He brought up the aerospace, bioscience, clean tech, IT, natural-product, outdoor recreation, and research sectors, and how aerospace is the top growing sector right now. Hovancak discussed the new consortium, Elevate Quantum, that has awarded a large grant to the City of Boulder, and how this group is contending against the aerospace sector for largest economic growth recently. He explained that the group supports the growth of Quantum technologies in Colorado and gives the City the opportunity to be awarded up to $10 billion more in grants over the next 10 years. He added that this grant has already intrigued several companies, two of which have confirmed they want to move to Boulder. Hovancak brought up that unemployment is up in Boulder compared to this time last year, but explained that the increase is lower than Denver’s, Colorado’s, and the nation’s unemployment rate. Jobs increased at a higher rate than the national growth rate. The Chamber has identified the office vacancies in the downtown area as one of their top priorities and is working with Bettina to bring more companies into the office spaces. Hovancak discussed the fact that the entrepreneurial environment looks different from previous years, but is growing with more venture capitalists, diversity in start-ups, marketing in aerospace and life sciences, AI technology, and Quantum technologies. He presented the feedback that the Chamber has received from local entrepreneurs, including that they feel there are not enough structured events to bring entrepreneurs together. Hovancak shared that the Boulder Chamber has an economic council that represents 16 industries with 57 major executives on the council. Each month, the council goes to a location for one of the industries represented and representatives share what they are doing in their industry. The most recent company presentation was at Celestial Seasonings, and before that, a local aerospace company that has contributed to welding in space and was included on Space X’s rocket launch in May. Hovancak presented the sector partnerships, which the Chamber uses to bring companies from different sectors, including manufacturing, F&B, professional services, technology, and health care together quarterly to discuss manufacturing. He discussed the workforce development arm of the Chamber, and how its focus is on changing lives through adult internships. He gave the statistics and demographics of the program. He presented the upcoming Annual Impact Summit on October 8. The events of the summit include networking, opening remarks from the new CU Chancellor, discussions about impacts on economic vitality, Boulder’s contributions to Colorado’s ecosystem, among other events. He shared the CU Leeds Business Competence Index and explained that it is a quarterly index that looks at feedback from hundreds of local business leaders about how Boulder is doing in supporting businesses. For quarter two of 2024, the feedback has been positive. Nathan asked what the timetable for the Sundance Film Festival is, and Hovancak answered that they are anticipating a decision in January or February of 2026, and if it is awarded to Boulder, then it will occur in 2027. Poe asked if Boulder allows Air BNBs, and Jones answered that the City does allow them, but is restrictive. Poe shared that he is concerned that the attendees of the Sundance Film Festival will prefer renting homes to staying in hotels, and Hovancak added that there will be so many attendees that they will likely spill into the surrounding cities, like Broomfield or Denver. Landrith stated that Santa Fe, New Mexico is also competing for the Sundance Film Festival, and Poe made a joke that they are not competition. 5 Agenda Item 8: Matters from Staff A. Safety Update Stephen Redfearn, Interim Police Chief updated the commission about crime in the city. He explained that the types of crimes that are difficult to predict, such as violent crimes, are rising and the department is working to mitigate these crimes. He feels that what the department can control they are doing well controlling, but they are struggling to be everywhere and support those who are in crisis. Redfearn added that he is working with the DA to keep the community safe. He believes that the downtown area is doing well, and he has received positive feedback about the area. Poe stated that he has seen the area looking better, but it does feel more dangerous because of the randomness of the attack. Redfearn stated that the majority of the violent crimes have happened between people who know each other, and random violent crime among strangers is not on the rise. Poe asked about staffing, and Redfearn stated that they recently hired 12 new recruits and are over 180 officers right now, with plans to ask City Council for more funding in the future and a new recruiting plan to continue to recruit diverse staff and get to full staffing. Dahl asked if the recent violent crime offenders were known to the department, and Redfearn answered that the offenders were very well-known to the department. Dahl followed up by asking if there are reports on the offenders that can be accessed, and Redfearn answered that there is no profile on each person, but the offences are public record and can be looked up. He stated that 80% of crimes are committed by 20% of the population. Poe asked if the Day Center has had an impact, and Redfearn answered that it is too soon to tell. Kristine Edwards, CV Operations and Maintenance Senior Manager stated that the Community Vitality building had suffered from vandalism and the investigator that handled the case did a great job. Nathan added that there had been crime in his neighborhood recently. B. DRAFT 2025 Budget Recommendations Elliott LaBonte, CV Business Services Senior Manager updated the commissioners about the 2025 proposed budget, including: • A history on the creation of the CAGID district in 1970, and its work to provide parking and related improvements in the district. • The key accomplishments of stormwater repairs, gateless conversions at garages, re-opening of the west end of the mall, expanding Boulder Social Streets, the Eastend River Walk crosswalk artwork, and launching Commutifi. • The work in progress of expanding EcoPasses to part-time employees, installing art in Spruce garage, striping on-street parking, recommending special events programming, updates to the Cultural Plan, formalizing the Out-Door Dining Program, and complying with the state mandated digital accessibility legislation. • The budget process and where the city is in that process. He explained that the City is currently transitioning from the Citywide Budget Development step to the Council Review & Adoption step. City Council will review the proposed budgets in September during a study session. • The Community Vitality Funds, including district, city, and other funds. He explained the acronyms and each fund’s revenue sources and expenses. • The 2025 budget highlights of focusing on realigning the under-utilized budget to the programs that are in need, the new Arts, Culture, and Heritage sales tax, the heavy expansion of Capital programs, enhancements that are focused on business and employee support, and upcoming headwinds including Initiative #50 on the 2024 ballot. 6 • The summary of the budget changes, which includes realignments regarding EcoPass savings going to support maintenance costs and the General Fund taking over credit card processing fees from CAGID, enhancements to the Ambassador Program, the Outdoor Dining Program, and the Arts + Culture Program, expanding EcoPass eligibility to part-time employees, and Capital highlights such as streetscape renovations, garage projects, security enhancements in the garages, and 1% for Public Art being allocated to Capital Projects. • The proposed budget, showing the percent change in different categories. Dahl asked why the chance to Capital had an asterisk next to the 2025 proposed number, and LaBonte answered that it included funds from a savings account. Dahl asked for clarification on how it could be a 72% increase, and LaBonte clarified the math, and confirmed that the percent change was 72% and it is a big increase. LaBonte added that the percent change in personnel is due to two new positions that Community Vitality will be adding to the team. • The 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program, including the proposed budgets for each year through 2030 and the different categories that need to be funded. The commission and Jones discussed the upcoming projects, including revitalizations for the 50th anniversary and the undergrounding of powerlines. Dahl added that visitors are having trouble finding trash cans, and Jones answered that the new trash cans were installed in an effort to keep bears out of the area. Jones and LaBonte added details about future operating requests and an upcoming project to create a program to bring together businesses. Poe asked if the process for changing gas appliances to electric appliances in restaurants is a City Capital project, and LaBonte answered that it an Xcel Energy project. • The Proposed CAGID budget including the large increase in the investment earnings, the transfers in from the General Fund, the parking revenue, and that they are anticipating an increase in all revenues. The expenses also increased due to reallocations by Central Finance. • Nathan asked what the percent difference of the 2023 budget was to the 2024 budget, and LaBonte answered that it was a lower increase due to the less aggressive Capital Projects in 2024. • Poe asked why the actuals for 2023 were $1 million less than the proposed budget, and LaBonte answered that it was due to the EcoPass program costing less than expected. Lane Landrith, CV District Vitality Specialist updated the commission that RTD had made a mistake in rider count and overcharged the City for the EcoPass program in 2023 and will be refunding the City for the amount overcharged. Poe made a motion to approve the proposed budget, Nathan seconded, there was no additional discussion and the motion passed unanimously. C. District Outlook Project Update Matt Chasansky, CV Senior Manager of Cultural Vibrancy & District Vitality reminded the commission about the project and its goals. He discussed the upcoming City Council meeting on September 19 and the goal of having the project complete by then. Poe asked for a brief reminder about the project, and Cris Jones clarified that there will be in depth discussion at the next DMC meeting. D. Capital Improvement Projects in Downtown Garages 7 Kristine Edwards, CV Operations and Maintenance Senior Manager updated the commissioners on the CAGID Assets, including the different parking lots in the district. She discussed the maintenance and updates to civic, library, diagonal, and 11th & Spruce lots and the 1100 Spruce Garage. Poe asked if the Spruce Garage would have artwork, and Chasansky answered that it is on track for October. Edwards discussed tree planting and maintenance at the garage. Edwards presented the work completed and the work in progress at the 1500 Pearl Garage after the freeze event. Poe asked if the tenants received a rent reduction, and Chasansky confirmed that two tenants had received rent reductions. Jones added that the insurance for the building covered the rent reduction for the tenants. Jones explained the caveat that some of the garages seem empty, but they were built on projected parking need, not current need. Edwards presented information about the RTD Garage and the completed and in progress work occurring there, including ramp improvements, concrete repairs, and traffic coating. Poe asked who owns the garage, and Jones clarified that RTD owns the first floor and the City of Boulder owns every floor above the first. She discussed issues around landscaping and discovering the City is responsible for maintaining the landscaping, not RTD. Edwards discussed the Randolph Garage and the work that has happened there. Edwards presented the concrete repairs at the St. Julien Garage. Dahl asked if the St. Julien pays for repairs, and Edwards explained that they pay for the area under the valet and the City pays for the areas not under the valet. Edwards presented the next steps of continuing with Capital Improvements Projects, preparing for the CMGC strategy, and evaluating facility utilization to see how the City can better utilize the spaces. Kalvin brought up the fact that the electric sign at the Spruce Garage is out, and Edwards explained that her team is working with the contractor to get it fixed. Kalvin also brought up the broken glass in the elevator, and Edwards confirmed that it will fall under the maintenance budget. Jones added that there is a lot of work to do in the area and it may not be repaired yet due to the priority of the to-do list. Poe thanked Edwards for her and her team’s work. LaBonte added that one of the maintenance positions was converted from an entry level position to a lead position, and that added to the increase in the personnel budget. E.

