A
Next
up
is
special
business.
Before
we
start,
I
just
wanted
to
flag
in
case
there's
some
confusion
earlier
today,
just
late
this
afternoon.
Actually
I
signed
a
new
public
health
order,
but
because
of
the
timing
of
it,
I
wasn't
able
to
bring
it
to
council
to
get
it
on
the
agenda
in
time
for
this
evening.
So
we'll
see
that
next
week,
but
I
want
to
just
explain
what
we
are
aiming
to
do
with
it,
because
it
did
go
into
effect
immediately.
A
We
started
working
on
this
friday
and
then
asked
central
district
health
yesterday
morning
if
they
would
partner
with
our
city
to
make
it
possible
to
have
events
and
outdoor
activities
and
other
things
in
a
safe
way,
while
still
maintaining
an
important
public
health
order.
That
requires
distancing
masking
and
other
protocols,
and
I
really
want
to
say
thank
you
to
central
district
health
for
their
willingness
to
partner
yesterday
morning,
when
their
director
said
yes,
that
he
thought
this
was
a
path
we
should
head
down
together
and
since
they
have
an
advisory,
but
not
an
order.
A
A
But
it
allows
that
same
opportunity
for
residents
throughout
the
city
to
do
the
same
in
partnership
with
the
health
district,
and
so
as
we
test
this
new
new
way
of
protecting
public
health,
but
allowing
more
activities
for
our
residents
to
to
occur
and
we'll
be
learning
as
we
go,
and
so
one
look
forward
to
working
with
those
that
have
been
partnering
with
us
all
along
to
protect
health,
but
want
to
have
some
events.
A
Wonderful
is
mr
larson
here
no,
madam
mayor,
no,
no
all
right!
Well
if
he
happens
to
be
watching
or
reading
the
minutes
of
our
meetings
in
the
future.
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you,
mr
larson,
for
your
service
on
this
important
board.
Appreciate
it.
D
A
Objection
all
right-
and
I
see
abigail
morgan-
is
here
hello.
There
thanks
for
joining
us,
hi.
G
E
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
abigail,
just
wanted
to
say
welcome
to
the
team.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
getting
to
serve
with
you
as
the
council
liaison
to
public
works
this
year,
so
I'm
excited
to
be
there
new
with
you
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do
in
the
nonprofit
sector
as
well.
So
welcome
aboard.
I
Madam
mayor,
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
getting
to
know
abigail
a
little
bit
as
she
works
on
she's
part
of
the
staff
that
administers
my
mba
program
at
boise
state,
and
I
know
that
she
probably
listens
in
enough
that
she's
going
to
bring
some
really
great
business
expertise
also
to
the
public
works
commission.
So
welcome
abigail
really
happy
to
have
you.
J
It
mayor
yes,
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Welcome
to
abigail,
I
haven't
been
in
the
liaison
public
works
for
a
while,
but
I
was
always
impressed,
especially
by
the
younger
members
of
the
public
works.
Commission
has
been
fun
to
watch
where
they've
landed
in
our
community
and
almost
all
of
them
have
been
really
big
contributors.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
and
you.
You
should
look
forward
to
a
long
life
of
public
service,
because
that
seems
to
be
what
it
leads
to.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
I'll,
just
close
by
saying,
I
really
appreciate
your
interest
in
serving
and
as
council
member
hallie
burton
said,
the
impact
you've
had
both
as
a
working
college
student
and
now
as
a
graduate
in
our
nonprofit
community,
and
I,
when
public
works
proposed
that
you
become
a
member
of
the
commission.
A
I
just
really
appreciated
your
interest
in
service,
so
young
and
I
was
lucky
enough
to
join
the
parks
board
in
my
early
20s
and
it
made
a
big
difference
being
involved
in
my
community
from
such
from
that
point
onward,
and
really
appreciate
that
you're
willing
to
do
so
right
now.
At
this
point
in
your
early
career.
G
A
Public
works
is
so
cool,
so
you
should
have
fun.
Thank
you.
Take
care
good
to
see
you
and
next
up.
We
have
a
reason
for
decision
and
conditions
of
appeal
approval
for
cup,
20-28
and
cody
has
joined
us
here
in
person
to
present
and
ask
for
affirmation
of
direction.
K
A
I
have
to
say:
have
you
not
been
in
person
some
of
both
okay
so
well,
because
when
you
asked
me
if
about
standing
there
with
your
mask
on
it,
suddenly
made
me
wonder,
I'm
like
I
can
never
remember
anymore.
