Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements
on a page-for-page substitution basis, it has become evident
that through usage and supplementation many pages can
be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready
guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume
properly refleets the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequenee.
The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages
as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original
Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification
number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the
page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this
list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the
original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Sec. 37-102. Purpose.
The land use regulations and districts, as herein set forth,
have been made in accordance with a comprehensive zoning
study with reasonable consideration, among other things, -tothe 6haracter of each district and its peculiar suitability for
particular uses with a view to conserving the value of. p-rop-
erties and encouraging the most appropriate use of land
throughout the city.
This chapter is designed to lessen congestion in the streets;
to secure safety from fire, panie and other dangers; to pro-
mote health and the general welfare; to provide adequate
light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid
undue concentration of population; to facilitate the adequate
provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, schogls, parks
and other public r-equirements; and to aid in realizing the
policies, objectives and goals of the city's comprehensive plan.
In additioq the city council takes notice of the dramatic
growth the city has witnessed in the preceding decade and
that the problems generated by such growth can be expected
to continue. The city council also finds that the city has a
unique geographic setting, and that such rapid growth and
urbanizalion d-emands sensitive control of development in
order to preserve and enhance the amenities of this setting
and prote-ct the city from the worst excesses of urban sprawl
and -scattered development which have occurred in other
metropolitan areas of the nation. Therefore,, the city -councildeclarbs that this chapter is adopted for the following ad-
ditional specific purposes :
(a) To promote coordinated, sound development, taking
into consideration the city's unique geographic setting,
amenities of view and open space;
(b) To prevent the overcrowding of land, poor quality in
development, waste and inefficiency in land use, danger
and congestion in travel and transportation, and any
other use or development which might be detrimental
to the stability and livability of the city;
(c) To encourge innovations in residential development
and renewal so that the growing demand for housing
may be met by greater variety in type and design of
dwellings and by the conservation and more efficient
and attractive use of open space;
(d) To advance a more effective use of Iand and a higherquality in site planning reflecting improvements in

Commencing thirty (30) days following the effective dateof this article, the total number of allocations not exempt
shall not exceed two thousand two hundred fifty (2,250),
except for those added pursu.ant to section 37-1302(c), during
the subsequent five (5) year period. Of this total number,
four hundred fifty (450) allocations rnay be approved for a
single construction year rvith the planning board to have
discretion to add a certain number as set forth in the next
paragraph. Of the four hundred fifty (450) total, two hun-

struction year, provided that, in subsequent years, the num-
ber is reduced by an equal amount. The number added, if
any, will be apportioned by the planning board to the two
(2) filing periods in any manner the planning board might
deem appropriate, and be apportioned in such a manner as
to be consistent with the fourth paragraph of this section.
The decision to add any number can be made at any time.
In addition, if in previous years there are additional units
that have been unallocated, or if allocated, expire or are
terminated, then such units also may be allocated over and
above the maximum five hundred (500) units in any con-
struction year.
Applications for allocations under the merit system shall
be submitted to the city on the last rvorking day prior to
January 1 and July 1 of each year for review and action;
provided, however, the initial applications for the first con-
struction year shall be May 8, 1977, and August 15, 1977,
respectively. The land for which the allocations are re-
quested must meet all of the requirements of the land use
regulations on or before the last day for submittal. This shall
include, but not be limited to, planned unit development or
special review use, zoning or rezoning approval (first read-
ing), annexation (first reacling), and preliminary plat ap-
proval. In addition, any interpretations or revievrs required of
the planning hoard/board of zonin.q adjustment must be ob-
tained prior to the last day for submittal.
In making the annual allocation, the planning board shall
allocate no more than two hundred seventS'-five (275) per-
mits for lands outside of the area bounded by Baseline Road

north, and 34th Street on the east. The remaining one hun-
dred seventy-five (175) are to be appnoved for lands located
inside the area bounded by Baseline Road on the south, the
city limits on the west, Iris Avenue on the north, and 34th
Street on the east. No availal:le or potential allocation, or
allocation made but unused, from either area will be used in
the other area.
City council action is required for any portion of a devel-
opment to receive an allocation under the merit system in any
construction year for more than seventy-five (75) units. The
city council may approve more than seventy-five (75) units
to a particular portion of a development upon the demonstra-
tion that the proposed portion of a development is not econom-
ically feasible because of required off-site or other improve-
ments required when fewer than seventy-five (75) units are
built, or upon demonstration that contractual obligations ex-

isting as of November 10, 1976, required an exemption to this
provision. Any allocations granted to a particular portion of
a development under the terms of this provision shall be for
the minimum number of additional permits in excess of sev-
enty-five (75) units as required to ensure economic feasibility
and to honor contractual obligations. (Ord. No. 4208, $ 1,

projects and sale projects with the points being awarded
tlepending upon the price, rent, and the percentage of-units
pr6vided, and other factors as outlined in this sectiou. If the
iotal nurnber of pcints does not result in a whole number,
the number shali -be rounded-off to the lower number if the
fraction is less than one-half (0.5), and rounded up to the
next higher whole nurnber if the fraction is one-half (0.5)- or
grater.-The sales range and rent schedules recognize- that
providing low income housing is primarily the responsibility-ot ttre City of Boulder and consequently has placed gre-ater
emphasis on moderate income housing being pro-vided by
the-private sector. (Maximum twenty (20) points "1")

