DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Staff has identified the following questions to help guide the board’s discussion:
1. Does the Does the Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan adequately and
appropriately address the key feedback themes from the 60% Draft plan
engagement window?
2. What revisions to the Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan or the 55th and
Arapahoe Station Area Plan does the Housing Advisory Board (HAB) suggest to
staff and City Council to finalize the plan for adoption?
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is for HAB to review the Draft East Boulder Subcommunity
Plan and provide feedback to city staff and City Council that will direct updates to the
plan. In January 2019 City Council identified East Boulder as the first subcommunity
2
since North Boulder to go through a planning process as part of a re-established
subcommunity planning program. In the fall of 2021, boards, council and community
members reviewed the 60% Draft of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan and provided
feedback to the team and working group. That feedback informed updates to the plan and
now, the three-year planning process is in the final phase of the scope of work, Plan
Documentation and Adoption. The Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan is currently
available for community review and feedback through April 4, 2022. HAB feedback on
the draft plan will inform final updates to the draft plan and be shared with City Council
at an April 12, 2022 meeting.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK
The East Boulder Subcommunity Plan process is committed to working in the collaborate
space of Boulder’s Engagement Spectrum, as described in the city’s Engagement
Strategic Framework. To date, the process has included 22 engagement opportunities,
including three Spanish-language sessions, and connected with over 1,600 participants.
The East Boulder Working Group, a 21-person group of committed community members
held 30 meetings over three years to shape the plan’s major components. Additionally,
the process has been engaged in 18 meetings with city boards, nine events with advocacy
groups and seven city council sessions. For a full capture of the project’s engagement
efforts and summaries of community feedback, see the East Boulder Engagement
Scrapbook.
BACKGROUND
Subcommunity Planning
A Subcommunity Plan is a tool for residents, landowners, business owners, city officials
and city staff that communicates expectations about the future of a subcommunity and
guides decision-making about subcommunity resilience and evolution into the future.
The Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan
The Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan is available as Attachment A.
The draft plan includes the following major deliverables:
(1) Land Use Plan – The East Boulder Subcommunity land use plan recommends key
changes to the BVCP Land Use Map to achieve the vision statements. These
recommended changes are intended to be implemented through amendments to the
BVCP, including the land use map and land use map descriptions. The land use plan can
also be used to guide changes to the city’s land use code. The BVCP land use map guides
future zoning decisions. The East Boulder Land Use Plan can be found on page 19 of
Attachment A.
(2) Connections Plan – The East Boulder Connections Plan is created alongside the
Land Use Plan to support proposed land uses and contribute to citywide and local goals
for access and mobility. The plan includes two key components: (1) New Connections;
and (2) System Enhancements. The plan serves as a right-of-way plan that will be land
development and transportation connections as described in the Boulder Revised Code
3
Section 9-9-8. The plan will be incorporated into the TMP and replace portions of earlier
network plans that cover East Boulder. Transportation improvements included in the
Connections Plan will be built by property owners as part of redevelopment and through
city projects or a combination of the two.
The Connections Plan can be found on page 49 of Attachment A.
(3) Recommendations Matrix – The East Boulder Recommendations Matrix identifies
key policy, program and project recommendations to implement the deliverables listed
above. The matrix represents a collection of community ideas for making changes to East
Boulder that will result in a resilient future. Recommendations matrix begins on page 67
of Attachment A.
(4) The 55th and Arapahoe Station Area Plan – The 55th and Arapahoe Station Area
Plan, provides a more detailed study outlining the vision, feasibility, and implementation
strategies for this catalytic site. The Station Area Plan is an area plan that is part of the
East Boulder Subcommunity Plan and can found as Attachment B.
How will this plan be used?
The plan represents the future vision for the East Boulder subcommunity. It is not
intended, in the near term, to prevent property owners and users from improving or using
the property in a manner that is consistent with the underlying zoning until the property is
rezoned or redeveloped. Any additional construction will be done in a manner that does
not conflict with the Connections Plan. The East Boulder Subcommunity Plan is adopted
by the Planning Board and City Council. The plan serves as a tool for various community
members:
Boulder Residents, Property Owners and Business Owners
Subcommunity Plans are created in collaboration with the community and offer Boulder
residents, property owners and business owners an opportunity to consider how changes
in land use, transportation, policies or programs could impact their local properties,
investments or businesses. They also offer community members a commitment from the
city to make changes that will implement the vision statements included in the plan.