If
I'm
looking
at
somebody
on
a
screen
or
like
looking
at
somebody
actually
in
the
room,
so
welcome
back.
It's.
K
You,
as
as
council,
will
recall
you've
conducted
two
publi
public
hearings
on
this
item,
the
last
of
which
occurred
on
february,
2nd
as
a
reminder
that
the
approval
was
for
a
special
exception
with
a
very
unique
combination
of
uses.
It
includes
elements
of
a
tavern
event
center
with
live
music
along
with
a
bed
and
breakfast
this
all
occurs
in
an
existing
building.
K
K
You
directed
us
to
return
with
findings
and
conditions
reflecting
that
decision
you
specifically
directed
us
to
to
base
the
conditions
off
the
out
of
the
the
suggestion
or
those
proposed
by
the
applicant.
We
did
use
that
as
a
starting
point,
as
it
relates
to
the
conditions,
the
motion,
the
doc.
So
the
document
before
you
includes
those
conditions,
as
well
as
a
number
of
those
related
to
compliance
and
enforcement.
K
I
would
note
this
evening,
though
we
are
recommending
a
slight
adjustment
or
asking
for
clarification
on
just
a
couple
conditions.
The
first
condition,
number
five
probably
could
have
been
worded
a
little
bit
better.
The
intent
was
that
the
backyard
area
was
limited
at
all
times
to
35
people.
The
intent
wasn't
to
also
count
guests
that
were
then
staying
inside
at
the
bed
and
bed
and
breakfast
in
terms
of
enforcement.
K
Those
staying
inside
of
the
bed
and
breakfast
from
our
perspective,
it
would
be
easiest
if
they
didn't
count
towards
that
35
and
certainly
easy
easiest
for
the
compliance
officers.
If
there
is
a
complaint
to
show
up
and
count
35
individuals
in
that
in
that
backyard.
K
Madam
mayor,
that's
correct:
okay,
thanks
so
again,
really
that
it's
really
for
ease
of
enforcement.
There
will
be
two
occupancy
permits
for
this
location
or
two
required
for
this
location,
one
for
the
bed
and
breakfast
and
then
one
for
that
for
that
outdoor
space.
K
The
second,
the
second
condition
the
applicant
has
actually
asked
for
some
clarification
as
it
relates
to
live
music.
Their
understanding
was
that
the
decision
would
allow
that
live
music
for
those
limited
number.
I
believe
it
was
20
special
events,
the
language
we
originally
provided.
You
didn't
include
that
if
your
intent
or
desire
is
to
allow
the
live
music
again
for
just
those
special
events,
we
suggest
that
the
minor
changes
on
the
screen
be
included
in
the
motion
and
then
finally,
we
had
provided
you
with
a
with
a
memo
suggesting
an
amendment
to
condition
19.
K
our
intent.
There
was
to
make
sure
that
this
condition
applies
to
the
current
owner
future
owners
and
anyone
that
operates
a
separate
business
on
the
premises.
So
the
proposed
adjustment
was
transmitted
to
you
last
week
and
is
shown
on
the
screen
with
that
adjustment
and
the
clarification
on
those
other
two
conditions.
We
are
asking
that
you
adopt
a
reason,
statement
and
conditions
this
evening.
Thank
you.
I
Cody
on,
can
you
go
back
a
slide
to
the
condition
yeah
on
excluding
live
music?
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can?
I,
I
think
that
makes
sense
as
long
as
the
music
is
not
amplified,
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
make
sure
that
that's
not
that
that's
just
acoustic
live
music.
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
weddings,
we
cert,
we
certainly
could
we
could
indicate
acoustic,
only
acoustic,
music
or
non-amplified
music,
and
then
I
would
also
note
that
we
that
language
does
indicate
that
it
all
all
noise
has
to
comply
with
the
boise
city
noise
ordinance
to
address
that.
But
we
could
certainly
add
language
limiting
it
to
just
acoustical
music.
I
Excellent
and
madame
may
I
have
one
more
question:
cody
did
you
happen
to
prepare
a
slide
around
the
types
of
upgrades
that
the
property
owner
will
have
to
make
before
they're
able
to
take
occupancy
for
their
intended
uses?.
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
woodings,
not
not
a
specific
specific
slide
for
that,
they
will
have
to
obtain
occupancy
occupancy
permits
for
for
both
and
based
on
the
based
on
the
the
conditions,
specifically
that
that
cap,
you
probably
noticed
for
the
special
events.
