Greenhouse gas emissions things like increasing residential density, increasing job density, having more mixed use, transit,
so the region has some check in points on how we're doing on our greenhouse gas emissions.
and our new East Boulder Subcommunity plan actually meets a lot of these requirements already, so i'll share more on that in just a moment.
we're anticipating a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions due to increasing the number of people who make trips closer to home
I think that's the piece that i'm always curious about whether it's Tdm or you know G Ghd.
because it's going to be a couple of years before East Border subcommunity plan.
So now we'll move ahead to our our next item tonight, which is a information item and and hopefully a discussion of of the access accessory dwelling unit updates.
I am really looking forward to this discussion about accessory dwelling units, or you'll hear the acronym
Council wanted us to focus on the board and commission our existing Board Advisory Board process to use that for public engagement.

we recognize what's happening on University Hill and some other places.
just because you remove these saturation limits doesn't mean you're going to get affordable rental housing from 80 years.
if you're trying to, for example, get an accessible, you know, wheelchair, accessible role in shower into a space
So i'm going to go through. Just give a few sentences on each one of these related to code, clarification and process improvements.
so process improvements includes a one step review right now it's a 2 step review.
Are there any comments on the simplification and clarification or process improvement.