City of Boulder Decision-Makers
The East Boulder Subcommunity plan will be used by decision-makers and city
leadership, such as city Boards and Council to inform a myriad of decisions, from
funding for future capital projects to regional collaboration for potential recommended
policies, programs, or projects.
City of Boulder Staff
As a tool, city staff will refer to the plan to inform staff work plans and department
budgets for future programs or projects. Within the city’s Planning and Development
Services department (P&DS), a subcommunity plan offers guidance for planning staff
when considering projects in the development review process and other planning related
applications.

PROCESS
Community Review and Engagement Window
The draft plan is posted for community review and feedback. Community comments will
be collected through a Be Heard Boulder questionnaire. A community meeting to present
the draft plan and answer community questions is scheduled to be held on March 30. This
engagement window will be open through April 4.
City Council will review the latest draft plan and provide feedback on April 12. City staff
will use working group, boards, council and community feedback to make final updates
to the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.
Adoption Process
City Council and Planning Board will hold a joint public hearing on the potential
adoption of the final East Boulder Subcommunity Plan. Planning Board will then
consider approval of the Subcommunity Plan. Should Planning Board approve the East
Boulder Subcommunity Plan, the plan will be considered for adoption by the City
Council. If Planning Board does not approve of the plan, city staff will continue to iterate
the plan and return to Planning Board for approval.
Once adopted, the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan will serve as a regulatory document
for redevelopment in East Boulder and provide city staff with guidance on work planning
to implement strategies identified in the plan.
ANALYSIS OF KEY ISSUES
1. Key Issue #1: Does the Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan adequately and
appropriately address the key feedback themes from the 60% Draft plan
engagement window?
60% Draft Plan Engagement (Fall 2021)
The 60% Draft Plan, also called the Community Review Draft, was shared with city
boards and City Council in July 2021 and with the community in the fall of 2021. The
purpose of the 60% Draft plan was to present essential recommendations and deliverables
of the subcommunity plan to community members, groups, boards and council to (1)
confirm the major components of the plan make appropriate, context-based
recommendations to help achieve citywide goals, and (2) offer an opportunity for
community members to continue to refine and/or revise these components at a key
milestone in the delivery of the project.
Engagement activities with the community occurred between October and December
2021 including open house meetings with nearby neighbors and property-owners, a
community event, a Spanish-language meeting and online questionnaire. Outreach and
notification included a mailing to over 5,000 addresses in and near the area, informational
videos, social media, e-newsletters and through the working group members. Over 300
people participated in at least one event or venue.
5
City boards and council members expressed support overall for the process, plan
recommendations and direction of the plan, many emphasizing support for the areas of
change and 15-minute mixed use neighborhoods. There was strong support for the
approach to targeting select areas for change and the fine-grain approach in the 55th &
Arapahoe area.
Overall community support for the recommendations in the 60% Draft was high.
Generally, people agreed that this is an appropriate area for strategic areas of change to
denser residential and mixed-use development to create 15-minute neighborhoods.
Those with mixed feelings expressed a range of viewpoints: some want to see a lot more
change to integrate more housing and others expressed concerns with certain aspects of
the plan and hope impacts can be mitigated (i.e. parking, building heights, public spaces).
People raised concerns about loss of businesses, more traffic and congestion,
compatibility of residential and industrial uses. There is excitement for new travel
options, improvements on Arapahoe, and future Bus Rapid Transit.
Attachment C includes more detailed feedback in the following summaries:
a. Board and Council feedback on the 60% draft plan – July 2021
b. Overall summary of the 60% Draft Plan engagement activities and feedback
c. BeHeardBoulder questionnaire summary – Fall 2021
d. Working Group feedback on the 90% Draft Plan and Draft 55th & Arapahoe Draft
Station Area Master Plan – March 2022
Key themes addressed in updates to the Draft Plan
Feedback from community members, boards and council are summarized in the
following key themes. The summaries also include information about how this feedback
is addressed in the updated Draft Plan.

• Further define the intentions for areas of change (building and neighborhood
character, public spaces and greenspace, walkability)
o Area of change neighborhood descriptions and place types were revised to
describe the preferred development patterns and uses including
performance expectations. These sections can be found on pages 25-32 of
Attachment A. Additional guidance for change is also included in the
Place Types map and performance standards, found on pages 35-43. This
information will directly inform zoning and serve as guidance for urban
design; associated images/renderings help clarify area character.
o Implementation includes policies, projects, and programs to shape place-
making and further describe the intent for urban design issues such as
high-quality and accessible public spaces, protection of view corridors
from public spaces, variation in rooflines, greenway revitalization and
others. Refer to Chapter 5 of Attachment A for implementation
recommendations.
