a unanimous vote of the Boulder City Council following Boulder's leadership many other Colorado communities have passed ceasefire resolutions
our reaction to the war in Gaza has a dramatic effect on the well-being of our local community
likes to think of itself as Progressive and likes to talk about land acknowledgements and reconciliations
if Israel will cease fire we will meet here again in a year or two when Kamas will strike again
we'll say that we will be speaking about that at the upcoming meeting on February 8th as we talk about all of our homelessness strategies
so this is the 2952 Baseline Road concept review um for the newer members of council
the unit type mix would include market rate units and student housing units
this project uh site excludes the Baseline Crossing site as well as the McDonald site
610 attached residential units of which about 285 would be student housing
the board was split on the extent to which the project was consistent with Boulder Valley comprehensive plan goals
the light green is student housing um so the kind of e-shaped building is mostly student housing
a site review application when it comes in will require a decision by planning board which will also be subject to call up by city council
I think my preference would be to wait for the call up so that we could provide more detail about what we would like dab to look at
annexation is the process of annexing land that is outside of the city boundaries into the city boundaries
an annexation agreement is required to establish terms and conditions of an annexation
Council was asked to consider the call up of the companion site review application council did not vote to call up the application
the property is located in uh the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan planning area 2 area 2 refers to land now under County jurisdiction
modifications to the required Adu or accessory dwelling unit roof pitches to allow for slightly lower pitches than the code requires
the annexation agreement includes a requirement for the applicant to provide 40% of the total units or six units which ever is greater as permanently affordable housing
for every market rate unit that they construct will have to build one affordable unit at the same time
they filed an annexation petition more than 50% of the land owners signed the petition
my impression is we don't have a TDM uh Transportation demand management requirements for annexation that's not something we would
we do address that through site review though so there is a TDM plan associated with the the site review
we do match the LR designation on the comp plan and we are contiguous to LR
emphasis for residential development to permanently affordable housing next slide
I did just ask um inclusionary housing staff about this today and the numbers
we really probably don't anticipate any Blue Grass really on the project at all except for the tree lawn areas
the built landscape whether it's Hardscape or whether it's built properties affects the flood plan and you know my water bill
all things downtown is not a project it is uh a maybe a project of projects
today the built environment is of course regulated by our zoning districts of which we have five distinct downtown zones
the project includes the Central Park area we will also study what's known in the Civic area plan as east and west book ends
last year the city also received an application for designating part of the Civic area in yellow as a historic district
those will be considered along with some of the recommendations that were recently put forward by the downtown Boulder partnership in the Downtown Vision plan
to recommend improvements that will support our vision zero goals
I saw Boulder High mentioned once in the memorandum but also thinking about the boulder high students which are very um part of the Civic area
designed guidelines can be either uh crafted before a designation hearing um at the essential time of
I believe the majority of those are in the capital Improvement program and so they have an Associated budget
I believe the majority of those are in the capital Improvement program and so they have an Associated budget
there are specific design guidelines for the historic district and there are other design guidelines for that area
there are specific design guidelines for the historic district and there are other design guidelines for that area
we had to find a budget that didn't exist um so we didn't want to make
ongoing monitoring of the revenues and what it means for Project funding is part of the ongoing budget
if there were to be a downturn in sales tax collections how will that impact these projects
we have a vehicle miles traveled reduction goal it's related to a climate goal
somebody with that climate expertise on the different teams that are currently exist
I didn't hear anything or see anything around tribe tribal engagement um so that would be another community
the boulder District Court heard oral argument on a motion to dismiss in the sunore case which you might think of as the climate litigation
wondering in this time frame if we even have the staff capacity to look up past board and commission members
I would also like to add the Boulder Police oversight panel as a part of the boards and commissions
as a former member there is in institutional knowledge that current members don't have and that is why I think
