SUMMARY Project Name: New Vista High School Location: 700 20th St Size of Property 12.5 acres Zoning: Residential – High 5 (RH-5) Comprehensive Plan: Public (PUB), High Density Residential (HR) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is for Planning Board to review and comment on the New Vista High School Site Development Plan proposing to replace the existing New Vista High School with a new building, consistent with CRS § 22-32-124. This state law requires the board of education of the school district to submit a site development plan for review and comment to the planning commission or governing body of a municipality prior to construction. In addition, the planning board or governing body may request a public hearing before the board of education of the school district regarding the site development plan. State law does not further describe the review process, nor does it specify criteria for review and comment. Staff recommends a review process similar to a concept plan review including review for consistency with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) as it establishes the vision for Boulder. If the site plan is not consistent with the BVCP, staff recommends the planning board consider providing comments to the board of education. If the board wishes to make comments, staff recommends a motion be made directing staff to draft a letter to the Boulder Valley School District Board of Directors, incorporating the city’s comments and requesting any proposed changes, which letter may be signed by the city manager. Next Steps: Staff will send the site development plan and any planning board action to city council for call-up consideration. PUBLIC FEEDBACK The review and comment outlined in this memo is being conducted pursuant C.R.S. § 22-32-124; no mailings or sign postings are required. The process to construct a new school facility has been ongoing for a few years. In Nov. 2022, voters approved Issue 5A for a bond measure that included “replacing the 70-year- old New Vista High School building, which has reached the end of its service life, with a modern, energy-efficient building.” Information and full ballot language is available at: https://www.bvsd.org/departments/operational-services/critical-needs Additionally, meetings were held from 2021 to 2022 by the BVSD Design Advisory Team (DAT) for the design of the school. The DAT included teachers, staff, parents and community members who worked with the architects to develop the design for the project and provided opportunities for public comment. A summary of the meetings and additional information is available at: https://bond.bvsd.org/school-projects/new-vista-high-school BOARD FEEDBACK At its meeting on May 3, 2023, the Landmarks Board provided the following statement regarding the proposal: The city of Boulder’s landmarks board acknowledges the historic and architectural significance of the New Vista high school and appreciates your stewardship of the property. We strongly encourage documentation of the significant buildings and people associated with your property as you explore development options and hope that you use our preservation staff’s comments as a tool to evaluate the historic merit as you proceed. Attachment D includes the historic preservation staff comments providing context in relation to the Landmarks Board’s statement. BACKGROUND Existing Conditions: As shown in Figure 1, the subject property is an approximately 12.5-acre site located northwest of the intersection of Broadway and Baseline Rd. The property contains the existing New Vista High School facility including existing buildings, parking, and recreational fields. Figure 1- Existing site and its surroundings As shown in Figure 2 on the following page, the property is adjacent to 20th St., Baseline Rd., and Broadway. One point of vehicular access to the site exists from Baseline Rd. into the existing parking area located south of the building. The primary building entrance currently fronts onto 20th St. Sports fields and courts including baseball, football/soccer, tennis, and basketball exist on the property. The high point of the site is located at the southwest corner with the site sloping towards Broadway with elevation changes of over 30 feet. The site has been developed for approximately 70 years as a school use. There are some mature trees at the perimeter of the site, near the existing school building and street trees in the public right-of-way. Views of the Flatirons are visible across the site as depicted in Figure 2. The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of uses, including: • To the east across Broadway, University of Colorado Boulder main campus; • To the southeast, two condo and apartment buildings and Boulder Fire Station #2; • To the south across Baseline Rd., primarily single-family detached homes as well as some duplexes and apartment buildings; • To the west across 20th St., apartment buildings and duplexes; • To the north, apartment and condo buildings. Figure 2- Views of existing site BVCP Land Use Designation: As shown in Figure 3, the underlying Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) land use designation is primarily Public (PUB), which reflects the current high school use. Public land use designations encompass a wide range of uses that provide a community service including public schools. There is a small area at the north extents of the property with an underlying land use designation of High Density Residential (HR). This area has been occupied by the existing baseball diamond Left: Primary building entrance facing 20th St Right: Building and parking lot from Baseline Rd Left: Sports fields and property from Broadway for multiple decades, thus it is not clear why this remnant land use designation exists in this area of the property. Figure 3- BVCP Land Use Designations Existing Zoning: The property is in the RH-5, Residential – High 5 zoning district, which is described in 9-5-2(c)(1)(F), B.R.C. 1981 as “High density residential areas primarily used for a variety of types of attached residential units, including without limitation, apartment buildings, and where complementary uses may be allowed.” Public elementary, middle, or high schools are allowed in the zoning district by-right. Surrounding city zoning districts are shown in Figure 4 and primarily include RH-5 to the west and southeast, RM-2 (Residential – Medium 2) zoning further west, RL-1 (Residential – Low 1) zoning to the south, and P (Public) zoning to the east on the CU Boulder campus. PUB Figure 4- Surrounding Zoning Districts Area Plans: The subject property is not located within the boundaries of any adopted area plans. It is located in the Central Boulder - University Hill Subcommunity. Transit: The site is served by transit routes primarily running along Broadway and Baseline near the site, including routes 204 (Table Mesa Shopping center north along Broadway and 19th St. to north Boulder), 225/225D/225T (Boulder to Lafayette), Dash (Boulder to Louisville and Lafayette), Skip (south Boulder to north Boulder along Broadway), Bound (Basemar Shopping Center to Diagonal Plaza along 30th St), AB1 (Boulder to DIA), FF1/FF2 (Boulder to Denver Union Station), and FF5 (Boulder to Anschutz Medical Campus) routes; the Lyons Flyer, a Boulder County weekday route to Lyons that replaced the former “Y” route operated by RTD; the city’s summer Park-to-Park shuttle to Chautauqua offered on weekends/holidays from Memorial Day to Labor Day; and the HOP2Chautauqua shuttle offered on Chautauqua concert nights. Connections: As shown in Figure 5 on the following page, an on-street bike lane exists along the north side of Baseline Rd. Near the site, Baseline Rd. and Cascade Ave. are designated bike routes. An existing multi-use path is present along Broadway. The existing sidewalk along Baseline Rd. adjacent to the property is primarily a detached sidewalk while 20th Street is an attached sidewalk. The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) depicts a planned multi-use path across the northern edge of the subject property, as shown in Figure 5 in dashed green lines. The Low Street Walk and Bike Network Plan in the TMP depicts a Bike Lane along Baseline with a preference for buffered lane. Floodplain: As shown in Figure 6, portions of the southeastern area of the site are impacted by the 500-year floodplain of Skunk Creek. The proposed school building has been designed to remain outside of the floodplain area. Figure 5- Existing and Planned Connections Figure 6- 500 Year Floodplain Existing Building: Baseline Junior High School opened in 1954 to serve the needs of the growing community that experienced a large period of growth in the Post-World War II era. The building was designed by prominent Boulder architect James M. Hunter with a later addition by Hobart Wagener between 1955-1964. The original building included the north- south bar, a flared addition at the southwest corner, and a prominent vaulted gymnasium at the east elevation (Figure 7). Between 1955 and 1964, the north wing was constructed and was designed by Hobart Wagener (Figure 8). Between 1971 and 1983, three additions were built: a new entrance addition was constructed on the east elevation and additions at the east sides of the gymnasium and north wing. Between 1999 and 2004, an addition was built on the south side of the flared portion of the building at the southwest corner. It appears the footprint of the building has remained largely the same since 2004. Refer to Attachment D for additional historical information. According to the school’s website, New Vista High School currently serves approximately 330 students in grades 9 - 12 at the site. PROCESS CRS § 22-32-124(1)(a) states: “Prior to the acquisition of land or any contracting for the purchase thereof, the board of education of the school district in which the land is located shall consult with and advise in writing the planning commission, or governing body if no planning commission exists, that has jurisdiction over the territory in which the site is proposed to be located in order that the proposed site shall conform to the adopted plan of the community insofar as is feasible. In addition, the board of education shall submit a site development plan for review and comment to the planning commission or governing body prior to construction of any structure or building. The planning commission or governing body may request a public hearing before the board of education relating to the proposed site location or site development plan. The board of education shall thereafter promptly schedule the hearing, publish at least one notice in advance of the hearing, and provide written notice of the hearing to the requesting planning commission or governing body.” Figure 7- Baseline Junior High School, 1954. Carnegie Library for Local History. Figure 8- Proposed Addition to Baseline Junior High School, c. 1955-1964. Carnegie Library for Local History. Following this Review and Comment, the proposal would require the following processes: • Technical Document Review: Projects that include construction of public infrastructure or private infrastructure affecting the public right-of-way require approval of final construction documents prior to work in the Right-of-Way or Utility Permits being issued. • Building Permit Review: Building permits for public schools are reviewed by the State of Colorado, rather than the city. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project at New Vista High School is a replacement of the existing building. BVSD has determined that the existing building is no longer able to adequately serve the needs of a high school population. The replacement building is to be located adjacent to the existing building; following completion of the new building, the existing building would be demolished. Site Plan: As shown in Figure 9, the proposal consists of a new approximately 74,000 square- foot, two story high school building. The building is proposed to be located the east of the existing structure, more central to the site, with a parking area at the southwest corner. Figure 9- Proposed Site Plan Vehicular Access: The proposal includes maintaining one vehicular access point from Baseline Rd. which would be aligned with 21st St. to provide access into a parking lot, and adding a second access point along 20th St. A third vehicular access point is proposed at the north end of the site from 20th St. for a service access. Transit and Connections: As part of redevelopment, the proposal would maintain the existing conditions of the sidewalks along Baseline Rd. and 20th St. and would add additional internal sidewalks for access to and around the building. Approximately 26 bike racks / 52 bike parking spaces are proposed to be added in front of the building. Building Design: As shown in the proposed site plan, Figure 9, the building is designed with two “wings” connected in an oblique angle. The floor plan (refer to Attachment A) includes two stories, with a centrally located auditorium, the northern wing housing primarily dining, lab, fitness, and art studio spaces, and the southern wing housing primarily classroom and office spaces. Outdoor patio learning spaces have been incorportated into the design. Proposed materials include a mix of CMU veneer, metal panels, and aluminimum storefront systems. Refer to Attachment A for complete building elevations. Figure 