The City of Boulder Planning Board held a meeting on September 15, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and recommending the 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and considering a rezoning and site review application for the redevelopment of the Naropa University campus. The CIP discussion included a detailed presentation of the $827 million six-year plan supporting 228 capital projects, emphasizing alignment with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan and community values such as safety, sustainability, and livability. The board recommended approval of the CIP with unanimous support, including removing the Violet Avenue Bridge Replacement Project from the list of projects requiring a community and environmental assessment process (SEEP). Additional motions addressed concerns about specific projects, including recommending a study of the glider runway safety and opposing a SEEP for Fire Station Number 2. The board also unanimously approved the rezoning of approximately 3.72 acres of land at 2106 and 2130 Arapahoe Avenue from public to Residential High 5 (RH5) zoning and approved the site review application for redevelopment with 135 residential units, noting preservation of historic trees and compatibility with the comprehensive plan. The meeting concluded with informational items and scheduling updates.
