It also extends restrictions in non-exempt areas from May 31 to Aug. 31 to allow staff more time to craft Boulder’s new “community benefit” ordinance, which will codify ways developers can side-step height restrictions in exchange for certain other concessions. ....
moved smoothly through steps in Boulder’s city approval process Tuesday evening when the Boulder City Council declined to call up any of the proposals for additional scrutiny. As a result, the Waterview apartment project is poised to begin the final construction permitting process, while elements of the hotel and Ball projects, both in earlier phases of the approval pipeline, will come back before city officials prior to groundbreaking.
