The Boulder City Zoning Board at its Dec. 2 meeting discussed a number of potential changes to current zoning ordinances, including creating a commercial district along Main Street, abandoning formal lot size requirements for new construction, fencing restrictions, and a more streamlined process for evaluating conditional-use permit applications.
“We’re really close to having a full draft for your new zoning regulations,” said Great West Senior Planner Jerry Grebenc, who is advising the Zoning Board on its zoning update effort. “We don’t want three story office buildings built right up to the property line across the street from single family homes, but we also want to make sure that administrating the zoning isn’t too difficult.”
Grebenc suggested that the Zoning Board create a half-block wide downtown commercial district, stretching along MT-69 from Jefferson High School to the Boulder Town Hall, that would make Boulder’s existing Main Street construction compliant to city code despite proposed changes.
