REQUESTING DEPARTMENTS: Ruth McHeyser, F_,xecutive Director of Community planning David Gehr, Deputy City Attorney Susan Richstone, Long Range Division Manager Louise Grauer, Senior Planner, Long Range Planning Molly Winter, Director, Downtown and University Hill Management Division and Parking Services Martha Roskowski, Go Boulder. Manager, Public Works/ Transportation Randall Rutsch, Senior Planner, Public Works/Transportation EXECUTIVE S[J1VICVIARY: The purpose of this item is for Planning Board to make a recommendation to City Council on the following proposed ordinance (See Attachment A) amending the city's land use regulations including: 1. Revisions to the RH-3 zone district; 2. Proposed new and revised zone districts, MU-4, RH-7, RH-6, to implement Phase 1 of the `Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP); 3. Proposed changes to the rezoning criteria (9-2-18) to implement TVAP; 4. A proposed new Trip Generation Requirements Ordinance (9-9-22) to implement the Transportation Demand Management goals in `TVAP. Planning Board reviewed the proposed zone districts on September 4 and September 2S, and City Council reviewed the proposed zone districts on June 3. Planning Board minutes of September 2S are included in Attachment B and the Weekly Information Packet (WIP} which summarizes the City Council discussion is included in Attachment C. These proposed new ordinance changes are described below. "This memo also includes additional information on the work to date on the ,proposed parking district for TVAP. 1 Revisions to the existing Residential High-3 RH-3) As discussed at the September 4 and 25 Planning Board meetings, for the existing RH-3 zone located along the 28t~ Street Frontage Road and at the Peloton, staff proposes the following changes to improve the existing zone and ensure better projects in the future without creating nonconforming uses: • Add criteria to the open space section to improve and enhance the open space; Agenda Item ~ Page 1 • Add the requirement that a fourth story not exceed 70 percent of the third story; • Add the intent that any rezoning to RH-3 should be in an area where there is an adopted Transportation Netluork Plan or an existing fine-grained street network in place. 2 New TVAP zone districts: RH-7, MU-4, RH-6 For the new TVAP zone districts, new elements in these zones include long term bicycle parking, trip generation requirements, and unbundled parking. The following three zone districts proposed for implementing Phase 1 of TVAP are shown on the map below. _ t; ~ , ~ New Residential High- 7 (RH-~ ~u ~ ~s ~ rJ~ ~ i:~ , This new zone for the TVAP High Density Residential ~°~y=°--~~-°" - -21and use area is modeled after RH-3.

The e maximum FAR includes all above gnound floor area and no below ground floor area. Other changes include: • A .5 maximum nonresidential FAR limit which can be increased to .75 through criteria to be included ila: Section 9-8-3; • A maximum of one on-site auto parking space per residential unit and two long term bike parking spaces per unit. Additional spaces, if needed, can be leased off-site; Residential High - 6 (RH-6) This new zone for the TVAP High. Density Residential -1 (HDR-1) land use area is primarily for townhouse units. It includes the following standards: • A minimum lot area per dwelling unit requiting 1800 square feet; • Minimum private open space per dwelling unit of 600 square feet; • Some flexibility in uses allowed such as home offices and studios. 3. Proposed Additions to the Rezoning Criteria The Implementation Plan, adopted with the Area Plan, identifies regulatory changes needed to implement the plan (TVAP hmplementation Plan pages 1-2) as follows: • The city will initiate a process for making BVCP land use map changes and rezoning after completion of the following: "Adoption of a concurrency ordinance that includes standards to ensure adequate public infrastructure consistent with the plan is in place prior to rezoning and/os development." Agenda Item: Page 2 Revisions to section 9-2-18 Rezoning (See Attachment A} require any rezoning application in the zone districts RH-3, RH-7, MU-4, and RH-6 to meet the following additional criteria: • Implement a Transportation Coruiections Plan; • Join a parking district if available; and. • Provide Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater services as described and called for any adopted plans or regulations. 4 Proposed Trip Generation Ordinance to Im~~lement the Trans»ortation Demand Management TDM Goals The proposed new Trip Generation ordinance (Attachment A) sets out vehicle trip generation standards for developments in the proposed new zone districts MU-4, RH-7, and RH-6. These standards require that at least fifty-five (55) percent of the trips expected during the highest peak travel time not occur in a single occupant vehicle (SOV). Developments not served by a general improvement district or other approved organization must fulfill the TDM and trip generation requirements individually, while the district will fulfill these requirements for its members. STAFF R)CCOMMCNDATIONS: Staff recommends that Planning Board recommend to City Council adoption of the proposed ordinance amending `fide 9, I3.R.C. 1981, creating the MU-4, RIB-C, and RH-7 zoning districts, amending standards for the RH-3 zoning district, amending the requirements for site review, parking, open space, trip generation requirements, rezoning, and other changes related to the implementation of the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) and setting forth related details. PUBLIC INPUT: Staff has held several meetings with phase 1 property owners and developers since last fall to discuss implementation of the 'TVAP. Staff held a public meeting on September 3 including TVAP and RI-I-3 property owners to provide information on the new zones and proposed changes to the RH-3 cone district. The web site link for the proposed draft ordinance and memo was sent to TVAP property owners. A workshop session with developers/ property owners will be held on January 20 to brainstorm ideas and strategies for the future parking district. BACKGROt1ND: The Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) and the Implementation Plan were approved in September 2007. There are a number of action items identified in the Implementation flan needed to implement the Area Plan, see Attachment E for responsibilities and timeline. The first action item in the Implementation Plan is to adopt new zone districts to implement TVAP. Planning Board and City Council held the following meetings to discuss alternative concepts and approaches for the three new zone districts: Planz~in Bg oard November 15, 2007; January 24, 2008 Briefing; Joint Study Session with City Council February 13; May 15, 2008; September 4, 2008; September 25, 2008. Agenda item:~lPage 3 City Council Joint Study Session with Planning Board February 13, 2008; June 3, 2008; October 21, 2008 Briefing. At their June 3, 2008 meeting, Council generally supported the components of these zones and identified five additional issues which