The OP mentioned doing a "long term rental with AirBnb add-on".

I had a similar plan in Boulder, but based on conversations I've had personally with Boulder city planning department, that is not allowed within the same property. 

You apply for either a long-term or short-term rental license, and you can only  hold one type of license at any given time.  You need to pick one. Of course if you want to switch to different license type, you have to go through the whole application process again, and pay applicable fees.

I believe this is governed by the accessory dwelling unit ordinance which was revised recently. 

To add a little local color ... looking north toward Longmont, Erie, etc  can be a good idea ... however the morning commute from Longmont area toward Boulder (and evening commute from Boulder to Longmont) can be brutal esp on the Diagonal highway, for instance.  If considering living north, recommend researching (and actually driving your future commute at your commute time) in advance.  Just something to consider.  If you work in Louisville and live in Erie you might be able to commute on back roads, but again do your commute research in advance, could impact your lifestyle.
