Item 3A - Knollwood Metropolitan District Page 1
Packet Page 11 of 568
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2019, the city annexed just under 50 homes along the western border of the city in a
subdivision called Knollwood. At the time, the Knollwood Metropolitan District (the “District”)
served the residents of the subdivision by providing services such as water and street
maintenance. As part of the annexation process, the city and the District entered into an
intergovernmental agreement (the “Annexation IGA”) in which they agreed to dissolve the
District by transferring the provision of the District’s services to the city and to limit the powers
of the District following such transfer. The Annexation IGA states that the District shall be
dissolved for all purposes except paying financial obligations and outstanding bonds of the
District. The Annexation IGA also requires that upon such limited dissolution, the Boulder City
Council serve as the Board of Directors of the District until all financial obligations and bonds
are paid and the District can be finally dissolved. The purpose of this agenda item is for the City
Council to officially accept the appointment, by the Boulder District Court, to serve as Board of
Directors of the District, to adopt Bylaws for City Council’s operation as the Board, and, in
compliance with state law, designate a place where notice of the Board’s meetings will be
posted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Suggested Motion Language:
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following
motions:
Motion to adjourn as the Boulder City Council and convene as the Knollwood Metropolitan
District Board of Directors; and
Motion to:
(1) accept the Boulder County District Court’s order of appointment of the Boulder City
Council to serve as the Knollwood Metropolitan District Board of Directors;
(2) adopt the Bylaws of the Knollwood Metropolitan District; and
(3) designate, in addition to any other place where such notice may be posted, that notice
of any public meeting of the Board be posted on the bulletin board in the first-floor
lobby of the Penfield Tate II Municipal Building located at 1777 Broadway, Boulder,
Colorado 80302; and
Motion to adjourn as the Knollwood Metropolitan District Board of Directors and reconvene
as the Boulder City Council.
Item 3A - Knollwood Metropolitan District Page 2
Packet Page 12 of 568
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS
• Economic – The city strives to provide services to its residents, such as water and traffic
control. The city has already assumed water services and traffic control for the area of the
District. The remaining, limited purpose of the District is payment of District debt and
bonds. The outstanding debts will be paid through taxes (and potentially other charges)
imposed on property owners within the boundaries of the District. City agreements with
the District and a court order of the Boulder County District Court require that City
Council serve as the Board of Directors for the District until its remaining limited
purpose is fulfilled.
• Environmental – The environmental impact of the City Council becoming the District
Board and managing the limited District is negligible, if there is any such impact. The
District is currently managed by a board of directors that consists of property owners
within the District.
• Social – The city has already transitioned the provision of water and traffic control
services to the city. Taking over the management of the debt payments of the District will
permit the city to eventually extinguish the District and be the sole provider of water and
traffic services within the boundaries of the city.
OTHER IMPACTS
• Fiscal – The District was formed many years ago to provide services and finance such
services. Any outstanding financial obligations and debt of the District will be paid for by
property owners within the District. Following annexation, the City assumed street
maintenance responsibility and traffic enforcement within the area of the District
consistent with such maintenance and enforcement occurring in other areas of the city.
• Staff time – Processing of debt payments, preparation of a budget, and appropriating
funds for the District will be included in the normal staff work plans, and the Boulder
City Council, operating as the Board for the District, has the option to hire consultants to
assist with such work. Costs associated therewith would be costs of the District.
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL AGENDA COMMITTEE
None.
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
None.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK
None. Note that the dissolution of the District required an election by District electors. A vast
majority of District electors who voted in the dissolution election voted to dissolve the District.
Item 3A - Knollwood Metropolitan District Page 3
Packet Page 13 of 568
BACKGROUND
In 1965, the Knollwood Water District was formed to provide the properties within the District
with water services. In 2015, the Boulder District Court approved converting the water district to
a metropolitan district to provide additional services. The Board of County Commissioners of
Boulder County approved an Amended Statement of Purposes for the District in December of
2015, which added street improvements and safety protection through traffic and safety controls
and devices to the types of services and facilities to be provided by the District.
In 2019, the City of Boulder annexed 47 homes, known as the Knollwood Subdivisions, along
with the properties at 150 Green Rock Drive (which is not part of the District) and 2285
Knollwood Drive. The general location of the annexed Knollwood Subdivisions is provided on
the map below (Note that 150 Green Rock Drive is not part of the District.):
In the Annexation IGA the City Council and District agreed that the city would provide water
service and manage the public streets as part of Boulder’s municipal services. The parties
collaborated in the construction of water mains to connect the Knollwood properties to the city’s
water utility. The parties also agreed to limit the District’s services and, following connection to
the city’s water utility, to seek a court order dissolving the District, so that the District’s sole
remaining function would be payment of the District’s outstanding financial obligations and
bonds. The District has two outstanding financial obligations: (1) a $500,000 general obligation
loan that was issued in 2017 and matures on December 1, 2031, and (2) a $2,270,000 general
obligation loan that matures on December 1, 2039.
Item 3A - Knollwood Metropolitan District Page 4
Packet Page 14 of 568
Following annexation and connection to the city’s water system, the city now provides the
District’s properties with water services and manages the public streets as part of the Boulder
municipal systems, which were the essential services provided by the District, and the District
has proceeded with the District dissolution process. At a special council meeting on October 10,
2024, City Council approved the execution of another intergovernmental agreement, see
Attachment A to the October 10, 2024, special meeting packet linked above, setting forth the
agreed upon District dissolution process (“Dissolution IGA”) and the steps involved in the
transfer of management of the District from the current board of directors to the City Council.
State law establishes the dissolution process for metropolitan districts in C.R.S. §§ 32-1-701 to
710. This process requires an election by the District’s electors. An election was held on
February 4, 2025, and a majority of the voters approved the dissolution of the District (by a vote
of 36:2).
On March 13, 2025, the Boulder County District Court entered an order dissolving the District
for all purposes except payment of financial obligations and outstanding bonds of the District.
The court’s order can be found in Attachment A to this agenda item. Consistent with both state
law and the intergovernmental agreements between the District and the city, the Court also
ordered that City Council serve as the Board of Directors for the District. The Dissolution IGA
anticipates that the City Council will begin to act as the Board of the District within four weeks
after recording the court’s order of dissolution. With this appointment, each council member
becomes an Ex Officio Director of the District.
ANALYSIS
Now that the District Court has ordered the City Council to serve as the Board of the District,
staff recommend that the City Council consider adopting a motion to:
(1) accept the Boulder County District Court’s order of appointment of the Boulder City
Council to serve as the Knollwood Metropolitan District Board of Directors;
(2) adopt the Bylaws of the Knollwood Metropolitan District; and
(3) designate, in addition to any other place where such notice may be posted, that notice of
any public meeting of the Board be posted on the bulletin board in the first-floor lobby of
the Penfield Tate II Municipal Building located at 1777 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado
80302
Acceptance of Appointment to Serve as Board of the District
A motion to accept the court’s appointment of City Council will accept the court’s order and
accept the council’s obligations as set forth in the Annexation IGA to act as Board of Directors
for the District.
Item 3A - Knollwood Metropolitan District Page 5
Packet Page 15 of 568
Adoption of Bylaws of the Knollwood Metropolitan District
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Bylaws of the Knollwood Metropolitan District (the
“Bylaws”) which can be found in Attachment B to this agenda item. The Bylaws are intended to
regulate the council’s organization as the District’s Board and ensure compliance with a variety
of legal requirements associated with the organization and management of a metropolitan district
board. The Bylaws are also intended to help minimize the need for Board action by appointing
ex officio officers of the Board consistent with state law requirements. If the Bylaws are adopted,
the mayor will be ex officio chairperson and president of the Board and District, and the mayor
pro tem will be ex officio vice chairperson and treasurer. The Bylaws appoint an executive
director to have general supervision and administration of the District’s affairs and authority to
delegate his or her executive director powers. In the absence of another appointment, the Bylaws
appoint the city manager of the City of Boulder as executive director.
In addition to establishing officers and delegations for the management of the District’s affairs,
the Bylaws establish procedures for the meetings of the Board to meet applicable state law
requirements.
Finally, the Bylaws incorporate the budget process for the District. The budget process is also
regulated by state law. Adoption of an annual budget, appropriations, and setting a mill levy will
be the main tasks the council will have as the Board of the District, with the District’s sole
remaining purpose being the payment of outstanding financial obligations and bonds.
Some legal requirements when acting as the District Board may differ from those that apply to
council meetings and actions. For example, Board Directors are subject to the state’s conduct for
local government officials.
Designation of the Penfield Tate Bulleting Board as Place to Post Meeting Notices
Finally, to meet Colorado Open Meetings Law requirements, staff recommend that the City
Council designate the bulletin board in the first-floor lobby of the Penfield Tate II Municipal
Building located on the southwest corner of Broadway and Canyon as the place where notice of
any public meeting of the Board be posted.
NEXT STEPS
If the Bylaws are adopted, the city manager, as executive director, will further delegate the
management of the District to city staff and start managing the affairs of the District consistent
with the Bylaws.

ARTICLE I
AUTHORITY
Section 1.1. Authority. The Knollwood Metropolitan District (the “District”) is a quasi-
municipal corporation, and a political subdivision of the state of Colorado organized and
operating pursuant to Article 1 of Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the “Act”).
Section 1.2. History. The District was formed in 1965 as Knollwood Water District to provide
the District’s residents with water services and was converted to a metropolitan district in 2015
to also provide street improvements and traffic and safety controls. As provided in the Amended
Statement of Purposes dated October 9, 2015, the conversion was approved by the Boulder
District Court on December 17, 2015, in Case No. 1965CV018489. On October 3, 2019, the
properties within the District were annexed to the city of Boulder pursuant to Ordinance 8348.
As a requirement of annexation, the owners of the District properties had to use their best efforts
to obtain a court order, pursuant to Section § 32-1-101, C.R.S., dissolving the District to
assimilate services of the area with the city. In addition, the District and the City of Boulder
entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Annexation and Transition of Municipal
Services dated April 15, 2019, pursuant to which the city agreed to construct, and the District
finance, certain water and street improvements to enable the city to provide water for domestic
purposes to the properties within the District as well as street and traffic services. Following the
construction of these improvements, the city commenced water utility service and street and
traffic services to the properties within the District and the District initiated dissolution
proceedings pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 32-1-701 to 710, for all purposes except as necessary to
adequately provide for the repayment of the District’s financial obligations and debt. On
February 4, 2025, District electors voted to dissolve the District at a special election. Following
the election, the Boulder County District Court ordered on March 13, 2025, the limited
dissolution of the District and that the City Council for the City of Boulder (“City Council”)
serve as the Board of Directors for the District.
Section 1.3. Limited Purpose. The District is a metropolitan district pursuant to the
provisions of C.R.S. § 32-1-101 et seq., as amended, with the limited purposes of payment of
financial obligations and outstanding bonds.
Section 1.4. Office. The principal office of the District shall be located in the city of Boulder,
Colorado. The Board may at any time and from time to time change the location of its principal
office. The current principal office address is 1777 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80302.

file a corporate fidelity bond in the amount of not less than $5,000, conditioned on the faithful
performance of the duties of the Treasurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instead of providing
these bonds, the District may obtain crime insurance for its Directors and Officers to protect the
District from any dishonesty, theft, or fraud by the person, pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-14-102. Such
insurance must be purchased from an insurance provider licensed in the state of Colorado and
evidence thereof provided to the Clerk of the District Court.
Section 2.3. Compensation. No Director may be compensated for serving in the capacity of a
Director of the Board; except that they are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2025
AGENDA TITLE
Consideration of a motion to accept the March 13, 2025, study session summary
regarding the City Council Process Working Group.
PRESENTERS
Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde, City Manager
Pam Davis, Assistant City Manager
Teresa Taylor Tate, City Attorney
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Council Process Improvement Group determined a list of 15 process improvement priorities
for staff and council consideration and potential implementation. Several of these items required
immediate full body direction before staff could move forward. For this agenda item, city staff
provided background on the operation of the City Council Process Working Group, described six
process improvement items that required full council direction, and sought direction on those
items.
ANALYSIS
Council provided the following comments and direction on the six process improvement items
before them on March 13th.
1. Mayor Pro Tem Elections
Council discussion on this item centered on whether to formalize longstanding, unwritten
criteria by which council members elect the Mayor Pro Tem (MPT) in council procedure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following
motion: Motion to accept the March 13, 2025, study session summary regarding the City
Council Process Working Group
Item 3B - Motion to accept 3/13/25 Study Session
Summary re: Council Process Working Group
1
Packet Page 36 of 568
A majority of council members indicated support for a proposal by Council Member
Speer to formalize these criteria with the intention of making MPT elections fairer and
more predictable. Council Member Speer’s proposal, as submitted via Hotline prior to the
meeting, is outlined below:
1. The starting point is that the MPT is the longest-serving Councilmember who has
not yet served as MPT and is willing to serve as MPT.
2. If more than one member of Council meets the criteria in (1), those
Councilmembers should send an email via Hotline expressing their interest in
being entered into a random selection process at least one week before the MPT
selection meeting.
3. At the MPT selection meeting, a random selection process chooses the MPT (e.g.,
the process used to randomly select open comment speakers when >20 people
sign up).
4. In a case where the longest-serving Councilmember(s) who haven't yet served as
MPT do not wish to be MPT, there are two possible scenarios:
a. There is at least one Councilmember who qualifies as the next-longest-
serving Councilmember, hasn't yet served as MPT, and is willing to serve
as MPT. In this case, restart the process at (1) with that/those
Councilmember/s.
b. Every Councilmember who is willing to serve as MPT has served one
term as MPT and is willing to serve a second term. In this case, any
Councilmembers who have not yet served two terms as MPT and are
willing to serve as MPT would proceed to steps (2) and (3). Should a
scenario ever arise where every Councilmember who is willing to serve as
MPT has already served two terms, the same process could apply in
moving people to third or more terms.
While a majority of council members indicated support for exploring the above proposal,
several members expressed concern over whether the individual selected by a
randomized process would ultimately possess the facilitation and organizational skills
that would make them the most qualified council member for the role. Additionally,
concern was expressed about the use of tenure as one criterion by which the MPT would
qualify for random selection.
Staff next steps: The City Attorney’s Office will draft a new process for MPT elections
using the above outline as a guide, and council will be asked to evaluate and vote on the
new process at a future meeting.
2. Landmark Reviews
Council members discussed whether to consider process changes that would result in
landmark reviews taking less council time at regular meetings. Ultimately, council did
Item 3B - Motion to accept 3/13/25 Study Session
Summary re: Council Process Working Group
2
Packet Page 37 of 568
not express interest in reducing the number of items that currently require council review.
Some council members expressed support for staff to explore changes to historic
preservation processes, as anticipated to be a result of the update to the Historic
Preservation Plan scheduled to occur later this year.
Staff next steps: None at this time.
3. Council Employee Performance Reviews
Council was asked to consider whether to formalize a process that ensures all nine
council members evaluate each of the three council employees during the annual
employee review process. The conversation centered around how to enforce any such
process given council’s status as a self-regulating body.
Three primary themes emerged from the discussion:
1. Some council members shared that they would benefit from better getting to know the
three council employees so that they feel more comfortable providing accurate and
comprehensive performance reviews.
2. While council did not seem interested in formalizing mandatory participation in
performance reviews in council procedure, several members supported the idea of
sharing the names of council members who do not complete reviews publicly at
council meetings.
3. Several members of council expressed interest in using executive session to conduct
performance reviews. Because this was not on the table for discussion at the March
13th study session as part of this item, pursuing this idea would require further full
council discussion.
Council next steps: The Council Employee Evaluation Committee (CEEC) will consider
the above themes and discuss ways to facilitate and encourage council member and
employee interaction. They will discuss different options for encouraging participation in
employee performance reviews and will bring them back to council for consideration at a
future meeting.
4. Use of Community Member Email Addresses
Council defined the crux of this issue as the practice of collecting email addresses in
one’s official capacity as a council member and adding them, without the consent of the
address holder, to personal or campaign-related newsletters. A majority of council
members expressed interest in codifying a policy that formally prohibits this behavior.
Importantly, council members distinguished inappropriately adding email addresses to
newsletter campaigns from communicating with community members one-on-one to
discuss issues of mutual concern and build trust between government and community.
Item 3B - Motion to accept 3/13/25 Study Session
Summary re: Council Process Working Group
3
Packet Page 38 of 568
Staff next steps: The City Attorney’s Office will draft rules prohibiting council members
from adding email addresses gained in their official capacity as elected officials to
personal or campaign-related newsletters without the consent of the address holder.
Council will consider this change to procedure at a future meeting.
5.Opportunities for Council Members to share ceremonial responsibilities and cover
CAC absences
Current council procedure outlines that the mayor shall, when possible, share ceremonial
responsibilities among council members. It similarly outlines a process for appointing
council members to vacant Council Agenda Committee (CAC) seats when members of
the committee are absent. Council procedure does not currently define a role for city staff
in administering the sharing of ceremonial and other responsibilities among council
members. Council discussed whether to formalize a different process by which the mayor
might share these responsibilities and whether staff would be responsible for
administering a new process.
Generally, council members did not indicate interest in administering a new process due
to timing and other logistical constraints, with the exception of a small language change
to revise “whenever possible” to “when the mayor is unavailable, the mayor shall…” in
council procedure.
Even though council did not support developing and administering a new formal process,
the mayor and council members discussed the following requests of one another:
The Mayor asked council members to share the types of speaking events they
would be interested in covering so that he has a better understanding of which
opportunities to delegate and to whom.
Council members seemed interested in learning more about when and where the
mayor is speaking on behalf of the city.
Council members supported using an uncodified process to provide structure to
appointments for CAC absences. Several people suggested setting deadlines by
which council members share their interest in filling in on CAC before the mayor
appoints a substitute to avoid a “first come first served” approach when absences
are known at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
Staff next steps: The City Attorney’s Office will draft the suggested changes to the
council procedure. Staff will pursue options to support the informal process of providing
a deadline for council members to express interest in serving as CAC substitute before
the mayor appoints the substitute.
6. Declarations
Item 3B - Motion to accept 3/13/25 Study Session
Summary re: Council Process Working Group
4
Packet Page 39 of 568
The majority of council supported a comprehensive staff review and redesign of the
council declaration process for council review at a future meeting.
In the interim while staff are reviewing and drafting proposed revisions for council
consideration, council members supported the following:
Proceed with reading declarations that have been recently scheduled by CAC.
This includes March and April, 2025, declarations as well as the currently
unscheduled Declaration Condemning Anti-Muslim Hate.
Staff will provide CAC with a list of declarations that community members
expect council to read aloud based on prior years’ experience. CAC will evaluate
the list and determine which declarations to read aloud and which to convert to
issue only.
Assume, until council adopts a redesigned declaration process, that all declaration
requests approved by the Mayor are to be issued only, not read aloud, unless a
scheduling request is made and CAC determines that a declaration should be read
aloud.
Staff next steps: Staff will work on a comprehensive evaluation and redesign of the
declaration process for council review at a future meeting. Given staff capacity
constraints, this work may not be completed until Q3 2025.
NEXT STEPS
Next steps for staff and council related to each of the six items above are described in the
analysis section. Staff will continue working on the remaining process improvements
recommended for consideration by the City Council Process Working Group that council did not
consider at its March 13th Study Session.

AGENDA TITLE
Consideration of a motion to authorize the city manager to enter into an access and parking
easement agreement conveying an access easement to the Housing Authority of the City of
Boulder, the owner of a property generally located at 951 Arapahoe Avenue, over the city-
owned Senior Center property at 909 Arapahoe Avenue in exchange for access and parking

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to Section 2-2-8, “Conveyance of City Real Property Interests,” B.R.C. 1981, City
Council approval is required for conveyance of any interest in any city real property.
The purpose of this memo is for council’s consideration of a motion to authorize the execution of
an access and parking easement agreement (“Agreement”) which is attached as Attachment A to
this memorandum. The Agreement would grant an access easement to the Housing Authority of
the City of Boulder, d/b/a Boulder Housing Partners (“BHP”), the owner of the property known
generally as Arapahoe Court at 951 Arapahoe Avenue (“Arapahoe Court”) over the city-owned
senior center property at 909 Arapahoe Avenue (“Senior Center Property”). The Senior Center
is also known as the West Age Well Center. Access would be granted through the Senior Center
parking lot to the parking spaces on the northern side of Arapahoe Court. In the Agreement,
BHP would also grant the city easements to access the west side of the City of Boulder library
property (“Library Property”) at 1011 Arapahoe Avenue and rights to use five of the Arapahoe
Item 3C - 951 Arapahoe Access and Parking Easement 1
Packet Page 43 of 568
Court parking spaces. The Agreement would formalize an informal shared access and parking
arrangement that has existed for many years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS
Economic – The granting of an access easement to BHP will make Arapahoe Court a
marketable property. Arapahoe Court does not currently have any other way to access the
parking spaces on its property. The easement will also allow the city to continue to use
the Arapahoe Court property for access, delivery and maintenance purposes associated
with the Senior Center Property and Library Property as well as use of five parking
spaces on the Arapahoe Court property.
Environmental – No environmental impacts are anticipated from the Agreement. The
access and parking arrangement that is being formalized has existed for many years. The
Agreement does not involve any physical change to the properties involved.
Social – Formalizing an agreement for the Senior Center’s use of the parking spaces
provides direct access for older adults who would otherwise be unable to access the
center if they had to park further away.
OTHER IMPACTS
Fiscal – No budgetary impacts to the city organization are anticipated.
Staff time – This work was performed as part of the normal work plan for the Facilities
and Fleet division.
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL AGENDA COMMITTEE
None.
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
None.

PUBLIC FEEDBACK
None.
BACKGROUND
The Arapahoe Court property is located between the Boulder public library and the city’s Senior
Center Property. Arapahoe Court was built in the early 1950s and became one of BHP’s first
properties in the 1970s. Until recently, BHP operated Arapahoe Court as public housing for
people who are disabled or are over 62 years old with limited income. The property is in need of
renovations. BHP had planned to invest in the property and perform major renovations;
however, its location in the 100-year floodplain disqualifies it from being renovated with HUD
funding. Considering these constraints, BHP has determined that it is in its best interest to
dispose of the Arapahoe Court asset and use the proceeds of the sale to build additional
affordable housing elsewhere. Figure 1 shows the current development of the Senior Center
Property, Arapahoe Court, and the Library Property. The properties have been developed in the
current configuration and have shared access drives for many decades. The shared use has never
been formalized through written easements or other agreements.
Figure 1 – Map of Senior Center Property, BHP Arapahoe Court, and Library Property
BHP is planning to sell Arapahoe Court. Currently, Arapahoe Court’s parking spaces are
accessible only through the Senior Center parking lot. To render Arapahoe Court marketable,
BHP desires to formalize the previously informal access arrangement through the granting of an
easement. The proposed Agreement would also secure the city’s use of five Arapahoe Court
parking spaces to provide parking for visitors to the Senior Center Property and access to the
west side of the Library Property through the BHP Property as currently developed and used.

Packet Page 45 of 568
ANALYSIS
Access easement for the benefit of BHP’s 951-953 Arapahoe Avenue property (Arapahoe
Court)
If approved, the city would grant BHP an access easement from Arapahoe Avenue over the
Senior Center Property to Arapahoe Court. Arapahoe Court is currently developed such that the
only access to the Arapahoe Court parking area is through the Senior Center Property. However,
no easement has been expressly granted for such access. The access and parking easement
agreement would grant such easement securing access through the Senior Center Property. The
easement would allow for access through established drives on the Senior Center Property that
the City may from time to time relocate. The BHP access easement will automatically
extinguish if Arapahoe Court is redeveloped in a manner that would reasonably allow for direct
vehicular access to be created to the existing parking area on Arapahoe Court or a differently
designed parking area. The easement runs with the land and would benefit future owners of
Arapahoe Court.
Access easements and parking easement to the benefit of the city
The proposed access and parking easement agreement would also grant access and parking rights
over the Arapahoe Court property to the city. Pursuant to an informal arrangement, the users of
the Senior Center have for many years been able to use several Arapahoe Court parking spaces.
In addition, the city uses the current access drive across the Arapahoe Court property for
deliveries and to access and service a sewage facility on the Library Property. This access
through Arapahoe Court is currently the only feasible access to service the sewage facility of the
Library Property. The current access drive partially crosses the Arapahoe Court property. In
exchange for the access rights over the Senior Center drives, BHP would grant to the city access
easements and a parking easement for use of 5 Arapahoe Court parking spaces by Senior Center
users.
The city easements will automatically terminate upon occurrence of certain situations, including,
for the access easement, redevelopment allowing for unobstructed use of a 14-foot alley
connecting the Senior Center Property to the Library Property. The parking easement will
automatically terminate upon significant redevelopment of Arapahoe Court or change of use,
sale, or significant redevelopment of the Senior Center Property. The city’s parking needs in this
area are associated specifically with the Senior Center use and the parking needs of the less
mobile population that visits the Senior Center. The parking spaces subject to the city parking
easement and the city access easement are depicted in Figure 2.
Item 3C - 951 Arapahoe Access and Parking Easement 4
Packet Page 46 of 568
Figure 2 – Map of city parking spaces and city access easement
The easements may also be amended by mutual agreement of the parties. In light of the parcel
pattern in the area and interrelated current development, it is likely that the city and any future
property owner of Arapahoe Court will seek conversations with each other when planning
redevelopment of their properties to discuss future access and parking design and arrangements.
Staff recommends that city council approve the motion authorizing execution of the Agreement.
NEXT STEPS
If city council approves execution of the Agreement, the next step would be execution of the
Agreement by BHP and the city manager, followed by recording of the Agreement

AGENDA TITLE
Consideration of a motion to approve the conveyance of a perpetual non-exclusive
easement to the Mountain View Fire Protection District for the installation and operation
of an onsite wastewater treatment system and authorize the city manager to enter into and
execute said easement.
PRESENTER(S)
Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde, City Manager
Joe Taddeucci, Director of Utilities
Chris Douville, Deputy Director of Utilities
Kim Hutton, Water Resources Senior Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council consideration is requested concerning conveyance of a 0.56-acre perpetual non-
exclusive easement to Mountain View Fire Protection District (MVFPD) for the installation and
operation of an onsite wastewater treatment system within a portion of the City-owned Utilities
property shown on Attachment A (Utilities Property). MVFPD would like to modify their
existing septic system, which treats wastewater from the Flagstaff Station 10 fire station, to
reduce operational costs. The modification includes building a leachfield to treat the liquid
component of the fire station’s wastewater. MVFPD’s property is not large enough to construct a
leachfield. Therefore, MVFPD is requesting an easement to install and operate the system on
Utilities Property. The Utilities Property is 107.4 acres and grant of an easement of 0.56 acres to
MVFPD will not interfere with the municipal source water operations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following
motion:
Motion to approve the conveyance of a perpetual non-exclusive easement to the
Mountain View Fire Protection District for the installation and operation of an onsite
wastewater treatment system and authorize the city manager to enter into and execute
said easement.
Item 3D - Mountain View Fire Protection District Easement Page 1
Packet Page 59 of 568
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS
•Economic – If approved, Mountain View Fire Protection District (MVFPD) will bear all
costs related to installation, operation, and maintenance of the onsite wastewater
treatment system and no economic impacts to the city are anticipated.
•Environmental – If approved, MVFPD will build a new onsite wastewater treatment
system for Flagstaff Station 10. A properly sized onsite wastewater treatment system will
protect public health and water quality; eliminate and control causes of disease, infection,
and aerosol contamination; and reduce and control pollution of the air, land, and water.
Additionally, reduced waste hauling will result.
•Social – MVFPD Flagstaff Station 10 provides fire protection services to the Flagstaff
Community as well as parts of unincorporated Boulder County, including City of Boulder
municipal source water infrastructure.
OTHER IMPACTS
•Fiscal– MVFPD will compensate the city $9,000.00 for the perpetual, non-exclusive
easement based on comparable market land values which will be deposited in the Water
Enterprise Fund for use towards water utility operational needs.
•Staff time– Staff time towards this project is included in the 2025 work plan.

