Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed50 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personthis presentation is about using the boulder occupation tax a carbon tax in an equitable way
the planet burns floods and dies while boulder fiddles with climate change
since affordable housing is a city-wide program shouldn't all city homeowners instead of just the disadvantaged minority pay
the agreement allows cu to construct 750 000 square feet of non-residential buildings
we did this because we believe that the annexation agreement is fatally flawed and highly disadvantaged
the fact that cu's plans for the property also will make adequate protection against flooding
now on the annexation by emergency cu has said it will mitigate the ponds at cu south
on the utilities bond issue for 2024 which is currently suggested being 91 million
it is now obvious that the south boulder creek valley a lush riparian area should be used for 500 year flood control basins
planning reserve land is set aside for development of projects of city-wide concern
per the boulder valley converts of plan the bvcp the land use designation on the site is light industrial
the east boulder sub-community plan uh but just note obviously that has not yet been adopted
they do require administrative approval for demo and they do require landmark alteration certificates
consistent with bvcp policies on community benefit additional increased commercial linkage fees would apply
additional increased commercial linkage fees would apply to that space as well as any bonus floor area
obviously when passing an ordinance we have to find that it's consistent with our comprehensive plan
focused more on the middle income housing as part of that
requesting that council consider using the additional funds that are from the commercial linkage fee
planning board did act on the application adding a condition of approval that the applicant look at additional transportation demand management options
but it's all been reviewed in the different sequencing to make sure the parking works
it might be something that has to be even added to the capital improvement projects of the city
that would be under item four of tonight's agenda for a is our landmark alteration certificate to construct a two car garage
4b is the landmark alteration certificate to modify exterior building adding a front porch
we did agree to provide a grant to boulder housing partners to help bridge the digital divide
tranche one including emergency rental assistance before before our e-pers program was up and running
so the use of arpa dollars would essentially offset some of the costs of purchasing parklet infrastructure
guaranteed income generally describes programs that provide a cash transfer on a regular basis
a city that first implemented such a guaranteed income project in the u.s back in 2019
meant to focus on the the hundreds of people that have been housed who were previously homeless
where these individuals call home now have uh community spaces
all of the work in the community cultural plan around the work the workforce of individual artists in our community
experiments in public art to commission large-scale city-wide uh temporary and interactive civic practice projects
we're being asked to approve um some funding for outdoor dining but we haven't yet approved the program
budgetarily with our general funds from which we can then take care of some of these other things
giving community foundation more money giving boulder housing partners more money
we're going to talk now a little bit about manufactured housing community support
the four million dollar comes from an estimation of what it would cost to connect utilities to city water and wastewater
a lot of the residents at ponderosa have lived in those manufactured mobile homes for many years
with some of the arts funding things that have a built component to them
bhp could take 2.75 million dollars and leverage it into more than 20 million that's how they operate
the outdoor dining program right now is there a lot of built-in city fees
a voucher to get e-bikes and so it's a way to sort of meet them where they are
i think we should still support that annexation i think it's a great thing for us to do
we have a huge budget and this is in some ways a drop in that budget
you know the arts funding the guaranteed income day care i really appreciate
one of the things i've seen in our community downtown is that you know during the work week town kind of empties out
they're gonna be moving into like net zero homes i think that's significant
we're talking about the referendum of ordinance 8483 um which involves the cu south annexation
think of what other perhaps services or programs or gaps for our unsheltered specifically unsheltered community could exist
more focusing the conversation on navigation uh on having a navigation center up and operational in two years
