That has shared parking across the site they're able to average the parking essentially across the Pud instead of treating this as its own individual site.
So with that a little brief history of the City of Boulder Energy Conservation Code, which I'll refer to as the Covid from here on out.
So major focus of this update is building electrification, which is the next major step towards achieving our climate goals shown in the infographic below.
We're introducing an all electric new construction requirement. With no exceptions.
So what this basically says is that any mechanical systems for heating, cooling, water, heating, cooking, close drying fireplaces
require the electrification for charging of automobiles versus a broader range of vehicles, bikes, micro mobility
Are we actually reducing the carbon emissions. Yeah, no.
our analysis continues to show that we're already saving emissions. Simply by going to electric even with today's grid.
in terms of recyclability of anything that that foam touches basically can't be recycled in deconstruction.
So there is that chapter 36, which is about waste recycling that we didn't wasn't really included in your presentation

further stating that reduced or eliminated parking requirements would lower housing costs is not necessarily true
Bvcp Update, consider additional land, use description revisions as a possible tool to catalyze more diverse dwelling types
I don't want to tie to the Bbcp update. I want it to happen before that.
big breaks on on housing affordability insofar, as land use goes and the Tdm. And the parking.
Well, I think there both of these items, both the the zoning for affordable housing 2 and the combination of Parking, Tdm and Npv.

that we have. Passed on this board has been student housing. and it's been a mighty lot of student housing.
you know. when we did, when we did the zoning for affordable housing. What we approved was allowing triplexes on larger lots.
we can marry the new data with zoning afford, with zoning changes that might bring us more diverse housing stock than we are getting

it's not as it's not as it's not as onerous as what they did for East Boulder subcommunity plan.
this item is meant to build upon that conclusion from the airport community conversation
Scenario 3 is airport growth and addition of uses within the context of an airport and the other one is the decommission scenario
