Zoning Overview – 1120 & 1130 Alpine, Boulder, CO

The City of Boulder has implemented a new zoning initiative known as “Zoning for Affordable Housing,” aimed at encouraging higher-density, mixed-use developments that include affordable housing options. Under this updated framework, properties like 1120 & 1130 Alpine may now be eligible for increased development potential. Specifically, the allowable building height can increase from 3 stories to 5 stories, and residential density may increase from 40 units to up to 160 units, accommodating a broader range of unit sizes.

Additionally, the zoning allows for reduced parking requirements, with parking spaces offered separately (unbundled) from the residential units, supporting alternative transportation use and affordability. Developments under this zoning must include a small commercial space on the ground floor, enhancing the property's mixed-use potential.

A comparable example of this zoning approach is the nearby project at 1840–1844 Folsom Street, located within a BR-1 zone, which successfully utilized this framework to significantly increase density and add commercial space.
