate map and note its proposed zoning. Then find the summary sheet that matches the zone. If there have been no changes to the applicable zoning district, no summary sheet will be included. Refer to the existing land use regulations. The revised land use regulations are available in the Planning Departrnent, as well as a version of the regulations that shows where deletions and additions have been made. City planners with expertise on the proposed rezoning for your area are listed on this booklet's cover. After reviewing the information in this booklet, call them with any remaining questions about the effect of the rezoning on your property.

It is anticipated that development will occur in a pedestrian-oriented pattern, with buildings built up to the street; retail uses on the first floor; residential and office uses above the first floor; and where complementary uses may be allowed, CONCEPT Primarily retail uses on the first floor, though some office uses may be appropriate and can be considered by use review. Uses allowed above or below the first floor include retail, o~ce and residential.

Minimum Off-Street Parkina: Concept: Reduce existing off-street parking requirement for business zones by 25 percent. Because the residential uses in this zone will be above the first floor and will be near transit and extensive bike routes, we believe that this is a zone where residents might be able to get around easily without a car. For residents with a car, on-street parking is an option. For this reason, and to encourage affordable housing, only one parking space per unit is required in this zone. On Uni-Hill, the University Hill General Improvement District (UHGID) provides parking for nonresidential uses.

Standard: Principal buildings: 35 feet, three story maximum Accessory buildings: 18 feet, for accessory buildings. Maximum Floor Area Ratio: Concept: In redeveloping areas, create su~cient building mass and mix of uses along the street to create a vibrant center. The maximum FAR for areas within a parking district ret~ects a rivo-story building with zero front and side yard setbacks and a 10 foot rear yard setback. Basements would not count in the FAR. This maximum could not be varied through a site review. Standard: 0.67:1 for all non-residential uses; up to 1:1 if the last 0.33 is for residential use. If located in a parking district, the maximum FAR = 1.85:1(total all uses combined) Maximum Building Size: Concept: Create pedestrian-scale buildings and flexible building spaces to allow for changes in use over time.
