Virtual Public Meeting Proposed Land Use Code Updates in Docket DC-24-0004 , Jan. 16, 2025
Background
On October 29, 2024, Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting staff received authorization from the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to pursue text amendments to the Boulder County Land Use Code (the Code) in docket DC-24-0004 related to residential uses, specifically Article 4 Boarding House and Group Care or Foster Home use classifications, and any other related Articles and provisions necessary to integrate these changes.
Staff are proposing amendments to existing regulations in the Code to update the Boarding House and Group Care or Foster Home use classifications. The existing definitions for Boarding House and Group Care or Foster Home will benefit from updated and more precise language. For example, the definitions for these uses rely on the familial relationship of the individuals in the residence and the recent Code change related to residential occupancy makes these definitions obsolete. Staff plan to reevaluate the scope and purpose of the Boarding House and Group Care or Foster Home uses to ensure that they are effective and appropriate.
The anticipated timeline for this code update is as follows:
- Authorization: October 29, 2024
- Code development and outreach: November 2024 – January 2025
- Finalize draft text amendments: February 2025
- Planning Commission Public Hearing: March 2025
- Board of County Commissioners Public Hearing: April 2025
