Its purpose is to align with the uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan as well as any of the other adopted plans

the new Boulder Boulder Valley Comp Plan released this year helped us move towards a more unified vision for greenways

given that this is one of the first big projects that are coming through our new comprehensive plan

Boulder adopted its zoning and its comprehensive plan for exactly this kind of site.

the resoning is not in compliance with the existing comp plan and specifically policy 2.15 which is barely discussed at the PNZ meeting.

which often includes a review of consistency with the comprehensive plan

So, at the heart of the plan um is a vision for the our community where everyone belongs

with the recent adoption of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

The proposal was analyzed under the city's new newly updated comprehensive plan.

One, Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan BVCP land use map change designation change from rural lands to neighborhood one.

generally what's looked at in a spot zoning challenge by a court is whether or not the zoning follows the plan

there's no 15 minutes uh neighborhoods like the Boulder Valley Comp plan directs

adopting the 2025 major 10-year update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

the BBCP community hub holds the promise for creating vibrant mixeduse centers

with the BBCP land use map and on balance with the goals and policies of the BBCP particularly those that address the built environment

The Boulder Valley Comp plan in policy 82 says the city supports increasing the housing supply by promoting housing types and price points

I think this is especially important because the city has completed its new Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

that may be something that merits looking at citywide as part of implementation of the comp plan

the growth generated from this project is unacceptable to the Boulder Valley comp plan

the comprehensive plan talks about these 15minute communities, walkable communities.

The third part speaks to the uh um Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and the balance with the goals and policies in that.

the third part of your criteria asks whether the designation is in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

from the Boulder Valley comp plan to House Bill 101, the transportation oriented communities down to our ordinance 866

the city council shall grant a resoning application only if the proposed resoning is consistent with the policies and goals of the Boulder Valley comp plan

we evaluated the CIP as a portfolio and specific projects against the policies of the comprehensive plan

the review of the CIP to consider if the recommended program is consistent with and advances the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

It represents nearly every priority in the city's master plan.

That is why this is a city issue. Boulder comprehensive plan has been

has the following comments on the amendments to the draft Boulder Valley Comp plan

that are part of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan since March of 2025

It is the continued item for the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan adoption.

Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) Adoption: Consideration of one or more motions to:

Item 3A is the first public hearing on tonight's agenda and it is the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan BVCP adoption

We have area 3 planning reserve, which our comp plan has been negotiating for quite a while.

item 3A as the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan adoption and 3B as the continued operation of the airport consideration

Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) Adoption: Consideration of one or more motions to

Consideration of one or more motions related to the major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) to:

I don't know the BVCP interaction with the federal government um regulations or uh probably more importantly uh applications for grant opportunities

I move to approve the major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan with the City Council condition

would have to go through the site review process which then consistency with the comp plan is also required

City Council public hearing and consideration of a motion to approve the major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

Boulder Valley Comp Plan amendment procedures, the notification and the screening is pretty obvious what you're supposed to do.

When you look at the BVCP policies, there's many that relate to um enhancing, you know, the downtown of Boulder

The use review process does not require the same level of consistency with the comprehensive plan as a site review.

you don't want the structure and guidance of an actual comprehensive plan.

The 2020 plan's eight categories of residents are clearly consistent and clear and consistent and their variation encourages a wide range of neighborhood types.

public hearing and consideration by each body of a motion to approve the major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

to hold the continued Public Hearing for the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Adoption

The updated Boulder Valley Comp Plan has a clear direction

The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Boulder Vision Plan, and many others.

these were all considered heavily in developing the draft plan of development

I think it would make a lot of sense for us to look at that as part of our comprehensive plan

Consideration of a motion to convert the June 4, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting to a Special Meeting to hold the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Adoption

Comprehensive Plan, which sets the a vision for a future development and preservation in the city of Boulder and Boulder County

asks whether the designation is in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley

comprehensive plan and how much uh, reparations and land back to indigenous peoples was not in there

do we find that the proposed ordinance implements the adopted policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, or BVCP

to the extent that what you do as you review the BVCP and influence what it winds up being

agree that it doesn't meet the current BVCP, and I would also say

in our comp plan that's coming there is a lot of talk about light industrial being kind of a hub in its own way.

looking at our comprehensive plan which um may be adopted over the summer.

I think this project is consistent with the BVCP land use map and policies.

At that time, the board concluded that the project aligned with BBC BVCP policies

We have explained in other forums that the comprehensive plan doesn't operate at the level of that type of specificity

I'm curious the possible impacts to the Boulder Valley comp plan update

that is consistent with Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plans

growth must add significant value to the community, or improve quality of life.

Pursuant to BVCP Policy 117C, because the developed portions of the properties are located within Area 2

Now, that's one of the policies in the comp plan.

right now, we're going through an update of the Boulder Valley's Comprehensive Plan, which is our overarching document

Second, the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan has envisioned community values for human flourishing.

partnerships with non nonprofits with a demonstrated history of providing affordable housing um, and then a comprehensive plan alignment

Consideration of a motion to accept the March 26, 2026, Study Session Summary regarding the review of the draft Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

because I remember that you brought this up in the context of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

The Arts Blueprint is very intentionally aligned with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update.

do you mean um in terms of um the the community hubs and others that we're calling out in our comp plan uh draft?

Remember we had the presentation on the comp plan, and I made the remark, at the end

the comp plan really sets out that vision, doesn't really list all of the strategies that we would take to get to that vision

one of the questions I think you raised at our last conversation about the comp plan was just the relationship between the comp plan and the cap

are they being looked at in the new comprehensive plan?

This project is in significant alignment, both with the current comp plan and the draft comp plan.

no project must fulfill all BVCP policies and goals

And that is reflected in multiple BVCP policies.

The planning horizon for the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is 20 years.

the review of the draft Boulder Valley comprehensive plan with the planning board

the answer is it becomes effective immediately upon the final approval

All this, like, link that you heard out of the comprehensive plan, that when it moves into zoning

How does it relate to the comp plan, or does it relate to the comp plan, and especially how our arts

All right, moving right into Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. Would you like to introduce them?

Yeah, that's consistent with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

the Comprehensive Plan acts as a check on the City of Boulder's ability to change its zoning code.

if you go to the comp plan website, you'll, you'll find it in there.

service area expansion may occur at a midterm or major update to the BBCP

it is attached as an appendix to the comp plan

I'm really trying to relate this slide to what is in the comp plan amendment process

The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan further unpacks those 7 goal areas with the 97, 99, 102.

within the policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, there's tensions with some of them, right?

Those are not being included in the comp plan, because I think that's the opportunity

Importantly, the plan must align with adopted plans like the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan and any sub-community plans.

providing feedback on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

The draft plan of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan is now available for review.

we'll move on to our main item, tonight, the discussion on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Update

the comp plan is kind of the document that I think is striving to make the broad policy statements on subjects

the future land use map that's included in this draft plan represents a pretty significant shift

I'm working hard on the Boulder Valley Comp Plan to keep it shrunk down, because we do not need this density.

And we're here, as you mentioned, to share an update on where we are in the comp plan update process, and give you an overview of the draft plan.

tab feedback on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, or BVCP, update. This is part of the public draft roadshow this evening.

I hope we can, work on some input on BVCP, In the next few weeks

conversations that you've been having around the comp plan uh recently as well

related to the Boulder Valley comp plan in affordable housing

If you feel like we've fallen short in addressing some of those issues, then please do provide us that feedback

the Climate Action Plan will be looking to the Boulder Valley Comp Plan for guidance

Thinking about it in the right way, these designations are very specific to the Comprehensive plan.

Broadly speaking, the comprehensive plan drives most, if not all, of the future decisions that the city makes

The Comprehensive plan is really intended to, document and identify the community's values as we move forward

I think this is such an amazing evolution from previous Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plans

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.

this is not anything that's specified in the Boulder Valley Comp Plan, right

the Boulder Valley Comp Plan Update. So that we'll have a update in March, and then have time to do

Second, imbalance. Does the proposed designation… is it consistent with the comp plan? And the comp plan is really important, we're rewriting it now.

And it is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

The redevelopment will be reviewed through the quasi-judicial site review process, which evaluates projects for consistency with the comprehensive plan and other adopted plans of the community.

whether the concept plan is consistent with Boulder Valley comp plan land use map and goals and policies

The change to the Boliv Valley comprehensive plan land use map designations are hereby approved unanimously.

but in my opinion, to be consistent uh with the East Boulder sub community plan and the Boulder Valley comp plan

in March, we will have the comprehensive plan, the vote on the arts blueprint

So I think this project is consistent with the BVCP land use map and policies.

The BVCP land use designations are low density and very low density residential, which are characterized by larger lots with single-family homes and more rural characteristics.

The project complies with the BVCP policies, as outlined in the packet.

from the start, the comprehensive plan update process has been grounded in engagement and research

how we implement those policies within the comprehensive plan that is the work to be done as part of an expansion plan

staff would return to discuss initiation of a service area expansion plan after adoption of the comprehensive plan

As well as an update on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

is just going to be in our comp plan big tent

I voted in favor of the comp plan addition

the development should be in compliance with the city's comprehensive plan

is it possible that the process of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update also shapes the future of the Historic Preservation Plan?

the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update will help shape the policies related to historic preservation.

