What is the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan?

A comprehensive plan is a document that guides how our community will look and feel, the transportation networks that connect us and how we face changes to our natural and built environments for years to come.

The BVCP was first adopted in 1977 and is intended to guide long range planning and policies to meet the Boulder Valley community’s vision and goals for the next 20 years. The plan undergoes a major update every 10 years, with mid-term updates in between. The BVCP has shaped the Boulder Valley for the past five decades, and we invite everyone in the community to help us shape the next 20 years.

What Area is Included in The Plan?

The planning area encompasses the Boulder Valley, which is generally defined as those areas bounded by the mountain backdrop on the west, 95th Street on the east, Davidson Mesa and the Coal Creek drainage on the southeast, the south county line on the south, Mineral Road on the northeast and Neva Road and Niwot Road on the north. The plan includes the City of Boulder and portions of unincorporated Boulder County surrounding the city. The current boundaries of the planning area are as shown below on the map.