are described in the Weekly Information Packet (WIP) of October 1G, see Attachment C. Planning Board raised the following issue at their last meeting: ¦ Shoarld we be adding new zvne districts? There are several requirements pertaining to parking and a new trip generation ordinance that are unique to the three new TVAP zones. It will be more straightforward to create new zones with these requirements rather than try to differentiate how to apply the new requirements to existing zones. ANALYSIS: 1. Revisions to the Existing Residential High -3 (RII-3) The original purpose of this zone district was to: ¦ Allow higher residential densities in close proximity to either a primary destination or a transit center; ¦ Encourage a new pedestrian-oriented neighborhood with limited neighborhood-serving retail uses allowed by right; ¦ Improve the design of the streetscape by requiring buildings to be built close to the street, with less parking required and underground parking included whenever possible; ¦ Provide new residents in this zone an adequate amount of functional open space. At its September 4, 2008 meeting, Planning Board toured three projects: Flatirons Terraces at Golden West Vlanor, completed; Landmark Lofts 1, under construction, and the Peloton, mostly completed. They discussed and identified the positive and negative attributes of the projects they visited and recommended some changes or tweaks to the existing RH-3 zone district. Plaiu~ing Board would like to avoid superblocks and achieve better building articulation tluough a transportation network or fine grained grid of roads, alleys and pedestrian paths, better crafted open space, and variation in cornice lines and upper story setbacks without dictating additional standards that could result in increased uniformity. The intensity of this zone is based on an amount of required open space (60 percent) which can be reduced as low as 30 percent if certain standards are met for the open space. Planning Board members discussed and identified issues that they felt could be improved upon in the RI-1-3 zone district: ¦ Ensure that an adopted Transportation Network Plan or afine-grained street network is in place prior to any rezoning to RI I-3. This includes rights-of--way to create a gridded street pattern. Staff recommends that Planning Board adopt the Transportation Connections Plan that was prepared for the 28`h Street Frontage Road area at the time that the zone district was adopted. Staff will review the Plait for any changes that might need to be made based on the projects that have been completed, are under construction, or approved, and bring a proposed 28`" Street Frontage Road Network Plan to Platuiing Board in several months for consideration. ¦ There was considerable discussion about how to improve the aesthetic and functional quality of the open space, particularly open space to be used by residents and neighbors, either for active or passive uses. Additional criteria have been included based on Agenda Item'`, Page 4 discussions with Planning Board. They are included in the ordinance in 9-9-11(e)(3) (A) - (E) and include: o Provide southern exposure to provide sunlight into the open space; o Hard surface areas shall be paved with unit pavers such as bricks or quarry tiles or porous pavers, or poured-in-place materials. If poured -in-place materials, they shall be of decorative color or textures; o At least 25 percent of the area shall be dedicated to gathering areas that include amenities such as seating, tables, grills, plantings, trees, shade, playground equipment, and lighting; o The required open space shall be visible from an adjoining public sidewalk along street frontage; azid o All open spaces shall provide a minimum of one tree per 1000 square feet of space, planted in the ground or accommodated in tree vaults over parking garages. ¦ Improve the building articulation of the upper stories. Add the standard that a 4'i' story can only be 70 percent of the third stony. The intent of this requirement is to allow for flexibility in achieving building articulation. 2. New 'Lone Districts to Implement TVAP, RH-7, iVIL-4, and RIB-6 The three new zone districts to implement TVAP reflect the unique characteristics which were adopted. for the area as part of the Area Plan. They include a number of parking and Transportation Demand Management ('I'DM) stratelries and code changes common to all three new zone districts to help manage increased automobile usage and reach the goal minimizing the impact of development on the transportation system by increasing transit, bicycle and pedestrian use. These include: ¦ Unbundled parking or the purchase of parking separate from the primary use, either residential or nonresidential. This creates a market for parking and increases the efficient utilization of available parking. By allowing by- right parking as a primary use on a parcel, owners and tenants can lease parking spaces at other locations thus allowing parking to 6e provided at other locations until the parking district is fully operational. • Parking maximums or caps for each land use to reduce the amount of parking and its impact on the built form, and to encourage the use of alternate modes, transit, bicycle, and walking. Additional parking could be available for lease at other locations including the possible parking district. Long term covered and secure bicycle parking to be provided for residents and employees. Staff has taken this opportunity to identify new nonresidential long term bike parking standards for employees and residents and short term bike parking for customers and visitors. They are based on the percentage of the required auto parking which in effect is based on the number of employees determined by the building square feet. Residential parking would be per dwelling unit. Bicycle parking should be appropriately located and screened. Anew section of the code, 9-9-22, Trip Generation Requirements for the MU-4, IZH-6, and RH-7 zoning districts, includes requirements for developments in these zones not served by a general improvement district or other approved organization that provides transportation related services. The purpose of this new code section is to: 1. Provide approaches to mitigate the impacts of traffic generated by development and redevelopment; 2. Ensure that the amount of land used for parking is the minimum necessary to serve development in the area; Agenda Item:.Page 5 3. Provide opportunities for parking that is provided in a development to be used in an efficient manner during all times of the day or evening. Residential High-7(RH-7) zone district to implement the High Density Residential -2 (HDR-2) Land Use The Plan describes the following vision for residential land uses: To meet diverse needs and incomes, the Plan provides,for a variety of housing types from urban townhouses to stacked flats and live/work units. The HDR2 land use will include stacked flats and lofts with underground or structured parking at two to five stories. Housing prices will range from affordable to high-end market rate. Affordable