It
was
limited
to
49,
which
is
a
very
odd
number,
but
it
was
by
design
once
you
hit
50.
Some
different
requirements
kick
into
place
from
a
building
code
perspective,
and
so
that's
that's
the
condition
for
49
and
they
will
have
to
work
with
the
building
department
to
obtain
that
occupancy
permit.
I
Madam
mayor,
one
more
question
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
someone
else.
Cody.
Can
you
go
through
some
of
the?
I
know
that
it's
outlined
in
the
in
the
conditions,
but
just
for
kind
of
the
benefit
of
the
public
if
they
haven't
read
through
the
entire
document,
some
of
the
improvements
that
will
have
to
be
made
before
they're
given
occupancy.
K
Madam
mayor
councilmember,
woodings
that
the
list
of
conditions
is
is
quite
extensive.
There
will
be
improvements
if
they
haven't
been
made.
That
will
be
need
need
to
be
made
to
some
of
the
restrooms,
perhaps
some
of
the
oh,
the
gates
and
and
access
spaces
accessible
routes
for
ada
compliance.
K
Things
like
that
will
all
be
all
be
required,
as
well
as
from
an
administrative
standpoint
signing
and
having
final
approval
of
that
parking
agreement.
That
was
required.
A
K
Madam
mayor,
the
conditions
of
approval
or
the
memo
was
dated
march
march
2nd
and
the
conditions
start
on
the.
I
guess,
the
second
page
of
that
document
and
there's
a
series
of.
J
Madam
mayor,
yes
go
ahead.
If,
if
I
could
on
the
live
music,
it
seems
like
requiring
that
only
to
be
acoustic
rather
than
limiting
it
to
the
residential
outdoor
speakers.
That's
limited,
otherwise,
is
probably
confusing
from
a
code
compliance
standpoint
and
since
the
they
have
to
meet
noise
compliance-
and
we
had
already
conditioned
that
the
only
kinds
of
speakers
they
can
have
are
residential
outdoor
speakers.
J
I
wonder
if
we
could
just
leave
it
out,
live
music
recognizing
that
they
still
can't
exceed
the
noise
standards
just
for
for
I,
just
we've
already
got
a
lot
of
conditions
on
this
and
I
think
code.
Compliance
is
going
to
be
difficult
as
it
is.
That
seems
like
maybe
an
added
layer
that
might
not
be
necessary.
A
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
clay
that
that's
certainly
an
approach,
it
would
be
the
the
requirement
or
a
limitation
to
only
acoustical
music
would
be
above
and
beyond
the
restrictions
that
are
already
in
place
as
written.
So
that's
certainly
a
council's
discretion
either
way.
I
G
I
I'll
comment
on
that,
I
think
that
makes
sense,
and
I
think
my
worry
is
is
that
I
mean
residential
speakers
aren't
any
less
capable,
sometimes
than
commercial
speakers.
So
I
think
that
just
sticking
really
close
to
the
noise
ordinance
is
going
to
be
the
the
right
way
to
comply
here.
J
Madam
mayor,
if
I
could,
I
think
my
my
purpose
in
this
was
to
not
allow
a
live
musician
to
bring
their
own
amplifier
and
speaker,
but
to
require
them
if
they
do
want
to
be
amplified
to
hook
into
the
system.
That
already
exists
there,
which
I
think
would
make
it
easier
to
comply
with
the
noise.
D
A
It's
standing,
I
if
I
understand
correctly
the
red
lines
that
we're
looking
at
right
now
are
standing
and
that's
it.
Okay.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
go
ahead,
cody
on
condition
number
19,
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
just
kind
of
walk
me
through
that
quickly,
so
they
decide
to
sell.
Somebody
else
decides
to
purchase
it.
What
that
process
would
look
like
for
us
if
we
had
to
go
through
something
similar
again.
K
Madam
mayor
count:
councilmember
halliburton,
the
the
intent
really
with
this
condition
was
if,
if
the
owner
of
the
bed
and
breakfast
was
maybe
different
than
someone
that
was
operating,
the
the
tavern
use
that
that
the
condition
was
clear
that
it
applied
to
everyone
and
if
one
or
the
other,
the
ownership
or
operation
changed
for
either
that
that
condition
would
apply.
