The Boulder County Land Use Code applies to the unincorporated portions of Boulder County, not in incorporated cities and towns.

The Boulder County Planning Commission considered the proposed text amendment on March 15, 2023 and recommended approval of the docket with three additional changes to the text amendments. Following the Planning Commission hearing, the proposed text amendments were revised to 1) have the Floodway definition substantially match FEMA’s Floodway definition, 2) clarify building characteristics that will be considered when evaluating “low damage potential” for agricultural structures, and 3) lengthen the emergency work notification from 3 days to 7 days.