Background The proposal is located within the 9th & Canyon Urban Renewal Plan, just east of and on the same property as the St. Julien Hotel at 900 Walnut (Figure 1). The 9th and Canyon Urban Renewal Plan (“URP”) was first adopted in 1988 to guide redevelopment of the site, which at the time largely consisted of surface parking. The URP called for the development on the downtown site at the northeast corner of Canyon Boulevard and 9th Street to include a hotel, underground parking, open space, and a percentage of square footage for a "civic" use. The URP was updated in 1995 and further specified that “civic uses (such as recreation center, museum, cultural center, City office space, and transit facilities… ), will occupy a minimum of 20 percent of the gross floor area developed in the project area.” 41 Figure 1 – Aerial Image of Site In 2000, a Site Review application (#SI-99-12) was approved for a 200-room hotel (the St. Julien Hotel) and a public/private parking garage. These improvements were considered “Phase I.” Incorporated into the project design was a pad east of the hotel constructed with a concrete structural deck capable of supporting a building (“the civic use pad”) which was considered “Phase II” (Figure 2). Figure 2 – Approved Site Review #SI-99-12 Site Plan Phase II Pedestrian Easement 42 The St. Julien Hotel and the Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID) underground public parking garage were completed in the early 2000s. St. Julien Partners and CAGID created a a Condominium regime and entered into agreements regarding use and maintenance of the property. The Urban Renewal Plan and agreements originally anticipated an opportunity for a civic use on the pad in the southeastern corner of the Hotel site. The civic use pad is owned by St. Julien Partners, LLC, and the agreements anticipated that the pad would be leased to civic uses for a 35-year term. The right to lease the civic use pad was agreed to expire on January 1, 2020. After such time, without further agreements (described below), the civic use requirement would end, and St. Julien Partners would have been free to use the area within existing zoning regulations. Over the years there had been numerous efforts to attempt to get a civic user to take advantage of the site, but those efforts did not result in fulfilling the original vision of the urban renewal plan. In 2001, a Site Review Amendment (#LUR2001-00017) was approved for a 55-foot-tall civic use building (“Phase II”) for a children’s museum and community dance facility. Due to financial challenges, this building was not constructed (Figure 3). Figure 3 – Approved Site Review Amd. # LUR2001-00017 Site Plan and Elevation There have been additional unsuccessful attempts to identify a viable user for the civic pad. Four different task forces sought various approaches to achieve a civic use on the site. In 2009, City Manager Jane Brautigam appointed the fourth Civic Use Task Force (CUTF IV) with the charge to provide recommendations to City Council regarding the use of the site. The members of the CUTF IV included City Council members and representatives from the Boulder Arts Commission, Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau Advisory Board, Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District, Downtown Management Commission, representatives of local non-profit, financial, and community sectors, and St. Julien Partners. The task force conducted a comprehensive investigation of the challenges, options and possibilities presented by the civic use requirement. Based on the accumulation of feedback, analysis and discussion, the CUTF IV concluded that a single civic user concept was unrealistic given the size, character and financial resources of Boulder; the 20% 43 minimum required building space for a civic use entity was too much for any one user to afford and the URP would need to be modified to meet the realities and needs of a development proposal; a “civic benefit” should be considered rather than a specific building as a “civic use” to meet the needs for periodic use of many organizations to share a venue; and a public-private partnership with the St. Julien would help achieve a successful result. In 2013, a design concept was commissioned by the city with participation by St. Julien Partners. The concept included a building with a first-floor multi-use civic use space, a rooftop terrace accessible to community and civic groups, and additional hotel facilities on the upper levels connected to the existing building (Figure 4). In January 2014, the concept developed by the CUTV IV and the St. Julien Hotel was supported by City Council at a Study Session. Figure 4 – First Floor Plan and Image from 2013 Design Concept In 2015, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 7989 amending the 9th and Canyon Urban Renewal Plan in order to facilitate the implementation of civic use of the site (Attachment A) by providing greater flexibility in implementation of such use. The ordinance updated the URP to state that civic uses will occupy up to 20% of the gross floor area pursuant to a plan, agreement, or other arrangement approved by the city; and that implementation of the plan will result in a FAR (floor area ratio) that does not exceed the amount permitted by the underlying zoning (where as previously the URP had specified an FAR of 1.50). The city and St. Julien Partners also entered into a Letter of Intent specifying next steps in exploration of potential development and use concepts. On Sept. 20, 2018, a Study Session update was provided to City Council regarding the civic use pad; at this time it was noted that following additional height analysis, it was determined that the previously proposed rooftop deck was not viable. In 2019, City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a Management and Operating Agreement between the city, Central Area General Improvement District, and St. Julien Partners concerning the use of the Civic Use Pad facility. The agreement contains conceptual images and information regarding the operating characteristics of the space (Attachment A). The agreement ensured that a multi-purpose civic use space would remain part of the proposal, rather than the civic use space requirement expiring on January 1, 2020. The proposed Site Review Amendment seeks to develop the civic use pad including a multi-purpose civic use space. 44 Proposal The current proposal is a Site Review Amendment for an approximately 50,070 square-foot structure with a first-floor meeting space and associated catering/warming kitchen facilities, storage, restrooms, and connections to the below-grade parking garage via elevator and staircase; a mechanical mezzanine; and three upper levels of extended stay hotel rooms connected on the upper levels to the existing St. Julien hotel building. The first-floor plan and rendering of the proposed structure is shown below in Figure 5. Refer to Attachment B for the applicant’s architectural plan set and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. The meeting spaces will be provided for local not-for-profit organizations and civic group use with first right to reserve a space, discounted rental rates, and other terms. The St. Julien may schedule use of the space by other groups and uses ancillary to its hotel operation when there is un-booked space. Refer to Attachment B for the complete agreement between the St. Julien Partners, the city, and CAGID. Figure 5 – First Floor Plan and Rendering of Proposal Analysis As noted above, the urban renewal plan was first adopted in 1988, and amended in 1995 and later in 2015. The hotel and underground parking garage component of the Ninth & Canyon Site Review was approved by BURA in January 2000 and by the Planning Board the month thereafter (“Phase I”). Phase I of the project completed many of the major requirements of the Urban Renewal Plan: the hotel is located on Walnut Street, open space was created on Canyon, the 10th Street pedestrian corridor was established on the site which forms part of the pedestrian walkway connecting Pearl Street and the Civic Area, all the parking is underground and a pad east of the hotel was designated for a future development. Listed below are a summary of the URP guidelines and, in italics, a synopsis of the planning staff analysis. 45 SECTION III, DEVELOPMENT PLAN C. CONTEXT GUIDELINES According to the URP, the specific definition and application of Section III C and D will vary according to project specific design considerations. The guidelines are not intended as a design checklist. They are intended to suggest the type and range of options requiring serious consideration. 1.

