I think the Ada is limit is eight percent now because I learned this today
rule making for the mobile home legislation that passed last year I believe there was an allowance for a

reduces the city's environmental impact so the foundational idea of this proposed change ultimately aligns with Boulder's economic social and environmental goals
I strongly recommend that Council heeds the concerns of the community to remove the provision requiring that new adus be architecturally consistent
I really want to encourage you to adopt and look at the planning board recommendations
whether it's eliminating a Victorian occupancy limit so someone like me could you know put three renters in my house

Community costs for not providing housing for having people remain unsheltered homeless is somewhere between Thirty to fifty thousand dollars per year per person
BHP had just received an additional 39 vouchers which is not on this list
we don't have a huge budget for that in the coming years we've tried this as part of the strategy
even in December which is extremely high utilization traditionally Boulder shelter for the Homeless was averaging 128 people per night
we were very purposeful with our city vouchers that we received from the council in 2019 and 2020 allocations
one is we're all going to have our little slide presentations of the letters from the boards and commissions folks
