Draft HAB recommendation to City Council and staff
From Leccese 5/12/2022
The Boulder Housing Advisory Board recommends that City Council begin the
process as soon as possible for planning additional housing at two key sites: the
Planning Reserve and Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) II. HAB recognizes that
planning for the desired results of affordable, middle-income (“Missing Middle”)
is a long and technical process. This will require the hiring of consultants, long-
range and coordinated staff efforts, extensive public participation, the planning
and funding of infrastructure, and coordination of vertical development among
public, private and nonprofit entities.
The time to start these related processes is now; perhaps launching with the
hiring of consultants to study technical and economic issues.
As much as possible, Council should also set high expectations for all the elements
of “15-minute neighborhoods,” including diversity, quality architecture, mixed-
use, mixed-income housing including for-sale options, welcoming public spaces
and walkable/bike-friendly spaces with access to transit.