The existing St. Julien Hotel provides for hotel and ancillary uses such as a restaurant, spa, etc. - Open Space: The existing landscaped open space at the corner of 9th & Canyon will be maintained. 46 D. SITE DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The following guidelines establish the Authority's objectives for the redevelopment of the project area. The guidelines represent a range of development options and are not intended to be a design checklist. A specific project will not necessarily be required to address or fulfill all of the guidelines. 1. Encourage the development of buildings that provide a mix of uses to provide full time activity within the project area. Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The proposed structure provides a mix of uses that promote full time activity in the project area and enhances the project area as a community focal place. The proposal includes ground floor meeting/gathering spaces for use by community not-for-profit and civic organizations with first right to reserve a space and discounted rental rates, and the upper level provides for hotel rooms. - The existing outdoor space at Ninth and Canyon will be maintained and upper-level balconies will add interest and character to the proposed structure. 2. Physical development should reinforce the unique attributes of the site and its relationship to downtown Boulder. Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The proposed structure includes a unique rounded, glazed entry element along Canyon, an upper level glazed skybridge element between the existing and proposed structure visible from Canyon, and a unique pedestrian experience along the 10th Street pedestrian corridor with new decorative arched features and perforated, lighted metal panel design feature. - The proposal provides pedestrian scale applications on the first story through the use of substantial glazing, fenestration pattern, details such as steel lintels, awnings, and light fixtures, and the use of authentic human scale materials such as sandstone and limestone. - The proposal provides an appropriate setback and streetwall along Canyon consistent with prior approvals. - The existing, identifiable design of the outdoor space at Ninth and Canyon will be maintained. 3. Establish a physical gateway to downtown Boulder at Ninth and Canyon by developing special features and uses which provides a distinctive image. Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The existing design of the special landscaped open space at the Ninth and Canyon intersection will remain. The proposed structure with its well-proportioned design and use of high-quality authentic materials enhances the significance of the area. 4. Provide and enhance pedestrian connections within downtown and adjacent neighborhoods at Ninth and Canyon. 47 Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The pedestrian link through the site (“10th Street pedestrian corridor”) was established at the time of development of the existing site and will be maintained. A slight adjustment to the existing pedestrian easement is proposed to dedicate additional easement area and vacate a small portion of the existing easement (4.28 square feet) to allow for a structural column. Additional wayfinding signage, lighting, decorative arches, short- term bike parking, and landscaping planters will be added along the corridor. - Pedestrian facilities, including landscaped sidewalks, linking the site with adjacent pedestrian destinations were established at the time of development of the existing site and will be maintained. - The site includes on-site short- and long-term bike parking and a Lime scooter parking pad is available at 9th & Canyon. Transit stops are located nearby along Canyon and 9th Street and throughout downtown. - The applicant has provided a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan which includes information and education related to the use of transit. The proposal will add additional short- and long-term bike parking to bring the site into compliance with current requirements. The 10th Street pedestrian corridor will be enhanced with new directional signage to help pedestrians navigate to their destination or to the underground parking garage. 5. Provide quality public space. Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The existing design of the large landscaped open space at the Ninth and Canyon intersection will remain. This area is designed appropriate to the existing flood plain mapping on the site and the city’s flood plain regulations and provides excellent solar access, views, and outdoor seating and dining. 6. Public improvements should enhance the function and image of the project area. Consistent, the existing development and proposal include: - The existing public improvements such as the pedestrian activated cross walk at 10th Street and the 10th Street pedestrian corridor were provided at the time of the establishment of the existing development and will be maintained. A minor adjustment to the pedestrian corridor is proposed to accommodate a structural column. Additional wayfinding signage, lighting, decorative arches, short-term bike parking, and landscaping planters will be added along the corridor. E. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Improvements will be made to provide the infrastructure necessary to carry out the objectives of the Plan. Such improvements include, but are not limited to: 1. Environmental a) Floodplain Improvements b) Erosion and Storm Drainage Consistent, the proposal is being designed consistent with the city’s floodplain and storm drainage 48 regulations. No structures are proposed in the high hazard or conveyance zone. The existing and proposed structures are designed with flood protection measures. 2. Land Utilization Implementation of this Plan will result in a floor area ratio (FAR) that does not exceed the amount permitted by the underlying zoning. (Ord. 7989) Consistent. The fee simple area of the site (excluding rights-of-way) consists of 118,223 square feet and the FAR permitted by-right in the Downtown – 5 (DT-5) zoning district is 1.7, resulting in a permitted floor area of 200,979 square feet. The total floor area proposed for the site is 200,020 square feet, consistent with this requirement. 3. Streets/Access/Circulation a) Street improvements Consistent. The existing development completed streetscape improvements and established the 10th Street pedestrian corridor. b) Off-Street Parking Consistent. The existing development completed the requirement to establish the underground parking structure that replaced the former CAGID surface parking garage. The approved site review provided 656 underground parking spaces. One hundred of these spaces were allocated for the St. Julien and the remaining spaces replaced the former 171 CAGID spaces to offset the expected increase in parking demand in adjacent areas. There is no further parking requirement in the city code for the site, as it is located within CAGID. c) Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Consistent. The existing development provided improvements to pedestrian facilities including establishing detached sidewalks, the 10th Street pedestrian corridor, and landscaped open spaces. This proposal will include additional short- and long-term bike parking to bring the entire site into compliance with the current bike parking requirements. d) Transportation Facilities Consistent. The applicant has provided a Transportation Demand Management Plan which includes measures supporting a 20% alternative travel mode reduction to vehicle trips and provides a local shuttle. 4. Site Improvements a) Landscaping, Signage and Lighting Consistent. The existing development provided a landscaping plan and established on-site and right-of-way landscaping. The proposal includes a landscaping plan for minor updates including some additional landscaping along the proposed Canyon building frontage. Additional lighting is being provided along the 10th Street pedestrian corridor for safety and aesthetic enhancement. b) Open Spaces Consistent. The existing development established 50,000 square feet of publicly accessible improvements including the large open space at the southwest corner of the development, walkways, landscaped areas, the pedestrian corridor, etc. The proposed structure footprint is consistent with the area set aside for the “Phase II” development area that did not contribute to this space. The proposal will add additional landscaping along the Canyon building frontage. 49 c) Additional fire hydrants, stand pipes, etc. will be provided as needed to meet City Fire Code regulations. Consistent. The proposal has been reviewed by Boulder Fire Rescue and no additional improvements have been identified as necessary to serve the site.

Today, the Walnut Street side to the north of the site has a mix of restaurants, shops, and offices. Along the alley and to both the east and west at Canyon, the site is bordered by tall office buildings, with restaurant and retail located at the first level. The property directly adjacent to the site - 1095 Canyon Blvd, is a mix of retail and office space on the main floor with condominiums above. To the southwest, significant views of the Flatirons are visible from the site.1 - CIVIC PAD LOOKING WEST2 - EXISTING ST.

Southern portions of the site are also located in the conveyance and high hazard zones. Flood restrictions have helped to shape the site design and general building layout. A key element of the original project was the relocation of the conveyance zone boundary to the south to allow full use of the civic use building site. In addition, floodplain restrictions have required that non-residential buildings (including the parking garage) be flood-proofed without human intervention and hotel rooms be elevated above flood protection elevations. As proposed in this submission, the new structure will be dry-floodproofed to or above the flood protection elevation and will comply with all relevant code requirements. ACCESS, TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY Access to the Civic Building is available by pedestrians along 9th and 10th Streets, Walnut or Canyon. There is public parking below the site with elevator access to building entry with available bike and car parking and public transportation located nearby. Directional signage and the 10th Street site design are intended to separate people walking down 10th Street from cars entering and leaving the existing underground parking garage that sits directly below the Hotel and future Civic Use Building. As a condition of the original Site Review for the hotel, St. Julien provided a Pedestrian Easement to serve as the gateway into downtown and connect downtown to the CityÊs Civic Center, refer to R1.01. The buildings entry has been oriented such that it is adjacent to the elevator at the public parking as well as to pedestrians along the 10th Street Corridor. The Garage has 656 parking spaces, of which 100 are for the sole use of the existing hotel, while the remaining 556 spaces are allocated for public parking. There are also 93 spaces for bicycles located within the parking garage, along the pedestrian easement, and adjacent to the sidewalk at grade. As outlined in LUR2001-00017, there are no additional parking requirements for the civic use building as it is located within CAGID.OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPEThe existing landscape plan for the property shows a variety of plant and hard surface