Boulder County Comprehensive Plan

The Boulder County Comprehensive Plan is Available for Free PDF Download Now!

The Boulder County Comprehensive Plan (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 its initial adoption in 1978, the overall philosophy of the BCCP 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.

The Land Use Department also has printed copies of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan available for purchase at the Land Use Department Office located at the following address:
