CU South

pause construction on the dam and flood control project at CU South until the Supreme Court decides

what is happening right now to the open space at CU South for the last week and a half

I'm speaking as a resident who has lived next door to the open space at CU South since 2008.

concerns um about the site closure of CU South that we have um starting on Monday.

I come here from just walking my dog out in the open space that's called CU South.

the annexation of CU South which had absolutely nothing to do with the dam

I was very happy to see this idea of reuse of some of the buildings andor structures at CU South where the tennis courts are.

regarding the CU South flood mitigation uh plan that's been pushed through

what happens on October 5th regarding the pending full closure of CU South

So then at that CU South property though, are they limited to three stories or can they go to any height they want?

Would that also be regarding the proposed 5 acres at CU South that is set aside for housing that is not student nor faculty?

She and Sam Weaver went to Open Space Board of Trustees to solicit support for CU South. So, of course, she wasn't happy about that.

It fights back with Sundance, and Area 3, and the airport, and CU South.

along with CU South, Area 3, the airport, things like this

in the annexation agreement for CU South, we had a a clause in there a paragraph in there about public safety

with a future context of the population and density that CU South would bring

I recall when we were talking about CU South related stuff that there was a conversation about response times

with their expansion with CU South, their takeover of 28th Street, the Millennium, high-end student housing

It's like CU South. Too much growth. CU is great, but not too much

CU South is going to be uh probably go beyond the u the termination of this comp plan.

CU South, you know, is not addressed specifically.

The second uh of course is the project we call CU South and its impact on the community.

But in 2024 and 2025, CU South was being leased to the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center.

the impending loss of CU South, and conversion of many existing public tennis courts to pickleball use.

and Sundance, and CU South, it's gotta stop somewhere.

there's Area 3, there's CU South, there's Constant, constant papillios.

We've got, like, 60,000 people set up to come to this town, including Sundance, CU South, Area 3.

the flood ramifications I'm not entirely sure of regarding the CU South um process

I'm really concerned about the lawsuit with the flood detention system at CU South, and the impact

And we saw that in no clearer when we had CU South designated ED as OSO

Sundance, and CU South, and everything else that's just grow, grow, grow, make it more and more

And then throw in Sundance, and throw in CU South, and throw in, where do we put the homeless camping now?

with Sundance, with Area 3 Planning Reserve, with CU South, with a Millennium

Stop the endless Massive amounts of growth. Sundance, CU South, Area 3 Planning Reserve.

how are we going to plan for the future when we've got Sundance coming here, when we've got CU South

Area 3 Planning Reserve, CU South, all these are just gonna skyrocket the demand for water

If that's my recollection, sort of circus the CU South annexation.

Do you anticipate any single-family or townhome at the CU South stage?

Sorry, I missed a point on CU South, so it's 2,100 homes, and that would include faculty and staff housing

that is the absolute perfect segue to CU South, which is a site, you know, really solely focused.

with Sundance, with CU South, with this huge building craze

If you really want to protect your neighborhood, you'll do something about CU South, the South.

Sundance, Limelight, you know, CU South, Planning Reserve, all of these developments

The biggest one right now is that diversion project in Cu South. That is unacceptable. 94 million dollars.

There is one way to control this situation, and that is to hold back on cu stop cu south.

it's not a good idea. I support the lawsuit against Cu South.

the CU South Horrendous. Outrageous. Should never have been.

I can come down, and I can say, don't do, Cu South. It's not a good thing.

