The Landmarks board just agreed to demolition of what was going to be the phoneless shelter.
check out what the infrastructure costs for the city, go to the reservoir. The water treatment plant
I don't know how much capacity board members would have to do more liaising.
It grew out of the zoning for affordable housing project, where we brought the last ordinance to make changes to our zoning
So basically, what this means is that anything that doesn't require any modifications that ordinarily would still have to go through site review
It's for projects where there might be a site review project that fulfills its housing. It's inclusionary housing requirements by doing offsite
There's a lot of folks that have indicated that, you know if we're going to add housing, it should only be deed restricted, permanently affordable housing
there was a fair amount of support for adding housing, I think, with the zoning for affordable housing project
tries to really incentivize units within buildings that are historic, to to try to avoid a bunch of demolitions of historic housing stock
if you demolish something without permits, or you don't go through the proper. You know historic preservation process.
So we've been in conversations with the Department of Climate initiatives on this issue related to, you know, environmental concerns.
So we find that the content of the ordinance is consistent with a number of Bvcp policies as we've outlined within the memo.
So should we make those make changes to the Boulder Valley Comp plan in those intensity standards in those zones.
it sounds like there's some political loggerheads going on between the planning proposals and the climate action concerns.
I think it would be most likely to be a Bhp type project that would take advantage of that.
or other things that would require site review, that it would kick them into that site review process where the public input.
that's more money that's going to go into the Inclusionary Housing fund with every unit that gets added.
Let's say that we want to to be able to live here so that we can fill up our schools.
These restrictable, affordable housing are happy with it. And there's quite a few homes like that that were built mostly 20 years ago.
increase the commute to other places and the carbon footprint, you know.
boulder housing partners put heat pumps, heat pump water heaters in this project I heard from a friend
Well, the the state law doesn't allow enforcement of the occupancy rules that are in effect.
With several amendments, one would regard the open space requirement in favor of reducing that from 3,000 square feet to 2,000 square feet
We were trying to keep it below 50%, so that we meet the Comp plan to stay predominantly detached.
Updated occupancy and adu changes required by State law. This is an informational item that we will not vote on.
So with respect to the adu Bill. habs, probably aware that we've recently made updates to the adus through the last several years.
You also have to not have design restrictions that go beyond a a detached dwelling unit.
So basically, we have to update the land use code to allow adus in all the zones that allow detached dwelling units.
We're proposing to just eliminate the parking requirement for an adu.
It used to be 3 or 4 per unit unrelated persons per unit.
So the city already does have the international property maintenance code, the Ipmc that sets the occupancy limit based on life safety parameter.
It says that the city can't enforce an occupancy limit that conflicts with the State Bill after July 1st of this year.
The day to use is the elimination of the parking requirement and the owner occupancy.
Is the State law mandate a deadline to make it happen well with with 80 use, I think it says, by middle of 2025.
that if you didn't want to have a plant based meal you'd have to opt in to say
So if we were to take today for an example, right people would have to opt in for the chicken or the beef or the cheese right?
I'm gonna make a motion that the Housing Advisory Board express our support to the Environmental Advisory Board by adopting a plant-based default approach for food at our meetings.
We're gonna have probably have some end to our January meeting to talk about office conversions of the housing.
questions that came up tonight about what's the effectiveness of deed restricted for sale?
for a lot of them, if they can't come up with the money, or they're not eligible for emergency rental assistance.
There's like a lot of people that are talking about homelessness, and that gets into so many issues that have nothing to do with housing.
I moved the Board to schedule a listening session on homelessness.
But I don't want to have a discussion about mental health issues and encampments and judicial issues like it needs to be housing for them.
So this whole office conversion discussion, remember, that's been a high priority for folks.
So January still has we have the doctor cog. Regional housing needs assessment.
Are you asking us to bump the office conversion.
So the the impact fee, the nexus study for scrapes and additions that we've talked about.
the general endorsement with some tweaks for the material that was presented