They'd
need
to
inform
us
in
writing
and
then
we
would
have
the
opportunity
to
walk
through
those
conditions
report
back
to
council
and
if
we've
had
compliance
compliance
issues.
K
E
So,
madam
mayor
follow-up,
yes,
so
again,
cody,
I
guess
just
for
my
own
clarification,
somebody,
the
the
business
sells
somebody
else
purchases
it.
They
basically
get
the
same
conditions
that
the
existing
one
had
unless
council
decides
otherwise,
so
we're
not
going
and
we're
not
re-hearing
anything,
we
basically
would
be
making
a
decision.
E
That
would
say
like
this
is
what
all
the
things
that
come
with
conditions
that
come
with
the
property
and
unless
something
strange
has
happened
in
the
past,
or
we
have
reason
to
believe
that
this
person
would
be
a
bad
player.
They
would
just
get
the
exact
same
conditions.
We
wouldn't
be
approving
a
new
set
of
conditions
for
a
new
tenant.
K
M
Anybody
may
be
digging
up
the
transcript
of
this
meeting
later.
I
don't
think
I
hope
I
don't
think
we
intend
to
create
a
presumption
that
anybody
who
buys
this
business
will
automatically
be
entitled
to
continue
running
it.
The
way
that
current
owners
do
the
way.
I
understand
this
condition.
19
is
in
the
event
that
they
want
to
transfer
ownership
of
the
business
they'll
or
the
property.
M
They'll
need
to
come
to
us
and
have
a
conversation
with
the
city
council
and
get
our
permission,
and
so
I
think
at
that
time,
as
I
interpret
this,
we
would
be
free
to
say
no,
you
can't
you
know
we
have
a
relationship
with
the
current
owners.
It's
based
on
them.
You
can't
sell
the
business
or
you
know
whatever.
I
don't
I'm
just
flagging
this,
because
I
don't
want
to
tie
our
hands
by
having
somebody
later
say.
M
Well,
you
you
created
a
presumption
in
the
last
meeting
that
we
would
be
entitled
to
inherit
this
unless
there
was
a
problem.
I
think
I
I
think
the
intent
of
this
condition
19
is
in
the
event
that
the
property
or
the
business
is
transferred
in
any
way.
We
can
all
have
a
reevaluation
moment
there,
and
the
city
has
the
right
to
to
yank
that
permit
upon
that
transfer,
regardless
of
the
conduct
of
the
prior
owners.
That's
that's
how
I
understood
it.
D
Madam
mayor,
would
it
following
the
logic
of
council
member
of
agent,
would
it
be
appropriate
just
to
have
it
ended
the
city
reserves
the
right
to
terminate
the
permit
upon
a
change
in
ownership.
E
Yeah,
just
just
speaking
to
what
council,
member
or
council
pro
tem
sanchez
added.
That
would
certainly
be
something
that
I
would
be
agreeable
with.
If
that's
what
we
wanted
to
move
forward
with.
A
Well
in
in
so
council
member
in
your
motion
just
reflect
that
language
change
and
everybody
can
weigh
in
that
way.
Officially,
okay
go
ahead
and.
D
Move,
madam
mayor,
I
move
approval
of
the
reason
for
decision
and
conditions
of
approval
cup
20-00028
with
a
change
in
language
of
it
condition.
19.
A
J
Clarify
the
motion,
if
I
could
it's
with
the
changes
presented
to
conditions,
5,
16
and
19,
with
the
additional
clarification
on
the
language
of
19.,
is
that
correct.
A
A
I
Ahead:
it's
okay!
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
comment.
Looking
back
to
the
conditional
use
permit
hearing,
this
was
a
really
tough
one
for
me,
so
I
wanted
to
just
reflect
that
we
worked
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
these
conditions
of
approval
really
reflected
what
we
wanted
to
see
happen
at
this
space
really
reflect
the
concerns
of
the
immediate
neighborhood
to
ensure
that
this
was
compliant
with
with
the
requirement
that
the
proposed
use
is
not
more
impactful
to
the
neighborhood,
then
what
what
else?
I
I
The
business
owners
will
have
to
pull
all
necessary
permits
and
have
all
necessary
inspections
by
the
city
prior
to
gaining
occupancy
for
all
of
the
permitted
uses,
and
so
this
will
really
allow
the
occupant
to
bring
this
building
into
compliance
and
to
do
what
they
promised
and
if
they
don't,
then
I
feel
like
it's
pretty
clear
that
it's
game
over.
