land can be considered for annexation if it complies with the Colorado annexation statutes
with community benefits oftentimes an overriding factor is affordable housing and sometimes it's other things
so in 2015 when that plan was accepted that prompted staff to initiate the process through the comp plan
ultimately come to terms on an annex with an annexation agreement
to ensure that we don't run into water rights issues
the floodplains won't increase on the site due to the flood mitigation infrastructure or removal of the levee system
in exchange for providing our own water rights to deliver potable water to the site
so with the dry creek ditch number two water rights come into this sort of analysis
throughout the comp plan identified a potential location for a multimodal hub on the site
the general principles guiding principles in the comp plan
there can be no flood mitigation unless there's annexation
here's the purpose of this process is to find the condition of annexation for the parcel is Cu South
University of Colorado's potential South Campus we consider it already our South Campus
we do need to maintain it so we've already selected that at least we have to do that through the general fund
would divert resources from higher priority agricultural projects that are now before us
so with this option with this limited agricultural use option agricultural use to a small degree could be reestablished
on that property I guess it eventually could be agricultural
there's nothing that would rule out this site for a potential pilot project of carbon sequestration soil rejuvenation
try out a carbon sequestered a table meant with compost and see if you couldn't rebuild the sort
we included capital costs as well as what it would take to operate certain types of amenities
you said Oh we'll need bathrooms and it's right next to the rec center right
it's very difficult to secure it as permanently affordable housing
if we don't control the land we also don't control the infrastructure we don't control the costs of renting within a mobile home community
anywhere between five and ten acres is sort of the starting point for the size of a mobile home park
development in the hundred year flood plain for residential it requires that the lowest finished floor be elevated
the South Boulder Creek mitigation study that was adopted in 2015 looked at two potential opportunities in this area
this project is not in the six year CIP
if the council wanted to move towards designating the site the planning planning reserve
and the other thing to consider for putting it in the planning Reserve is that this can only be done during a major update