We are also a core team member of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Update, which you all will see at your next regular meeting in March

The comp plan, I think we have that scheduled to come back next month?

and then, of course, the Boulder Valley Comp Plan. Which you all have seen a number of, presentations on.

if the proposed concept plan's generally compatible with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the BVCP

the rezoning would be requested to bring the existing zoning into conformance with the BVCP and TBAP land uses

and I suspect it will, has a lot of aspirational language.

so that public review draft will be released, early March, so you'll have time to review it beforehand

looking through the, Comp plan, as it stands now

white papers talking about the Comp Plan, or Area 3, or housing

So that the community can go to the library and see not only what the comp plan did

in June, the entire group show of the comp plan will be at the library for 2 months

So, think back to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

So the City initiated the eighth major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan in late 2024.

And that is also the time that the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan is slated to come back to boards all across the city.

What's our role with respect to the, comp plan? I mean, do we have input into that?

Of course, we're undergoing an update. You will hear from those folks in March.

those really are the tools, the implementation tools of the comprehensive plan

while this request does align well with the comprehensive plans, goals and the latest draft policy direction

we received a total of nine requests for changes to the plan's policies and text

the planning staff did not make the staff recommendations on the proper screening criteria in the Boulder Valley Comp Plan Amendment Procedures

really part of the Comprehensive plan since its, initiation back in the 1970s

Motion to approve the list of community change requests recommended by staff in this memorandum for further consideration as part of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update

we gotta finish the comp plan, get that to mostly buttoned up stage

it would happen later in the year because of its logical sequencing after the comprehensive plan

I think we are thinking about that as it relates to some of the comp plan.

The comprehensive plan states that the city will actively pursue annexation of substantially developed area 2 properties

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, the water efficiency plan, and the community wildfire protection plan

I think the comp plan update is going to really establish um some new direction particularly as it relates to

the first priority in terms of area plans is actually fixing some of the older area plans

something that came across my LinkedIn feed today was that the Boulder Comprehensive Plan survey results came through

comprehensive plans by design and this comprehensive plan by design is an aspirational document

in site review one of our questions is consistency with the land use map

the vision that we are continuing to work towards as we move into this drafting phase and then ultimately the adoption of the plan

There were some good questions, linkage, obviously, to the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

maybe we can even link it to some of the broader, Boulder Valley, like, comprehensive Plan as well

staff finds that the rezoning is consistent with the policies and goals of the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

the Innovation TOD and Neighborhood TOD areas within the EBSP have all been given the MUTOD land use designation in the Comp Plan

where the city is doing its comprehensive plan process, right, which is a once every

one of the things planning board brought up was the area of change

how the proposed project to be financed with the district aligns with your comp plan

how some of these financing tools uh work with uh your uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is important

ADU update. Boulder Valley Comp Plan presentation… February, March

Yeah, so here's some things that Hav really thinks about. like, just supporting the Boulder Valley Comp Plan.

one of the values that is in the Boulder Valley Comp Plan.

action on proposed Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan BBCP land use map designation change on the 19 acre portion of the property west of 55th Street

the land use map changes can only be processed at certain times either through an update process of the boulevard comp plan

I do think the comp plan, as it's currently in draft form, does contemplate regional collaboration sort of broadly

So the updated comprehensive plan flood policy will cover these topics shown on the right.

That is the planning area that we are talking about, is this comp plan.

As well as the transportation goals, the Boulder Valley Comp Plan, and the Transportation Master Plan.

As well as the project's overall alignment with site review, access, transportation, and mobility criteria, the Transportation Master Plan, and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan policies

happy to see that it came up in the Boulder Valley comp plan and I would love to see a much stronger alignment

there is a real synergy between the Boulder Valley comp plan that really sets out this long-term vision

we heard a lot about needing to strengthen local food systems and that's also been a theme within the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

Following the comp plan, we will probably be looking at a 50-year planning horizon as opposed to a 20-year planning horizon.

We would like to update that plan with any policy changes that come out of the call plan update.

The planning is based on population and employment projections and policies that are set forth in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

the Boulder Valley Comp Plan Policy 2.27, which talks about preservation of historic resources

The proposed land use strategy and the comprehensive plan is designed to allow a broader mix

One of the items coming up in the new comp plan is allowing commercial uses in residential neighborhoods

In terms of the, comp plan land use, the land use designation for the site is General Industrial.

The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan designates the site as regional business, which is characterized by shopping, office, and financial uses with compatible housing.

The purpose of BVCP and its land use map, and of EBSP. Are to propose a landscape that meets the needs of the city we want to live in.

The next touchpoint for the board on the comprehensive plan will be in the November meeting

She's been following closely this Boulder Valley Comp Plan. generally coordinating with us as staff

It could be policy changes, or things associated with the comp plan.

So, let me tell you about the comprehensive plan. The comp plan is Boulder Valley's long-range vision.

And, a note that there are four adopting bodies for the Comprehensive plan.

We're transitioning now into the Boulder Valley Comp Plan. workshop, but

the citywide strategic plan, the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, uh the water efficiency plan

Some of the priorities and I can think of the Boulder Valley comp plan are going to be ongoing

our discussion last month about the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan priorities

kind of BVCP objectives, homing in on some specifics about those projects

our notes from our September discussion about the BVCP could be a good guide for a letter

I hope that you will consider supporting the policy change I have proposed for the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

survey that we had on the comp plan, which I found to be a very good survey.

I think it would be valuable for us to write a letter that very, very solidly links with the comprehensive plan update

I don't know if it was in BBC Policy 1.17, that discusses, and I don't have my

Pursuant to Boulder Valley Comp Plan Policy 117C, because the developed portion of the property is located in Area 2

The property is located in BVCP Planning Area 2. Area 2 refers to land that is now under county jurisdiction

We are still anticipating all these other items, so we have been asked for more time for the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

this was work that was happening in conjunction with the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

Question 3, is the project generally compatible with the goals, et cetera, of the BVCP?

I think it also fully satisfies the vision of community business and mixed-use business that we have in the BVCP

The BVCP land use designation for the site is split between community business on the northwest corner and mixed-use business

Those really are helping to inform the development of the Boulder Valley Comp Plan.

we'll start really high level here, what is a comprehensive plan, right?

being a major update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

I think it's helpful when we talk about increasing density near the,

Are we connecting fire, evacuation, and the way we build in the WUI with the comp plan process?

I also worry about having a comprehensive plan that doesn't have any direct language or direction around arts and culture

Well, it's Boulder Valley's long-range vision, and it's an aspirational guide for how our community will evolve over the next 20 years.

So, what we're hoping to do this evening is to give you a quick overview of the comp plan and the major update process

it's a vision document, um, but we have code language that says certain things need to be consistent with policies of the Comprehensive plan

I would say that the direction that the comp plan is going is this concept of

so there is a lot of policy in the current comprehensive plan around

we need the jobs housing balance implemented first as part of the comp plan

if the recommended CIP is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan and Related City Plans

I'm going to focus on BVCP criteria, and that our role includes, as a planning board

I was able to talk to you about the comprehensive plan as being a rare moment to be able to step back

So we use growth projections that are established in the comp plan, to

So the comprehensive plan sits at that 30,000 foot level, and it's a general guide that influences the work of most departments.

the next item on the agenda is an information item on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

there was so much specificity in the previous or, you know, current comprehensive plan that that became a challenge

bringing some of the comp plan ideas into a local transportation and mobility plan?

here's a quick overview of the discussion questions we have for you tonight. They're included in your memo, but we just want to remind you

I guess I would defer to other staff that might be a little more familiar with the comp plan updates that are going forward.

Historic and Cultural Preservation Plan outlines that preservation issues will be incorporated into the Comprehensive plan

So the two questions, again, are about questions about the approach to the comprehensive plan

are at a point within the comprehensive plan update where we are making the effort to do the rounds

As part of the comp plan update, we're asking the community

I do think that within the comprehensive plan, that there is room for us to point towards

So, where does the Boulder Valley Comp Plan fit within the larger planning context?

And these are some of the relevant BVCP policies. Relevant to the project.

So, the um the comprehensive plan just establishes the policy to allow those types of things to occur

Does city council support the preliminary concept for revisions to the comprehensive plan future land use designations

or the DDA, or the Boulder Valley Comp Plan, our SARE framework, right?

the relationship between Boulder Valley Comp Plan and the zoning

we had our Boulder Valley Comp Plan update last night at the City Planning Board

we have an update or presentation about, sorry, about the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

In this attempt to create more flexibility and simplicity. Are the lines on the map fuzzy at all.

recognizing that we're going to be accelerating the frequency in which we interact with you around the comprehensive plan

And I hope that eventually, like, using that kind of concept, we can also then better integrate, things like transportation and mobility into the BVCP

15-minute neighborhoods are actually already in our Boulder Valley comp plan.

which has been formed by the B Boulder Valley comprehensive plan to develop a community version or vision

future land use guidance map changes and policy changes are traditionally part of the overall comp plan update process

now at this third stage of the fourth stages of the Comp Plan

a lot of the really wonderful things about the city, um, have come just from having a really good plan to start with, like the Boulder Valley Comp plan

the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan process is, ongoing.

The proposal would require a Boulder Valley comprehensive plan land use map amendment as well as a reszoning from public to residential high-5.

are we going to be using this as one of our inputs to the comprehensive plan process

a big part of your next meeting is going to be talking about updates on the Boulder Valley comp plan.