BACKGROUND
The City of Boulder owns a parcel of land (approximately 107.4 acres) at 5682 Flagstaff Rd
(Attachment A). The parcel was purchased by the Water Enterprise Fund and is managed by the
Utilities Department for municipal source water operations. Source water facilities, including a
pipeline (Boulder Canyon Penstock) and a valve house are located on the eastern portion of the
parcel. The Boulder Canyon Penstock conveys source water from Kossler Reservoir to Boulder
Canyon Hydroelectric Facility and Betasso Water Treatment Plant. MVFPD owns the parcel of
land (approximately 0.4 acres) immediately south of the city parcel at 5748 Flagstaff Rd
(MVFPD Property) as described and depicted in Attachment B. MVFPD’s Flagstaff Station 10
is located on the MVFPD Property. Flagstaff Station 10 provides fire protection services to the
Flagstaff Community as well as parts of unincorporated Boulder County, including City of
Boulder municipal source water infrastructure. Flagstaff Station 10 accommodates a 24/7 crew.
The City of Boulder has enjoyed a decades-long partnership with Flagstaff Station 10, with the
fire crews using Utilities land for training purposes and Utilities property benefitting from tree
maintenance and wildfire mitigation services.
Item 3D - Mountain View Fire Protection District Easement Page 2
Packet Page 60 of 568
MVFPD currently uses a septic system in which wastewater from Flagstaff Station 10 is stored
in a vault on MVFPD Property and pumped and hauled offsite every 21 days. Due to the great
expense associated with pumping and hauling, MVFPD would like to modify their wastewater
management system to reduce operating costs by constructing a leachfield to treat the liquid
waste, while the smaller portion of solid waste would still be stored in a vault and pumped and
hauled off site for disposal. MVFPD does not have adequate space on its property to construct
the leachfield, so they approached the city about constructing the leachfield on the adjacent
Utilities Property. A consultant for MVFPD conducted a soil survey on the Utilities Property and
determined the soil properties are appropriate for siting a leachfield and meeting Boulder County
Public Health’s Onsite Wastewater Treatment System regulations.
MVFPD is seeking an easement from the City of Boulder to construct, operate, access and
maintain the leachfield component of an onsite wastewater treatment system on 0.56 acres of
Utilities Property, as depicted on Attachment A and described on Attachment C. Operation and
maintenance of an onsite wastewater treatment system in compliance with Boulder County
Onsite Wastewater Treatment System regulations will be protective of public health and water
quality. If the system is not in compliance with Boulder County regulations, the City of Boulder
can require MVFPD to abandon or remove the leachfield from Utilities Property and relinquish
the easement. MVFPD will compensate the City of Boulder $9,000 for the easement, an amount
based on comparable market land values. If the city does not grant the easement, MVFPD will
continue to operate the existing septic system at great expense.
ANALYSIS
City Council’s options are to either approve the conveyance of a perpetual non-exclusive
easement to MVFPD for the installation and operation of an onsite wastewater treatment system
and authorize the city manager to enter into and execute said easement, or to not approve, in
which case MVFPD will continue existing operations.
Because the installation and operation of an onsite wastewater treatment system on Utilities
Property will not interfere with Utilities’ operations; construction, maintenance and operation of
the system in accordance with terms and conditions of a Boulder County permit will be
protective of Utilities Property and resources; and the easement will include provisions for
reversion and termination if the onsite wastewater treatment system is abandoned, staff
recommend that City Council approve the conveyance of the easement and authorize the city
manager to execute the easement.
NEXT STEPS
If this request is approved, Utilities staff will work with City Manager’s Office and City
Attorney’s Office to execute the perpetual non-exclusive easement in substantially the same form
as shown in Attachment D.

AGENDA TITLE
Consideration of a motion to authorize the city manager to enter into an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Boulder County to allow for the city to assume
ownership and maintenance of 2043 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO, known as Arbor House.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2043 Pearl Street (Arbor House) is currently owned by Tribe Recovery, Inc. and is used for non-
residential mental and behavioral services. Boulder County will be purchasing the property and
would like to transfer ownership to the City of Boulder. The Intergovernmental Agreement
establishes role and responsibilities for all parties, with the City of Boulder taking over
ownership and maintenance of the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS
•Economic – Management of both the Arbor House and adjacent residential treatment
home promotes a diverse and sustainable economy that supports needs of all segments of
the community. This action also supports the continued city and county partnership for
Project Recovery.
•Environmental – People experiencing unsheltered homelessness have negative impacts
on the environment. Behavioral health treatment prevents unsheltered homelessness for
these individuals.
Suggested Motion Language:
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following
motion: Motion to authorize the city manager to enter into an Intergovernmental
Agreement with Boulder County to allow for the city to assume ownership and
maintenance of 2043 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO, known as Arbor House
Item 3E: Consideration of a motion to authorize the City Manager to
enter into an IGA with Boulder County to allow for the city to assume
ownership and maintenance of Arbor House.
Page 1
Packet Page 77 of 568
•Social – People experiencing homelessness, or those exiting institutions at risk of
unsheltered homelessness, who have significant substance use disorders, require housing
and essential treatment resources to stabilize.
OTHER IMPACTS
•Fiscal – The county does not require funding for transfer of ownership; however, this
Intergovernmental Agreement protects the city’s initial investment of $300,000 in the
property and the city’s investment in the adjacent property. Funding for future
maintenance and repair issues would be covered through the General Fund.
•Staff time – Staff time investment would be part of the normal work plan.

BACKGROUND
Arbor House, 2043 Pearl Street, is currently owned by Tribe Recovery Homes, Inc., a Colorado
nonprofit providing outpatient addiction recovery therapeutic services on the Property in
conjunction with a sober living home at 2041 Pearl Street. The city owns the 2041 Pearl Street
property and leases it to Tribe Recovery. In 2023, the city and the county each contributed
$300,000 to Tribe for the purchase of Arbor House. The cost of owning this property for Tribe
Recovery Homes has diverted resources for needed programs expenses to their mortgage and has
become unsustainable. To protect the investment, the county has agreed to utilize American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to purchase the property. Using the grant to purchase the
property means that the property must be used for behavioral health services and any subsequent
change in use or disposition of the property must comply with Treasury Department rules and
federal regulations on federal awards, including but not limited to 2 CFR 200.311. However, the
county does not wish to own the property or to incur the maintenance and management liabilities
that come with the property. The property would then be owned by the City and leased to Tribe
Recovery Homes in the same approach of the neighboring home at $1 per year and they would
be required to cover maintenance of the facility.
ANALYSIS
Project Recovery provides a unique service within the continuum of services provided to the
city’s unhoused individuals. To that end, the city purchased the sober living home on the
adjacent property. The two properties function separately but are intertwined. Maintaining
ownership allows the city to ensure that critical supportive treatment services continue to be
provided to benefit the residents of the city and specifically the residents of the sober living
property.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BOULDER COUNTY AND THE CITY OF
BOULDER REGARDING REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2043 PEARL STREET
THIS INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (“IGA”) is made effective the ____ date of
________, 2025, by and between the COUNTY OF BOULDER, a body corporate and politic (the
“County”), and the CITY OF BOULDER, a Colorado home rule municipality (the “City”).
County and City are each a “Party,” and collectively the “Parties.”
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this IGA, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
RECITALS
A.Colorado Constitution Article XIV, Section 18(2), C.R.S. §§ 29-1-201, et seq., and
C.R.S. § 30-11-410, provide that political subdivisions of the State may contract with
one another to provide any function, service, or facility lawfully authorized to each of
the cooperating units.
B. A building located at 2043 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO, known as Arbor House, is owned
by Tribe Recovery Homes, Inc. (“Tribe”), a Colorado nonprofit providing outpatient
addiction recovery therapeutic services in conjunction with a sober living home at
2041 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO, known as Mother House, which Tribe leases from the
City.
C.In 2023, the City and the County each provided Tribe $300,000 that Tribe used
towards the purchase of Arbor House (also referred to herein as the “Property”), with
each government entering into respective funding agreements with Tribe. Tribe
financed the remainder of the purchase with a mortgage currently serviced by
FirstBank.
D.Tribe desires to sell Arbor House and the City desires to own Arbor House so that
behavioral health services will continue to be offered at that location; however, the
City does not have sufficient funds to purchase the Property and has requested the
County to assist in acquiring it.
E.The County has secured a grant from the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration
(“BHA”), which the BHA funds using federal ARPA money and distributes in
compliance with Colorado Senate Bill 22-196, which established early intervention,
deflection, and redirection from the criminal justice system for the people with
behavioral health needs. BHA distributes these grants to fund programs and
strategies that prevent people with behavioral health disorders from becoming
Item 3E: Consideration of a motion to authorize the City Manager to
enter into an IGA with Boulder County to allow for the city to assume
ownership and maintenance of Arbor House.
Page 3
Attachment A – Intergovernmental Agreement
Packet Page 79 of 568
Page 2 of 10
involved with the criminal justice system and redirects such individuals from that
system to appropriate community-based treatment and support services.
F.To assist the City in ensuring the continuation of behavioral health services on the
Property, the County will use a portion of the grant money to purchase Arbor House.
However, the County does not want the responsibilities that come with owning the
Property. Therefore, this IGA establishes the terms under which the City will assume
all responsibility for the Property while it is under County ownership. Furthermore,
this IGA establishes the terms under which the County will convey the Property in fee
to the City.
G.Whether the County or the City owns the Property, the City will use it consistent with
its current purpose of providing services to divert and deflect individuals with
behavioral health needs away from the criminal justice system and into appropriate
treatment.
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this IGA, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Mutual Intent and Contingent Approval.
a. It is the mutual intent of the Parties for the County to purchase the Property
and to convey it to the City in fee in return for the City continuing to support
behavioral health services on the Property.
b.The Parties recognize, however, that conveyance from the County to the City
is subject to approval from BHA as the grant issuer and that BHA may not
provide its approval until after the period of performance of the Grant
Agreement (defined below). As of the effective date of this IGA, the end date
of the period of performance is June 30, 2025, and BHA has indicated it may
extend the period of performance until June 30, 2026, or a different date as it
determines appropriate. Any change to the period of performance will require
an amendment to the Grant Agreement between BHA and the County.
2.Legal Description of the Property. The legal description of the Property is:

promptly execute and deliver to the County or any third party the County
directs such instruments as may be reasonably necessary to terminate or
release the promissory note and deed of trust with respect to the Property. If

with no further action necessary on the part of Tribe, the City, or the County.

8.Conveyance from County to City.

and be binding on the City’s successors and assigns.
b.In the event the conveyance to the City is closed, the City will execute a
promissory note and provide it to the County, and a deed of trust will be

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The subject application is to redevelop a site located at 1855 S. Flatiron Court, under case
no. LUR2024-00036, with three new Research and Development buildings. The Site
Review application was initially brought to Planning Board on January 21, 2025 where it
was continued on February 4, 2025 and February 18, 2025.
The Site Review application and associated ordinance was scheduled for City Council
call-up consideration on March 20, 2025. City Council called up the item, and Ordinance
8685 requires City Council approval for consideration of the companion vested rights
request. The public hearing for the Site Review application and second reading for the
vested rights request is scheduled for May 1, 2025. The ordinance can be reviewed in
Attachment A.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
Planning Board
Planning Board reviewed the ordinance as part of a Site Review application on January
21, 2025 where it was continued on February 4, 2025 and February 18, 2025. At the
continued hearing on February 18, 2025, Planning Board voted 3-3 (M. Roberts absent)
on a motion to recommend the vested rights to City Council. The motion did not receive
an affirmative vote of four, and the motion failed. Therefore, the board neither
recommended approval nor denial of the vested rights to City Council, as described in the
Procedural Rules of the Planning Board.
For a full summary of the Planning Board process and feedback on the Site Review application,
refer to the March 20, 2025 City Council agenda and call-up memo.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK
Consistent with Section 9-4-3, “Public Notice Requirements,” B.R.C. 1981, staff
provided notification to all property owners within 600 feet of the subject location of the
application, and signs have been posted by the applicant. Staff did not receive comments
during the application review process. One member of the public spoke during the public
comment period at the Planning Board hearing for the Site Review application.
BACKGROUND
This memorandum is only for City Council to review the request to establish Vested
Rights greater than three years for a total of 9 years. A separate memorandum will be
prepared for the Site Review call-up, which is scheduled for a City Council Public
Hearing on May 1, 2025 concurrently with the 2nd Reading for the Vested Rights
request. Details on the Site Review proposal can be found at the Planning Board January
21, 2025 archives.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE 8685
Approval of Ordinance 8685 would permit granting a 9-year vesting period for the
approved site-specific development plan. The applicant has proposed a 9-year
construction period for the project, which is allowable through the Site Review process.
To protect property owners from future zoning or land use actions that would delay, alter,
diminish or otherwise impact an approved development during that time period, the
applicant is seeking vested rights for the approval that last for 9 years.
Colorado’s Vested Property Rights Act, C.R.S. 24-68-101, et seq., (the “Act”) allows for
the creation of vested property rights the applicant is seeking. The Act defines “vested

property right” as the “right to undertake and complete the development and use of
property under the terms and conditions of a site-specific development. Approved site
review plans are “site specific development plans.” Once a statutory vested right is
established, a local government is precluded from taking any zoning or land use action
that would alter, impair, diminish, or delay the development of the property consistent
with the approved plans. Generally, statutory vested property rights have a duration of
three years from the date of approval. Any longer time period has to be included in the
development agreement and approved by ordinance of the City Council. Section 9-2-20,
“Creation of Vested Rights,” B.R.C. 1981. Approval of a vesting period longer than three
years in Council’s legislative discretion. The applicant is seeking vested rights for 9
years to be protected through the anticipated construction period.
ANALYSIS
The decision of council on the ordinance would be based on the project’s consistency
with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (“BVCP”) policies related to Light
Industrial Areas (BVCP Policy 1.11) and Revitalizing Commercial & Industrial Areas
(BVCP Policy 5.01) among the other relevant BVCP policies as discussed below.
Request for Vested Rights greater than three years and extension of demolition
permits
Staff finds the proposed request for vested rights reasonable and appropriate given the
scope of work and considering the BVCP goals achieved by this project and is
recommending approval of the vested rights request.
CONCLUSION
As stated above, staff finds that the proposed ordinance allows a project that
accomplishes many objectives of the BVCP and is consistent with these most relevant
BVCP policies as summarized below:
2.21 Light Industrial Areas: The proposed ordinance would be consistent the
following objective as stated in Policy 2.21: “The city will encourage
redevelopment and infill to contribute to placemaking and better achieve
sustainable urban form as defined in this chapter”
5.01 Revitalizing Commercial & Industrial Areas: The proposed ordinance
would be consistent with the objective to incentivize business retention and
revitalization, as stated in Policy 5.01: “The city supports strategies unique to
specific places for the redevelopment of commercial and industrial areas.
Revitalization should support and enhance these areas, conserve their strengths,
minimize displacement of users and reflect their unique characteristics and
amenities and those of nearby neighborhoods. Examples of commercial and
industrial areas for revitalization identified in previous planning efforts are
Diagonal Plaza, University Hill commercial district, Gunbarrel and the East
Boulder industrial area.”
Item 3F - 1st Rdg Ord 8685 1855 S. Flatiron Ct. Vested Rights Page 3
Packet Page 92 of 568
5.02 Regional Job Center: The proposed ordinance would be consistent the
following objective as stated in Policy 5.02: “The city supports strategies that
recognize Boulder’s continued role as a regional job center, consistent with
economic sustainability goals and projected employment growth.”
5.07 Industry Clusters: The proposed ordinance would be consistent with the
objective to incentivize a diverse economic base and incentivize business as stated
in Policy 5.07 “The city will support an industry cluster approach to business
development. This approach involves a focus on supporting multiple businesses in
an industry and considering special financial and technical assistance programs
and other tools to retain, expand and attract businesses in those clusters.
Boulder’s key industry clusters include aerospace, bioscience, clean tech, data
storage, digital media, natural and organic products, recreation, software,
tourism and the creative sector.”

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Suggested Motion Language:
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the
following motion:
Motion to introduce and order published by title only Ordinance 8694, amending
Sections 4-20-43, “Development Application Fees,” 8-6-6.5, “Small Cell Facilities in
the Public Right-of-Way Permits,” 9-6-4, “Specific Use Standards – Public and
Institutional Uses,” and 9-16-1, “Definitions,” B.R.C. 1981, to align city code with
federal law regarding local government permitting of wireless telecommunications
facilities; and setting forth related details.
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
Planning Board – Ordinances changing the Land Use Code require Planning Board
recommendation to City Council. On April 1, 2025, Planning Board reviewed Ordinance
8650 and unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance to City Council with the
following motion:
L. Kaplan made a motion seconded by M. Roberts to recommend that City
Council adopt the proposed ordinance, amending Title 4, Chapter 20, “Fees,”
Title 8, Chapter 6, “Public Right-of-way and Easement Encroachments,
Revocable Permits, Leases and Vacations, Title 9, Chapter 6 “Use Standards,”
and Title 9, Chapter 16, “Definitions,” B.R.C. 1981, to amend the standards for
wireless communications facilities and small cell facilities, and setting forth
related details. The planning board voted 6-0. Motion passed. J. Boone absent.
Planning Board also had questions about design, separation, and height requirements,
which is established in existing code and is not proposed to change with this ordinance.
The board also had questions about the definitions of Telecommunications provider,
Telecommunications services, and Small cell facility and whether any updates are
necessary. Staff has looked at these definitions further and determined they fit the
intention of the code requirements and are consistent with federal and state ordinances. A
minor clarification was made to Small cell facility for determining criteria.
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
Since these changes are in response to federal legislation, engagement has been limited.
Notification of the current changes has been announced in the Planning and Development
Services monthly newsletter, which reaches over 5,000 people. As part of the newsletter,
staff has provided a link to the webpage that includes a description of all the project.
There has not been any public comments or feedback.

BACKGROUND
The FCC introduced significant changes to the size, implementation, and processing of
wireless communication facilities and small cell wireless facilities in 2018 (FCC 18-
133A1), which the city of Boulder addressed mainly with changes to Section 9-6-4(f),
“Specific Use Standards – Public and Institutional Uses,” B.R.C. 1981, and the creation
of Section 8-6-6.5, “Small Cell Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way Permits,” B.R.C.
1981.
Small cell facilities are a wireless communication facility that is mounted on structures
55 feet or less and has an antenna enclosure of no more than three cubic feet and
equipment of no more than 28 cubic feet and is otherwise referred to as a micro wireless
facility.
Since the 2019 ruling, the FCC has released subsequent rulings and interpretations (DA
19-277A1, FCC 20-75A, & FCC 20-153A1), which further changes implementation and
processing of small cell facilities as well as clarifying language in the 2018 ruling. The
State of Colorado released a house bill (HB 17-1193) in response to the 2018 FCC ruling
and has a forthcoming house bill (HB 25-1056) (not yet adopted) that aims to further
change review procedures.
Wireless communication facilities, which include small cell facilities, are an antenna or
series of antennas used for transmitting personal wireless services. Wireless
communication facilities that are larger or taller than small cell facilities are sometimes
referred to as a macrocell. These can include large lattice towers, and any number of
small installations.
When transmission equipment is mounted on an existing eligible support structure the
equipment is “collocated.” Instances where transmission equipment is modified,
including collocation, removal or replacement, without changing the physical dimensions
of the equipment, is referred to as an “eligible facilities request.”
A more detailed description of the FCC rulings and State of Colorado House Bill is
provided below:
FCC 18-133, In the Matter of Accelerating Wireless Broadband Development by
Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment
This ruling, which was released on September 27, 2018, was intended to provide service
in new areas, prohibit restrictions of a new carrier, improve existing services, and provide
fair access to services and providers by:
• Adjusting a maximum application fee, new infrastructure fee, and yearly recurring
fees.
• Providing clarity on reasonable aesthetic requirements.
• Requiring a local jurisdictional review shot clock for collocation applications and
new structure applications.
• Defined that applications that are not approved within the designated shot clock
timeframe are deemed approved.

ANALYSIS
Staff has identified the following key issue for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Does City Council recommend any modifications to the draft ordinance?
The following analysis is provided to demonstrate how the project objective is met
through the proposed ordinance.
What is the reason for the ordinance and what public purpose will be served?
This ordinance has been drafted in response to the FCC rulings and interpretations with
information taken from the State of Colorado house bill regarding wireless
communication facilities and small cell facilities as well as federal codified definitions.
The ninth circuit court had been reviewing and released interpretations of the FCC
rulings in September, 2024 and is partly the reason for the city delaying an ordinance to
update the city’s regulations to comply with the federal law. These changes impact how
the city reviews wireless communication facilities and small cell facilities and are
intended to keep Boulder up to date with the latest wireless communication facility
direction. New state legislation has recently been passed and is awaiting Governor Polis’
signature, CO HB 25-1056, that may also impact local regulations, but staff intends to
evaluate before proposing additional updates.
How is the ordinance consistent with the purpose of the zoning districts or code
chapters being amended?
This ordinance will amend chapters of the land use code to clarify the review procedures
for wireless communication facilities and small cell facilities and make sure the code is
consistent with federal code, rulings, and interpretations and current state law.
Are there consequences in denying this ordinance?
The changes in the ordinance are intended to address the federal legislation. The
consequence of denying this ordinance is that the city would fall into noncompliance with
FCC rulings such as size, review procedures, and applicable fees which could potentially
leave the city up to legal challenges from businesses, community members, and/or the
federal government.
What adverse effects may result with the adoption of this ordinance?
Staff does not anticipate that adverse effects may result with the adoption of this
ordinance. Currently, Boulder has ordinances in effect that capture the majority of the
intent of the FCC 18-133 ruling; however, this ordinance is intended to clarify the review
procedures, add definitions of applicable legal definitions for clarity, and to amend the
applicable fees in line with the subsequent FCC rulings and interpretations. Both Section
Item 3G - 1st Rdg Ord 8694 Small Cell
Wireless Regulations Updates
Page 6
Packet Page 104 of 568
9-6-4(f) and Section 8-6-6.5 address concealment techniques and spacing requirements
for new and collocation of small cell wireless and wireless communication facilities in
the event of an increase in small cell applications.
What factors are influencing the timing of the proposed ordinance? Why?
As stated, there are ordinances in effect in the Boulder Revised Code that capture the
majority of the intent of the FCC 18-133 ruling. Until recently, the City has received a
limited amount of applications for small cell facilities in the right-of-way; however, with
the recent transfer of streetlights from Xcel Energy to the City of Boulder, increased
interest in small cell applications from providers has prompted a review of current code
policies and their compatibility with recent rulings and interpretations.
How does the ordinance compare to practices in other cities?
This ordinance will align Boulder’s requirements with federal and state legislation, and
create uniformity of our code policies with other nearby communities along the front
range, which have also updated their regulations to comply with the legislation. Examples
include Greeley, CO and Fort Collins, CO.
How will this ordinance implement the comprehensive plan?
This project implements several relevant policies noted below.
Procedurally, the changes will clarify the fees, application, and review process for
wireless communication facilities and small cell facilities in Boulder. As stated above, the
changes are intended to align Boulder’s requirements with federal rulings, interpretations,
legislation, state legislation, and uniformity with other front range communities.
Intergovernmental Cooperation Policy 1.02 Policy Assessment
The city and county will assess and be responsive to the external effects of their
policies on other entities and jurisdictions. Consequences and tradeoffs will be
considered before making decisions on them.
Intergovernmental Cooperation Policy 1.04: Compliance with Land Use
Regulations
With regard to public facilities owned and operated in the other’s jurisdiction, the city
and county will respect and abide by existing land use regulations insofar as being
reasonably practicable.
Intergovernmental Cooperation Policy 1.19: Provision of Urban Services in the
Boulder Valley
The city is an adequate provider of facilities and services. These facilities and services
will continue to be supplied to Area I. The city will make them available to Area II
within the planning period pursuant to the city’s annexation policies and Capital
Improvements Program. The city and county intend that new urban development not
occur until adequate urban facilities and services are available to serve the
development. The county’s experience indicates that the provision of the full range of
urban facilities and services by a municipality is preferable to provision of urban
Item 3G - 1st Rdg Ord 8694 Small Cell
Wireless Regulations Updates
Page 7
Packet Page 105 of 568
facilities and services by special districts and private groups in part because
municipalities have politically accountable leadership, general police power and the
ability to coordinate provision of adequate urban facilities and services. Therefore, it is
hereby presumed that adequate facilities and services can be provided only by the City
of Boulder. The city will extend, furnish or provide such services at such time as it can
provide them all as provided under paragraph 1.19(a) on the following page and the
Urban Service Criteria and Standards in Chapter VII of this plan. However, it is not the
intent to preclude the development and use of alternative facilities and service systems
for new urban development so long as they are adequate as provided under paragraph
1.19(b) and the Urban Service Criteria and Standards section of this plan.
Natural Environment Policy 3.11: Urban Environmental Quality
To the extent possible, the city and county will seek to protect the environmental
quality of areas under significant human and urban influence and will balance human
needs and public safety with environmental protection. The city will develop and apply
community-wide programs and standards for new development and redevelopment so
that negative environmental impacts will be mitigated and overall environmental
quality of the urban environment will be maintained and improved.
Economy Policy 5.08: Funding City Services & Urban Infrastructure
The city will encourage a strong sustainable economy to generate revenue to fund
quality city services and recognizes that urban infrastructure, facilities, services and
amenities are important to the quality of life of residents, employees and visitors to the
community. A strong and complete local and regional multimodal transportation system
and transportation demand management programs are essential to a thriving economy,
as they offer options for commuters, help attract and retain key businesses, employers
and visitors and provide regional access to global markets. The city will continue to
plan for and invest in urban amenities and infrastructure (e.g., bike paths, parks, shared
and managed parking, public spaces, quality gathering places, cultural destinations and
public art) as well as community services (e.g., open space and mountain parks, high
speed internet, fire-rescue, public safety and senior services).
Economy Policy 5.11: Communications Infrastructure
The city will promote opportunities to enable Boulder residents, businesses, visitors and
public or private institutions to connect affordably, easily and securely. The city and
county will support and facilitate the development of technologically advanced
communications infrastructure (e.g., broadband) and other improvements that serve the
community, help businesses thrive and grow, foster the growth of emerging
telecommunications industries and support emergency systems.
Local Governance & Community Engagement Policy 10.01: High-Performing
Government
The city and county strive for continuous improvement in stewardship and
sustainability of financial, human, information and physical assets. In all business, the
city and county seek to enhance and facilitate transparency, accuracy, efficiency,
effectiveness and quality customer service. The city and county support strategic
decision-making with timely, reliable and accurate data and analysis.