10- Building Elevations Open Space: The proposed design includes maintaining the field at the rear of the property along Broadway and a relocated basketball court. In front of the building, areas of seating and picnic tables have been incorporated to create outdoor gathering spaces. Parking and Queuing: The proposal incorporates a new one-way pickup and drop-off loop accessed from Baseline Rd. that proceeds through the site and exits onto 20th St. The current site does not contain an on-site pickup and drop-off lane; pickup and drop-offs are currently done curbside along 20th St. and Baseline Rd. The proposed parking area includes approximately 115 parking spaces, including four electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and five accessible spaces. GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT CRS § 22-32-124(1)(a) states: “Prior to the acquisition of land or any contracting for the purchase thereof, the board of education of the school district in which the land is located shall consult with and advise in writing the planning commission, or governing body if no planning commission exists, that has jurisdiction over the territory in which the site is proposed to be located in order that the proposed site shall conform to the adopted plan of the community insofar as is feasible. In addition, the board of education shall submit a site development plan for review and comment to the planning commission or governing body prior to construction of any structure or building. . . .” In order to facilitate a review and comment as described in the state statute listed above, the guidelines for review and comment typically used for a “Concept Plan Review and Comment” in Section 9-2-13(g), B.R.C. 1981, will be used to guide the discussion. It is anticipated that issues other than those listed in this section may be identified as part of the review and comment process. The Planning Board may consider the following guidelines when providing comments: (1) Characteristics of the site and surrounding areas, including, without limitation, its location, surrounding neighborhoods, development and architecture, any known natural depressions, steep slopes and prominent views to and from the site; See description under “Background” above for characteristics of the site and surrounding area. (2) Community policy considerations including, without limitation, the review process and likely conformity of the proposed development with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) and other ordinances, goals, policies, and plans, including, without limitation, sub-community and sub-area plans; Review Processes: CRS § 22-32-124(1)(a) provides for the review and comment by the city’s planning commission (Planning Board) prior to the construction of any new structure by a school district. However, new construction, remodeling, and renovation is permitted through the state and not through the city. The proposal would require review of Technical Documents for any construction of public infrastructure or any private infrastructure affecting the public right-of-way. As noted above, building permits are reviewed by the state rather than the city. BVCP Policies: In general, the BVCP supports the proposed project. The following BVCP policies provide relevant guidance in site and building design: BVCP Policy Staff Response Policy 2.10 Preservation and Support for Residential Neighborhoods “. . . . The city will seek appropriate building scale and compatible character in new development or redevelopment, appropriately sized and sensitively designed streets and desired public facilities and mixed commercial uses. The city will also encourage neighborhood schools and safe routes to school.” The existing school facility has been a part of the neighborhood for approximately 70 years and the site’s continued use as a school is indicated on the BVCP land use map “Public” designation. 2.27 Preservation of Historic & Cultural Resources “The city and county will identify, evaluate and protect buildings, structures, objects, districts, sites and natural features of historic, architectural, archaeological or cultural significance with input from the community. The city and county will seek protection of significant historic and cultural resources through local designation when a proposal by the private sector is subject to discretionary development review.” The building was designed by prominent Boulder architect James M. Hunter with a later addition by Hobart Wagener between 1955-1964. Staff strongly recommends the buildings be documented prior to its deconstruction and to incorporate historic photographs and social history into an interactive exhibit as part of the new school. Policy 2.36 Physical Design for People “The city and county will take all reasonable steps to ensure that public and private development and redevelopment be designed in a manner that is sensitive to social, health and psychological needs. Broadly defined, this will include factors such as accessibility to those with limited mobility; provision of coordinated facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists and bus-riders; provision of functional landscaping and open space; and the appropriate scale and massing of buildings related to neighborhood context.” The redevelopment of the site presents the opportunity for consideration of physical design for people. 2.37 Environmentally Sensitive Urban Design “. . . strive to ensure that buildings, streets, utilities and other infrastructure are located and designed to protect natural systems, minimize energy use, reduce urban heat island effects and air and water pollution and support clean energy generation.” Staff strongly recommends that the building and site provide an environmentally sensitive and energy efficient design. 2.38 Importance of Urban Canopy, Street Trees & Streetscapes “. . . encourage the planting and maintenance of attractive, healthy street trees and streetscapes, which act as the primary connection between the private and public realm and provide aesthetics, comfort, cleaner air and other environmental benefits for the public realm.” The proposal presents the opportunity to incorporate street and site trees to promote a high quality public realm and site design. 2.39 Outdoor Lighting/Light Pollution “. . . encourage the efficient use of outdoor lighting to reduce light pollution and conserve energy while providing for public safety. The city will seek to provide a nighttime environment that includes the ability to view the stars against a dark sky so that people can see the Milky Way Galaxy from residential and other appropriate viewing areas. Measures such as using more energy-efficient lights, ensuring that the level of outdoor lighting is appropriate to the application, minimizing glare and using shielding techniques to direct light downward will be required.” The proposal presents the opportunity to provide dark-sky compliant lighting. 