Does not meet the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan 1.1 1 jobs versus housing for the quantification

I do believe this is consistent with our Bvcp calls of compact infill development

And do we have thoughts about consistency with Bvcp policies

we're going to be doing the comp plan and it seems like it seems likely that the final draft may come

I think the comp plan would be a place that you could do that

We don't have all the analysis and careful planning today to fully answer how changes in the comprehensive plan may trickle down

Our comprehensive plan, too, has a recommendation to try to infuse funkiness

It's actually remarkable timing and overlapping with the Comp plan

we also are working next to the Comp plan to both inform their policies and make sure that we're reflecting their policies

as we look into our comp planning process

added the notes and support in our comprehensive plan

This is still in the comp plan update this year.

You should be at least modestly familiar with the Boulder Valley Comp plan as it relates to transportation and land use planning.

vision and goals will really start to live up at that Boulder valley. Comprehensive plan, level and departmental strategic plans

That's the overarching, planning document for the city, and how it interacts with the region.

Well, the comprehensive plan needs to be updated to amend our policies to say, yes, we will.

I don't know if it falls under the Boulder Valley Comp plan

Homeownership within the city is consistent with Bvcp policies and a number a number of other city initiatives.

are the proposed annexation agreement amendments consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan policies of annexation

This is described in the Comp plan as characterized by a variety of housing types.

So the Comp plan is, it's updated every 10 years. But it takes a couple of years to update.

Vision outlined by the comprehensive plan, be carefully studied through the development of an integrated water supply plan

The comprehensive plan informs master plans for all 3 utilities, water, wastewater, and storm and flood.

there will be opportunities for community members to host gatherings, host their own virtual gatherings

this group has been interested in tracking the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

I often refer that to that, so that they can see how it fits in with that overall kind of like the comp plans

it would not materially affect the land use and growth projections that were the basis of the comprehensive plan.

they could either request to do it through the Comp plan update, which is kind of just now getting underway

Issue number one. I don't have any concerns with the land. Use map change.

So I encourage tab members and others to be involved in the comprehensive plan discussions as well

I would also encourage everyone to be involved in the comprehensive plan discussions that are going on this week.

the designation is in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, which sets a vision for future development

in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

He's asked to come get your feedback on the latest iteration of that of what the comprehensive plan update.

how it fits into the comprehensive plan and and conflict policies. Right? I think there's a lot of bigger pieces

provides an opportunity to balance the project's goals and priorities with policies outlined in citywide and departmental plans like the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

We also have a Bvcp and we have goals as a city, and we have goals as clearly stated in the Bvcp.

Staff found that the proposed Site Review Amendment is on balance consistent with the land use map and policies of the Bvcp.

The Bvcp designates the property. High density residential, which consists of attached residential units and complementary uses implemented through zoning

using what have been identified by you all as the appropriate criteria or the appropriate policies rather in the comprehensive plan

at the end of the day, sub community plans are a sub element or an extension of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

Comprehensive plans are by their very nature comprehensive. And as I often share with people

how we hold ourselves accountable to these overarching guides like the Bvcp

projects are preliminarily assessed for compliance with the Bvcp Land use designation and relevant goals and policies

So key issue one was, if the proposed concept plan is generally compatible with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

prioritizing conversations is part of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

and we anticipate that a version of that will continue in in the current comp plan

How we apply the Bvcp and area plans in a quasi-judicial process

So the Bbcp says, on page 21, subcommunity and area planning bridges

this first concept is focused on the comprehensive plans future land use map

my sense is most of that lives within the zoning code and in landers code, not within the comp plan

how many of these things are either restricted by the comp plan or there's just not any information in the comp plan

I mean, how would it relate to even the comprehensive plan?

it will be developed in close coordination with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update.

And certainly recommend that you participate in the comprehensive planning conversation.

the comprehensive plan is being updated, and we believe that the hips should be

we're in the middle of a citywide improvement to that comprehensive plan here in 2025

our water resources team will present on water supply planning and the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

as we look forward to the comp plan uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

a choice, so to speak, get like if the Comp plan is to preserve and protect.

It becomes us land use in boulder. It's and it's listed in the Comp plan, which you also saw the

And this is where we, as a city, call out our commitment to support and preserve manufactured housing and mobile home parks.

our landscaping code that's going through the process right now, our Boulder Valley Comp plan.

We have our healthy buildings roadmap. That is our item the Comp plan analysis update on August 14.

We participate in a lot of other policy items that are going to council. For example, the Comp plan.

The first is if the proposed concept plan is compatible with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan.

In terms of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, this property is designated light industrial.

For my part, I think housing could be appropriate at this location in support of BVCP goals around the jobs and housing balance

and that'll align with the Boulder Valley comp plan update as well.

Boulder Valley comp plan policies as you can see on the left here and these are really the foundation

It will closely align with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan Update, helping develop the policies

it'll be used to inform the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update and incorporated in department work

The strategy will be used to inform the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and more specific actions will be included in department work plans

the previous project for experiments in public art related to the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan was an illustrator

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is creating a community assembly.

I'm gonna tell you about the Boulder Valley community or comprehensive plan update because we had a call for entry open.

water supply planning and the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

gathering at the Boulder Valley Comp plan at the East Boulder Rec Center um last weekend

but it's part of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

these Boulder Valley comprehensive plan uh policies are relevant to this application

I am very interested in seeing the ways that um our a footprint can show up in our Boulder Valley comp plan

between the Boulder Valley comp plan the community and so again I'm just curious if there had been any consideration

And then we are guided by the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

updating the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which really serves as the the guiding document for the city.

And that was just done recently for the comprehensive plan.

This is part of our experiments in Public Art series that is going specifically with the comprehensive plan.

thinking about this project in terms of a different plan. And that's the Bvcp.

I agree with the staff analysis that this project is, on the whole, consistent with the Bvcp.

Comprehensive plan policy. 2.2 7 of the Comp. Plan states that the city and county will identify, evaluate, and protect

If the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and if the proposed designation would generally be in the public interest.

and in balance is not consistent with the goals and policies of section 227 of the Boulder Valley.

It's important to note that the 15 min Neighborhood Concept has been and continues to be a conversation in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update.

the projects alignment with transportation goals of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and the transportation Master Plan,

I'd like to comment on the impressive lack of reasonable feedback opportunities on the boulder comprehensive plan

very much to be um part of the comprehensive plan process so that rather than being

is good timing in advance of the comp plan update so so we do anticipate utilizing the research

the proposal meets the sustainable urban forum definition found in the 2015 Boulder Valley Comp plan

The Site review criteria as well as Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

while also building on visioning and policies associated with the Boulder Valley comprehensive Plan update

first of all comp plan update it's going to be a really good opportunity to Define what we want out of those commercial centers

first of all the comp plan update that it's going to be a really good opportunity to Define what we want out of those commercial centers

We're doing redoing the Boulder Valley Comp plan this year, which are the values and aspirations for the city.

projects that they're introducing to the comprehensive plan

we have done a ton of also tabling at different comp plan events

if we were going to get some feedback on what the better use of land might be in the comprehensive plan

this could be a good topic to discuss during the comprehensive plan process

I know we talked about maybe it belongs in the Boulder Valley comp plan process.

this would be more about like a question I have as going into the Boulder Valley comp plan

Valle comprehensive plan can uses be ever considered based on the plan

the site review standards that require consistency with subcommunity plans and the bould valley comprehensive plan

So I agree with the staff analysis that this project is consistent on the whole, with the Bvcp.

the path there is to kind of be involved in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

the comprehensive plan update is coming forward this year

It does not become a legislative document where like you have to meet something unless that's adopted by the code.

Implementation of the comprehensive plan And by that, I also mean the extension of any subcommittee plans.

The plan is intended to be used as future land use, future goals for an area, but existing zoning is really very important

the big ideas and trade-off conversations as part of that comprehensive plan

The Boulder Valley comprehensive plan has a portion of things where experiments in public art is sort of dovetailing

we have been very lucky to collaborate with the comprehensive plan.

now I want to talk a little bit about alignment with city goals and the alignment with the Boulder Valley Comp plan

The proposal also made several Bbcp policies, such as 2.0 3 compact development pattern through its redevelopment of an existing property

the next large public event relative to the Comp plan update, then, is in February

in the Boulder Valley Comp plan, there are areas identified that are within city limits

potentially coupling that with a check in on the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and how that might relate to water

Comprehensive plan update is really beginning in earnest this year

in 2025, the city is initiating a major update to the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

that could be an important part of the conversation for the comprehensive plan

this project also implements a ton of different policies in our Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

The current planning conversations are revolving around the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

the connection that this will make with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan that's being updated right now

like that be incorporated into the Boulder Valley Comp plan

I have a question given that the Boulder Valley Comp plan is in the process of being revisited or revised

We actually would have had to amend the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and use map to ultimately make this conversion

the sort of phase in which the Comp plan is being updated is still very much the community input.

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan. We've discussed this in the past.

it would likely also fulfill community needs related to Bvcp policies regarding populations with special needs

whether the proposed concept plan is consistent with the Boulder Valley Comp plan, land, use map

This proposal is consistent with the policies of the Bvcp.

we're not seeing any changes to um housing density over what's already allowed in the comprehensive plan right

in this case is still within the the um limits of the current comp plan

connects into other more planning specific plans like the Boulder Valley Comp plan as an example

there's gonna be a lot of discussion in 2025 around the Comp plan

Land use change which is timely, as the Comp. Plan is being updated in 2025.

if the proposed concept plan is compatible with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Bvcp.