On this issue of The price for the stormwater and flood from the CU South Development

There's an issue in our community in the last few years regarding property in South Boulder called Cu South.

we are moving ahead with a financing that is um one and a half times the size of uh CU South without any uh discussion

This just cannot go on with an impending, imposing deficit for the tab with Cu South, which has got to be stopped.

and there's not enough services in the South Boulder Rec Center and Now, CU South is just booming ahead.

the city is about to begin extensive flood protection this year on what's called Cu South.

projects such as CU South it's been used several times in previous updates to the comprehensive plan

you're going to have even more with CU South and with alpine Balsam you're going to have much more demand

it's not dissimilar to um CU South where you know the city had an opportunity to buy CU South

After Cu South got a lot of resentments about cu football team. Rah, rah! You know 37,000 people filling up my city

The largest. You could think of a project like a Cu South level, where there'd be very strict requirements.

increased housing starts coming from CU through CU South that come online in five years

comparable to the CU South annexation where we take an analysis in the next phase

we know CU South is on the Butcher block as well

false remediation of a 100e flood P when CU South gets 500 years and we pay

a couple of additional Provisions that were in the resolution that isn't directly uh part of the CU South annexation agreement

prior to the development of the CU South property for example mitigation of project impacts

that'll be along the CU South property next to create the volume we need for detention

as you saw CU South is a key location for where flooding happens and where over topping of us36 um occurs

there's also a dash line that denotes the CU South property and the purpose of

on that C use out wetland mapping that will be introduced for first reading with City Council on March seventh

the mapping and functional evaluation of wetlands on the larger sea south properties that's to adjacent to the West

than what we were talking about a couple years ago with the CU South annexation process

on and near the property commonly refer to a CU South and that's what we're showing in this rendition

we just increased our population by 30,000 with CU. South

with the help of the voters we approved the CU South annexation

as an advocate for improved blood mitigation solutions for CU South

with both the Excel negotiations and the CU South negotiations to have a couple uh council members

the CU South they those were not Council committees in those instances

especially because of Cu South which is going to drive up the double the population of Boulder

I think the same is true of Cu South like I remember asking do we have to name that as a priority in the work plan

to see how much money CU could get away with to buy CU South the open space disposal

possibly soon to lose the Rocky Mountain tennis Center courts as well as the Cu South Courts

We would love to investigate whether the Fairview High School courts could be repaired, or the Sovo or Cu. South Courts could be made more available to the public.

And more recently contemplate how lucky I am to play here at the base of the flat irons at the CU South complex

my question is if we're not comparing the cost per dwelling at CU South but rather to some other spots

developing a mitigation plan for restoring the 119 Acres of open space other lands on the CU South property

as the camera reported she did to celebrate railroading the CU South annexation as an emergency ordinance

people are worried about the traffic CU South is going to bring so so

CU South should not be built on as a result of this fire and other many other reasons

question 2f which was concerning the repeal of ordinance 8483 regarding the annexation of Cu South

he stood up the entire campaign and said I am supporting the CU South annexation against every indication

will be able to replace its Tennis Courts at CU South

the tennis courts at CU South will be lost due to the University's plan

I'm horrified that we approved CU South that was an underhanded uh under the table negotiation and agreement

CU South annexation and just want to say we recognize that our community appears to favor maintaining that annexation agreement

I want to talk about CU South how you shove that down our throats to make us think it's a good thing

I do not support CU South this is growth for the sake of growth it's not infill

there's been so much discussion about CU South and the South Boulder Creek flood project

and the CU South is going to do that in the biggest way possible

we could have major destruction down to the water treatment plant with it with a CU South for a hundred year flood claim

you're not going to get 20 is 20 when you support CU South and when you're not even consulted

situation is cu South is gonna change all of this everything

annexation of Cu South and there have been some requests to change the ballot language

and that is the heart of the CU South debate

with CU South certainly not increase it and for a 100 year flood plain instead of a 500

the ordinance just annexes the cu south property when the ordinance does a whole lot more than just annex the property

referendum on cu south in the hotline packet you received section five the safety clause was changed as you requested

ordinance 80 43 regarding the annexation of cu south be repealed is inadequate the problem is the word regarding

the ballot measure that relates to the cu south referendum that one is not discretionary by council

this is a referendum on c cu south this is on the ballot because the uh committee presented a referendum petition