• Clarify housing affordability and diversity, especially for housing to address
the needs of “missing middle income” households
o For this key goal area the neighborhood descriptions include estimates for
number and types of units based on a conceptual redevelopment scenario
(see pages 25-32).
o Implementation includes policies to support a mix of unit types that would
house a range of household and income types.
o Building on the recommendations in Boulder’s Middle Income Housing
Strategy to “provide a greater variety of housing choices for middle-
income families and Boulder’s workforce”, the plan proposes several steps
that aim to result in new housing to serve this need. These include:
Enabling more middle-income housing options on land
currently zoned industrial
Expanding the Community Benefit Program to further develop
a menu of incentives to encourage private developers to
provide units that are affordable low- and moderate- income
housing and market rate middle-income options.
Encouraging a mix of unit types and sizes, including units that
will meet the needs of families, with two or more bedrooms.
• Ensure viability of space for industrial services and businesses to thrive and
attention to business displacement
o Areas of change were deliberate to focus new housing and commercial
uses only in specific areas – ensuring the majority of the subcommunity
(over 500 acres) remain designated for industrial uses.
7
o Place Types describe allowable light industrial uses on ground floors and
expectations for higher ground floor ceiling heights to accommodate such
use.
o Implementation includes policies to enable ground floor spaces suited to
small businesses and programs to develop new spaces, potentially as
partnerships in city-owned facilities for small-business incubators.
o Implementation includes recommendation for an East Boulder Business
Retention program
Key Issue #2 What are the revisions to the Draft East Boulder Subcommunity Plan or the
55th and Arapahoe Station Area Plan that HAB would like to suggest to staff and City
Council?
To date, a few groups have weighed in on the latest draft of the Subcommunity Plan:
The East Boulder Working Group received the draft plan in early March and met on
March 3 and March 14 to discuss their feedback on the draft plan. Working group
members offered feedback for refinements to improve the plan:
• Provide a better description of the incremental nature of plan implementation and
the overall planning horizon (20-year)
• Include the metrics that describe differences in key indicators (housing, jobs)
between the “No-Change/Trend” scenario and the recommended East Boulder
Subcommunity Plan concept
• Include definition of missing middle housing and assurances of a diversity of
housing types
• Better describe the value that implementation of the plan offers to the city
• Would like to see higher degree of specificity for incentivizing affordable
commercial space and to address business displacement
• Incorporate more in the place types for climate resilient design and innovative
streetscape/ public realm design
The working group suggested the following updates to the 55th and Arapahoe Station
Area Plan:
• Area Plan and Subcommunity plan need to be more consistent across documents
in final recommendation, particularly the Place Type performance standards
• Minimum FAR recommendations need further vetting
• Consider revisions to the setback recommendations
In addition to specific feedback on both the EBSP and STAMP plan elements, working
group members were asked “what’s one key thing you would like to share with decision-
makers?”. Their responses are included in Attachment C. Throughout the process
8
members have expressed a range of views about the areas of change and the appropriate
density within them.
Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) met on March 14, 2022 to provide feedback on the
draft plan. In general, TAB members are supportive of the Connections and Mobility plan
and Access and Mobility recommendations included in the draft plan. TAB members
suggested the following updates:
• Update language in the plan to create stronger ties between the future
management of Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and the city’s climate
commitment
• The Mixed Use Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) land use description should
be described as offering users access to daily needs in less than 15-minutes
(instead of as a 15-minute neighborhood)
• Prioritizing safety and vision zero should be emphasized in the plan
• Update rendering of 55th and Arapahoe to provide inspiration and additional
guidance on improvements to facilities like intersection treatments
• Emphasize transportation upgrades along Valmont Road
• Initiatives driving the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) should be identified in
the plan
• Add criteria that describes what a high-quality BRT station will include
• Would like more detailed recommendation for improvements to 55th Street
• Consider paved trail connections for future regional trails instead of soft-surface
NEXT STEPS
Planning Board will review the draft plan on March 31. City Council will review the draft
plan and provide feedback on April 12. City staff will use working group, boards, council
and community feedback to make final updates to the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.
