CU South Annexation Draft Agreement to Be Released July 2021

The City of Boulder and the University of Colorado are in negotiations to annex the University of Colorado's South Campus, the "CU South" property. If annexed, CU South would come under the city's jurisdiction and utility services could be extended to the site. The city and CU team worked to develop the agreement to fulfill shared goals, mitigate future impacts and define community benefits.

This effort would support vital flood mitigation efforts in the area. A range of topics will be addressed in the annexation agreement including future uses (primarily housing), transportation, public access, development limitations and many others. A draft annexation agreement will be released in July 2021. Community members are encouraged to share feedback on the draft agreement once it is released.

The city invites community members to share feedback on key agreement topics through a BeHeardBoulder questionnaire, open through Aug. 13. We will also host a virtual community briefing and virtual listening session. The community briefing is scheduled for Friday, July 9 from 12 – 1:30 p.m. The listening session is scheduled for Wednesday, July 14 from 4 – 5:30 p.m. More information about the sessions and links to the meetings can be found on the project webpage. These sessions will be recorded and posted online for those unable to attend to view at their convenience. Other key dates include:

• July 12, Transportation Advisory Board feedback to council
• July 22, Planning Board, Public Hearing, recommendation to City Council
• Aug. 3, City Council, first reading
• Sept. 7, City Council, Public Hearing, second reading