ordinance 8534 which is related to the annexation of cu south

more density a doubling of the current size of cu via building cu south in the last wetlands in boulder

we're going to have an increase to finance um cu south

one of them is the initial the referendum on the ordinance and saying the cu south property

a large portion of the property would be located on the cu south property

the other also relating to cu south is have we previously looked at the impact of development there on evacuation

buying cu south was a bad business deal for cu but the cu south annexation agreement is a very bad deal

as we've seen with with cu south right it's designated open space it's owned by another entity

it's the property called cu south is not a foregone conclusion its fate is not written in stone

tonight i'd like to talk about cu south and starting and ending with a quote

in his application he didn't shy away from bringing up the elephant in the room which is cu south

now on the annexation by emergency cu has said it will mitigate the ponds at cu south

we're talking about the referendum of ordinance 8483 um which involves the cu south annexation

The Preserve or area three has nothing to do with C South and we don't intend to correlate the two

it's actually Tethered to see you South it's it's an independent project

many people people have raised it in the context of um the CU South annexation

at least to get uh cu south voted on for example there's more work to be done obviously as we move forward

you need to do something about cu south the millennium all of these developments that are bringing in all these people

let the voters decide on the annexation of Cu South that item typo failed with a

supporting housing and trans through the annexation of Cu South

those of you who took a clear position of support on annexing CU South for flood mitigation

challenging the provisions of the uh annexation proposal for CU South

walked through the fire on cu south negotiations um and and admire your your leadership

i was having conflicts with the cu south uh negotiations

2D which is um disbanding the CU South process subcommittee item 2E which came across on hotline

in 2008 so deja vu all over again we'll see you south no on cu south shame on you

this was written in 2008 so this is nothing new with cu south 54 of all u.s wetlands have been drained or failed for development purposes

8a is the council discussion on disbanding the cu south process subcommittee

the relationship to transportation is of course what we discussed at CU south, which is trip reduction

then we have climate change dealt dealt with with cu south that's not a climate change solution

in our discussion about cu south it came up many times that there were other sources of damage

why the contract did not include standards that would apply in the situation where the property is purchased by a private developer

today the current agreement will not achieve long-term flood protection for fraser meadows it may fail to even achieve

the annexation of approximately 308.15 acres of land generally known as cu south

the on-site housing of just 2200 individuals did not increase so CU South is no housing solution

at 308 Acres CU South's overall footprint basically equals another main campus

need to recuse themselves from CU South votes and involvement

calling a special meeting on september 14th which will be um for the public hearing of the cu south annexation

um i wanted to talk to you about cu south

immediately following what's going to be a very difficult and contentious process of decision making uh on cu south

the railroading of the CU South annexation is an attempt to preempt citizens and our CU South ballot initiative petition

tonight Council will consider uh CU South ballot measure um under agenda item 5A

to require that any agreement with University of Colorado regarding terms of annexation for the land known as CU South including certain specific details

parcel generally known as cu south at 4886 and 5278 table mesa drive

those meetings we expect to have the same subject as tonight which is annexation of cu south

that was the first reading of the uh ordinance annexing the cu south property into the city

all decisions about the schedule on cu south will be adopted by all of council

um we are also adjusting our agenda to remove item 2a which is items concerning the cu south annexation um

driving it on egging it on with cu south if you're going to ask me to revise the city charter

during some of the cu south discussions i believe a couple years ago

we have two options 8474 which is placing the um issue of Cu South and those terms for annexation on the ballot

