The Planning Commission is a public body, appointed by Boulder Town, to make recommendations on land use decisions related to the General Plan and on zoning and subdivision applications and to review and approve/disapprove Conditional Use Permit applications.

The Boulder Town Planning Commission meets the second Thursday of each month. Meetings start at 6 p.m. during Standard time; they start at 7 p.m. during Daylight Savings Time.

Boulder’s land use decisions are governed by the processes and procedures set forth in Title XV: Land Usage section of Boulder’s codified ordinances: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/boulderut/latest/boulder_ut/0-0-0-930 . Applicants preparing a land use plan should first familiarize themselves with the applicable ordinances before preparing a packet for the Planning Commission to consider. This simple step saves everyone a lot of time.

Applications are available online and electronic submittal of applications is encouraged. Submit all applications with attachments to the Zoning Administrator, April O’Neal (za@boulder.utah.gov)  at least 14 days prior to the next Planning Commission meeting.
