Public Hearings: Boulder County Comprehensive Plan Updates

Description

Boulder County Commissioners Public Hearing (Virtual Meeting using Microsoft Teams – Publicly Accessible)
Item No. 1:
Community Planning & Permitting Department Docket BCCP-20-0001: Geologic Hazard Mapping-Related Amendments:
The Community Planning & Permitti/government/public-meetings/ng Department is updating the Geology Element of the BCCP to incorporate improved geologic hazard and constraint mapping that represents the best available data on a range of geologic hazard features present in the county. The mapping was prepared with grant funds following the 2013 extreme rain event. That event changed the landscape, making some areas more susceptible to geologic hazards, and it increased awareness of the importance of understanding the geologic hazards and constraints present in the county. The proposed geologic hazard and constraint mapping will help ensure that properties are developed in a manner that addresses those risks. Minor revisions to the Geology Element of the BCCP also include updates to the definitions and policy sections of the element and a new guidelines table and map for providing further guidance when reviewing development on properties with potential geologic hazards.
