Board held a question and answer session with city staff. Following question and answer, planning board members proposed a number of changes to the plan, straw-poll voting on each proposed change. Changes with a majority straw-poll vote were included in the

(p73-74) was added to the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan in recent weeks after discussion and collaboration with airport users and Boulder Municipal Airport staff. Airport users describe a concern for an increase in complaints about airport use after new residential
and mixed use development in East Boulder takes place. Project M16 directs city staff to study noise impacts as part of a Part 150 study and consider whether to expand the existing Airport Influence Zone to the south. The Airport Influence Zone is described
in B.R.C. section 9-3-10. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4">Planning Board described a concern that an expansion of the airport influence zones 1 and 2 would limit the development of new
structures in East Boulder and therefore negatively impact the plan’s housing goals and vision for mixed use neighborhoods. Zones 3 and 4 do permit residential structures. Planning Board also described an interest in studying this issue through an equity lens
during the Part 150 study and future Airport Master Plan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

of the Part 150 Study, it is premature to describe which zones should be considered for expansion. The purpose of the study is to achieve compatibility of uses considering noise impacts. Compatibility can be achieved through a variety of measures and may
include creation of a new zone. An alternative amendment, consistent with Planning Board intentions is
<b><i>“Changes to the Airport Influence Zone must consider the goals of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan to establish the planned residential and mixed land uses identified in the Plan.”</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

changes the scope of the D15 project (p85-56), indicating we would do two separate studies, a pilot study of the Park West neighborhood and then a second study expanding the scope to a citywide study of industrially-zoned land. This direction is do-able, but
may not be necessary. A “pilot” indicates that we would test the scope and outcomes of the study before rolling it out to the larger scale. Staff could provide the level of analysis requested under one project/scope of work.

to improve the balance of jobs and housing while maintaining a healthy economy. This will be accomplished by encouraging new housing and mixed-use neighborhoods in areas close to where people work, encouraging transit-oriented development in appropriate locations,

with ongoing programs and council priorities, including the current council workplan item to update the Inclusionary Housing program starting in the fall to encourage more homeownership opportunities for middle-income households. But, staff is unclear why
this would apply to only the subcommunity plan area as this is a citywide concern. Additionally, this amendment implies there are no existing city programs to encourage for-sale homes while staff at HHS have been working on programs and incentives since 2016
to encourage middle-income homeownership. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