In terms of the Bvcp. This lot is designated light industrial. It allows for light industrial uses

the Comp plan is very, very explicit in what they, what kind of specific things you have to do within the Comp plan

a graphic that shows the interface or hierarchy of this plan with respect to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the coordination with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and the engagement that's taking place there

the city's sustainability equity and resilience framework the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and our local landscape

The playback theater is something we've talked about in relation to the strategic comprehensive plan update for the Boulder county

are you referring to a boulder Valley comp plan policy, or to a site review criterion

whether the proposed project is consistent with the Site Review criteria, including findings related to consistency with Bvcp policies

I think this plan is largely consistent with the Bvcp

a lot of what will be the focus of the comprehensive plan are going to be driven by feedback from Council

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan sets the community's core values and long-term Vision

the comprehensive plan establishes that most broad umbrella and policy Direction

Urban agriculture will be a topic of discussion as part of the comp plan

I think it's very um fortunate that the comp plan will uh be kicking off and uh their reach

plug into the community engagement efforts and popups with the comp plan and kind of piggyback on that

we are going to dovetail with the uh major update to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

This also, this ordinance before you tonight also aligns with many of our comprehensive plan policies

next year, as you know, will be Comp plan, update year.

maybe this is something that can be considered through the Bvcp update and looks like you folks were thinking that, anyway

We were trying to keep it below 50%, so that we meet the Comp plan to stay predominantly detached.

So should we make those make changes to the Boulder Valley Comp plan in those intensity standards in those zones.

So we find that the content of the ordinance is consistent with a number of Bvcp policies as we've outlined within the memo.

by incorporating the need study into the comprehensive plan it gives us an opportunity

the community need study of how we will actually do that work as part of the comp plan update

how this plugs into the overall comp plan update is that again the planning Reserve would be one option

And the Comp plan stuff, too, because we're overlapping with some partners in that which is really great.

Everything that we're proposing in the ordinance is has to be found consistent with the Current Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

if the Bvcp process, the process outlined in the Bvcp were different

as part of the 2025 major update to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan following the public

attended the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, Kickoff, and I just think it was really inspiring

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which is going to be in its almost 50th year of existence

Everyone's always citing, you know, you're always citing the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

has been identified and flagged in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan as a potential area of future urban expansion

do we want to have primary input into this massive, comprehensive plan for the community

I went through 2 comprehensive plans in 5 in. In the time that I was on the planning board.

we decided okay we're not going to try to initiate a service here expansion this comp plan go around

as part of the comp plan update to be completed in mid 2026

the community need study would occur concurrent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive Plan update

that'll happen throughout the next 2 years, so that we are just embedded with the Comp plan effort

It's also connected to the comprehensive plan effort.

I do encourage you to participate in the Comp plan. Outreach. That's already started up.

process subcommittee for the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan so just a reminder that this is not

I move that planning board recommends that the Boulder Valley comp plan update process consider ways to improve the consistency and Equity

would people be interested in a recommendation that is part of the B Val comp plan update that be examined

The 1st step is to state comprehensive plan update outreach.

that is mostly tied into the update of the comprehensive plan.

there are four bodies that will ultimately uh review and need to approve the same uh comprehensive plan version approximately eight months from now

the discussion and appointment ointment of a council representative for the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan that is referenced as bvcps subcommittee

the roll call for the boulder Valley comp comp plan update we'll start with Council

27 of the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan as a condition of approval prior to approval of the demolition application

the proposed designation shall be consistent with goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

If the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the board will have an opportunity to weigh in on updates to the Boulder Valley Comp plan

I would put the Comp plan engagement on there

This is a major update of the comprehensive plan. It's going to have a look at not only zoning and land use regulation

we talked a little bit last time about the possible interaction between the Comp plan and this improvement district concept.

I was at the Boulder Valley comp plan um initiation gathering this week

also B Val comp plan um policy 6.01 all mode transportation system 6.02 Equitable Transportation

Boulder Valley comp plan 2.2 role of Central Area the role of the

I mentioned in the beginning, based on public comment, that we have the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

I also wanted to talk a bit about the Boulder Valley Comp plan, and the issues of water didn't come up at all.

there was actually a kickoff event this week for the this weekend for the comprehensive plan, as that will be a big work item for city staff

such as the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and the economic Vitality strategies

like with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan that are more inclusive of the many different people

I think that we are losing the diversity of housing types that the comprehensive plan says that we should be protecting

forget that part of our both Boulder Valley comp plan and plans in general um to encourage Innovation

the existing Boulder Valley comp plan since 2015 already has called for quote higher density development that incorporates a substantial amount of affordable housing

There's a number of policies that this project aligns with in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

A lot of other communities that have done this do have more direct, like comprehensive plan guidance that says eliminate the parking requirements

obviously we have the Boulder Valley comp plan update so obviously there's some synergies already happening

these uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan policies are relevant to this application uh which include protecting sites with cultural or architectural value

the third part of the criteria asks whether the designation is in balance with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan

As well as the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

But that's not really what the Boulder Valley Comp plan is intended to do

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan didn't have much of a climate action plan

So the Boulder Valley Comp plan really sets that high level visions

One is the proposal generally compatible with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Bvcp.

As such there are 2 Bvcp land use designations. The 1st one is high density residential

The proposed project will meet the Boulder Valley comp plan goals of compatible development pattern.

600,000 in one-time funding to support the uh Boulder Valley comprehensive Plan update

since the area 3 is been considered as part of the updated comp plan

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and our internal city-wide strategic plan are all going to partner

The proposed project is consistent with the Bbcp land use, map, and on balance with the goals and policies of the Bvcp.

the proposal does meet our Bvcp policies and our Site Review criteria in terms of the Bvcp

with regards to our Boulder Valley compreh comprehensive plan engagement

as well as the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan so there's going to be more more engagement

it's an aspiration in our Boulder valley. Comp. Plan to have there be a balance between the the jobs in the housing.

this speaks to the Boulder Valley Comp plan has a aspiration of a jobs housing balance

So the Boulder Valley Comp plan. Do we have a plan? If, when we're gonna kind of look at the housing portion

taking a look at it as more of a strategic document that springs out of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

it also supports the comp plan's affordable housing goals by authorizing a waiver of unbundled parking requirement

staff finds of the project is consistent with the Boulder Valley comp plan land use map and on balance with the goals and policies

is that really what our bold Valley comp plan says I don't think so

that's going to be built on the great outcomes of the updated comprehensive plan

that led to the 70s uh where the very first Boulder Valley comprehensive plan was established

this is going to be a project that follows a half a step behind the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

we also look for policy, direction, and strategy from the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, as well as the one boulder framework

We'll be mindful of overlaps with other projects. For instance, like I said, the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan update

And that would clearly not be consistent with the Bvcp.

So it does set density maximums in the Bvcp. But it talks about it being more of an average across an area.

our guidance comes predominantly from the Boulder Valley Commerative plan, which sets the vision for the city in a number of different areas

Sub community plans are one of our tools that are intended to take the broad goals and policies of the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan

the Cp is meant to support and advance the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan planning priorities

Boulder Valley comp plan indiscriminate type things you know like people need space

if it's on balance with the Boulder Valley comp plan policies and so I want to be

the sit's comp plan land use designation is high density residential

we're in conversation with comprehensive planning right now about actually embedding it very deeply

I thought we were going to simplify the Boulder Valley Comp plan

Also, again, underneath the Boulder Valley Comp plan, in the desire to move away from individual departmental master plans

We'll have some information kind of a pre-launch opportunity for the comprehensive plan update

is the cip consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan

this is in alignment with Bvcp. 6.2 3, which says that at the time of the next airport master plan

And we got our eyes on the belly Comp plan start putting pathways in, because right now they aren't there.

Well, the only thing I want to put on the table is that we are starting the Boulder Valley Comp plan update.

It mentioned the Comp plan updates and the schedule for that.

The Bvcp land use map change is proposed to Update the existing land use map designation from public to Mxr.

This requires review of State statutes and Bvcp. Policies.

this proposal involves 2 review processes which are the Bvcp land use map change and the annexation

there is a state requirement that there be a water component of uh comprehensive plans

all of that will get us to a draft update of the comp plan which we will take through an adoption process

the purpose of this phase of work is to take a deep dive into our comp plan policies

these were high level policy decisions that were determined through comprehensive plans. Oftentimes cities were simply implementing

So we would use those Boulder Valley comprehensive plans, policies the Tmp. The transportation master plan policies.

bear in mind the Comp plan won't get adopted until a year and a half later. and so it was their interest

a bbcp or the comp plan land use change for the property from manufactured housing to medium density residential

updating the bbcp land use map um and that will be done as part of a comp plan major update

next big discussion with council on the Valley Comp plan Update.

in relation to the the conversation that we're starting about the Bvcp update

align the subcommunity plan with the current Bvcp Land use designation based on CIO recommendation

I just want to commend both this comprehensive plans, planning division team

we do this to maintain um aspirational goals for a desired future with at least a 15-year time Horizon

this is really an opportunity for our staff to share a bit of an overview of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

tonight we'll be providing an overview of what comprehensive plans are in general why they're done

and our goal is to help develop a foundational understanding of the Bvcp

Or are they doing their own comprehensive plans?

throughout my career I've heard mostly criticisms, but observations of comprehensive plans as

The Bvcp. I think, is a masterpiece, and it was unanimously adopted by the Council and the county.

Staff found the proposal was consistent with the Bvcp.

The Bvcp or Boulder Valley comp plan states that adequate urban facilities and services are a prerequisite for new development.

the comp plan requires neighborhood parks and it it specifically calls out developed Parkland

was formalized and incorporated into the comp plan in 1995 and it's identified in the plan as the portion of area three

a lot of what will be coming in the Boulder Valley comp plan

the gross and net density are actually very much in line with what the Comp plan says.