materials which accent streetscapes and enhance the projects buildings, including a Walnut Street entry court, approximately 50,000sf of publicly accessible open space on the southern side of the property, and the 10th Street corridor.The Civic Use Building is located entirely over the existing CAGID Garage, which sits above grade to provide flood protection at proposed openings for the building. As the existing garage expands to the extent of the property line(s), we do not have an opportunity to provide landscape along the 10th Street alley on the north and east sides of the building. To soften the urban landscape along the north, we have provided planters along the balcony perimeters at levels two thru four and a green roof above the mezzanine where the building is able to step back.SITE DESIGNThe existing St. Julien Hotel & Spa is located just outside of downtown Boulder and is surrounded with lush landscape and exceptional views of the Flatirons mountains. The proposed Civic Use Building is located on the southeast corner of the St. Julien property directly over the existing CAGID parking garage.7*))))7*777&++&$1<21%28/(9$5':$/187675((7$//(<&$1<21%28/(9$5'7+675((7($6(0(17(;,67,1*67-8/,(1+27(/(/(9  352326('&,9,&86(%8,/',1*(/(9  $5($2)1(:&216758&7,21:$/187675((7LEGEND:Designated Bike Route On-Street Bike Lane Separated Bike Lane Multi-Use Path Climbing LaneR0.02SITE DESIGN NARRATIVECIVIC USE BUILDING900 WALNUT STREET, BOULDER, CO 80302LAND USE REVIEWSITE REVIEW AMENDMENT23 AUGUST 2024110 LEVELG2LEVELG1LEVEL01ZONE LOT LINEHIGH HAZARD FLOW LINE EXISTING CUT IN STRUCTURAL SLAB FOR STAIR ACCESS TO CANYON BLVD. LEVEL G2LEVELG1EXISTING STRUCTURAL GRID IN CAGID PARKING GARAGE EXISTING CONDITIONSEXISTING GARAGE WALL Since February of 2000, St. Julien Partners, CAGID and the City of Boulder have envisioned a Civic Use Building adjacent to the St. Julien Hotel that would serve as a gateway between Downtown Boulder, thru the St. Julien Property to the City Civic Center. While there have been several interpretations over the years, it became evident that the building needed to be self-sustaining to remain viable. The proposed building is the culmination of years of planning among multiple entities. BUILDING SITING AND PUBLIC REALMThe Civic Use Building is oriented towards the south with views of the CityÊs Civic Center, Park and Flat Irons. The existing landscaped gardens, trees and adjacent publicly accessible open space is to remain and serve both the hotel and Civic Building. The pedestrian easement is intended as a connection from downtown to the Civic Center, while drawing pedestrians thru the entry court of the Civic Use Building and down towards the park. The entry court is to have a warm, subtle glow with layers of light, decorative paving, pedestrian scale canopies and planters. Refer to A3.03.FORM, MASSING, DESIGN AND MATERIALS The building height, mass, scale, orientation, and configuration are compatible with the existing character of the neighborhood and the 55Ê building height aligns with the buildings in the immediate area. The intent for the massing of the Civic Use Building is to complement the adjacent materiality of both the Hotel and the neighboring structure, while expressing its own identity ă refer to A2.03. In finding balance with the civic program on the main level and hotel above, the building has naturally evolved into a form with a solid, heavy base, a rhythmic middle and a lighter top. Paying homage to the neighboring flat irons, red sandstone is proposed to form the base ă as used in institutions across Boulder - cut or modular limestone, and metal inter-locking panels; refer to Sheets A2.01, A2.02, and A2.03. Each guest suite features a private balcony to provide relief within the perimeter planes and add depth to the elevations on the north and south sides of the building. EXISTING STRUCTUREOne of the design challenges for this project was to accommodate the existing structure within the parking garage, without the need to reinforce or modify the structural systems and existing flood protection ă while providing a clear span for the Banquet and Conference Facilities. To provide shoring, transfer beams, columns or new footings would have had significant impact on the parking garage and disrupt the buildings continuous waterproof membrane. After multiple structural studies, we have removed a planned mechanical mezzanine in the garage and aligned the columns directly above where they are currently located. We are utilizing post-tensioned concrete slabs to minimize the floor thickness and weight of the structure, while aligning the floor heights with the adjacent hotel. Without the ability to reinforce columns within the garage, the building form has less flexibility to step in plane or vary in height. Our post-tensioned slabs have gained strength in their continuity and resting on the perimeter column line to avoid over-loading interior columns.In addition to the inability to the reinforce structural columns, the top of the structural slab is located above grade. There are existing garage exhausts at the northeast and southeast corners, as well as an existing slab leave-out for future egress stair at the southeast corner of the building. BUILDING DESIGNTo maximize southern exposure for the conference facilities and provide transparency at the entry court, we have located the egress stair on the east side of the building, with the existing garage egress and kitchen along the north and northeast sides of the property. In an effort to allow solar access and accommodate the existing structure along the east side of the property line, we have stepped the building back at both the northeast and southeast corners by cantilevering the structure as much as we are able within the existing structural constraints.R0.03BUILDING DESIGN NARRATIVECIVIC USE BUILDING900 WALNUT STREET, BOULDER, CO 80302LAND USE REVIEWSITE REVIEW AMENDMENT23 AUGUST 2024111 CIVIC USE BUILDING900 WALNUT STREET, BOULDER, CO 80302LAND USE REVIEWSITE REVIEW AMENDMENT23 AUGUST 2024R0.P2REFERENCE LEVEL P2 PARKING PLAN%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6 %1/2#%6%1/2#%6 %1/2#%6 § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z%1/2#%6%1/2#%6%1/2#%6 § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z § §Z83;314530:876.--+*(''&&%.)(3(;,67,1*3$5.,1**$5$*()5217=21(/27/,1()5217=21(/27/,1(6$6=21(/27/,1(,17(5,25=21(/27/,1(5($5=21(/27/,1(,17(5,25=21(/27/,1(6$6=21(/27/,1((;,67,1*3$5.,1**$5$*(    6&$/(  5()(5(1&(/(9(/33$5.,1*3/$1 (;,67,1* PLAN LEGENDZONE LOT LINEPARKING GARAGENEW CONSTRUCTIONEXTENTSVERTICALCIRCULATION112 CIVIC USE BUILDING900 WALNUT STREET, BOULDER, CO 80302LAND USE REVIEWSITE REVIEW AMENDMENT23 AUGUST 2024REFERENCE LEVEL P1 PARKING PLANR0.P1PLAN LEGENDZONE LOT LINEPARKING GARAGENEW CONSTRUCTIONEXTENTSVERTICALCIRCULATIONBIKE PARKING GROUND LEVEL......... 23 short termLEVEL P1.................... 20 short term spaces 50 long term spaces BIKE PARKINGELEC.

Maintain a human scale, rather than monolithic or monumental scale. 1. Avoid large featureless facade surfaces. Include architectural elements and patterns that divide the facade into familiar intervals. A single facade should not exceed a maximum of 75 linear feet. BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS: 2.2.C.1 There is a concern that the balconies were too large and could be softened, tied in more with the design structure of the St. Julien. The southwest corner was problematic in that it appeared unfinished and is maybe a little bit too busy and that it needs to be simplified - too many materials being used. DESIGN TEAM RESPONSE04.12.2024To reduce the overall massing at the primary corner of the building, hotel suite balconies on Levels 03-04 at the southwest corner of the building have been relocated to the west elevation.

Buildings designed for residential or industrial uses may have fewer defined entries. BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS: (h)(3)(a) Is there an outdoor use that could be tied to the arch of the entryway? Can there be more transparency associated with the entrance getting out onto Canyon? The public realm interface needs to exist at more of a human scale. DESIGN TEAM RESPONSE04.12.2024To create a more distinct entry point into the new Civic Use Space, the design has been modified to ensure that the entry is not blocked by the corner massing as discussed with the DAB. The overhead mass of the connecting bridge has been reduced in an effort to provide additional, more welcoming space between the original hotel and new addition. This better defined outdoor space will provide quality pre-function space for events in the new Civic Use Building.

The site is located north of Canyon Boulevard and east of 9th Street in Boulder. The site is proposed to include a civic event space and 39 additional hotel rooms for the St. Julien Hotel above the existing CAGID parking garage. The propo- sed site will be connected to the adjacent St. Julien Hotel to the west on Levels 2 through 4. The location of the site with respect to the surrounding land uses and roadway system is shown in Figure 1. The conceptual site plan is shown in Figure 2. This TDM Plan supports a 20 percent alternative travel mode reduction supported by the various TDM alternatives available in the City of Boulder and the TDM measures proposed by the applicant. The percentage could be much higher if the event is focused on local attendees. Existing Alternate Travel Modes Description The following existing conditions contribute to the transportation demand management goals of the City of Boulder. The site is well-positioned to make good use of these existing opportunities. Existing Transit Service The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is the governing body responsible for fixed- route transit (public transportation) service throughout the Denver metropolitan area, in- cluding Boulder. Figure 3 shows the existing bus stops and transit routes within the vicinity of the site, including the following routes: • 204 • 205 • 208 • 225 •AB1 • BOLT •DASH • HOP •JUMP 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800) August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 1 146 • NB2 •SKIP Demand-responsive services are available to both seniors and persons with disabilities through Via (formerly Special Transit). Established in 1979, this non-profit provides safe and affordable rides in accessible buses to people with limited mobility. Rides are sche- duled in advance and have a 30-minute pick-up window. Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Network The City of Boulder maintains an extensive bicycle and pedestrian network throughout the City. Figure 4 shows bicycle and pedestrian routes within the vicinity of the site. In addition, many of the streets in the project vicinity have attached or detached sidewalks. The St. Julien Hotel has an e-bike and traditional bike loaner program for guests. These bikes will be available for civic event space attendees staying at the St. Julien Hotel. Existing Lime Electric Scooters and B-Cycle There is a Lime Electric Scooter parking pad on the St. Julien Hotel site and a few B-Cycle locations in the general area. The applicant indicates that neither Lime Electric Scooters or B-Cycle are currently used by hotel employees - many of whom commute from outside of Boulder via the ECO Passes provided by CAGID. The bus pass program has been very successful based on feedback from the St. Julien Hotel. Eco passes will be available for the six new employees estimated for the new use. The new employees will be house- keeping for the additional 39 hotel rooms. The civic event space could have a few outside employees for large events such as a caterer or event planner. 