So this would be similar but would apply to residential development and as shown in this graphic
monies received into this fund are solely for the construction, purchase and maintenance of affordable housing
the inclusionary housing program requires developers of new residential development to set aside 25% of new units to low or moderate income households
that is sort of um the reason why we have to pursue pursue a nexus study
the bottom line results indicating a need for additional affordable units that basically ranges from 0.15 to 0.45 units per project
Um the affordable units needed reflect an assumption that twothirds of the workforce generated by these types of projects will live in Boulder
there would be a nexus study for any anything that is technically an impact fee
their inclusionary housing only applies to 10 or more units
it also overlaps with the size of a ADU typically
in potentially exempting ADUs entirely if that's possible
is in direct alignment with the city's vision zero goals and ongoing commitments
it's Boulder's formal review process that assesses the potential impacts of capital improvement projects
Alternative B prioritizes safety with protected intersections, improved midblock crossings
Alternative A prioritizes travel time by maintaining vehicle lanes, but that minimizes space for safety improvements
The community prioritizes the environment and so air quality, greenhouse gas, and other environmental impacts are evaluated
we also have our climate crisis which is again billion dollar disasters that are escalating
I don't see anything that's kind of about like urban heat island effect
finding the right conditions for street trees to thrive can be a challenge
during our long-term financial strategies conversation we looked at the long list of unmet infrastructure needs
how we budget for local match in our CIP um annually
I'm not the budget expert here and and would have to lean on our finance team to follow up on this
it makes our climate goals more challenging
I hope we can take that up in the financial strategies um work
