06-03-26 Landmarks Board Meeting

The City of Boulder Landmarks Board held a meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily focused on historic preservation and development projects within the city. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of an extension for a landmark alteration certificate related to a residential property, allowing additional time for completion due to contractor issues. The board also reviewed and unanimously approved a landmark alteration certificate application to demolish a deteriorated accessory building at 1039 Mapleton Avenue, determining it did not contribute significantly to the historic district's character. Additionally, the board received a presentation from the Parks and Recreation Department on the East Bookend Public-Private Partnership (P3) project, which involves potential adaptive reuse and infill development of city-owned properties, including landmarked buildings, with an emphasis on community benefits such as arts, culture, and recreation. The P3 process includes an RFI and upcoming RFP to select a private development partner, with construction anticipated around 2029. The board was invited to provide informal input on the RFP process and the role of historic preservation in the development. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the discussion highlighted upcoming procurement opportunities related to the East Bookend development.
