Historic Preservation Ordinance
Boulder Revised Code Section 9-11 The Historic Preservation Ordinance has four areas of focus:
In the early 1970's, Boulder residents saw the demolition of a number of important structures and formed a grassroots effort to protect the city’s abundant historic resources. Out of this effort rose the urgency for a legal mechanism for evaluating and preserving historic sites. In 1974, the Boulder Historic Preservation Ordinance was passed. With the City Council adoption of the code, Boulder became one of the first cities in Colorado with the authority to designate historical, architectural or cultural resources considered valuable to the community as a whole and to prevent the demolition or destruction of such resources. Today, Boulder has an impressive supply of architectural and historic resources from its early history. This historic character- from neighborhoods with intact late 19th-century/early 20th-century buildings to scattered individual landmarks- is part of what defines Boulder’s unique quality of place and charm.
