Public Meetings

Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Public Hearing – Docket DC-24-0005: Text Amendments to the Land Use Code Related to Exemption Plats, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, at 1 p.m.

Detailed meeting information, including how to attend or participate, can be found on the Community Planning and Permitting calendar event page.

Background

On December 17, 2024, staff received authorization from the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to pursue text amendments to the Boulder County Land Use Code (the Code) related to the Exemption Plat eligibility section, which define what applications may utilize the exemption plat process (Article 9-300.A). Specifically, there are two sections of the Code related to Exemption Plat eligibility (Sections 9-300.A.2 and 9-300.A.3) which include reference to subsection 9-100.A.7 that staff is recommending to be modified.

In updating these two sections (9-300.A.2 and 9-300.A.3), staff propose to change the reference to 9-100 which would allow any unsubdivided parcel meeting the definition of a Building Lot to apply for an Exemption Plat rather than limiting this option to Building Lots resulting from the circumstances specifically described in 9-100.A.7. This is a technical update to the Code that expands access to the Exemption Plat processes by removing an unnecessary limitation that is currently in place.