Boulder Valley Comp plan sort of one on one.

But the Comp plan does say that it's a predominantly single family detached character.

whether the designation is in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan looking at those two code sections

bridge the gap between our land use designations within the comprehensive plan, which are very, very broad

the update to the comprehensive plan is going to be kicking off this fall

The comprehensive plan land use map was also updated to better align with the vision.

more of a discretionary review to understand is it consistent with the comp plan

that has both the MU tood land use designation within the comprehensive plan

take the mixed juice uh future land use designations from the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

we started this work before we embarked on the bbcp comp plan update but the community assembly was

the Boulder Valley comp plan update so again I know that we the the team that the staff is already working on the process for engagement on that plan

there's several policies that are supported with this these ordinance changes from built environment and economy policies

I think it's a good time as we get into the update of the comprehensive plan, which is going to be kicking off

the update of the Bowl Valley. Comprehensive plan the Civic Area master plan as well our own affordable

It does nicely address a lot of the policies of the BBC.

I do think this overall project is in line. I think if you redeem the tbap literally.

Does anybody have questions about the transportation master plan or the comp plan? Well, in the monitoring bit.

The Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan. That work is getting advanced because there is an interest in talking about that area.

Comprehensive plan is a shared document between the city of Boulder and Boulder County, and it governs land use in our community.

It's very hard to sync like the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan, a city wide strategic plan, park plans to get them all perfectly lined up.

since we are going to be moving into um some big planning items particularly the boulder comprehensive plan

I was really surprised about how much consensus there was that focusing on the Boulder Valleycom plan

The comp plan, prompted, was actually accelerated slightly. So it's actually some of it's gonna begin this year.

there's 4 bodies that are tasked with administering the comprehensive plan

the Bull Valley comprehensive plan is queued up for city council to talk about

the goals as aign to the greater sah framework the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and subc commmunity and area plans

overall staff found the proposal consistent with the Site Review criteria, including with the underlying Bvcp.

So moving to the Bvcp Land use designation. This site and surrounding areas are designated high density residential.

I'm especially excited about portions of the Bvcp. Where we are doing a mix of compatible uses at this site.

So this work is going to be moving into the update to the Boulder Valley Comp plan

whether those two code criteria sections are are in balance with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which provides a general statement

could potentially be outside of the current Boulder Valley comp plan to make sure that is um a part of the update

so this will advance the timeline of uh the comp plan update to uh complete uh during 2026

the comp plan talks about the area having a Max density of 20 dwelling units per acre

our comp plan was even updated in 2020 took an approach to the city where it did label certain areas

you can look in the bbcp and see that we have a number of different land use designations

So when and when you're talking about Boulder Valley Comp plan, it's very lofty kind of things

The first one was, if the proposal was generally compatible with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

start to meet the values of the Boulder Valley Comp plan, and how we want our neighborhoods

in balance with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

In regard to whether this proposal is in balance aligned with the goals of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

has been memorialized in multiple planning documents, including the comp plan

Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan update. Completing in 2,026.

But just speaking to the comprehensive plan, are laws or refinement of laws, so ordinances of the budget.

it sounds like there's already some considerations after the update to the Comp plan where there's an opportunity there

Just wanted to make sure that those work plan items include are inclusive of all of the different plans that they're related to.

my number one priority is making sure we focus on the comprehensive plan update to make major changes in it

We also found that it meets several Boulder Valley comp plan goals and policies.

One is whether the project is consistent with the Site review criteria including on balance with Boulder Valley comprehensive plan policies.

and I don't know if we can condition our way through that, because you know, it's a Bvcp policy and it.

I think going in favor of the comprehensive plan, and not supporting more vehicle miles traveled is important thing to take into consideration here.

So we're about to do like a big boulder Valley comp plan it would this impact that at all?

the initial zoning of public is consistent with the comp plan goals

the application is also consistent with the other annexation policies described in the comprehensive plan

the comp plan provides a framework for annexation and urban service provision within the city

I think that was our rationale and applying the comp plan so to the extent that's helpful.

So under characteristics of the Rb, it calls for street activation and mix of uses being encouraged.

would be extremely helpful for the comprehensive plan updates going forward so we are not going wrong here at all

much of this vision is outlined in the Bolder Valley comprehensive plan which guides policy and everything from land use

the plan was adopted by both city council and the planning board who also approved changes to the comprehensive plans land use map

according to the Boulder Valley comp plan this site is listed as a neighborhood center subject to the following Neighborhood Center guiding

be inconsistent with several comp plan policies related to the built environment including 2.33 sensitive infill and Redevelopment

if we're not changing. Comprehensive plan need a link. I think they know it? Well, that's something

and in balance is not consistent with the goals and policies of section 2 point 2 7 of the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan

The Comp plan does not speak specifically to designation over an owner's objection.

the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

key issue number 2, Bvcp policies is the proposal consistent with cities, annexation and other Boulder Valley Comp plan policies

in terms of zoning. If a property is annexed, then the city zoning would be established consistent with the goals

Land may be considered for annexation if it complies with State annexation, statutes, and the policies of Boulder Valley

I don't want to tie to the Bbcp update. I want it to happen before that.

Bvcp Update, consider additional land, use description revisions as a possible tool to catalyze more diverse dwelling types

If I had my druthers I'd limit our letter to 3 items housing, affordability, zoning in Boulder Valley comp plan

due to their Boulder Valley comprehensive plan designation as open space other

recognizing that we moved into developing uh the Boulder Valley comp plan The Guiding principles for how the CU South property

We're looking at the existing land uses which in the Bvcp Land use designations.

That isn't necessarily part of the Boulder Valley Comp plan

But that program was kind of constricted by the boundaries of the Bvcp.

the comprehensive plan as I mentioned is something that Council will weigh in on but I did include this in the memo

And in 2025 specifically bubbled around a comprehensive plan.

The Sarah framework is the guiding document that sits under the comp plan.

But you know that that could be very powerful, including the Comp plan, because, again, that this is a 10 year opportunity that we have coming up next year

just speaking to the Boulder Valley Comp plan. I think that the neighborhood compatibility we heard a lot of input

we have related to the Bvcp policies, including affordability, is on balance. Does it meet the Bvcp goals and objectives?

yeah, that's that's a good question, and it is primarily the. It's the Bvcp policies that I was looking at again.

the board was split on the extent to which the project was consistent with Boulder Valley comprehensive plan goals

we do match the LR designation on the comp plan and we are contiguous to LR

the property is located in uh the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan planning area 2 area 2 refers to land now under County jurisdiction

there will be a public process around the update of the comprehensive plan

filter into the comprehensive plan and then the comprehensive plan informs a lot of these other underlying things

I would say most comprehensive plans do not put in specific projects like that

So the state legislation that requires at least counties to have comprehensive plans

Consistency with the the bullet comp plan and the land use map is a requirement.

consistency with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and other ordinances, goals, policies, and plans, including without limitations, sub community plans and sub area plans.

meet the Boulder Valley Comp plan landings start with start with a given rather than everything is off the table.

City Council will weigh whether the designation is in balance with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

So the criteria for review we have the language in the Boulder revised code. We're guided by the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

Across departments into the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan, the sustainability, equity, and resilience framework

support our comprehensive planning office to ensure that cultural culture and creativity are part of area planning and comp and the comprehensive plan

Guiding document and the zoning is the supporting document.

So key issue number one, the BVCP is our guiding document and as such

does the project aligned with BVCP goals for neighborhood centers

we started to look at where the Boulder Valley comp plan was uh forecasting growth in the future

look at the suite of code adoption that is coming forward with an eye towards the boulder Belly Comp plan, which is being updated in 2 years.

Within that we have the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, which is our long term vision for how our community will develop over the years.

and then, of course, that all is kind of under the umbrella of the Boulder Valley Comp plan

the amendments to the bould valley comp plan map related to The voer Junction phase two area is hereby approved

does not materially affect the basis of the comprehensive plan meaning that it is consistent with bbcp policies

for the updates to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan land use map

as it stands, this is not consistent with the Boulder Valley Comp plan

So the first question is the proposal consistent with Boulder Valley comp plan.

Historic preservation is one of the tenants outlined as a city value in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

It could be done through the comp plan revision potentially.

Preparing for what's next in the Boulder comprehensive plan, 2025, you know, we keep getting this.

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan basically promised that at the time of the next airport master plan update

this will do more than contradict the boulder comprehensive plan it will force us

given um our um plan to renew our comprehensive plan in just a year or two

I think it's pretty clear that. We're in the area too and the RL 2 zoning makes sense.