$ 3?.1305 THE REYISED CODE OF THE CITY OF BOULDER
(1) The number of units and method propos-ed in Provid-ing dwelling units for low and/or moderate income
families.
(2) The sales or marketing plan directed to attract low
and/or moderate income families.
(3) Number of bedrooms per unit in relationship to the' price or rental ranges proposed, and the degree of
emphasis on famliy units for rental projects.
(4) The phrasing or time schedule for the construction and
sale or renting of the units.
(5) Evaluation of the methods proposed by the developer
to assure or guarantee the satisfactory completion of
the developer's commitment. This factor shall be con-
sidered as-a major requirement in the housing author-
ity's decision. If a developer does not adhere to a
pievious commitment to provide.low and/or moderate
income housing, it shall be considered sufficient just-
ification for the housing authority to recommend to the
planning board that they revoke any oUtstanding- al-
iocation the developer may have, as well as withhold
future allocations.
(6) An agreement by the developer to kee'p all previously
constiucted rental units at the agreed upon rent for
two and one-half (2t/) years from the date of issuance
of a certificate of occupancy with annual rent adjust-
ments as approved by the housing authority; an agree-
ment by the developer to keep all new rental units at
the agreed-upon rent until March 10, 1982.
(7) The type of report to be submitted at the end of the
projeit evaluating the results of the commitment.
The location of low and/or moderate income units fulfilling
the requirement of this section is intended to be within the
bounda-ries of the project being reviewed for an allocation of
units. If, however, in ttre opinion of the housing authority,
there are unusual circumstances such as zoning requirements,
location or size of the project, the housing authority may
allow a developer to fulfiil tlie requirement at a location with-
in the city removed from the project if it can be built under
the proviiions of the growth-limitation ordinance. Further,
the irousing authority,ln making its recommendation to the
planning bdard, will iomment upon the-design oI t-hg units.and
their sultabiliti to meet the needs of the intended low and,ror
moderate income occupants. The standards and criteria used

to review and cornment will be from the standpoint of the
housing a-uthority when it sponsors or has a projeit of its ownfor a similar class of occupants. If the proposalis substantial-ly deficient in meeting one or more criteiia, the housing au-thority shSll recommend to the planning boaid a reducti6n ofno more thgn ten (10) in the number of points to be recom-
mended under this subsection.

IV. SITE DESIGN AND RELATIONSHIP WITH
SURROUNDING AREAS
To encourage a functional and efficient use of the land sothat the long-term stability of the site and adjacent landsalg secure, and the overall community value enhanced.
(Maximum thirty (30) points)
Under each section of the site design and relationship with
surrounding areas category, there are identified major fac-
tors or criteria which a project must consider and incorporatein order to receive points. The point assignment will depend
ol- ttrq degree to which a project not only considers the ap-plicable factors, but also how well it incorporates them intothe project. The point seores are variable and may fall any-
where between the maximum and the minimum. Under (a),
"Open Space and Landscaping," and (b), "Circulation andParking,"- and (d), "Relationship to Surrounding Area."
Benchmark points are provided and are to be used as a guide.

schedules on the construction of low and/ot moderate income
housing may be included as a term or condition so that the
city is ensured that it is in fact provided, as repres-ented.
Ph-asing or other scheduling of cons-truction' may also- be ap-
proved-if the applicant can establish economic or other re-
luirements for -fequesting and having the same- ?pproved.ierms and conditions on approval are to be reasona-bly related
to achieving the intents and purposes of this article.
(b) An applicant who has received an allocation- ma.Ir s.gr-
render the allbcation prior to the expiration of the time limita-
tion so that the number of allocations can be reallocated as
provided in the second paragraph of section 37-1303. The ap--plicant will inform the board wtrictr granted the approval the
reasons that the allocations were unused.
An allocation received because the total number applied for
is less than that required to invoke the merit system will have
to be used within the basic conditions set forth in this section,
and the termination provisions of (c) below apply.
(c) The planning board may terminate, after reasonable
notiie and hearins, any part or all allocations of a holder
for noncompliance with-or-breach of the terms and conditions
on approvai. tn the event a condition has been breached but
no hearing has been held and a termination has not occurred,
such a delermination on hearing before the planning board
may be made and it will have the same effect as if a termina-
tion had occurred. The reason for this is that a breach may be
noticed when termination is impractical, i.e., all unjts are half-
way complete in their construction. Similarly, the planning
board may hold a termination hearing on any surrender-ed or
expired allocation and make a termination finding if it deter-
mines that the surrender occurred substantially later than it
in good faith should have, or that the- applicant wtrose. alloca-
tiois expired could not have reasonably anticipated Uling.the
number bf allocations at the time they were granted. Termina-
tion will automatically prohibit the holder from filing, or-ap-
plying for another aliocation for one (1) -year. from the date
6f teimination; provided, however, the planning board may
shorten that period if it deems it appropriate.and cal then
also impose special terms on any future application for an
allocation by that applicant to guarantee that no subsequent
termination occurs.
(d) It is the intention of this article that allocations be
apir6ved for specific land or parcels of p-roperty. Each^ al-
tocation so apprbved shall indicate such land--or property.--Apv
