No, there is no requirement to change anything on your property as a result of the code update.

If your property is identified as a FBC area in the Appendix L map of the Boulder Revised Code, then FBC applies.

If you have a previously approved Site Review or a Planned Unit Development (PUD), your approved application is still in effect and FBC does not apply. Changes to these properties will be reviewed through the Site Review Amendment process. You may still choose to ‘opt-in’ and redevelop your property under the FBC Review process by rescinding the previous approval.