So
I
encourage
them
to
do
so
and
just
wanted
to
get
that
in
the
record.
Thank
you.
A
Thanks
anyone
else
all
right
now
that
we
have
two
people
in
here.
It
is
actually
more
complicated
when
then,
when
there's
just
one,
because
I'm
never
quite
sure
where
I'm
hearing
a
voice
from
anymore,
because
now
I
have
people
on
both
sides
of
me
and
a
screen
of
four
people.
But
it's
awesome
to
have
two
council
members
here
clerk.
Will
you
please
call
the
roll.
N
A
Great
next
up,
we
have
the
consent
agenda.
All
items
with
an
asterisk
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
council
and
will
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
There
will
be
no
separate
discussion
on
these
items
unless
a
council,
member
or
citizen
so
request,
in
which
case
the
item
will
be
removed
from
the
consent
to
gender
and
cons.
N
A
O
As
a
reminder,
my
name
is
bree
brush.
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office
on
transportation
and
spend
some
time
working
with
our
transportation
partner
agencies.
In
your
earlier
work
session,
you
got
some
more
details
on
this
process,
but
this
public
hearing
is
one
component
of
our
annual
funding
agreement
with
valley
regional
transit.
Where
we
get
an
update.
Oh
it
looks
like
stephen
hunt
is
still
on
the
line
and
he
can
answer
questions
great.
Thank
you
stephen.
O
So
we
had
an
update
from
vrt
earlier
in
the
afternoon,
you
had
an
update
from
karen
and
I
on
some
fy
22
initiatives
and
just
as
a
reminder,
those
were
focusing
on
state
street
our
best
in
class
investments
and
how
we
can
really
maximize
our
transit
investments
as
a
whole.
If,
afterwards,
you
have
any
questions
karen
and
I
will
stand-
and
it
looks
like
steven
is
here
as
well.
So
thank
you.
J
Madam
mayor,
yes,
thank
you
before
we
start,
if
I
could
just
say
a
few
words.
First
of
all,
thank
you
to
both
prt
staff
and
city
staff
for
working
hard
to
bring
forward
these
priorities
for
this
year.
Also,
vrt
did
a
great
job
of
presenting
the
outcome
of
our
priorities
from
last
year,
and
we,
despite
covet,
really
made
progress
on
all
of
those
so
kudos
to
them
of
the
three
priorities
this
year.
J
The
state
street,
as
many
people
know,
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
for
those
of
you
who
listened
in
earlier.
You
know
that
we
have
money
because
of
the
cares
funding
and
the
fact
that
vrt
has
used
much
of
it
for
operations.
J
J
J
They'll
exist
in
those
my
understanding
of
how
the
corridor
will
work
if,
as
a
real
bus,
rapid
transit
corridor
is
that
if
we
can
finish
out
those
sixth
and
seventh
lanes
with
the
accompanying
bike,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
connections,
as
well
as
whatever
stops,
might
be
scheduled
for
those
interstitial
state
segments
that
both
operations
of
transit
will
work,
better
bicycle
and
pedestrian
access
will
work
better
and
frankly,
driver
operations
will
work
better,
and
so
it's
as
you're
speaking,
if,
if
you
have
an
opinion
on
that
or
any
experience
with
those
kinds
of
amenities,
I
would
love
to
hear
about
that.
J
And
thank
you
for
everyone
who
is
planning
to
participate
tonight.
I
can
tell
you
I've
gotten
three
written
responses.
One
was
encouraging
us
to
go
fully
electric
as
soon
as
we
could.
One
was
encouraging
a
real
upgrade
in
bicycle
and
pedestrian
connections
and
one
was
to
continue
upgrading
our
best
in
class
services.
J
P
All
right,
hello,
madam
mayor
and
council
members,
pleasure
to
be
with
you
this
evening
and
thank
you
to
the
city
staff
and
vrt
staff
for
being
here
as
well.
This
may
not
surprise
you
for
those
of
you
who
know
me.
I
am
here
to
encourage
you
to
maximize
the
city's
contributions
to
vrt
and
particularly
to
continue
pushing
forward
with
the
plans
on
state
street.
You
know
we're
always
going
to
be
making
up
for
a
lacking
state
system.
P
And
I
am
a
big
fan
of
the
state
street
project.
