Note that the Landmarks Board adopted the following QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION
RULE on April 23, 2020.
The Landmarks Board (“Board”) may hold quasi-judicial hearings at a meeting through electronic participation, subject
to the procedures set forth in this Rule. To the extent practical, the Board will use its standard meeting procedures, as
modified by this Rule. To the extent that this Rule conflicts with the procedural rules of the Board, this Rule is intended
to prevail.
QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION RULE GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Applicant’s Written Request. An applicant may request to have its application for a hearing conducted via
electronic participation by completing a written request form provided by the city. The applicant will acknowledge
that holding a quasi-judicial hearing by electronic participation presents certain legal risks and involves an area of
legal uncertainty, and the applicant will acknowledge that moving forward with a quasi-judicial hearing by
electronic participation will be at its own risk.
B. City Manager to Determine Suitability of Conducting Quasi-Judicial Hearing by Electronic Participation. These
procedures create no right in any party to a quasi-judicial matter to a hearing conducted by electronic
participation. Upon receipt of a written request, the city manager will determine whether the city has the
capability to hold the particular type of hearing by electronic participation, what available form of electronic
participation is most appropriate for the type of hearing, and set a date(s) for the hearing(s).
C. Hearings Open to the Public and Subject to Adequate Technology. Hearings will be open to the public and provide
the ability for interested members of the public to join the hearing electronically. The method chosen by the city
manager will ensure the public can view or listen to the hearing in real time and interested parties may speak at
designated times during the hearing. If at any point the city manager or board chair determines it is not possible or
prudent to hold the hearing by electronic participation, whether due to technical issues or an inability to do so
while meeting constitutional due process requirements, the hearing will be continued or vacated, and the matter
will be held in abeyance until any technical problems can be resolved or in-person meetings have resumed.
D. Notice Requirements. In addition to the requirements of the Boulder Revised Code, the city will include additional
notice about how the hearing will be conducted and how the public can access, observe, and participate in the
hearing. The additional notice is intended to reasonably inform interested persons that such hearing will instead
be held by electronic participation; provided, however, this additional notice will not be deemed jurisdictional.
E. Technological Accommodations. The city will make reasonable efforts to accommodate interested parties who
lack necessary computer equipment or the ability to access such equipment by providing call-in or telephonic
access to the meeting. Interested parties will be encouraged to submit written comments in advance of the
hearing, which comments will be made a part of the hearing record.
F. Hearing Procedures. Hearings are for conducting the business of the City of Boulder. Activities that disrupt, delay
or otherwise interfere with the meeting are prohibited. At the onset of the hearing, the board chair will describe the
hearing procedures, including how testimony and public comment will be received. The department that supports
the Board will moderate the electronic meeting. To the extent practical, any person that wants to attend the
meeting will be added to the meeting and will be muted. Any person that wants to testify should inform the
moderator. The moderator will unmute such person during the public hearing to testify for three minutes.
1. Any documentary evidence will be provided to the designated secretary of the Board via email at least 48
hours prior to the beginning of the meeting. Documentary evidence includes, without limitation, materials
related to specific applications and other documents to be shown electronically during the hearing.
2. Any person testifying, including the applicant, shall be sworn in individually.
3. The applicant will be allowed to speak to its application for 10 minutes. City staff will be allowed to speak
to its recommendations for 10 minutes. The applicant or staff may request additional time from the board
chair for more complicated applications. Persons wishing to testify will be allowed up to three minutes to
speak. For electronic hearings, every person will need to testify for themselves. No pooling of time will be
allowed.
4. The time for speaking or asking questions is limited to facilitate the purpose of the hearing. No person shall
speak except when recognized by the person presiding and no person shall speak for longer than the time
allotted. Each person shall register to speak at the meeting using that person’s real name. Any person
believed to be using a pseudonym will not be permitted to speak.
5. No video participation will be permitted except for city officials, employees and invited speakers. All others
will participate by voice only.
6. The person presiding at the meeting shall enforce these rules by muting anyone who violates any rule.
7. Board members, staff, and applicants shall not use chat features of electronic meeting software except for
the purpose of asking the board chair procedural questions or to request to be recognized by the board
chair to speak.
8. Applicants will be provided the opportunity to speak for up to three minutes prior to the close of the public
hearing.
9. In order to accurately record board member votes, the board chair will call for a roll call vote on any
motions made during the hearing or taking final action.
G. Record. The secretary of the Board will ensure that all equipment used for the hearing is adequate and functional
for allowing clear communication among the participants and for creating a record of the hearing as required by
law; provided, however, the secretary will not be responsible for resolving any technical difficulties incurred by any
person participating in the hearing.

