there's a big movement towards helping homeowners rent out during Sundance
So luxury student housing, say, has, what, you have 4 bedrooms, you're gonna have 4 baths, because that's what they're willing to pay for.
it's kind of a way that you can leverage the economy of Sundance or the digital nomad community
We did talk about office conversions. at our last meeting, because I had done a kind of a steady tour
when we're talking about neuro-inclusive housing in the housing space in Colorado
that's something that, we see as very valuable to neuro-inclusive housing
I think that these three publications are good primers on what is going on in Colorado vis-a-vis neuro-inclusive housing
These are project-based rental assistance, and they're specific for persons with disabilities
BHA will own the property, but we're actually using a variety of service providers
So doing a LIHTC deal like we've done, that is one option
It wasn't just looking at LIHTC funding and things associated with affordable housing, but were you able to access more options
we began a relationship with Boulder Housing Partners that resulted in the Blue Bell Building as part of 30 Pearl
there's barriers to this stuff happening inside our land use code, right?
well, ADUs, attached dwelling units, so we're creating a unit type that's got
this is one that, is operating here in BHP, develop that
a form-based code, and, you know, all that stuff just dilutes the ability to get anything done
the state laws made huge progress, but, like, really what needs to happen is
automatically you would get a density bonus. automatically you would get faster through the approval process
This is something you should be supporting in the new land use code, as opposed to DU per acre
there are barriers in the, land use code to that, in the use tables
That some of it could have a disparate impact on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
now that we don't have occupancy limits, you can do cooperative housing
the biggest part was transitional housing, you know, and then it moved to a housing-first model
the first round of, like, the co-op ordinance, and ADUs, and all these things
Here in Boulder, we have a 700 billion page form-based code that tells you where to put the crease in the building
white papers talking about the Comp Plan, or Area 3, or housing
white papers talking about the Comp Plan, or Area 3, or housing
looking through the, Comp plan, as it stands now
you're not getting all the same government money to build that as, like, affordable housing, LIHTC
So what comes close is the student housing, where they've got, like, 6-bedroom units.
when we did this last session on the office conversions, I felt like most of that conversation had to do with
they're rented by the bedroom, they're not rented by the apartment
so that public review draft will be released, early March, so you'll have time to review it beforehand
We're gonna do a little thing on Elevate Boulder next month.
