On July 5th, the Boulder County Commissioners heard a recommendation that he Boulder County Parks and Open Space Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) Policy be updated. Four primary revisions were suggested:

  1. The new document includes small, detailed changes specific to the new internal UAS Program;
  2. The new policy reduces teh permit application review period from a maximum of 30 days to 10 business days;
  3. Streamlining policies by removing procedural statements and saving them in a separate document; and
  4. Changing the final permit review approval authority from Boulder County parks and Open Space Director to the Resource Planning Manager.

On August 4th, the Boulder County Commissioners plan to hold a public hearing on proposed textual amendments to Article 19-500 (Marshall Fire 2021) and Article 4. These amendments are intended to provide an allowance for an Accessory Dwelling to be built as part of Marshall Fire recovery.
