Text: 70 Plaintiffs contend that they attempted on many occasions, from January 1998 forward, to obtain a copy of the General Plan Map. They claim they were finally provided a copy in February 2000. They assert, however, that this map is flawed and inaccurate and should not be viewed as an appropriate zoning map for the LUO. They further assert that defendants have failed to mark their properties in red on the General Plan map; that defendants clarified the LUO after claiming that it was already clear during the course of the prior litigation brought by plaintiffs; that Boulder has improperly classified their property as high-density residential; and that this zoning classification prohibits them from applying for commercial conditional use permits. They further assert that without a designated commercial zone in the town, they cannot relocate their businesses. 71 We agree with the district court's analysis. These claims should be exhausted administratively and/or pursued through appropriate zoning appeals and other measures, rather than being brought initially as § 1983 claims. Plaintiffs also failed to show that they attempted to apply for a conditional use permit. Thus, their claims appear to be unripe and/or premature.
