Boulder County, Colo. – An additional opportunity for the public to discuss possible designated shooting areas in Boulder County has been scheduled for Aug. 6 in Allenspark. Identifying possible designated shooting areas is a key element of the strategy of the Northern Front Range Recreational Sports Shooting Management Partnership (Partnership). All open house dates and locations are listed below:

What: Nederland Open House
When: Monday, July 20, 6-7:30 p.m.
Where: Nederland Community Center, 243 W. 4th Street, Nederland

What: Boulder Open House

What: Allenspark Open House
When: Thursday, Aug 6, 6-7:30 p.m.

The meetings will be open house-style with multiple stations set up for interested citizens to obtain information and provide comments. There will be no scheduled presentation, residents are welcome to come and go as they please.

A table with information about the preliminary criteria that was used to select the areas will be set up for attendees to view. There will also be a station which displays maps of possible designated shooting areas currently under consideration. For this first round of possibilities, the areas include:

  • Ruby Gulch
  • West Magnolia
  • Allenspark Dump (analysis and public involvement has been completed and is pending a decision)
  • Bunce School Road
  • Beaver Reservoir Road

In addition, the Boulder County Land Use Department will have a station to explain the process for amending the Land Use Code to include considerations of the appropriate size of a site, setbacks from neighboring properties, and health and safety protections. 

Staff members will be on hand to discuss the possible areas and comment cards will be available for residents to complete.