4.08 Energy-Efficient Building Design “. . . improve the energy- and resource-efficiency of new and existing buildings. The city and county will consider the energy consumption associated with the building process (i.e., from the raw materials through construction), improve regulations ensuring energy and resource efficiency in new construction, remodels and renovation projects and will establish energy efficiency requirements for existing buildings. . .” Staff strongly recommends that the building and site provide an environmentally sensitive and energy efficient design. 4.09 Building Construction Waste Minimization “. . . encourage renovation of existing buildings over demolition. . . adopt policies and programs that promote the reuse of materials salvaged after deconstruction as a resource.” The proposal presents the opportunity to promote the reuse of deconstructed materials. 6.17 Complete Missing Links “ . . . complete missing links in trails, paths and sidewalks, including connections to all transit stops. The city and county will work to complete missing links throughout the transportation grid through the use of connection plans and at the time of parcel redevelopment, as appropriate. . .” The proposal presents the opportunity to evaluate if the multi-use path linkage shown on the Transportation Master Plan at the north end of the site could be incorporated into the design. 8.11 Planning for School Sites & Facilities “The city and county will assist the Boulder Valley School District in its planning efforts to assure that the number, size and location of school lands and facilities is adequate to serve the population for the near future. The city and county will consider current and projected school enrollment and available school capacities when approving the type, scale and timing of residential development. The city and county will work with the school district to consider transportation impacts when planning for school sites and facilities.” The proposal presents the opportunity for transportation impacts to be considered. 8.12 Accessibility to Schools “The city and county will work with the Boulder Valley School District to develop safe and convenient pedestrian, bicycle and transit access for students to existing and new schools. New school facilities will be located so that school-age children have the opportunity to arrive safely on their own.” The proposal presents the opportunity for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit accessibility to be enhanced. (3) Applicable criteria, review procedures, and submission requirements for a site review; BVCP Policy 2.41 “Enhanced Design for All Projects” encourages quality design for all projects. Relevant elements of this policy include: “b. The context. Projects should become a coherent part of the neighborhood in which they are placed. . .” The redevelopment of the site presents the opportunity for the design to respond to the neighborhood context. “c. Relationship to the public realm. Projects should relate positively to public streets, plazas, sidewalks, paths and natural features. Buildings and landscaped areas—not parking lots— should present a well-designed face to the public realm, should not block access to sunlight and should be sensitive to important public view corridors. . .” The redevelopment of the site presents the opportunity for enhancement of existing public sidewalks or inclusion of planned paths, consideration of views, and for the placement and design of structures, parking, and landscaping to create a positive relationship to the public realm. “j. Buildings. Buildings should be designed with a cohesive design that enhances the streetscape and is comfortable to the pedestrian. Buildings should demonstrate approachability and a relationship to the street, with inviting entries that are visible from public rights of way, multiple entrances and four-sided design. Foster appeal of buildings through attractive, well-designed architecture made of high-quality, long-lasting materials and innovative approaches to design.” The construction of a new building presents the opportunity for selection of building materials as part of a cohesive design, compatible with its surroundings. Generally the use of long-lasting, authentic and human scale materials is recommended. (4) Permits that may need to be obtained and processes that may need to be completed prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to site review approval; Technical Document Review. A Technical Document Review is required for any construction of public infrastructure or any private infrastructure affecting the public right-of-way. Building Permit. A building permit for the new structure would be reviewed by the State of Colorado for a public school building. (5) Opportunities and constraints in relation to the transportation system, including, without limitation, access, linkage, signalization, signage, and circulation, existing transportation system capacity problems serving the requirements of the transportation master plan, possible trail links, and the possible need for a traffic or transportation study; Vehicular Access: During the Technical Document Review, city staff will review the site development plan to ensure that the proposal will not significantly impact existing traffic conditions along Baseline Rd. where the proposal involves eastbound traffic on Baseline Rd. turning left to enter the site. During the Technical Document Review, city staff will review the proposed site access(es) for conformance with Section 9-9-5 B.R.C. 1981 and DCS Section 2.04. The proposed plan shows the only way to exit the school parking lot is by turning right (northbound) onto 20th St. To reduce traffic within the residential areas to the west of the property, city staff suggest allowing vehicles to turn left (southbound) onto 20th St. to provide a shorter route to Baseline Rd. and Broadway. The existing New Vista School westbound pullout bus stop on Baseline Rd. does not meet current RTD standards adopted by the city. The city recommends that this bus stop updated to the current RTD detail SD-C104 included in this project. Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: The City’s Transportation Master Plan includes a 12’-wide multi-use path to be that connects 20th St., at the Cascade Avenue intersection, to the Broadway multi-use path at the east end of the property. The multi-use path follows the northern property line of this parcel and will improve pedestrian circulation in the area. The city recommends that this improvement be included in this project. The city recommends that the existing sidewalks along 20th St. and Baseline Rd. be updated by to meet current local residential and collector residential standards listed in Table 2-12 of the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards (DCS), respectively. Specifically, this would create a 4’-wide detached sidewalk with an 8’-wide landscape strip along 20th Street and a 5’-wide detached sidewalk with an 8’-wide landscape strip along Baseline Rd., wherever applicable. (6) Environmental opportunities and constraints including, without limitation, the identification of wetlands, important view corridors, floodplains and other natural hazards, wildlife corridors, endangered and protected species and habitats, the need for further biological inventories of the site and at what point in the process the information will be necessary; See description under “Background” above for environmental opportunities and constraints. (7) Appropriate ranges of land uses; The majority of the site is designated “PUB” Public on the BVCP Land Use Map in recognition of its ongoing use as a public school; thus the continued use as a school is an expected and appropriate use. (8) The appropriateness of or necessity for housing. No housing is proposed as part of the project to replace the existing school building with a new building. CONCLUSION No action is required by Planning Board. State law gives the planning board or city council authority to review the plans for the construction of a school district facility and provide comments to the board of education of the school district. If the board wishes to make comments, staff recommends a motion be made directing staff to draft a letter to the Boulder Valley School District Board of Directors, incorporating the city’s comments and requesting any proposed changes, which letter may be signed by the city manager. If the city is not satisfied with the response to such comments and requests, the city could request a hearing before the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education.

The existing New Vista building was originally constructed as an elementary school and is no longer able to adequately serve the needs of a High School population. Due to condition issues with the existing building renovations to make it more suitable for a High School population are not viable. The replacement building will be located on the site adjacent to the existing building. Following completion of the new building the existing building will be demolished. The final scope of work includes a new approximately 74,000 sf two story high school, a new sports field, new enlarged parking lot, and improved access.

I.REVIEW FINDINGS The city appreciates the opportunity to review the project plans. The review and comment process provided by CRS § 22-32-124 is an opportunity for review and comment on the general aspects of the proposal. The process does not result in either an approval or denial, but allows for identification of items where city policies may provide guidance and where city requirements are indicated in future review processes. Staff reviewer contact information is also provided for any questions about the comments. These comments and any community correspondence received will be forwarded to the Planning Board for review. The Planning Board hearing for the Review and Comment has been tentatively scheduled for the May 16, 2023 Planning Board meeting which begins at 6 PM online. Staff will forward a final staff memorandum upon completion. III.INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS 1.Area Characteristics and Zoning History, Shannon Moeller, 303 -441-3216 The subject property is an approximately 12.5-acre site located northwest of the intersection of Broadway and Baseline Rd. The property contains the existing New Vista High School facility including existing buildings, parking, and recreational fields. The property is adjacent to 20th Street, Baseline Rd., and Broadway. One poin t of vehicular access to the site exists from Baseline Rd. into the existing parking area located south of the building. The primary building entrance currently fronts onto 20th Street. Sports fields and courts including baseball, football/soccer, tenn is, and basketball exist on the property. The high point of the site is located at the southwest corner with the site sloping towards Broadway with elevation changes of over 30 feet. The site has been developed for approximately 70 years as a school use. There are some mature trees at the perimeter of the site, near the existing school building and street trees in the public right -of-way. Views of the Flatirons are visible across the site. The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of uses, including: •To the east across Broadway, University of Colorado Boulder main campus; •To the southeast, two condo and apartment buildings and Boulder Fire Station #2; •To the south across Baseline Rd., primarily single-family detached homes as well as some duplexes and Attachment C - DRC Comments apartment buildings; • To the west across 20th St., apartment buildings and duplexes; • To the north, apartment and condo buildings. The underlying Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) land use designation is primarily Public (PUB), which reflects the current high school use. Public land use designations encompass a wide range of uses that provide a community service including public schools. There is a small area at the north extents of the property with an underlying land use de signation of High Density Residential (HR). This area has been occupied by the existing baseball diamond for multiple decades, thus it is not clear why this remnant land use designation exists in this area of the property. The property is in the RH-5, Residential – High 5 zoning district, which is described in 9-5-2(c)(1)(F), B.R.C. 1981 as “High density residential areas primarily used for a variety of types of attached residential units, including without limitation, apartment buildings, and where complementary uses may be allowed.” Public elementary, middle, or high schools are allowed in the zoning district by-right. The subject property is not located within the boundaries of any adopted area plans. It is located in the Central Boulder - University Hill Subcommunity. 