East Boulder subcommunity plan and form-based code

Investments at East Boulder uh Community Center will include renovations to meet modern recreation needs

So when foreignbased code doesn't meet the expectations, I look forward to hearing from our city attorney what the pathways can be

those in tandem with any changes to update the form-based code to meet the TOC.

for the area in the East Boulder subcommunity plan. And again, that 3-year planning process resulted in clear community direction

Staff finds um, this change is inconsistent with community and policy maker feedback collected over several recent planning efforts including the East Boulder Community Subcommunity Plan

The East Boulder sub community plan talks about light industrial being really important and there are actually areas in that plan

There's already um pretty strong policy foundation in that area with the East Boulder sub community plan and the station area master plan in place

is for East Boulder and it really zooms out and looks at housing needs, transportation needs, business needs

we have an east boulder sub community plan and a north boulder sub community plan

our form-based code drove a most of the exterior design decisions

It didn't, certainly in the case of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.

Planning Board and Council, like the East Boulder Sub-Community Plan, as an example, have to agree on, whether or not to move forward.

areas that are subject to our form-based code in East Boulder.

The project site is located within the boundaries of the East Boulder sub community plan which identifies the future use of this area as general industrial.

Is it consistent with the East Boulder sub community plan?

I think you could read the East Polar sub community plan to support this project

I feel like there really needs to be that coherence between the sub-community plan and the form-based code

I really appreciate staff's efforts to make a good form-based code for East Boulder

the first one is East Boulder Sub-Community Plan Form-Based Code, discussion

question is the East Boulder um sub community area. Um, when do we estimate based on, you know, the current buildout

The proposed resoning is also consistent with the recommendations of the East Boulder sub community plan

The project site is also located within the boundaries of the East Boulder sub community plan.

Here in Boulder, we have a 700 billion page form-based code that tells you where to put the crease in the building

a form-based code, and, you know, all that stuff just dilutes the ability to get anything done

about the East Boulder sub-community plans, so we want to be able to speak to you

We know we can put 5,800 units in the East Boulder, in that sub-community area

that would mean going into form-based code and doing something different

I can say is that the process that led to, first, the East Boulder Community

multiple ties with two dots, quick fixes to the form-based code for East Boulder

the site review by having people do form-based code to just call it up into the discretionary process.

think that the first run of this in the East Boulder sub community plan, I mean, there were a lot of firsts

I would support a moratorum on any form-based code projects going through East Boulder sub community plan

we do have the issue that form-based code is not just for residential projects

More of sort of a form-based code um approach to those with so just more focus there

about existing subcommunices that are newer like the East Boulder sub community plan and the transit village area plan

get some, you know, form-based code adopted and whatever

to really push, like, a form-based code or something

with the new form-based code, which is outrageous. Not even the person that set the whole thing up with the East Boulder Sub-Community Plan

we started the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan because we wanted housing in East Boulder

If I understand the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan correctly, the intent is to create physical spaces

Um and my understanding is that with this parcel we have not changed the zoning um through the East Boulder sub community plan

She also contributed greatly to the East Boulder sub community plan, the 55th and Arapjo Station area master plan

Did you say the East Boulder sub community plan or the East Boulder Community Park site?

there's an adjacent site review for the East Boulder sub community plan.

I must point out that it is also supported by the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan, which talks specifically about improvements and the future character

that hatched area is the, East Boulder sub-community plan, form-based code overlay area, which is just across Goose Creek.

So jumping into key issue number 2, which is consistency with the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.

Right now, we have a North Boulder subcommun, an East Boulder sub-community plan, area plans for different smaller sections of town.

in the form-based code for really great, you know, first floor, street-facing public spaces

if you think about the East Boulder subcommunity plan, kind of that

an amendment to the Boulder Junction Phase 2 area, the East Boulder Subcommunity plan.

