Beginning January 1, 2022, the Town of Bennett Planning and Zoning Commission will serve as the Board of Adjustment. 

The Town Board of Trustees approved this change in a meeting on September 28, 2022. 

The Board of Adjustment hears and reviews appeals for any order, requirement, decision or determination made by an administrative official charged with enforcement of the provisions of Chapter 16 and to authorize variances from the terms of Chapter 16 subject to the criteria set forth in Section 16-2-360. 

At this time, the impacted municipalities and first responders cannot accept volunteers or donated goods. Managing these creates a dangerous distraction from crisis management.

Direct cash assistance to aid the emergency response and support the victims is most needed. Donations should be directed to: Community Foundation of Boulder - Boulder County Wildfire Fund
