Just for a point of clarity, the Millennium Project is not associated with the university, and so it's a private developer.
We really want to increase campus housing opportunities for upper-level graduate students.
So those numbers that you saw are just CU-affiliated housing.
so Boulder Housing Partners, we've actually had a really good, relationship with Boulder Housing Partners,
that is the absolute perfect segue to CU South, which is a site, you know, really solely focused.
timeline right now, the city's going through the flood mitigation project.
we will, go in, update a lot of accessibility, ADA accessibility, what students expect in their residence halls today
I'll also mention, in tandem with our climate action plan, all of these major renovations are being converted from steam
Does that mean it'll be more affordable than some of the luxury student housing?
Sorry, I missed a point on CU South, so it's 2,100 homes, and that would include faculty and staff housing
outside of, the BHP property, I'm curious what the interaction is between CU Planning and, the city's housing team
Do you anticipate any single-family or townhome at the CU South stage?
we were here back in February with the consultant to present the Nexus study
would also just help mitigate some of the demand on affordable housing that was identified in the NEXUS study
you just have to be really careful that you're following the analysis in the NEXO study
The state law lays out the requirements to impose the fees, most notably the need for a nexus study
I do see a strong legal argument that this is a tax that needs to be subject to TABR.
I thought the inclusionary housing, it was exempt if it was under 4 units, or do I have that wrong?
The area of an accessory dwelling unit would be exempt regardless of size, and it wouldn't apply to renovations.
Same exemption for homes under 2,000 square feet, that would be including the addition.
nobody can afford an ADU at these kinds of
Local funds can be leveraged 2 to 3 times by our affordable housing partners with state and federal funds.
That would be an annexation? I see what you're saying, that would be an annexation into the city?
maybe there could be a manufactured housing portion of Planning Area 3
how you call out the exemptions for ADUs and for multiple units, because I think that would be a really big selling point
Growing the population through LIHTC funds, through everything the Trump administration is doing.
so I'm opposing this impact fee. You know why? Because it's way too nothing!
This inclusionary housing, you get either inclusionary housing, or you get impact fees.
And it would go on the ballot, and it would do 10 times as much good for the people
The intent wasn't to go in and find funds for affordable housing, it was to create more of a level playing field
inclusionary housing regulations, similar to the cash-in-lieu that we have in Boulder
Sales tax went on the ballot, I think the year was 2002.
So 1B was passed by the voters that generates about $18 million a year, countywide.
we have an update or presentation about, sorry, about the Boulder Valley Comp Plan
They're buying dead commercial properties to create graduate student housing
we had our Boulder Valley Comp Plan update last night at the City Planning Board
the relationship between Boulder Valley Comp Plan and the zoning
when we do budget, we'll keep this in mind, but we have a limited pot of money, and we have to figure out how to spend it
Sort of broke it up into two broad categories. Health and Safety Response Budget, and Accelerating exits from homelessness Budget.
The cops out to remove people from public spaces and provide them with ancillary services in doing so.
There's a difference between homeless or unhoused, or whatever you want to call it, and unsheltered.
The city allocates $73,000 to transitional housing, bridge house, and then $45,000 to diversion programs at all roads.
it's almost entirely PSH, is how we are budgeting homelessness exits
how do we take this vacant commercial space and make it useful?
when I heard that excitement from Council in response to one public comment on commercial spaces
That whole complex, though, is not all BHP.
So those people moved into stick-built homes that have already been built on-site, or they had left the park voluntarily.
And then in January, there's going to be a public open house, for all boards and commissions for recruiting purposes.