Um, East Boulder area plan, but there was interest by the community in that area

that's a connection to the role that form-based code perhaps plays

So thinking specifically about Alpine Balsam and East Boulder and how the time and effort that was invested into those processes

There's also a hub type we're considering that comes out of conversations about the evolution of East Boulder

That sub-community plan will continue to guide that, and it was used, to inform and help create the form-based code for this area

This is the adopted land use map for East Boulder, and that's in the subcommunity plan.

with the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan and Alpine Balsam Subcommunity Plan, or area plan

what can be required there then depends on what the form-based code standards have in terms of, transportation requirements

when we thought about, like, East Arapaho and all the work in, I guess, the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan

they took it through the entitlement process through form based code.

This parcel was left as industrial, single purpose, industrial use

in the most recent adopted version of the formbbased code it was discovered that terminology for imperous semi-pervious permeable surfaces coverage

it's more like what's in the form-based code as the stoop bases and doors on the street

when we were doing the East Boulder subcommunity plan

If form-based code exists, you can go through form-based code, and if if not, you can do a Site Review amendment

the place types in the East Boulder said community plan or the character districts

I specifically excluded form-based code. But thank you for bringing that up as I thought about that.

Do you also want to extend it to form-based code? Because that also looks at large projects?

And you pointed out that in the East Boulder sub-community plan, it talks about things like abigration easements and notification to property owners.

I'm also curious if and when we see this project at site review which portions of the East Boulder sub-community plan will apply to it

I have no concerns about the compatibility with the East Boulder sub-community plan.

whereas the sub community plan in the destination workplace is a little bit more aspirational and broad.

Um, however, the city has adopted subcommittee plans into the site review criteria.

The site is located within the East Boulder sub community plan which envisions mixeduse developments with residential

East Boulder projects, maybe even have the overview for direct centers and courts

we are having pushback even on the East Boulder subcommunity plan, which was literally just adopted

the way that this project is asking us to be extremely flexible about things like sub community plans and area plans

that would help it come into conformity with its subcommunity plan, which is one of our site review criteria

the recent work that we're doing in East Boulder and think around 55th and arapo where our our subcommunity plan calls for

good example is the recent work that we're doing in East Boulder and think around 55th in arapo where our our subcommunity plan calls for

implementing the East Boulder sub community plan with the recent adoption of form-based code

Yes, it could be used as part of form-based code.

The the form-based code itself doesn't have parking standards.

to turn turn down a project that is permitted by the zoning on the basis of it not being consistent

sub community plan amendments are pretty limited we're revising the connections plan based on feedback

continued discussion of the adoption of form-based code standards for parts of the East Boulder sub community plan

and then the East boulder sub community plan, calling for street level, street level activation and streetscape character.

the East Boulder sub community plan plan amendments and form based code are coming before Council on Thursday.

there are three policies in the East Boulder sub-community plan that um address the concerns

We've talked about consistency with the East Boulder sub-community plan.

I do not think that this project is consistent with the destination workplace place type. In that sub-community plan.

Staff finds that overall the project is consistent with the plan.

a new multi-use path connection proposed along the northern side of the site, as shown in the East Boulder sub community plan.

The site is located within the East Boulder Subcommunity plan, which envisions mixed, use developments with residential

The property is in the East Boulder subcommunity plan that was adopted in October 2022.

we are on the cusp of creating code that mandates housing within the East Boulder sub community plan

As far as the sub community plan goes. You can see where we sit in the picture of East Boulder here.

as shown in the East Boulder subcommunity plan, should be making stronger connections for both access

I was part of the East Boulder subcommunity plan process

We've done some work on that in the East Boulder subcommunity plan

the form based code though aimed at fostering cohesive Urban Design risk increasing costs

East Boulder's unique industrial and research driven character while sufficient housing for our Workforce is necessary

the form based code is limited to just areas of change within East Boulder it does not cover the whole of East Boulder

this was a huge conversation that we had in the East Boulder subcommunity plan update

those that plan does have general parameters for the layout of of the new streets

form-based code review view for site and infrastructure improvements for the Pham Bas for based code area