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800) August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 2 147 SITEMapFigure 1VicinityScale: 1"=600'Approximate Scale900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)August 19, 2024LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 3148 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 4149 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 5150 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)August 19, 2024LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 6151 Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Discussion The applicant is proposing to construct a civic event space and 39 additional hotel rooms above the existing CAGID parking garage adjacent to the St. Julien Hotel - the two sites will be connected on Floors 2 through 4. The proposed use will include approximately six new housekeeping employees to service the additional 39 hotel rooms. The civic event space will be served by existing hotel staff. Large events could have a few outside employees such as a caterer or event planner. The six new employees will be eligible for Eco-Passes provided by CAGID (Central Area General Improvement District) similar to existing employees. The site is located in a transit-rich area of the City with multiple routes/stops within easy walking distance. The site is just over a quarter mile walk to the existing RTD bus terminal at Canyon Boulevard/14th Street. Existing St. Julien Parking Garage Community Vitality currently has 137 permits available for purchase in the St. Julien garage and occupancy in the garage is typically around 40 percent during afternoon peak demands. The St. Julien Hotel has 100 dedicated parking spaces within the existing par- king garage. Hotel management and supervisory staff are provided paid parking permits by the hotel but the six new civic event space staff will not qualify. The six new employees will be eligible for Eco-Passes through CAGID. Existing Shuttle Service The hotel operates a local shuttle for hotel guests that operates within a two-mile radius of the site. No Airport service is provided. Employees/staff typically utilize ECO bus passes provided by CAGID. Existing 10th Street North of the Site The existing street is wide enough for two directions of travel by passenger vehicles and box trucks. Existing deliveries of food, beverages, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc. are able to park in the street and still allow passage of another vehicle past them in either direction. The applicant has a few days worth of alley operations on video which show little to no 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800) August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 7 152 congestion - the recordings can be made available upon request. There are two parking garage access locations east of the site as shown in Figure 5 - most vehicles using these access points arrive and depart to/from the east via 11th Street. Hotel guests will primarily arrive via the Walnut Street St. Julien Hotel entrance or via the parking garage accessed from Walnut Street. After arriving, hotel guests will check in at the front desk and then take the hotel elevators to Levels 02-04 to access guest rooms. For guests attending an event in the proposed civic use space, after arriving at the main entry of the St. Julien hotel, they will head towards the southeast exit from the original hotel, exit the building, and enter the new addition event space via the primary entrance accessed from the covered pedestrian walkway. Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber/Lyft are expected to use the existing hotel entrance on Walnut Street because the hotel and civic event space will be connected on the second through fourth floors. The applicant has commented that large St. Julien hotel events and large civic event space events will occur on separate days or be sufficiently staggered to avoid unnecessary impacts. Table 1 shows the actions the applicant intends to take to increase the percentage of alternative travel modes utilized by the site. An alternative travel mode reduction of 20 percent is targeted for the proposed land use. The percentage could be much higher if the event is focused on local attendees. The site is located within CAGID so no on-site parking spaces are required for non- residential uses and employees are eligible for CAGID funded bus passes. The St. Julien Hotel has 100 dedicated parking spaces in the on-site garage which is 100 more spaces than required within CAGID. 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800) August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 8 153 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800)August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 9154 900 Walnut TDM Plan (LSC #230800) August 19, 2024 LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.Page 10 CAGID TDM Plan Elements Meet Short-Term Bicycle Parking Code The applicant is proposing 43 short-term bicycle parking spaces which meets the requirement of 43 short-term bicycle parking spaces. These spaces will be located near the 10th Street pedestrian corridor and in the parking garage. Meet Long-Term Bicycle Parking Code The site includes 50 long-term secure and covered bicycle parking spaces which exceeds the requirement of 42 long-term bicycle parking spaces. The Applicant will provide a secured caged area in the current bicycle parking area if approved by CAGID. The Applicant indicates the current bicycle parking in the garage is underutilized so the Applicant would like the opportunity to discuss with CAGID the appropriate amount of long-term bicycle parking that should be provided. Ratio of MOV Mode Share The applicant will include ridesharing information in its employee orientation packets. This will include eGo Car sharing, B-Cycle bike sharing, DRCOG's RideArrangers, and ride sharing with Uber/Lyft. Pedestrian Enhancements Connections will be made to the existing sidewalks around the site as appropriate. This will include providing a pedestrian/bicycle connection to the multi-use path south of the site. Bike Enhancements The site will have connections to the existing sidewalks and paths in the vicinity of the site including connections to the existing multi-use path just south of the site. The St. Julien Hotel provides loaner e-bikes and traditional bikes to guests - this benefit will be available to hotel guests attending an event in the civic event space. Changing Facilities - Conditional The proposed restrooms will serve as suitable changing facilities. There are existing locker rooms in the existing hotel on Level 1. Transportation Information Center/ Access/Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) Network The site will include transportation information in its employee packets/employee orientation process. The information will also be available in interior brochure racks within the building. The applicant will participate in future surveys conducted by the City regarding travel modes. BECO Pass Participation BECO-Passes will be provided to employees by CAGID (Central Area General Improvement District). Vehicle Parking Parking spaces for non-residential uses are not required within CAGID but the St. Julien Hotel has 100 dedicated parking spaces within the on-site CAGID parking garage. The Applicant is agreeable to CAGID modifying a few existing garage parking spaces to motorcycle spaces as appropriate. TDM Toolkit Element Table 1 900 Walnut Proposed TDM Plan Elements 155 CITY OF BOULDER DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: September 24, 2024 AGENDA TITLE Parking Product Evaluation Kick Off PRESENTER(S) Cris Jones, Interim Director of Community Vitality Kristine Edwards, Sr. Manager of Operations and Maintenance, Community Vitality Samantha Bromberg, Sr. Project Manager, Community Vitality EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In light of the "District Outlook: Analyses of Commercial Center Connections, Quality of Life, Capital Planning, and Financials Alternatives” project, Community Vitality is ready to analyze its parking assets to ensure they are being used to support CAGID’s mission and align with the City’s SER Framework. Community Vitality staff recognizes the pivotal role these assets play in facilitating community access and mobility to these key activity centers. However, to ensure these parking assets effectively serve their intended purposes and meet the evolving needs of our districts, a targeted assessment and engagement strategy focused on parking utilization and community needs are essential. The mission of this project is to enhance the accessibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of district-owned parking and access assets to support vibrant and inclusive communities. BACKGROUND The DMC is responsible for the mission of Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID). General Improvement Districts are designed to: -Provide parking and related improvements 156 - Improve access to districts through provision of transportation options - Maintain and repair other public assets located in district that benefit purposes of the district - Improve overall health and welfare of the area - Responsible stewardship of public resources for the benefit of the entire City. Simultaneously, as an advisory board to City Council, the DMC manages CAGID’s assets, products and programs within the City’s Sustainability, Equity and Resilience Framework: - Safe: A welcoming and inclusive community that fosters positive neighborhood and community relations and ensures that all residents are secure and cared for during emergencies and natural disasters. Public Infrastructure is well-maintained and reliable, and natural resources like water, air and land are protected. - Healthy and Socially Thriving: All Boulder Residents are able to meet their critical needs, enjoy high levels of social, physical, and mental well-being, and have access to abundant recreational, cultural and educational opportunities in an environment that respects and celebrates human rights. - Livable: High-performing, safe, and well-maintained buildings and infrastructure that accommodate a diverse set of community needs for working, learning, playing and living. - Accessible and Connected: A safe, accessible, and sustainable multimodal transportation system that connects people with each other and where they want to go. Open access to information is provided both physically and digitally to foster connectivity and promote community engagement. - Environmentally sustainable: A sustainable, thriving, and equitable community that benefits from and supports clean energy; preserves and responsibly uses the earth’s resources; and cares for ecosystems. - Responsibly Governed: A local government that provides excellent customer experience, responsibly manages the city’s assets, and makes data-driven decisions informed by community engagement inclusive of those who have been historically excluded from government programs and services. The city organization exemplifies an employe or choice with policies and programs to support employee inclusion and well- being. - Economically Vital: A healthy, accessible, resilient, and sustainable economy based on innovation, diversity, and collaboration that benefits all residents, businesses