DATE: November 9, 2016
SUBJECT: Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan: Proposed updates to the Land Use and Planning Area Maps
reflecting Open Space Board of Trustees and City Council approved changes from 2011 to the
present.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this update is to provide the Open Space Board of Trustees (OSBT) with the previously approved
actions that require changes to the existing Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Map1 and
Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Area I, Area II, Area III Map2 (Attachments A-1 and B-1: Existing Maps
from 2010 Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan). The proposed updates to these maps reflect changes in the
city’s open space ownership since the last Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) update was approved in
2011 and omissions from the BVCP map that were not included during previous updates. These proposed
changes to the maps reflect only actions that have been previously approved by the OSBT and City Council.
Proposed changes to the Land Use and Planning Area Maps are shown on the maps in Attachments A-2 and B-2
respectively.
These changes result from:
Acquisition of open space authorized by the OSBT and City Council
Exchange of open space fee and conservation easement interests on the DePoorter property as previously
authorized by the OSBT and City Council
Disposal of open space as previously authorized by the OSBT and City Council
Corrections to reflect acquisitions previously authorized by the OSBT and City Council that were not
included in previous updates
The properties relevant to each of these categories are listed in Attachment C.
Acquisitions before 2000 were completed prior to formal open space acquisition planning. On Sept. 21, 1999 the
Boulder City Council unanimously approved the city’s first open space acquisition plan. The plan was updated in
2001, 2003, 2005, and most recently 2013. Since 1999, all open space properties were acquired under the
provisions of the applicable plan. All disposals of open space followed the requirements for such action including
those described in Article XII, Section 177 of the City of Boulder Charter.