I heard some interesting things around East Boulder subc Community Plan and some of the things planning board was asking for

as part of the implementation of the East Boulder subc Community Plan number one um first we'll hear about the amendments to the east Boulder sub community plan

so the first amendment that we're going to look at is the East Boulder sub community plan land use map so this map is intended to guide future

does the board support recommended amendments to the east Boulder subc commmunity plan and then additionally does planning board find that the proposed ordinance

Most of these were amending pieces of the form based code which most of the site is subject to

just a reminder uh about the form based code regulating plan and the prescriptive nature of the form based code

so the form-based code area is in red overall project boundaries in white

The Proposal is subject to the regulations and review process of the form-based code

when we were doing the use tables in the East boulder sub community plan

The vision included in the plan is that East Boulder which is mostly industrial and office space today is going to evolve over time

these require some minor amendments to the sub community plan

One of the implementation projects is to update the zoning code and consider form based code that will help realize the community's vision

the East Polar sub community plan, a port based code updates another another one

No, it's it's going to form based code. And so I think it's just informational for us.

you did a great job of how you summarized the comments that we gave in that East boulder sub community plan working session.

and his role there was was quite different because he was being asked to provide his individual opinions

required by the connection shown in the East Boulder sub community plan.

particularly, I would say the East Boulder Subcommittee Plan, because it was a recent planning process

And that's the East Boulder sub community plan.

adopted sub Community plans consist of North Boulder subc Community Plan in 1995 in the most recent East Boulder subc Community Plan

is the approval process similar to what we experienced with the East boulder subcommunity plan

Subcommunity plans consists of the North Boulder subcommunity plan, and the most recently approved East Boulder subcommunity plan

I think we have specific metrics when it comes to our form-based code.

recommended updates which will include an amendment to the Subcommittee plan, and that will be include adding that future zoning map

And really the form based. Code is intended to implement those recommendations which include not only kind of the broad goals

do you have questions or comments on the draft form based code updates, as they relate to the East Boulder subcommunity plan recommendations

the form based code areas of East Boulder are limited to the areas of change

East Boulder is unique in that the rezoning is proposed to not occur with adoption of the form-based code

appendix L of the city's land use code includes a map defining where the form based code applies

some changes that we're expecting to make to zoning and coming years to meet the East Boulder subcommittee plan

there is the draft form based code update, to implement the East Full Rescue Mani plan

We have about 40 million dollars for the East Boulder community center facility retrofit. The cost estimates are closer to 60 to 70.

as East Boulder Recreation Center. Where we have a focus and really good funding to do the renovation up to 45 million

The other buildings under review are all subject to form based code.

acknowledge that one thing the form based code does ask for is, it defines that the sale as the a frontage

The north side of Alpine also falls under the form based code overlay.

It's the portions that are outside of the form based code, strict form based code area.

I've been taps to look at the east boulder planning through the kind of planning department

And this is also tying in with what there is but an East border sub community plan.

Boulder Junction Phase 2 and East Boulder land use uh zoning and operations implementation

So II was thinking about 50 Fifth Street and the East Boulder subcommunity plan

we're only talking about portions of East Boulder

characteristics of form bulk and intensity that are built into our code will be guided by the form based code overlay for the area

6A is the progress update on the implementation of the East Boulder sub community plan related to the zoning update

should you recommend that work commence on a process before council actually makes a final recommendation on the airport with the East Boulder subcommunity plan

it's not as it's not as it's not as onerous as what they did for East Boulder subcommunity plan.

update on implementation of the East boulder subcommunity plan

What does it make sense when we have a a subcommunity plan that we've just adopted.

the East Boulder subcommunity plan says there should be housing here

It's in for form based code review at the city.

I think, for form based code. We created city manager discretion on whether or not to require a development agreement

That's not the criteria and a form based code. The emphasis is more on the building

there are um ongoing conversations currently in the East Boulder area for the implementation of the East Boulder subc commmunity plan

Not every project has to fulfill all of the goals

thank you for getting right into the core of the East Boulder subcommunity plan

for the area is shown in the East Boulder subcommunity plan, and we'll start with the expert

if they need a better design that fits, we need a sub-community plan.

