Size is Such An Arbitrary Issue

The Boulder County Commissioners finally have a housing size limit plan endorsed by the planning commission—it’s just missing a cap for extreme-sized homes. The commission sent a final version calling for commissioners to curb the building of huge homes in unincorporated county. But the advisory panel wasn’t comfortable keeping the controversial size caps—most recently 3,500 square feet in the mountains, 5,500 in the plains. If commissioners want a cap, they’ll be approving it without backing from the planning commission.

What’s Next: Commissioners will discuss and/or act on the planning commission’s recommendation in March.