and visitors. In July staff presented to the DMC about the capital improvements project and preparations for Construction Manager/General Contractor CMGC strategies for two garages. Staff also introduced this project as an opportunity to meet changing community needs by evaluating the utilization of our facilities. EXISTING CONDITIONS The largest portion of CAGID’s assets are six mixed-use parking garages and one surface parking lot. In downtown Boulder, parking options include on-street spaces and several key facilities: five CAGID-owned garages offer both hourly and permit parking (orange), and the 157 permit-only Trinity garage (red), the CAGID-owned Spruce surface lot (purple) for hourly parking, three general fund owned permit-only surface lots along 14th Street known as the East Bookend lots (purple), and the Civic Area municipal lots (purple), which provide hourly parking and space for City of Boulder employees. We currently offer the following parking products: Permits • Monthly permits at five downtown garages: $165/month • Trinity garage permits: $100/month • East Bookend lot permits: $96/month Other products • Hourly parking available at five downtown garages, the Spruce lot, and the municipal lots • ‘3 for $3’ in five downtown garages • $15 daily max in five downtown garages • 20 Day Pass: $10/day in five downtown garages • Eco Pass – In 2024, changes were made to the downtown EcoPass program to allow part-time employees access where previously only full-time employees were eligible. To gain a deeper understanding of the local landscape, staff have conducted market research on nearby parking operators. Here is what we found: 158 Permits • 1048 Pearl St Garage - $200/Month • 15th and Spruce Garage - $200/Month • One Boulder Plaza - $230/Month Hourly parking • 15th and Spruce Garage • $2 each 30min • $16 daily max • Weeknight flat rates after 4pm ($5 Sun-Thur, $10 Fri -Sat) • One Boulder Plaza • $2/hr from 8am-5pm • $1/hr all over times (closed from 11pm to 6am) • Wells Fargo Lot • 1st hour - $3 • 1:01 hr – 1:30hr - $5 • 1:31hr – 2:00hr - $7 • 2:01hr – 3:30hr - $10 • 3:31hr - $20 To summarize, the City’s parking permit prices are significantly below market value, our hourly rates are slightly below market value, and we are the only parking operator which offers free weekend parking. To assist drivers in finding available parking, we provide some wayfinding signage around the commercial districts indicating parking locations, complemented by the new digital displays outside garages that show real-time parking availability. The parking wayfinding signage downtown has not been updated or reviewed in several years, and warrants a closer look given likely changes in travel patterns over time. Staff have analyzed utilization trends across downtown and discovered that while some parking assets are well-utilized, others remain significantly underutilized. For example, the 1100 Spruce garage daily peak is consistently between 70-85% full, and reaches capacity on specific weekends, while the 1400 Walnut garage is more likely to only reach 30-40% full at its daily peak. Additionally, we found that these trends have shifted considerably since the pandemic, yet all CAGID parking products were designed prior to this shift and have not been reevaluated since—aside from hourly pricing adjustments in the garages with the introduction of Metropolis. Findings include much higher parking utilization during the weekends, where previously the weekdays were the highest utilized. For example, where the daily peak during the work week for the 1400 Walnut garage may be between 10-40%, on Saturdays that number increases to 60%. For the 1100 Walnut garage, the daily peak on weekdays is around 50%, and on weekends that number is closer to 80-90%. Permit sales are also skewed, with the East Bookend Lots fully sold 159 out with long waitlists, and the Trinity Garage undersold with 33 of the 52 permits still available for purchase. In addition to analyzing utilization trends and quantitative data, staff have been gathering qualitative insights from public feedback. A recent NextDoor post asking City residents what it would take for them to return downtown generated the following responses: • “Parking is a real problem. The garages are scary, and street parking is difficult.” • “I would never park in a parking garage while I was alone. Unsafe.” • “Safety on Pearl is ok, except for bikes. I echo that I'd love to bike there and feel like my bike is safe.” • “Easier parking would help.” • “I find that I avoid the Mall out of apprehension that I’ll run into an undesirable incident.” • “As for the shops, nobody local can afford to shop at them given what we’re paying for housing. Literally no money for high-end shops. We need the mom&pop/creative artsy shops back!s.” Our survey earlier this year of the recent transition to gateless garages informed us that misinformation about parking in Boulder continues to be a challenge, especially for older adults who don’t feel welcome downtown. To summarize, staff have identified three problem areas within the existing conditions that could be addressed by this project. These problem areas are: 1. Supply & Demand – Staff has identified some mismatch between parking and permit availability and current customer demand. 2. Public Perception – There is a perception that parking in Boulder is challenging and unsafe. 3. Climate Initiatives – The City has a goal of being carbon neutral by 2035 and carbon positive by 2040. Transportation contributes approximately 35% of Boulder’s community-wide emissions. OBJECTIVES In reviewing trends and current challenges, staff have come up with the following objectives for the CAGID assets. • Support all modes of transportation downtown: Enhance accessibility and mobility within the district by improving the availability, convenience, and reliability of multimodal transportation options for all users. 160 • Manage parking demand across the district: Increase the efficient use of district- owned parking lots and garages to better meet the parking and access needs of businesses, visitors, property owners, commuters, and to attract people to the districts. • Maintain safe, accessible, and activated district assets: Create a secure and well- maintained environment that fosters confidence and comfort for all users through proper lighting, surveillance, and infrastructure upkeep. • Create a consistent parking experience across Boulder: Provide users with predictable, reliable, and convenient parking options through uniform signage and predictable pricing. • Support the ‘Park Once’ philosophy: Encourage those who must drive to park their vehicles once and use other modes of transportation during, like walking, biking, or public transit, to navigate within downtown, reducing traffic congestion and promoting more sustainable, pedestrian-friendly environments. • Support the Downtown Economy: Optimize parking resources to encourage more visitors, improve accessibility, and enhance overall convenience, thereby driving increased foot traffic and local business activity. OPTIONS DEVELOPMENT To the end of achieving the outlined objectives, staff have begun to develop some short, medium, and long-term options to explore, for which we are hoping to solicit feedback from the DMC. These options include the following. Support all modes of transportation downtown • Explore additional multimodal benefits for CAGID employees. This might include BCycle memberships, secure bike storage facilities, etc. Manage parking demand across the district • Review and update the existing parking wayfinding signage downtown based on new traffic patterns to help guide drivers to the garages. • Identify customer needs that aren’t currently being met by our products. This could include residential permits for CAGID residents lacking overnight parking options. Maintain safe, accessible, and activated district assets • Implement safety improvements in the garages to help users feel more comfortable and secure. These improvements could include lighting, cell connectivity, and additional security cameras. Create a consistent parking experience across Boulder • Consider permit pricing changes to prevent undercutting the local market. • Consider pricing changes to better align hourly parking in CAGID assets with the on- street parking pricing downtown. 161 Support the ‘Park Once’ philosophy • Creative marketing campaigns to improve public perception of parking availability downtown. This could include more consistent promotion of parking options in utility bills, and partnering with businesses to provide parking validations. Support Downtown Economy - Consider ways to support small businesses. This should include promoting the Affordable Commercial Program to property owners and small businesses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: SHORT TERM OPTION While most of these options can be incorporated into the 2025-2027 work plans, permit pricing adjustments could be implemented sooner. Currently the going rate for monthly permits n in privately operated downtown garages ranges from $200-$230 per month, while the CAGID garages offer permits at $165. Staff have considered gradually increasing prices over the next few years to bring them closer to market value. Historically, prices have only changed every other year, leading to the current gap between CAGID and market rates. To address supply and demand issues—such as waitlists at the East Bookend Lots and underutilization at the Trinity Garage—staff suggest slightly higher increases for the East Bookend Lots, while keeping Trinity Garage prices unchanged. Parking prices in the US tend to be fairly inelastic, meaning that as prices rise, we should not expect a decrease in demand. Since CAGID’s rates remain well beneath market value, staff do not anticipate significant changes in permit sales due to the proposed pricing changes. 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Downtown Garages $155 2.2% $155 0% $160 3.2% $160 0% $165 3.1% $170 3.0% $175 2.9% $180 2.8% Trinity Garage $100 NA $100 0% $100 0% $100 0% $100 0% $100 0% East Bookend Lots $90 1.9% $90 0% $92.67 3% $92.67 0% $95.67 3.2% $100 4.5% $105 5% $110 4.8% If prices for downtown garage permits increase by 3% and East Bookend surface lots increase by 4.5%, we could anticipate an increase in district revenue of $135k in 2025. 162 Additional revenues generated by permit price increases could fund the additional transportation options we are developing as well as the continued maintenance and capital improvements of CAGID assets. NEXT STEPS Staff is soliciting feedback from the DMC on project objectives and options development. Based on DMC feedback, staff will be putting together a timeline and project plan which will be presented at the November meeting. If the DMC approves of permit pricing changes proposed by staff, these adjustments can be implemented for the 2025 calendar year. QUESTIONS FOR DMC 1. Does the DMC have questions for staff about the existing conditions? 2. Does the DMC agree with the identified objectives for CAGID parking assets? Are there any changes the DMC would like to suggest? 3. Does the DMC have any feedback on the recommended mechanisms to meet the objectives? 163 Page 1 of 6 2024 Affordable Commercial Pilot Grant Program Full Application PURPOSE: This affordable commercial grant program is intended to help address a gap in the market for more affordable commercial space and increase opportunities for local small businesses to thrive in our commercial centers.