permit is obtained.
(C) Review Criteria: The city manager shall approve an eligible facilities request if
the request:
(i) Is an eligible facilities request for an eligible support structure;
(ii) Does not result in a substantial change;
(iii) Complies with the originally approved design elements and other conditions
of approval, including but not limited to colors, textures, surfaces, scale,
character, mounting, projection and siting, or any approved amendments
thereto, except where noncompliance with those elements or conditions is
solely limited to the thresholds of increase in height, increase in width,
addition of cabinets or new excavation or deployment area identified in the
definition of substantial change; and
(iv) Does not defeat the concealment elements of the eligible support structure.
Any design element that places the wireless communications facility out of
view, hides it from being noticed, blends it with its surroundings or otherwise
minimizes the visual or aesthetic impact of the facility is a concealment
element of the eligible support structure.
(Diii) Decision: If the city manager finds the review criteria of Subparagraph
(2)(AC) are met, the manager shall approve the eligible facilities request. If
the manager finds that the applicant’s request does not meet the criteria of
Subparagraph (2)(AC), the manager may approve with written conditions or
deny the eligible facilities request and provide a written disposition with the
reasons for conditional approval or denial, as well as any conditions required
at the time of approval, to the applicant. The manager’s decision shall be
supported by substantial evidence in the written record. Upon issuance of the
denial decision, the manager shall review the application pursuant to the
procedures established in Section 9-2-2, “Administrative Review
Procedures,” B.R.C. 1981, and the requirements of this Ssubsection (f) and
may request additional information and documents from the applicant to
permit appropriate review.
(Eiv) Compliance with Other Laws: Notwithstanding the approval of an
applicationfor an eligible facilities request, all work done pursuant to the
application must be completed in accordance with all generally applicable
laws, regulations or other rules reasonably related to public health and safety,
including but not limited to, building and safety codes.
(Fv) Remedies: The applicants and the city may bring a claim related to § 6409 of
the Spectrum Act (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1455) to any court of competent
jurisdiction.
(C) Timeframes for Review: Table 6-6 summarizes the review timeframes from the
date of submittal for wireless communication facilities. Any of the timeframes
identified in Table 6-6 may be extended by mutual agreement of the applicant and
the city.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council identified Wildfire Hardening & Waterwise Landscaping Policies &
Regulation as one of its 2024-2025 work program priorities. The proposed changes in
Ordinance 8695 represent the first step in changes for the wildfire hardening project.
There is already significant work being done throughout the city organization to mitigate
wildfire risk, which is summarized in the Dec. 12, 2024 study session memo. This code
change focuses on the building code regulatory changes that could further support
wildfire hardening of buildings and properties in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)
area of the city.
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 1
Packet Page 120 of 568
For 11 years, Boulder has had special building regulations for the WUI area. To regulate
this, Boulder has adopted the 2012 and 2018 International Wildland Urban Interface
Codes with local amendments; the 2018 code is currently in effect. The International
Code Council (ICC) updates the International Wildland Urban Interface Code (IWUIC)
every three years through a collaborative and consensus-based process involving experts,
stakeholders and public comment throughout the country. ICC’s approach to code
development ensures that building codes are robust, adaptable, and reflective of current
safety and construction standards.
The proposed code change includes adoption of the ICC’s 2024 edition of the IWUIC as
well as new local amendments designed to address specific wildfire concerns in the City
of Boulder. The proposed ordinance is available in Attachment A.
This project also includes a reevaluation and update to the WUI area map that identifies
where the IWUIC requirements apply (see Attachment C). The second reading memo
will include a separate motion to officially identify the map area. The map significantly
increases the number of properties included, though the vast majority of new WUI area
properties are within the Class 3 ignition resistant zone, which has the simplest property
management implications.
If passed, the IWUIC would go into effect on August 1, 2025 along with the other ICC
codes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Suggested Motion Language:
Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the
following motion:
Motion to introduce and order published by title only Ordinance 8695, amending
Chapter 10-8.5, “Wildland Code,” B.R.C. 1981, to adopt by reference the 2024 edition
of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code of the International Code Council
with certain amendments, and setting forth related details.
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
Planning Board – Planning Board will review the ordinance on April 15, 2025 and will
provide a recommendation to City Council. The board’s recommendation will be
included in the memo for second reading, scheduled for May 15, 2025.
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
A consult level of engagement was used for this project. Relevant feedback on wildfire
hardening efforts was also received during the recent update to the Community Wildfire
Protection Plan in 2024. Since some of the proposed changes to the WUI area are based
on the state’s Wildfire Resiliency Code Board model code, elements of the map changes
are limited to an inform level of engagement.
Notification of the upcoming changes has been announced in several editions of the
Planning and Development Services monthly newsletter, which reaches over 5,000
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 2
Packet Page 121 of 568
people. Two community meetings were held in March, an in-person event attended by
about 35 people and an online meeting with about 15 attendees. A presentation of the
proposed updates was shared at both meetings and staff from both the Planning &
Development Services and Fire-Rescue departments were available to answer questions.
Feedback received in the community meetings was generally positive regarding both the
expansion of the WUI area and the proposed local amendments to the code. Some
attendees were concerned about the limited applicability of the proposed changes,
specifically that the requirements would not apply to properties until a building permit is
sought and would only apply to the specific scope of work. Staff is continuing to analyze
the staffing and resource implications of requiring a greater level of compliance, such as
at the time of property sale or rental license; this will be addressed in later aspects of the
Wildfire Hardening project. A summary of questions asked at the community meetings is
provided in Attachment D.
An online engagement page has also been developed on Be Heard Boulder to summarize
the proposed changes, provide important documents and updates on engagement
opportunities, and includes an ideas wall for community members to leave comments.
Comments received so far can be viewed on the Be Heard Boulder page linked above.
Council and Board Input
City Council
City Council identified Wildfire Hardening & Waterwise Landscaping Policies &
Regulation as one of its 2024-2025 work program priorities. At its retreat, Council agreed
to establish a priority that encompasses a review of policies and regulations focused on
wildfire hardening strategies (building and properties) and waterwise landscaping (such
as native plant use). The proposed changes in Ordinance 8695 represent the first step in
changes for the wildfire hardening project.
The council priority project kicked off this fall and is a multi-departmental collaborative
effort. There is already significant work being done throughout the city organization to
mitigate wildfire risk. This code change focuses on the building code regulatory changes
that could further support wildfire hardening of buildings and properties.
City Council provided direction on the project at the December 12, 2024 study session
(see summary of council comments). Notably, the City Council directed staff not to move
forward with applying regulations retroactively to properties, but rather to apply
requirements to properties at the time of building permits. Several council members also
indicated interest in expanding the WUI area. Additionally, City Council asked that staff
study opportunities to require compliance with wildfire hardening requirements upon
property sale or rental license, as well as the staffing and resource implications of this
work. This is still being studied and will be addressed separately, later in the project.
Planning Board
The Planning Board was introduced to the project at the December 17, 2024 meeting. The
board expressed general support staff’s initial recommendations related to the IWUIC.
Several topics were discussed including the interaction of historic preservation review
with wildfire requirements, how the WUI map and regulations are updated with new data
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 3
Packet Page 122 of 568
or fire science understanding, how to incentivize neighborhood compliance, the
importance of education and outreach, the classification of new WUI areas, concerns that
complaint-based enforcement can be inequitable, and questions about whether identifying
properties within the WUI affects insurance coverage.
BACKGROUND
International Wildland Urban Interface Code
The City of Boulder routinely adopts and enforces a full set of codes that regulate
buildings and construction in the city (Title 10, B.R.C., 1981). Most of these codes are
based on model building codes developed by the International Code Council (ICC), with
local amendments to address issues specific to the Boulder community. For example,
through local amendments, Boulder has prohibited wood roof coverings and required
Class A (most restrictive) roofing to mitigate fire risk since 1994.
The IWUIC Boulder first adopted the IWUIC in 2013, and it was effective on January 31,
2014. In 2019, the 2018 version was adopted and is the version the city is currently
enforcing. The ICC model codes are updated on a three-year cycle and the city typically
adopts every other cycle of these codes. Boulder most recently adopted the 2024 set of
codes but the IWUIC was set on a separate timeline to allow for more robust engagement.
The purpose of the IWUIC is to regulate the use, condition, and construction of structures
within WUI areas to mitigate the risk to life and structures associated with the spread of
wildland fires into the interface area and to minimize the potential spread of structure
fires into wildland fuels. It establishes minimum regulations for the safeguarding of life
and for property protection.
The IWUIC requires new construction and additions or remodels to homes within the
identified WUI area to meet additional regulations beyond the standards found in the
general construction requirements of the city’s building code. These additional
regulations include fire resistant materials, underfloor areas, roof coverings, eaves, rain
gutters, windows, and ventilation openings.
The 2024 IWUIC update with proposed local amendments is intended to significantly
reduce the wildfire risk of new construction within the city of Boulder. This code only
applies to new construction, modifications, and relocated structures in the WUI area.
State of Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code Board
In 2023, Senate Bill 23-166 was adopted which established a wildfire resiliency code
board to adopt model codes, requiring governing bodies with jurisdiction in an area
within the WUI to adopt codes that meet or exceed the model code standards.
By July 1, 2025, the board is required to circulate rules concerning the adoption of codes
and standards for the hardening of structures and reducing fire risk in the defensible space
surrounding structures in the wildland-urban interface in Colorado. Jurisdictions like
Boulder would be required to have codes that meet or exceed the state’s model codes and
apply that to all properties identified by the state as located within the WUI. Drafts of the
state model code and map have been released and city staff have ensured that the
proposed code changes align with state requirements.
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 4
Packet Page 123 of 568
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN ORDINANCE 8695
The main changes proposed include adopting the 2024 IWUIC, as well as the proposed
updated WUI area, and local amendments to the IWUIC. These local recommendations
are summarized below.
2024 IWUIC
The 2024 version of the IWUIC incorporates a few changes to note:
• Administrative formatting updates to align with the other I-Code format
• Updates what is considered "Ignition-resistant (IR) building material"
• Added a flashing requirement to Class 1 Ignition Resistant Construction
• Updated requirements for vents for both Class 1 and Class 2 Ignition Resistant
Construction
• Added requirements for vents to Class 3 Ignition Resistant Construction
Proposed WUI Area
The IWUIC requires the WUI to be identified and reviewed at least every three years.
This project includes reevaluation and an update of the identified WUI area. The second
reading memo will include a separate motion to officially identify the map area. The
proposed map would increase the number of properties from 4,667 parcels, mostly
located on the western side of town, to 16,391 properties, including areas on the eastern
side of Boulder.
The map is delineated by the areas of the three tiers of ignition resistant construction
required by the IWUIC. The vast majority (11,517 or 98%) of new WUI area properties
are identified within the Class 3 ignition resistant zone, which has the least restrictive
requirements. 207 properties are identified in the Class 2 ignition resistant zone, which
has more restrictive requirements (see summary of varying class requirements in
Attachment B).
The map in Attachment C identifies the current and proposed WUI area, as determined
by Boulder Fire-Rescue staff (view the interactive map). The degree of fire resistance
required for construction in the WUI area depends on several factors, including available
water supply for firefighting, the fuel hazard, and the number of days of critical fire
weather. Most areas in the interface area in Boulder require 1-hour fire resistance
materials. In addition to construction standards, the IWUIC requires vegetation
management plans as a part of building permit applications in the interface areas.
Fire-Rescue staff also completed additional modeling based on fire behavior data and
applied research about ember travel and home exposure to embers. This included areas
where torching and crown fire could occur, combined with commonly cited research
about home exposure to long range ember cast. This ember modeling informed the
expansion of the WUI boundary east of Broadway in portions of north and South
Boulder, and to Broadway in central Boulder.
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 5
Packet Page 124 of 568
The WUI area has also been updated to ensure that all parcels included in the state’s
Wildfire Resiliency Code Board WUI map, scheduled for adoption in the coming months,
are also incorporated in the city’s WUI area.
Proposed Local Amendments to the 2024 IWUIC
As with other ICC codes, the 2024 IWUIC is recommended to be adopted with several
local amendments. Aside from local amendments being carried forward from the 2018
version, the following are new to highlight:
Chapter 2: Definitions
• Amended definition of “defensible space”
• New definition of “noncombustible zone”
Chapter 5: Special Building Construction Requirements
• Requires noncombustible decking material and screening below new decks in
the Class 3 zone.
• Requires all new fences and gates within 8 feet of a structure to be constructed
of noncombustible material in the WUI area.
Chapter 6: Fire Protection Requirements
• For new construction, requires fuel modification distance in accordance with
level of hazard.
• For new construction, requires all new habitable buildings and structures
within 10 feet of a habitable building have a 5-foot noncombustible zone.
• For new construction, limits plants in defensible space (5-30 feet) to only low-
flammability plants.
• For new construction, prohibits the planting of new junipers.
Attachment A contains the draft the ordinance and the full IWUIC is available here.
ANALYSIS
Staff has identified the following key issue for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Does the City Council recommend any modifications to the draft
ordinance?
The following analysis is provided to demonstrate how the project objective is met
through the proposed ordinance.
What is the reason for the ordinance and what public purpose will be served?
The purpose of the larger Wildfire Hardening project is to reduce Boulder’s wildfire risk
to homes by updating codes and policies, such as ignition-resistant building code
requirements and landscaping codes, and by enhancing, expanding, and further
operationalizing education and incentive programs that help residents reduce risk on their
property. This ordinance will adopt the latest 2024 IWUIC with local amendments
specific to Boulder that mitigate potential risk. The project would also significantly
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 6
Packet Page 125 of 568
expand the WUI area where the code will apply. This will serve the public purpose of
contributing to Boulder’s multifaceted approach at reducing wildfire risk.
How is the ordinance consistent with the purpose of the zoning districts or code
chapters being amended?
The purpose of the city’s WUI code is to “protect public health and safety by regulating
the use, condition, construction, alteration, repair, and maintenance of buildings,
structures, and premises within the wildland-urban interface areas in the city in order to
prevent the spread of fire and risk of harm to persons and property from the intrusion of
fire from wildland fire exposures and fire exposures from adjacent structures, as well as
to prevent structure fires from spreading to wildland fuels.” With this ordinance, the city
would adopt the 2024 IWUIC update with local amendments. The project will also
expand the mapped WUI area to further reduce wildfire risk. The expanded map area is
based on the soon-to-be adopted state requirements as well as ember modeling as
described in the memorandum above.
Are there consequences in denying this ordinance?
If this ordinance is not adopted, the 2018 IWUIC would remain in effect. While this
provides significant protection, important new standards like the noncombustible zone,
low-flammability plants, and others would not be regulated. Additionally, if the WUI is
note updated, the WUI would remain limited to the far western edge of the city, despite
ember modeling knowledge that indicates additional risk in other areas of the city.
What adverse effects may result with the adoption of this ordinance?
The city currently has the 2018 IWUIC in effect with local amendments, which provides
risk mitigation beyond what many other communities have, with extensive requirements
for ignition-resistant building materials in particular. The proposed 2024 IWUIC with
local amendments would further strengthen the code requirements by incorporating more
of the defensible space protections like a noncombustible zone, low-flammability
landscaping requirements, noncombustible fence connections, and ignition-resistant
decking requirements in Class 3. The updated WUI area would also expand the
applicability of these requirements.
What factors are influencing the timing of the proposed ordinance? Why?
As noted previously, the city adopts the suite of ICC codes every six years. The other
codes were adopted on March 20th with an effective date of August 1, 2025. The intent is
to adopt the IWUIC to have the same effective date of August 1, 2025 as the other codes.
Additionally, the city is required to comply with the state’s Wildfire Resiliency Code
Board model codes within 3 months of the final adoption on July 1, 2025. Furthermore,
this is an important step in the City Council 2024-2025 work program priority related to
wildfire hardening.

How does the ordinance compare to practices in other cities?
To better understand the various approaches to regulating the WUI, staff researched 15
peer communities, primarily located in Colorado, with some additional communities out
of state that are known to have strong fire mitigation efforts. This research found that
there were generally a few different approaches to fire mitigation regulation.
• Austin, TX and Chaffee County, CO have adopted the IWUIC code without
additional wildfire mitigation standards in their zoning code -- this is the current
approach in the City of Boulder as well.
Later steps in the wildfire hardening project may consider additional changes to the land
use code, similar to those of the following communities:
• Ashland, OR and Boise, ID have established a WUI overlay district within their
zoning or land use codes rather than incorporating specific requirements for the
WUI in their building codes.
• Many Colorado communities such as Colorado Springs, Douglas County,
Jefferson County, and Loveland have incorporated both building code and land
use code requirements, often with a WUI overlay district established in the land
use code.
How will this ordinance implement the comprehensive plan?
The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) is the overarching policy document for
the city. Several relevant policies are adopted within the BVCP, with the following most
directly applicable to this project:
Natural Environment Policy 3.20: Wildfire Protection & Management
As Boulder County’s climate changes, the intensity and frequency of wildfires is likely to
increase. The city and county will require onsite and off-site measures to guard against the danger
of fire in developments adjacent to natural lands and consistent with forest and grassland
ecosystem management principles and practices. Recognizing that fire is a widely accepted means
of managing ecosystems and wildfire risk, the city and county will integrate ecosystem
management principles with wildfire hazard mitigation planning and urban design.
Natural Environment Policy 3.10 Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation & Resilience
The city and county are working to help mitigate climate change globally and recognize that
climate change adaptation is an important area for consideration.
Preserving large ecological reserves enhances the resilience of native ecosystems and reduces the
loss of native biodiversity, ecological processes and ecosystems as the climate changes.
Additionally, the city and county will use an adaptive management approach to assess potential
impacts from changes in the local climate. Open space management plans guide other strategies
related to climate change, such as changes to visitation rates or visitor experiences (e.g., heat
exposure or scenic quality) on open space. Overall strategies may include:
1. Actively improve our understanding of the effect of climate change on local ecosystems and of
actions that may help maintain or restore the ecological functions of natural systems under a
changing climate;
2. Actively identify and monitor ecosystems most vulnerable to climate change using biological
indicators of sensitivity and response;
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 8
Packet Page 127 of 568
3. Protect large reserves of open space land to support the long-term viability of native plants and
animals;
4. Conduct restoration of degraded environments and management of natural ecosystems to
enhance their resilience in the presence of climate change, using existing management plans and
the best available science. In some cases, this may involve ecosystem transition to alternate states
or novel ecosystems (e.g., to ecosystems now found at different elevations, to variations of current
ecosystems, or ecosystems changing in other ways that cannot be forecast with certainty today);
5. On-going attention to the wildland urban interface environments to improve management of
both natural resources and human-wildlife conflicts and to reduce the potential for catastrophic
wildfire; and
6. Including specific management guidance and direction regarding climate change mitigation,
adaptation and resilience when city and county agencies prepare master plans.
Community Well-Being & Safety Policy 8.09 Resilience in Public Safety & Risk Prevention
The city and county will provide focused efforts around public safety, risk prevention and early
intervention. Working with the community, the city, and county will strive to prepare all segments
of the community for uncertainty and disruptions by encouraging community and individual
preparedness and creating a culture of risk awareness. The city and county will prepare for,
respond to and manage wildfire hazards by implementing wildland-urban interface regulations and
developing, updating and implementing multi-hazard mitigation programs and plans.

Colorado, and open for public inspection during the business hours of the city. Such copy shall
be certified to be true by the mayor and the clerk.
Section 4. Unless expressly provided otherwise, any violation of the provisions of the

Penalties,” B.R.C. 1981.

paragraphs and sections of this ordinance or the code adopted herein, unless it appears to the
court that the valid provisions of the section or ordinance are so essentially and inseparably
connected with, and so dependent upon, the void provision that it cannot be presumed the

council would have enacted the valid provisions without the void one; or unless the court
determines that the valid provisions, standing alone, are incomplete and are incapable of being
executed in accordance with the legislative intent. If the provision of an exception invalidates a
prohibition, but the prohibition without the exception would be valid, then it is council’s intent in

Introduction
Lisa Houde (Planning & Development Services) introduced the item. Chief David Lowrey (Boulder Fire-
Rescue) presented the WUI code and the proposed changes.
Discussion
Retroactive Enforcement
•Are there parts of this that should be applied retroactively? Phase over a time frame. Can it be
enforced retroactively?
•Could we just apply code retroactively and deal with enforcement staffing later?
•A certain percentage of population will follow the law so make the rules mandatory on a retroactive
basis. Focus on lower cost things?
General Comments and Questions
•What constitutes non-combustible?
•Concern that 0-5 foot distance around houses will exacerbate urban heat island effect.
•Concerns expressed about vegetation around 311 Mapleton and that new rules won’t be
retroactive. The right-of-way people aren’t doing their job. Sidewalks are being covered with pine
trees/ADA issues.
•In the newly defined WUI area, how many homes fall into the area? How many permits have been
pulled in the WUI? We need this data to be pulled and shared.
•City Council does not have the relevant info about how important these changes are and the
positive impacts of doing the changes even on existing properties. City Council did not have a full
idea of these topics when they provided direction.
•Sorry to not see more design professionals here tonight. Communities need to get together. If your
neighbors don’t make changes then it makes no difference. We need to get groups together to get
buy in.
•Would be good to get together with insurance companies to help lower insurance rates if there is
more compliance.
•You have to meet fire mitigation requirements in Boulder County, right? Defensible space. Within
the WUI, you should be able to do that. Not everyone pulls permits, but many will and it will make a

Packet Page 145 of 568
difference. With neighborhoods and people caring, hopefully we help monitor that (low hanging
fruit).
• Decks and porches – (appendages and projections) – a porch would have the same requirement as
a deck. What about with the Landmarks Board?
• How are conflicts between departments reconciled?
• What’s happening in the wildland areas?
• Many landmarks cases where they can’t get a metal roof. Metal roofs should be required.
• Most of the people will not be compelled to meet the requirements. We would like a list of all the
things that we should do (low hanging fruit). I did a search for fire resistant fencing, couldn’t find
anything. Get it out now and people will start paying attention.
• Get people together at the library to teach them these things.
• What plans do you have for outreach to the design build community?
• Real Estate professionals- would like Fire-Rescue staff to come speak to our group.
• Are taller, denser buildings more at risk for spreading fire?
• Do you have examples of renovations, alterations to existing houses that would trigger the new
code? What about roofing permits?
• In regard to the LA fires, are you aware of what caused the extensive range of the spread?
What’s Next?
Lisa Houde summarized the next steps, upcoming meetings, Planning Board and City Council dates, Be
Heard Boulder, and discussed waterwise landscaping as the next phase. Also discussed the detailed home
assessment program.
Final Questions and Comments
• Is the detailed home assessment program run by city staff?
• Very surprised when a condenser was installed along side yard – dangerous – how could this have
happened? Need to be able to get around my house.
• Are the city and county coordinating on grants in the same timeframe? Are HOAs in this new cycle?

Introduction
Welcomed community members. Use the chat for any clarifications, it will be monitored throughout the
presentation. Take questions after the presentation.
Discussion
During Presentation
• Are there ANY requirements for properties in the WUI that are not making changes to their home
people need to follow? It sounds like there are not but I just wanted to be sure I have the
information correctly or if I am missing something?
• I assume these are required for remodel - is there a percentage of remodel where these are
triggered, or it is it any change?
• It appears State WUIC will have a map only showing two color zone - red and orange will be high
and will probably also extend out from map limit 1 mile - will you be following that final map?
• Will you require new decking that needs to be ignition resistant to be Class A or Class B - Trex
decking is rated Class B?
• How will you deal with landscaping being installed at any time by homeowners not part of building
permits?
• Will a permit for new windows then need to follow WUIC - especially in Class 1 zone which required
the fire rated or tempered glass?
After Presentation
• I understand the results of the straw poll council took back in Dec about considering required
measures for existing parcels. Since then, the L.A. fires have occurred. Has this topic been
reconsidered by the council or do you expect it will be?
• What about those who aren’t educatable, but would be amenable to a menu of foliage? Not worth
the expense?
• Can you do a gallery view for these zoom meetings? Is that too expensive? I would like to know who
I am present with and their questions in the audio.
Attachment D - Summary of Community Meeting Questions
Item 3H - 1st Rdg Ord 8695 WUI Code Update Page 28
Packet Page 147 of 568
• (Re: Insurability) Will conforming to these amendments enable a building designation as a
"WILDFIRE PREPARED HOME" from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety or similar,
pursuant to proposed house bill “hb25-1182”?
• Why is a condenser that completely obstructs my sideboard setback acceptable? This causes
tunneling alterations.
• How will a homeowner know they are in the WUI area? Is there a map online can they refer to?
• What about accessibility? The 311 project is going to be driving the demand for evacuation, and I
am going to need to access my own place to defend it myself. The condenser blocks me from my
house.
• What does defensible space mean for low flammability?
• Can anyone just block their side yard setbacks? How could this possibly be the case with all the new
anti-gas utilities improvements demanding large condensers?
• It’s not the 5 ft. combustible zone I am concerned about. The condenser is obviously not
combustible unless the power was not cut and wind ripped out the 220 current serving as ignition.
This is why it needs to be dialogue.

Packet Page 150 of 568
The Council Retreat Committee planned the 2025 Midterm Check-in, in partnership with staff, to
provide updates on the priority projects identified at the April 2024 retreat. Staff in the City
Manager’s Office also provided updates on Citywide Strategic Plan progress. The full summary
of the meeting can be found in Attachment A – Notes from February 27th City Council Midterm
Check-in (provided by Peak Facilitation).
ANALYSIS
Staff did not receive any council member feedback related to the Midterm Check-in through the
QR code that linked to a Formstack questionnaire provided by staff at the end of the meeting.
This questionnaire will remain open should council members wish to share feedback related to
the content, process, or facilitation of the 2025 Midterm Check-in.
NEXT STEPS
As described at the end of the Midterm Check-in, the upcoming retreat schedule is as follows:
•Spring 2026 – Truncated retreat, one-year priority setting exercise (allows for priority
setting for the final year of 2023-2026 council member terms and the first year of 2025-
2028 council terms)
•Spring 2027 – Full retreat (regular two-year priority setting exercise for the last two years
of the 2025-2028 council member terms and the first two years of the 2026 – 2030
council member terms)
•Spring 2028 – Regular midterm check-in
•Subsequent years will alternate between full retreats and midterm check-ins.

Questions on the BVCP Update
Will there be any statistically valid polling, or will the Council and staff make decisions based on
community members' attendance?
Staff anticipate conducting a statistically valid survey in September or October 2025 and potentially
a second one later in the process. These polls cost, on average, $40,000.
II. Citywide Long-term Financial Strategy
• The City of Boulder ’s long-term flnancial strategy focuses on developing a comprehensive
citywide strategy to help guide flscal decision-making and ensure the City’s long-term
flnancial health.
• This strategy builds on prior policy recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Commission
reports of 2008 and 2010, the 2019 budgeting report, and recent lessons learned reports
from the 2019 COVID pandemic period, all of which called for a comprehensive flnancial
plan. These reports cautioned the City’s overreliance on sales taxes and dedicated funding
sources and encouraged the development of an outcomes-based budgeting system.
• This strategy is a two -year initiative supported by multiple departments with four primary
work objectives:
o Developing a long-term flnancial plan for the organization
o Identifying alternative funding and revenue opportunities
o Deflning core services and benchmarking against peer communities
o Developing a multi-year tax ballot measure strategy with policy guidance from three
Council members on the Financial Strategy Committee (FSC)
• Phase 1 is nearly complete, including a citywide inventory of existing fees and aligned
programs to assess current cost recovery levels and align programs with a core services
hierarchy. The project team will develop a multi-year tax ballot measure framework for 2025
and 2026, with the 2025 ballot focusing on addressing unmet and underfunded needs.
• Phase 2 will prioritize next steps, including developing a 5-year comprehensive financial
plan, conducting additional research, analyzing revenues and service levels through
benchmarking, and identifying potential tax ballot measures for 2026. This phase w ill also
include engagement and communication plans to increase understanding of the City’s
financial constraints and gather input from the community on priorities and desired service
levels.
• The project team will update the Council on April 3, 2025, with additional details on this
flnancial strategy initiative.
Questions on the Long-term Financial Strategy
How will reconciliation and reparations be considered in this process?
The project team developed guiding principles as part of the City’s long-term strategy, which
includes flnancial sustainability, equity, and resiliency. In phase 2, the team will examine existing
fees and subsidies related to equity and assess the potential tax burden. Reparations are not part of
the scope of the LTFS.
What does the communication plan for this strategy entail?
Engagement will occur in two phases. The team will use community feedback from 2024-2025
budget activities and Boulder Community Connectors sessions. A statistically valid voter survey
will be conducted for the 2025 tax ballot. From March 2025 to May 2026, the team will host

Packet Page 153 of 568
information sessions and gather input from Community Connectors and residents on the 2026 tax
ballot measures.
Does the project team have any ballot measures in mind?
Over the past four months, the team collaborated with the FSC to develop the 2025-2026 tax ballot
framework. The 2025 approach focuses on maintaining underfunded needs, while 2026
emphasizes expanded investments in core programs and services. The FSC identifled culture,
resilience, and safety taxes—including infrastructure—as potential measures. The team will
conduct a 2025 polling survey and report to the Council in April, May, and June.
When does the polling on potential ballot initiatives flt in with an opportunity for the Council to
review a preliminary set of engagement questions and then the results?
The Council will have a touchpoint before polling on April 3 and April 8. Then, in June, staff will
provide the polling results.
III. Homelessness Programs and Innovations
• The program focuses on three areas: the high utilizer initiative, the Homeless Solutions for
Boulder County (HSBC) system evaluation, and a citywide homelessness strategy update.
• The high utilizer initiative has a lower budget than originally anticipated. The HSBC
evaluation report was completed in January 2025, and the homelessness strategy update
will be implemented this summer.
IV. Economic Development Plan and Program Enhancements
• The project aims to broaden support for various economic initiatives.
• Staff will provide the Council with a draft economic vitality strategy this April.
• Over 500 businesses responded to a recently conducted survey.
• The initiative has reduced commercial vacancies through code changes and process
improvements. Last year, the City increased support for small businesses, focusing on the
hospitality sector with a lodging business area assessment.
• An affordable grant program is being developed to address current market gaps. Work is
also underway to increase the resources available to small businesses.
Questions on the City’s Economic Development Plan and Program Enhancements
How are signiflcant economic challenges and changes being incorporated into the plan?
Staff are in an information-gathering phase. The City is collaborating with the Boulder Chamber of
Commerce to host a survey to understand the current economic impacts across the city.
Is part of this initiative to identify city codes or policies that stifie economic vitality?
No, the strategy will not identify speciflc codes or policies. The engagement survey will provide
further direction by surfacing challenges in codes and policies. Nonetheless, the strategy will
identify additional process improvement opportunities.
The City previously invested in establishing a Business Equity Project Manager position. Will this
initiative result in a fllled position?
The Business Equity Project Manager position is fllled, and staff are actively working on options for a
supplier diversity program.
Will the draft plan and the commercial vacancy update include action points by the time the
Council sees them next, or will the discussion focus on the problems?