The Gun Barrel sub-community plan was again marked as a top 5 priority for the 2,021 bbcp midterm update

we are also concerned with things like the gun barrel sub-community plan, your available parks, how people in the area have access to services

Oh, it came up in the East Boulder sub community plan.

have been part of the east boulder working group. The sub community plan that was created in East Boulder.

we would use some of the plan tools in the sub community plan like the place type map Place type performance standards and our Mobility plan

the East Boulder subc Community is one of the city's 10 subc communities and it's generally located north of arapajo

in the next month we're moving into rezoning recommendations and we'll work on how we may incorporate Community benefits identified in the sub community plan

That was taken out of these boulders subcommittee plan

what we determined as staff is that the East Boulder Subcommittee Plan takes precedence

We have now a conflict between the East Boulder subcommunity plan and the Tmp.

We're really focused on Zoning and rezoning the areas of change

And as a tool, it can help provide direct regulation around the outcomes that we've committed to in that plan

We're considering whether form base code is an appropriate tool for East Boulder neighborhoods

the East Boulder sub-community plan. Those guys don't understand that they're.

Well, I'm thinking about, these older. Sub community plan and.

update the form-based code and other regulatory elements that's part of East Boulder sub-community plan implementation

through the East Boulder subcommunity plan process that completed last year

we actually started out with trying to just take the place types from the East Boulder sub-community plan and apply them here

as we adopted the East Boulder sub community plan

and then East Boulder. Those are the larger projects

taking next steps for land use in this area especially if a variety of land uses were contemplated would be a sub community plan or something like that

with the East Boulder sub community plan you over sample the folks who are most impacted by a project or the North Broadway reconstruction project

we also had members from planning board tab housing board and we also involved many departments within the city such as planning osmp and others

Gonna re, look at the form based code standards that were applied to phase one for phase 2.

that I think I remember from the east boulder working group is that in many areas of the country

the East Boulder subcommunity plan and the place types within that are separate from this

And then we've also done East Boulder since we had just done the East Boulder community plan.

East Boulder Community Plan calls out the concept of affordable commercial as a strategy

So they are slated to do form based code in activity center areas.

that where East boulder subcommunity plan east boulder subcommunity plan, I think it would

that was recently conceptualized as East boulder subcommunity plan.

reflect the gigantic decisions that were made, and East Boulder subcommunity plan.

as you may remember, from the East Boulder subcommunity plan.

as part of implementation of the East Boulder sub-community plan

the one that they, I think, adopted in the East Boulder area plan was the M. You, T. O. D, which I

as the Planning Development Services Department looks at updating that form based code in in the eastern part of our community.

it may rely on a form based code overlay zoning

to essentially not allow it to go through form based code review.

The form based. Code we approved is not exactly the same form-based code that was approved at Folder Junction.

So we adopted the form based code to apply it to the hospital site.

was created through these folder subcommunity plan and was applied for the first time

taking lessons from the East Boulder sub community plan this option introduces a broad application of mixed use

the East Boulder subcommunity plan which was recently adopted last year and offers a lot of very relevant policies

So it's form based code, right? So there's a form based code review that will happen.

in places such as the one she mentioned East Boulder

in my mind what I Envision is the East Boulder sub community plan some of the areas along North Broadway

do we have the 30 between the key Carters and the let's say the East Boulder sub-community plan

the subject site is located within the boundaries of the East Boulder sub-community plan

they really informed the regulations for the form based code that was developed and applied to the phase, one area

and then the East Boulder sub-community plan so implementation plays of the plan including regulatory changes

Part of the initial understanding of what was an appropriate use here is looking at what the east boulder sub-community plan has proposed as areas of change

The site is also within the boundaries of the recently adopted East Boulder Sub-community plan. The land use designation.

The East Boulder Subcommittee plan, said

You may remember that our East Border subcommunity plan. Address this issue directly.

and our new East Boulder Subcommittee plan actually meets a lot of these requirements already

That's when we see it really put into motion, and some of the form based code documents.