housing will be obtained through the city's Inclusionary Zoning requirements and could result in 300 to 475 new permanently affordable housing units overall. With elevators and one- story living, this prototype nzay be appropriate for people with disabilities and seniors. Orient buildings adjacent to Uoose Creek Greenway to benef t from that amenity and provide direct access to the greenway. In addition, the intent should include: Building height should be articulated and super blocks should be avoided. This can be accomplished with a number of elements: a transportation network or fine-grained grid which includes roads, alleys and pedestrian paths to break up large parcels; accessible and visual open space that provides visual relief; and variation in cornice lines and upper story setbacks. The RI-I-7 zone is based on RH-3 and includes the revisions described above under RH-3. In addition, it will include the parking and trip generation requirements unique to the three zones described above: parking caps, parking unbundling, trip budgets, TDM strategies and long term bicycle parking. Mixed Use-4 (MU-4) zone district to implement the TV Mixed Use-2 land use area Planning Board has had several discussions about the new proposed MU-4 zone. The Plan describes the following vision for the phase 1 mixed use areas: The plan provides for a high percentage of mixed-use development. This will provide flexibility for changes in market demand. Predominant uses in mixed-use areas could be business or residential, with homes vertically (above businesses) or horizontally (residential buildings next to commercial buildings). It will include three-to four story buildings; 1.5 to 2. D floor area ratio; mostly structured or first floor parking; and may include some surface parking. (TV~II', page I S & 17) MU-4 is rnodeled on the existing Business Main Street (BMS) zone with a higher floor area ratio (FAR): BMS is one of the city's form-based zoning districts. It is a main street business zone that serves the surrounding residential and employment neighborhoods and ispedestrian- oriented, with buildings close to the street and parking behind or under buildings. It reflects a vibrant neighborhood center that is more than just stores. It is a place to live, shop, work, recreate, and meet friends and neighbors. Fewer parking spaces are required than in other zones because of the mix of uses and the location near transit, bike routes, and on-street parking along a grid of streets. To ensure that parking lots do not predominate, the number of on-site parking spaces is limited. Agenda ItemPage 6 Standards proposed in the ordinance for the MU-4 zone district include the following: • The form of MU-4 is similar to BMS, with buildings framing the public right-of--way of the street, with neighborhood-serving retail uses on the ground floor where possible; • Similar to the RH-3 and RH-7, a fourth floor can only be 70 percent of the third floor. • Anew Intensity District 24.5 which allows a total floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.0; • A .5 maximum nonresidential FAR limit. The rationale for a FAR maximum for nonresidential uses is to ensure a significant amount of residential uses to create a viable neighborhood, to increase the amount of permanently affordable housing, and to provide a sustainable place to live with viable travel options. The.S can be increased to .75 through criteria in Section 9-8-3: o For parcels located within 100 feet of a major arterials; o For parcels located within 100 feet of the railroad tracks. • Fifteen (15} percent Minimum Open Space on Lots (Residential or Nonresidential Uses); • A maximum of one on-site auto parking space per residential unit; • "I'wo long term bike parking spaces per unit to be appropriately located and screened ; • Additional long term bike parking spaces for nonresidential uses; • Unbundled. parking; • Do not count any "below grade area" in the floor area ratio (FAR) limit. Staff recommends only counting above grade floor area including above grade parking in the maximum FAR. • Vehicle trip generation and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements, described below. Residential High 6 (RH-6) to implement the High Density Residential -1 land use area One of the goals of TVAP is to include: A variety of housing types at a range of prices from market rate to affordable (including housing for very low, low, moderate and middle income hozzseholds) to meet diverse needs (workforce housing, senior housing, family housing, housing fvr special populations s uch as those with disabilities). (TVAP, page 11.) For the Land use area High Density Residential -1 (HDR-1) the Plan says: it is intended for "urban townhvuses with individual garages, surface parking- yr underground parking; mainly 2 to 3 stories at 1 S to 24 dwelling units per acre. " (TVAP, page 16.) Townhouses provide a housing choice which maybe more appealing to couples, families, sezuors, and empty nesters. 'there is no existing residential zone at a similar density that is designed primarily for townhouses. This zone district restricts housing type to townhouses only. A summary of the proposed zone RII-6 zone is described below. The definition of townhouse in the code states: An attached single-family dwelling unit located or capable of being located on its own lot, and is separated from adjoining dwelling units by a wall extending from the foundation through the roof which is structurally independent of the correspo~zding wall of the adjvining unit. Standards for RH-6 include: s The allowed housing type is townhouses as described. in the definition; Agenda rtem~I'age 7 • 15 foot front and rear yard setbacks; • 35 foot height and three stories; • The primary building entrance is facing the street; • Add an intensity district 17.5 which stipulates the mitumum lot area per dwelling unit at 1800 square feet and b00 square feet open space per dwelling unit. This would include a small front yard and a rear yard or patio/courtyard in addition to a garage or parking pad adjacent to the rear alley. The minimum lot size of 1800 square feet could be 18 x 100 feet which would allow for a minimum 15 foot front yard setbaelc, a 1000 to 1600 square foot 2 or 3-story house, a garage or parking pad adjacent to the alley or access street, and a rear yard or patio/courtyard. • Uses could include home occupations, arts or craft studios. 3 Proposed Additions to the Rezoning Criteria The TVAP Implementation Plan identified the need to adopt a concurrency ordinance that includes standards to ensure public infrastructure consistent with the plan is in place prior to rezoning and/or development. The attached ordinance (Attachment A Section 9-2-18) proposes additional rezoning criteria for applicants requesting a rezoning that would apply to the zone districts: RH-3, MU-4, RH-7, and RH-6. These criteria will provide the same assurances as a concurrency ordinance: • A Transportation Network Coru~ections Plan will be implemented and funded by the property owners including collectors, local streets, alleys, multi-use paths, and sidewalks needed to connect to the arterial street network; • Applicants for rezoning will join a parking district if available; • Provide water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities that meet all applicable codes and plans; • Ensure that the property owner has paid its fair share of these public improvements adequate to meet city standards and plan goals. 