Packet Page 154 of 568
Council and staff will discuss issues and actions. Staff will identify actions that the City can take
immediately, while the plan is intended to be implemented over 3-5 years.
V. Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update
• The CAP update offers a streamlined approach to inform the community about focus areas
and key priorities like resilience, emphasizing strategic, systems-level changes for broader
impact. This update will align with the BVCP update, emphasizing compact land use. It also
strengthens climate and flnance aspects, highlighting funding sources and alignment with
the City’s long-term flnancial strategies. The plan will also address the climate-water nexus,
connecting climate and water-related issues.
• Staff are developing plan-related activities, content, and communications, focusing on
actionable roadmaps and interdepartmental engagement to manage climate risks.
• An updated resolution will be presented to the Council by the third quarter of 2025. The CAP
is expected to be launched in the third quarter.
Questions about the CAP Update
What is staff’s thought process on the community literacy/capacity aspect of the CAP?
Some of the past and current collaborative initiatives in the climate equity space (e.g., Boulder
County Climate Equity Fund) can help point to places where community literacy/capacity is most
needed.
VI. Commercial Area Connections and Quality of Life
• The initiative follows a multi-project approach, focusing on pedestrian lighting and the
University Hill streetscape. Plans include sidewalk enhancements and other improvements
based on public input, with several projects expected to be completed by summer.
• Staff are conducting an improvement district analysis in commercial areas using
Progressive Urban Management. The analysis is closely tied to the ongoing flnancial
strategy. The study will offer recommendations related to flnance, governance, and
connectivity.
• A Council study session on April 24 will review the flndings. Based on Council’s direction,
staff will prioritize long-term needs, develop BVCP-related policies, and issue a request for
proposals for blueprint work in the second quarter.
• The City is working on infrastructure improvements to activate street events, aligning with
the Council’s priorities. Summer and fall activations will focus on public art and outdoor
dining opportunities. At the April 24 meeting, Council members will have the opportunity to
revisit this topic for further discussion.
Questions Regarding the Commercial Area Connections and Quality of Life Project
When the Council proposed this priority, the main effort was to improve pedestrian connections
between University Hill and downtown. What near- and long-term changes should the City expect?
In the short term, the City has installed wayflnding posts in the University Hill neighborhood. The
City’s Parks and Recreation department is also installing additional street lighting. Regarding long-
term changes, the Transportation Department will provide input on assessing pedestrian movement
through 13th Street.
VII. Wildfire Hardening Policies and Waterwise Landscaping

• Council members discussed these projects in December 2024. Their focus is on updating
codes and policies related to wildflre preparedness and waterwise landscaping.
• An estimate is being completed for the resources needed for waterwise landscaping.
• Additional Council requests are being considered for applying wildflre risk compliance to
property sales.
• In the coming months, a wildland-urban interface (WUI) designation based on catastrophic
(CAT) modeling be brought forward.
• The City is consolidating a plant list for flre resilience and waterwise landscaping.
• Community engagement for the 2025 WUI building code begins in March, with adoption
expected in May. The land use code, which includes the flre-resilient plant list, will follow.
• Staff will check in with Council in late July, with changes expected for adoption in
September and October.
Questions on the City’s Wildfire Hardening Policies and Waterwise Landscaping
When staff return to the Council in April, how much will the focus be on actionable steps to create
flre-resistant properties at the individual home level?
Building/structure hardening will be the most granular aspect involving changes, such as fencing
and landscaping within 5 feet of structures. These changes would apply to structures on open
space infrastructure.
As staff prepare to complete this Council priority, what are the key next steps or areas of focus to
address wildflre concerns moving forward?
The Community Wildflre Protection Plan (CWPP) has many implementation steps. City
departments are collaborating on this work, and an inter-departmental working group (including
Open Space and Mountain Parks, Fire-Rescue, Utilities, Climate Initiatives, Communications and
Engagement, and the City Manager’s Office team) is helping to move the project forward.
Will any analysis that the City conducts show how to press insurance companies to acknowledge
the City’s wildflre risk reduction work?
Experts in Fire Service have explained that there is not a clear connection between insurance
modeling and city initiatives. Conversations with insurance companies reveal that they are
protective of their risk algorithms and do not consider the City’s rating of the community when
underwriting. However, the more work the community accomplishes, the more likely insurance
companies will consider it.
Given the success of curbside home hardening assessments in the community and the potential
expansion of the WUI map to include more homes, what is the likelihood that curbside
assessments will be extended to these additional properties?
Curbside assessments will be provided citywide, not just in the WUI. The curbside assessment map
will adjust to the new map lines and CAT modeling assessment.
VIII. Family Friendly, Vibrant Neighborhoods
• This Council priority builds on the zoning for affordable housing changes made in 2023,
which supports transit corridors and allows for more missing middle housing. The
ordinance was adopted in February 2025, which allows for duplexes along bus corridors.
The project is now closing and moving toward implementation.

• The BVCP update is prioritizing housing as a key focus. Research from the Bloomberg City
Leadership Program will be completed by this summer. The results of the Leadership
Program align with possible policy changes in the BVCP.
• The City may also explore other options related to homeownership and housing
affordability.
IX. Manufactured/Mobile Home Community Support
• Council initiated this strategy in 2019 and adopted it in 2022.
• Staff has focused on revisiting and dedicating time to the collaborative effort involving
various departments and community partners. Community engagement meetings were
held with residents and property owners within the city to understand the current mobile
home park maintenance needs, operation costs, and mobile home parks' outlook.
• The Manufactured Housing Strategy Action Plan is available on the City’s website. The
action plan includes 35 items, with only one item remaining, which is to explore the
potential for a future partnership agreement with mobile home park owners regarding rent
assistance.
• Staff and Council will revisit the initiative’s progress on June 12, 2025.
Questions on the Manufactured/Mobile Home Community Support Initiative
If the City is not receiving a positive response from mobile home property owners regarding rent
stabilization, what should the Council/staff’s next steps be? Should the City consider increasing
enforcement, and if so, what methods of enforcement would lead to better results?
• Regarding affordability, the State prohibits rent control, so any agreements with mobile
home park owners will be voluntary. The outcome is currently unclear, and staff have had a
challenging time creating those conversations.
• In terms of infrastructure code compliance, mobile home park owners are held
accountable, but there is a flnancial hurdle to complying. A study on infrastructure
replacements was conducted years ago, indicating a large initial capital investment. City
staff can commit to returning to the Council this June to present potential options.
X. City Council Process Working Group
• This working group has been a collaborative effort between the City Manager’s Office, the
City Attorney, and Council members Adams, Marquis, Speer, and Winer.
• Initially, the full Council provided 36 suggestions for process improvements. The working
group prioritized 15 improvements based on the range of ideas. These improvements can be
accommodated within the existing staff work plan and are grouped into four categories:
o Administrative in nature and do not require council direction
o Ideas that are already being addressed by staff
o Ideas that require input from a Council committee to create recommendations
before being considered by full council
o Ideas that need further initial Council direction to determine the next steps
• The working group remains active, although it is not permanent. It will meet again toward
the end of the council term to evaluate the process, progress, and experience.

Questions Regarding the City Council Process Working Group
Is it possible to continue this working group, evolving it with new process improvements throughout
each Council session?
The working group was initially scoped for the duration of this Council’s term. This working group
was established as a Council priority to be concluded Q4 2025.
Without a clear process, it is difficult to ensure fairness. Given that it is ongoing, should this be a
Council priority or a standing process?
Overall, the focus should be on continuous improvement. If the existing rules of council procedure
had been followed all along, the Council might not have experienced the challenges it did. Process
improvement has always been part of the Council retreat, and this priority was created to address it
speciflcally. It is important to consider how many priorities there are and the impact on staff
workload when setting those priorities.
Is there a plan for how to organize process improvements going forward? If a Council member has
additional suggestions beyond what has been discussed, who should they reach out to?
• Staff will provide an update in Q2 on both agenda management and board/commission
processes as part of their work plan. That would be a natural time to bring forward any
process-related suggestions.
• Ideas outside of this scope should be communicated to fellow colleagues and the City
Manager’s office so that the impact can be properly assessed and prioritized accordingly.
XI. City Council Member Pay Increase
This priority has already been completed.
CITYWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATES
Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde, City Manager, provided Council members with updates on the citywide
strategic plan. Highlights from her remarks are summarized below.
• The City of Boulder has many plans (e.g., strategic, business, departments), and staff set to
create a citywide strategic plan to bring them all together. The citywide strategic plan is in its
third year of implementation. Staff presented a framework in Q1 of 2024 to the Council.
• The focus of the plan for 2025 includes building on implementation and looking at
enhanced outcome measurements. This matches efforts for budgeting for resilience and
equity using key performance metrics.
• Staff’s goal is to enhance the citywide strategic plan by ensuring its measurability and
accountability aspects. For many staff, it is hard to manage the workload, respond to
community and Council inquiries, and maintain self-accountability. To address this
proactively, staff hired a consultant to help establish evaluation criteria that address these
challenges, which is currently underway.
• Boulder aims to become the highest-performing organization it can be by integrating all
work into one cohesive effort.
Highlights of the City’s Sustainability, Equity, and Resilience (SER) Framework Goal Areas
The SER Framework guides and organizes the Citywide Strategic Plan. The seven goal areas are
indicated below in the bold text, while the abbreviated titles of relevant strategies are indicated in
italics.

Safe (3 strategies)
• Community Safety: Efforts have been made in critical locations, with successful hotspot
work on the Hill and North Boulder through the stratifled policing plan. Over 1,000
encampments were addressed in 2024, and the high utilizers initiative has been an ongoing
focus. A new chronic nuisance ordinance has been approved to provide additional tools for
addressing safety. The review of limited commission staff, such as parking enforcement and
code enforcement, continues to assess their effectiveness in improving safety. Vision Zero
capital improvements are also underway as part of this strategy.
• Disaster Prevention and Preparedness: Key improvements in wildflre hardening,
landscaping, and emergency preparedness include the implementation of a new
community text alert system. This system allows for real-time notiflcations, which is a
signiflcant upgrade from previous methods that required people to look up information
online. Operational improvements were also made to ensure that evacuation information is
now updated instantaneously on a public-facing map after a 911 alert, which signiflcantly
reduces anxiety in the community. Additionally, there was intensive work with the Boulder
Valley School District on evacuation planning for schools, recognizing the vulnerability of
schools during mass evacuations. The CWPP has been updated and building and WUI
codes have also been revised.
• Employee Workplace Safety: A citywide safety program has been reestablished, integrating
the previously decentralized efforts from various departments. This program now includes a
team structure, safety training for every supervisor and manager in the City, and an
operational committee made up of staff from various departments to support ongoing
safety initiatives. A safety mascot, "Safety Rocks," was introduced to promote the program.
Healthy and Socially Thriving (one strategy)
• Equity-focused programs: This strategy aims to create a socially thriving and healthy
community in Boulder where all residents can meet their basic needs while enjoying high
levels of social, physical, and mental well-being. This includes providing access to services,
as well as recreational and cultural opportunities that focus on equity and belonging. The
healthy and socially thriving-centered strategy emphasizes strengthening equity-focused
programs to advance this goal. A key element of this strategy is ensuring that equity is
centered in all areas of work. Early results from the Elevate Boulder program, the City’s
guaranteed-income pilot, suggest improvements in food security, utility expenses, and
overall mental health for participants. Human services funding has been recently leveraged
to support emergent community needs, including rental assistance and sheltering. Youth
voices will guide funding decisions for the allocation of $2 million from the proceeds of the
sale of the Denver Broncos. Engagement efforts also include work related to Primos Park
and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update.
Livable (two strategies)
• Support diverse individuals and families to live in Boulder: This strategy supports diverse
individuals and families in Boulder by opening a modular housing factory in the Ponderosa
community to create permanently affordable homeownership opportunities. The City is
exploring innovative approaches to affordable housing through the Bloomberg initiative and
making progress in building more units, though current funding falls short of meeting
demand. New projects like the modular housing factory aim to address this need while staff

work to streamline application processes for city programs with income eligibility
requirements to make assistance more accessible.
• 15-minute neighborhoods: The City took a signiflcant step forward with the adoption of
form-based code as part of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan. Additionally, policy work
is expected in both the commercial district analysis and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive
Plan update to advance the 15-minute neighborhood concept further.
Accessible and Connected (two strategies)
• This goal area includes addressing the many deflnitions of accessibility, such as physical,
multimodal transportation, and digital accessibility for City information and engagement
processes.
• Multimodal transportation systems and environmental goals:
o This strategy focuses on reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas
emissions through investments in existing systems. Key areas include Vision Zero,
aimed at improving the City’s core arterial network, and two transportation projects
in the summer of 2025: North 30th Street Preliminary Design and Folsom Street
Safety Improvements.
o The access management and parking initiative, reviewed by the Council earlier this
year, addresses off-street parking standards, transportation demand management,
and on-street parking, aligning with state legislation.
o Enhancements to trails and multi-use paths include the opening of the North Sky
Trail, development of the OSMP trail system, and efforts on the US36 Multi-use Path,
connecting to the Rocky Mountain Greenway. Regional planning includes
improvements along Colorado 119 and Diagonal Highway, with bus rapid transit,
managed lanes, and a commuter bikeway to Longmont, as well as support for the
Boulder to Erie Regional Trail.
• Accessibility to City Information and Engagement:
o This strategy aims to improve public accessibility to City meetings, information, and
programs through equitable engagement, involving key departments such as the
City Manager’s Office, Communications and Engagement, Finance, Innovation and
Technology, and Human Resources.
o Key focus areas include digital accessibility, language access, and enhancing the
City’s Community Connectors Program. Staff have improved digital access to City
services, developing better applications for people with disabilities, in compliance
with state mandates. Phase 1 is complete. Operations have also been improved,
such as creating resource guides for City staff to understand service levels for non -
English speakers. Training programs are being developed for employees with
Spanish language skills to support the community. The Community Connectors
Program has received resources to enhance community engagement.
o Council members will receive an update this April on this goal area, which includes
enhancements to agenda management software and improvements to staff memo
templates. Staff will also undergo training on creating concise, well-organized
memos, with a focus on racial equity assessments, climate sustainability
considerations, and flscal notes in policymaking decisions.

• This goal addresses community energy sources, responsible resource use, and the
protection of Boulder’s ecosystems. Collaboration across city departments supports
initiatives focused on community development, sustainability, and governance.
• Community and Ecosystem Resilience: This strategy enhances resilience to climate change
impacts through collaboration with Climate Initiatives, Planning and Development Services,
Utilities, and Open Space and Mountain Parks. Key initiatives include creating cooling areas
for extreme heat, water conservation programs, and outreach for water-wise landscaping,
irrigation consultations, and lawn removal services.
• Emissions Reduction: This strategy aims for an 80 percent reduction in emissions and a 70
percent reduction community-wide by 2030. Key initiatives include partnering with Excel
Energy for renewable power, acquiring the City’s streetlight system to convert to LED, and
enhancing technology and cost-efficiency for emissions reduction. Efforts at Chautauqua
focus on underground utilities and transitioning off natural gas. The new Fire Station 3 is
part of a deconstruction project to replace aging buildings, retroflt for energy efficiency, and
electrify the fieet.
• Sustainability Policies: As part of this strategy, the City is implementing a socially
responsible procurement policy that incorporates environmental values into purchasing
and developing embodied carbon policies aligned with sustainable practices. In the
summer of 2024, the Council approved an updated energy conservation code with new
incentives to reduce embodied carbon emissions. Additionally, the BVCP continues to
guide and align the City’s sustainability initiatives.
Responsibility Governed (two strategies)
• Organizational and Financial Best Practices:
o In January 2025, the City implemented a new flnancial system to improve flnancial
management and decision-making. As part of this, a citywide asset management
strategy was launched to efficiently manage assets. Staff will inventory all assets,
assess their condition, and use this data to make more strategic budget decisions.
o The Western City Campus development will centralize customer service, improving
processes and technology to enhance the resident experience. This effort will create
seamless in-person and digital interactions for the community.
o The City established a Center of Excellence for project management, involving
nearly 500 project managers across departments. This center will create tools and
resources to support these managers and improve the City’s project execution.
• Employee Growth, Retention, and Development: The City supports leaders and managers
through programs like the two -day Leadership Summit and has launched an employee
affinity group program to foster retention. The employee development program, paused
during COVID-19, will be rebuilt and fully implemented this year, focusing on training,
professional development, and aligning resources across the city.
Economically Vital (one strategy)
• Economic Vitality and Development: This strategy aims to build a healthy, equitable, and
resilient local economy through innovation, diversity, and collaboration, fostering economic
mobility while aligning with community values. The economic vitality strategy update and
district analysis will help guide small business support activities, considering both current
budget resources and projected needs for the 2026 budget process. Staff are exploring
public flnancing tools, such as general improvement districts or the potential creation of a

downtown development authority, to accelerate economic development and better align
with the City’s goals for growth. Council members will review and discuss these flnancing
options at their April 2025 meeting.
Questions Regarding the Citywide Strategic Plan
Council members asked staff clarifying questions about their updates on the Citywide Strategic
Plan goal areas and strategies. Their questions are indicated below in italics, and the corresponding
answers are in plain text.
A few years ago, after the Marshall Fire, a Council member asked how people without cars were
being included in the emergency management plan. The City’s alert system relies on digital devices,
and behaviors are changing. How are these factors being considered in our emergency alert plans?
Since the Marshall Fire, staff have developed educational materials and workshops to help non -car
owners prepare for disasters. They have also worked to encourage residents to sign up for BoCo
alerts. As an interim solution to reduce reliance on social media, the City is collaborating with
trusted Community Connectors, including those who visit homes during evacuations. The initiative
involves cultural brokers to build trust within communities, with support from the Housing and
Human Services Department. Additionally, the City’s siren system is being upgraded, with plans to
reposition sirens in areas where people are more likely to be outdoors.
How does the concept of 15-minute neighborhoods, where people can meet most of their needs
close to home, align with our economic development plan?
The BVCP update allows the City to deflne the role of different commercial centers, distinguishing
regional and neighborhood areas. It will guide amenities and economic development strategies,
with tailored approaches for downtown and smaller centers. A key focus is strengthening the
economic strategy across all commercial areas. For example, East Boulder’s subcommunity plan
proposes tools like a general improvement district to support development. The district analysis
explores tools to make these areas more adaptable to changing conditions and needs. Staff expect
to align tools and policies more effectively through short-term strategies, using insights from the
BVCP update and district analysis to support economic development.
The Citywide Strategic Plan is the most cohesive document the City has. What are staff’s thoughts
on its future development, and what will the process look like?
While staff created an initial version, the document may be developed in partnership with the City
Council in the future. It is a three-year plan, and looking ahead to 2027, staff would like to co-create
new ideas and strategies with the community and other stakeholders.
What is the plan for addressing higher-level outcomes and value-driven results, and how will the
City ensure budget deflciencies are addressed?
• In 2026, the City will engage the community to determine desired service levels and budget
capabilities, supported by clear metrics and program evaluations. Budgeting efforts began
with a focus on resilience and equity.
• A consultant is interviewing departments to create outcome measurements that go beyond
metrics and outputs. The key question is whether spending is achieving the intended
results; if not, adjustments will be made. The goal is to better align the budget with the
City’s strategic objectives, categorizing programs as "essential," "important," or "amenity" as
part of the long-term flnancial strategy.

Is the City planning to install underground utility wires in other areas of the city outside of
Chautauqua?
Under the recent franchise agreement with Excel, funding was requested for undergrounding
projects, including 19th Street, Chautauqua, and downtown. Once completed, the funds will be
exhausted, requiring discussion on prioritizing and funding future underg rounding areas.
Is any of the undergrounding work, particularly downtown, eligible to be bonded under the Capital
Construction and Repair Services (CCRS) initiative, or could it potentially be expanded in the future
under this program?
It is possible to expand it in the future; however, there is no current capacity in the CCRS initiative
to fund them.
Is there a way for Council members to engage in disaster-related tabletop exercises, and how can
the City continue supporting community groups and small businesses in resilience planning,
especially with new considerations like public safety power shutoffs?
• Tabletop exercises are regularly conducted among City staff who manage disaster
response and recovery operations.
• Staff can explore opportunities to help Council members to understand their role during
emergencies.
• Tabletop exercises are important for community groups, especially considering lessons
learned from events like the 2013 flood. Public safety power shutoffs are a new
consideration that needs to be integrated into planning. Additionally, the Small Business
Development Center has received a state grant to support resilience planning, and this
could be a key area for further discussion and support through tabletop exercises.
Have City staff discussed with Excel how to improve the pattern for public safety power shutoffs in
the city?
Yes, there have been discussions, particularly focusing on critical facilities and improving
redundancies to prevent power outages in key areas.
What is the next iteration of Tribal consultation in terms of responsible governance?
The City has multiple layers of consultation with Tribal communities, including efforts to restart
meetings. The University of Colorado Boulder has brought in an assistant vice chancellor to
enhance engagement. Plans include a community event in fall 2025. The OSMP Fort Chambers
concept plan was co-developed with the Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes. Quarterly Tribal meetings
continue to address Indigenous perspectives, and discussions are ongoing about a management
plan for sacred sites on City property.
When will Council members have the opportunity to define the scope and vision of the Downtown
Core Arterial Network (CAN) Study, and why is it being pushed back, especially with so many linking
aspects?
• The Downtown CAN Study currently focuses on operational improvements like pedestrian
safety and bike connectivity.
• The delay is due to resource allocation, with the study slated for 2026 and beyond,
depending on resources. The City is prioritizing major corridor efforts, including the Folsom
and Iris Street studies. The Folsom Street study will continue until June 2025 , while the Iris
Street study is paused until further funding is available.

Does staff think the Chronic Nuisance Ordinance is working? Does the City have enough officers to
manage it effectively?
Community members continue to question the effectiveness of the City's Chronic Nuisance
Ordinance, especially on the Hill. The Police Department may request additional enforcement
resources. In the meantime, efforts are being made to maximize current deputies' capacity.
However, additional staffing will be necessary to manage the ordinance effectively.
With so many priorities, some Council members are concerned that staff are spread too thin and
pressuring them to say yes to all the Council's priorities. How can staff ensure that they are not
overextending themselves?
City staff are encouraged to be honest with leadership and the Council about the resources needed
to achieve each priority. The City is addressing this by using outcomes -based budgeting, assessing
total costs, and considering new fees to support efforts. This approach ensures effective resource
allocation and prevents unnecessary strain on staff.
How will the long-term financial strategy help educate the community about how the budget works
and communicate what is important to them?
The City will be discussing its long-term flnancial strategy on April 3, 2025, focusing on supporting
the 2025 tax initiative. Staff will identify key communication channels and engage the community in
the second and third quarters of this year to discuss service delivery trade-offs, evaluate existing
programs, and explore improvements.
How will the budgeting process change with the implementation of outcome-based budgeting, and
how will Council members be involved?
• The City is starting its budgeting process for 2026 with a focus on proactive engagement,
starting this April and May.
• Departments will begin working on their budgets, and previous Council input will help guide
this process. Staff will continue developing the budgets during the Council's break and will
present them for review in August.
How are food systems incorporated into the city’s climate work?
Food systems are not currently within the scope of Boulder's climate initiatives, and priorities need
to be balanced. However, there are regenerative components related to food and agriculture that
could be part of the conversation about trade-offs in the future.
How can Council members best express appreciation for all that City of Boulder staff do?
Staff appreciate when Council members acknowledge their efforts in meetings and when individual
Council members send personal notes of thanks to them or Nuria. Showing staff grace and
understanding during delays is also highly valued.
Could the City reconsider renaming the concept of "15-minute neighborhoods," especially when
elements like food, energy, and materials systems are not part of this concept? Otherwise, the
concept could be perceived as a self-contained system, which would be untrue.
A previous community assembly on the matter discussed the idea of flnding a better name for "15-
minute neighborhoods." The general conclusion was that the phrase is ingrained in the existing
plan. The concept is primarily related to mobility, not all aspects of life, and there will be a more
detailed explanation in future conversations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider whether to call up the
Planning Board’s decision on an application for a Site Review to redevelop a site with
residential uses and a ground floor commercial space. On March 18, 2025, the Planning
Board held a public rehearing and voted 7-0 to approve the application with conditions.
The Planning Board decision is subject to a 30-day City Council call up period, which
concludes on April 17, 2025. City Council is scheduled to consider this application for
call-up at its meeting on April 17, 2025.
The staff memorandum to Planning Board and the applicant’s submittal materials along
with other related background materials are available on the Records Archive for the
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 1

Planning Board. The applicant’s plan set and written statement is provided in
Attachment C. The recorded video from the hearings can be found below:
• February 18, 2025 hearing (item begins 1 hour 38 minutes into the video).
• March 18, 2025 re-hearing (item begins 38 minutes into the video)
REVIEW PROCESS
The purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider whether to call up the above-
referenced application for review and comment at a public hearing.
Per Section 9-2-14, B.R.C. 1981, the project requires Concept Plan and Site Review
because development exceeds 50,000 square feet of floor area in size for the BMS zone
and 30,000 square feet of floor area in size for the BT-1 zone. A Use Review is also
required for ground floor residential uses in a BT-1 zone. The Concept Plan was
presented to Planning Board in May 2024 and was not called up by City Council.
Because the project requires a height modification and includes a request to establish
vested rights, the Site Review application requires a staff recommendation and final
decision by the Planning Board at a public hearing, subject to call-up by City Council.
Site Reviews are subject to the Site Review criteria in Section 9-2-14, B.R.C. 1981. The
Use Reviews are subject to the criteria in Section 9-2-15(e), B.R.C. 1981. The proposed
amendments to the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) are reviewed and approved
administratively by staff.
BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEDBACK
At the public hearing on February 18, 2025, the Planning Board held a quasi-judicial
hearing to review the proposed Site Review and Use Review applications for the
development of a residential development with ground floor commercial uses. Following
staff and application presentations and a public hearing, K. Norback made a motion
seconded by C. Hanson Thiem to approve the applications. Four amendments to the
motion were proposed. The first two amendments failed, which included a denial of the
height modification request and a conversion of at least 50% of the frontage on 30th Street
to be commercial, neighborhood serving uses. The next two amendments passed, which
included a revision of the 30th Street façade to clearly identify entrances with
architectural features and removing the language “where possible” from the
transportation demand management plan (TDM) as it relates to SUMP principles (shared,
unbundled, managed and paid). Planning Board then voted 3-3 (M. Roberts absent) on
the overall motion to approve the Site and Use Reviews, resulting in a failed motion.
In the case of a tie vote, the Planning Board Procedural Board Rules state that a failure to
receive an affirmative vote of four members on a second motion results in a defeat of the
item and that the applicant may request a rehearing. Without having four affirmative
votes for an approval, M. McIntyre made a motion seconded by K. Nordback to continue
the item for preparation of denial findings. Planning Board directed staff to return with
draft finding of denial for the board’s consideration on March 18, 2025.
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 2
Packet Page 168 of 568
The applicant requested a rehearing in writing within seven days, as permitted by the
Rules, rather than proceed with the discussion of denial findings. At the re-hearing on
March 18, 2025, the Planning Board held another quasi-judicial hearing to review the
subject project. The Board discussed the project’s consistency with Site and Use Review
criteria and TVAP and made recommendations for additional conditions. Following a
public hearing, the Planning Board approved the applications with conditions by a 7-0
vote with the following motions:
On a motion by M. McIntyre and seconded by K. Nordback, the Planning Board voted 7-
0 to approve Site Review application #LUR2024-00047 and Use Review application
#LUR2024-00065, adopting the staff memorandum as findings of fact, including the
attached analysis of review criteria, and subject to the recommended conditions of
approval, as amended by the Planning Board.
On a motion by L. Kaplan and seconded by M. Robles, the Planning Board voted 7-0 to
amend the original motion to require at least 50% of the frontage along 30th Street be
commercial uses open to the public, as approved by staff at the time of Technical
Document review and modifying the parking reduction percentage as appropriate.
On a motion by L. Kaplan made a motion and seconded by K. Nordback, the Planning
Board voted 7-0 to amend the original motion to require that the architecture clearly
identify the entrances along 30th Street to the satisfaction of staff at the time of Technical
Document review.
On a motion by L. Kaplan and seconded by M. Roberts, the Planning Board voted 7-0 to
amend the original motion to require SUMP principles for all parking, and the language
“where possible,” be stricken from the TDM plan.
On a motion by L. Kaplan and seconded by J. Boone, the Planning Board voted 4-3 to
amend the original motion requiring the 30th Street frontage be no more than 3 stories for
at least a consistent depth with the street-front spaces on the ground floor, maintaining
the gabled roof form, to align with the 30th Street character district and the Site Review
criterion that the project align with the subcommunity plan, to the satisfaction of staff at
the time of Technical Document review.
Three additional motions were made proposing conditions of approval that failed and
were not incorporated into the approval. The first additional motion was to lower 25% of
the elevated courtyard to the ground level. The second additional motion was to amend
the amendment language above from “the 30th Street frontage” to read “the 30th Street
frontage south of the stairwell.” The third additional motion was to restore the 30th
Street frontage to four stories. All three of these motions failed. Ultimately, the Planning
Board approved the application subject to the conditions of approval as recommended by
staff and the conditions detailed in the motions above.