How well it plays or doesn't play with recommendations in the east Boulder sub-community plan

She did such a fantastic job with the East Boulder Side community plan, and there's really good tight connections there

but also looking at future is opportunities in the East Boulder subcommunity plan

as we look towards the rezoning for the East Boulder sub-community plan

those are the boundaries for the East Boulder sub community plan and the transit Village area plan

And then the new Rex for the East Boulder area.

how would new Ih Regs apply to the East Boulder sub-community plan

I was much involved in the East Boulder plan, and that was formally supposed to be included in within the boundaries

because it's going to be a couple of years before East Border subcommunity plan.

and our new East Boulder Subcommunity plan actually meets a lot of these requirements already, so i'll share more on that in just a moment.

I know we did something similar to that for the East Boulder Subcommittee plan in terms of trying to reach out

you are including people that are involved in the East Builder sub community plan correct

I have been thinking about the East Boulder subcommunity plan uh and how it how will the airport will affect it

we've actually been building off some of the work from the East Boulder sub community plan

both of those were, should have been included in my opinion, the East older sub community plan

We we kind of took in in inspiration from the form based code, because we've had some successful design outcomes with those projects.

and then in the other areas of the city with industrial zoning we would still use contiguity

it makes sense for guidance from the plan to drive the decision on whether residential is appropriate

based on the area plans and sub-community plans that we have adopted starting with the most recent the East Boulder sub-community plan

they're almost finished with the east Boulder Subcommittee plan will be able to work off of that plan

you may remember that our East Boulder sub-community plan addressed this issue directly and we're anticipating

our new East Boulder sub-community plan actually meets a lot of these requirements already

the East Boulder sub-community plan so this is scheduled to come to Council in December

we talked about the they I'm forgetting the name, the stamp area, the station area master plan for east Boulder

I will go ahead and make a motion to amend the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan to add a summary of the East Boulder subcommunity plan

the public hearing on plan adoption has been completed we did that in May

I'm excited to talk about East Boulder again tonight

there's a number of implementation projects that are continuing to come out of the subcommunity plan

when we had we had our tours to the east Boulder sub community plan areas

take advantage of some of the really smart um choices that went into the East Boulder sub-community plan

we're starting to look at potential areas of east boulder sub-community that might be form-based code

including the east boulder sub-community plan there's really no specific guidance for having these two different types of offices

i know you all haven't been in a lot of discussions about the east boulder sub-community plan

the area plan was done there's a vision, the form based code was adopted, it says exactly how you implement that vision

How do we meet all the requirements of the form based code, how do we incorporate the storm Water Facility

I love the. East boulder sub Community plan presentation that we had

making those big connections between transportation and land use as seen recently at tab in the body of work around the east boulder sub community plan

if we're adopting the east boulder sub community plan sir it needs to be a roll call

i would like to move that we accept the updated east boulder sub-community plan with planning boards changes

tonight's meeting is the third session in a series of meetings to consider the plan for adoption

the east boulder sub community plan and then we just get that off the radar instead of holding that one hostage

as council and the community know the planning board spent about seven hours with this last thursday night

the third kind of big chunk is the continued public hearing on the east boulder sub community plan

adopt the east boulder sub-community plan including the incorporated 55th and arapahoe station area plan

would that language and the sub-community plan be considered a rationale or a criterion for additional heights during a site review

we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us in drafting the form-based code to help implement um the east boulder sub-community plan

Our final review with a potential recommendation on the east boulder sub Community plan which we did a 90% review of last month

I don't know the details like how much is in the folders on Community plan area.

we did receive the updated draft just the other day I looked through it today.

the sub-community plan also calls out for public paseos and public public park like spaces

within the east boulder sub-community plan there is definitely an increase in residential development

it was about the east boulder community um east bulldog community sub community plan

my support for the consent agenda relating to um the east boulder sub-community plan is going to have a reservation

while i have a good degree of support for the east boulder sub-community plan

we'll have more focus on east boulder sub-community plan later in this evening and here we'll just take a deep dive

that guidance will be part of what we use to craft form-based code for these different areas of change

the east boulder sub-community plan is only the second plan of this scale that the city has ever done