4 Proposed Trip Generation Ordinance to Implement the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Goals for the MU-4 Ri-I-7, and RH-6 Zone Districts A proposed new Trip Generation ordinance is added in Section 9-9-22 (See Attachment A) to address requirements to meet the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) goals of TVAP for developments not located in a parking district or parking management association. Staff is moving forward to implement a phased parking district approach for all of.TVAP based on the city's experience in the downtown and hill commercial area and work to date is described below. However, the Trip Reduction ordinance would apply projects if there is no parking district. In addition to supporting the pedestrian oriented character of the TVAP, the T'DM program is intended to minimize the impacts from redevelopment on the city's transportation system. One aspect of ensuring that impacts are minimized is establishing measurable standards with a monitoring and reporting requirement. This is the approach proposed in the Trip Generation Ordinance. As part of a comprehensive and ongoing TDM program, redevelopment in TVAP is expected to provide facilities and implement programs to reduce vehicle trips by at least 55 percent. While staff assumes that these activities will likely be carried out by a district, the proposed ordinance allows for individual properties to meet the TDM requirements if there is no district. i Agenda Items age 8 Consistent with the TDM program described in TVAP, the proposed Trip Generation ordinance has three purposes: • To mitigate the impacts of traffic from the development; • To ensure that parking amounts are the minimum necessary; and, • To make efficient use of parking duzing all times To accomplish these purposes, the ordinance requires the applicant to calculate the expected number of vehicle trips for the highest peak hour using standard methods and then prepare a TDM plan that will reduce these trips by at least 55 percent. The TDM plan must include a section on infrastructure and amenities which will be provided by the developer, and a section on the on-going TDM operations program. The TDM plan needs to include: • Parking management strategies • Active promotion through marketing and education • Financial incentives • Policies and programs • Monitoring and reporting the effectiveness of the plan In addition, the plan needs to demonstrate sustainable funding for the ongoing operation of the infrastructure and programs. Monitoring reports would he submitted to the city every two years and if the TDM plan is not meeting the trip generation requirements, it would need to be modified within 3U days of a request by the city manager. Par'ng Management Staff is moving forward to develop a parking district for the transit village area. The Downtown and University I Iill Management Division and Parking Services staff is taking the lead. Staff has met with several developers in the TVAP area to seek their input on the district concept and understand their perspective, economic benefits and challenges; the possible services and benefits of a district. A follow- up brainstorming session has been scheduled on .lanuary 20 with developers interested in developing in the TVAP. To date, staff has identified the following issues that will need to be addressed: • How to provide a shared parking reservoir for TVAP to ensure the viability of unbundling parking; • How to "sync" the parking district concept with the vision of TVAP as redevelopment occurs. The issue can be characterized by the following components: how the district would be phased in; how the current uses will "morph" from lower intensity to higher; or the transition from current uses and. parkvlg demand to those envisioned in the plan. • What services could be included in the district concept, at what cost and benefit; how it would be financed and managed.. Some initial investigation has been completed. Based on discussions with city planners, and transportation and special district consultants and a review of a xeport issued by the Federal Transit Administration (TCRP Report 128, Effects of TOD on Housing, Parking afzd Travel by the Transit Cooperative Research Program) published in 2008, staff has not yet identified an existing model. There are challenges in integrating parking and TOD. According to the report, "..a remaining challenge is to identify effective strategics to reduce parking in TOD's that local goverunents and developers can actually embrace in the give-and-take of the real world." And "The research seeks to bridge one of the widest knowledge gaps on the effects of TOD on travel Agenda Item:Page 9 demand: automobile trip generation rates for residential TOD's... structured parking in particular has a significant impact on development costs and is prohibitively expensive inmost markets." Staff will keep P1amling Board infanmed of the schedule and a timeline including implementing a Service Plan for the Parking District. 5. TVAP Guidelines The Guidelines were adopted as part of the Area Plan. They include General Guidelines and Guidelines that pertain to each of the character districts. They are scattered throughout the Plan. They have been consolidated together in Attachment D. The intent is that these Guidelines be used as additional site review criteria in reviewing any projects through the site review process. NEXT STEPS: Based on Planning Board's recommendation, staff will incorporate any revisions, and take the proposed ordinance for first reading to City Council on February 17, 2009. Second reading would occur in March. During the first two quarters of 2009, staff will continue to work on the parking district and any additional steps for utilities to serve the area. Following adoption/ direction by Planning Board and City Council on these elements, staff will move forward with rezoning, anticipated in the second half of 2009.