1.1 3 definition of comprehensive planning areas it is located with an area 2 so that's kind of a no-brainer.

does the project on balance meet the relevant goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

would the Bvcp look any different other than the land use map

if the proposed change is on balance, consistent with the policies and overall intent of the comprehensive plan and tvap

And if we take a look at the criteria that's established in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan we have guidance on.

what I support overall is a much better Boulder Valley comp plan

there's a number of different goals and policies in the comprehensive plan that this ordinance helps support and implement

it's really trying to align the use table with those adopted comprehensive plan policies

they're narrowly tailored based on our comp plan there's flexibility

whether it is meeting the goals of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is I think where

well is it consistent with the B Valley comp plan or not

Another thing we talked about is the forthcoming, minor update to the older rally comp plan.

talk about how to count line works, how it can be updated and areas where we might be influential

anticipate having recommendations to City Council for you know, updates to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

If it doesn't already through the Boulder Valley Comp plan, then there should be an evaluation of that.

they were all Guided by the boulder uh Valley comprehensive plan our transportation master plan and climate action plan as well

your feelings on the project's consistency with the Tnt and with the comp plans, transportation policies

Staff finds that they've done a pretty good job of addressing the Boulder Valley Comp plan and transportation master plan goals.

is the proposed project generally consistent with the transportation goals of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the first key question is the proposed concept plan compatible with the Boulder Valley comp plan

the BVCP, the Lot 3D is designated light industrial that allows for light industrial uses

the BVCP is clear that this will take something more than just staff approving an application

we are also asking Council to consider an amendment to chapter 5 of the bvcp

figure can we crack that nut ahead of a comp plan revision

as I mentioned we have a comprehensive Plan update coming in 2025

if I were interpreting, for example, the Comp plan, when it talks about on-site open spaces under policy 2.4

Yes, I think it does meet the requirements for boulder belly to comp plan

Designation for the site is medium density residential, which is described here as being characterized by a variety of housing types

So that's looking at the land use map updates as part of the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

or the Comp plan was updated to basically allow more mixed use and allow more housing, but also try to preserve industrial uses.

You could also make a recommendation that this be considered in the Bvcp update?

I understand that the Boulder Valley comp plans density, intensity standard is what's guiding this

it would have to be done first through a comp plan update process, and then the zoning would have to follow after.

So when is the next older valley comp plan? Revisit. It starts in 2025.

because the Comp plan puts it in the same category as Rl. One, we're proposing 7,500 square feet per unit.

But there was support for that type of process when we moved into updating the Comp plan in the future.

amendments to Chapter 5 of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan to revise the summary of Transit Village Area Plan

Motion to adopt proposed amendments to Chapter 5 of the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan to revise the summary

does the city council find that the proposed ordinance implements the adopted policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

without following baldler Valley comp plan and it's egregious

this project is translating that comprehensive plan to how do we implement that through zoning

So I think the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan encourages and wants to reward and wants to support good

this ordinance tonight is aligning the use table and the permitted uses with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan goals and policies

from our Transition master Plan to our climate action plan to our Boulder Valley Comp Plan

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan highlights the importance of a diverse

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan calls out the rising cost of commercial space

I take your point that in the Bvcp and in the be the Boulder Valley Regional Center guidelines.

we put them on paper, we put them in the Comp plan.

yes, the land use designation and Bvcp is Lr. Low density residential, which is compatible with surrounding properties.

the policies on the Comp plan that talk about the city pursuing aggressively annexations in area to to get people off of well and septic

specifically, BBC policies related to annexation limits on expansion and the growth requirements.

translating the goals and policies that are in the comprehensive plan to the actual you know where

this comes from the comprehensive plan it's actually something that's been in in some version

this module is really focused on aligning the use table with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

I think this is well within the purview of the city's comprehensive plan

This is a great opportunity to do what it says in the bolt of rally comprehensive plan

if I were to explain the difference between the 2, I you know, looking at the Boulder valley. Comprehensive plan descriptions.

the key elements under core values of our adopted comprehensive plan is a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community

we feel that what is in the ordinance would would move forward on a number of different Bvcp policies relating to adding housing.

consistent with the intent of the low density. Residential land use designation and the Comp. Plan

in order to rezone the property the rezoning must be consistent with the policies and goals of the Boulder Valley comp plan

supported a targeted update to the North Boulder sub-community plan and a subsequent Amendment to the Boulder Valley comp plan land use designations

key issue number three is whether the council feels that on balance this project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comp plan

Is this part of a leading into a comprehensive plan?

and is consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

notes that there are identified potential historic districts within the comp plan.

The proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

All designation to the Boulder Valley Comp plan. So I think maybe I would benefit from the hearing

is it compatible to Boulder Valley or on Mouse the Boulder valley? Comprehensive plan.

unless we are willing to say that it does not on balance meet the Bvcp

is the proposed project generally consistent with the transportation goals of the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

as well as the projects alignment with the transportation goals of the Walter Valley comprehensive plan and the transportation master plan.

and the creation of a jobs housing imbalance and does not agree with the Bola Valley comp plan

the Boulder Valley comp plan land use designation for the site is community business

consistent with the policies and goals of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and for an application

and it meets enough of the Bbcp policies that I will say that

something from the site review. That's not. That's not comp plan.

The Bvrc is defined in the Butter Valley comprehensive plan as a high, intensive regional commercial center

you know um I think it's important to to recognize that the comprehensive plan is is so named

it seems like the comp plan is what is holding us back from meeting the needs of our community

whether what kind of things could we do without having to to update the the bvcp

under the current um current uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan land use category that applies in this area

this is a new bvcp land use designation that was recently adopted during the East Boulder subcommunity plan

doesn't meet the Boulder Valley comp plan in terms of our general design standards

the typical review criteria and focusing on the policy considerations in the bbcp

that the property based on the code and based on the BVCP. Did not meet the criteria.

in balance is not consistent with the goals and policies of section. 2.2 7 of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

Alignment with the the balancing between the the city's code and the comprehensive plan

the bvcp land use designation for the site is community business

Okay, I thought that the Comp plan just shows the area.

Additional information about the consistency with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan is found in the Staff Memo.

So in terms of consistency with the Bvcp staff, finds that the proposed rezoning is on balance consistent with the BBC goals and policies.

the ordinance does help to implement several policies in our Boulder Valley comprehensive plan related to the built environment and housing

in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan there's a section in there that says we will evaluate the airport ahead of the next

The Bvcp Land use designation of the site is community business. This is described in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

Comprehensive plan has provisions for studying hazardous areas

if the Nobel plan in bbcp designations were updated they would likely support a rezoning

key issue 2 was considering Boulder Valley comp plan and nobo plan goals and policies

in terms of the Boulder Valley comp plan land use designation there are actually three designations

They supported any kind of process that might go into the next Bvcp. Update to really re envision some areas of the city

I don't remember how many of those parcels have the capacity to put 2 or more units without changing Boulder Valley Comp plan minutes

Follow the boulder, Call Valley comp plan, follow it to the T.

the city should do what we said we would do in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan.

and You know we've we've identified, you know, in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan.

the whole planning board has been trying to uplift Bvcp. 6.2, 3, which says that at the time of the next airport master

I would point to policy 7.0, 2 affordable housing goals, 7.0, 7 mixture of housing types

does the planning board find that the proposed ordinance implements, the adopted policies of the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

because the comp plan doesn't cap the density in those areas we can actually work on changing the zoning

it would require um us to re-look at the bvcp at the policy level first

you all are familiar with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan uh it's a document that is adopted by ordinance

the land use code that we work with every day is implementing the the the Comp plan

But could that be changed in the next comp plan? Update?

It's updated every 5 years, so it'd be like 2,025. This is our next update.

it is on balance consistent with the policies of of the Multi Valley comprehensive plan

I think that we have to update both, though the Nova plan and the and the comp plan

is the proposed concept plan preliminarily consistent with the goals objectives and recommendations of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

working together with plans such as the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and the Tmp

and we operate under the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan, and this is the city, sustainability, equity, resilience, framework

in terms of getting that done prior to the comprehensive Plan update

preparing the Boulder Valley comp plan land use plan amendments regulatory updates

In a 100 years this building is going to be surrounded with housing, so it has no right to go up t0 45 feet.

So in terms of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, Landy's designation, the landing designation for this site is light, industrial.

So now this this question that we're confronted with is about the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan. and so sure in concept.

entire comp plan process instead the city should take a forward-looking strategy to this proposed development by incorporating it

annexation is the discretionary act by the city and annexation should not be taken lightly and should get formed to the Boulder Valley comp plan

even plan bouldering their letter dated December 6 2022 recommends this development be part of the bvcp in 2025

It was identified in the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan to do a study to look at neighborhood serving uses at the airport.

So the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and our transportation master Plan provide the policy framework by which city

we put guard rails into the language for example talking about any changes that we might support

as well as environmental issues as already relayed within the older comprehensive plan document

it has to be narrowly targeted to further the goals of the comp plan

policy in the in the PVC. P. One dot 1, 7, E.

The comprehensive plan provides a framework for annexation and urban service provisions within the city.

is the proposed concept plan preliminarily consistent with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Bvcp

they felt it was too limiting um that it didn't apply all the the bvcp policies as the current version does

the comprehensive plan though does specifically say that industrial uses should be in proximity to Transit

this really pulls from policy 2.21 from the comprehensive plan and those three guiding principles

I think at the last tab meeting we did talk about the whole notion of how zoning policies fit into all this, and according to that comp plan

comp plans end up being more restrictive than maybe we intended them to be

If it's specified in the Comp plan, a density limit that's gonna be more challenging to like change.

any sort of change to single family. Zoning is really a comprehensive plan. Issue.

