Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed34 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personour first item will be the access management and parking strategy amps Transportation demand management TDM update
our update on the access management and parking strategy and transportation demand management project updates
working towards our climate goals by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions
this project also implements a ton of different policies in our Boulder Valley comprehensive plan
as well as our measurable many measurable objectives in the transportation master plan
the house bill that was adopted by the state legislature which prohibits cities like Boulder
staff is continuing to recommend that we eliminate minimum parking requirements Citywide for all land uses
we can make sure that we are accommodating the types of bikes that are more common these days like cargo bikes and ebikes
they're actually housed in our energy conservation code so they're not in the land use code or zoning code
this approach and the use of financial guarantees provides the mechanism for property owners to pay for the annual cost of TDM programs
as the house bill uh made mention of the estimated cost of building a single structured parking space
we are also recommending some exemptions to the ordinance namely the smallest projects that are would meet the tier zero
collaborate with Boulder Valley School District to formalize park and walk zones around schools
that could be an important part of the conversation for the comprehensive plan
we're going to have to pretty uh significantly overhaul the site review process over the next couple of years
the key thing in a in a TDM ordinance is that TDM programs have ongoing annual costs
does TDM now that we're doing with Transit oriented communities effectively frontload all planning and permiting
like we do with energy code updates to say even if you're not scraping a house and you're doing a small remodel
especially since we have a tight budget we have restricted funds we need to know what's restricted
as people might switch their um garages into adus but still want to have an EV
there's very specific like ADA requirements that you need to have that go over the cord
although I appreciate again the redu the redu the reduction in emissions
our almost exclusive focus on bikes and Es scooters and public transit which we don't really have
which will make a big difference in our carbon footprint
an update on community Assistance response and Eng and engagement otherwise known as our Care Program
which is of The CARE program um it will be no okay well no I wasn't it was the comprehensive one
the evaluation that was done of our homeless system
Elevate Boulder is on that and so it was my understanding that no funds had been identified to continue that program
our combined certain and Care programs um about another two million
most of that uh was accounted for by some one-time funds we provided to establish the tribe recovery house
the $5 million going to the county as a result of the affordable housing tax for services
the two million that we um invested in tribe that that was um that that's a partnership project where we're providing the um the building
14 million was was uh included in the mental health category from our affordable housing funds
there are some appointments again around Boulder housing Partners right like there's some serious um support
