We've got, like, 60,000 people set up to come to this town, including Sundance, CU South, Area 3.
You know, we can't even rebuild our South Boulder Rec Center.
Sundance is no panacea. Sundance is going to be the destruction of Boulder.
No impact fees for these developers that are bringing these contracts in
there's Area 3, there's CU South, there's Constant, constant papillios.
redevelop the site at 1128th Street and 2895 East College Avenue into a mixed-use student housing development with 149 units
This continues to be a focus for this area, guided by the City's Transportation Master Plan, and by the 28th
a new B-cycle station in Lime Grove. E-scooter parking would be added near the bus stop.
Including updates to Colorado Avenue, with updates to the multi-use path, the protected bike lane, and new street trees.
like the infrastructure improvements we talked about, micro-mobility enhancements, the relocated bus stop along the frontage road.
And the applicant's TDM plan includes additional measures to encourage alternate modes, including those listed on this slide
The bonus floor area in the fourth and fifth floors are assessed additional inclusionary housing fees or impact fees
how the code works relative to the federal mandates around ADA accessibility
It hasn't gone into effect yet. It'll go in, I believe, April of this year.
the TMP actually shows a planned multi-use path connection between College and Colorado to the east of the subject property.
So the addition of the detached sidewalk and the street trees and the bulbout was really all that transportation staff were looking for
And in particular, their suitability for supporting the required street trees.
But the TDM plan says every student is offered to pay a transit fee
we have a dedicated B-cycle spot that they want to put their facilities in, and a lime grove.
And so a view kind of coming up just to get a better sense of what's happening, where we have tables
From the south side, if you were up on the bova's patio, you can definitely look in there
did you consider the idea of green rooftops, planting some things up there to help with urban heat island effect and aesthetics?
So we look at it both ways, and we recognize the, the fact that there are no parking minimums.
while the city has no parking requirements, we do promote unbundled and managed and paid parking
So, all the parking in the basement is for residents, and so those, accessible parking spaces serve as residents.
I think we could work with staff to identify if there's a good place along College.
And then it says the building is 100% fossil fuel free.
A project that chooses not to provide parking for commercial uses. may also avoid providing ADA-accessible parking.
Because ADA accessibility requirements, are triggered when parking is provided, and developments that provide no parking at all
A project that chooses not to provide parking for commercial uses. may also avoid providing ADA-accessible parking.
Continuing to redevelop this area immediately adjacent to the CU campus for high-density pedestrian-oriented student housing.
areas that are subject to our form-based code in East Boulder.
the carbon sequestration that is already in the trees.
This is stuff that we give people through site review to let them build more homes
Just in terms of a supply side, we're creating more supply by allowing more density, by allowing more height.
Local funds are from our cash in lieu, our inclusionary housing.
the vacancy tax that's being talked about, explored, whatever, is between 1 and 3 million annually
This is one of my favorite graphics that we have, but it just shows the affordable housing units and where they're located
we have a very robust rental assistance and tenant protection program.
it's a great partnership between the City of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District, and Habitat for Humanity.
We've heard recently, especially in the context of annexations, that we can't push as hard on the proportion of affordable housing
that's why you're seeing a lot of annexation agreements come back to Planning Board.
I would think that if the cash-in-lieu rate was at an equilibrium.
The basic fact is we can build more affordable housing if we get the cash in lieu.
We've maybe had a little bit less success in Boulder Junction or Alpine Balsam, I'm not really up on those projects.
Area 3, city-owned land, the airport, like, it comes up a lot, right?
We're gonna do it again at Alpine Balsam.
basically what BHP did at Holiday, to recreate that model.
affordable housing is financed, you cannot have a mixed income projects.
All over the city of what we'll do at Alpine Balsam.
Annexations are a little bit more unreliable. But those are the ones that, we're familiar with.
Boulder Housing Partners has renovated and upgraded a significant portion of their
there's a capital improvements policy, homeowners can make upgrades
the timing of how Planning Board will respond to
Planning Board and Council, like the East Boulder Sub-Community Plan, as an example, have to agree on, whether or not to move forward.
most notably things tied to Sundance, but not exclusively so
this is not anything that's specified in the Boulder Valley Comp Plan, right
but I think in the case of Area 3, the setup of the three steps for consideration do contemplate
It didn't, certainly in the case of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.
Regarding the Area 3 Planning Reserve. Looking for a second.
Just following up on the comp plan release, I had made a request a couple of times for a large-scale printout of the map.
