What is the Community Planning Initiative?
Gold Hill has begun a Community Planning Initiative in response to Boulder County’s Townsite Planning Initiative process. This process is being offered to historic communities in Boulder County so that they can choose to take more control of their future in terms of County regulations such as land use planning and building codes and not be subject to County-level, one-size-fits-all planning guidelines and regulations. The opportunity is for Gold Hill to propose changes to the County’s Comprehensive Plan and/or to County Land Use Code regulations such as Site Plan Review, and BuildSmart (green building), transportation planning, and the historic zoning process. We can also have a greater influence on Parks and Open Space development in and around Gold Hill by participating in this process.
