City Council and Planning Board will hold a joint public hearing to consider proposed policy, text and map changes to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) as part of the 2010 Major Update at 6:30 p.m. (or immediately following the Energy Roundtable) on Tuesday, May 24, in City Council Chambers.

The draft 2010 Major Update to the BVCP is available for review at www.bouldervalleycomplan.net.

After the public hearing, Planning Board will deliberate and take action on the BVCP. City Council will consider the adoption of the updated plan at its regular meeting on Tuesday, June 7. Adoption hearings with the Boulder County Planning Commission and Boulder County Commissioners will be held in July and August.

These adoption meetings are the culmination of more than a year’s worth of working with the community, advisory boards and City Council to revise and refine development priorities, standards and preservation for the Boulder Valley over the next five years.

The BVCP is a joint plan between the City of Boulder and Boulder County, providing shared land use decision‑making in the Boulder Valley. The plan sets a course for the future growth and development of the city and the lands just outside the city’s boundaries.
