Business to Mixed Use - Business; Parcet 5 from Light Industrial to Transitional Business; Parcel
8 from General Business to High Density Residential; and Parcel9 from Low Density Residential
to Medium Density Residential. B. Pommer opposed the redesignation of Parcel 1P because she
thought that it should be part of a later discussion about mixed use relative to the commercial growth
project.
PareellQ, east of 30th, north ofEaseline. The proposed change to High Density Residential
would provide a better adge along 30th Street in terms of access, compatibility, and
appearance and provide a good opportunity for additional housing due to its proximity to
student housing, the University of Colorado, and high-frequency bus service.

MOTION: Qn a motion by P. Gowen, seconded by A. O'Hashi, the Pianning Board approved (6-0;
A. Gunter was not present For this item) the staffrecommendation to redesignate Parcel 1Q from
Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential. B. Pommer voted for the motion, but she
said that the east neighborhood represents the most affordable housing in Boulder, and the
redesignation might ofFset some ofthe tranquility that now exists. NZ. Ruzzin supported the motion
because he thought that the redesignation might allow better site design sotutions than what cunently
exists on the east side of 30th Street.
Parcel4A, west of Broadway, south ofAlpine, and Parcel4B, west of Broadway, north of
Alpine. The proposed change for Parcel 4A to Transitional Business would raflect the
predominance of office uses in the azea, and the proposed change for Parcel 4B to
Public/Semi Public would reflect the hospital ownership.

corridor along the creek to retain the existing Open Space designation.
Area II Designations
S. Richstone said that the Area II designation was created for lands within the service area that were
planned for annexation to the city. She said that the Area II boundary was identified using the
following criteria: areas that had existing development, areas where existing water, sewer, and
roadways were located, logicai boundaries, land needs as far as projections in the Comprehensive
Plan for the 15-year planning period, capital improvements program in terms of city service plans,
and finances.
J. Charlier explained the format for the site-by-site traffic analysis, including whether the site is in
a transit oriented, pedestrian friendly area, whether it is in an area with a rich mix of complementary
uses, whether it would be directly served by high capacity transit now or in the future, how many
additional daily vehicle trips would be generated, whether the changes would load vehicle trips into
an arterial intersection thai is or is expected to be at leve] service F(roadways that during peak
periods reach gridlock), and the prospects for substantially mitigating the impacts. He said that the
traffic impacts could not be mitigated at the following sites: Parcel2A (Crossroads), Parcels 13A,
13B,13C, and 13D (north of Kalmia), Parcel 15 (south of the East Boulder Recreation Center), and
Parcel 17 (east Arapahoe Road).
R. Rutsch, said that although additional traffic in the above areas is not an issue from a
transportation/engineering perspectiva (the streets have the capacity to handle the expected traffic,
s:\pl an\pb-items\mi n utes\O l 0314mi n. wpd
City of Boulder
March 14, 2001
• Planning Board Minutes
Pa~e 12
and improvements could be made at the surrounding intersections that would mitigate anypotential
impacts at those intersections), the neighbors have issues regarding how additiona] traffic will
change the character of their neighborhood.
J. Charlier said that there would be a slight decrease in average daily traffic in the Boulder Valley
from the proposed BVCP changes because the changes include a significant reduction in anticipated
employment. He responded to issues raised in a letter from Steve Pomerance regarding the projected
traffic impacts, including underfunding for the Transportation Master Plan, sufficient capacity and
congestion, cost ofimpacts paid by developers, traffic impacts at Crossroads, the difference in traffic
projections from the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) and from the traffic
assessment for the BVCP, and accounting for the number of trips generated per job at the various
sites. He addressed traffic mitigation for the Kalmia sites (increased emphasis on ridership on and
improvement to connections to the high-frequency transit service and neighborhood Ecopass) and
for the site at the East Boulder Comtnunity Center (splitting of traffic between the major east-west
arterials north and south of the site),
• Parce112A and Parce112B, east of 47th, south of Jay Road. Parcal 12A is proposed for no
change from Low Density Residential to allow for potential development of an elementary
school, and the proposed change for Parcel 12B to Medium Density Residential would
• accommodate a variety of housing types.

MOTION: On a motion by P. Gowen, seconded by A. O'Hashi, the Planning Boazd approved (6-1;
A. Gunter opposed) the staff recommendation to retain the designation for Parcel 12A as Low
Density Residential and to redesignate Parcel 12B from Low Density Residential to Medium
Density Residential, A. Gunter opposed the motion to redesig~ate Parcel l2B because the
community character is low density, and since the property is on the edge of town, it will never have
the density to have a good transportation system. M. Ruzzin supported the motion because he said
that the city has a responsibility to try to house the people who are going to be working in the city.
B. Pommer supported the motion because the site is accessible, the traffic numbers are low for this
particular site, and there will be a diversity of housing stock. ,
Parcel 13A, Parcel 13B, Parcel 13C, and Parcel 13D (east of 30th, north of Kalmia
Avanue). The proposed change for Parcel 13A to Mixed Density Residential, and Parcels
13C and 13D to Medium Density Residential will ensure a mixture of housing types, will
provide flexibility in the site design and compatibility with adjacent land uses, and will
provide enough density to ensure a significant amount of affordable hoasing. The retention
of the Low Density Residential designation on Parcel 13B recognizes the Airport Influence
Zone where residential land uses are not allowed and the intent to locate community uses
such as the existing church.

Density Residential would recognize that higher residential density in this area of the site
would be less of an impact to the sensitive environmental resources in the adjacent area, and
medium density housing in this area would be compatible with the townhouses to the north.
MOTION: On a motion by P. Gowen, seconded by T. Nielsen, the Planning Board approved (6-1;
A. Gunter opposed) the staff recommendation to redesignate Parcel 14A from Low Density
Residential To Mediurn Density Residential. P. Gowen said that a Medium Residential @esignation
can coexist with Low DensityResidential ifthe site is designed well and ifthere is adequate access.
T. Nielsen said that she supported the motion because the site is adjacent to a lot of open ]and and
park area, which helps to mitigate the increase in density, and is along a major arterial street. B.
Pommer supported the motion because the site is near bicycle paths.
Parcel 15B and Parcel 15C, south of the East Boulder Recreadon Center. The proposed
change far Parce115B to V ery Low Density Residential would be consistent with the existing
residential use of the site and wouid protect the environmental resources east of SSth Street
by minimizing the additional number of residences directly adjacent to sensitive species
habitat. Tha proposed change for Parcel 15C to Environmental Preservation would protect
the environmental resources east of SSth Street.

MOTION: On a motion by B. Pommer, seconded by P. Gowen, the Planning Board agreed (6-1;
A. Guttter opposed) to continue these items to the meeting on March 15, 2001 and asked staff to
present more information about any analysis of the impact difference between Mixed Density
Residential and Medium Density Residentia! land designations. A. Gunter opposed the motion
because if the Board thinks that the land use designation change would create impacts that could not
be mitigated, then we should retain the present designation.
Since the Board did not finish its deliberations on the BVCP, the foilowing motion was made to
continue the meeting.