2 Henceforth “Planning Area Map”
AGENDA ITEM 3B PAGE 1
BACKGROUND
The BVCP guides land use and development in the city and adjacent lands in the Boulder Valley and is updated
on a regular basis. The city and county are currently working on a five-year update to the BVCP. Changes and
updates to the BVCP require review and approval by the city Planning Board, City Council, Boulder County
Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners. Prior to consideration by these four bodies, city
boards and commissions review and comment on relevant changes and updates. Under the City Charter [Article
XII, Section 175 (e)] the OSBT reviews and makes recommendations on open space-related changes and updates
to the BVCP.
Since August of 2016, the OSBT has been presented with monthly information concerning various elements of
the BVCP update. The elements and schedule for information sharing and board action is shown below. This
particular update is highlighted in red.
Land Use Map Updates
Please see Attachment A-1 for the Existing (2010 BVCP) Map3 and Attachment A-2 for the draft map of
proposed updates
The BVCP includes a land use map which is a sketch plan of the desired land use pattern in the Boulder Valley.
Land use categories include residential, business, industrial, public/semi-public, open space and park use. The
open space land use designations are shown below. Staff is not proposing any changes to the land use designation
descriptions as part of this update. The land use designation section of the BVCP begins on page 66 of the plan
and is available at this link.
3 Because of the amount of information, details on the hard copy attachment may be difficult to see. The 2010
BVCP Land Use Map can be viewed online at this link, where detail may be more easily seen using a PDF
reader’s zooming tools.
AGENDA ITEM 3B PAGE 2
The Land Use Map updates that staff expects to request the OSBT recommend to City Council in December
reflect changes in the land use designation of properties are as follows:
From the designation properties had prior to acquisition to “Open Space-Acquired” (OS-A) or “Open
Space-Development Rights” (OS-DR). Properties acquired in fee with the previous approval of the
OSBT and City Council receive the OS-A designation, those acquired through a conservation easement or
similar agreement previously approved by the OSBT and City Council are designated OS-DR.
From OS-A or OS-DR to the appropriate designation for open space property disposals previously
approved by the OSBT and City Council in accordance with the appropriate sections of the City of
Boulder Charter.
From OS-A to OS-DR and from OS-DR to OS-A for the DePoorter property exchange previously
approved by the OSBT and City Council.
The Planning Department staff is still in the process of finalizing the mapping that will be included in the
December OSBT packet. Attachment A-2 contains the latest draft map showing the location of the majority of
the proposed updates to the Land Use Map. The final draft of the map will be brought to the Board in December
with staff listing any updates from the current draft.
Newly Acquired Fee Interests Open Space—Proposed Designation of Open Space Acquired (OS-A)
Approximately 260 acres of open space were acquired in fee by the city since the last BVCP update. OSMP staff
will be requesting that the OSBT recommend OS-A designations for the properties listed in Attachment C under
the heading Newly Acquired Fee Interests Open Space. Each of these properties was previously acquired with
the authorization of the OSBT and City Council. The OSBT and City Council also previously approved a real
estate transaction for the DePoorter property that involved the exchange of a portion of their conservation
easement for a portion of land held in fee by the city. This exchange requires that the land use designations be
updated to Open Space – Development Rights (OS-DR).
Corrections
Analysis by OSMP staff revealed that several OSMP property interests acquired before the last update of the
BVCP had not been included in previous BVCP updates. Staff will be requesting that the OSBT recommend
that these properties be designated as OS-A or OS-DR. The properties in this category are as listed in
Attachment C under the heading Corrections.
BVCP, p. 69
AGENDA ITEM 3B PAGE 3
Property Disposal: Remove Open Space Designation of OS-A
Portions of properties totaling approximately 25 acres were disposed of in the interval between the previous
BVCP update and now. These are listed in Attachment C under the heading Property Disposal-Remove Open
Space Designation. The residences on the Woodley and Stratton properties account for approximately 11 of the
25 acres. Staff proposed and the OSBT and City Council approved the disposal of the residences at the time of
acquisition based upon the recommendation that retention of these homes was not consistent with the needs of
the city and the purposes of open space. All disposals have previously been approved by the OSBT and City
Council in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the City of Boulder Charter.
Planning Area Map
Please see Attachment B-1 for the Existing (2010 BVCP) Planning Area Map4 and Attachment B-2 for the
draft map of proposed updates
The BVCP defines several “Areas.” These indicate the location and extent of urban development in the
Boulder Valley (Attachment A-2). Area I is that portion of the BVCP planning area annexed to the city where
the city provides urban services. Area II is the portion of planning area where the city intends to provide
urban services at some point in the future. Area III is divided into two categories, the Rural Preservation Area
(RPA) and the Planning Reserve. The RPA contains the majority of Area III and represents the part of the
comprehensive planning area where the city and county have agreed that no additional urban services will be
provided. The Planning Reserve is the portion of Area III that the city and county have agreed could be
moved into Area II and eventually annexed to the city with urban services.
There are also portions of Area III that have been annexed for a variety of reasons—most recently to support
potential municipalization of the electrical utility. Although these areas are within the corporate limits of the
City of Boulder, they fall outside the area the city intends to provide urban services. Much of the land in this
category “Area III-Annexed” is comprised of city Open Space.
The BVCP allows for the external boundaries of the planning area to be expanded.
Boulder Valley Planning Area expansions or contractions:
An Area III outer boundary change may be initiated by the city or the county and will be
approved only if it is demonstrated that either expansion or contraction of the planning area is
needed due to changed circumstances or past error in determining the boundary. (BVCP, p. 62).
Such expansions of Area III’s RPA have been approved when the city acquires open space lands outside but
adjacent to the Area III boundary. Recommended expansion to the Planning Area Map are being developed
for the OSMP properties listed in Attachment C under “Planning Area Map Updates” and are shown on
Attachment B-2 Draft Updated Planning Area Map.
Next Steps
Staff expects to return to the OSBT in December with a request that the Board recommends the updates
generally described in this memo. Final draft maps of the proposed updates will be provided as part of the
packet materials for the December meeting.

2010 BVCP Planning Area map can be viewed online at this link, where detail may be more easily seen

Dear Boulder Board & Commission Members:
At the end of each year, the Boulder City Council asks members of the city's boards and
commissions to provide input on the next year's goals and objectives in order to help Council and
the city staff prepare the annual work plan at the January city council retreat. In the past, some
board and commission members have found the questions too narrowly focused. Because you
are leaders in our community, and you are certainly aware of a spectrum of issues, this year we
decided to broaden the questions, seeking input in any area where you have views.
Please see this year's questions below. You need not limit your responses to the area of expertise
of your board/commission. Your entire board/commission may provide a single set of responses
or, if you prefer, each member can provide his or her own responses (if the latter, please submit
all of the member responses in a single packet). So that Council may have the benefit of your
views before its pre-retreat Study Session on January 10, please deliver your responses to your
board secretary no later than the close of business on Friday, December 16.
Thank you for your service to our community.
Sincerely,
Lisa Morzel
