as part of implementation of the East Boulder sub-community plan
So transportation connections. we have heard about, of course, enhancing that internal pedestrian and bicycle network
So this is the this is the revised transportation connections plan.
one thing that we have identified that we feel like is very complementary to the transportation connections
as you may remember, from the East Boulder subcommunity plan.
So there will be future steps to update the comprehensive land. Use map congrats, a plan, land use map and the transportation master plan.

What are the capital improvements that the city can get behind, that those will be discussions
Can we be looking at in our 6 year cip down the road
considering simple land use code amendments that would provide greater housing opportunities in the community
the State had kind of taken up the endeavor to to create some changes that would apply to localities
where there's actually been past State legislation and court rulings many of which have made occupancy illegal.

And when you look at the land, use code, the non-conforming use definition does not include occupancy.
in the land use code, we actually have a definition for expansion of a Nonconforming use
we feel that what is in the ordinance would would move forward on a number of different Bvcp policies relating to adding housing.
How have you guys been thinking about the cause and effect in terms of parking requirements, parking reductions, parking needs.
I am involved in the business of student housing in Boulder have been for the past 4 years
We all like to talk about keeping families out of homelessness and secure in their housing.
We often site that addressing climate change is important to us.
I am here tonight to encourage you to support allowing 5 unrelated people to share housing.
the key elements under core values of our adopted comprehensive plan is a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community
at the or most in need of relatively affordable housing, because people don't share housing if in general don't share housing
It does help preserve existing housing stock and provide local solutions to affordable housing.
In our hopes to get some middle income housing that's affordable for some people.
apparently they don't have enough housing even for their freshmen
you're gonna end up having the challenges of student housing spread across the city