2. Historic Preservation, Marcy Gerwing, 303-441-3207 Baseline Junior High School opened in 1954 to serve the needs of the growing community that experienced a large period of growth in the Post-World War II era. The building was designed prominent Boulder architect James M. Hunter with a later addition by Hobart Wagener between 1955-1964. The building continued to be added onto between 1971 and 2004. Staff strongly recommends the buildings be documented prior to its deconstruction and to incorporate historic photographs and social history into an interactive exhibit as part of the new school. Recommended documen tation includes measured drawings of the exterior of the building, archival photographs, and preparation of an Architectural Inventory to document the building’s architectural description and social history. Consultants who have prepared similar documentation in the past include Carol Taylor, Carl McWilliams (Cultural Research Historians) and Ron Sladek (Tatanka Associates Inc). 3. Drainage, Scott Kuhna, 303-441-4071 A. Regarding the city’s new storm water regulations and the 2019 adoption of the updated City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards (DCS), this development is considered an “applicable development”. All requirements of Chapter 7 of the DCS apply including (but not limited to) LID Techniques, Quality D esign Standard Compliance, Selection and Design of SCM’s, Preliminary Infiltration Feasibility Screening, Treatment Approach Selection Criteria, Soil and Infiltration Test, etc. B. A construction storm water discharge permit is required from the Stat e of Colorado for projects disturbing one (1) acre of land or more. The applicant is advised to contact the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 4. Groundwater, Scott Kuhna, 303-441-4071 While the proposed development site is not known to have high groundwater levels, grou ndwater is a concern in many areas of the city of Boulder. Please be advised that if it is encountered at this site, an underdrain/dewatering system may be required to reduce groundwater infiltration, and information pertaining to the quality of the groundwater encountered on the site will be required to determine if treatment is necessary prior to discharge from the site. City and/or State permits are required for the discharge of any groundwater to the public storm sewer system. 5. Irrigation Ditches, Scott Kuhna, 303-441-4071 The applicant is responsible for obtaining written approvals and/or agreements for any relocations or modifications to irrigation ditches or laterals or easements from the impacted ditch company. This includes the crossing of any irrigation ditch or lateral for vehicular or utility purposes, limiting access to the ditch or lateral or easement, changes in scope of maintenance or landscaping within the ditch or lateral easement, and the release of stormwater runoff into any ditch or lateral. The applicant is advised that revisions to any approved city plans necessary to address ditch company requirements may require reapplication for city review and approval at the applicant's expense. 6. Landscaping; Chris Ricciardiello; ricciardielloc@bouldercolorado.gov; (303) 441 -3138; LANDSCAPE PLAN: Provide a landscape plan and irrigation plan consistent with 9 -9-12(d), B.R.C. 1981 indicating all proposed Attachment C - DRC Comments landscape improvements. Provide drip irrigation to all landscape within right -of-way plantings in accordance with the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards. 7. Landscaping; Chris Ricciardiello; ricciardielloc@bouldercolorado.gov; (303) 441-3138; Right of Way Tree Protection: The subject development property has existing public right of way street trees along the Broadway, Baseline Rd, and 20th St frontages. Add Drawing No 3.12 - Protected Root Zone and Drip Line - from the Boulder Design and Construction Standards to the Site Plan and graphically show tree protection around all public street trees. Follow Chapter 3.05 of the Boulder Design and Construction Standards - Tree Protection for Construction Sites - for standard tree protection procedures. An applicant for construction approval shall provide maintenance and care for existing trees required to be protected on site and in the public right-of-way adjacent to any project or construction site during construction activities and the public improvement warranty period to ensure that existing trees survive and are not damaged. Protection fen cing must be in place prior to the commencement of construction activities or any site disturbance (stockpiling, vehicle tracking, demolition, utility work, etc.). 8. Landscaping; Chris Ricciardiello; ricciardielloc@bouldercolorado.gov; (303) 441 -3138; Street Tree Diversity: To establish and maintain a healthy and diverse street tree canopy, the applicant is required to adhere to the Boulder Design and Construction Standards Table 3 -2: Limitations on Individual Tree Species. Specify specific tree species selection using this table in association with the current City of Boulder Approved Tree List. 9. Landscaping; Chris Ricciardiello; ricciardielloc@bouldercolorado.gov; (303) 441 -3138; Street Trees: It is standard design practice for new development to provide new street trees along all public rights -of-way: Broadway, Baseline Rd, and 20th St. Each tree shall be a large maturing deciduous tree (over 45' mature height) sized at a minimum 2" caliper, with 30’ – 40’ spacing from the adjacent street trees, within 4’-5’ of the existing attached sidewalk, and a minimum of 10' from underground utilities. Examples of acceptable species for this use are State Street Maple, (Fall Fiesta, Caddo, Legacy) Sugar Maple, Common Horsechestnut, Pecan, Shagbark Hickory, Western Catalpa, Common Hackberry, Sugar Hackberry, Turkish Filbert, Kentucky Coffeetree, Sweetgum, White Oak, Swamp White Oak, Shingle Oak, Bur Oak, Chinkapin Oak, Chestn ut Oak, Japanese Pagodatree, (Accolade or David) Elm. Include a landscape plan specifying street trees accordingly. 