DISCUSSION OF DISPOSITIONS, PLANNING BOARD CALL-UPS/ CONTINUATIONS There was no discussion. Agenda 1ten~,g1'ager~'~; 5. DISCUSSION ITEM Discussion and llirection on Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) Phase I Zone Districts. Staff Presentation L. Grauer presented item to the board. General questions raised by the board: P. Shull thought the intent of code simplification was to reduce the number of zones, not increase the number. D. Gehr responded that the code drafting is more straightforward if we separate the zones that are even slightly different from each other; we have been reducing the number of zoning overlays. K. Becker asked for an update on the status of FasTracks. P. Shull stated the need to address the location, screening, and maintenance of long teen bike parking and need to have a better sense of the timing of all the other elements of TVAP implementation, particularly the parking district wlucla will affect development and the availability of parking for future development. A. Sopher was concerned that the new zone districts include setbacks in all upper stories; the Boulderado is a much beloved building and it goes stxaight up to 4 / 5 stories. Asking, if underground parking included in the FAR as is cuz-rently the case in BMS`? Staff responded that the intent is not to count underground parking in the FAR but to count above ~,nound parking in the FAR. Public Hearing John Pawlowski, 3155 Bluff Street Boulder 80301, said this program needs to be championed. He said the "cash in lieu of option needs to be maintained. Board Discussion P. Shull asked staff to address council's suggestion that Planning Board provide input on how to create a more interesting roof line/skyline in buildings above 55 feet. D. Gehr said there maybe more flexibility in the Charter amendment for appurtenances. He noted that the height does not apply to spires, belfries, copulas, domes not used for human occupancy and other necessary mechanical appurtenances carried above the roof level that do not take up more than twenty five percent of the roof area. A. Sopher asked about the definition of measuring height and if the definition in the code differs from the Charter. D. Gehr said the Charter defintion of height is the vertical distance from the lowest point within 25 feet of the tallest side of the structure to the upper zxzost point on the roof. For ItH-3: A. Sopher said the criteria for improving the quality of open space might be too vague. He said the effort to improve building articulation and form module was a little overdone. He did not necessarily agree that only two stories could be allowed before a 10 foot setback. He asked how the adoption of a 28t1i Street frontage road cozulections plan would impact the existing buildings in that area. Agenda Item ~BPage L. Grauer said staff will bring back the Connections Plan for the 28th Street Frontage Road to the board at a later date. W. Johnson expressed concern about creating more zones. She added that wading through the implications for users and administrators is challenging. A. Sopher on open space, said that it maybe overstated to require a percentage to be accessible from the public ROW. He also did not see the problem with a hidden garden. L. Grauer said the intent of this open space criteria is for visual relief, access, and urban design; A. Sopher said we need to clearly define if we are talking about public space or private space. S. Richstone said in terms of urban design, open space should be usable so there is some relief. A. Sopher was concerned about access. W. Johnson suggested that there needs to be access from a public adjoining sidewalk. P. Shull was concerned about permanent building, transparency, coiznectivity, and the "super block" issue. L. Grauer said the criterion could be changed to address the need for the open space to be accessible. K. Becker asked about the requirement of providing one tree per thousand square feet of building or open space. L Grauer clarified that it was one tree per thousand square feet of open space. A. Sopher discussed stepping back the third and fourth floors. P. Shull said that we need to explore the idea of creating an attractive four story building without large set backs. W. Johnson did not like that every building will have a wedding cake look. A. Sopher said it appears that everything will. have to come tluaugh site review or look institutionalized. He found this disturbing. A. Shoemaker suggested adding a requirement that articulates rooftops or stories in some fashion and leaving the "how" up to the applicant's discretion. He said what everyone is looking for here is non uniforn~ity. A. Shoemaker said goad buildings have multiple elements. P. Shull was concerned about buildzzigs that are articulated well above a certain height. K. Becker asked if an intent statement could be included with the provision that it could be modified in site review. A. Sopher was concerned that the code changes are to protect against bad buildings-if there is less building, it would be better. P. Shull was comfortable leaving the 3`a and 4`" story setbacks since more of a bad building is not so good either. P. Shull asked if the open space could be reduced. L. Grauer clarified. that current code says that the 60 percent open space requirement can be reduced to 30 percent through site review and meeting of the criteria being proposed. Discussion on RII-7 W. Johnson said the nuance between the RH-7 and RH-3 is so small and asked if there were other options besides creating a new zone. She recogzuzed that the major difference is parking. A. Shoemaker said. it might seem more complex to have another zone but with the legal language that would be required to make exceptions for the two zones, it would be more straightforward to draft two separate zones. A. Sopher was surprised at the desire to have 60 percent open space in TVAP. P. Shull agreed and pointed out that there is a huge park just a couple of blocks away. A. Sopher asked if we need to step back with the third story and above. L. Grauer said that the guidelines address building articulation. Agenda Item:~LPage A. Sopher asked if we want to see every project in site review or are we trying to create guidelines that keep projects from having to go through site review. S. Richstone said that because of the size of the parcels, projects would have to come in for site review. A. Sopher said that site review will undermine a certain amount of creative chaos. Discussion on MU-4 A. Sopher appreciated the staff solution of allowing projects to go to .75 FAK for non residential based on certaizl locational criteria, since certain locations, such as adjacent to the tracks, might better be for nonresidential uses. W. Johnson agreed with A Sopher. P. Shull said designating parking spaces are determined by the use (commercial or non residential). He added that non residential properties might not work in certain zones. He said developers will hold back until the parking district is in place because the developers can not develop at the higher FAR until there is a district. L. Grauer said phasing the parking maximum was an idea in the beginning. S. Richstone said parking maximums would. allow for parking as a principal use on a site that over time can be re-developed, which allows for phasing in. She said the city is talking to RTD about having ownership of a lot on the bus facility and working toward having the parking district in place sooner than later. A. Sopher said the board agreed to allow the parking district to be phased in over time but did not agree that would affect the FAR allowable on site if the parking district was not in place. He said the board also discussed if someone built parking they could sell that off and should not be penalized in teens of their allowable FAR. D. Gehr said the question then becomes do