PUBLIC FEEDBACK
Consistent with Section 9-4-3, “Public Notice Requirements,” B.R.C. 1981, staff
provided notification to all property owners within 600 feet of the subject location of the
application, and signs have been posted by the applicant. Staff received several comments
from neighboring property owners as part of the Site Review application. Members of the
public also spoke at the public hearing on February 18, 2025 and March 18, 2025. Some
neighbors expressed support for the project while others expressed concern about the
requested height and the possible off-site path crossing city-owned property located to the
south and west of the site. Written comments are included as Attachment F.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The staff memorandum to Planning Board that includes staff analysis and the applicant’s
submittal materials are available on the Records Archive for the Planning Board.
MATRIX OF OPTIONS
The City Council may call up the Site Review and Use Review applications within thirty
days of the Planning Board’s review. Any application that it calls up, the City Council
will review at a public meeting within sixty days of the call-up vote, or within such other
time as the city and the applicant mutually agree. The City Council is scheduled to
consider this application for call-up at its meeting on April 17, 2025.

Board Comments:
03:53:21
Key Issue #1: Is the proposed project consistent with the Site Review Criteria of the Land Use Code
section 9-2-14(h), B.R.C. 1981, including the Additional Criteria for Buildings Requiring Height
Modification?
Key Issue #2: Is the proposed vehicular parking reduction consistent with Parking Reduction Criteria of
the Land Use Code section 9-9-6(f), B.R.C. 1981, as well as applicable Site Review criteria?
Key Issue #3: Is the proposal consistent with the vision for the area as shown in the Transit Village Area
Plan?
C. Hanson Thiem agrees with the staff analysis and believes the project is consistent with the BVCP,
and noted that it supports core policies that encourage infill and compact development, the jobs/housing
balance, and walkable, connected neighborhoods. She believes it satisfies Site Review Criteria. She also
believes it meets requirements for height modification, noting that she believes it preserves mountain
views from public spaces. She believes the application is consistent with the Parking Reduction Criteria.
She is unsure about full consistency with the TVAP plan, but noted that it contributes to the vision for
the neighborhood by adding housing units and variety, and continuing to build out grid of mobility
connections.
L. Kaplan noted that there is a lot to like about this project, but noted that the board needs to be careful
when considering making exemptions to city code and plans. She is wary about setting a precedent that a
resident-serving commercial amenity is the same thing as having an active commercial space that serves
the neighborhood. She believes this is an important component of achieving the TVAP’s vision of 30th
Street as a main street business area. She believes the application generally meets the site review criteria,
but is concerned about consistency with the subcommunity plan. For the height modification, she does
not believe that it meets the criterion relating to form and massing being consistent with the character
established in adopted plans and guidelines. She had other concerns about the visibility of entrances
from the public realm and the lack of a ground level courtyard.

Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 13
Packet Page 179 of 568
J. Boone agreed with the views expressed by L. Kaplan. He agrees that the building is too massive and
needs some additional permeability. He doesn’t believe the board should be giving any leniency for this
application on commercial space requirements.
K. Nordback agreed with comments from C. Hanson Thiem. He supported the general architectural
design and appreciated the relative simplicity. He appreciated that the entry grade at 30th Street was
lowered. He believes the reduced setback on 30th Street is appropriate to make it feel more connected to
the street and active. He understands Laura’s concerns relating to height and consistency with the
TVAP, but believes the TVAP is intended more as a guiding document for determining consistency with
the site review criteria. He feels the parking reduction is appropriate. He is concerned about the
proposed location of the path to the west, and would like to see a bridge, which he understands may not
be feasible.
Ml Robles agreed with L. Kaplan’s concerns related to TVAP consistency.
M. McIntyre noted that it seems unrealistic to mandate that an applicant put ground-level retail space in
an area surrounded by vacant ground-level retail. He finds that it is consistent with the height
modification criteria and the parking reduction criteria. He finds it generally consistent with the TVAP
plan, with the acknowledgement that the plan has allowances for variance. He has concerns with the
architecture and the extruded roof form.
MOTION: K Nordback made motion seconded by C. Hanson Thiem to approve Site Review
application LUR2024-00047 and Use Review application LUR2024-00065, adopting the staff
memorandum as findings of fact, including the attached analysis of review criteria and subject to the
recommended conditions of approval, as amended by the Planning Board on February 18, 2025.
Planning Board voted 3-3 (L. Kaplan, ml Robles, J. Boone dissenting). Motion failed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion seconded by ml Robles to amend the site review approval to
remove the approval for the height modification. Planning Board voted 3-3 (C Hanson Thiem, K.
Nordback, M. McIntyre dissenting). Motion failed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion seconded by J. Boone to amend the approval to require that
at least 50% of the ground floor uses along the 30th St. frontage be commercial neighborhood-
serving uses. Planning Board voted 3-3 (C Hanson Thiem, K. Nordback, M. McIntyre dissenting).
Motion failed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion seconded by K. Nordback to amend the approval to require
architectural emphasis and identification of all entrances along 30th street, to the satisfaction of staff.
(5:03.) Planning Board voted 6-0. Motion passed.

required for all parking and the language “where possible” be stricken from the TDM Plan.. (5:08)

Board Comments:
Key Issue #1: Is the proposed project consistent with the Site Review Criteria of the Land Use Code
section 9-2-14(h), B.R.C. 1981, including the Additional Criteria for Buildings Requiring Height
Modification?
Key Issue #2: Is the proposed vehicular parking reduction consistent with Parking Reduction Criteria of
the Land Use Code section 9-9-6(f), B.R.C. 1981, as well as applicable Site Review criteria?
Key Issue #3: Is the proposal consistent with the vision for the area as shown in the Transit Village Area
Plan?
M. Roberts believes the proposed project is consistent with the Site Review criteria, including the
height modification. He believes the proposed parking reduction is consistent with the criteria in the
Land Use Code. He also believes it is consistent with the TVAP, a concern that left the board tied 3-3 on
relevant votes at the prior hearing.
C. Hanson Thiem believes the project is consistent with the BVCP, noting that it supports infill and
compact development, jobs/housing balance, and the creation of connected, walkable neighborhoods.
She believes the proposed modifications to the access and transportation connections improve on the
grid proposed in the TVAP. She believes it is consistent with the Height Modification criteria, noting
that it preserves mountain views from public spaces and orients common areas of the development
towards mountain views. She supports the parking reduction. She agrees with staff analysis that the
proposal meets the Use Review criteria for ground-floor residential uses, noting that the ground-floor
uses mimic commercial and office uses.
L. Kaplan believes staff and some of her colleagues are permitting too much flexibility in the
interpretation of codes and plans, believing that the board has a stricter duty to uphold criteria-based
decisions. There are many components of this project that she would love to approve, but she does not
believe that it meets several necessary criteria. She believes approval of this project in its current state
supports the abandonment of the 30th Street business main street concept in the TVAP plan.
Ml Robles agreed with many of the views expressed by L. Kaplan. She does not believe the height
modification fits the character of the area of the west side of 30th Street and that it could create a
dangerous precedent for the future of the area. She is also concerned with undermining the intent of the
TVAP in the area.
M. McIntyre noted that he believes this project fits the goals of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive
Plan. He noted that the function of the site towards meeting overall city goals is much greater than the
current benefit offered by the existing car dealership. He believes the application meets the site review
criteria and parking reduction, and he believes that it is consistent with the intent and goals of the TVAP.

Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 18
Packet Page 184 of 568
K. Nordback believes the project is consistent with the Site Review Criteria, including the height
modification. He believes it meets the Use Review Criteria. He recognized that the TVAP is a useful
guiding plan, but that it was created under a much different global context. In sum, he feels that the
project is consistent with the TVAP, as viewed in the current global context and current city goals.
J. Boone noted that the project is being presented by many colleagues as a binary decision between
housing and a car dealership. He believes that a few changes could bring the project into compliance
with the criteria while still providing a great housing opportunity for Boulder.
MOTION: M. McIntyre made a motion seconded by K. Nordback to approve Site Review application
#LUR2024-00047 and Use Review application #LUR2024-00065, adopting the staff memorandum as
findings of fact, including the attached analysis of review criteria, and subject to the recommended
conditions of approval as amended by the Planning Board. Planning Board voted 7-0. Motion passed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion to amend seconded by ml Robles that at least 50% of the
frontage along 30th Street be commercial uses open to the public, as approved by staff at the
time of Tec. Doc., and modifying the parking reduction percentage as appropriate. Planning
Board voted 7-0. Motion passed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion to amend seconded by ml Robles that 25% of the
elevated courtyard along the south frontage be lowered to ground level to provide gathering
space for building users to comply with the additional requirements for height modification, as
approved by staff at the time of Tec. Doc., with any appropriate changes to the parking
modification. Planning Board voted 1-6 (all board members dissenting except L. Kaplan).
Motion failed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion seconded by K. Nordback to amend the main motion to
require that the architecture clearly identify the entrances along 30th Street to the satisfaction of
staff at the time of Tec. Doc. Planning Board voted 7-0. Motion passed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion to amend seconded by M. Roberts that SUMP principles
are required for all parking, and the language “where possible,” is stricken from the TDM plan.
Planning Board voted 7-0. Motion passed.
MOTION: L. Kaplan made a motion to amend seconded by J. Boone that the 30th Street
frontage be no more than 3 stories for at least a consistent depth with the street-front spaces on
the ground floor, maintaining the gabled roof form, in order to align with the 30th Street
Character district and the Site Review criterion that the project align with the subcommunity
plan, to the satisfaction of staff at the time of Tec. Doc. Planning Board voted 4-3. Motion
passed.
MOTION: K. Nordback made a motion seconded by M. McIntyre to amend the
above amendment to change “the 30th Street frontage” to read “the 30th Street frontage
south of the stairwell”. Planning Board voted 3-4 (ml Robles, L. Kaplan, M. Roberts, J.
Boone dissenting). Motion failed.

All tree protection standards of Ch. 3 and 10 of the Design and Construction Standards shall be
met with particular attention given to grading impacts, limitations of stockpiling, soil compaction
prevention and vehicular routes. Tree protection fencing shall be installed prior to any site
disturbance and remain in place for the duration of the project. Only hand digging may occur
within the dripline of any tree to be preserved. Provide sufficient irrigation throughout construction
to maintain the long term health of the tree(s).
At the time of Building Permit (final technical documents), a detailed ash tree management plan
prepared by an arborist licensed in the City of Boulder will be provided, addressing the treatment or
proposed removal and replacement of all existing ash trees. This will include a plan and narrative
describing the following:
a. identify a replacement species & size for each location
b. a description and commitment to a timeframe for replacement.
c. street trees are shown to be removed and replaced as part of this Site Review application
The Ash on private property may be identified for a phased removal and replacement depending on
size and condition. The phased approach should include annual inspection by a certified arborist to
ensure prompt removal if condition declines, trees smaller than 10” trunk diameter should be removed
and replaced concurrent with the permit.

DATE: February 4, 2025
CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL SITE REVIEW APPLICATIONS
(1)Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) criteria: Meets criteria
(A) BVCP Land Use Map and Policies: Yes
The proposed project is consistent with the BVCP land use map and, on balance, with the goals and
policies of the BVCP particularly those that address the built environment. In applying this, the approving
authority shall consistently interpret and apply this criterion and consider whether a particular goal or
policy is intended to be applied to individual development projects or is to guide city policy decisions,
such as regulatory actions. The BVCP does not prioritize goals and policies, and no project must satisfy
one particular goal or policy or all of them.
Staff Response:
The BVCP land use map designates the property “Mixed-Use Business” which is described as:
Staff finds that the proposal is consistent with the following BVCP policies:
•1.10 Growth Requirements
•1.11 Jobs: Housing Balance
•1.22 Channeling Development to Areas with Adequate Infrastructure
•2.03 Compact Development Pattern
•2.24 Commitment to a Walkable and Accessible City
•2.33 Sensitive Infill and Redevelopment
(B) Subcommunity and Area Plans or Design Guidelines: Yes
If the project is subject to an adopted subcommunity or area plan or adopted design guidelines, the
project is consistent with the applicable plan and guidelines.
Staff Response:
The site is located within the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) Phase 1. Per TVAP, this area is designated as
the “30th Street Corridor District,” which is intended to provide a mix of commercial and residential uses in
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 80
Packet Page 246 of 568
two- and three-story buildings located adjacent to the street. Further, the vision of the area as specified in
the plan is to transform 30th Street into a business main street that serves the neighborhood and
introduces a pedestrian-friendly street front. Additional objects include a mixed-use land designation, new
residential and diverse housing, and connection to the natural and built environment.
To align with aspects of the plan, the project incorporates ground floor commercial uses to activate the
pedestrian realm and provide a mix of uses.. A commercial tenant space is proposed for the southeast
corner including outdoor seating in a patio area. The ground floor façade along 30th Street is comprised of
residential uses including a coworking space, leasing offices, and mail rooms. Though considered a
residential use, the operating characteristics of these areas function like a non-residential use. The building
design in transparent with façade recessions to activate the ground floor and create a welcoming
pedestrian experience for residents, visitors, and employees.
Although it exceeds the height and FAR of the MU-1 land use prototype identified in the plan, the project’s
design meets the plan’s intent with a varied façade and gabled roofline to respect the guidelines and add a
relief to the density and height.
In alignment with TVAP, parking is screened from the street and located partially below grade and fully
enclosed within the structure.
The applicant is coordinating with city staff to develop a multi-use connection between the subject site,
city-owned greenway, and the larger network to better integrate the site with the natural and built
environment.

(G)Environmental Preservation: N/A
Staff Response:
The site is already developed and contains some mature trees. Existing trees will be preserved where
practical. The proposal does not involve any impacts to natural features. No endangered species have
been discovered on-site to-date nor documented in municipal publications such as the Critical Wildlife
Habitats and Migration Corridors map.
Excavation is required for the proposed parking. The finished floor elevations of the east and west edges of
the project were designed to conform to the natural slope of the site.
(i)The project provides for the preservation of or mitigation of adverse impacts to natural features,
including, without limitation, healthy long-lived trees, significant plant communities, ground and
surface water, wetlands, riparian areas, drainage areas, and species on the federal Endangered
Species List and "Species of Special Concern in Boulder County" designated by Boulder County and
their habitat. Yes
(ii)Where excavation occurs, the location and design of buildings conforms to the natural contours of
the land with tiered floor plates, and the site design avoids over-engineered tabling of land. Slopes
greater than 50 percent should be avoided and, to the extent practicable, any such areas shall be
stabilized with vegetation. Yes
(2)Site Design Criteria: Meets criteria

Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 82
Packet Page 248 of 568
attractiveness of the project; and meets the needs of the anticipated residents, occupants, tenants, and visitors
to the project. Landscaping aesthetically enhances the project, minimizes use of water, is sustainable, and
improves the quality of the environment. Operational elements are screened to mitigate negative visual
impacts. In determining whether this is met, the approving agency will consider the following factors:
(A)Access, Transportation, and Mobility:
(i)The project enables or provides vehicular and pedestrian connectivity between sites consistent with
adopted connections plans relative to the transportation needs and impacts of the project, including
but not limited to construction of new streets, bike lanes, on-street parking, sidewalks, multi-use
paths, transit stops, streetscape planting strips, and dedication of public right-of-way or public access
easements, as applicable considering the scope of the project. Where no adopted connections plan
applies, the applicant shall, in good faith, and in coordination with the city manager, attempt to
coordinate with adjacent property owners to establish, where practicable, reasonable and useful
pedestrian connections or vehicular circulation connections, such as between parking lots on abutting
properties, considering existing connections, infrastructure, and topography. Yes
Staff Response:
As required by TVAP, the project will dedicate an 8-foot-wide public access easement along 30th Street
to accommodate 30th Street improvements including a buffered bike lane, a 10-foot-wide sidewalk,
and 8.5-foot tree lawn. These street improvements enable safe connectivity for pedestrians and
bicycles from other sites along 30th Street.
The project will also amend the existing connections plan in TVAP to convert two secondary street
connections along the southern and western boundary into multi-use paths. The applicant is
proposing new multi-use connections along a portion of the western edge and southern edge of the
site and crossing onto city-owned property to the south to link 30th St. to the Goose Creek bike path
network to the west. A public access easement will be dedicated for the portions of these connections
on the subject site.
(ii)Alternatives to the automobile are promoted by incorporating site design techniques, land use
patterns, and infrastructure that support and encourage walking, biking, and other alternatives to the
single-occupant vehicle. Yes
Staff Response:
As described above, the applicant, in partnership with the city, is constructing a multi-use path along a
portion of southern and western edges of the property and onto city-owned property to the south and
west. The accessible path encourages residents and visitors of the site to utilize alternative forms of
transportation. Enhanced pedestrian infrastructure along the 30th Street right-of-way will include a
buffered bike lane and detached sidewalk. The multi-use path, right-of-way improvements, and other
on-site amenities like a bike patio with maintenance and washing stations will improve the pedestrian
and bike network while encouraging walking and biking as alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle.
(iii)A transportation demand management (TDM) plan will be complied with including methods that
result in a significant shift away from single-occupant vehicle use to alternate modes. Yes
Staff Response:
A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan was provided that includes the following
measures:
-Short- and long-term bicycle parking provided and on-site bicycle commuter amenities.
-EcoPass program for residents and employees for the commercial space.
-Dedicated carshare.
-On-site fitness facilities and coworking space to reduce vehicle trips.
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 83
Packet Page 249 of 568
-Bike fleet for use by residents.
(iv)Streets, bikeways, pedestrian ways, trails, open space, buildings, and parking areas are designed and
located to optimize safety of all modes and provide connectivity and functional permeability through
the site. Yes
Staff Response:
Vehicles access the site via the singular driveway and can park in the parking garage or to the north of
the building. The one vehicle access point minimizes potential conflicts with other users who have
alternative access points. For instance, primary pedestrian access is from the 30th St. right-of-way with
additional residential access from the south. Distinct building access points are located on all sides of
the building and are separate from vehicular traffic. Bikes can access the site from 30th St. and the
adjacent multi-use path to the south and west. Pedestrian and bike access ties into proposed on-site
open space, adjacent and off-site open space, and existing bike infrastructure to the east and west of
the site.
(v)The design of vehicular circulation and parking areas make efficient use of the land and minimize the
amount of pavement necessary to meet the circulation and parking needs of the project. Yes
Staff Response:
Because of the single vehicle access point and integrated parking within the structure, minimal
pavement is used for circulation. Some surface parking is located to the north of the development. The
site is primarily comprised of building area, open space, and landscaping.
(vi)Where practicable and needed in the area and subject to coordination with the city manager, the
project provides curbside parking or loading or both consistent with city policies on curbside
management. N/A
Staff Response:
N/A; curbside parking or loading is not needed to serve the site.
(B)Open Space:
(i)Useable open space is arranged to be accessible and designed to encourage use by incorporating
quality landscaping, a mixture of sun and shade, hardscape areas and green spaces for gathering. Yes
Staff Response:
The development is oriented around a central courtyard that provides hardscape areas in the form of
an outdoor exercise area, pool, community garden, outdoor kitchen, and various seating areas. Other
hardscape amenity areas include a bike patio along the multi-use path connection with bike
maintenance and wash stations. Supplementary gathering areas are located to the west of the
building. Hardscape areas are mixed with green spaces including central turf and landscaping and
shrub beds throughout the courtyard and along the edges of the site. Users of the site have access to
shaded areas to gather under the pergola of the outdoor kitchen. The courtyard and a fourth floor
viewing balcony provide access to sun. Quality landscaping is proposed along all edges of the
development to buffer the site from adjacent uses.
(ii)The open space will meet the needs of the anticipated residents, occupants, tenants, and visitors of
the property. In mixed-use projects, the open space provides for a balance of private and common
areas for the residential uses and includes common open space that is available for use by residents
of the residential uses and their visitors and by tenants, occupants, customers, and visitors of the
non-residential uses. Yes
Staff Response:
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 84
Packet Page 250 of 568
A variety of open space areas are provided for the use of residents, tenants, and visitors. A commercial
tenant space with seating is located along the 30th St. right-of-way and is accessible to public and
building residents.
Residents and their visitors have access to the central courtyard with amenities including a pool,
outdoor fitness area, community garden, covered outdoor kitchen, bike patio, and a variety of seating
areas. Seating and gathering spaces are also proposed on the western corner of the site. Further, each
residential unit has a private patio or balcony that is separated from the public realm by fence
dividers.
(iii)If the project includes more than 50 dwelling units, including the addition of units that causes a
project to exceed this threshold, and is more than one mile walking distance to a public park with any
of the amenities described herein, at least 30 percent of the required outdoor open space is designed
for active recreational purposes. Yes
Staff Response:
The project contains more than 50 dwellings that are less than one mile from a public park (Mapleton
Ball Fields). The project is also just over a mile from Columbine Park.
(iv)On-site open space is linked to adjacent public spaces, multi-use paths, city parks, or public open
space if consistent with Department of Open Space and Mountain Parks or Department of Parks and
Recreation plans and planning for the area, as applicable. Yes
Staff Response:
Users of the site will have direct connection to the adjacent Goose Creek path and greenway via the
proposed multi-use path connection to the south of the site. The central courtyard and some
residential access has been designed to orient towards the adjacent greenspace to allow for
permeability between adjacent properties and through the subject site. Additional open space areas
will be near the Goose Creek greenway on the western edge of the site. Attractive landscaping,
terracing, and a stairway integrate the subject development with existing and adjacent natural
features, as encouraged by TVAP.
(C)Landscaping and Screening:
(i)The project exceeds the minimum landscaping requirements of Section 9-9-12, “Landscaping and
Screening Standards,” B.R.C. 1981, by at least fifteen percent in terms of planting quantities, includes
a commensurate area to accommodate the additional plantings, and, where practical, preserves
healthy long-lived trees. Yes
Staff Response:
The project exceeds the requirements for trees and shrubs (6 street trees where 5 are required, 28 site
trees where 24 are required, and over 150 shrubs where 121 are required.) The area dedicated for
parking lot landscaping is 722 square feet where 693 square feet are required. Where practical,
healthy long-lived trees are preserved. However, some tree removal is necessary to allow for site
redevelopment.
(ii)The landscaping design includes a variety of plants providing a variety of colors and contrasts in terms
of texture and seasonality and high-quality hard surface materials, such as stone, flagstone, porous
pavers, and decorative concrete. Yes
Staff Response:
The submitted planting schedule shows a variety of perennial plants in varying colors like yellow, blue,
and purple. Perennials are contrasted with grasses and deciduous shrubs. Proposed trees include both
aesthetic ornamental and functional shade trees. Additional textures are incorporated using concrete
scored with two different colors.
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 85
Packet Page 251 of 568
A total of 10 different species of perennials, 10 species of ornamental grasses, 21 species of deciduous
shrubs, 6 species of ornamental trees, 5 species of shade trees, and 1 species of evergreen trees are
specified.
(iii)The landscaping design conserves water through use of native and adaptive plants, reduction of
exotic plant materials, and landscaping within stormwater detention facilities to create bioswales or
rain gardens, or other similar design strategies. Yes
Staff Response:
Natural species are proposed throughout the project to conserve water. Native seed mixes, climate
appropriate ground covers, and low-water use plants are proposed. Rain gardens are planted with
pollinator garden seeds to turn functional spaces into landscape elements. The project does not
contain any high-water use plants.
(iv)Operational elements, such as electrical transformers, trash storage and recycling areas, parking, and
vehicular circulation, are screened from the public realm through design elements, such as
landscaping, fencing, or placement of structures, to mitigate negative visual impacts. Yes
Staff Response:
Trash is located within the structure. Parking is screened within the confines of the building and
surface parking is screened with landscaping. Other surface level areas dedicated to vehicle circulation
and utility transformers are screened with landscaped buffers or located internally when possible.
(3) Building Siting and Design Criteria: Meets criteria
Building siting and design are consistent with the character established in any adopted plans or guidelines
applicable to the site or, if none apply, are compatible with the character of the area or improves upon that
character, consistent with the intent specified in this paragraph. Buildings are positioned and oriented towards
the public realm to promote a safe and vibrant pedestrian experience including welcoming, well-defined entries
and facades. Building exteriors are designed with a long-lasting appearance and high-quality materials. Building
design is simple and to a human scale, it creates visual interest and a vibrant pedestrian experience. Building
roof design contributes to a city skyline that has a variety of roof forms and heights. In determining whether this
is met, the approving agency will consider the following factors:
(A)Building Siting and Public Realm Interface:
(i)New buildings and, to the extent practicable, additions to existing buildings are positioned towards
the street, respecting the existing conditions or the context anticipated by adopted plans or
guidelines. In urban contexts, buildings are positioned close to the property line and sidewalk along a
street; whereas, in lower intensity contexts, a greater landscaped setback may be provided to match
the surrounding context. Yes
Staff Response:
The surrounding area is urban with developments positioned close to the street to create an active
streetscape. The site is in an area with ground floor commercial and residential uses located near
shopping centers and transit hubs. Additionally, the area is designated in TVAP as a commercial
corridor that encourages active uses and buildings that engage with the public realm. The proposed
development is positioned close to right-of-way to match the existing conditions and meet the intent
of TVAP. The eastern façade also incorporates high levels of transparency, a recessed entry, and
commercial ground floor space to create a welcoming entry that interacts with the public realm.
(ii)Wherever practical considering the scope of the project, parking areas are located behind buildings or
set back further from the streetscape than the building façade. Yes
Staff Response:
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 86
Packet Page 252 of 568
Parking is primarily located below the building and away from the public realm. However, there are 60
surface parking spaces to the north of the building. The site design places surface parking away from
the greenway and open space to the south and instead situated near the building and closer to higher
intensity uses.
(iii)Along the public realm, building entries are emphasized by windows and architectural features that
include one or more of the following: increased level of detail, protruding or recessed elements,
columns, pilasters, protruding bays, reveals, fins, ribs, balconies, cornices, eaves, increased window
glazing, or changes in building materials or color. Yes
Staff Response:
The main entry is located along 30th Street and is emphasized by a high percentage of glazing,
recessed entry, shift in material, and architectural features such as slanted support beams that are
protected with overhangs. The commercial space entry is also located along 30th Street on the
southeast corner of the building. A change to dark materials, increased glazing and storefront
windows, and an integrated awning emphasize the commercial entrance. Another private residential
entry point is located along the multi-use path, which is identifiable with a recessed portal and slanted
support beams.
(iv)Defined entries connect the building to the public realm. Unless inconsistent with the context and
building’s use, along the public realm, one defined entry is provided every 50 feet. Buildings designed
for residential or industrial uses may have fewer defined entries. Yes
Staff Response:
The façade along 30th St. contains three entries. The main entry point is defined by higher levels of
glazing, material changes, and a façade recession. This semi-public entry point leads to the lobby from
the public realm and provides access to leasing offices and a co-working space. There are two other
anchor entries on the 30th St. façade – the ground floor commercial space to the south and a semi-
public residential entry to the north. Both anchor entries are defined by storefront glazing. There is a
private residential entry on the southern side adjacent to the multi-use path. There are fewer entries
along the southern façade consistent with the characteristics of residential uses.
(v)If the project is adjacent to a zoning district of lower intensity in terms of allowable use, density,
massing, or scale, the project is designed with an appropriate transition to the adjacent properties
considering adopted subcommunity and area plans or design guidelines applicable to the site, and, if
none apply, the existing development pattern. Appropriate transitions may be created through
design elements such as building siting and design or open space siting and design. Yes
Staff Response:
The parcels immediately adjacent to the project are zoned BMS and BT-1 with one parcel to the north
also split-zoned between BMS and BT-1. The project is not adjacent to a zoning district of lower
intensity. The BMS and BT-1 zones are considered a similar intensity in terms of allowable uses, FAR,
and open space.
(vi)The building’s siting and relationship to the public realm is consistent with the character established
in any adopted plans or guidelines applicable to the site or, if none apply, is compatible with the
character of the area or improves upon that character, consistent with the intent of paragraph (3),
Building Design Criteria. Yes
Staff Response:
See response to criterion (i) above. TVAP has identified the subject site as the 30th St Corridor District
and envisions a business main street that introduces a pedestrian-friendly street front. The building’s
siting close to the public realm, as well as design elements like higher levels of glazing, outdoor
seating, a commercial tenant space, and recessed main entry aligns with the plan’s goals for a
pedestrian friendly and activated street front.
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 87
Packet Page 253 of 568
(B) Building Design:
(i)Larger floor plate buildings and projects with multiple buildings have a variety of forms and heights.
Yes
Staff Response:
The building form has been designed to appear like three masses: two “wings” that run north/south
and a “hyphen” that connects the two wings running east/west. The building form is distinct for each
of the three masses. For instance, the two wings have gabled roofs and are cladded with blue siding
accentuated with wood insets. The “hyphen” has a largely flat roof with a parapet of varying heights
and façade recessions. The primary building cladding for the hyphen is wood-look siding. The three
masses are further distinguished by a change to black composite siding to create a joint and reinforce
the appearance of separate masses. Ground floor material changes and façade recessions express the
different building forms and features.
(ii)To the extent practical considering their function, mechanical appurtenances are located within or
concealed by the building. If they cannot be located within or concealed by the building, their
visibility from the public realm and adjacent properties is minimized. Yes
Staff Response:
Mechanical appurtenances will be central to the roof to reduce visual impact from the ground level.
The parapets along this portion of the roof as well as mechanical screening will further reduce
visibility.
(iii)On each floor of the building, windows create visual interest, transparency, and a sense of connection
to the public realm. In urban, pedestrian main street-built environments, it is a best practice to design
at least 60 percent of each ground floor façade facing the street as window area. Otherwise, it is a
best practice to design at least 20 percent of the wall on each floor of a building as window area.
Blank walls along the most visible portions of the building are avoided. Yes
Staff Response:
The primary entrance along 30th Street contains a high level of glazing to create a sense of connection
to the public realm and draw attention to the semi-public entrance. The commercial corner on the
southeast corner also contains high levels of glazing along 30th St and the adjacent multi-use path.
Where practical, ground floor public fronting walls contain high levels of transparency. Small windows
are proposed within the storage and mechanical areas along the multi-use path to avoid blank walls
while maintaining an appropriate amount of transparency for the use. Floors above the ground floor
have been designed with an appropriate amount of transparency for residential uses.
(iv)Simple detailing is incorporated into the façades to create visual interest, without making the façade
overly complicated. This detailing may include cornices, belt courses, reveals, alternating brick or
stone patterns, expression line offsets, window lintels and sills, and offsets in window glass from
surrounding materials. Yes
Staff Response:
Visual interest is achieved with the inclusion of façade recessions, change in materials to accentuate
entries, higher levels of glazing, and support columns. Details create visual interest along the public
realm while also calling attention to entries and change in building form.
(v)Balconies on buildings with attached dwelling units are integrated into the form of the building in
that exterior walls partially enclose the balcony. Balcony platform undersides are finished. Yes
Staff Response:
Where proposed, balconies are all partially enclosed within the form of the building. Per response
from the applicant, the balcony platform undersides will be finished.
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 88
Packet Page 254 of 568
(vi)The building’s design, including but not limited to use of materials, color, roof forms, and style, is
consistent with the character established in any adopted plans or guidelines applicable to the site or,
if none apply, is compatible with the character of the area or improves upon that character,
consistent with the intent of paragraph (3), Building Design Criteria. Yes
Staff Response:
As indicated previously, the site is located within TVAP and therefore subject to additional objectives
guidelines. The plan does not provide guidance on materials or colors but does encourage building
design with a variety of building forms or uses. The proposed building design introduces a variety of
roof forms to provide a shift in appeared heights and density and align with the intent of the MU-1
land use prototype.
The plan also provides general guidelines for urban design. The project’s building placement and
design, permeability, open space, and parking is consistent with the character established in TVAP.
Building materials will also complement the surrounding developments, including brick buildings
across the street on the 30th St. and the wood-look siding of the Bluebird development to the south.
(C)Building Materials:
(i)Building facades are composed of high-quality, durable, human-scaled materials. High-quality
materials include brick, stone, polished concrete masonry units, wood, architectural high pressure
laminate panels, cementitious or composite siding, architectural metal panels, or any combination of
these materials. Split-faced concrete masonry units, stucco, vinyl siding, EIFS, and unfinished or
untreated wood are not considered durable, high-quality materials, but may be used on a limited
basis and not on facades facing the public realm. High quality materials are focused on the ground
floor facades on all sides of a building and on all floors of facades facing the public realm, and, overall,
comprise the vast majority of all building facades. Yes
Staff Response:
The material palette for the building façade is composed of metal panel, wood-look cementitious
siding, dark masonry, and asphalt shingles for gabled roof forms. High-quality and durable materials
are proposed for all building elevations. The material palette is consistent for allowable materials on
frontages.
(ii)Monolithic roofing membranes, like Thermoplastic Polyolefin, are not used on roof surfaces that are
visible from the street level. Yes
Staff Response:
As shown on the roof plans, areas with monolithic membrane roofs are not visible from the street due
to the flat roof and parapets. Gabled roof forms that are visible from the street level include asphalt
shingles.
(iii)The number of building material types is limited, and the building materials are applied to
complement the building form and function. The organization of the building materials logically
expresses primary building features, such as the spatial layout, building entries, private and common
spaces, anchor corners, stairwells, and elevators. Yes
Staff Response:
The material palette is limited and not overly complicated. The materials have also been organized to
express different features and uses. Metal panel is used for residential areas on the east and west
wings with wood-look cementitious siding in the insets. A change in material to dark cementitious
siding is used to create a “joint” between the three different masses. Public areas and areas that
interact the most with the public realm are represented by dark masonry on the ground floor. Along