By passing the franchise agreement, voters also approved a partnership between the City of Boulder and Xcel Energy. Through this partnership, the city and Xcel are to work together to advance the community’s energy-related climate, resilience and equity goals. The Partnership also provides a pathway to test, innovate and then scale innovations so they have an impact beyond Boulder. The overarching goals of the partnership are to: • Achieve 100% Carbon-Free Electricity by 2030 – Develop programs and solutions that would close the gap between Xcel’s system-wide emissions and the community’s goal of 100% emissions free electricity. • Reduce Overall Emissions – Increase participation in energy efficiency, demand management and building and transportation electrification programs consistent with the community’s goals of 70% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2035. • Increase Local Generation of Renewable Electricity – Increase local adoption of renewable energy and energy storage with a target that half of Boulder’s clean energy would be produced close to where it’s used by 2050. • Ensure a Safe, Resilient and Reliable Energy System – Improve grid reliability and resilience through infrastructure investment and modernization. • Create Innovative and Equitable Solutions for a Diverse Community - Identify projects, programs and initiatives that ensure all community members have equitable access to affordable energy. 186 Franchise Opt-Outs Unique to Boulder’s franchise agreement are provisions that allow the community to terminate the franchise prior to the full 20-year term. The provisions allow for two types of opt outs: • 5-, 10- and 15-Year Franchise Anniversaries: The franchise can be terminated for any reason through either a two-thirds vote by City Council or through community ballot. Executing such termination must be done on or before December 15 prior to the end of the 5-year-term increment.1 • Greenhouse Gas Progress: The community, through two-thirds vote by City Council or through community ballot, may elect to terminate the franchise early if Xcel fails to achieve the system-wide emissions benchmarks set forth in the franchise agreement: o In the calendar year 2022: no more than 16.6 million short tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) o In the calendar year 2024: no more than 13.6 million short tons CO2e o In the calendar year 2027: no more than 11.5 million short tons CO2e o In the calendar year 2030: no more than 6.9 million short tons CO2e Executing such termination must be done on or before December 15 of the year following publication of the benchmark as independently validated by The Climate Registry. 2 The City of Boulder and Xcel Energy: Energy Partnership Agreement 2023 – 2025 Overview provides a detailed summary of the scope of the intended partnership efforts. Figure 1, which is drawn from the Overview document, summarizes the workplan into the following areas – Energy Efficiency (residential and commercial), Building Electrification (existing and new buildings), Transportation Electrification (city fleet and community programs), Local Renewable Generation and Storage, New Programs and Innovations, and Resiliency and Reliability. While discreet projects within all areas of focus will be initiated or completed the three-year period, the intent of the overview is to provide greater clarity on how partnership work will be prioritized and how success will measured against the community’s goals. 1 The termination deadlines are December 15 of 2025, 2030 or 2035. 2 As of [date] publication of 2022 benchmark remains pending. 187 Figure 1 - The 2023 through 2025 Work Plan Focus on Energy Efficiency, Building Electrification, Transportation Electrification, Local Renewable Generation and Storage, Innovations, and Reliability and Resilience PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS The following provides a high-level overview of some of the more notable accomplishments to date under the partnership. Streetlight Acquisition Xcel owns and operates most of the streetlights in the city. Xcel and the city collaborated to explore different models for transitioning the streetlights to more efficient LED technology, as well as ways to improve the overall performance and reliability of the system. Ultimately, the team mutually concluded that the best and most cost-effective path forward was for the city to purchase the streetlights from Xcel. In 2022, City Council approved just over $7 million in funding to purchase the streetlights and to fund the LED retrofit. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission approved the transaction in August 2024 and the sale is expected to be complete in late September or early October 2024. City Fleet Electrification The city organization has already converted approximately one-third of its light-duty vehicle fleet to electric vehicles and continues to work towards full electrification of its fleet. To support this effort, Xcel will construct and operate charging infrastructure at multiple city facilities. Construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed by late 2024. 188 30-Pearl Vehicle to Grid Pilot Project Xcel has installed bi-directional charging stations at Boulder Housing Partner’s multi-family housing building at 30th and Pearl. The city and Xcel partnered with Colorado Car Share to provide a car share program at this location. The project will test electric vehicles can be used to reduce electric demand at peak times and provide utility bill savings. Undergrounding Under the settlement and franchise agreement, Xcel committed to approximately $16 million in the first 5 years and $33 million overall for undergrounding of power lines. These funds are to be used specifically for undergrounding in public right-of-way, primarily in conjunction with city transportation or utility projects. To date, two projects have been completed – North Broadway and 19th Street. Construction has begun on a third project that will underground lines along East Arapahoe from Foothills to approximately 55th Street. Work will also commence soon on undergrounding at Chautauqua. RELIABILITY Electric system safety and reliability remains a substantial concern for the Boulder community. Xcel’s wildfire mitigation efforts, including the April Public Safety Power Shutdown and the August outages impacting the downtown and Hill areas, have had a substantial impact, particularly on the business community. City staff, in partnership with the Boulder Chamber and Downtown Business Partnership are in discussions with Xcel to understand what is being done to mitigate and reduce the effects of wildfire safety operations. Xcel is expected to provide the community with an update on their efforts, likely in October. Announcements will be made once details are finalized. The city is also an intervening party to Xcel’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which is currently going through the regulatory approval process at the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Staff will be advocating for priority investments to harden the system and reduce the need for proactive outages. The PUC is expected to make a decision on Xcel’s proposed $2 billion in investments during second quarter of 2025. 189 Civic Area: Planning Analysis and Park Perceptions Summary Executive Summary At the beginning of the 2023, Boulder Parks and Recreation launched the scoping phase for the Civic Area Phase 2 Project. The project is now in the Planning and Analysis phase which is expected to run through the end of 2024. The intent of this item is to provide the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) with an update on the process and results of Engagement Window 1: Park Perceptions, as well an overview of next steps for Engagement Window 2: Vision and Values. Planning Context The summary of the planning process for Boulder’s Downtown Civic Area can be found in this link from the PRAB January Meeting (see page 25). This process led to the City Council approved 2015 Civic Area Park Plan and the Phase 1 park improvements completed in 2018. The next revitalization phase of the Civic Area includes developing a schematic design for Civic Park, Central Park, Farmer’s Market – including 13th Street, Arboretum Path, and East and West Bookends as key spaces to reimagine. Later in the process and depending upon available funding, some aspects will move forward for construction. $18M has been allocated to fund design and construction from the Community Culture, Safety and Resilience tax. Previous PRAB Engagement for this project includes: • Civic Area Kickoff – 1/23/23 (page 25) • Historic District – 6/26/23 (page 29) • July Update – 7/24/23 (page 45) • Site Tour Event – 8/28/23 (page 17) • City Council Rejection of Motion to Adopt Civic Area Historic District Window 1 Engagement Process Between February and May of 2024, City of Boulder staff, in collaboration with Downtown Community Connectors, implemented 13 engagement events to gain feedback from the community. The engagement process was guided by the 7 principles of the Civic Area Park Plan, the Sustainability, Equity and Resiliency Framework (SER), the Engagement Strategic Framework, and Equity-centered Engagement. Central Questions posed to the community include: • What do you envision doing in the Civic Area? • What are your top values and guiding principles that will help inform the Civic Area Phase 2 project? • What are your top concerns for the Civic Area and future design? • How would you like to connect to the Civic Area through the Arboretum? Overview of Engagement Events: • Spanish Speaking Focus Group* • Equity Focus Group* • Mapleton HOA (Manufactured Housing Community) * • Roll and Stroll (People Experiencing Disabilities) * • Online Questionnaire (Spanish translation provided and demographic information collected) * • Bridge House (Unhoused Population) * • Boulder High Art Honors Society* • Community Organization Meeting (Stakeholders) • Family Concert and Community Feedback Public Event 190 • CU Environmental Design Students • Age Well Centers Mural Pop-up * Representation of historically excluded groups The Focus on Equity in Civic Area’s Phase 2 Engagement Process: The SER Framework was used to ensure diverse representation and co-creation in the design and activation of the Civic Area. This equity-centered engagement process was the product of close collaboration between City of Boulder Staff, Downtown Community Connectors, and design consultants, guided by the Equity Plan and Instrument. The process included: • Intentional Focus Groups Formed to Elevate: • Racial equity discussions space activation and place making • Universal design and programming feedback with disability equity discussions • Youth engagement series on youth space activation and place making • Conversations with low-income populations and the unhoused • Intergenerational feedback from older adults, college students, teens, and families • Wide-Reaching Methods of Engagement, Including: • Focus group meetings • Pop-up idea murals • Design proposals from CU Boulder students • Boulder High School’s Civic Area Art Gallery • Family and community feedback concert • Online questionnaire • Engagement Data, Analysis, and Outcomes that: • Elevated voices of historically excluded communities, especially a need to create a welcoming, inclusive, safe, and connected urban heart • Fostered community support for the next phase of design • Highlighted top priorities for the Civic Area, according to community members Data from this window will be analyzed for the successful outreach and inclusion of historically excluded groups. Lessons taken from Window 1 will be incorporated into Window 2 and will provide further opportunities for community groups to give input, creating a more inclusive and equitable engagement process. In Window 2, we will share with the community what we heard and ask for confirmation of these findings and additional input. These two windows will capture a wide range of feedback from across the community before the design process begins (design starting in spring of 2025, see Diagram 6: Project Schedule below). 