Boulder County Comprehensive Plan

The Boulder County Comprehensive Plan Turns 30!

Happy 30th Anniversary Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (1978-2008)!

Happy 30th Anniversary Boulder County Comprehensive Plan
(1978-2008)!
2008 marks the 30 Anniversary of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (BCCP), the advisory document for how development gets approved in unincorporated Boulder County. The BCCP was developed to respond to the widely accepted principle that the myriad of future land use decisions affecting the county's lands should be made in a coordinated and responsible manner.

Since the BCCPs initial adoption in 1978, the overall philosophy of the Plan has changed very little... Growth should be channeled to municipalities, agricultural lands should be protected, and preservation of our environmental and natural resources should be a high priority in making land use decisions.