I
I
strongly
believe
that
that
has
the
potential
to
be
a
catalyst
to
help
show
people
what
transit
can
do
and
how
it
can
fit
into
their
lives,
particularly
as
the
state
street
corridor
continues
to
develop,
as
transit-oriented
development
continues
to
happen
in
concert
with
these
kinds
of
service
improvements,
and
particularly
how
these
kinds
of
service
improvements,
as
councilwoman
clegg
mentioned,
can
enhance
level
of
service
for
all
modes.
P
I
I
definitely
think
that's
a
really
important
thing
to
be
focusing
on,
particularly
in
terms
of
building
support
within
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
I
think
that
improving
bike
and
pedestrian
connectivity
can
really
help
show
people
how
this
can
benefit
everybody
and
and
drivers
as
well.
Certainly-
and
you
know,
this
is
a
tough
time-
certainly
economically,
but
I
think,
as
our
economy
recovers
and
the
population
continues
to
grow,
this
investment
will
continue
to
deliver
the
bang
for
the
buck.
P
That
we
know
does
and
help
the
members
of
our
community
who've
been
struggling
most
economically
and
who,
who
most
need
that
assistance
to
kind
of
get
back
on
their
feet,
and
I
think
we
run
the
risk
of
if
there's
a
lack
of
investment
having
a
death
spiral.
I
think
this
is
a
concern
for
all
transit
agencies
right
now,
but
having
a
death
spiral
where
the
system
receives
less
investment
and
therefore
is
less
useful
and
therefore
is
used
less
and
therefore
receives
less
investment.
P
So
I
again,
I
hope
that
we
can
avoid
that
and,
as
our
climate
continues
to
change,
you
know
this
is
also
the
transportation.
Emissions
are
also
the
largest
source,
I
believe,
of
carbon
emissions
and,
as
the
city
is
considering
various
green
energy
plans,
you
know,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
be
thinking
about
how
we
can
cut
carbon
emissions.
But
if
there's
not
another
option
for
people
besides
driving
alone,
then
there's
really
very
little
way
to
kind
of
chip
away
at
that
block.
So
this
is.
P
This
will
be
a
very
important
thing
that
we
can
do
in
that
to
make
on
that
effort,
and
with
that
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any.
A
Of
ethan
yeah,
just
second
council
president.
A
J
Thank
you
thank
you,
ethan
and
anyone
else
who's
planning
to
testify.
Another
thing
that
would
be
really
helpful
to
hear
from
you
as
we
work
with
valley,
regional
transit,
to
understand
what
kind
of
information
will
help
us
and
help
the
public
feel
confident
in
the
in
the
investments
we're
making
in
terms
of
financial
transparency.
If
you
have
any
ideas
on
that
I'd
love
to
hear
them.
P
Confidence
in
terms
of
investment,
financial
transparency
in
the
investment
I
mean
again,
I
I
think
my
mind
just
first
goes
to
what
you
had
mentioned
about
improving
pedestrian
and
bike
connectivity
and
and
that
kind
of
shedding
light
for
people
on
the
on
the
way
that
this
can
impact
everyone's
lives.
I
think
it
it
can
be
challenging
sometimes
to
improve
service
before
it
reaches
that
tipping
point
where
you
start
to
see
a
bigger
uptick
in
ridership,
and
I
hope
that
the
the
plans
for
state
street
will
deliver
that.
P
But
again
it
might
take
some
time
before
people
realize
the
way
that
this
can
fit
into
their
lives
and
that
they
can
in
fact
plan
their
lives
around
being
able
to
use
transit
service
in
terms
of
where
they
live
and
how
they
choose
to
get
around
the
community.
So,
hopefully,
those
other
kinds
of
connections
will
help
bridge
that
gap.
A
A
And
for
future
folks
that
are
testifying,
the
clerk
is
actually
going
to
get
your
address
from
you
through
zoom
with
your
registration,
so
that
in
in
live
time
streaming,
you
don't
have
to
give
your
your
address
over
the
live
stream,
and
so
with
that
clark
who's
is.
It
is
mary
beth
nutting,
on
the
line,
great
mary
beth
welcome.
Q
Hello,
madam
mayor
and
boise
city
council
members,
I
primarily
get
around
by
bus
and
bicycle
and
last
year
before
the
shutdown
I
had
a
meeting
in
meridian
in
the
morning
that
I
needed
to
go
to,
and
so
I
aspired
to
take
the
bus
there,
not
knowing
how
difficult
it
would
be.
