Subscribe to project e-mail list (choose "Junior Academy News" from the drop down list) Project Introduction
The objective of the Junior Academy Area Planning Project is to develop a concise area plan that will address comprehensive plan land use designations, zoning, housing types, massing, access and circulation patterns for the property located 2641 Fourth Street. This project was initiated to address City Council's desire that there be a process for community input when sites within the city that have been used historically for public or semi-public uses such as schools and churches are sold and redeveloped. The goal of the project is to address the concerns and objectives of the city, landowners, and neighbors pertaining to the site and its futures uses. The plan will be adopted by the Planning Board and City Council and will provide guidance for the review of plans submitted by the landowners.
The site, formerly the location of the Boulder Junior Academy, was owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The site is 5.84 acres in size, and is located south of Dakota Place, west of 4th Street, and north of the Mapleton Medical Center and surrounding medical offices. The north half of the site is designated Low Density Residential and the south half is designated Public on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) Land Use Map. The current zoning is not consistent with the BVCP land use designations, with the western 130 feet of the property zoned Public and the rest of the property zoned Low Density Residential (RL-1).