Cu cut a deal with CU South 5 million bucks t taxfree lowered the price from 16 million to 11

so on the 9th we would have the um staff presentation um applicant presentation questions on CU South

check in a little bit about cu south after the annexation agreement was published yesterday

we did have the cu south annexation agreement draft released yesterday so i want to thank the university

south boulder creek flood mitigation at cu south has two actions associated with it

how we picked the folks who we are going to appoint for the CU South um planning board hearing

they're also working through CU South stuff right now

there's cu south if we intend to move forward with that that's going to take a lot of council time

we're doing an entire project in CU South trying to house faculty and graduate students

this is an update and an opportunity for council to provide input on the direction and focus of the cu south annexation

constructing a full-fledged campus including housing for 2300 people academic buildings sports stadiums etc in a flood zone makes no sense whatsoever

it was always done with the understanding that at very least that would be an emergency access into the the cu south campus

we had the discussion of the library district and we had cu south and um there was no way

the last two categories around police oversight as well as CU South and South Boulder Creek flood mitigation with two key actions related to those

anybody who's working for CU considering CU souths in the pipeline and going to be crucial in the coming months

whoever the new subcommittee members are I just wanted to flag that

we would add item 6A which is an update on CU South annexation negotiations

we also want our colleagues to accept our resignations from the subcommittee so I might add that

staff has been negotiating with CU regarding their annexation application and we've reached a point

do we have any future updates on CU south or time to talk about

endangered species would be in serious Jeopardy from CU south construction

the city's justifying its decision to build out cu South based on the need for flood mitigation

we get a lot of emails regarding decisions that have already been made about CU South

for the development of Cu South you could do that right say no to see you

the theoretically proposed 2300 new residents of Cu South theoretically because CU won't disclose its specific plans

having two parallel processes cu south annexation and south boulder creek flood control and keeping them coordinated

i was wondering if cu south should be on here i'll let you take that back to staff

the next is related to south boulder creek flood mitigation and cu south with two key actions

I think the idea of putting housing out there is absurd the East Campus has lots of land

adding over 2,200 new residences at CU South and an average I'm assuming of two or more vehicles per household

but in particular the adverse traffic impacts that flow from this petition

we not only do we not need cu south we don't need them threatening us about floodplain

this week at the cu south meeting i had an epiphany of the problem to boulders housing problem

in the middle of community engagement for cu south and part of that will entail maybe asking cu for certain amenities

and the context of cu south and what could be done there

I want to question the haste with which the annexation project is being rammed through CU won't develop its CU South property for several years

tonight we have the CU South annexation and engagement update

filling in land so see you can develop it is not protection against flooding or part of storm water drainage

if the CU South doesn't hit the signature amounts then um there is a a ongoing process around the annexation

measures regarding um the CU South it does seem like an administrative um issue

we will have a continued discussion about CU South annexation that's on our work plan

We've also learned that 500 year flood protection is not compatible with the sea of self project

imagine that see you is already built its campus at CU south

from 2015 to 2017 we worked with CU Boulder and Boulder County to develop the CU South guiding principles

we recently Council offered to pay the University of Colorado $10 million to bury and fill in wetlands and Meadow habitat at CU South

so the first question is how will the cu south project impact that slide

when we factor in the current estimates for cu south and the 24 million dollars for upper goose creek

that's going to come hard on the heels of a bond issue for cu south in whatever configuration

we have the information session tomorrow night on CU South and South Boulder Creek flood mitigation

CU souths annexation um staff recognizes the importance of this work and understands that Council wants that to continue

an annexation framework including a plan and schedule for CU South

the issue at CU South is not so much conservation versus Recreation um although that is generally a a divide that I would agree applies

she had asked me about CU South and her understanding was that it was a um an issue of Recreation versus conservation

THE COUNCIL PROCESS COMMITTEE ON CU SOUTH SOUTH BOULDER CREEK FLOOD MITIGATION

followup on the CU South study session that we had last week

on May 19th we will have the CU South flood issue in front of us again

something at CU South allowing students to stay in in tiny homes

this design is not reflected based on development of Cu South

we're here to talk tonight about the South Boulder Creek flood mitigation project as well as the annexation of Cu South

that's not really going to establish anything firm for CU South

to have housing at Cu South much-needed housing for faculty and upper-class students that is adjacent to transportation

we will create the burbs around Cu South annexation and south Boulder Creek flood mitigation

so there's a 30% design completion right that's like the next thing we're supposed to get to

build up property in the Cu South area so that University can have a hundred and twenty nine acres to develop their land

about the history of Cu South in the cities for Dometic mitigation efforts

again south Boulder Creek is and Cu South is gonna come back to you

I'll just read them through real quick Alpine balsam Cu South the use tables

I noticed the um the proximity of this property to the the CU South um lands

we talked about the South Boulder Creek flood mitigation project and the CU South um annexation