I think that we are also looking back at a Boulder Valley Comp Plan Community Survey.

the ask for this came out of the Boulder Valley comp plan update in 2020 from section 6.23

the current effort that is being carried out will provide a valuable context to our community conversations building on the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

that really what we're looking at is is the comp plan and to make sure that the zoning is compatible

finding the change consistent with the policies as well as overall intent of the comprehensive plan

within the bvcp framework the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan the site is part of one of the regional centers

and in balance is not consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan.

the sixth criteria for your consideration is that in balance the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

On reviewing it against the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan.

the Boulder Valley Comp plan and its land use maps never has those kinds of studies

for those studies to be carried out and completed before their considered in the Update of the older Valley Comp plan

The proposed project is consistent with the Bvcp land use map and on balance with the goals and policies of the Bvcp

we typically shy away from specific references to the Comp plan

was to change it to consistency with the Boulder Valley Comp plan

the bvcp designated the property as public and not Industrial Boulder City code prohibits manufacturing

it's truly meant to be an implementation of the adopted comprehensive plan

trying to better align the use table with the Boulder Valley comp plan goals and policies

I have no problem with changing the use

if you read the comp plan right you could design any kind of city you want out of that Comp plan

my perception is that this does not agree at present with the boulder Valley

speaking of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which is supposed to be used by the city of Boulder and Boulder County

the land use code zoning Um uh, the comprehensive plan that stand in our way to doing some of these things

both the Boulder Valley comp plan and the Boulder County comp plan clearly State the environmental significance of the marsh

considered in terms of the bvcp land use the properties designated as public or semi-public which anticipates uses

the comp plan provides a framework for annexation and urban service provision within the city

we ultimately will need to make land use map changes to the comprehensive plan

absolutely is is the guiding document that will drive a lot of our decision making

those land uses that are proposed are unfortunately not directly linked to the land uses within the comprehensive plan

it does present some challenges when it comes to consistency with the land you with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the comprehensive plan wants these restrictions are applied holistically and not on a per lot basis

I also wanted to touch on a couple of questions I had that kind of came up around land use and the comprehensive plan

is the proposed concept plan consistent with the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Boulder Valley Comp plan

it says that to be eligible for a land use map change the proposed change is on balance consistent with the policies and overall intents of the comp plan

Nor was the need for housing not anticipated at the time of the most recent adoption of the Bbcp.

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan identifies the need for an annexation particularly or residential to provide Community benefit

this could potentially go into things like our comprehensive plan or other matters um that we deal with on a daily basis

represents a reasonable balance between private property rights and the public's interest, and is consistent with the Boulder Valley.

if the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the changes should meet the criteria described in the comp plan

first an amendment to the comprehensive plan which will add a summary of the East Boulder sub-community plan

item number three is the consideration of a motion to amend chapter five of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

incorporated into the next round of the Boulder Valley comp plan

the description or the naming of these uh of these land use coordinate categories is unfortunately not aligned with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

implement the Boulder Valley comprehensive plans for all the work that we do within our comprehensive planning Division

the proposal does not meet the energy and climate goals or Transportation goals of bvcp

consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive land use designation since the IG zoning

it's really just the bvcp summary language and so I do have a slide with that on there

and is considered consistent with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan.

If the proposed designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

and in balance is not consistent with the goals and policies of Section two point, two, seven of the volt.

reactions in conjunction with the major update to the comprehensive plan

are really to align the use table better with the boulder valley comprehensive plan

i don't know why we would not encourage conversation about any uh policy in the comp plan

there was also some concern about uh devaluing the comp plan itself

the zoning that we designate must be consistent with the comp plan the boulder valley comprehensive plan

the annexation must also meet the policies of the boulder valley comprehensive plan

as set forth in the comp plan there are economic and environmental and social benefits when we annex

approve the changes to the parks and recreation master plan summary within the boulder valley comprehensive plan

5a is the consideration of a motion to accept the 2022 boulder parks and recreation master plan and approve the boulder valley comprehensive plan known as the bvcp

with the also exception of the approval of the amendment of the master plan summary and the boulder valley comprehensive plan

as far as as the boulder valley comprehensive plan goes and policy 2.28

and it is you know consistent with the um you know the boulder valley comprehensive plan

so the bbcp recognizes the site as part of a neighborhood center and oftentimes we're here discussing centers

bvcp policy on the jobs to housing balance does not offer a strategy that would cap a number of jobs

we evaluated all of those ideas for alignment with the bvcp alignment with other city master plans and strategy documents

the lighter bars represent acres of land designated in the bvcp and the darker orange bars

The best place to go is our comprehensive plan.

the planning reserve, I would say is really well spelled out in our comprehensive plan

um amendments to sub-community plans and and what that process is is outlined in our comprehensive plan

the recommendations for land use includes changes to the current bvcp land use map approximately 250 acres

sub community plans are part of the city's suite of tools to help us implement the broad goals of the boulder valley comprehensive plan

subcommittee plans are part of the city suite of tools to help us implement the broad goals of the boulder valley comprehensive plan at the neighborhood level

So the mixed use industrial designation is in the COMP plan today and but it's pretty vague

whoever we appoint to the five year seats this time we'll we'll participate in the in the comp plan discussions

staff has found that the uh proposal is consistent with bvc policies

planning board concluded that the proposed project meets the site review criteria and findings consistent with bvcp policies

the 1.85 acre site has a comprehensive plan land use designation of mixed use business

obviously when passing an ordinance we have to find that it's consistent with our comprehensive plan

consistent with bvcp policies on community benefit additional increased commercial linkage fees would apply

per the boulder valley converts of plan the bvcp the land use designation on the site is light industrial

because the comp plan is kind of the city's Bible and there are all these policies in there about Equity

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan highlighted a number of pages um and values that are

I just really quickly looked up the the comp plan item on the mixture of housing types

a major update to the comp plan um probably the you know the first year frankly of our major update

and then we going roll into the comp plan Revision in 2024 if we don't start this until 2023

we should make meeting the comp plan goals a criterion for allowing zoning modifications

You know the implementation phases, that will. We were intending to start right away, and the other comprehensive plan

there are probably things that implicate or comprehensive plan, in addition to the regulatory matters

the board found that the proposed projects consistent with the regional business land use of the comp plan

both the comp plan and um the zoning I identify the site as being in the highest intensity categories

the comprehensive plan has for decades identified the downtown as one of those three centers

I don't know that we always involve evaluation of of regulations at every comp plan update

given that we have a comp plan coming up in about four years

So, for example, the Bowling alley comprehensive plan, as well as rtmp

we have beautiful goals in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

make this zoning consistent with the land use designation in the comp plan

this is a little different because we don't have that um we don't necessarily have that planning policy

the comprehensive plan really doesn't get into the detail of

that little step between boulder belly comprehensive plan land use

direction that we have in our COMP plan around 15 minute neighborhoods

That work will progress between now and the next comprehensive plan update in five years

we have this policy and the COMP plan that we will not resolved or property up zone or property without getting something in return

which is how the comp plan outlines that we fulfilled the Parks and Recreation related goals of the comp plan

since the use would be consistent with comp plan policies related to parks and also the goals of the parks

anytime staff puts a few compelling words together they can convince you to throw out our most important Boulder Valley comprehensive plan goals

i also don't see the vision and core values of the boulder valley comprehensive plan reflected in our budget

which would address specific policies in the boulder valley comp plan and as was discussed by council

under the comprehensive plan the diagonal plaza is recognized as a neighborhood center as you can see there

The overall master plan on the COMP plan becomes a requirement that's why the question is really coming forward

For our discussion this evening it's it's helpful and instructive to start at the broad planning level of the comprehensive plan

in fact the COMP plan land use designation for this site is for mixed residential

the board generally found that the proposal was consistent with the com plan

the comprehensive plan designates most of the site as mixed-use residential which is identified as primarily residential

i think it's always instructive to start at the broad level from the comprehensive plan

maybe delving into the COMP plan a little bit more to say what does it really say about housing

I think we're thinking more about it all fits together with COMP plan and

comprehensive plan, but there is no articulation really have this is the kind of house and we want

the 2017 comp plan adoption for the 2015 update was kind of us saying as a community

we went through the 2015 comp plan update and added the guiding principles around this property to the comp plan

the most clearly articulated goals of the comp plan is through the cu south guiding principles

staff finds that on balance the proposed annexation is consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

The Landings designations are in the comprehensive plan map from the city of Boulder that Define long-term use of a land

the agreed upon Boulder Valley comprehensive plan the pending annexation agreement and additional CU statements ensure

we assess those against the boulder valley comprehensive plan, as well as a transportation

i'm not supportive of starting it over with the new council

so the rezonings here simply implement land use plan changes that you've already approved

members of council eight a is the discussion regarding timing of ordinance 8485 the 2020 midterm update to the bvcp

the 2020 midterm update was completed last December and typically within six to eight months

So that was that change was made with consistent with the COMP plan policies

The comprehensive plan in terms of how we got here today

that plan er comprehensive plan H is in the process of being updating and it's a two and a half year process

how do these changes compare to what is currently planned in the bvcp

make some changes to the boulder valley comprehensive plan in 2025 that would set some policies

from a resident who has read the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan more than once followed the development from its Inception

one of the Criterion is that it meet the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan and it does that

get you to the comp plan update where a land use map change could be made

it would require a comp plan land use change and so that process could be done concurrently

a land use map change on the comp plan is is you know a pretty big deal

the boulder valley comp plan our transportation master plan and the access management and parking strategy documents

numerous Boulder Valley comprehensive plan updates the Alpine Balsam vision and area plans the North Boulder subc community plan

interest in doing an mu4 BMS would require a comprehensive plan land use uh change simultaneous to a rezoning

the comp plan if that's gonna remain our our you know soul sort of bible

since the memo mentions gearing up for the 2025 comp plan revisions

perhaps in 2025 we may want to consider going back to the three-legged stool

the follow-on rezonings from the comp plan update so that'll be in july

our plan supports the comp plan goals of creating walkable neighborhoods

Looking at it, more broadly, I just want to revisit the boulder valley conference of plan which, as you know, is defined by the Community

the good work we did in the Bowling alley comprehensive plan

the number one priority in the boulder valley comprehensive plan how many have been added

every one of the eight guiding principles stated in the boulder valley comp plan has either

would we have to change the comp plan guiding principles in order to make that annexation

the guiding principles has a section around prohibited uses

one of our boulder valley comp plan principles is 706 which is to promote a mixture of housing types

the purpose of sub-community planning is to really take the big city-wide goals of the boulder valley comprehensive plan

