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 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.
