4-2 Boulder County Land Use Code • February 25, 2021 <br />Article 4 • From the Forward to the Boulder County Zoning Resolution, February 4, 1944: <br />Article 4 • Zoning <br />From the Forward to the Boulder County Zoning Resolution, February 4, 1944: <br />A zoning ordinance imposes such reasonable limitations upon the right of a property owner to use his property as he <br />pleases, as may be determined by considerations of public health, safety, and welfare. But he may not use his property <br />as he pleases without regard for his neighbors, or the effect of his actions upon the welfare and prosperity of the whole <br />community of which he is a part. Nor is a zoning ordinance merely a temporary matter. It is an integral part of public <br />planning, which takes the long view. The use of land is a granted right, but the land itself remains long after individuals <br />who have exercised such rights have passed away. Rural zoning contemplates not only benefits in the present, but also <br />seeks to conserve our resources for future generations. <br />4-100 Zoning District Regulations <br />Zoning District Legend: <br />(A)Uses Permitted by Special Authorization of the Building Official (Article 2-500) <br />(I)Uses Permitted by Limited Impact Special Review (Article 3 and Article 4-600) <br />(L)Uses Permitted by Location & Extent Review (Article 8) <br />(R)Uses Permitted by Review of Areas and Activities of State Interest (Article 8) <br />(S)Uses Permitted by Special Review (Article 3 and Article 4-600) <br />(SPR)Uses Permitted by Site Plan Review (Article 4-800) <br />Note: The uses listed in each zoning district are listed with the review process acronyms as shown in the legend above. <br />Review processes are also triggered based on the intensity of the use, specific location of the development and extent <br />of physical development on the property.