I would like to make sure that we really have uh CU South um in hand and transparent and um flowing

area two being oftentimes adjacent to the city and is eligible for annexation but currently in the unincorporated County and that's what CU South is designated as

University of Colorado Boulder known as CU South as well as a regional flood detention project

CU South process check in I'm going to try and make that less than 45 minutes

WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT WATER THAT FLOWS ACROSS THE CU SOUTH SIDE

THAT WATER WOULD FLOW INTO CU SOUTH THAT IS CORRECT

THE NEXT STEPS FOR THE SOUTH BOULDER CREEK FLOOD MITIGATION PROJECT AND CU SOUTH ANNEXATION

given what's come up with with c dot and the questions around disposal with open space and

my understanding is that flood mitigation at cu south is at a standstill due largely to regulations and disagreements with cdot and cu

it's a 30-year compact which was agreed to 20 years ago

the process committee is generally looking at looking forward at a plan and strategy for how we will engage the community about this project

relating to the university of colorado boulders south campus or cu south

we're looking even now even in the Cu South discussions which will have an impact on our services

CU SOUTH ANNEXATION IS REALLY VERY SIMPLE DON'T MAKE IT AS HARD AS IT IS

THE OPEN SPACE LANDS THAT ARE EAST OF CU SOUTH

CU SOUTH AS SHOWN IN THE BLACK DOTTED OUTLINE

continuing alongside the cu south annexation efforts we feel fortunate

and open space restoration and preservation of Cu South and that it's an important way

they asked us to allow them to stay involved in the Cu South flood mitigation work

they're happy by the fact that we're addressing Cu South flood mitigation we're including them

while there's currently no protected open space on CU south as it exists today

University of Colorado's potential South Campus we consider it already our South Campus

here's the purpose of this process is to find the condition of annexation for the parcel is Cu South

THESE OPTIONS LOOK AT DIFFERENT PLACES TO STORE THAT WATER BUT ALL OF IT ON THE CU SOUTH PARCEL

IN WHICH WE WOULD HAVE THE UPSTREAM PART AGAIN IN THAT SOUTHERN PART OF CU SOUTH.

I DO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THAT CU HAS CONCERNS WITH THIS I HOPE WE CAN WORK WITH THEM BUT OUR FIRST PRINCIPLE.

THAT COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THE UPSTREAM CONCEPT WOULD DEAL BUILDS ON THE CU SOUTH USO AREA.

I UNDERSTAND IT AND USE THE CU SOUTH GUIDING PRINCIPLES PICK A FIVE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD.

THE CU SOUTH PROPERTY IS THE LAST MISSING PIECE OF THE OPEN SPACE SYSTEM THAT BRINGS OUR TOWN.

IF THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT WEIGHED IMPACTS AND CU SOUTH AS WELL

MANY OF US HAVE STUDIED THE VARIOUS CONCEPTS ATTENDED PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS AND AN OPEN HOUSE SESSION

the conversations around the boulder valley comp plan and see yourself the kid development of the guiding principles

the future discussions around annexation of the University of Colorado Boulder south property

with and without the existing Cu South levee the different mitigation design concepts

I was wondering if the CU south flood mitigation studies

to say nothing nothing of the 2,000 parking places that are proposed for the CU South Campus

pretty congested we see no discussion or analysis of how the buses will be moved effectively between CU South the main campus

existing CDM programs expanded to CU South so the things that we do around our main campus