Historic Places Plan
Parks and Recreation department’s (BPR/department) Historic Places Plan (HiPP) will serve as a
planning document and guide for the department’s stewardship of twelve culturally relevant and
historically designated resources that are both owned and managed by BPR. The outcomes of
the final plan will ensure each site’s vibrant integrity and preservation within the
community. The intent of this agenda item for LB is to provide background information and
updates for awareness on plan development to-date and next steps.
The results of the current planning process will fill gaps in information required to align each
resource/site with specific strategies, initiatives, overlapping planning processes and funding
opportunities. Further, HiPP will integrate with the concurrent BPR Master Plan Update as
strategies and initiatives are developed for historic properties, outlined in the final HiPP. These
priorities will allow staff to prioritize future financial needs and data-driven decision making. As
an example, for the Glen Huntington Bandshell and Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall, work
developed through the HiPP may assist in future decisions at each site, should park
improvements be funded in November through the Community Culture & Safety tax/ballot
measure.
Resources addressed in this process are historically designated at a variety of levels including
City of Boulder landmark status, State Register of Historic Properties, National Register of
Historic Places, and a National Historic Landmark. The twelve sites are grouped under the
following four categories:
Historic Districts:
o Chautauqua Park, 900 Baseline Rd.
o Columbia Cemetery, 1201 9th St.
o Downtown Boulder-Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall, 1100-1400 blocks of
Pearl Street
Buildings/Structures
o Harbeck- Bergheim House, 1206 Euclid Ave.
o Glen Huntington Bandshell, 1236 Canyon Blvd.
o Fire Station No. 02, 1010 Aurora Ave.
o Roney Farmhouse, 5172 Valmont Rd.
o Platt Farmhouse, 3160 Airport Rd, (relocated)
Rolling Stock:
o Colorado & Northwestern Railroad Locomotive No. 30
o Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Caboose No. 04990
o Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Coach No. 280
Archeological Site:
o Boyd Smelter Site, 3rd and Canyon Blvd.
Background & Project Goals
MATTERS - Historic Places Plan (HiPP)
Page 1 of 7
In March of 2019, BPR applied for a survey and planning grant from History Colorado, State
Historical Fund (HC-SHF), to develop this plan. In August of 2019, the department was
awarded the full funding request of $190,000 from HC-SHF, with a cash match of $77,000 for a
total project budget at $267,000. Following a competitive bidding process, staff selected
Mundus Bishop (Landscape Architecture) as the lead consultant with additional contributions
by Ratio/HP (Architectural), JVA, Inc., (Structural Engineering)
and PaleoWest (Archeological). Each consulting team demonstrates an interdisciplinary
approach to historic and cultural resource planning.
Goals of this project include:
A. Integrate all relevant plans and analyses completed prior to the grant award, and
all survey and planning work funded as part of this project, into one concise planning
document, including those done to inform capital decisions, programs, and
operations.
B. Separate, define, and integrate Historical & Cultural resources across a variety of
departmental practices to balance levels of service, operations and maintenance,
financial sustainability, and program quality.
C. Begin with the end in mind to inform data-driven decision making.
D. Utilize the final plan to serve as a guiding document for departmental staff to rely
on and revisit when engaging in decision making for work related to any of the
twelve designated resources.
As outlined, the HiPP will dovetail with the BPR Master Plan update. In addition to this
departmental guiding document, the HiPP also supports goals and objectives in two other
plans: one city-wide plan and one countywide plan. Specifically, this project supports the
objective listed in the City-wide Historic Preservation Plan to, "Ensure the City of Boulder
remains a leader in historic preservation through the careful stewardship of its own historic
resources and encouragement of the innovative and collaborative approaches to historic
preservation." And it supports the county-wide goal within the Boulder Valley Comprehensive
Plan to address, "Community Conservation & Preservation" through "Leadership in
Preservation: City & County Owned Resources".
Project Phases, Timeline & Community Engagement
The project will be developed over five main phases led by the consultant and core team, with
stakeholders providing feedback in phase one through three and subject matter
recommendations for consideration through phase four and five. Each phase and the project
timeline are informed by, and align with, the BPR master plan update. Staff are partially
complete with phase four with major key project deliverables for phase one through three
presented in the draft ‘Existing Conditions and Historical Contexts’ document, which includes
staff and grantor comments, and can be viewed here. An overview of each phase is presented
below.
