Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed30 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personbefore we get into too much of the detail i did want to talk about just a refresher on the site review process
to allow any two or three story building to get a height modification if they have to raise their building because of a flood elevation
some concerns about changes in state law that relate to affordable
since we do want to try to get as many affordable housing units out into the community
that go above and beyond the city's already rigorous uh energy code
for things like having a hundred percent affordable housing
that's been expanded to alpine balsam for instance
we're starting to look at potential areas of east boulder sub-community that might be form-based code
in terms of um providing more affordable housing to our community even if it's not you know permanently affordable
can you explain to me a community benefit when it comes to commercial properties
a higher amount of affordable units would be required either on site
it also means a higher commercial linkage fee if they're doing just a non-residential project
there is already wildfire areas designated in the city where the building code already requires
affordable housing is dealt with through the inclusionary housing program
on the three optional criteria an all-electric building depending on the building type can be cost parity
10 more stringent than the city's energy conservation code
how planning board utilizes site review processes not just to evaluate specific projects
there was also some concern about uh devaluing the comp plan itself
anything we can do to make that roadmap more clear and to make the incentives
same as alpine balsam uh right and is that will that remain going forward
there have been some denials of annexations for instance
i don't know why we would not encourage conversation about any uh policy in the comp plan
for greenhouse gas emissions that's so linked to something our community cares so much about
we were trying to look at thresholds for what what typically becomes what people perceive as a large building
to what extent do the greenhouse gas emission reduction criterion apply to larger buildings
are really to align the use table better with the boulder valley comprehensive plan
i know you all haven't been in a lot of discussions about the east boulder sub-community plan
including the east boulder sub-community plan there's really no specific guidance for having these two different types of offices
obviously we'll be talking about the adus and kind of the direction of that ordinance as well
the challenges those schools are facing with enrollment and the pressure that housing is putting on those schools