10. Landscaping; Chris Ricciardiello; ricciardielloc@bouldercolorado.gov; (303) 441 -3138; Tree Inventory: Provide a tree inventory that includes the location, size, species and general health of all trees with a diameter of six inches and over measured fifty-four inches above the ground on the property or in the landscape setback of any property adjacent to the development. The inventory shall indicate which trees will be adversely affected and what if any steps will be taken to mitigate the impact on the trees. The tree inventory shall be prepared by a certified arborist that has a valid contractor license pursuant to Chapter 4-28, "Tree Contractor License," B.R.C. 11. Review Process, Shannon Moeller, 303-441-3216 CRS § 22-32-124(1)(a) provides for the review and comment by the city’s planning commission (Planning Board) prior to the construction of any new structure by a school district. However, BVSD is a sovereign entity under state law. This means that new construction, remodeling, and renovation is permitted through the state and not through the city. CRS § 22-32-124(1)(a) states: “Prior to the acquisition of land or any contracting for the purchase thereof, the board of education of the school district in which the land is located shall consult with and advise in writing the planning commission, or governing body if no planning commission exists, that has jurisdiction over the territory in which the site is proposed to be located in order that the proposed site shall conform to the adopted plan of the community insofar as is feasible. In addition, the board of education shall submit a site development plan for review and comment to the planning commission or governing body prior to construction of any structure or building. . . .” In order to facilitate a review and comment as described in the state statute listed above, the guidelines for review and comment in section 9-2-13(g), B.R.C. 1981, will be used to guide the discussion at the Planning Board hearing. Staff will forward a final staff memorandum upon completion. Generally, 9-2-13(g), B.R.C. 1981 calls for the identification of relevant review processes and evaluation of the likely conformity of the proposal to BVCP policies. In general, the BVCP supports the proposed project. The following BVCP policies provide relevant guidance in site and building design: • 2.10 Preservation and Support for Residential Neighborhoods • 2.27 Preservation of Historic & Cultural Resources • 2.36 Physical Design for People • 2.37 Environmentally Sensitive Urban Design Attachment C - DRC Comments • 2.38 Importance of Urban Canopy, Street Trees & Streetscapes • 2.39 Outdoor Lighting/Light Pollution • 4.08 Energy-Efficient Building Design • 4.09 Building Construction Waste Minimization • 6.17 Complete Missing Links • 8.11 Planning for School Sites & Facilities • 8.12 Accessibility to Schools 12. Flood Control, Christin Shepherd, 303-441-3425 The structure is classified as a critical facility under the city of Boulder's Critical Facility Ordinance. However, the proposed structure is not located in the 500-year floodplain and is, therefore, not subject to floodplain requirements. Staff suggests the applicant include this information in subsequent submittals as part of the written statement, and clearly identify the 500-year floodplain on all site plans, to avoid confusion and to streamline floodplain review and approval. 13. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov City staff is concerned that during peak -hour or pick-up/drop-off times, eastbound Baseline Road traffic may back-up due to vehicles attempting to turn left and cross westbound traffic to enter the site. Provide a traffic analysis with your Tec Docs to determine that this will not significantly impact existing traffic conditions along Baseline Road. 14. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov City staff will review that site access(es) meet requirements listed out in Section 9-9-5 B.R.C. 1981 and DCS Section 2.04. Justification for having two access points to the site will be required in the form of a written statement that is backed with information listed in Section 9-9-5(c)(1), B.R.C. 1981. This written statement can be included with the TecDoc construction documents that are required for work in the public right -of-way and work on city infrastructure. 15. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov Due to the proposed site sidewalk alignments, city staff have recognized that potential unwanted shortcuts can be formed in the grass from students leaving the school to head west on Baseline Road. 16. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov The City’s Transportation Master Plan includes a 12’-wide multi-use path to be that connects 20th Street, at the Cascade Avenue intersection, to the Broadway multi-use path at the east end of the property. The multi-use path follows the northern property line of this parcel and will improve pedestrian circulation in the area. The city would prefer to see this improvement included in this project. 17. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov The existing New Vista School WB pullout bus stop on Baseline Road does not meet current RTD standards adopted by the city. The City would prefer to see this bus stop updated to the current RTD detail SD -C104 included in this project. 18. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov The existing sidewalks along 20th Street and Baseline Road should be updated by this project to meet current local residential and collector residential standards listed in Table 2-12 of the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards (DCS), respectively. Specifically, this would create a 4’-wide detached sidewalk with an 8’-wide landscape strip along 20th Street and a 5’-wide detached sidewalk with an 8’-wide landscape strip along Baseline Road, wherever applicable. 19. Transportation, Tom Pankau, 303-441-4369, pankaut@bouldercolorado.gov The proposed concept plan shows the only way to exit the school parking lot is by turning r ight (northbound) onto 20th Street. To reduce traffic within the residential areas to the west of the property, city staff suggest allowing vehicles to turn left (southbound) onto 20th Street to provide a shorter route to Baseline Road and Broadway. 20. Utilities, Scott Kuhna, 303-441-4071 A. The applicant is notified that, though the city allows Xcel and Qwest to install their utilities in the public right-of-way, they generally require them to be located in easements on private property. B. The applicant is advised that any proposed street trees along the property frontage may conflict with existing or proposed utilities, including without limitation: water, wastewater, storm drainage, flood control, gas , electric, Attachment C - DRC Comments telecommunications, drainageways, and irrigation ditches, within and adjacent to the development site. It is the applicant’s responsibility to resolve such conflicts with appropriate methods conforming to the Boulder Revised Code 1981, the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards, and any private/franchise utility specifications. C. The landscape irrigation system requires a separate water service and meter. A separate water Plant Investment Fee must be paid at time of building permit. Service, meter and tap sizes will be required at time of building permit submittal. D. On-site and off-site water main and wastewater main construction per the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards (DCS) as necessary to serve the development, as well as perpetuate the overall system, will be required. All proposed public utilities for this project shall be designed in accordance