I thought the Boulder Valley comp plan was a jointly adopted plan for both the county and the city of Boulder

you could reference the comp plan policies um to be interpreted at site plan review that have not yet made their way into code

remove the reference the first Criterion which is a reference to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

in 2000 a policy to preserve manufactured home communities was added to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the boulder valley comprehensive plan with which outlines land use policies and the vision for our community

city council adopted land use changes in december as part of the midterm comp plan update

CRITERIA THAT ARE S SO BITTER IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOROR DOINGG THISS WORORKK

our existing code and our comp plan and how it suggests, we're moving because I don't think those things are effectively aligned

where we use the comp plan and find the things we like about it to support our own arguments

when we look at the comp plan which is the first uh whether the project comports with the comp plan

the site review criteria requires that a site plan is on balance consistent with the land use map

it's in the comp plan that's one thing but it's not within city ordinances that's right

we got this idea of doing infill pilots into the boulder valley comprehensive plan and we thought oh we're home free now

the criteria for land use and pl planning area changes um are outlined in the comp plan

amend the Boulder Valley comp plan land use map planning area map policy and text

typically in a comp plan update there are there are two two ways

nothing in the policy suggestions really relates to land use policy or comp plan development

potential terms of the annexation will meet those guiding principles that were outlined in the comprehensive plan

each of them include um a summary of what's the policy guidance U particularly from the comprehensive plan

the planning board will have to determine if the deck is consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

I thought the the manufactured housing land use was part of the comp plan

the comp plan that is now in effect was what was in effect when they put the application in

the review is based on relevant site review criteria bbcp policies

the property is designated as mixed-use business medium density residential and open space other on the land use map of the comprehensive plan

the majority of the area to be annexed is designated as light industrial on the land use map of the comprehensive plan

some of the ideas discussed there was the idea of a pilot project that's kind of laid out in the boulder valley comp plan

the use table maybe out of alignment with the goals and policies of the bvcp initial goals of the project

when the comp plan was updated in 2017 it included some new policies that set the expectation that for any projects

staff and planning board find the project consistent with the goals objectives and recommendations of the comprehensive plan

annexations with additional development potential must demonstrate community benefit consistent with comprehensive plan policies

are located within planning areas two and three in the comprehensive plan and are eligible for annexation

we've been working with boulder county since the 1970s to develop the boulder valley comprehensive plan as a statement about our vision for our community's future

in terms of the comprehensive plan as I mentioned in 2015 um which was a major update to the comp plan

comp plan States the city will seek appropriate building scale and compatible character in new development

both the City Planning Commission and city council have identified a gun barrel subc commmunity plan as a priority for Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the board found the proposal to be consistent with many bvcp policies especially those related to permanently affordable housing

it was recently updated in the 2015 bbcp update and it's intended to provide a density of 6 to 14 units per acre

if we peac meal out all of these different elements to a comprehensive plan and put it through a public process

the comprehensive plan should indicated with that this would be valid

Most people consider the boulder Valley comp plan to be an aspirational document

follow the golden valley comp plan suggestions that an alternative site be found for see us campus

playing board was scheduled to take up both this concept plan and the comp plan on the same night

the 2020 Boulder Valley comp plan midterm update should be postponed to 2022 due to the global Health crisis

the 2020 midterm up can be delayed due to a global Health crisis in the bould valley comprehensive plan

to talk about the 2020 midterm update to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

the boulder valley comprehensive plan sets the framework for the city with policies that form the backbone of the storm water

staff recommends that the uh Boulder Valley comprehensive plan midterm update also move forward on a slightly adjusted schedule

THAT IN TERMS OF THE PLANNING CONTEXT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS FOR DECADES THEY IDENTIFIED ACTIVITY CENTERS

WORK ON THE BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MID TERM HOLIDAYS ALSO CONTINUES

THE STATE OR COUNTY SINCE THE NINETEEN SEVENTY IS TO DEVELOP BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A STATEMENT ABOUT OUR VISION

there are um some Boulder Valley comprehensive plan mentions of Highway 93

so these steps really need to happen in a midterm or a major update it's a comprehensive plan

and Incorporated that into a chapter of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

adopt the proposed amendment to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

I don't recall the three levels in the comp plan but it is the top level in the comp plan correct

during the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update that's through our current process

the agreements that have been put into place with the comp plan guiding principles which for our design team

which is a component of the older Valley comp plan and guiding principles that were agreed on

WORKING WITH BOULDER COUNTY SINCE THE NINETEEN SEVENTY IS TO DEVELOP BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A STATEMENT ABOUT OUR VISION

THESE CHANGES WILL OCCUR DURING THE MIDTERM BOULDER VALLEY COMP PLAN UPDATE THIS YEAR

bring it into conformance with um the visions that are articulated in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

of course the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is overarching and then we have strategic plans or master plans

our planning department will be working on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan mid-cycle update as part of that

the comp plan lays out that the our County we work with our our County counterparts to establish the process

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan has a very rich history um dating back almost 40 years

a 2020 midterm update on the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

is a draft term sheet that has each of the guiding principles in the comprehensive plan along with where the university

it's consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which is really the community's vision for future development

any development would comply with the Boulder Valley comp plan that we all worked on together

our vision the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan stated for those areas our code did not necessarily achieve those same outcomes

she also helped with the effort to keep updates to the Boulder Valley comp plan focused only on the specific changes that were needed

THIS SECTION STATES THAT ZONING WILL BE ESTABLISH CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE FIRST IS REGARDING IN CONSISTENCY WITH OF THE PROPOSAL WITH STATE STATUTES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES REGARDING ANNEXATION

IF THOSE POLICIES ARE IN SUCH DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE GOAL SEED IN THE COMP PLAN

SO THESE ARE THE COMP PLAN POLICIES THAT WE'VE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WAS DOING THIS ANALYSIS

WHICH PAIRS AGAINST OUR COMP PLAN GOALS AGAINST WHAT WE'VE BEEN CONTENDING WITH

MAYBE WE DO THE COMP PLAN MIDTERM REVIEW WERE AT SOME APPROPRIATE TIME

when we wrote the section on enhanced community benefit for the comp plan last time around which is section

when the the comp plan was actually adopted in 2017 it included new policies related to Community Benefit and height

IT IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE BOULDER VALLEY COMP PLAN WHICH WERE ALSO BEING ASKED TO ADOPT AS WELL AS THE TMP

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE WERE BRINGING FOUR IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE COMP PLAN

that's really to implement the goals of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan so in the East Boulder project we've worked really hard to communicate this

this feels like a really good model of how we list out these boulder valley comp plans city goals and the question is how is this sub community going to embrace

MORE ABOUT THE CONTENT OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS A LOT OF THINGS IF YOU READ

WOULD BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTABLE THE VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

TO THE BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE OPEN SPACE AND MOUNTAIN PARKS MASTER PLAN SUMMARY

THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS YOU GOTTA GET THAT THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE TO SAY

TO THE FIRST STEP TO IMPLEMENTING THAT VISION IS TO CHANGE THE BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP.

SO MIDTERM OUT TO THE COMP PLAN WOULD BEGIN IN TWENTY TWENTY SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT A HEARING SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

there's nobody here that has voted for any of the comprehensive plans it's when you say it's our comprehensive plan

these don't reflect exactly what you see in the in the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan land use designations

the purposes of area planning are described in our comprehensive plan primarily to bridge that gap between broad policies in the comp plan

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan includes a policy focused on manufactured housing in in it our support for retaining

we did get it onto the Boulder Valley comp plan that we can consider that for other uses than just airport uses

I'm very impressed that you counted all the references in the Boulder Valley comp plan or somebody told them to you

some of our citywide goals as described in our comp plan include increasing the number of affordable units

for the sub community plans really the goal of these plans is to implement citywide goals of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

THE COMP PLAN REVISION WAS DONE WE MAPPED THE AREAS OF HIGHEST ECOLOGICAL BENEFIT

THIS AREA IS IN AREA TWO. UNDER THE BOULDER VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IS ELIGIBLE FOR ANNEXATION

this was one of the comprehensive plan goals that helped drive the retail study and efforts are already underway

the citywide retail project arose out of to retail related goals and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan

and also to achieve the vision for neighborhood centers from the comp plan this was really about allowing

the same way as all of the preexisting housing that the Boulder Valley comp plan requires us or advises guides us to do

I spent some time looking at the Boulder Valley comp plan today that's what I did

along with the land use designations from the boulder valley comp plan

whether or not it actually does fit into like our boulder valley comp plans regarding neighborhood areas

of those areas to meet the principles that we have described in the boulder valley comprehensive plan in the last update

based in on the comp plan land use designation high density means really anything above 14 dwelling units per acre

I know we have problems with the Boulder Valley comp plan or some issues that we need to iron

looking at whether those are actually from as its envisioned in the comprehensive plan

the land use code to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan and NFI areas what could be out of alignment

so we try to implement the comp plan we're working very closely with the climate commitment folks

we have a new version of the comp plan this is probably one of our few opportunities

may require a land use map change to our comp plan so those are a little more complicated

the strategy will be how we pursue the comprehensive plan goals of a vibrant retail base