Q
But
I
worked
on
my
route
that
I
needed
to
go
from
northwest
boise
from
my
home
to
the
main
street
station
downtown,
where
I
would
catch
the
overland
bus,
which
would
take
me
south
of
the
city,
because
there
is
not
a
bus
that
goes
through
downtown
meridian.
I
would
then
have
to
get
off
the
bus,
get
my
bike
off
the
front
and
then
bike
to
town.
So
what
would
be
a
30-minute?
Q
Car
ride
would
be
a
two-hour
commute
by
bus,
and
then
I
would
be
stuck
in
meridian
because
there
is
no
service
during
the
day
because
they
discontinue
it
until
rush
hour
again
and
they
started
again
at
four
o'clock.
So
what
would
be
a
very
brief
meeting
in
meridian
would
take
me
all
day,
and
I
know
that
the
city
of
of
boise
has
limited
impact
on
the
services
that
are
in
meridian.
But
what
would
have
been
ideal
is
to
take
the
fairview
bus.
Q
But
I
don't
know
if
many
of
you
are
aware
that
the
fairview
buzz
actually
does
not
go
past
milwaukee
at
milwaukee.
It
turns
towards
the
mall
and
so
we're
missing
all
of
those
businesses
and
neighborhoods
and
apartments
that
are
being
built
in
west
boise.
Also,
there
is
the
busiest
intersection
in
the
state
of
idaho,
fairview
and
eagle
with
all
of
those
services
in
the
area
that
were
missing
again.
Q
So
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
to
continue
to
try
to
collaborate
with
the
city
of
meridian
in
providing
that
connectivity
between
the
two
cities
and,
of
course,
napa
and
caldwell.
Q
I
appreciate
everything:
that's
been
done
with
trying
to
extend
services
to
eagle
and
I
think
that's
that's
it,
but
I
love
everything
that's
being
done
on
state
street.
I
really
appreciate
everything
you've
done
and
also
thank
you
to
the
city
for
everything
that
they've
given
to
valley
regional
transit.
I
mean
because
what
you
do
allows
me
to
take
the
bus
so
that
I
can
get
to
work
my
both
of
my
children.
Q
D
Mayor,
yes,
go
ahead.
I
just
want
to
thank
both
the
folks
who
who
presented
tonight
and
who
shared
their
support
of
the
work
that
the
city
of
boise
does
in
supporting
vrt,
and
I
I
especially
appreciate
mary
beth
I've
known
mary
beth
for
many
many
years
we
met
when
I
worked
for
the
girl
scouts
and
she
continues
to
be
a
volunteer
and
just
somebody
in
our
community
who,
who,
as
they
say,
walks
the
walk
or,
in
this
case
bikes
the
bike.
And
so
I
just
really
appreciate
your
making
this
a
priority.
D
She
uses
her
social
media
to
really
bring
a
lived
experience
to
folks
so
that
they
can
see.
You
know
I'm
one
of
those
folks.
I
don't
ride
a
bicycle
and
I
wish
I
could
and
and
one
day
I
will
but
she's
a
great
ambassador
for
using
the
the
different
alternative
transportation
forms
that
we
have
in
the
city.
So
thank
you,
mary
beth.
G
R
Q
A
A
Great
alexis
pickering
and
then
rory
hester
hi.
There
alexis
good.
S
To
see
you
hi
everyone
for
the
record,
I'm
alexis
pickering,
as
many
of
you
probably
know
I
happen
to
be
one
of
your
ada
county
highway
district
commissioners.
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
I'm
testifying
today
personally
as
one
of
your
residents
and
not
representing
achd
in
the
commission
in
any
way,
and
these
thoughts
are
going
just.
A
S
So,
as
you've
heard,
you
know,
compass
recently
presented
the
results
of
a
study
on
a
variety
of
transportation
options,
mass
transit
options
across
the
valley
and
and
in
boise,
and
so
there
were
several
concepts
that
were
highlighted
for
the
city
and
compass.
You
know
asserted
that
our
communities
must
begin
planning
now
in
order
to
realize
a
truly
comprehensive
mass
transit
network
in
the
valley
in
20
years.
You
know
we're
growing
so
rapidly.
S
But
as
our
communities
continue
to
rise
and
housing
costs,
our
transportation
network
will
continue
to
become
more
constrained
with
folks
moving
out
of
boise,
unfortunately,
and
having
to
commute
into
boise
for
their
jobs.
