Market Growth & Developments
Market Study
Longmont Downtown Development Authority
(LDDA)
Quality of life is maintained through development
standards that balance the needs of the residential,
industrial and commercial sectors. The downtown along
Main Street, once nearly dead during the 1980s, has
seen a vibrant revival in the last decade, and into the
turn of the century. In the mid 1990s, the south edge of
the city became the location of the first New Urbanist
project in Colorado, called Prospect New Town, designed
by renowned architects Andres Duany and Elizabeth
Plater-Zyberk.
Assuming that the City can capture a portion of existing
outflow as well as accounting for population growth, there
is potential for an additional 1.2 million square feet of
retail development by 2025.
NewMark Merrill Mountain States purchased the Twin
Peaks Mall, off Colorado Highway 119 and Hover
Road, for $8.5 million in February 2012. The company,
plans between $25 million and $50 million of capital
improvements to the mall, originally built in 1985.
Downtown Longmont offers an authentic local vibe
with historic charm, diverse businesses and emerging
improvements. An estimated $2,498,200 of public capital
improvements were planned to be made to the downtown
area in 2011.
Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan
The Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan (LACP) guides
the City of Longmont’s actions concerning its future
growth, land use philosophies, and development. The
LACP provides the framework used in evaluating key
issues facing the City including topics such as growth,
land use, urban design, housing, transportation, parks,
and open space.
The LDDA offers business and property owners several
programs to support the maintenance and improvement
of the historic buildings in the Downtown Longmont
District. The LDDA Board designated $1.1 million
dollars in incentives to go toward the areas of Arts and
Entertainment, Alleyscape Improvements, Second floor
Residential and Retail.
The City’s relationship with Boulder and Weld Counties
is especially noteworthy in the context of the LACP.
Longmont and Boulder County have an intergovernmental
agreement in place to address cooperative planning
efforts in planning areas. The City and Weld County also
have an intergovernmental agreement for areas east of
the City limits (including Union Reservoir) that addresses
land use, transportation, annexation and service issues.
This intergovernmental agreement establishes the extent
of Longmont’s urban growth area in Weld County— the
Coordinated Planning Area.
Longs Peak and Main LLC, a company led by Longmont
developer Cotton Burden, has plans to build a four-story,
115-unit building at the corner of Main Street and Longs
Peak Avenue in downtown Longmont. The building
would have first-floor retail space and provide renters the
chance to live in a highly walkable downtown. The project
would cost about $20 million to build, and the Burdens
are seeking support from Longmont to help pay the cost
for the parking garage and exterior features. The project
recently received support from the Longmont Downtown
Development Authority, but terms of a development
assistance package still are being worked out.
After a prolonged discussion, the City Council decided not
to embark upon a full revision to the LACP in 2012. The
Council agreed to keep the current practice of amending
the plan as needed.
First and Main Station
The First and Main Station revitalization project aims to
draw new development to the area, both commercial
and residential, as well as improve community use and
access to businesses, greenways and public spaces.
Centered in the heart of Longmont at the intersection of
First Avenue and Main Street, across from the former

Latino businesses in Longmont, Lafayette and Boulder;
and for technical workshops through the Small Business
Development Center.

