The wealth inequity just causes more homelessness and we haven't got the money for it.
the homeless will go from one town to the next and they'll propagate to Boulder and we'll just be doing nothing
The public hearing item tonight, agenda title. Concept review proposal to redevelop the 448,668 square foot site at 2952 baseline road
this presentation is for the concept plan review at 2952. Baseline road.
There's about 65,000 square feet of commercial space currently on the site.
Much of the site is affected by the regulatory flood plane. Including the 100 year flood plane
as part of the zoning for affordable housing code changes, which were adopted by council
Boulder has no control over the height of those buildings, correct?
So there is, a city CIP project. That's planning, crossing improvements on baseline this year.
We've designed the street plan not about just about urban place making but also about the flood.
could be closed off and you could do farmers markets and events and food trucks there
What's your guarantee that it's actually gonna be some student housing and some market housing?
My first question is about the flood. So you're moving the flood.
Transportation master plan in need of an update.
And I think is essential if we're going to enter into meaningful conversations about reducing parking requirements.
You know, we really need a affordable retail.

where Sprouts Market actually gets many of its food and produce items from local Colorado farmers
I even keep hearing student housing for this proposal. Student housing is itself unaffordable in this town.
They have said in their proposal that they're going to pay cash in lieu, which is a stupid position
There are no affordable units that are going to be there.
Are you sending them back to the original Williams village?
there are unfortunately many homeless people and people that like to take advantage of students walking home
I understand the rationale of cash in lieu, leveraging collected money with additional grants, etc.
the fact that we really need affordable housing in this city and that's not. At all being addressed
that it has really dealt with no affordable housing or very little affordable housing being.
do everything you can to further reduce the parking at this site
The city is trying to have more folks. Drive less for carbon footprint and climate change.
does the project aligned with BVCP goals for neighborhood centers
So key issue number one, the BVCP is our guiding document and as such
Guiding document and the zoning is the supporting document.
I think that this is an ideal place for student housing.
the project is subject to historic preservation. Review. This could result in landmark designation eligibility
the only thing that we could preserve through historic preservation is the exterior of the building.
if we are in fact considering historic preservation of that building
What we can do is through our inclusionary housing program, say either.
State law requires that the city Give developers choices.
