Boulder County Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB)
HPAB is an advisory board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to provide guidance to the county on historic preservation issues. Its primary focus is to review structures and sites for historic significance and to review building or development plans which might affect these resources. HPAB also reviews landmark applications and must approve building plans which result in the alteration of an historic landmark.
Public Hearings/Meetings
Meetings are usually held the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room on the third floor of the County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder, Colorado.
- The next HPAB meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 27 at 6 p.m. in the Caribou Room, 2nd Floor of the Land Use Department, 2045 13th St., Boulder. View the meeting agenda and packet.
Each meeting is a public hearing and at the beginning of each meeting, anyone may address the Board with historic preservation concerns or questions.
Please Note: Occasionally, scheduling conflicts require that the HPAB meet at a different time and location. If you wish to attend a meeting, you may want to phone the Land Use Department at 303-441-3930 to verify the date, time, and location of the meeting.