Overview
CIty of Boulder Snapshot
The City of Boulder has an amazing collection of bike
paths and designated lanes that allow you to go just
about anywhere in Boulder. In fact, the City of Boulder is
one of only three cities to be awarded the Platinum level
Bicycle Friendly Community status by the prestigious
League of American Bicyclists. The platinum designation
is the highest honor a community can receive. Many
Boulderites bike or use public transportation to get around
the city. Very pedestrian friendly, pedestrians have the
right of way.
In 2011, Boulder Municipal Airport experienced economic
improvement. Fuel sales increased by approximately
7,000 gallons and hangar occupancy remained above 95
percent. In addition, the airport welcomed Independent
Skydive Company and Free Bird Coffee Bar to its growing
list of companies that call the airport home.
Denver International Airport (DIA)
Denver International Airport (DIA) is the most important
intermodal transfer point in the region, serving as a
gateway for air passenger traffic, air, and truck freight
operations to national and international markets and
destinations. Situated on 34,000 acres or 53 square
miles, DIA has four north-south runways and two eastwest runways. It has non-stop service to more than 120
cities, including London and Frankfurt.
• Today, people in Boulder ride the bus at twice the
national average,walk three times as much and
bicycle at 21 times the national average.
• In February 2010, transit ridership peaked at nearly
37,000 daily trips.
• About 95 percent of Boulder’s arterial streets
accommodate bicyclists.
• Eco Pass holders are five to nine times more likely
to use transit than those without a pass.
DIA’s efficient airfield and its 39-acre cargo ramp make
freight handling easy, the airfield’s prime cargo asset
is the absence of operational curfews. The airport’s
dedicated cargo carriers and integrators—FedEx, UPS,
DHL, and Integrated Airline Services—are in three
buildings at the south side of the airfield. Nearby is the
U.S. Postal Service and United Airlines’ cargo facility.
West of the airport’s freight operations is WorldPort
at DIA. Two 50,000-square-foot buildings offer space
for freight forwarders, customs brokers, and other
businesses that contribute to an efficient air cargo
operation in Denver. A portion of this area is a Foreign
Trade Zone. Within 20 miles of the airport are 50 freight
forwarders and customs brokers.
• In 2011, 69,425 people who live, work or study in
Boulder had access to Eco Passes.
Transportation Master Plan
In September 2011, the Transportation Department
Planning Team completed the second phase of the
master planning effort for the Transportation Master
Plan (TMP)— the TMP will be Boulder County’s firstever long-range multimodal transportation plan. Draft
recommendations that address key long-term issues
and needs for Boulder County’s transportation system,
include:
• Accessibility programs that Boulder County could
implement to increase people’s ability to use the
transportation system;
• Travel Demand Management programs that
Boulder County could implement to decrease Single
Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) travel and encourage
travel in other ways;
• Transportation improvements that Boulder County
and its partners could make to SH 119 Diagonal, SH
7 (Arapahoe/Baseline), and other travel corridors to
facilitate travel throughout Boulder County and the
surrounding region
Public release of the draft plan is currently anticipated for
early summer 2012.

Tourism
According to Longmont Area Visitors Association’s
(LAVA), tourism supported nearly 5,160 jobs in Longmont
in 2010. Longmont realized $398.9M of tourism related
economic impact in 2010. Ninety percent of LAVA’s
budget comes from the city’s lodging tax, which is a 2
percent charge on the price of every hotel, motel and bed
and breakfast room in the city. The organization’s budget
for 2012 is projected to be about $250,000.
Since 1985, Longmont Council for the Arts (LCA) has
brought quality cultural and artistic programs to Longmont
and the St. Vrain Valley. The LCA provides an array
of services to artists and cultural arts organizations,
including administrative support, grant writing services,
fundraising, marketing and promotion, education and
community outreach. LCA programs include all of the
major arts disciplines: visual arts, performing arts, literary
arts and art education. Some of the LCA’s programs
have matured into independent non-profit organizations.
For example, Art in Public Places is now run by the
City of Longmont; ArtWalk was originated by the LCA
and later adopted by the Old Firehouse Arts Center. In
a collaborative effort with The Art Studio, Inc., the LCA
developed the Old Firehouse Art Center.
The state’s tourism office cites that there are more
microbreweries per capita in Colorado than in any other
state. Two of Colorado’s premier breweries are located
in Longmont: the Left Hand Brewing Co. and the Oskar
Blues Brewery. Left Hand Brewery hosts weekend tours
and group tours by appointment. The brewery also offers
a tasting room. Oskar Blues Brewery is known for its
canned microbrews such as Dale’s Pale Ale and Old
Chub. It offers weekend tours and runs the Tasty Weasel

