Responses to all referrals will be based upon the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, including all applicable policies, maps, and implementation documents, and applicable codes, agreements, ordinances, and resolutions of the respective jurisdictions.

All referral requests and responses of departments of the city and the county will be received, reviewed and communicated through the respective planning departments, with the understanding that referral responses may be reviewed by the Planning Board or Planning Commission and/or the City Council or Board of County Commissioners at the referee’s discretion.

Complete referral responses will be made promptly. The referrer will consider all referral responses or the fact that there have been no responses before proceeding with the activity proposed.

The city will not grant or deny applications for out-of-city water and sewer permits for development activities in Area II unless it has first received a referral response from the county.