FAR has been increased by 0.5 for a total FAR of 1.17.
(ii)In the BR-1 zoning district, maximum allowable floor area ratio (FAR) may be increased up to a 3.0
FAR. N/A
(C)Additional Criteria for a Height Bonus and Land Use Intensity Modifications: Yes
A building proposed with a fourth or fifth story or addition thereto that exceeds the permitted height
requirements of Section 9-7-5, "Building Height," or 9-7-6, "Building Height, Conditional," B.R.C. 1981,
together with any additional floor area or residential density approved under Subparagraph (h)(6)(B), may
be approved if it meets the requirements of this Subparagraph (h)(6)(C). For purposes of this
Subparagraph(h)(6)(C), bonus floor area shall mean floor area that is on a fourth or fifth story and is
partially or fully above the permitted height and any floor area that is the result of an increase in density
or floor area described in Subparagraph (h)(6)(B). The approving authority may approve a height up to
fifty-five feet if one of the following criteria is met:
(i)Residential Developments: If the development is residential, it will exceed the requirements of
Subparagraph 9-13-3(a)(1)(A), B.R.C. 1981, as follows: Yes
a.For bonus units, the inclusionary housing requirement under Chapter 9-13, “Inclusionary
Housing,” B.R.C. 1981, shall be increased by eleven percent. The resulting inclusionary
requirement may be satisfied by any option allowed in Chapter 9-13 to meet inclusionary
housing requirements. For example, if Chapter 9-13 requires twenty-five percent of units to be
permanently affordable, for bonus units that requirement is increased by eleven percent so that
at least thirty-six percent of the total number of bonus units must be permanently affordable
units. Yes
b.For purposes of this Subparagraph (i), bonus units shall mean a number of units that is
determined as follows: A percentage of all the units in the building that equals in number the
percentage of bonus floor area in the building. For example, if twenty percent of the building's
floor area is bonus floor area and the building has one hundred units, twenty percent of those
one hundred units are bonus units, resulting in twenty bonus units. Yes
c.The city manager shall review the development's compliance with this increased inclusionary
housing requirement pursuant to the standards and review procedures of Chapter 9-13,
"Inclusionary Housing," B.R.C. 1981. Yes

affordable housing portion of the capital facility impact fee in Section 4-20-62, B.R.C. 1981, at a rate
of 1.43 above the base requirement for the bonus floor area. In a building with several types of non-
residential uses, the bonus floor area of each type identified under Section 4-20-62, B.R.C. 1981, shall
be a percentage of the bonus floor area that equals in number the percentage of the total floor area
in the building of such use type. For nonresidential uses with a fee that is calculated per room or bed
under Section 4-20-62, B.R.C. 1981, the increased rate for the affordable housing portion of the fee
shall apply to bonus rooms or bonus beds as applicable under that section; the number of bonus
rooms or bonus beds shall be determined consistent with the methodology for bonus units in
Subparagraph (i)b. above. N/A
(iii)Mixed Use: If the development is a residential mixed-use development, the requirements of
Subsections (i) and (ii) above shall apply to the bonus floor area according to the percentage of the
total building floor area of each use. Yes

ADDITIONAL CRITERIA FOR PARKING REDUCTIONS OR LOCATION
(7)Additional Criteria for Parking Reductions: Meets criteria
The applicant demonstrates, and the approving authority finds, that any reduced parking on the site, if
applicable, meets the parking reduction criteria outlined in Section 9-9-6, "Parking Standards," B.R.C. 1981.
(A) Whether the probable number of all motor vehicles to be owned by occupants of and visitors to
dwelling units in the project will be adequately accommodated;
Staff Response:
The project is proposing a 6% parking reduction to allow for 145 parking spaces to be provided where 154
are required. The TDM Plan included with the application details strategies that will be used to reduce the
demand for automobile travel/ ownership, including provision of NECO passes for residents, required bike
parking and maintenance station, and dedicated carshare space. Overall, given the site’s location near
several major transit lines as well as within walking distance of many nearby services and businesses, it is
anticipated that the parking provided for residents on site will be adequate to accommodate the motor
vehicles to be owned by residents and visitors.
(B) The availability of off-street and nearby on-street parking;
Staff Response:
On-street parking is available on Bluff St., east of 30th St. as well as Bluff St. and 29th St. west of 30th St.
(C)Whether any proposed shared parking can adequately accommodate the parking needs of different
uses of the project considering daytime and nighttime variability of the parking needs of uses;
Staff Response:
On-site parking will be shared with residents of the development and those visiting the ground floor
commercial space.
(D) The effectiveness of any multimodal transportation program that is proposed at reducing the parking
needs of the project. Applications including such programs shall describe any existing or proposed
facilities and proximity to transit lines and shall demonstrate that use of multimodal transportation
options will continue to reduce the need for on-site parking on an ongoing basis;
Staff Response:
As noted in the TDM Plan, the site is situated in close proximity to multiple transit lines and multi-modal
transportation facilities, including sidewalks, multi-use paths, and transit stops. The applicant will provide
neighborhood eco-passes for residents for three years and will provide information on transit and other
multi-modal options to residents. The site is also well-situated to allow easy pedestrian and bicycle access
to nearby business areas and open space.

(E)If the number of off-street parking spaces is reduced because of the nature of the occupancy,
whether the applicant provides assurances that the nature of the occupancy will not change; and
Staff Response:
N/A; parking is not reduced due to nature of occupancy.
(F)If considering a parking reduction for a use nonconforming as to parking, the approving authority
shall evaluate the existing parking arrangement to determine whether it can accommodate
additional parking or be rearranged to accommodate additional parking in compliance with the
design requirements of subsection (d) of this section. If additional parking can reasonably be
provided, the provision of such parking shall be a condition of approval of the requested reduction.
Staff Response:
N/A; this is a new project and is not considered nonconforming to parking.
USE REVIEW
SECTION 9-2-15(e)
LUR2024-00065
CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL USE REVIEW APPLICATIONS
(e) Criteria For Review: Meets criteria
No use review application will be approved unless the approving agency finds all of the following:
(1) Rationale: Yes
The use either:
(A)Provides direct service or convenience to or reduces adverse impacts to the surrounding uses or
neighborhood; Yes
(B)Provides a compatible transition between higher intensity and lower intensity uses; N/A
(C)Is necessary to foster a specific city policy, as expressed in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan,
including, without limitation, historic preservation, moderate income housing, residential and
nonresidential mixed uses in appropriate locations and group living arrangements for special
populations; or Yes
(D)Is an existing legal nonconforming use or an expansion that is permitted under Subsection (f) of this
section; N/A
Staff Response:
The proposed ground floor uses are considered residential uses because they exclusively serve the
residential units. The ground floor uses, however, do not contain any dwelling units and instead include a
lobby, coworking space, offices, and mailroom. On-site residential amenities, such as a coworking space,
reduces traffic impacts to the surrounding area that would otherwise by caused by residents driving to
offices or other workspaces. The co-working spaces support the shift towards hybrid/virtual working.
Incorporating residential ground floor uses also fosters BVCP Policy 1.11 (Jobs: Housing Balance) by adding
housing in support of existing jobs. Ground floor amenity spaces provide direct access to leasing offices,
deliveries, mail, etc.
(2)Compatibility: Yes
The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the use will be reasonably compatible with and
have minimal negative impact on the use of nearby properties, or, for residential uses or community,
Attachment D - Staff Analysis of Review Criteria
Item 4A - 2555 30th St. Site Review Page 96
Packet Page 262 of 568
cultural, and educational uses in industrial zoning districts, the proposed development reasonably
mitigates the potential negative impacts from nearby properties;
Staff Response:
The proposed residential uses are located on the ground floor and are compatible with the uses of nearby
properties, including the development immediately to the south, which is fully residential. Although
considered residential uses, the ground floor does not contain any units and is comprised of residential
amenities like coworking spaces, leasing office, mail rooms, etc. The use functions much like a non-
residential use and is compatible with surrounding uses in the area including retail, restaurants, and
personal services. The proposed residential use including a building lobby and amenities will not create
impacts or change the area. The building will still function as a mixed-use development and bring housing
to the area.
(3)Infrastructure: Yes
The use will not significantly adversely affect the infrastructure of the surrounding area, including,
without limitation, water, wastewater and storm drainage utilities and streets, compared to an allowed
use in the zoning district, or compared to the existing level of impact of a nonconforming use;
Staff Response:
The proposed use will not affect the infrastructure of the surrounding area. The proposed development
containing residential and nonresidential uses will provide streetscape improvements, storm drainage, and
other utility improvements.
(4)Character of Area: Yes
The use will not change the predominant character of the surrounding area or the character established
by adopted design guidelines or plans for the area; and
Staff Response:
The subject site is located within the Transit Village Area Plan and is designated as the “30th Street
Corridor District” in the plan where a mix of commercial and residential uses located adjacent to the street
are encouraged. The vision of the area as specified in the plan is to transform 30th St. into a business main
street that serves the neighborhood and introduces a pedestrian-friendly street front. Additional objectives
include a mixed-use land designation, new residential and diverse housing, and connection to the natural
and built environment.
The inclusion of ground-floor residential uses is compatible with the plan’s direction for mixed uses and
vibrancy. While the uses are considered residential, they operate and function like a nonresidential use.
The lobby and coworking spaces are visible from the street through large windows and activate the public
realm. The ground floor uses may serve visitors as well as prospective tenants visiting the site. The uses are
compatible with the commercial retail space located on the southeast corner of the same development
and create an engaging street front.
(5) Conversion of Dwelling Units to Nonresidential Uses: N/A
There shall be a presumption against approving the conversion of dwelling units in the residential zoning
districts to nonresidential uses that are allowed pursuant to a use review, or through the substitution of
one nonconforming use with another nonconforming use. The presumption against such a conversion
may be overcome by a finding that the use to be approved serves another compelling social, human
services, governmental or recreational need in the community, including, without limitation, a use for a
daycare center, park, religious assembly, social service use, benevolent organization use, art studio or
workshop, museum, or an educational use.
Staff Response:
N/A; there is no conversion of dwelling units to nonresidential uses.

Introduction
This Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan has been prepared for the 2550 30th Street
residential development in Boulder, Colorado. The site is located south of Valmont Road
and west of 30th Street. The site is proposed to include about 142 apartment dwelling
units and about 828 square feet of retail space. Full movement access is proposed to 30th
Street.
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 and a 5.8 percent
parking reduction supported by the various TDM alternatives available in the City of
Boulder and the TDM measures proposed by the applicant.
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
• 206
• 208
•AB
• BOND

TDM Measures TDM Measure Details
Orientation Packets
An orientation packet will be provided to each new resident which includes brochures, maps, and other resources to
inform residents of their transportation options. This packet will include RTD bus information, the City of Boulder bicycle
and pedestrian map (or similar), and information on special events. This packet will be provided initially by the
developer at the time of sale or by a lessor thereafter.
Evaluation
Through sales or lease agreement, the site's residents will agree to participate in annual on-line or paper surveys
regarding their use and satisfaction with transportation demand management programs. The evaluation is expected to
be administered by the property management - the City of Boulder will provide the survey questions using Survey
Monkey or similar on-line tools.The developer will secure agreement to participate, with the expectation that 10-20% of
residents will actually participate based on typical survey return rates. The City of Boulder will be responsible for data
analysis and summarization.
Pedestrian
Enhancements Improvements will be made to the existing sidewalks around the site.
Bike Enhancements The site will have connections to the existing sidewalks and paths in the vicinity of the site including the Goose Creek
multi-use path.
Car Share The applicant plans to provide a car share parking space to be managed by a car share operator. Additional details on
car share are included in the written statement.
Transit
Enhancements
Information about transit service will be provided in the orientation packets, also described above. The building
manager will have an on-site employee serve as the transportation coordinator to assure residents are fully aware of
the various TDM measures that are available.
Additional Measures
The applicant is providing a fitness space, pool, and coworking space to help reduce vehicle-trips. The proposed fleet
of ten (10) bikes and two (2) wagons for resident use will be provided by the Applicant, will be managed by the property
manager on “first come, first served” basis and subject to certain rules and regulations and a liability waiver. This bike
amenity will offer residents who don’t own a bike to be able to use a bike for sporadic trips. The wagon amenity will
enable residents to be able to more easily walk to the adjacent grocery stores without the need for taking a vehicle to
shop and be able to return with a load of groceries straight to their residence. These bike and wagon amenities will be
stored in Long Term Bike Parking and in the service area of the garage, respectively. The Long-Term Bike Parking
areas will have sufficient electrical service for e-bike charging for approximately 20% of the required bike parking.
NECO Pass Program
Participation
The applicant proposes to participate in the NECO Bus Pass program. The applicant will pay the cost of providing ECO
passes to residents for a period of three years upon request if they don't already receive a pass from their employer or
other arrangement (such as being a student at CU). The applicant will work with residents at the end of the three-year
ECO pass program period to determine utilization rates and if there is community interest in continuing the program. If
there is good utilization or community interest, the applicant will assist residents to establish a community-based
program or work to assist with financial support to purchase passes.
Meet Short-Term
Bicycle Parking
Requirement
The site is proposing 74 short-term bicycle parking spaces which meets the requirement of 74 short-term bicycle
parking spaces.
Meet Long-Term
Bicycle Parking
Requirement
The site is proposing 214 long-term secure and covered bicycle parking spaces which meets the requirement of 214
long-term bicycle parking spaces.
SUMP Parking
Principles
The applicant proposes to follow the City's SUMP parking principles where possible. This includes having the parking
be shared, unbundled, managed, and paid. The SUMP principles will be implemented by the Project property manager
through the terms of the residential leases with residents and the general operation of the building as directed by the
Applicant/Owner. Proposed parking areas will be shared amongst the residents, the car share vendor, and the retail
suite. Parking will be by permit only and will not be offered as part of any lease at the Project. The estimated range of
the monthly parking cost will be between $150 and $200 per month depending on the market price for parking in the
area. As such, any given resident who chooses not to own a vehicle and park within the Project might save up to $2400
per year on parking lease costs. Parking leases will be separate from the residential and retail leases. Parking rules
will be managed by the property manager and access to the garage will be access controlled by software and hardware
with programmed parking fobs. With respect to the retail uses and associated SUMP principles implementation, as
noted above, the Project is approximately four (4) years from completion and has not yet marketed or leased the
proposed retail space. None of the proposed parking spaces in the Project are dedicated to the retail space and are,
therefore, able to be managed by the property manager under the SUMP principles described above.
Vehicle Parking The applicant is proposing 145 vehicle parking spaces for residents which is less than the requirement of 154 vehicle
parking spaces which results in a parking reduction request of 5.8 percent.

Dear Mr. Kuhl:
In response to your request, LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. has prepared this updated
traffic impact analysis for the proposed 2550 30th Street redevelopment in Boulder, Colorado,
to address City comments. As shown on Figure 1, the site is located south of Valmont Road and
west of 30th Street.
REPORT CONTENTS
The report contains the following based on coordination with City staff: the existing roadway
and traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site including the lane geometries, traffic controls,
posted speed limits, etc.; the existing weekday peak-hour traffic volumes; the typical weekday
site-generated traffic volume projections for the site; the assignment of the projected traffic
volumes to the area roadways; the projected short-term and long-term background and resul-
ting total traffic volumes on the area roadways; the site’s projected traffic impacts; and any re-
commended roadway improvements to mitigate growth in background traffic or the impacts of
the site.
LAND USE AND ACCESS
The site is proposed to include 142 apartment dwelling units and about 828 square feet of com-
mercial space. Full movement access is proposed to 30th Street. The conceptual site plan is
shown in Figure 2.

intersection with 30th Street is signalized. The posted speed limit is 35 mph in the vicinity
of the site. There are dedicated bike lanes and detached sidewalks on both sides of the
street.
Existing Traffic Conditions
Figure 3a shows the existing traffic volumes in the site’s vicinity on a typical weekday and
Figure 3b shows the existing lane geometry and traffic controls . The weekday peak-hour traffic
volumes and daily traffic counts are from the attached traffic counts conducted by Counter
Measures in July, 2024.
2028 and 2044 Background Traffic
Figure 4a shows the estimated 2028 background traffic and Figure 5a shows the estimated
2044 background traffic based on an annual growth rate of 0.5 percent consistent with the
assumptions agreed to by City staff.
Figures 4b and 5b show the assumed future 2028 and 2044 background traffic control and
lane geometry.
Existing, 2028 Background, and 2044 Background Levels of Service
Level of service (LOS) is a quantitative measure of the level of congestion or delay at an inter-
section. Level of service is indicated on a scale from “A” to “F.” LOS A is indicative of little con-
gestion or delay and LOS F is indicative of a high level of congestion or delay. Attached are
specific level of service definitions for signalized and unsignalized intersections.
The intersections in Figures 3a through 5b were analyzed to determine the existing, 2028 back-
ground, and 2044 background levels of service as appropriate using Synchro. Table 1 shows
the level of service analysis results. The level of service reports are attached.

is expected to operate at LOS “C” and the afternoon peak-hour is expected to operate at
LOS “D” and are expected to do so through 2044.
2. 30

rate at LOS “B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours and are expected
to do so through 2044.
3. 30
th Street/Site Access: This intersection was analyzed only in the total traffic scenarios.
4. 30
th Street/Mapleton Avenue: All movements at this unsignalized intersection currently
operate at LOS “B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours and are ex-
pected to do so through 2044.
5. 30
th Street/Pearl Street: This signalized intersection currently operates at an overall LOS
“C” during both morning and afternoon peak-hours. By 2028, the morning peak-hour is
expected to operate at LOS “C” and the afternoon peak-hour is expected to operate at LOS
“D” and are expected to do so through 2044.
TRIP GENERATION
Table 2 shows the estimated trip generation potential for the currently proposed land use
based on the trip generation rates from the 11th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual,
2021.
The site is projected to generate about 1,002 vehicle-trips on the average weekday, with about
half entering and half exiting during a 24-hour period. During the morning peak-hour, which
generally occurs for one hour between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m., about 15 vehicles would enter and
about 44 vehicles would exit the area. During the afternoon peak-hour, which generally occurs
for one hour between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., about 48 vehicles would enter and about 30 vehicles
would exit the area. These estimates are expected to be reduced by about 20 percent due to
alternative travel modes as shown in Table 2. This reduction is supported by a separate Travel
Demand Management (TDM) Plan.
On the average Saturday, the site is projected to generate about 700 vehicle-trips, with about
half entering and half exiting during a 24-hour period. During the Saturday peak-hour, which
generally occurs for one hour between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., about 32 vehicles would enter
and about 32 vehicles would exit the area. These estimates are expected to be reduced by
about 20 percent due to alternative travel modes as shown in Table 2. This reduction is
supported by a separate Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Figure 6 shows the estimated directional distribution of the site-generated traffic volumes on
the area roadways. The estimates were based on the location of the site with respect to the
regional population, employment, and activity centers; the site’s proposed land use; and are
consistent with the assumptions agreed to by City staff.

distribution percentages (from Figure 6) applied to the weekday trip generation estimate (from
Table 2).
2028 AND 2044 TOTAL TRAFFIC
Figure 8a shows the 2028 total traffic which is the sum of the 2028 background traffic volumes
(from Figure 4a) and the site-generated traffic volumes (from Figure 7). Figure 8b shows the
2028 recommended lane geometry and traffic control.
Figure 9a shows the 2044 total traffic which is the sum of 2044 background traffic volumes
(from Figure 5a) and the site-generated traffic volumes (from Figure 7). Figure 9b shows the
2044 recommended lane geometry and traffic control.
VISION ZERO HIGH RISK STREET NETWORK ANALYSIS
The section of 30th Street from Pearl Street to Valmont Road adjacent to the site is identified
by the City of Boulder as a high risk street.
Existing Conditions
A summary of the City’s crash history for the past five years in the general area is included in
the appendix. It shows no fatalities over the five-year period but there were nine crashes that
resulted in severe juries. Two severe injuries occurred at the 30th Street/Pearl Street inter-
section, one occurred at the 30th Street/Mapleton Street intersection, five occurred at the 30th
Street/Valmont Road intersection, and one occurred on Valmont Road near 30th Avenue. They
are summarized in the section below. There is not a specific crash pattern.

Proposed Condition to Help Reduce Accident Probability
The following characteristics will help reduce the crash probability in the area:
1. The proposed site will relocated the existing full movement access on 30
th Street to the
north to align with the existing access to the east.
2. The proposed site replaces a prior commercial site so no increase in traffic is expected in
the area based on historic conditions.
3. The proposed access to 30
th Street will have driveway flares rather than corner radii to
reduce vehicle turning speed. This will help reduce vehicle/bicycle conflicts at the drive-
way.
4. No additional travel lanes are expected or recommended in the area.
5. No crosswalks lengths are expected to be lengthened from redevelopment of the site.
6. The proposed site will not be adding any new unprotected left-turn movements.
7. There are no mid-block crosswalks at 30
th Avenue in the area so there will be no impacts
related to this type of crossing.
8. The project will provide acceptable sight distance both to and from the relocated access
point for both vehicles and non-motorized users such as pedestrians and cyclists. This will
help reduce vehicle/bicycle conflicts at the driveway. All sight triangle requirements of
Section 9-9-7 will be met at the driveway access and multi-use path intersections.
9. The proposed site is not planning any obstructions that would block or limit pedestrian/
cyclist flow in the area. This will help reduce vehicle/bicycle conflicts at the driveway.
10. The proposed site will provide ADA ramps where applicable to ease pedestrian travel in
the area. The sidewalk that crosses the driveway access will be elevated above street level
for pedestrian safety.
11. The applicant will be adding a segment of buffered bike lane adjacent to the site which will
improve bicycle safety in the area of the site.
Summary of Analysis
The proposed site redevelopment will improve pedestrian and cyclist access in the area and has
many positive characteristics that should help reduce the probability of a crash in the area.
PROJECTED LEVELS OF SERVICE
The intersections in Figures 8a through 9b were analyzed to determine the 2028 and 2044 total
levels of service. Table 1 shows the level of service analysis results. The level of service reports
are attached.
1. 30
th Street/Valmont Road: This signalized intersection is expected to operate at an over-
all LOS “D” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through 2044.
2. 30
th Street/Bluff Street: All movements at this unsignalized intersection are expected to
operate at LOS “B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through
2044.

3. 30
th Street/Site Access: All movements at this unsignalized intersection are expected to
operate at LOS “B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through
2044.
4. 30
th Street/Mapleton Avenue: All movements at this unsignalized intersection are
expected to operate at LOS “B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours
through 2044.
5. 30
th Street/Pearl Street: This signalized intersection is expected to operate at an overall
LOS “D” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through 2044. The east-
bound left-turn movement is expected to degrade from LOS “E” to LOS “F” in 2028 with
the addition of site-generated traffic. The LOS “F” can be mitigated back to LOS “E” by
shifting one second of green time from the westbound through movement to the east-
bound left-turn movement.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Trip Generation
1. The site is projected to generate about 1,002 vehicle-trips on the average weekday, with
about half entering and half exiting during a 24-hour period. During the morning peak-
hour about 15 vehicles would enter and about 44 vehicles would exit the site. During the
afternoon peak-hour, about 48 vehicles would enter and about 30 vehicles would exit.
These estimates are expected to be reduced by about 20 percent due to alternative travel
modes. This reduction is supported by a separate Travel Demand Management (TDM)
Plan.
2. On the average Saturday, the site is projected to generate about 700 vehicle-trips, with
about half entering and half exiting during a 24-hour period. During the Saturday peak-
hour, about 32 vehicles would enter and about 32 vehicles would exit the area. These esti-
mates are expected to be reduced by about 20 percent due to alternative travel modes as
shown in Table 2. This reduction is supported by a separate Travel Demand Management
(TDM) Plan.
Projected Levels of Service
3. All movements at the unsignalized intersections analyzed are expected to operate at LOS
“B” or better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through 2044.
4. The signalized intersections analyzed are expected to operate at an overall LOS “D” or
better during both morning and afternoon peak-hours through 2044.
Conclusions
5. The impact of the proposed 2550 30
th Street development can be accommodated by the
existing roadway network with the following recommendations:

LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS
From Highway Capacity Manual, Transportation Research Board
SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS)
LOS
Average
Vehicle Delay
sec/vehicle Operational Characteristics
A <10 seconds Describes operations with low control delay, up to 10 sec/veh.
This LOS occurs when progression is extremely favorable and
most vehicles arrive during the green phase. Many vehicles do
not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may tend to contribute to low
delay values.
B 10 to 20
seconds
Describes operations with control delay greater than 10 seconds
and up to 20 sec/veh. This level generally occurs with good
progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles stop than
with LOS A, causing higher levels of delay.
C 20 to 35
seconds
Describes operations with control delay greater than 20 and up to
35 sec/veh. These higher delays may result from only fair
progression, longer cycle length, or both. Individual cycle failures
may begin to appear at this level. Cycle failure occurs when a
given green phase does not serve queued vehicles, and overflows
occur. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level,
though many still pass through the intersection without stopping.
D 35 to 55
seconds
Describes operations with control delay greater than 35 and up to
55 sec/veh. At LOS D, the influence of congestion becomes more
noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of
unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ratios.
Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping
declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable.
E 55 to 80
seconds
Describes operations with control delay greater than 55 and up to
80 sec/veh. These high delay values generally indicate poor
progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ratios. Individual
cycle failures are frequent.
F >80
seconds
Describes operations with control delay in excess of 80 sec/veh.
This level, considered unacceptable to most drivers, often occurs
with over-saturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the
capacity of lane groups. It may also occur at high v/c ratios with
many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle
lengths may also contribute significantly to high delay levels.

LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS
From Highway Capacity Manual, Transportation Research Board
UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS)
Applicable to Two-Way Stop Control, All-Way Stop Control, and Roundabouts
LOS
Average
Vehicle Control
Delay Operational Characteristics
A <10 seconds Normally, vehicles on the stop-controlled approach only have to
wait up to 10 seconds before being able to clear the intersection.
Left-turning vehicles on the uncontrolled street do not have to wait
to make their turn.
B 10 to 15
seconds
Vehicles on the stop-controlled approach will experience delays
before being able to clear the intersection. The delay could be up
to 15 seconds. Left-turning vehicles on the uncontrolled street
may have to wait to make their turn.
C 15 to 25
seconds
Vehicles on the stop-controlled approach can expect delays in the
range of 15 to 25 seconds before clearing the intersection.
Motorists may begin to take chances due to the long delays,
thereby posing a safety risk to through traffic. Left-turning vehicles
on the uncontrolled street will now be required to wait to make
their turn causing a queue to be created in the turn lane.
D 25 to 35
seconds
This is the point at which a traffic signal may be warranted for this
intersection. The delays for the stop-controlled intersection are not
considered to be excessive. The length of the queue may begin to
block other public and private access points.
E 35 to 50
seconds
The delays for all critical traffic movements are considered to be
unacceptable. The length of the queues for the stop-controlled
approaches as well as the left-turn movements are extremely long.
There is a high probability that this intersection will meet traffic
signal warrants. The ability to install a traffic signal is affected by
the location of other existing traffic signals. Consideration may be
given to restricting the accesses by eliminating the left-turn move-
ments from and to the stop-controlled approach.
F >50 seconds The delay for the critical traffic movements are probably in excess
of 100 seconds. The length of the queues are extremely long.
Motorists are selecting alternative routes due to the long delays.
The only remedy for these long delays is installing a traffic signal
or restricting the accesses. The potential for accidents at this inter-
section are extremely high due to motorist taking more risky
chances. If the median permits, motorists begin making two-stage
left-turns.

Dear Allison,
I have a negative comment to make about this project. I have an offie in Steelyards at 2500 30th St. so directly
across the street.
Traffic on this route has multiplied greatly in the past ten years and will do so even without this project going
forward as a large number of residents continue to move into the already extant enormous residential
buildings along 30th on the west side and the new one on the west side. These, with the addition of the new
traffic light by the (beautiful) firehouse, will further bog things down for people who work and live here, not
to mention that it is a major artery.

Hello Alison:
I received the notice of the proposed site review for the subject project, and offer the following comment for
your consideration.
We own a residential property in the Steel Yards, across 30th St. from the subject area. Included in the Steel
Yards neighborhood is a small park, which is designated for use by Steel Yards residents only. However,
numerous people from the new developments on the north and east side of Steel Yards regularly bring their
dogs to this park, both to exercise them and provide a place for the dogs to relieve themselves. Some pick up
after their dogs but many do not.
Boulder is obviously a dog-friendly community and we fully endorse that. However, there are no
accommodations being incorporated into the numerous new developments to support dogs. With 140 units, it
is reasonable to assume that this new project will have 30-50 dogs. Without other options nearby, the dog
owners will be tempted to follow the lead of the aforementioned residents from other developments and utilize
the Steel Yard park.
I submit that the city should require developers to incorporate on-site places for dogs to relieve themselves.
We have seen such facilities in apartments we have rented in other cities and it was well received by the
residents.
Thanks for your consideration of my input. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Steve Schwalb

Hi Alison,
My name is Dominique Scott. My husband and I bought a townhouse at 3121 Bluff Street in 2019. One
of the reasons the property was priced as high as it was was because of the flatiron's view. We were
told that no one would ever obstruct our views with Boulder's building height laws.
Over the weekend I received a letter in the mail with review number LUR2024-00047. The new build of
140 Units is requesting a height modification. I was really sad to read this as I'm pretty positive that
this would take away the views we paid top dollar for and were promised would never be obstructed.
The new building would also take away from the Steelyard's views. The Steelyards is a very special
neighborhood that has been here for a while and any of the top floor apartments or apartments with
decks would lose their mountain views to this new apartment building too.
Reading the letter I assume that the apartment building has already been approved, but I will just add
that 30th street is already very busy and I can only imagine that adding another apartment building is
going to make the area a zoo!
Thanks for taking the time to read my email and consider our feelings regarding this building.
Kind regards,
Dominique Scott

Hi Alison, I am in receipt of the August 20th Boulder Planning and Development Services site review
notice of the above mentioned project: 2555 30TH ST.
As a property owner at 2930 Bluff Street (Apt. 312) I/my complex community would be due WEST of
this proposed project and have a couple comments/concerns.
First it doesn’t seem to me that the project fits the zoning for Business Trainsitional and
Business Main Street.
There have been in the past 4 - 5 years many apartment complexes completed or being constructed
within a 4-6 block radius of this site -many still UNOCCUPIED. There are also several commercial
spaces that have been up for lease and unoccupied for years including those on east Valmont at
Wilderness Place.
I am concerned that to approve yet another 140 unit ‘complex’ which will be sited on the lot as shown
in the design, when the adjacent like type properties are not yet fully utilized/occupied, is unwise for
good urban planning. Commercial e.g. EV charging stations, small businesses, retail, cafes, small
grocery shops would seem to better serve the 30th and Valmont ‘intersection, rather than greater
human densification.
The Bluebird Permanent Supportive Housing project has just been finished to the south of this ’site’
and the new City Fire Station one block to the north. This reinforces my concern that a 140 unit
residential apartment complex with accompanying parking, traffic would not be well situated. Near to
this site the multi-use path and creek riparian zone have been devastated in the last five to eight years
by unhoused people occupying City lands and deteriorating public spaces. I’m concerned about the
impact on existing social trails that such a development at 2555 30TH ST. would have. The traffic and
bike intersections in this area are already heavily congested. I don’t see this property fitting our
pressing need for housing units for mid to lower income residents.
I’m concerned about the ‘four story’ height modification.
I look south out my patio doors to the Google headquarters along Pearl Street. That Google office
building is less obtrusive on the urban landscape because they stayed withing the City’s 3 story limit
(or maybe I’m wrong there is no longer a three story City restriction). If 2555 30TH ST is approved as
designed, balconies or windows would face our Goose Creek Condominium, potentially increase the
ambiant noise levels and further drive away the pond life and birds that occupy the City lands along
the Creek, adjacent to my/our residences. In addition, and this concerns me a LOT there’s the
potential for high levels of nighttime light pollution an issue for bird migration (note the City’s dark
skies programs) and this will generally degrade the quality of life since I bought my condo in 2009.
Lastly, we at Goose Creek Condominiums are across the Bluff and 29th street intersection where the
new Rally Flats ‘affordable housing’ complex of 150 or more units (now being completed). My feeling

City of Boulder Planning Board
1739 Broadway, Third Floor
Boulder, CO 80302
Subject: Support for 2555 30th St. Site Review
Dear Members of the Boulder Planning Board and Staff,
On behalf of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Boulder’s Transportation Management Organization
(Boulder Chamber Transportation Connections), I am writing to express our support for the proposed
development at 2555 30th St. This project represents a valuable opportunity to enhance Boulder's economic
vitality, workforce housing availability, and overall community livability.
As Boulder continues to experience significant demand for housing and commercial space, well-designed,
mixed-use developments like 2555 30th St. play a crucial role in fostering a dynamic and sustainable
environment. This project aligns with the City of Boulder’s and the Boulder Chamber’s goals for long-term
planning objectives, including increasing access to workforce housing, promoting transit-oriented
development, and strengthening our local business ecosystem. It is located in an area intentionally
designated for housing, benefiting from significant community investments and walkable amenities.
As such we wanted to highlight several of the housing and transportation advantages in this proposal
including prescient pedestrian / bike planning, 143 residences, Eco Pass, CarShare, and bike share option
along with 214 long-term bike parking spaces, and 74 short term bike parking spaces.
We appreciate the Planning Board's thorough review of this proposal and encourage its approval to advance
Boulder's vision for a more inclusive and economically resilient community. Please do not hesitate to reach
out if we can provide insight or assistance in supporting this important initiative.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Singer
Senior Director of Policy Programs

Public Comment from Virginia L. Winter, taxpayer and resident and small business owner at 2930 Bluff
Street, #312, Boulder, CO pertaining to
Case No. LUR 2024 00047 and 2024 00065
2555 30th Street Development Proposal
and the proposed extensions of the Goose Creek Greenway, Multi-use Path (MUP) designed by the City
of Boulder, in collaboration with the Applicant.
I am aware that Planning and Development or Transportation Department staff may
have already approved 'off site' concepts for the multi-use path extensions my
comments focus on. I understand that some of the proposed MUP extensions are not
fully but partially within the designs provided by the Applicant. I understand that these
elements have been previously agreed to and referenced as cost-shares (part
Applicant, part City) if determined to be feasible. I understand some of these elements
may be taken up in a 'Tec Doc,' an event after Feb. 18, 2025.
I'm grateful to have this opportunity to raise my concerns and help the Planning Board
focus in on what could be happening to this precious City open space area. Using an
accompanying powerpoint presentation, I want to breathe life into those concerns by
visually illustrating them and hope to convince you not to recreate what we’ve already
got, because there are negative consequences for doing that.
All comments below are tagged in blue with a relevant subsection of the Site Review Criteria. An
Addendum following my comments lists, by partial quotation, cited subsections of the Site Review Criteria
or other Land Use Code sections.
A) Open Space Quality, Loss of Habitat and Neighborhood Fragmentation
I have a concern for loss of peaceful natural view-scape.
1)The City's MUP extensions would be taking away a primary reason for investing
in housing at 2930 Bluff Street. A four story 2555 30th development will also block
views of the sunrise and diminish daytime sunlight for those living due West of this
project. Section 9-2-14 - Site Review Criteria, (a) Purpose and Purpose
2) The proposed east west extension of the multi-use path would denigrate
natural values of the riparian ecosystem (wildlife habitat, water filtration by plant life, and
flood mitigation). The conceptualized multi-use path (MUP) extensions would constitute
an avoidable loss of wetland. LAND USE - Section 9-3-9 Wetland Protection,
Subsections (2) (3) (4) (5)
3) This plot of open space is a natural habitat for dozens of bird species. Boulder
County designated "species of concern" have been observed at and on this open space
location. Of note are a few species that are dependent upon isolate or restricted habitat,
e.g., the black crowned night heron, bushtit, black tailed prairie dog, common garter
snakes. All 50 + species I've observed at/on this open space are one of Boulder's
cultural resources! Section 9-2-14 -Site Review Criteria, Application Requirement (d) 17

4) MUP extensions as conceptualized would cause wasteful destruction of
existing sustainable green space. Along with several mature trees this open space has
two NEW thriving pin oak trees provided by the Cool Boulder program of our City.
Residents planted these in 2023 in this area next to the current dirt trail. These City
provided trees would be destroyed by constructing the conceptualized MUP extensions
leaving 2555 30th from the west and southwest edges. Section 9-2-14 -Site Review
Criteria (a) 3
B) Public Safety
I have safety concerns relative to the siting of multi-use path (MUP) extension as
proposed, where it may connect at the current Greenway junction of Bluff and 29th, this
is also a STREET INTERSECTION / JUNCTION. Section 9-2-14 -Site Review Criteria
(h) (2) (iv)
1) The already unsafe ingress/egress for the existing MUP at 29th and Bluff is on
a BLIND CURVE which will not be improved by increased car/bike/foot traffic. Of note:
150 permanently affordable housing units at Rally Flats expected to come 'online' in
2025-6, will "turn up" that volume. This intersection currently experiences high volumes
of daily travel for residents, cars, light and industrial trucks, emergency vehicles, child
care center family pick up and drop off, pedestrians, wheel chairs, bikes, e-bikes, Lime
scooters, unhoused folks with carts of belonging/shopping carts, and domestic animals.
Section 9-2-14 -Site Review Criteria (h) (2) (iv)
2) The proposed MUP extension and increase in neighboring property population
density is a general public safety threat of special concern for my condominium
complex because this 5 way junction is AT the only egress/ingress for the 30+ unit
Goose Creek Condominium complex. Our driveway is in high use daily by residents as
well as needed for Police, Fire and other emergency response vehicles. Section 9-2-14
-Site Review Criteria (h) (2) (iv)
3) An extension of the MUP westward from 2555 30th is unnecessarily
duplicating the paved MUP path already in year-round public use. Taxpayers
should not be asked, even in part, to pay for the City approved design concept
that proposes to pave an additional segment(s) of the MUP not in compliance
with cited Site Review Criteria and slated for the exclusive use of 2555 30th Street
residents; especially when a viable option already exists. Our wonderful Goose
Creek Greenway path currently receives City policing, encampment clean-up, and other
maintenance services. Increased occupancy of this delicate zone would increase water
and land pollution as a result of increased use, especially due to dog/pet walkers, who
don't pick up pet feces. Section 9-2-14 - Site Review Criteria, (a) Purpose

C) Social Equity and Environmental Protection
Make no mistake, the Applicant's proposal will change the predominant character of the
surrounding neighborhood.
1) The City appears to have given preliminary approval to the MUP extensions
with the notion of adding new green landscaping along the south side of Goose Creek
Condos, and that could have significant view scape impact for the residents and owners
As several of the public comments mentioned this would bring pavement within a few
feet of people's decks; an encroachment of resident owner's private property. I invested
in this property location because of the City open space buffer that existed between my
Condo and the Creek. People bought at Goose Creek Condominium(s) because it had
an unobstructed view of the creek, with the Goose Creek MUP easily accessible, and
the majesty of the foothills as our southern view. This would unquestionably be an
impairment of prominent public views of the foothills, in particular for my complex as
2555's western neighbors. LAND USE - Section 9-3-9 Wetland Protection
Unnecessary paving over of green open ground increases ambient heat & negatively
effects City climate profile and intentions for sustainable or livable cities Section 9-2-14
-Site Review Criteria, (a) 3.
2) City Staff and Applicant seem convinced that the 'social trail' seen on maps
was or is a bona fide social trail, it never existed for east-west pedestrian social traffic.
In the seventeen years at my location I can attest to the fact that no one, including my
bus hopping 'neighbors' used this 'path' because it went NOWHERE you could not get
through to 30th street. It exists today for multiple reasons including: a long period of
neglect by the City Forestry and Parks department, and because of the chronic use by
vagrant and/or unhoused persons who have occupied this creek bank for camping,
public urination/defecation, loitering for drug use and drug trafficking/sales. Section
9-2-14 -Site Review Criteria, (h) (2) Site Design Criteria
3) Shunting ped/bike transit along the narrow, north bank of Goose Creek for
those desiring to travel west from the applicants two proposed exits from the 2555
30th lot has the effect endangering more of the public and exclusively benefiting 2555
lot residents and diminishing the quality of open space for surrounding
neighbors, public visitors, and the Boulder community at large. Section 9-2-14
-Site Review Criteria (h) (2) (iv)
4) In the past decade my condo complex has seen an significant increase in
trespass, property theft and multiple types of criminal behavior, which HAS effectively
decreased our sense of neighborhood safe space. Police call logs and records will
back me up. I have "Dispatch" on speed dial. As proposed, these extensions could
encourage, once again, an attractive hiding zone behind the Bluebird MH apartment
building for dangerous and sustained criminal behavior and bring it even closer to the
Bilingual Childcare Center at 2700 29th Street, Boulder. Section 9-2-14 -Site Review
Criteria (a) 5.

5) Healthy mobility options are available now without this extension! Bikes,
wheelchairs, or pedestrians leaving the east and southeast corner of 2555 30th lot, and
also, cyclists riding south on 30th Street, where a bike lane improvement is planned,
can safely access the paved Goose Creek Greenway at a distance of one tenth of a
mile (routing: south on the west side of 30th, right turn on Mapleton, immediate right
onto GC Greenway) Section 9-2-14 - Site Review Criteria, (a) Purpose
6) If any extension of the Goose Creek Greenway MUP off the 2555 30th street
Lot has to be considered to help the applicant satisfy their Site Review criteria, there is
another option.
If necessary, a shorter, single segment extension could be sited due south from the
southern boundary of the 2555 30th lot from their planned paved alley way over Goose
Creek. I understand this may require a wetland permit, or environmental assessment
and include a small bridge to be build straight across the creek; but it would have no
curves. Building a creek bridge hasn't stopped the City's MUP development before and
this route has been seen in PAST Transportation Master Plans at this location.
This would also allow the 2445 30th Street Bluebird apartment residents to safely
access this extension. I've spoken to Maggie Langan, of Brothers Property
Management, the onsite Community Manager; she informed me that at the time of the
construction the "Bluebird" housing facility, the City of Boulder required the Bluebird
Corp to build a solid, high fence on three sides to effectively cordon off the north, west,
south sides of this residential building, thereby inhibiting access to the open space
behind although with the Hyundai dealership there, trespassers find a way around. Why
then does the Applicant at 2555 30th get preliminary approval to design in a new
alleyway segment / bike way that the City will finish off at taxpayer expense?
7) Flood risk can change over time due to intra-city development and
environmental changes. Goose Creek Condominium buildings have Flood Elevation
Certificates on file with the City. The proposed staff approved MUP extensions or any
re-routing of the existing MUP could have site and neighborhood wetland drainage
implications and may require a new storm water report or wetland environmental impact
assessment. Will the new construction or landscaping and paving change the ability of
Goose Creek Condo owners to insure our homes as a result of the need to acquire
flood insurance that at present we do not need? Land Use Code Section 9-3-8
Floodplain development.
I am unconvinced that the challenge of wetland permitting or the cost of bridge building
across the creek makes fragmentation of open space and altering the floodplain in my
neighborhood, an acceptable or environmentally preferable option. LAND USE - Section

(3) The city council finds that it is necessary for the city to ensure protection by discouraging development
activities in streams, wetlands, and water bodies and those activities at adjacent sites that may adversely
affect the visibility and functional values of these resources.
(4) The city council finds that it is necessary to ensure no net loss of wetlands, by encouraging avoidance
of direct or indirect impacts from activities that destroy or diminish the quantity, quality, and biological
diversity of the city's water resources and adjacent buffers.
(5) The city council acknowledges that much of the city was developed prior to awareness of the value of
protecting streams, wetlands, and water bodies. The city council seeks to find a reasonable balance
between the property owners' desire to make reasonable uses of their properties and the public's interest
in preserving and protecting these important water resources. When the destruction or diminution in
function of these resources cannot be avoided, the city council finds that impacts on streams, wetlands,
and water bodies should be minimized and mitigation provided for unavoidable losses.

The intent of this memo is to update City Council on the Civic Area Phase 2 project. The update for the
planning analysis phase includes 1) site analysis findings, 2) East Bookend redevelopment analysis 3)
Engagement Window 2 summary, and 4) emerging design priorities informed by the site analysis and
community input from the two engagement windows to-date. The project team will inform on these
updates and will take questions and feedback from City Council on the four topics noted above. The
project team will incorporate this feedback as they move into the next stage of the design process and
will return to council in the fall of 2025 with a concept plan for review. After the concept plan has been
reviewed and priced, specific aspects will move into schematic design and construction based on
feasibility and available funding. Schematic design will be presented to council at the end of 2025.

QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL
1.Does council have feedback on the planning analysis and redevelopment process for the
East Bookend?
2.Does council have feedback on the emerging design priorities for the Civic Area?
FISCAL IMPACT
Cities all over the country recognize their downtown spaces as core economic engines that are key in
unifying communities, building memorable destinations for tourism and creating opportunities for
robust local economies to thrive. Revitalizing the Civic Area, a prominent space in Boulder’s downtown
center, will be no different. Investment in the Civic Area can reinvigorate the space, affirming it as the
heart of Boulder for major events and festivities. Increased activity will attract more visitors, adding to
the local revenue generation, and breathe new life into this major urban center that will support retail
and, with its natural setting, improve community health. Currently, in the adopted 2024-2029 Capital
Improvement Plan, there is $18 million in funding from the Community Culture, Safety and Resilience
tax for the design and construction of Civic Area Phase 2. The initial steps through the design tasks have
identified the site program and associated costs for these improvements to the civic spaces, public
aspects of the East Bookend (block located within 13th Street, 14th Street, Arapahoe, and Canyon) and
the Arboretum Path. The $18 million will only cover a portion of the overall Civic Area concept design,
and so priorities will have to be identified on how to allocate the funding for phase 2. With this in mind,
the project team will develop a concept plan that will be used to inform what elements of the site
program move into schematic design, based on community input, feasibility and costs. Once the funding
is prioritized and allocated for phase 2, the project boundary will be delineated for only the elements
that can move into construction and implementation.
The concept plan will represent a long-term vision for the Civic Area with clearly identified design and
programs for the space as a whole. Areas of the concept plan outside th priorities for Phase 2 will
become part of a phase 3 effort, for which funding has yet to be identified.
BACKGROUND
In 2023, the project team launched the scoping task for the Civic Area Phase 2 project, including
updating City Council in December on the overall project process, scope and goals at the December 14,
2023 study session. In 2024, the project team moved through the planning analysis phase which
included research of the existing conditions, gathering technical data, and engaging the community in
imagining the future of the Civic Area. The community input was sought through two windows of
engagement. The first window asked community members to dream big for the Civic Area and a
summary of the findings can be found here in the August 23, 2024 council IP.
The team has now finished evaluating community input from the second window of engagement (held
last October to December 2024); findings from the technical site analysis; and findings from the East
Bookend redevelopment analysis. This marks the completion of the planning analysis task, informing the
initial design ideas for the Civic Area, East Bookend, and the Arboretum Path. In evaluating the design
ideas, a sense of what to prioritize has emerged, based on community wishes alongside site constraints
and feasibility. These findings are outlined below and will be shared with council at the April 17th

meeting. More project information can be found on the Civic Area Phase 2 website and the full project
process and schedule is detailed in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Civic Area Phase 2 Project Process and Schedule
PLANNING ANALYSIS REPORT FINDINGS
The planning analysis phase was conducted over the course of 2024, including extensive inventory of
existing conditions, an evaluation of feedback from phase 1 of Civic Area improvements, and guidance
from existing city policies that inform decision-making, especially with regards to the East Bookend.
The following is a summary of the planning analysis work. The full Site Analysis Document can be found
in Attachment A.
Site Analysis
Through the planning analysis process, the project team examined: the history and cultural stories of the
site, the existing transportation network and gaps in accessibility, current programming and desired
needs from the event spaces as well as an environmental inventory and study of the natural resources in
the space. The major planning constraints and opportunities that emerged from this analysis include,
but are not limited to:
•Improving the fragmented appearance of the Civic Area with a distinct and cohesive identity and
upgrading wayfinding to be user friendly
•Improving universal access and multimodal connections into and within the Civic Area
Item 6A -
Civic Area Planning Analysis
and Emerging Priorities

Packet Page 453 of 568
•Exploring how to conserve existing natural features along the creek and meet the community’s
desire for a greater connection to the creek and its recreation opportunities
•Evaluating program options that can preserve the character of and enliven uses of the historic
buildings while telling all stories of the Civic Area. With historic preservation, there are currently
five individual landmarks within the project boundary, and changes within the landmark
boundaries will be reviewed for consistency with the General Design Guidelines. Non-designated
buildings over 50 years old will be evaluated for their historic, architectural and environmental
significance.
•Managing the floodplain while supporting future development, park programming and uses. The
project team is exploring examples of other cities that are creating opportunities through
innovative design to provide vibrant public spaces within floodplains. These ideas will be
incorporated into the design for the Civic Area. Diagrams of the High Hazard Zone and 100 Year
Floodplain can be found in Attachment A. Floodplain analysis included but was not limited to:
High Hazard Zone (HHZ): Considered the most significant risk to life and property and
thus has major development constraints. In the HHZ, no new structures or additions
intended for human occupancy are allowed, and only non-substantial improvements
(below 50% of the value of the building) to existing buildings are permitted. A building
that is touched by the HHZ is regulated as if the entire structure is in the HHZ.
100 Year Floodplain: Building permits are required to conform to flood protection
standards that require the lowest floor of any building to be at least two feet above the
100-year water surface elevation. Significant additions and remodels (greater than 50%
of the size or assessed value of the building) generally require that the entire structure
meet flood regulations. New parking lots are not permitted where flood depths would
exceed 18 inches.
Key Guiding Policies
Several existing vision plans, design guidelines and future development improvements overlap with the
Civic Area Phase 2 scope. These guiding plans and policies will be woven into the overall design to create
a cohesive downtown space that reflects Boulder’s larger goals for the built environment:
o The 2015 Civic Area Plan outlines Seven Guiding Principles: Civic Heart of Boulder, Life
Property and Safety, Outdoor Recreation, Celebration of History and Assets, Enhanced
Access and Connections, Place for Community Activities and Arts and Sustainable and Viable
Future.
o City Council provided additional guidance at the Study Session on December 14, 2023 to
align with the outcomes of the Sustainability, Equity and Resilience (SER) framework.
Council also asked the project team to demonstrate how guiding plans and policies will
inform the project as it moves towards a final design to ensure accountability of the city’s
vision, values, and goals. Attachment A includes evaluation of existing plans, policies and
design guidelines and their relevance to this project. The project will use this evaluation to
ensure the design of the Civic Area seamlessly integrates into the complexities that make up
the downtown space.
o Another key request council made was to specifically prioritize multimodal and universal
access to and through the Civic Area for pedestrians, cyclists and people experiencing
disabilities and to create a multimodal environment that is welcoming, accessible, safe, and

community-oriented. The project team has completed a Transportation and Mobility
Analysis, and next steps will incorporate recommendations into the emerging design while
coordinating with the Transportation and Mobility Department, along with all the
programming, environmental, facility, amenity, and other analyses that have been
conducted.
EAST BOOKEND REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS
As part of the planning analysis phase, a Programming and Use Study was conducted to examine East
Bookend’s future development opportunities within Civic Area. The major goal of the project team is to
balance community benefit along with public, nonprofit, and private sector goals. The scope of the East
Bookend is shown in Figure 2. The highlighted area is the boundary of the East Bookend, and the dark
red buildings denote city-owned buildings while buildings shown in light red are privately owned.
Figure 2: Scope of the East Bookend - Programming and Use Study
The East Bookend study included a market analysis of development types and the potential to
reprogram city-owned existing buildings. It also reviewed parking and identified public spaces as part of
creating an integrated Civic Area. The goal was to assess whether any market shifts in development
opportunities, feasibility parameters or community desires had changed since the 2015 Civic Area Plan
was created a decade ago. Figure 3 outlines the process the project team is undertaking to examine
appropriate programming and use types at the East Bookend in the Civic Area, and Attachment B
includes the full summary of the analysis.