MATTERS - Historic Places Plan (HiPP)

here. Three core
engagement goals with underlying objectives will be addressed across three engagement
windows and span the city‘s engagement spectrum from input to collaboration. Each goal is
being explored at key touch points with major milestones for the following engagement
participants in the HiPP’s planning and decision-making process:
o Broader Public – the HiPP is utilizing opportunities to connect with a wide-range
of community members through Master Plan Update engagement touch points
including open houses, awareness at public park openings and in person/digital
surveys.
o Subject Matter Stakeholders – a group of eight stakeholders are participating in
targeted engagement, which is a key component of public outreach for the HiPP. The
group is comprised of community members with technical and subject matter
expertise. The full list of stakeholders is provided in the project charter, linked above.
o City Staff – in addition to the BPR project core team, staff across BPR’s Urban
Parks and Community Building divisions provide input and feedback on their
respective fields. Additional city staff from Planning &
MATTERS - Historic Places Plan (HiPP)
Page 4 of 7
Development Services Historic Preservation division and the Public
Works Facilitates division provide valuable contributions to this project.
o State Staff – the grantor (HC-SHF) provides two staff members that lead review
of this projects work products and provide financial oversight for project
budgeting. All draft project deliverables are reviewed for final grantor approval
following city staff and stakeholder review.
o City Boards & Commissions – two city boards provide administrative
review procedures for the HiPP. PRAB will review regular milestones and key
planning developments, while discussing and considering support of the draft plan
and approval of the final plan. Landmarks Board will receive
a consolidated update on milestones and project developments while informally
considering support of the plan.
Engagement Window 1 (October 2020 – July 2021)
Secure technical community experts as project stakeholders following gathering of background
and assessment data in phase one through phase three. Solicit expert feedback and records from
a Stakeholder Group of industry experts, to close these information management gaps. Integrate
all relevant plans and analyses completed prior to the grant award, and all survey and planning
work funded as part of this project, into one concise planning document, including those done
to inform capital decisions, programs and operations.
Engagement Window 2 (August 2021 - December 2021)
Utilize feedback from the community, aligning outcomes of the public engagement process for
both the HIPP and the Master Plan update to help separate, define, and integrate Historical &
Cultural resources across a variety of departmental practices to balance levels of service,
operations and maintenance, financial sustainability, service excellence, and program quality.
Engagement Window 3 (January 2021 – May 2022)
Integrate all public input to form the draft plan and informed, data-driven decision making.
Current & Next Steps
As described above, phase one through phase three of the HiPP produced extensive
documentation on existing conditions and historical contexts for resources. One condition of the
grant requires staff to select a “sample” resource to address first, across each project phase.
Staff selected the Glen Huntington Bandshell as a sample. The charts and graphics provided
below highlight work completed for the Bandshell during phase one through three, and how
these inform BPR’s current and next steps for this site and all other resources.

Recommendations proposed for each resource align treatments that inform physical
alterations, regular operations and maintenance, community building and funding explorations.
Currently, consultants are completing treatment recommendations as staff aligns next steps for
maintenance/operations, community building and funding integration.
Treatment recommendations developed in phase four will not propose specific “options” or
“designs” for physical alterations, rather the project documents alignment and acceptance
of future planning, community building and operational work at each site. Specifically, for the
Bandshell and Pearl Street Pedestrian Mall, work developed through the HiPP may assist in
future decisions at each site, should park improvements be funded in November through the
Community Culture & Safety tax/ballot measure. As these resources are locally landmarked, any
exterior work to either site will go through the Landmark Alteration Certificate (LAC) review
processes required by our local Historic Preservation Ordinance. In addition to the charts and
diagrams highlighted above, consultants are developing renderings to help visually showcase

alignment of recommendations. A rendered sketch that highlights proposed treatments to the
Bandshell is provided below.
•
Currently BPR staff and consultants continue phase four work on remaining resources,
which utilize a similar approach as outlined above. Department staff will be posting
summaries of all work completed to-date on the HiPP webpage over the next two months.
Landmark Board members will be added to the email newsletter to receive updates on
when new information is added. The webpage includes a form at the bottom for
interested parties to sign up for the newsletter here.
Preservation staff will continue to receive HiPP updates from BPR staff and will utilize
this information to provide regular updates to LB. These updates under Matters will
follow those regularly presented to the PRAB. The Parks and Recreation department
intends to provide LB with a more in-depth discussion item in February 2022, following
the Item for Discussion for PRAB. Agenda item/s will cover all treatment
options developed by consultants for all BPR historic resources and will outline final plan
components for feedback. Finally, a draft plan is expected to be presented for final review
and consideration for approval by PRAB in Q2 of 2022.
