Boulder Town, Utah Notice
Vacancies: Join the Boulder Town Planning Commission
Boulder Town is seeking applicants to fill two current vacancies on the Planning Commission.
Serving as a Planning Commissioner is an excellent way to learn about land use, receive essential training, and directly contribute to informed, well-researched decisions that guide the town’s growth and preservation.
What is the Planning Commission?
The Planning Commission plays a vital role in our local government by acting as an advisory board to the Town Council to review and make recommendations on matters related to land use, zoning, and development in accordance with the Boulder Town General Plan and the Utah Land Use, Development, and Management Act (LUDMA) (Utah Code Title 10, Chapter 9a).
Responsibilities of a Planning Commissioner
- Attend and actively participate in regular monthly meetings, as well as additional work meetings or training sessions as required.
- Collaborate with fellow Commissioners to arrive at fact-based, reasoned, and researched decisions on land-use matters:

- Maintain the technical skills necessary for the position, including:
- The ability to send/receive email and manage file attachments.
- Competence in using the internet and locating information within Boulder’s codified ordinances.
- The capability to connect to virtual meetings.
- Occasional travel to training or conferences may be offered to assist with professional development in compliance with LUDMA, though this is optional.
