Public Meeting: Docket BCCP-18-0003 Boulder County Comprehensive Plan Public Health Element Addition

Description

Public Meeting: Docket BCCP-18-0003 Boulder County Comprehensive Plan Public Health Element Addition
In December 2017 Planning Commission expressed support for work toward developing a new Public Health element for the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (BCCP), and Public Health and Land Use staff are working collaboratively to shape the new element. The purpose of this element is to outline the county’s vision and values for the health of all county residents. These goals and policies will guide regulations, funding requests and program development by the county. This new element will assemble all public health-related BCCP content in one place while expanding the scope of topics previously addressed. The new public health element will explicitly link the built and natural environment and the health of residents and establish a policy framework for supporting long-term strategies that impact behavior to enhance health outcomes. Draft content reflects feedback from a Planning Commission study session in December 2018. No Public Testimony Will Be Taken.
ACTION REQUESTED: Information item only.
