Seasonal wildlife closures may apply from December 15 through July 15 to protect nesting raptors and elk calving areas.<\/p>\n<p>Climate considerations are central to this effort. Boulder County&#8217;s 2025 Climate Action Plan sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 46% below 2005 levels by 2030. This project contributes to those goals through energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy integration, and reduced vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boulder County Community Planning &#038; Permitting Department has proposed comprehensive updates to the Land Use Code&#8217;s site plan review process.