191 Overview of Window 1 Engagement Findings: • 1318 public comments were collected and analyzed. From these comments, 50 themes emerged under the 7 Guiding Principles (see Figure A) Figure A: Guiding Principles and Emerging Themes from 1318 Community Comments After analyzing the comments, the 7 Guiding Principles were placed in order of importance, shown in Figure B below. The figure shows data from the Boulder community as well as a separate column for historically excluded groups. Figure B: Key Findings of Guiding Principles 192 Figure C shows the top themes that emerged within the community’s three most important principles. A full list of Themes can be seen in Figure A above. Figure C: Key Findings of Top Themes 193 Summary of Top 3 Principles: The Boulder community prioritized three top principles in their feedback for Civic Area Phase 2. Here is a summary of public comments and priorities surrounding these principles: • Place for Community Activity and Arts: Diverse Activation Will Bring Us Together o Family and Child-Friendly Areas: Prioritize safe and family-oriented activities including water play, nature play, crafts, learning stations, shaded picnic areas, affordable dining, and winter programming. Enhance amenities like public restrooms, trash/recycling bins, clean-up operations, and shaded seating for family gatherings. Picnicking and food gathering opportunities are of special interest to historically excluded groups. o Community and Cultural Events: Include diverse programming such as Latinx food festivals, salsa music, concerts, talent shows, movie nights, street painting festivals, and, especially, an expanded Farmer’s Market. Design the space to encourage community recreation activities such as dance, yoga, pickup games, lawn games, ice skating, or community runs/walks. o Public Art and Interactive Spaces: Enhance park appeal with mural walls, sculpture gardens, graffiti/sticker walls, and affordable spaces for local artists. Dedicated spaces for teens to gather are of special interest to historically excluded groups. • Outdoor Culture and Nature: Recreation and Connection to the Natural World o Enhancing Green Spaces: Increase green areas, trees, flowers, and natural elements. Promote relaxation activities like forest bathing, hammocking, and nature walks. Plant trees for shade, create gardens, and enhance creek access while ensuring cleanliness and safety. A general connection to nature is a higher priority than outdoor recreation for historically excluded groups. o Promoting Outdoor Activities and Recreation: Develop infrastructure for outdoor activities, especially in relation to Boulder Creek. Recreation including yoga, rock climbing, kayaking, tubing, bike races, cross-country skiing, zip lines, and sledding hills are desired by the community. Create nature play areas for children and spaces for relaxation. o Community Gardens and Edible Landscapes: Encourage gardening and sustainable food practices with fruit-bearing trees, food forests, community- supported agriculture, and pollinator habitats. Integrate education and environmental programs. • Civic Heart of Boulder: Equity, Inclusivity, and Multicultural Unification in Downtown o Inclusivity, Cultural Representation, and Co-creation: Reflect Boulder’s diversity through markets, events, and food festivals, creating a multicultural heart of the city. Support activation for smaller gatherings with park staff, integrate historical and cultural storytelling, and ensure an equitable engagement process for park creation. Foster a strong sense of belonging and welcoming in the space. This theme is more highly prioritized for historically excluded groups. o Accessibility and Affordability: Ensure low-cost permits and rents for market 194 spaces, establish an easy-to-use reservation permit system for park spaces, allow extended use windows for park shelters, include low-cost parking and dining options. Prioritize economic accessibility for students and low-income families. Prioritize universal access and sensory experiences for people experiencing disability. Community Feedback on Safety in the Civic Area: • Community members made many comments about unsocial behaviors and illegal activities in the Civic Area, and they expressed frustration around not feeling safe enough to use that space in its current state. The community would feel safer using the space if it were activated and programmed year-round, and if it included security personnel, nighttime lighting, and diligent cleanup of hazardous materials. While expressing frustration, the community also expressed humanitarian concern and sadness for people experiencing homelessness living in the area. Historically excluded groups expressed a higher concern for humanitarian issues in the area. 195 Graphic Analysis of Engagement Results: Shown below is a series of diagrams which graphically communicate findings from the Engagement Window 1 including feedback from historically underrepresented communities, how people feel in the civic space, and examples of notable comments from the community that reflect key findings described above. Diagram 1: Racial Equity – The graphic displays an analysis of feedback from the Spanish-First event, equity focus group, and online questionnaire where demographic data was collected for historically excluded groups. 196 Diagram 2: Disability Equity – The graphic shows an analysis of feedback from the Roll and Stroll event and other focus group meetings where people experiencing disability participated. 197 Diagram 3: Youth Equity - The graphic displays an analysis of youth feedback from the family concert and Boulder High School focus group.

Next Steps: • August 2024: o Information Packet to Council providing an update on Engagement Window 1. o COB and Design Team to finalize the site analysis and move into visioning and values studies under Planning Analysis Task 1, this task will incorporate all feedback, technical analysis and policy requirements to create an overall vision for the next phase of design • Q3: Engagement Window 2: o Share out Window 1 findings to the community and confirm what we heard o Plan for programming and space activation o Discuss park perception and acceptable park behaviors o Launch engagement events in late August through early October • Q1 2025: o Schematic Design Options 199 Diagram 6: Project Schedule – The graphic displays the project and engagement schedule through 2027. 200 2022 BPR Plan Implementation Update This item provides the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) with an update on the status of the goals and initiatives outlined in the 2022 BPR Plan. The intent is to answer board member questions from the April meeting as it relates to BPR priorities and about how decisions are made. Board members also asked questions at the June meeting related to BPR funding mechanisms, challenges, and opportunities. The 2022 BPR Plan was developed with significant community input on a broad range of topics and then recommended unanimously by the PRAB and Planning Board for City Council approval, and then unanimously approved by the City Council in August 2022. As such, it guides all of BPR’s work and investments and PRAB members will benefit from familiarity with the Strategic Plan as outlined in pages 89-98 of the plan. In approving the plan, the appointed boards and elected officials acknowledged these key policy shifts that would occur as the plan is implemented: • With no new funding, BPR and the community must reevaluate levels of service to identify community-supported reductions. • BPR will explore additional alternative funding sources to maintain existing levels of service: o Grants and philanthropy: One-time infusions of funding to support specific projects or programs o Additional tax subsidy o Seek ongoing source(s) of additional tax funding to support core services of the department o Prioritize Taking Care of What We Have and Community Health and Wellness o Explore and implement revenue generating opportunities including but not limited to: o Adults paying full cost recovery o Reexamining non-resident fees o Commercial uses in parks o Exploring other revenue generating entrepreneurial opportunities 201 Figure 1 below provides an overview of plan status. Overall, of the 72 initiatives outlined in the plan, 10 are categorized as “Built and Living It” which indicates a new system or process has been created and is being utilized. 49 are in progress with a broad number of those connected to BPR’s CAPRA work. By Q1 of next year and BPR completes accreditation materials, a significant number of initiatives will fall in the “built and living it” category. 18 initiatives, or 25%, are not yet started. By the end of the year, BPR will outline a 3-year workplan to ensure the plan is fully implemented by the end of 2027. Figure 1: 2022 BPR Plan Status July 2024 202 Community Health and Wellness Financial Sustainability Goal 1: Increase Non-Traditional Funding and Resources 1. Evaluate and pursue non-traditional funding sources like grants, philanthropy, and sponsorships 2.Define a transparent and streamlined process for receiving donations 3. Identify resources needed to develop and maintain non- traditional funding sources Status: In Progress Updates: •With the 2023 budget, BPR funded and hired a position focused on Volunteer Services and to focus on developing partnerships, seeking grants and donations and fostering philanthropy for one-time infusions of funding to support specific projects or programs. •In 2023, BPR finalized an “External Funding Strategy” that governs how the department can solicit and accept donations. This strategy also supports the partnership with PLAY, BPR’s philanthropic non-profit partner, and the recently updated MOU. The board will hear specifics on PLAY’s strategy and capital campaigns at the September meeting. Goal 2: CLOSE THE FUNDING GAP 1. Collaborate with the Central Budget Office on how tax revenues can be used to fund future capital projects 2. Identify services that can generate funds to support other programs Status: In Progress •The City Council priority “Long-Term Funding Strategy” work beginning in 2024 and continuing into 2025 and 2026 may result in community and council conversations about additional tax revenues. •The 2023 Fee Policy clarifies cost recovery expectations for all BPR services. Work in 2024 and 2025 will align fees with these expectations. Status in Progress Update •The development of Primos Park will address the most critical gap in BPR’s system (complete 2026). The Future of Recreation Centers project will explore neighborhood-level amenities and ensure those services are available at BPR facilities or through partnerships. Finally, the City-wide Strategic Plan also includes work to further implement 15-minute neighborhood centers. 203 Goal 3: Align Community Expectations with Available Resources for Parks, Facilities and Programs 1.Clearly communicate core services that can be provided with current level of stable funding, along with priorities in case additional funding is available. Status: In progress Update: Through the Recreation Program Plan and Maintenance Management Plan being developed, BPR is documenting all service levels and standards possible with current funding. 2. Increase the number of community members that have access to quality parks, facilities and services within a 15-minute walk. •In summary, BPR and the city have many efforts underway to align current spending with revenues and to identify additional revenue streams so that the community can continue to experience a high level of service from its local government. 204 1777 Broadway, Boulder CO 80302 | bouldercolorado.gov | O: 303 -441-3002 205 1777 Broadway, Boulder CO 80302 | bouldercolorado.gov | O: 303 -441-3002 206 1777 Broadway, Boulder CO 80302 | bouldercolorado.gov | O: 303 -441-3002 207 1777 Broadway, Boulder CO 80302 | bouldercolorado.gov | O: 303 -441-3002 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224
