Key changes include new stormwater management requirements, updated landscape standards, enhanced wildfire mitigation provisions, and expanded public notification procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Funding of $214,000 for this initiative comes from a combination of federal grants, state matching funds, and the Boulder County General Fund. The Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation during the 2024 budget session.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado state law requires all counties to provide these services to eligible residents. Boulder County exceeds minimum state requirements by offering expanded hours, multilingual support, and online access. In 2024, the county received a state award for excellence in service delivery.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Information<\/h3>\n<p>A community information session will be held at the Gunbarrel library on Friday, May 15 at 5:00 PM. Translation services in Spanish and Nepali will be available. The session will also be livestreamed on the Boulder County YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>For questions about this program, contact Rachel Stein at Assessor&#8217;s Office: (303) 441-5535 or email Assessor&#8217;s Office@bouldercounty.gov. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Gunbarrel office without an appointment.<\/p>\n<h3>Community Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Data from the 2024 Boulder County Community Survey shows that 20% of respondents rated this service as &#8220;important&#8221; or &#8220;very important.&#8221; The survey, conducted every two years, received 5,318 responses from residents across the county.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation access remains a key concern. Boulder County&#8217;s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Gunbarrel and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boulder County Community Planning &amp; Permitting Department has proposed comprehensive updates to the Land Use Code&#8217;s site plan review process.
