Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed36 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personthere's been 14 residents that have um left the community and sold their their um their homes to the city
there's been three residents um that have had to move locations within Ponderosa um as a result of um impacts
established that mobile homes would be a non-conforming use meaning that residents who wanted to stay in their mobile homes
I spoke with the organizers of that initiative about the possibility of adding uh rental assistance to the folks in danger of eviction
I would hope that there is an openness to adding not only rental assistance but rental assistance mediation as well as legal representation
an applicant does intend to explore um potential for shuttles services and improvements to those first and last mile as part of their TDM package
in terms of the comprehensive plan as I mentioned in 2015 um which was a major update to the comp plan
we delivered 105 on-site affordable units along with donating the land
some live work units affordable commercial perhaps a coffee shop uh some affordable telecommuting space
this project is worth considering especially because of its inclusion of permanently affordable and modest market rate rental units
we have about 400 students in Boulder Valley Schools who are homeless
we have a global depression here we have eviction like you've never seen before when the eviction you know restraints have been lifted
what we do not have in Gun Barrel are amenities that you find in downtown Boulder such as Library Rec Center
both the City Planning Commission and city council have identified a gun barrel subc commmunity plan as a priority for Boulder Valley comprehensive plan
while I certainly recognize the need for affordable housing I don't think that this community is what you're looking for
comp plan States the city will seek appropriate building scale and compatible character in new development
perform a realistic traffic study and an unbiased estimate of the number of weekly car trips and parking requirements
thank you Council for your call up this evening and hearing us
for the 500 acre planning Reserve since the 1970s where the city has deferred proposals on all affordable housing development
was spine Road one of the recipients of the 20 M hour um reduction in speed
all of the housing authorities Boulder County Housing Authority Boulder housing Partners um collaborate with chaffa
we have kicked off a effort to create more sub Community plans starting in East Boulder
and if Council decides a ballot measure so I want to begin with the touchstones of our municipalization project
is compelled by state law and by their own programs to reduce carbon their carbon emission 80% from 2005 Levels by 2030
another important function is undergrounding uh as you probably are aware under the the franchise that expired in 20110
the carbon emissions would be measured by an independent third party
we're also looking at making Alpine Balsam Net Zero Energy for for the 9 acre new mix use
reduce the carbon impact of the city's electrical supply there would be a partnership team led by the leadership
and I talked about sh talk Alpine Balsam and then Excel will of course share data with the city
these are annual payments to the city 4.7 million goes to the general fund
so the um the general fund portion will now be replaced by a franchise fee in approximately the same amount
in partnership agreement where we talk about the um governance of how we're going to work together
I think we still below the general fund about 1.4 million I'd want to repay that too once those bills are paid
to consider not only a a franchise ballot measure but also a ballot measure that would under Taber allow us to repurpose the tax
I don't think that we would have the package in front of us had we not pursued municipalization
one of the questions that came up earlier was how would we work through planning the undergrounding