Figure 3: Program and Use Study Process
The project team completed an analysis of current and future market and economic trends for different
land uses and real estate product types. This study provided a baseline for planning, programming, and
the types of partnerships the city may enter into for the East Bookend. The study outlines trends and
movements of the greater Boulder population regionally, including who is moving into the city as well as
the desired activities and housing types these groups are looking for. For example, the market analysis
found that of the population moving into downtown Boulder, several of these groups were most likely
looking for multi-unit housing types and interested in the ‘foodie’ scene and cultural events.
From this evaluation, development types were identified in the market analysis based on population,
economic, and market trends, including data from broader nation-wide shifts and local trends of the
Boulder County region. The development types were reviewed against the existing and approved future
development stock across the city, and evaluated against other front range communities including
Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, and Arvada.
After collecting this information, the development types were analyzed to see where they could be
successful in the Civic Area’s East Bookend. Figure 4 outlines the key viable development types the East
Bookend could support: residential, food and beverage, retail and local employment. When compared
with the original goals of the 2015 Civic Area Plan, many of the suggested development types remain the
same, with a few additions, specifically in the residential market sector.

Figure 4: Development Types
From the development types above, and taking from the overall vision for the Civic Area, four high level
themes for the East Bookend emerged:
• Community Residential
• Food and Beverage
• Arts and Culture
• Health and Recreation
These four themes, either on their own or in combination, create an identity for the East Bookend that
supports civic use and creates a more attractive downtown for the community. The themes also lay a
foundation for next steps in seeking development partnerships with either private entities or nonprofits.
The purpose is to create a strong vision for redevelopment in this vital area at the heart of Boulder.
The project team is now exploring high level pro formas: financial models that illustrate what the
financial position would look like if specific development scenarios were built. This evaluation includes
the cost of development and operations in relation to the potential revenue generated.
Figure 5 shows three example high-level pro formas of different development scenarios for East
Bookend. Each of the three diagrams evaluates a different combination of East Bookend development
including mixed-use residential, retail (in food and beverage), public park space, and cultural buildings
(such as art galleries or a cultural center).

Figure 5: Example of Development Types with High Level Pro Forma Studies at East Bookend
Next steps would be to invite private sector and nonprofit groups to collaborate closely on potential
development opportunities with the city through a Request For Interest (RFI) process, seeking groups
interested in collaborating on the revitalization of East Bookend. This would help advance
redevelopment of the East Bookend by:
•Identifying potential partners in the private development sector and interested nonprofits to
collaborate on development
•Confirming the identified development types with members of the private sector, and create a
strategic plan for private development implementation and nonprofit partnerships with the city
•Identifying any other development types and partnerships not accounted for in the process
through conversations with interested parties
•Marketing the East Bookend themes to a broader audience and gaining regional and national
attention for development opportunities
Overall, this process can help to market the East Bookend to attract a visionary developer ready to forge
a strong alliance with the city and reimagine a brighter future for the downtown Civic Area. The
partnership can leverage the Farmers Market and create an expanded public space where local food,
events and community activities take center stage.
One recent example of this type of redevelopment is The Railyard in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This
redevelopment reworked the historic grounds of the railyards, creating an integrated plan that sought
to “transform the historic Railyard into a sustainable and inviting public space for recreational, social,
artistic, and commercial activities in a way that embraces Santa Fe’s cultural and historical significance
and upholds the community’s vision.” With year-round structures for the Santa Fe Farmers Market and
investment in space activation through programs, events, and easy booking of spaces, Railyards is now
thriving. It demonstrates how vision can become reality to reinvent a key space downtown.

Cities all over the nation look to reinvigorate their core downtown spaces, knowing these spaces
contribute to their economies in a big way, and Boulder is no different. Creating a bustling city center
with vibrant communities, local economies and pristine urban outdoor spaces is the path forward to a
successful Boulder community.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WINDOW 2 FINDINGS
From October to December 2024, the project team conducted the second engagement window to
confirm “What We Heard” in the first window and gain feedback on preliminary design ideas for the
Civic Area. Per council direction and existing policy, the project team prioritized equitable and
transparent engagement to ensure all community members could participate and feel heard throughout
this process.
Equity in Engagement
Plans for the second engagement window utilized the Racial Equity Instrument to better understand the
project team’s reach and whether the project was ensuring participation of historically excluded groups.
All engagement material was available in English and Spanish, and Spanish-speaking staff and
Community Connectors where involved every step of the way. In this second window, outreach
included:
o Two project Community Connectors who helped co-create engagement
Designing an equity-focused engagement process
Promoting engagement events to historically excluded communities
Evaluating public feedback and confirming representation of historically excluded
communities in the emerging design
o Engagement opportunities at locations with diverse participation
Pop-up stations showing the two design sketches were placed at the Main Library,
NoBo Library, and the three recreation centers in Boulder
These were left up for three weeks with options to write in answers or vote virtually
Results showed ample feedback from youth and other historically excluded groups
including responses in Spanish
o Community Connectors in Residence feedback sessions
Equity Instrument review: gaining insight on how to reach a wider audience
Spreading the word for engagement opportunities to historically excluded groups

Design Feedback and Themes
Two concept diagrams were created in response to design ideas heard from the public during previous
engagement. During this engagement window, community members voted for their favorite diagram,
Creekside Social or Adventure Loop, shown in Figures 6 and 7, as well as their favorite amenities in each.
This engagement activity informed prioritization for deciding which improvements to bring forward into
the concept design phase and pursue within the project budget.
The Creekside Social diagram illustrates a park that prioritizes flexible, welcoming social spaces to foster
community connection and passive opportunities to engage with nature. The Adventure Loop diagram
focuses on community requests for active recreation, nature immersion, and unique experiences,
creating a more intensely developed and programmed park approach. The project website includes
images of the below design diagrams in more detail.

The community also had a chance to submit open-ended comments in response to the Creekside Social
and Adventure Loop diagrams. Figure 8 shows the top themes, ranked in descending order, that
emerged from these comments. Unsocial behaviors and safety were the top themes shared by all
community members and by historically excluded groups. These themes were further organized into
four categories in which community members wanted to see change occur: placemaking (spatial design),
social behaviors (safety, rules and regulations), space activation (programming desires) and operations
and maintenance (taking care of what we have).

Figure 8: Emerging Themes from Open Ended Comments
MAJOR PRIORITIES ADVANCING INTO THE DESIGN PHASE
Design ideas have emerged with key civic amenities and space activation ideas being identified by the
community and then evaluated alongside feasibility and existing policy guidance. The project team
identified the most popular amenities that emerged from community input in engagement windows 1
and 2:
•Expanded, year-round Farmers Market
•Community gathering areas such as a Beer Garden, Teen Hub and Nature Center
•Boulder Beach to create a vibrant gathering area that is safe, fun, and connected to nature
•Food Truck Plaza to support events and space activation
•Creek Walk that creates better access to the creek and preserves the natural feel
•Zipline along the Arboretum Path
Figure 6 below shows a more extensive list of the most popular features from both diagrams, with the
top six most popular highlighted in red. The diagram shows general ideas; their scale and location are
conceptual only.

Figure 6: Most Popular Features from Engagement Window 2 Diagrams
Additionally, by partnering with Growing Up Boulder (GUB) and working with Boulder High School
students, the idea of creating a ‘third space’ for teens emerged as a top priority. Students identified a
need for a safe, flexible, and affordable space such as a teen-run café where they can connect and relax
after school.
GUB is also working on engagement with elementary students and preschoolers to gather insight on
designing a park where youth can explore the natural environment, learn, and be creative. A nature
center or field station—an outdoor recreation and learning hub designed for all-ages programming—is
one popular idea that could serve this purpose.
Parallel to the design process, the project team is also developing a Park Management Plan to ensure
that once the renovations are complete and ribbon cutting occurs, partnerships are in place for space
activation, operations and enforcement of rules. The summary below highlights how the emerging
design will be supported by several parallel processes to ensure success for the Civic Area Phase 2
project:
•Connecting to Nature Engagement Series: In the spring of this year, the Día del Niño (Children’s
Day) event will launch the city’s Connecting to Nature engagement series, set to extend
throughout the summer with kids concerts, picnics, and a pop-up nature play in Central Park.
The launch event will have an interactive, community-built mural guided by a local artist. This
will start the effort to form identity and storytelling in Civic Area and the nature play
engagement series will act not only as the third window of engagement but help activate the
space throughout the summer.
•Space Activation Collaboration: The project team is establishing key partnerships with
community organizations from around the city that would like to support programming and
activation within Civic Area. The project team sees the collaboration launching this year as a way
to implement the recommendation from council to partner with community organizations,
Item 6A -
Civic Area Planning Analysis
and Emerging Priorities
Page 13
Packet Page 463 of 568
nonprofits and other key community stakeholders in bringing Civic Area to life—as well as
supporting the work to make the engagement process more equitable and transparent.
•Social Behaviors - Operations and Safety Team: Feedback from the community and City Council
identifies the need to define acceptable social behaviors that reflect the community's shared
goals for Civic Area to create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space for everyone. As part of
developing the Park Management Plan, the project team is coordinating with the Safe and
Managed Public Spaces team (SAMPS), the Boulder Police Department, the Housing and Human
Services Department and others to address community concerns about safety in the Civic Area.
•Governance Strategic Group: The project team is working closely with the Community Vitality
Department to coordinate governance for the Civic Area in conjunction with the Districts
Analysis and Commercial Areas Blueprint to align with larger city-wide goals across Boulder’s
major urban districts. Governance evaluation started in 2024 and will run through 2026 in
alignment with these parallel efforts.
NEXT STEPS
The team will take findings from the planning analysis phase, including community engagement and
council input, to develop the concept plan for the Civic Area, which will be ready by the end of Q2. With
the concept plan in place, a third engagement window will be held for community input on the concept
design plan through the summer. Based on findings from engagement window 3, the team will bring the
design concept plan to council in Q4 for questions and feedback. A critical part of the feedback will be to
identify what aspects of the design concept plan will be prioritized for the $18 million dollars in funding.
With this information in hand, the identified priorities will inform what moves forward into the final
stages of the project, schematic design, construction drawings and implementation of phase 2.
Project Touch Points:
•Planning Analysis

City Center. Unified Public Space. Space for All.
Boulder’s Civic Area has symbolic, geographic, and functional
importance and should serve as an inclusive place for people
to interact with each other and with government. The area
should be complementary to Pearl Street and Downtown.
Flood Safety. Secure and Protected Environment for All.
Boulder’s Civic Area is located within the 100-year flood-
plain, with much in the High Hazard Zone (HHZ). Existing
conditions within the Civic Area can create unsafe experienc-
es for those visiting, special consideration should be placed
Cohesive Green Space. Creek Access. Recreation.
Boulder’s Civic Area is a central place to enjoy the outdoors
in the middle of the city. The linear “green” along Boulder
Creek will be a unifying focus, providing natural beauty,
ecological function and connection to nature.
Integrated & Inclusive History. Celebrate Historic Assets.
Boulder’s Civic Area has a historical focus and many long-
standing functions and facilities highly valued by the
community, such as the library, Sister City Plaza, Farmers’
Market and Teahouse. Historical stories should be celebrated
Connected & Multi-modal. Universal Access.
Boulder’s Civic Area has well-used bicycle and pedestrian
amenities and convenient transit connections, serving as
both an important destination and connector. Travel within
and access to the area will continue to be improved to
Cultural Hub. Arts and Entertainment. Consistent Activation.
The Civic Area offers potential to become the cultural center
of Boulder, fostering cultural, arts, science, educational or
entertainment amenities that are otherwise lacking in the
community.
Environmentally & Economically Sustainable.
All future uses and changes in Boulder’s Civic Area’s public
properties will exemplify the community’s sustainability
values (i.e., economic, social and environmental).
The 2015 Civic Area
Plan establishes seven

Pre-1850sPre-1850s
The creek side land is a
sacred and essential part
of the ancestral homelands
of Indigenous Peoples who
have lived on and traveled
through them since time
immemorial. Boulder has an
archival silence,
or gap, in our historical
record, for the Native
American/Indigenous
perspective of history.
1850s - 1880s1850s - 1880s
Boulder City Town Company
ignored the 1851 Treaty of
Fort Laramie and claimed
1,280 acres alongside
Boulder Creek to establish
the future town. In 1871, the
City of Boulder was officially
incorporated. In 1873,
railroads arrived in Boulder.
Boulder initially served as
a mining supply town for
the mining activity in the
foothills of the Rockies. This
is also the first record of
houses constructed along
the Creek near 11th St and
Water St. Three ditches were
dug across the area by 1871,
used to provide irrigation
to farms. Train lines and the
freight depot at 10th St and
1930s - 1960s1930s - 1960s
New structures were built:
The Bandshell in 1938; The
Municipal Building in 1951;
a train car monument; the
library; the Atrium Building
in 1969.
Counterculture activists
came to Boulder to advocate
for peace. These “flower
children” gathered publicly
and often lived on public
land. Due to some residents’
concerns about open drug
use and the counterculture
movement, the City
Manager banned outdoor
concerts in Central Park
to try to deter this “hippie
element” in 1969.
1890s1890s
The 1890s were marked
by a catastrophic flood
in 1894. This area proved
to be challenging for
residents as it is within
the floodplain, however,
many residents remained
due to lack of options.
Both Black and white
residents lived in the six
houses along the north
side of the creek between
Broadway and 9th St. A few
houses served as brothels
1990s - 1910s1990s - 1910s
Commercial buildings
were constructed in the
area due to the proximity
to the rail lines, notably a
coal gasification plant, a
fruit warehouse and the
City Storage and Transfer
Building.
In 1907, the Boulder City
Improvement Association
contacted Frederick Law
Olmsted, Jr. to request
advice on “how to improve
our city.” Olmsted, Jr.
published a report that
included advice on flood
preparation, drawing focus
to the creek.
Olmsted Jr.’s planning work
1920s1920s
The city began to purchase
the lots between 10th and
11th Streets, displacing
residents.
Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr.
prepared a “Report on the
Improvement of Boulder
Creek” for the area that
spanned the length of the
creek from 9th to 17th
Streets, with the intention
of mitigating flood damage.
The plan was to be funded
by a new parks bond, but the
bond issue failed, so the city
moved forward with a plan
for a smaller area. Olmsted,
Jr.’s firm prepared plans for
“Park and Boulder Creek”,
establishing Central Park as
1970s - 1980s1970s - 1980s
The train monument
caboose, which was
destroyed in 1958 by
vandals, was replaced in
1975 after a community-
led fundraising drive. The
Dushanbe Teahouse was
accepted as a gift from the
people of Tajikistan. The
Boulder Creek Path was
constructed through Central
Park alongside the creek.
A community-led effort
to “Save the Bandshell”
resulted in its historic
designation. Free summer
concerts were promoted
for the park. Since 1987, the
Farmers Market has been
held on 13th St.

Transportation & Mobility Summary
34Site Anal-
This summary below outlines major transportation and mobility issues facing the Boulder Civic Area.
These include addressing barriers posed by adjacent roadways, enhancing connections to transit
stations, and optimizing multi-modal access while preserving park space.
Issues Summary
1.Universal and Equitable Access
•Major roadways adjacent to the Park function as access barriers to the site as well as
disrupting views and causing noise issues. A review of crossing treatments and signal
operations at key crossings should be undertaken. It should be determined whether any
new crossing treatments should be added. Streetscape enhancements which would screen
the site from these roadways should be also be considered.
•ADA circulation as well as access to programming and amenities should be studied for all
disabilities to create a cohesive and welcoming space for all.
•The cost of parking for the park is a barrier. There have been community requests for a
free shuttle that accesses the library, park, and Pearl Street to help lower barriers for all
community members
2.A strong connection is needed between the Civic Area & the RTD Station.
The additional transit facilities on 14th Street, adjacent to the site, will help provide this
connection. The site design should connect 14th Street to the east end with walking and
bicycling facilities.
3.There is excellent multi-modal connection to the park from two major multi-use paths which
pass through the Civic Area and intersect.
These facilities present an opportunity for enhanced non-motor vehicle access to the site.
However, determinations will have to be made about how those facilities move through the
site and serve their transportation function while minimizing impact on park space. There is
an unresolved decision on the need for and alignment of a direct connection to the 13th and
Canyon intersection.
4.13th Street within the Park has been identified as a key location for change.
Options include a shared street, an event street or a car-free space. In addition, changes to 13th
Street’s transportation use may influence bicycle facilities and parking need. Decisions about
13th Street need to be made in consideration of those challenges and opportunities.
5.Adequate parking will be key to successful access to the Park.
Some existing parking will be removed and some new land uses will generate additional
parking. In addition, the demand for parking at the RTD station and the station’s current supply
of parking in determining the parking needs for the Park. Parking structures are likely going to
be needed to accommodate parking demand.
6.The Arboretum Path connects the Civic Area and the new hotel/conference center at the
University of Colorado.
The people using the center provide a great opportunity for new users of the Park. However,
it will be important to make sure that the connection between the two sites feels safe and
comfortable for people walking and biking between them. A sense of wayfinding will be
needed to make connections to the Civic Area, and beyond to Pearl Street and the rest of
downtown from the Hill.

The Civic Area can benefit from a
cohesive identity that supports a
sense of arrival and a welcoming and
inclusive space that is a green and civic
hub.
The floodplain poses a number of
restrictions on development, and
there is a need for all visitors to feel
safe and welcome on site.
There are opportunities to further
promote a vibrant outdoor culture
and site activities by supporting
habitat and introducing more
activities for a range of users.
Boulder’s rich history and Civic Area
assets can be celebrated by featuring
more historical storytelling in the
site’s design and programming.
The pedestrian and bike experience
on site can be improved by
better connecting to surrounding
destinations.
Civic Area can become a more
accessible event host, providing
diverse spaces for community
activity, arts, and culture.
There is an opportunity to increase
ecological function and climate
resiliency in Civic Area, serving as a
model.

Penfield Tate II
Municipal Building
In 2020, the City of Boulder renamed the Municipal Building, located at 1777
Broadway, in honor of Penfield Tate II, Boulder’s first and only African American
mayor, to celebrate his contributions to the Boulder community.
In 1971, Tate became the first African American elected to Boulder City Council. In
1974, council members elected him Boulder’s mayor. Tate is celebrated as a strong
and involved leader who stood up for the rights and protections of minority groups,
including the LGBTQ+ community, at a time when few people would.
The building was designed by James M. Hunter & Assoc and built in 1951. The second
phase was completed in 1962.
Today, the building houses the Boulder City Council and hosts many public meetings.
Glen Huntington
Bandshell
The Glen Huntington Bandshell, located in Boulder’s Central Park, is a historical
landmark significant for its distinctive architectural style and cultural importance.
Designed by architect Glen Huntington and built in 1938, the Bandshell exemplifies
the Art Deco style, characterized by its unique bandshell shape, streamline modern
design elements, and the use of local stone, which helps it blend naturally with its
park setting.
The Bandshell was created as part of a larger civic improvement effort during the
Great Depression, funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which
aimed to enhance public spaces and provide employment. It has served as a central
venue for community events, concerts, and gatherings in Boulder for decades,
fostering a strong sense of community and cultural expression. As a recognized
historic landmark, the Glen Huntington Bandshell is not only a testament to
Boulder’s architectural and cultural history but also reflects the city’s ongoing
commitment to preserving its historical sites. Its presence in the Boulder Civic
Area underscores the area’s importance as a hub for community and cultural
activities, making it a key feature in any considerations of the area’s development
or redesign.

The Atrium Building
The Atrium was built as a bank for Midland Savings and Loan in an area on Canyon
Boulevard where four other banks were located as the street became a major
Boulder thoroughfare. Several branch banks for Midland Savings and Loan were
designed by Wagener, all are dominated by an expressive roof form. This building is
crowned with a large skylight at the apex of the roof pyramid and originally had a
double-height atrium space in the main hall. Stone columns support the roof and
frame its large storefront windows.
This landmark status reflects Boulder’s commitment to preserving its architectural
history despite the development pressures in the area, often referred to as the
“east bookend” of the civic center.
The City of Boulder owns this building and has used it since the 1980s for
government offices. In 2022, the City Council voted to landmark the building.
It is anticipated that the property will be re-purposed once the city offices are
relocated.
Boulder-Dushanbe
Teahouse
The Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse is a symbol of international friendship and
cultural exchange, located in the heart of Boulder, Colorado. It was a gift from
Boulder’s sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and was constructed in 1987. The
teahouse was meticulously crafted by more than 40 artisans in Tajikistan and
then shipped to Boulder, where it was reassembled and opened to the public in
1998.
Architecturally, the teahouse is renowned for its intricate and vibrant hand-
painted ceramic tiles, carved cedar columns, and a Persian-inspired fountain, all of
which reflect the rich artistic traditions of Tajikistan. Its design and decorations
incorporate traditional Persian elements, symbolizing the shared human values
and the connection between the East and the West.
Today, the Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse serves as a restaurant and cultural center,
offering a menu that blends Eastern and Western culinary traditions and hosting
various cultural, private, and community events. It stands not only as a popular
culinary destination but also as a monument to cross-cultural friendship and

City Storage and Transfer Building
The City Storage and Transfer Building is a historical building with a rich legacy
that spans over a century. Established in 1906, it initially served as the warehouse
and offices for the City Storage and Transfer, a company founded by Martin B.
Larson. The building’s significance is enhanced by its continuous adaptation and
expansion, including an addition in 1931 that nearly doubled its size, and the
construction of another building at 1730 13th Street in 1946 to accommodate the
growing business. Ownership of the building transferred to the City of Boulder in
the late 1970s after the company had renamed itself City Moving and Storage, Inc.
Since its acquisition by the city, the building has served as a cultural hub, initially
housing the Boulder Art Center and subsequently known by various names
including the Boulder Center for the Visual Arts (BCVA) and currently the Boulder
Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA). Throughout its history, the building
has retained its cultural significance, continually serving as a vital space for
community engagement and the arts. This historical trajectory from a functional
storage facility to a cornerstone of Boulder’s cultural community underscores the
building’s adaptability and the city’s commitment to preserving and re-purposing

Definition:
Transitional area between permanently saturated wetlands and upland terrestrial ar-
eas. Topography, soils, and available moisture sustain a wide range of plant species.
Ecosysystem services:
•Foothills riparian shrublands support the highest breeding bird densities of any City
of Boulder, Open Space and Mountain Park ecosystem.
•The majority of species in the nearby ecoregions rely on riparian forests at some point
in their life cycle.
•Healthy riparian habitats sequester carbon and are valuable for mitigating climate
change. Riparian areas include woody plant material and build organic matter in soils.
•Although they comprise less than 2% of the state’s land cover, riparian areas supply
habitat for approximately 80% of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish na-
tive to Colorado (Knopf 1985).
Unique features:
•Rare habitat: The Narrowleaf Cottonwood / Bluestem Willow Woodland plant asso-
ciation is found ONLY along the foothills streams of the Colorado Front Range and in
the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico.
•Riparian areas in built environments host continuous stands of forest, where in the
past creeks may have been characterized by smaller stands of trees interspersed with
herbaceous or shrub vegetation. (Grassland Ecosystem Management Plan, 2010).
•The riparian habitat along Boulder Creek in the project area displays a unique hybrid
of Foothill riparian and Plains riparian plant communities.
•Seasonal and episodic flooding is a primary driver of this ecosystem and is essential
to maintaining a mosaic of plant associations.
Design considerations:
•Protect vegetated areas from compaction and enhance in-stream flows.

COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS
As Chats with Council are designed to advance meaningful and inclusive community
engagement, the sustainability impacts of each event are anticipated to be positive and include
fostering connection, participating in constructive dialogue with elected officials, and cultivating
a deeper trust in city government.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, Boulder City Council committed to continue trying new approaches to engage
community members who do not typically participate in council matters and formal meetings.
The purpose of Chats with Council is to give a more diverse set of community members a
convenient, drop-in opportunity to engage with their elected officials. These engagement
opportunities are designed to promote short, two-way conversations about issues that matter
most to residents and others in the city. The idea originated from council members, who are often
as frustrated as community members by the lack of time to have meaningful conversations
during open comment or public hearings.
Past sessions have featured one to three participating council members at each event, with no
formal agenda or presentation. Community members are welcome to come by anytime during
sessions and stay for as long – or as short – as they wish.

Information Item A: Update on March 7th
Chat with Council

Packet Page 556 of 568
When everyone participating wants to discuss one topic, the conversations can be more in-depth.
If there are a variety of topics participants wish to discuss, a staff coordinator captures the topics
and seeks to make time for as many of these as possible. Some experimentation has also
occurred around smaller, more focused audiences, especially when there are specific language
needs, as well as rotating stations that can be particularly effective when the participant group is
large. Some sessions have also featured walks that combine elements of a tour with more casual
conversation.
Chats are designed to provide a forum for an initial contact between community members and
City Council, and council members are then encouraged to share what they heard with their
colleagues and continue conversations with community members as desired. While staff
facilitate post-event follow-up in the form of a brief questionnaire and shares notes from the
event with community members, staff do not possess capacity to create ongoing feedback loops
or communication mechanisms for each Chat with Council.
ANALYSIS
While staff had initially planned small group conversations with dedicated notetakers in each
group, the event format adapted in response to last-minute council member absences. The ratio
of council members to community members was not conducive to small group conversations
since each person would receive limited time for back-and-forth dialogue in groups of 15 or
more people. Staff adapted the format to more of a meet and greet reception format to promote
individual dialogues between community members, the two council members, and city staff in
attendance while also encouraging networking and community building among attendees
themselves. Staff and council members reported on the following repeated themes from the
conversations with members of the arts and culture community:
1. Greater support for broad, year-round marketing efforts to increase visibility and
awareness of the arts in Boulder.
a. Community members mentioned the importance of generating more support for
arts among the whole community and, in doing so, making Boulder more of an
“arts destination.”
i. Boulder Arts Week is one example of a broad effort to increase visibility
and awareness.
ii. Additional opportunities could include consistent, year-round artist
markets and similar venues for artisans to sell products and wares.
iii. Opportunities to promote Boulder as an arts community outside of the
City to bring in visitors and entice workers.
b. Identify spaces in the community that can be activated and transformed through
arts and creative interventions to enhance community vitality and promote the arts
and culture industry.
i. If these spaces already exist, how can we ensure community members are
aware of them and that they are affordable for community use?
2. Additional direct assistance for artists and creatives. Several ideas were shared:
a. Housing for visiting artists
b. Live/work spaces for artists and creatives such as the ArtSpace model
Information Item A: Update on March 7th
Chat with Council
Page 4
Packet Page 557 of 568
c. Affordable and attainable housing options for rent and purchase for artists in the
community
3. Continued financial assistance for businesses in the creative sector. Specifically,
participants recommended:
a. Support for venues such as theaters and galleries in the city
b. Focused support for small businesses in the creative sector
c. Funding assistance for organizations that were bolstered by ARPA dollars during
the COVID-19 pandemic
d. Assistance with costs related to commercial leasing, particularly high energy bills
and increasing property taxes
4. Desire for additional, ongoing engagement with individual artists and creative sector
leaders in Boulder.
a. Participants mentioned frustration with the Western City Campus engagement
process and felt that the input they provided at open houses was not incorporated
into the project.
b. Some participants appreciated individual conversations with council members at
the March 7th Chat with Council, while others were disappointed in the lack of a
more formal, moderated discussion. Potential options for future engagement could
address this feedback and be structured differently.
5. Concerns about 2A funding.
a. Community members expressed concerns about the allocation of funds from the
2A Arts, Culture, and Heritage Tax.
b. Local advocacy groups, such as Create Boulder and the 2A Petition, advocate for
directing the entirety of the tax revenue toward grants, venues, and direct support
for artists.
City Staff Note on Theme #5, Concerns about 2A funding:
Since its passage in 2023, the City of Boulder has allocated 2A funds in alignment
with the language of the tax measure. Staff conducted a short-term needs
assessment to evaluate immediate priorities, including extensive engagement with
nonprofits, to structure the 2024 budget. The community’s immediate needs,
articulated during that engagement, are currently being met.
Given ongoing budget constraints and the structural impact of a dedicated tax, the
city must allocate a portion of the revenue to essential staff salaries and
administrative costs to effectively manage and implement arts programs. These
programs include a multimillion-dollar public art initiative, a $1.3 million grant
program, research and evaluation efforts, and other critical cultural initiatives.
These professionals are vital to ensure the smooth distribution of grants, the
coordination of cultural programming, the long-term sustainability of Boulder’s
arts sector, and good stewardship of the 2A fund. Misinformation has been
circulating in the community, and was heard at the Chat with Council, that 41% of
Information Item A: Update on March 7th
Chat with Council
Page 5
Packet Page 558 of 568
the 2024 budget is dedicated to administration. This is not accurate: the actual
figure is 24%.
While the City acknowledges community concerns, it remains committed to
transparency and ongoing dialogue to balance operational needs with direct
funding for arts organizations.
NEXT STEPS
These themes will be shared with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) update team
in the context of the Boulder Arts Blueprint planning that is integrated with the BVCP update.
Also, the Arts Blueprint research project is underway and includes analysis of current conditions
and data, benchmarking against other cities, a literature review, collaboration on data projects
and analysis from the BVCP update, and community engagement.
