04-28-26 Planning Board Meeting

The City of Boulder Planning Board held a meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily focused on the public hearing and site review for the redevelopment of 777 Broadway. The project proposes demolishing an existing residential building to construct a new 63-unit high-density residential development with a height modification up to 55 feet. The board reviewed detailed plans including building massing, open space, pedestrian and bicycle access, parking provisions, and transportation demand management strategies. The applicant team presented design iterations addressing prior feedback, including enhanced pedestrian access, increased bike parking, and varied building heights. Public comments raised concerns about parking, construction impacts, and energy efficiency. After deliberation, the board unanimously approved the site review application with conditions, finding it consistent with city policies and criteria. The meeting also included discussions on planning board retreat topics and scheduling.