you want to regulate building bulk. A. Sopher said we are then penalizing the developers on both sides by allowing them 1.0 FAR. D. Gehr said the bottom line is that there might not be any parking when the parking district is formed but there would be a service plan and taxing authority in place before the area is rezoned. I'. Shull said if you build without a parking district you will have businesses that fail because there is too much competition for parking and there will not be enough spaces to support that density of businesses. P. Shull said if the non residential businesses are developed and oriented for transit uses, businesses will fail because there is not enough parking for the businesses that were created for pedestrians. Discussion on RH-6 W. Johnson asked why detached dwelling units and duplexes are not allowed in this zone. L. Grauer said detached units were not anticipated. S. Itichstone said in the early conversations that single family detached units were never anticipated u~z TVAP. . A. Sopher said his concerns early on were about allowing some more uses to create more flexibility. Also, he wondered if the Housing Division has a preference about whether they want cash-in-lieu for townhouses or would they want townhouses? L. Grauer said that City Council gave direction to explore the question of no cash-in-lieu in the Transit Village. However, staff's response to Council was that the Transit Village should not be treated differently froze the rest of the city and that review of the overall IZ ordinance should be considered as a whole. P. Shull said thirty five feet in three story town homes is very tall. Agenda Item Page~li A. Sopher appreciated the small minimum lot area because it gives the flexibility of having some larger and some smaller Lots. He said it might be a good idea to allow different types of units such as flats at the end of blocks in RPI-6. TVAP guidelines P. Shull was concerned that if the train does not come to the Transit Village that some elements of the Plan rnight have to be revised, such as the rail plaza and maybe every Junction Place. S. Richstone said if there is a sigtUficant change in plans or circumstance, these elements of the plan and guidelines would have to be revisited. She added that RTD is moving forward with the bus facility. A. Sopher asked if the schedule for rezoning phase one was still on track. L. Grauer said the zone districts should be in place by the end of January. She was hopeful that once the zone districts, the concurrency ordinance, and at least the service plan for the parking district are in place by the end of the second quarter 2009. After these have been completed, rezoning would begin. 6. MATTERS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD, PLANNING DIRECTOR, AND C1TY ATTORNEY Report on Compatible Development and Single Family Neighborhood Community J. Johnston presented her item to the board. P. Shull asked the board members who attended any of the community meetings to provide feedback. K. Becker stated that the public felt engaged at the first public meeting and said there was generally a positive feedback from the public. A. Sopher found the kick off meeting to be cursory at many levels. He said people in the room were being presented with information they did not understand. K. Becker said some people came with the idea of being able to express their opinion and this was not the forum for them to do this. S. Richstone stated that there were some concerns expressed by individuals; but for the most part people really participated in the workshops. She said in the smaller neighborhood workshops there was more time for the public to speak but the public comments were not driven by solutions, rather opinions about their neighborhoods. R. McHeyser updated the board on the work program and updated the board on the October 29 bus tour. A Shoemaker requested a Leave of absence Jan., Feb. and part of March. 7. DEBRIEF/AGENDA CHECK 8. ADJOURNMENT The Planning Board adjourned the meeting at 9:13 p.m. APPROVED BY Board Chair DATE ~ Agenda ItePage Jt-~ Attachment C WEEKLY INFORMATION PACKET MEMORANDUM To: Mayor McGrath and Members of Council From: Jane S. Brautigam, City Manager Stephazuc A. Grainger, Deputy City Manager Ruth Mel-Ieyser, Interim Planning Director Susan Richstone, Long Range Planning Manager Louise Grauer, Senior Planner Date: October 16, 2008 RE: Informational item: Update on Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) Implementation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this memo is to provide City Council information on the following Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) topics: 1. Background on the vision and reasons why the city adopted the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP). Area plans are prepared where change is expected in the near future. It helps ensure that when redevelopment occurs, property owners can design their projects to be consistent with the vision for the area. It also helps ensure that public improvements will be in place to support the new development and advance city goals. The vision for the Transit Village area is "a lively engagvlg place with a diversity of uses, including employment, retail, arts and entertaimnent, with housing that serves a diversity of ages, incomes, and ethnicities." (TVAP page 9). See Attachment A. Goals and Vision. 2. Update Council on the proposed regulatory elements of TVAP implementation. These include: a. Development of three proposed new zone districts for TVAP and proposed revisions to one existing zone, Residential High-3 (RH-3). One of the areas of change for the proposed TVAP zones is parking: the concept of parking maximums or parking caps instead of minimum parking standards; and parking unbundling or separating the cost of parking from the cost of the primary use; b. Development of a concurrency ordinance which will include a mechanism to ensure that the public improvements adopted in TVAP will be implemented and fimded in conjunction with redevelopment; the concurrency ordinance would need to be in place prior to any rezoning in the area; 3. Update Council on the timing for other elements of TVAP implementation including the funding plan for key public improvements, and the creation of a parking district. (See Attachment I~, TRAP Implementation Timeline.) 