September 3, 2026 City of Boulder City Council Special Meeting and Regular Meeting

Ponca Place right-of-way generally located adjacent to 350 and 355 Ponca Pl.

Consideration of a Site Review Amendment to allow for redevelopment of the Frasier and Mountain View United Methodist (MVUMC) properties at 350 & 355 Ponca Place

Update to City Council on recent State Legislation and State Funding Land Use Code Changes

Consideration of a motion to approve the order of the City of Boulder ballot measures

That is why this is a city issue. Boulder comprehensive plan has been

Use that time to reconcile enrollment projections with Boulder's growth plans, evaluate traffic and climate impacts, and determine what happens

I am asking this council to formally request BVSD to delay their September 22nd vote for just one year.

well-thought and comprehensive plans. This is not one of them.

We also oppose giving Panka Place to Frasier Meadow for free in the middle of a budget crisis.

Safety. Safety. lifeinfusing safety for those who are aging with disabilities.

The zoning for affordable housing ordinance aims to promote densification by allowing duplexes on small lots near transit corridors.

This council has become comfortably numb. Comfortably numb to the steady drip of death of innocent Palestinians.

This is the issue of our time. This is morally reprehensible. This should be at the top of your agenda.

But in a survey, um, BBSD put out, 64% of respondents said they didn't want kids to be separated and split up into different schools.

landlords have aggressively increased home conversion and the city has done nothing.

It represents nearly every priority in the city's master plan.

allowing it to close for some rush purpose puts a literal hole in a family-friendly walkable community.

Why is parks and wrecks forced to reckon with a revenue-based budget of scarcity when other city services seem to operate

We need Spruce Pool because it serves the social, emotional, and physical needs of our aging population.

I'm here to talk about spruce pool funding, and I would like to invite my fellow swimmers

there is with increasing development in Boulder, an increasing need for open, accessible public pools.

So when foreignbased code doesn't meet the expectations, I look forward to hearing from our city attorney what the pathways can be

I did want to just lift up the the requests that the council has made around uh revisiting the budget process

There have been numerous complaints about the process as well as the independent monitor and there has been limited changes to that.

Uh yeah, there's there's nothing the city can do as far as uh you know flood related uh regulations because there's nothing to u uh to review against.

I was wondering I also heard that that Frasier Meadows was paying $8 million into the inclusionary as inclusionary housing

um 10% below the requirement of the um Boulder Energy Conservation Code

for water use um which of the um city's water supply scenarios were used

do they follow the same guidelines as a food truck if they're an agency in terms of paying minimum wage

Can you say more about like is is this Sundance related?

This was not brought to me as an issue with uh that's related to Sundance.

we're really focusing on three pieces of state legislation that we've not talked to you about

things from landmark alteration certificates, the typical time is 9 days

So those two changes, the call up and the automatic planning board hearing um with this ordinance had a really significant impact.

like the zoning for affordable housing um really help to bump up the numbers to get us closer

By subjecting projects to administrative review, these projects become less expensive and do not take as long to reach final approval.

Would that also be regarding the proposed 5 acres at CU South that is set aside for housing that is not student nor faculty?

I will mention that the annexation agreement does limit the height.

And then my other question is when we looked at the TOC, does it include the student housing capacity at CU?

So then at that CU South property though, are they limited to three stories or can they go to any height they want?

And then my other question is when we looked at the TOC, does it include the student housing capacity at CU?

when we looked at area three, we saw and that's in a green field area, not in the TOC area

talked a little I guess it was you who inquired about the housing uh fee in relationship to a project.

And then those impact fees over time get aggregated to increase the capital structure of say a wastewater

because we got a little bit of a different perspective on the area 3 water analysis

So the wastewater um uh blueprint, the um uh transportation blueprint, these are the plans that anticipate future demand

those in tandem with any changes to update the form-based code to meet the TOC.

if we just included I think projects that had any amount of affordable housing, it would have been two per year.

Um well this this has a different definition because it's a state definition of affordable housing.

so wait so right now what the projects that are the non-affordable and the affordable units have to be the same

they would be affordable housing units to meet inclusionary housing, in which case they would need to meet all of our other inclusionary housing standards

they would be affordable housing units to meet inclusionary housing, in which case they would need to meet all of our other inclusionary housing standards

we have so many vacancies in ground floor retail right now so why not do it

this came out of our conversations um after uh some of the the minimum wage conversations