So the form based code has a lot more flexibility in terms of design and creating interesting spaces

So we would expect a similar timeline for implementation of the East boulder plan and anticipate that change in this area

share the draft East builder subcommittee plan and hear the feedback on the plan

there are four major deliverables of the East boulder said Community plan

So we're in the final stage of the East boulder sub Community planning process to date

we're here to present the latest draft of the East builder sub Community plan

East boulder working group East boulder development, you know the millennium that all of this development

the east boulder sub-community plan uh but just note obviously that has not yet been adopted

in regards to the east Boulder sub community plan implementation is there any way that you can

we're moving towards um the adoption of the East Boulder sub community plan

we are completing the east boulder subcommittee plan in the next few months which is very exciting

Having consultants help us draft the form based code and then you know that's just an example

there's still quite a bit of job potential in East boulder especially beyond the life of this plan

a really very interesting presentation on the east boulder sub Community plan

we will be hearing a presentation on the east folder sub Community plan

the East boulder subcommittee plan there's a draft out and staff would like to come back to have at the November meeting

is expressed in the East Boulder sub community plan the golf course is adjacent to the southern border of that area

they're creating a form based code informed by Community engagement for the Alpine balsam area

or a form based code informed by Community

so it's this isn't the first place that's been applied

we talked about in the context of the east boulder subcommittee plan

the conversation we're having around form based codes both at alpine balsam and and what's there at 38 pearl

thank the members of tab for the thoughtful work that they've done on the east folder sub community plan

in conjunction with the east boulder sub-community plan and transportation as well

In the East boulder sub Community bland. You know the idea of having people live near where they work

that East folder sub Community plan mentions climate in in the most general of ways

but also presenting on the form based code for Alpine helpline balsam

sub-community plans are used um for guidance in development review and then for those far numbers

related to housing um boards members wanted more detail about the types of housing products that might be built in east boulder

gave some direction for staff to move forward on that east boulder sub community plan

took responsibility for making a a trump opportunity zone out of East Boulder behind the Public's back

july is going to be the alpine balsam form-based code so that's one of the projects that's taking up my time

i would open it up for anything that you'd like to say on east boulder sub community plan

to present this in progress update on the east boulder sub-community plan this of course is a major effort

item 5a which is the east boulder sub community plan progress and next steps

why doesn't the one in charge stop the disaster in East Boulder and all the development just push it east

the growth in East Boulder puts us on another acceleration in out commuters by a factor of oneir

if we have a form-based code that will dictate very specifically what has to go there

the f the form based code is really exciting and then i'll be curious to see what they um come up with

we've recently hired a consultant to help write the form based code

I I THINK YOUOU WOULO EITHERER B BE SLOWINGNG WORK O E EAST BOULDER OR SOMOMEE COMMUNIY PLANAN

ONCE WE FINISHED THE EAST BOULDER SUB COMMUNITY PLAN

So the sub community plan has been has come before us twice since I've been on the board

I just wanted to bring up to like that East boulder sub community plan

and the east boulder sub community plan use tables and standards and community benef benefit

the next is the east boulder sub community plan uh and that work is on track and scheduled

we were also pleased by the east boulder sub-community plan working group project as an innovation

consider the planning board's intent on this in conjunction with the work that we're doing in the East Boulder subcommunity planning process

the way that these mixed use categories are described in the bbcp

so for instance you know the form based code has fenestration requirements so a minimum percentage of windows per floor

the form-based code goes into a little bit more detail by having specific percentages of masonry materials

that east boulder sub community plan would help inform you know more holistic changes to that particular industrial area

the East boulder so community plan has a big housing focus, which you guys might be interested in

we have kicked off a effort to create more sub Community plans starting in East Boulder

you indicated specifically that there were furlows that might be impacting contractors on the E East Boulder sub community plan

the project is also linked to some of the East Boulder sub Community work which is also underway

adopting the East Boulder sub community plan again this one is in progress and on schedule

