Authorization
On March 3, 2026, the Boulder County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) authorized Community Planning & Permitting staff to explore whether updates to the Boulder County Land Use Code (the Code) could better support safe, practical, and appropriately scaled housing opportunities for agricultural workers.
As part of that authorization, the BOCC directed staff to return for a public work session to further discuss the project scope, outreach approach, and timeline. Staff presented this information during a public work session on May 5, 2026, and received feedback from the Commissioners on questions and considerations they want incorporated into the project’s scope of work and public engagement process. As part of this potential update, staff will focus on adjusting uses in existing zoning districts pertaining to agricultural worker housing.