4. Response back to Council on its 5-point direction provided to staff at the June 3 meeting (See City Council Minutes for June 3, 2008 Attachment C~ which included: r' Agenda Itien~'age~l a. Support fora .5 maximum floor area ratio (FAR} for nonresidential uses in the future mixed use -2 land use area; b. Analysis of the possibility of requiring all permanently affordable units on site in TVAP, with no cash-in-lieu options; c. Exploration of how to incorporate LEED-ND criteria standards in TVAP; d. Include covered bicycle parking for TVAP; e. Allow roof peaks to be included as appurtances in buildings aver 55 feet. 5. Update Council on a proposed schedule and next steps for TVAP. New zone districts are tentatively scheduled for Planning Board and City Council consideration in December and January. Rezoning is anticipated to occur later next year after Council has provided direction on additional implementation measures including a concunency ordinance, the funding plan, and a future parking district. FISCAL IMPACTS: ¦ Fiscal: The Office of Environmental Affairs is funding a S20,OOU analysis of the LEED- ND criteria applied to TVAP; ¦ Staff time to develop the regulatory framework for TVAP is included in the departmental work plan. ¦ RTD's current concept plan review (2008) and future site plan review (2009) for their regional bus facility at Pearl Parkway and the railroad tracks will trigger a discussion about the timing and extent of the ei~t~ancement funding needs for Junction Place as described in TVAP and in the Implementation Plan. COMMUNITY SUSTAINAI3II,ITY ASSESSMENTS AND IMPACTS: Economic, environmental, and social sustainability goals were adopted for the TVAP, the plan incorporates many components to address the goals: ¦ Economic: TVAP will further the city's economic vitality goats by providing new opportunities for businesses, employment, and housing, and creating opportunities 'for public/private partnerships. The location of TVAP will provide support for the Twenty Ninth Street and Whole Foods redevelopments. Projections based on the land use plan could result in a maximum of approximately 1200 additional phase 1 jobs in the office and retail sectors in mixed use zones, and 1000 new housing units over the next 10 - 15 years phase 1 development period, many of which will be work force housing for employees working in Boulder. ¦ Environmental: The TVAP effort promotes long-term environmental sustainability by encouraging aresource-efficient land use pattern with comprehensive transportation demand management strategies that encourage transit use, reduce vehicle miles traveled, and reduce energy consumption. Other sustainability measures anal practices include an analysis of the LF..ED-ND pilot criteria to determine how well the TVAP and the Implementation Plan meet the criteria and where improvements could occur including further analysis of the area-wide stonnwater plan which has been incorporated into TVAP. Agenda Item~~Pag~ ¦ Social: TVAP will further the city's social sustainability goals by increasing affordable housing, expanding employment and transportation options for all members of the community, and in the area for TVAP residents, employees, and nearby neighbors. o A number of neighborlood meetings were held wlv.ch included residents of San Juan del Centro and Orchard Grove mobile home park. Residents were very interested in the proposed public spaces including the pocket park and the civic plaza by the railroad tracks. The future design of these public spaces will include adjacent neighbors. o The equivalent of 20% of all new housing units will be permanently affordable and the city anticipates up to 50% permanently affordable housing on the city- owned parcel. This could result in 250 - 350 new permanently affordable unts in phase 1. o The plan will result in housing proximate to employment; shopping, recreation, transit and. bike facilities, making the area attractive and affordable for people who desire acar-free lifestyle, or wish to reduce reliance on the automobile. o The pocket park, the civic space, and connections within and to the area will be designed to welcome the adjacent neighborhood residents and attract a diversity of users. BACKGROUND: The Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) was adopted by Planning Board and City Council in September 2007 fora 160-acre area located in the geographic center of the community, bounded by 30`'' Street,l'earl Street! Pearl Parkway, Foothills Parkway and Valmont. The area is close to Twenty Ninth Street and the future expanded Whole Poods/Barnes & Noble shopping centers. Pearl Street connects the area to the Downtown; the Goose Creek grcenway provides excellent off-street bicycle and pedestrian access to and through the area. Valmont Park, the Mapleton ball fields, and the East Boulder office and industrial areas, one of the city's largest employment centers, are easily accessible via the Greenway. Changes in the area which. triggered the need for an area plan include the following: a. The joint city and RTD purchase of the 11-acre property at the northeast corner of Pearl Parkway and 30`h Street (2004) for a mixed use neighborhood, with much of the housing affordable to Lower and middle incomes, with neighborhood-serving retail uses; b. The new regional bus facility expected to be built by RTD in 2009- 2010 at Pearl Parkway and the railroad tracks; o. The redevelopment of the Crossroads Mall into Twenty Ninth Street, a community destination for shopping and entertainment; d. The completion of Steelyards development, a mixed use residential, retail, office, and industrial pedestrian-oriented neighborhood with afire-grain street grid and a new urban streetscape along the east side of 30~~t Street. The original vision is still relevant, and the Plan states: "the Transit Village area will evolve into a lively, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented place where people will Live, work, shop and access regional transit. It will became a new neighborhood as well as an attractive destination for the larger city with regional transit and public spaces that will benefit the entire Boulder Community." (TVAP page 9) Agenda Item-_,~jPage AhIALYSIS: Code Changes The proposed regulatory changes include the following proposed revisions to the Residential. 1 sigh-3 (RH-3) zone district and three proposed new zone districts to implement Phase I of TVAP described below (see the map below): RH-3: existing Residential High Density -3 zone district with proposed changes to address Plamvng Board's de-brief of recently developed projects on September 4; (this zone is located along the 281" Street Frontage Road and at Arapahoe and 33rd for the Peloton}. As discussed at the follow-up September 25 Planning Board meeting, for the existing RH-3 zone along the Frontage Road, staff proposes the following changes to ijnprove the existing zone and ensure better projects in the fiiture without creating nonconforming uses: • Add criteria to the open space section to improve and enhance the open space; • Add the standard that the footprint of a fourth story can only be 70 percent of the footprint of the third story; • Any future rezoning to RH-3 will only be considered for areas where a 'T'ransportation Connections Plan has been adopted; review and bring forward the Transportation Connections Plan developed for the Frontage Road area for adoption. RH-6: proposed new zone to implement the TVAP High Density Residential -1 land use (HDR- 1). The vision for this area, on the north side of Bluff Street, is primarily for townhouses to continue the character of the existing Steelyards. I2H-7: proposed new zone to implement the TVAP High Density Residential -2 land use (HDR- 2), modeled after the 1ZII-3 zone district; the vision for this area, on the north side of Goose Creek, is higher density housing across Goose Creek from the proposed pocket park; it would include inviting open spaces, and could provide workforce housing. Uses could also include limited neighborhood-serving retail uses. MU-4: proposed new zone to implement the TVAP Mixed Use -2 land use, modeled after BMS, one of the city's form-based zoning districts which calls for apedestrian-oriented urban form; the vision for this area is a flexible mix of uses, with ground floor neighborhood -serving retail and housing above. Proposed criteria include: ¦ A .5 maximum nonresidential FAR limit which can be increased to .75 through site review; • The total FAR would be 2.0 if located in a parking district; the maximum FAR if not in a parking district would be 1.0; t'.

