City Council discussed the project and the specific purpose and rola of the Task Force on several occasions over the last few months. This memorandum will summarize the most recent discussion at the City Council meeting on September 4, 2001. It includes recommendations from the City Manager, City Council, and Planning Staff regarding the scope, role, and timeline for the Jobs to Population Balance Project. The recommendations described below are the starting point for the Task Force which, during the course of its work, can go back to City Council with proposed changes from those outlined below. Since the Task Force will not inciude representatives from City Council, Planning Board, or other boards, City Council has requested frequent updates specifically with Council and Planning Board. A facilitator, Mike Hughes, has been engaged by the City to manage the task.force meetings, to work with staff and task force members to set the meeting agendas, and to work with staff and task force members between meetings to prepare each task force meeting. Staff has proposed that the process is completed in a year's time frame, and City Counci] has requested staff to idendfy ways to fiuther reduce that time frame. Purpose The City Council has concurred with the staff recommendation that the recently adopted Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan policy on Jobs to Population Balance provide the direction for the project. The 8na1 wording of the policy has resulted from piecemeal editing by all four signatory bodies to the Comprehensive Plan. City Council recently agreed with the County Commissioners' condition that staff bring back the results of the jobs to population project to all four signatory bodies to be integrated into a future comprehansive plan amendment. The S:plan\co-etems~nemosUg jobs to pop fask force 9 4 Ol.doc Page I approved Jobs to Population Balance policy is included in bold below and will provide the direction for the Task Force. JOBS: POPULATION BALANCE. In recent years, employment in the city has grown significantly more than housing. This has resulted in increased in commu4ing, a,greater daytime popularion, and a general increase in traffic congesfion and 6ousing prices. In the year Z000, the ratio of fhe number of jobs to the population in the Boulder Valley was estimated at .92:1 (107,074 jobs: 114,580 popularion). If current trends continue, the ratio is projected to become 1.21:1 by the year 2020. The generally accepted planning standard for a balanced jobs-to-population ratio is .65 to 1. Given current policies, the city and county agree that the current ratio within the Boulder Valley exceeds an appropriate ratio and the planning standard, and that a worsening of that ratio beyond 1:1 will lead to greater regional traffic congestion, affordable housing shortfalls, and other negative impacts on the community as a whole. The city will therefore embark on a public process to determine whether or not the 1:1 ratio is appropriate. This will be accomplished through a public process that witl establish an appropriate and acceptable jobs-to- population ratio and identify a combination of acrions that will reduce the amount of commercial growth, create more affordable housing, and mitigate t6e impacts of traffic congestion. Role of the Task Force The role of the Task Force is: To assist the city of Boulder's staff, Planning Board, and City Council as they explore the desirable jobs to population ratio and the coaesponding implementation measures. This will consist primarily of generating alternative future jobs to population scenarios and examining the implications and costs and benefits of each scenario. The scenarios should include a current trends altemative (no intervention), one that comes close to balancing new jobs and population, and several others between these two. • Learn about existing commercial zoning and current development trends • Examine projecHons for future commercial development, inctuding examining the methods used to generate the projections and the assumptions that underlie the projections • Offer advice about how to improve the quality and potential accuracy of the projections • Offer advice about how best to involve the public in evaluating different future scenarios and providing input to staff, Planning Board, and City Council • Offer advice about the implementation of a jobs to population ratio that could be realistically achieved S:plan\cc-items~cnemos\lg jobs to pop task force 9 4 Ol.doc Page 2 Role of City Staff The following are the roles of city staff: • To provide the expertise, resources, and information needed for the task force to accomplish their tasks as outline' above; • To meet with Planning Board and City Council, and other boazds, as needed in joint study sessions as well as regular updates to keep them informed of the progress of the project; • To meet regulazly with an interdepartmental coordinating group, including planning, transportation, and housing, and ensure coordination with the transportation master plan (TMP) update. • To work with the facilitator and task force members to set agendas for the task force meetings; • To carry out the public process; • To summarize the work of the task force and the results of the public process to Planning Board and City Council to make final recommendations. Project Assumptions The primarv focus of the project is the commercial zones which were not analyzed as part of the 1997 Comprehensive Rezoning, but the proiect should also consider incentive based strategies for the zones that were revised in 1997. The city's 1997 Comprehensive Rezoning project reduced potential future job growth by an estimated 12,000 jobs in the industrial zones, in commercial zones downtown, and in North Boulder through purchase and regulatory changes. Transportation demand management strateQies will also be included. Boulder has already implemented the easy and even some difficult transportation demand management (TDMs) strategies to reduce traffic impacts. In conjunction with the Update to the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and this project, additional transportation demand management strategies will be explored, particularly geared to employee pazking citywide. • There should be a public outreach effort that includes the public at each phase of the project. • BVCP Polic~as direction. The charge and direction for the task force will come from the new Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan policy on Jobs to Population Balance. • Coordination between the jobs to population balance project and the update to the Transportation Master Plan (TMP.) Whenever possible, joint efforts will be undertaken.
