"We interact with one another as individuals responding to a complex haze of factors: professional responsibilities, personal likes and dislikes, ambition, jealousy, self-interest, and, in at least some instances, genuine altruism.  Living in the here and now, we are awash with sensations of the present, memories of the past, and expectations and fears for the future. Our actions are not determined by any one cause; they are the fulfillment of who we are at that particular moment.  After that moment passes, we continue to evolve, to change, and our memories of that moment inevitably change with us as we live with the consequences of our past actions, consequences we were unaware of at the time." The Last Stand, Nathaniel Philbrick

Dear Council Members,

Attached and below please find the maps (large wall maps will be at tonight’s meeting) and information requested by some council members:

·         Three maps show potential 300, 600 and 900 foot separation circles by zoning district to give an illustrative sense of the potential number and distribution of coops that might be allowed under different separation requirements.

·         A map showing residential unit size distribution

·         A map showing group homes, with the city’s definition and criteria for approval included below.

I hope these are helpful for your deliberations this evening.


-       Susan

9-16
Group home facility means a facility providing custodial care and treatment in a protective living environment for the handicapped or the aged person. This category of facility includes, without limitation, group homes for persons who are sixty years of age or older, group homes for the developmentally disabled or mentally ill, drug or alcohol abuse or rehabilitation centers, and facilities for persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

9-6-3(d)
Group Home Facilities: The following criteria apply to any group home facility:
(1)
For purposes of density limits in Section 9-8-1<https://www.municode.com/library/co/boulder/codes/municipal_code?nodeId=TIT9LAUSCO_CH8INST_9-8-1SCINST>, "Schedule of Intensity Standards," B.R.C. 1981, and occupancy limits, eight occupants, not including staff, in any group home facility constitute one dwelling unit, but the city manager may increase the occupancy of a group home facility to ten occupants, not including staff, if:
(A)
The floor area ratio for the facility complies with standards of the Colorado State Departments of Public Health and Environment and Social Services and Chapter 10-2, "Property Maintenance Code," B.R.C. 1981; and
(B)
Off-street parking is appropriate to the use and needs of the facility and the number of vehicles used by its occupants, regardless of whether it complies with other off-street parking requirements of this chapter.
(2)
In order to prevent the potential creation of an institutional setting by concentration of group homes in a neighborhood, no group home facility may locate within three hundred feet of another group home facility, but the city manager may permit two such facilities to be located closer than three hundred feet apart if they are separated by a physical barrier, including, without limitation, an arterial collector, a commercial district or a topographic feature that avoids the need for dispersal. The planning department will maintain a map showing the locations of all group home facilities in the City.
(3)
No person shall make a group home facility available to an individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others. A determination that a person poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others or a risk of substantial physical damage to property must be based on a history of overt acts or current conduct of that individual and must not be based on general assumptions or fears about a class of disabled persons.
(4)
Group home uses allowed in the BMS district shall not be located on the ground floor facing a street, with the exception of minimum necessary ground level access, otherwise by use review only.

Per 9-6-1, Group Homes are allowed through the administrative Conditional Use review process in all zones except: Mobile Homes (MH), Business Commercial Services (BCS), Industrial Zones (I), Public (P) and Agricultural (A).
