Project Overview
The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (PDF) seeks to protect the natural environment of the Boulder Valley while fostering a livable, vibrant and sustainable community. The plan provides an overview of the community’s desires for future development and preservation of the Boulder Valley. The city and county use it to guide long-range planning.
The major update, kicking-off in October 2024, will be the eighth major update to the plan, celebrating 50 years since its adoption. The plan that includes the fundamental framework to focus growth within the city where services and infrastructure exist was first approved in 1977. Since then, major updates have been completed in 1982, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2017.
The updates give our community a chance to adjust the plan to reflect community values and needs, to address current challenges and to plan proactively for the future.
