principle activity) are prohibited. [Zoning Regulations of Alcoholic Beverages in Title 9 of the
Boulder Revised Code].
It is my opinion that the prevailing prohibition in the zoning code delivers value in protecting our
community and youth from negative consequences of co-locating establishment who sell
alcoholic beverages at retail for consumption on the premises as the principle activity near
schools or industrial zones.
I believe this potential land use code amendment would negatively impact the safety for
children in Boulder County schools and therefore respectfully request that no such
amendment be approved. Thank you.

To Whom it May Concern:
My husband Joseph and I (Melissa) are sending this communication to voice our concerns on
building a Brewery/Restaurant on the land across the street from Boulder Country Day school.
The concern is not the project itself but where it will be located.
This location is an already congested area and parking is limited both in BCD lot itself and on
the street. There are many other businesses surrounding the area which bring in traffic as well
and the speed of their travel through that area at times is aggressive. When parked on the street
we are very aware and careful when opening our car doors and unloading our children that cars
can come around those curves at any speed and might not see us.
That being said we understand that the Brewery/Restaurant is to be a large facility and would
bring in potential hundreds of extra vehicle in that area including supply trucks, garbage trucks
etc. This in our opinion raises the street safety concern to a high level and adding alcohol to that
mix can have a bigger impact.
From what we understand there is a request/recommendation into the City Council to amend the
Land Use Code to better accommodate the food service restrictions in the brewery, distillery and
winery industries in Boulder. This could potential impact other school or daycare facilities in
Boulder that have vacant land in their surrounds as well, so we are speaking out for them as well
(generically speaking).
