Site Plan Review (SPR)
|
When is Site Plan Review (SPR) Required?
Site Plan Review is required in order to issue building
permits on any vacant parcels, for cumulative increases in floor
area of more than 1,000 sq ft (residential or nonresidential)
over that which existed on the parcel as of 9/8/98, for
cumulative increases in residential floor area which results in
a total residential floor area of a size greater than 125% of
the median residential floor area for the defined neighborhood
in which the subject parcel is located, and for changes in use
unless the change in use is to a residential use. SPR is also
required for grading permits (except for grading as part of
normal agricultural or mining practices), and Boulder County
access permits and floodplain development permits issued by the
Transportation Department.
SPR is also required for Telecommunications Facilities which are
located on an existing structure and meet the zoning districts
height limit (otherwise a Special Use is required), for all
development within a Natural Landmark or Natural Area, in a Rural
Community District, or on Conservation Easements held by Boulder
County, and for Wildlife Rehabilitation of more than 20 non-domestic
animals or with outdoor caging. |

the existing floor area by more than 1,000 square feet,

the resulting residential floor area is greater than 125% of
the median for the defined neighborhood.
- Construction of an accessory structure
which is less than 1,000 square feet (unless the cumulative
threshold above is exceeded, or if the property is in a Natural
