    In the Open Space Element of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan, passive recreation is defined, in part, as non-motorized.

Based on research and outreach results during the e-bike pilot, the Boulder County Commissioners made a policy decision to allow e-bikes on plains trails where conventional bikes are allowed. Staff will bring updated recommendations for amending the passive recreation definition based on the Planning Commission study session discussion and input from the Board of Commissioners.
    Action Requested: Decision
    Public testimony will be taken
    Staff Planners: Tina Nielsen

Staff recommendations will be posted to the docket webpages on December 11.
