Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd reported Boulder County requested the City consider an amendment to the US 36 Corridor Comprehensive Development Plan Intergovernmental Agreement. The amendment would permit the transfer of development rights for three dwelling units on a parcel located on the north side of South Boulder Road in unincorporated Boulder County, west of Louisville, to a parcel on the south side of south Boulder Road. The proposal would preserve approximately 105 acres of open space land with a conservation easement granted to Boulder and Boulder County. She explained the property is located within the Rural Preservation Area under the US 36 Corridor CDP IGA and are within the area of influence of the City of Louisville. The City of Boulder will consider the IGA amendment on September 16, and the Town of Superior has scheduled consideration at its next meeting. She noted the first line of the agreement states that Louisville is a Colorado Statutory City. The Boulder County Attorney's office will change the agreement to reflect that Louisville is a Home Rule City. She introduced Pete Fogg of the Boulder County Land Use Department, who would address Council questions. Pete Fogg stated amendment to the US 36 IGA, addresses property within unincorporated Boulder County. He explained the original application was received in 2000. A similar proposal was received in 2003, which includes 5 units on the south of South Boulder Road, and three units transferred from the north side of South Boulder Road. The County Commissions have requested the parties in the IGA consider an amendment to the US 36 Corridor Comprehensive Development Plan. He noted the City of Boulder's Planner has recommended denial of the amendment to the IGA. The County Commissioners will wait for the City of Louisville and the Town of Superior's decision before taking any action on the application.
