The City Council designated part of the Grandview neighborhood a historic district earlier this month. The move came under immediate fire from CU officials, who said the university isn't bound by local property designations. Boulder Mayor Will Toor has said only two or three City Council members would support an agreement without more historic preservation in the area. Redevelopment of the neighborhood must provide 550,000 square feet of academic area. Fewer parking spaces may be considered if the city commits to funding mass transit services that will service the northwest quadrant of campus and Grandview Terrace.
Historic preservation is recognized as a city priority.