with the DCS. E. A separate Technical Document Review (TEC Doc) application is required for easement dedications necessary for proposed water main, services, meters, etc. The easement dedications must be approved and completed prior to approval of the final utility construction plans. F. The separate Technical Document Review (TEC Doc) easement application shall also include required easement dedications necessary for any public storm sewer mains, inlets, etc. running through the site. The easement dedications must be approved and completed prior to approval of the final utility construction plans. G. Fire hydrants will need to be installed to meet the coverage requirements outlined in Section 5.10 of the City of Boulder Design and Construction Standards. Per the standards, no portion of any building shall be over 175 feet of fire access distance from the nearest hydrant. Fire access distance is measured along public or private (fire accessible) roadways or fire lanes, as would be traveled by motorized fire equipment. All fire hydrants and public water lines will need to be located within public utility easements. H. The applicant should note that trees are not permitted within ten feet of underground utility lines. At Site Review, the applicant will need to demonstrate that their plans can meet both landscaping and utility requirements. 21. Next Steps, Shannon Moeller, 303-441-3216 The review and comment provided by CRS § 22-32-124 results in neither an approval nor a denial, but rather is an opportunity for the Planning Board and community members to comment on the general aspects of the proposal. These comments and any community correspondence received will be forwarded to the Planning Board fo r review. The Planning Board hearing for the Review and Comment has been tentatively scheduled for the May 16, 2023 Planning Board meeting which begins at 6 PM online. Staff will forward a final staff memorandum upon completion. Attachment C - DRC Comments Historic Preservation Comments Baseline Junior High School was designed by prominent Boulder architect James M. Hunter with a later addition by Hobart Wagener. The school opened in 1954 to serve the growing community, spurred by Post-World War II growth. The original building included the north-south bar, a flared addition at the southwest corner, and a prominent vaulted gymnasium at the east elevation (See Figure 1). Between 1955 and 1964, the north wing was constructed and was design by Hobart Wagener (Figure 2). Between 1971 and 1983, three additions were built: a new entrance addition was constructed on the east elevation and additions at the east sides of the gymnasium and north wing. Between 1999 and 2004, an addition was built on the south side of the flared portion of the building at the southwest corner. It appears the footprint of the building has remained largely the same since 2004. JAMES HUNTER1 James Hunter was born in Omaha, Nebraska on April 19, 1908 to Edgar W. and Ida J. Hunter. He studied architectural engineering at Iowa State University from 1927 to 1931 before transferring to the University of Illinois, where he received his degree in 1936. Hunter began his career as a draftsman with Ernest Stouffer, Supervising Architect at the University of Illinois. He came to Boulder to work as a head draftsman in the office of Glen Huntington, as well as head draftsman for the University of Colorado. In 1940 he formed a partnership with Harold Jones, but left to serve in World War II. After the war, Hunter returned to Boulder and started his own firm, James M. Hunter & Associates. Although his work extended through the state, as well as in other states, the bulk of his practice was in Boulder where he could be close enough for full supervision. He felt “that an architect could function in a small community and could be an influencing and bettering force in the esthetic environment of that community.” Some of his key designs in Boulder include the Boulder Masonic Lodge, Boulder Municipal Building, the Nelson House, the original Boulder Public Library, and the Boulder Medical Center. During his illustrious career, Hunter served as planner and architect for Colorado State University and Fort Lewis College in Durango. He also held similar posts with Regis College, Denver, and Tarkio College, Missouri. In addition, he was president of the Colorado board of architect examiners, president of the Colorado chapter of the AIA, national second vice president of the AIA, and was made a Fellow of the AIA in 1957.2 1 Landmarks Board Memorandum, 2205 Broadway.

Hunter Attachment D - Historic Preservation Comments Hunter retired from active practice in 1973 and died at the age of 75 in 1983 at his home in Boulder. His work was recognized in architectural professional magazines during his time and today James M. Hunter is considered to be one of Boulder’s most influential architects. HOBART WAGENER3 Hobart Wagener was born in South Dakota in 1921 and graduated from the University of Michigan, School of Architecture in 1944. After serving in World War II in the Okinawa campaign, Wagener began his architectural practice in New York City with Eggers and Higgens. In 1950, Wagener and his family moved to Boulder where he first worked with local architect James Hunter prior to launching his own firm in 1953. In 1985 Wagener and his family retired to Coronado, California where he died in 2005.4 Wagener had a prolific career, designing over 200 public and private buildings in the Boulder area. Some of his most notable commissions include The Greenshield Insurance Building and Labrot House (both individual local landmarks), St. John’s Episcopal Chapel, the First Methodist Sanctuary, Fairview High School, and the First National Bank. He also designed the University of Colorado Kittredge Dormitories and Williams Village and collaborated in the design of the University’s Engineering Sciences Complex. Ten of Wagener’s designs received either national or regional awards from the American Institute of Architects and in 1985 the AIA recognized him as the architect of the year. Documentation The City strongly encourages the Boulder Valley School District to document the building prior to its deconstruction and to incorporate historic photographs and social history into an interactive exhibit as part of the new school. Recommended documentation includes measured drawings of the exterior of the building, archival photographs, and preparation of an Architectural Inventory to document the building’s architectural description and social history. Consultants who have prepared similar documentation in the past include Carol Taylor, Carl McWilliams (Cultural Research Historians) and Ron Sladek (Tatanka Associates Inc).