Response to Council Direction Council provided additional direction at its June 3 meeting. These five points include: 1. Support fora .5 maximum nonresidential FAR in the proposed MU-4 mixed use zone district for TVAP. Response: Staff origizlally proposed a .5 maximum for nonresidential uses and Plazuling Board reconvrzended a .75 maximum FAR. The proposal, described above under MU-4, includes a maximum .5 FAR which can be increased based on criteria through site review to .75. 2. Explore the possibility of requiring all permanently affordable units on site in TVAP. Response: The city currently has an Inclusionary Zozvng (IZ) ordinance that applies to all new residential construction. The general requirement is that 24% of all newly Agenda I*emj~Page constructed units be permanently affordable to low and moderate income households. The options for meeting this requirement include providing on-site permanently affordable units, cash-in-lieu of the required units, making existing, off site units permanently affordable or dedicating vacant land for permanently affordable units. The city is currently engaged in a review of the city-wide affordable housing program. Among other issues, council has requested staff look. at the on-site requirement and options far electing off-site options, current cash-in-lieu amount, and annual cash-in-lieu adjustment, all of which could impact the amount of community benefit realized in the Transit village Area. Staff expects the review to be completed in early 2009. To date IZ has been applied equally to all development throughout the city. This city-wide approach was adopted as the most defensible structure for the IZ ordinance should it be challenged in court. The review of the city's affordable housing programs is divided izlto two phases: Phase I. Social policy review -this phase will examine the 4,500 unit goal and program priorities. It is currently underway. It is expected to be completed by December 2008. Phase II. Regulatory policy - tlvs phase will include both a review of regulatory policy as well as ail exploration of new initiatives. Staff will explore and evaluate modifications to IZ, including requirements for cash- in-lieu, on-site and off--site options. The regulatory review is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2009. Exploration of new initiatives is expected to be completed by third quarter 2009. Given the city-wide nature of the regulatory issues, staff recommends that consideration of IZ options for the TVAP area be included as part of the city-wide review of affordable housing regulatory policies. Any outcomes of the IZ analysis would be determined prior to any rezoning in TVAP. 3. Include a feasibility study of LEED-ND criteria. Response: TVAP calls for an Envirozunental Sustainability Report. Staff has hired a consultant to analyze the components of TVAP and associated plans and zozung based on the LEED-ND criteria to determine where TVAP meets or exceeds LEED-ND and where it could be improved. The consultant selected to do this analysis, Doug Farr, is on the national LEED-ND committee which is developing the eritez-ia. The consultant will be in town on November 3 and a reception will be planned at the end of the work day. 4. Indoor bike and bike trailer parking in the land use code. Response: Covered and protected bike parking is included in the proposed code changes for the proposed TVAP zone districts. See above for a brief description. 5. Include options to allow roof peaks above the 55 height limit similar to the allowance for appurtances. Re~onse: For buildings under 55 feet high, roof peaks are allowed. For buildings over 55 feet high, the ability to include any rooftop appurtances for buildings over 55 feet is addressed in the charter: Agenda Ite ~ Page Charter Amendment on Height: All buildings azzd ether structures throughout the city shall be limited to a height not exceeding,fifty-five feet. This height limit shall not apply to spires, belfries, cupolas, or dvnzes not used for human occupancy, nor to silos, parapet walls, cornices without windows, antennas, chimneys, ventilators, skylights, or other necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level so long as they do not take up more than twenty-five percent of the roof area, nor to light poles at government-owned recreation facilities, nor to light and traffic signal poles in the right- of-way, nor to service and transmission line electrical utility poles. "~Ieight" means the vertical distance from the lowest point within twenty-five feet of the tallest side of the straccture to the uppermost point of the roof. NEXT STEPS: Ordinance changes for the new and revised zone districts are tentatively scheduled for Planning Board and City Council consideration in December and January. Additional elements of TVAP lmplementation include the funding plan and a parking district. (See timeline, .4ttachznent 13.) There are two additional implementation measures which will need additional Council direction prior to any rezoning in the area. The funding plan as proposed in the lmplementation Plan calls for the city to provide upfront funds for key public improvements at the same time that the corresponding development occurs: the enhancements to Junction Place, the bridge over Goose Creek Grcenway, the pocket park and the civic plaza by the future rail platform at the end of Bluff Street. Any city funds would be paid back through the construction use taxes and the transportation and parks development excise taxes (DET) collected in the transit village area. City funds would only be used when a corresponding development triggers a need. Staff will revisit the projected cash flow and return to Council for direction on the funding plan during the first half of 2009. In addition, Molly Winter has begun a preliminary analysis for a parking district plan for the area and is talking to property owners and. potential developers in the area to determine options for services to be included (costs) and revenue options in a future parking district. Staff will provide Council the results of this preliminary analysis in the first quarter of 2009 for Council direction. Direction on both of these implementation measures will be needed prior to any rezoning in the area. ATTACHMENTS: A. TVAP Goals and Vision B. TVAP Proposed Timeline C.
