The perfect example is 777 Broadway, which are going to be probably 900 bedrooms rented by the bedroom
This was about the creative campus in the North Boulder subcommunity plan
about this specific issue of the Amps strategy and Tdm planning
the portion of the site where they're proposing to build the lots has also already been raised out of the floodplain
They didn't really have an agreed upon opinion about consistency with transportation, master Plan goals
whether the proposed project is consistent with the Site Review criteria, including findings related to consistency with Bvcp policies
are you referring to a boulder Valley comp plan policy, or to a site review criterion
Let's not get rid of healthy, long lived trees
So those are trees that our landscape and forestry staff would be removed anyway, regardless of their condition
Another criteria we have is reduce the greenhouse gas emissions
I'm curious, does that include heat island impact
I think the energy conservation code takes into account urban Heat Island, for sure
the short answer is that's taken into account in the energy conservation code
Here is this Terra boulder, 5,675 Arapaho project
identified and defined wetlands floodplain which really constrained us in so many ways
The life science tenant just needs certain equipment requires additional height
it's a competing project with the Ridgeway Science and Tech project that was approved
the public transportation infrastructure does not support eliminating all parking
Did you do any contact with Boulder B cycle about micro mobility stations at your facility
I think this plan is largely consistent with the Bvcp
We've done some work on that in the East Boulder subcommunity plan
we talked about the the need for a forward-looking Tdm plan that would accommodate the future
trying to tell applicants pretty much every time they come forward with a Tdm plan that refer
I was part of the East Boulder subcommunity plan process
there could be some constraints because of the floodplain and things like that
as shown in the East Boulder subcommunity plan, should be making stronger connections for both access
I also get concerned with Ada requirements and the and bike grade requirements
Based upon Staff's evaluation, including Ada and Wetland, criteria and other Site review criteria
doesn't address the needs of folks that can't lift a heavy e-bike
They don't accommodate people with disabilities very well, who might want to use trikes
a lightweight bike that you can lift up onto a hanging bike rack
I move a condition that the Tdm plan will be revised to include either a parking pricing program
work on this as a part of our amps project
with Alpine balsam, the area plan specifically mentioned some principles
there's places where sometimes area plans will mention some principles like the transportation master plan
I was referencing the reducing the greenhouse gas emissions
I was speaking about the Heat Island effect
is taken into account in the code, in the energy code
Ultimately the greenhouse gas emissions which translate over to how much emission is the building
I would wonder whether requiring mitigation of the Heat Island impact would go beyond what code would require
It's essentially the practice of ensuring that buildings are prepared for a wildfire or embers
compliance with wildfire regulations at the time of sale of a property is something they asked us to look into
whether that would trigger historic Preservation Review as a demolition
I believe any change in street facing facade materials is considered a demolition
fire resistance should trump historic preservation in all cases
explore applying some vegetation management standards to a larger area beyond the Wui
to look at our existing regulations for landscaping in the goal of supporting water conservation
there was a State Bill passed last year the non-functional Turf Bill that actually prohibits non functional turf
this graph really is focused on the Nonfunctional Turf Bill
A part of this project is we're going to have to better define what non functional turf means for Boulder
really educating the public and practicing drought, water restrictions, so that people understand what it could mean if we're in a drought
we would need to construct a whole new set of infrastructure