the development of east boulder is something that's going to take quite a while no matter how we approach it

or where are we with the East Boulder sub community plan things like that

the next one East Boulder sub Community Plan launched the financial strategy committee

work on the East Boulder sub community plan will continue in 2020

financial strategy Community Benefit East Boulder homelessness south fold RC South visions your own police oversight

we continue with police oversight each Boulder sub Community Plan Community Benefit climate mobilization vision zero

the East Boulder sub Community Plan will be coming forward to Council again

through 2020 we will complete the the East Boulder subcommunity plan

the next one is the East Boulder subc Community Plan so on last year we kicked off

in Boulder Junction with a form based code it gets a little more prescriptive

we're having in East Boulder right now with the East Boulder subcommunity plan

that yes we have we are starting this East subcommunity plan but these people were not part of the process

current sub-community plan doesn't have much to do with existing housing

we are working on the East Boulder sub community plan which involves an area that is mostly to the eastern part

we're finally doing another major sub Community Plan and I came out of the North Boulder sub community plan

JUST LOVE THE FORM BASED CODE MAKES ALL THIS REALLY EASY

I WOULD LIKE AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO SEE SOME FORM BASED CODE ON THE CITY PARCELS

I always kind of envisioned this as something that could be applied to North Boulder because it does have a sub community plan and then take whatever is done there

THAT CAN BE PICKED UP IN EAST BOULDER COMMUNITY PLAN

ANY CHANGES COMING OUT OF THE EAST BOULDER SUB COMMUNITY PLANNER BEEN INCORPORATED

DEFERRED TO THE EAST BOULDER SUBCOMMITTEE PLANNING PROCESS

sub be involved in this sub community plan as a with neighborhood Representatives

it will guide any future design controls that might include the design guidelines or form based codes

there be some kind of form based code so to get a little even more geeky

I don't know the East Boulder sub community plan defined boundary per se off the top of my head

we're gonna go into the east folder or sub-community plan and I don't know if this will this parcel is included in that

council selected East Boulder which is great so this is the first sub community planning process

the parcels out here are very large and there's fewer property owners than there might be in another part of town

we've been putting together this East Boulder sub community plan an engagement scrapbook

on the subcommittee planning project which is now really the East Boulder sub community planning

to deal with this had to do with the form-based codes

would be something like the downtown design guidelines in other words it will have regulatory interpretive kind of control but not strict control like a form based code would

how would this be different from form-based code

we could enact future changes through the sub community plan

I think we're looking at future changes that might come out of the East Boulder or sub Community Plan

then we can write zoning if we want to like we did in Boulder Junction that's form based code

AND THIS WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR STAFF AGAIN COULD WE APPLY FORM BASED CODE HERE

I would imagine also that you would have a similar role for the east boulder sub community plan that is underway

THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFIT LOTS OF BENEFIT TO THE FORM BASED CODE BUT I THINK SOME OF THAT

RECALL THAT THIS IS A FORM BASED CODE PILOT AND I SEE THIS AS A PIECE OF PUZZLE

FORM BASED CODE REVIEW FOR TWENTY THREE SIXTY THIRTIETH STREET

maintain some semblance of control for example form-based code so too things like how could we address

followed by Community Benefit and then the sub Community Plan so as far as your outreach and your community engagement

discussion around some of the issues the youth tables community benefit and sub community plan

let's say you were to start with the east boulder sub-community plan arapaho is a major component

we could move on to the sub community plan in the east

the way that you geographically define that East Boulder area will be the first step to doing a sub community plan

opportunity zones to include East Boulder sub-community plan and redraw boundaries

the form based code review that's just kicked off is for the entire site is that correct

it is a form-based code process which is pretty prescriptive and we will be following that

it is form based code um so there won't be a site review process it will be the the form based code process

will often have a study session just like on the sub Community Plan we haven't had large lots yet

dividing up East Boulder into three I what's the third part

the staff felt that they responded well to the form based code it interacted well with the the park

to the park and the team has experience with with with the form based code
