On this issue of The price for the stormwater and flood from the CU South Development
The two ballot measures that passed were misinformation campaigns.
The approval is subject to call up on or before May 6, 2025.
This map does show that there are some proposed connections that have not yet been constructed.
In terms of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, this property is designated light industrial.
As part of that annexation to address the affordable housing needs that would be generated by the new building.
So here you can see the prior site review that was approved in 2020 along with the annexation of the southern parcels.
The first is if the proposed concept plan is compatible with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.
It'll go to city council for their call-up consideration
I'm also curious if and when we see this project at site review which portions of the East Boulder sub-community plan will apply to it
And you pointed out that in the East Boulder sub-community plan, it talks about things like abigration easements and notification to property owners.
So as you get closer to the airport, there tends to be less residential allowed, for example
I do think that the noise and pollution generated by the airport are unique.
This entire area is impacted in a uniquely toxic way by that airport.
Yeah, it's shown on the transportation master plan.
And then I know there are reducing greenhouse gas emissions requirements for developments of this size
Have to meet an increased energy code level
When we amend an annexation agreement. Does that essentially open the annexation agreement up to renegotiation.
What are the fire access, so emergency access on the one hand, and then accessible parking requirements in terms of proximity to residential buildings.
We included a residential layout and proposal as part of that annexation, that annexation didn't go through at the time
Could you go back to the slide that showed the transportation connections, the bike
I see a proposed location for a mobility hub, which could include like an e-bike station or scooters or car share spots.
We're going to have to work through the site accessibility requirements because there are ADA requirements for some of those paths
It is not deed restricted and it is not luxury.
I think support for cargo bikes and e-bikes and that kind of thing is going to be pretty important.
So remember at Alpine Balsam, we actually brought some accessible spaces right to the buildings
the most important thing that you can do for the economics of this Project is Free Palestine now!
When I look at TDM plans, I'm looking specifically at more concrete infrastructure.
I have no concerns about the compatibility with the East Boulder sub-community plan.
For my part, I think housing could be appropriate at this location in support of BVCP goals around the jobs and housing balance
The Transportation Master Plan, or TMP, shows a proposed multi-use path connection from the south of the site across the two ditches
it's going to be dictated by current energy codes, whereas many of the buildings out there were built quite some time ago
the TDM plan says that The project will not include paid parking.
the TDM plan says that The project will not include paid parking.
but there really isn't a market for paid parking.
From a pure rental standpoint, basically the rental rate of the building the tenant is to occupy the building and gets to use the parking
I didn't see any mention about the reducing greenhouse gas emissions requirement for sites over 30,000 square feet
So that's identified in the TMP in that location it's mostly conceptual
So it's a greenhouse gas issue. Like these cul-de-sac things it's like weather vane
We've got to get justice for Palestine, a fair solution for Palestine
So right now, the site plan shows ADA parking centered right on the front south side, the center.
Would your proposal remove just the spaces on either side of the ADA parking or the additional parking farther south.
The final plans shall be revised to show a long-term bike parking area that provides weather protection horizontal parking and charging infrastructure for e-bikes.
They may choose to fulfill their inclusionary housing requirement with cash in lieu.
Boulders had an exceptionally good run at avoiding the number one sin in affordable housing
I think, again, I think this is also what I've learned early on about state law
Rent control is not still allowed under state law.
And then subsequently, they changed their mind, as was their right And they paid cash in lieu.
all within state law and their legal right to do that
I know that with the inclusionary housing program the rates that we charge for cash in lieu are meant to be the equivalent