The City hosts a myriad of culturally inclusive
community gatherings and events to help solidify
community connections. In partnership with the City, the
Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA)
provides concerts downtown, ArtWalk festivals, Taste of
Longmont, Cinco de Mayo, Oktoberfest, Pumpkin Pie
Days, El Dia de Los Muertos Celebration, Rhythm on the
River, Festival on Main (with an estimated attendance
of over 18,000 people), and holiday festivities from
a downtown tree lighting to the premier event—the
holiday parade down Main Street. In 2011, the Longmont
Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) formally
established the downtown Arts & Entertainment District
and completed a Downtown Strategic Plan. LDDA aims to
guide the activities of the downtown, creating additional
focus in the community as well as additional “feet on Main
Street.”
It is through the Arts and Entertainment District Plan
and the Downtown Strategic Plan that economic vitality
will be enhanced by strengthening the retail tenant
mix and adding urban housing – apartments, lofts
and condominiums. Numerous small, well-connected
public and private spaces will be developed highlighting
Longmont’s historic character, multicultural diversity and
authenticity; these will add opportunities for increased
activities, uses, events and socializing. Downtown
Longmont was one of five districts around the state
recently designated a Prospective Creative District,
an honor from the governor’s office that includes a
proclamation and an $8,000 check.
A Thriving Community
Longmont has a wonderful feeling of community. Over
the past five years, Longmont has conducted hundreds
of community involvement processes, from the City Line
and the new Longmont Life newsletters to the all day
summits on environment and education to communitybased strategic planning. Within the next 8-10 years,
this city will reach the build-out of its planned residential
area. As the community reaches build-out, the revenues
associated with growth will decline. In order to preserve
the amenities our City provides and continue to improve
upon the quality of life, the community came together
to develop strategic policy directions for the future.
Focus on Longmont is a community-wide discussion
project to develop widely-supported strategic policies
that, if implemented, will help Longmont remain a distinct
community with adequate resources to sustain the kind
of life residents want to enjoy for decades and for future
generations. (Source: Longmont Area Economic Council,

some open year-around and some for summer fun
offering swimming, games, wall climbing and first-rate
gym facilities..The Recreation Division provides hundreds
of programs and classes for youth, and also provides
scholarships to increase access to those of lower
incomes. In 2010, over 825,000 visits were made to all of
the recreation facilities in the City and over $50,000 was
given in scholarship money to various programs for youth.
Open Space, Parks, & Trails
Longmont’s city’s trees, parks, mountain views, open
space, and its trail system constitute a major community
asset. The city boasts 1,500 acres of parks and open
space, including Sandstone Ranch, an award-winning
sports and play park facility. In addition to the open space,
Longmont residents enjoy 2.37 acres of neighborhood
parks per 1000 residents.

to the University of Colorado, major research facilities,
visionary entrepreneurs, and one of the nation’s most
educated populations. Boulder offers a sunny, temperate
climate, scenic beauty, limitless recreational opportunities,
and a healthy lifestyle. With over 45,000 acres of open
space and more than 200 miles of public biking and
hiking trails recreational opportunities abound. Add in
excellent schools, a broad range of dining, shopping and
entertainment options and you see why businesses here
find it easy to attract and keep top talent.
Boulder has a long history of supporting healthy lifestyles
and is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s
healthiest places to live. In addition to being an athlete’s
dream town, Boulder has a high concentration of natural

its north end, passing through small mountain towns en
route to Boulder. It is a scenic drive between Boulder and
Rocky Mountain National Park.
The Daily Camera described in its August 4, 1905 edition
how the Boulder Commercial Association was organized
to be the main business center in Boulder County, and the
place tourists chose to visit. “Boulder must wake up and
profit, as other cities have done, by telling people how
this is the place to live,” announced the leadership of the
organization that was to become the Boulder Chamber.
Open Space, Parks, & Trails
Boulder County, Colorado has no less than ten distinct
programs targeted toward protecting recreational open
space and productive ranchland.
Residential
The City has a long history with residential growth control.
The rate of residential growth, whether the perception
is that there is too much or not enough, has long been
an issue in Boulder. From the Zero Population Growth
initiative and the Danish Plan in 1970’s to the more
streamlined residential rate control based upon a simple
prorated “sharing” of available building permit allocations
on the books today, Boulder has experimented with
many regulatory techniques to slow the rate of residential
growth.
