Agenda

No agenda items read for this meeting.

• Accessory dwelling units0:08:00at this moment

  to give variances and allowances or incentives to people who might want to put these properties as ADUs in their backyard

• East Boulder subcommunity plan and form-based code0:12:00at this moment

  with the new form-based code, which is outrageous. Not even the person that set the whole thing up with the East Boulder Sub-Community Plan

• Landmark designation and call-up process0:26:00at this moment

  On October 8th, the Landmarks Design Review Committee referred the applications to the full Landmarks Board for review

• Indigenous peoples, tribal relations and Indigenous arts0:27:03at this moment

  This area is the ancestral homelands and unceded territory of Indigenous peoples

• 990 Arapahoe (Presbyterian Manor)0:49:11at this moment

  Moving again to the east, along the row of houses, the next house is 990 Arapahoe Avenue.

• Affordable housing policy1:22:00at this moment

  the stay of demolition will threaten access to much-needed, high-quality, affordable housing for low-income seniors.

• 990 Arapahoe (Presbyterian Manor)1:27:06at this moment

  The Presbyterian Manor has owned these houses for some time, and have maintained them

• Landmark designation and call-up process1:27:06at this moment

  we don't believe that the buildings meet the criteria for landmark designation.

• Urban trees and the forestry corps1:28:04at this moment

  with mature trees that would not only be cost prohibitive to build on, would also endanger, kind of, the urban forestry of the city of Boulder

• Flood mitigation and stormwater1:29:06at this moment

  almost the entire site is subject to FEMA regulatory floodplain, including floodplain Zone AE

• Affordable housing policy1:30:00at this moment

  for the low-income housing tax credit development, which would be considered burdensome by the LIHTC funders

• Zoning for affordable housing1:30:00at this moment

  as part of the zoning for affordable housing zoning changes, the R2 zoning on this site has been subject to a floor area ratio maximum.

• Disability access in city policy1:31:00at this moment

  It would require full ADA upgrades, which would basically involve reconstruction of the entire interior

• Zoning for affordable housing1:40:02at this moment

  The only zone in the city that actually kind of got downzoned as a result of it was RH2, which is where this is.

• Disability access in city policy1:43:08at this moment

  So, we have two that are Type A ADA accessible, and the remainder are Type B ADA accessible.

• Affordable housing policy2:07:05at this moment

  The notion that this is a trade-off between 4 market rate units versus 60 affordable units is a red herring.

• Historic preservation and affordable housing2:08:10at this moment

  to consider a solution that incorporates shared community benefits of affordable housing, historic preservation, and environmentalism.

• Climate action and emissions2:09:18at this moment

  The demolition of these four buildings would destroy their embodied energy, deplete natural resources, and hurt the carbon footprint of Boulder.

• Climate action and emissions2:11:05at this moment

  balancing other community values of historic preservation energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, keeping the pedestrian scale

• Historic preservation and affordable housing2:14:10at this moment

  find a way for two deeply held community values, affordable housing, and historic preservation, to work together in tandem

• 990 Arapahoe (Presbyterian Manor)2:22:03at this moment

  Have no hesitation to promote the building, the demolition of these houses.

• Flood mitigation and stormwater2:24:03at this moment

  the fact that it's senior housing, so you can't have senior housing, you can't have apartments in the floodplain

• Disability access in city policy2:25:02at this moment

  And if you were to make them common area, then they would, need to be fully ADA accessible.

• Flood mitigation and stormwater2:25:02at this moment

  So the integration of them, it's not physically feasible, given the floodplain constraints that we have.

• Landmark designation and call-up process2:36:08at this moment

  I do believe 976 Arapaho Avenue is eligible for individual landmark designation, so for this item

• Reforming boards and commissions3:48:00at this moment

  And part of that this year is a board and commissions open house

• Reforming boards and commissions3:51:08at this moment

  and then we'll invite everybody, so if you can make it, or if you just want to stop by

• Simplifying the land use code and review process4:10:08at this moment

  Like, the site review process, like, that's an issue, okay?
