<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Staff, Council and Members of the Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few questions ahead of our discussion tomorrow on the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My apologies in advance if some of these questions have been asked by previous Council’s and therefore already addressed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Based on the feedback from Boards, Council, and the Community on the 60% plan in 2021, is there a synthesized chart, map or description that more easily summarizes what changes were
made to the plan in light of this input? It is hard for me to extract what exactly has changed in the plan since the 60% review.<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">For Example: How much housing has been added/subtracted to the plan as a result of those 60% comments?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">What changes have been made to TOD’s?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">What proposed zoning changes were made if any?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">Etc…<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Open Space<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">On the Land Use map, could you help me understand what Open Space “Dev Rights” means? In Attachment A (Page 20)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">I would also like to know more about the Open Space “Other” in the area. We have learned how confusing this land use designation is from a lot of the misconceptions with CU South.<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="square">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo3">Who owns these OSO properties (City, private, etc…)?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo3">Are there any specific rules governing the intended use of these OSO lands?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Transportation & Mobility
<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">Given the diversity of uses in the area, have there been discussions about the streets that support industrial uses via large trucks/semi’s vs. multi modal use?<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="square">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo3">I am concerned about these interactions (semi-trucks and bikes), especially along 55<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo3">Can we decouple these uses?
<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo3">Steering industrial use (pun intended) to certain streets and multi modal use to other streets?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">As the subcommunity plan phases in and redevelopment ensues, what is the plan for road diets and increasing bike and pedestrian infrastructure?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3">With the planning for mobility hubs, I might recommend removing all mention of RTD busing as we can’t count on them to meet our service demands. Or at the minimum place a clear “*”
near any mention of RTD service with the appropriate disclaimer.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">How might this plan change upon Council taking up “Use Tables” (in the coming months) and possibly making changes to the allowable uses for a given type of zoning? Another way to ask
this, should council make substantive changes to the “Use tables”, would that dictate modifications to the Subcommunity Plan to best actualize the potential new uses?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
