Attached is the disposition for the conditional

Process. Pursuant to Chapter 9-12, B.R.C.
1981, a proposal to combine parcels which
are not conforming platted lots in the same
subdivision or are not considered merged
pursuant to subsection 9-9-2(c), B.R.C. 1981
requires approval of a Preliminary and Final
Plat. The Preliminary Plat (Attachment C)
was approved on February 4, 2020 and is a staff-level decision not subject to call-up pursuant to section 9-4-2,
Development Review Procedures, B.R.C. 1981. Pursuant to section 9-4-2 and section 9-12-10, B.R.C. 1981,
approval of a final plat is subject to planning board call-up and to appeal by any person aggrieved by the decision. If
the decision is not called up or appealed, then it will become final fourteen days after the date of the initial approval.
Background. The property (250 and 260
Pearl Street) consists of unplatted parcels in
the Central Boulder subcommunity, located
southwest of the intersection of Pearl and 3rd
Street. As shown in Figure 1, the site includes
Boulder Auto Detail at 250 Pearl and the
former Meyers Heating and Air Conditioning
location at 260 Pearl. Sunshine Canyon
Creek passes through the northwest corner of
the property. Nearby residential uses include
attached and detached dwelling units to the
west, north, and east, and nearby non-
residential uses include a three-story office
building to the southwest, a car wash to the
south, and a dispensary to the east.
As shown in Figure 2, the property is zoned
BT-2 (Business – Transitional 2), which is
described in section 9-5-2(c)(2)(E), B.R.C.

1981, as “Transitional business areas which generally buffer a residential area from a major street and are
primarily used for commercial and complementary residential uses, including without limitation, temporary
lodging and office uses.” Pursuant to section 9-8-1, Table 8-1, “Intensity Standards,” the minimum lot area for
the zone district is 6,000 square feet.
As shown in Figure 3, portions of the site are
impacted by high hazard, conveyance, 100-
year floodplain, and wetlands areas, and the
final plat includes dedication of a flood control
easement over the flood conveyance zone
surrounding Sunshine Canyon Creek.
Additionally, the final plat includes dedication
of approximately five feet of additional right-of-
way for 3rd Street and a public access
easement along 3rd Street.
As indicated above, the proposed subdivision
will result in one lot. The applicant has
received approval to redevelop the property as
ten residential dwelling units through the by-
right technical document review process (case
number TEC2019-00016). A Subdivision
Agreement (Attachment D) has been signed
for the required improvements at the time of
construction.
Analysis / Conclusion.
Staff finds that this application is consistent with the intent of the Subdivision standards found in Chapter 9-12,
B.R.C. 1981 and meets the applicable Final Plat criteria set forth in section 9-12-8(b), B.R.C. 1981. The
proposed lot will exceed the minimum lot size required by the BT-2 zone district (6,000 square feet).