So
to
answer
you
know,
council
councilwoman
clegg's
question
I
mean
I
think
I
totally
support
you
in
fairview
and
state
street
and
those
key
sections
that
you
were
talking
about,
but
I
implore
you
to
engage
and
continue
to
invest
in
vrt
and
public
transportation,
but
also
reach
and
connect
with
the
boise
metro
chamber.
S
If
you
haven't
already-
and
I
think,
let's
leverage
the
this-
this
compass
data
and
study
to
have
bigger
conversations
around,
how
do
we
capitalize
on
this
investment
that
boise
has
been
making
for
so
long
and
come
up
with
that
business
case,
because
it's
going
to
be
really
hard
for
a
lot
of
folks
as
they're
having
to
move
further
and
further
out.
So
my
hope
and
request
is,
like
several
people
said
before
me-
is
to
continue
to
invest
in
the
ways
that
you
have
and
continue
to
do
the
great
work
and
asking
how
you
can
improve.
S
But
you
know
the
landscape
has
changed
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
support
in
a
lot
of
different
areas
of
our
communities
now
to
be
more
engaged
and
be
more
willing
to
have
those
conversations
alongside
you.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions
that
you
have.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
O
L
Now,
yes,
okay,
hey
I'm
rory
hester,
I
live
in
north
calister
or
I
live
off
collister
in
state
and
I'm
actually
here
to
support
another
project
later.
But
I
heard
the
state
street
plan
and
I
am
a
huge
fan.
I've
spoken
to
some
of
you
about
development
along
state
street,
which
I
think
is
underutilized
as
far
as
housing,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
the
transport
public
transport
aspect
goes
hand
in
hand
with
getting
development
in
that
part
of
boise.
You
know,
you
know
better
buses,
more
transportation.
L
It's
going
to
make
more
developers
want
to
put
up
more
houses,
more
apartments
along
that
route
and
especially
since
down
in
the
eagle
I
mean
that
has
grown
so
fast.
Plus,
it's
got
easy
access
to
the
other
routes,
green
belt.
My
only
comment
I
will
make
in
a
sort
of
negative
way
is,
though
I
am
not
a
big
user
of
the
bus.
I
travel
for
a
living,
I'm
in
florida
right
now,
there's
not
many
east-west.
Well,
I
mean
north-south
routes.
L
From
that
section
you
know
we
can
go
to
glenwood,
but
I
I
don't
even
know
if
there
is
a
veteran's
park
route.
I
mean
that's
just
something:
I've
noticed
when
I've
tried
to
look
at
bus
routes
to
get
places,
but
that's
all
I
have,
and
hopefully
you
have
no
questions
so
thank
you.
A
T
Good
to
see
you
folks
as
well-
I
don't
know
if
I
get
my
name,
I'm
just
gonna
give
my
address.
Also.
My
name
is
jared
austin.
I
live
at
4211
west
fairmont
street
just
so
I
don't
get
in
trouble.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
you
folks
for
having
this
hearing
here
tonight.
T
I
am
a
big
believer
in
the
the
freedom
and
ability
that
public
transportation
can
give
to
a
community
when
done
well.
So
I
I
would
just
like
to
applaud,
applaud
your
your
thought.
That's
going
into
these
extra
funds.
This
really
gives
valley
regional
transit
kind
of
an
ability
that
they've
been
missing
in
the
past
as
far
as
just
extra
funds,
beyond
just
the
day-to-day
that
they
have
to
cobble
together
from
the
different
municipalities
around
here.
T
This
gives
them
a
bit
of
freedom
to
actually
kind
of
vision
out
a
little
bit
farther
than
they
have
in
the
past.
I
think
that
the
idea
of
moving
state
street
towards
a
more
brt
like
model
is
great.
I
think
it's
important
to
have
really
good
examples
of
public
transportation
that
we
can
point
to
to
say.
Yes,
this
is
how
this
can
work
in
our
community,
and
this
is
how
good
it
can
be
so
just
kind
of
casting
a
vision
for
our
community
of
how
good
things
can
be.
T
In
addition
to
that,
I'd
also
encourage
you
folks
to
to
just
look
at
more
investment
in
other
other
corridors,
that
connect
or
close
to
the
state
street
corridor,
really
having
that
network
effect
of
of
routes
all
running
at
at
very
high
frequencies,
with
very
little
headway
that
really
exponentially
amplifies
the
investments
that
we
make
in
those
areas,
because
as
soon
as
you,
you
get
to
the
point
where
you
don't
have
to
look
at
a
transit
schedule,
state
street
really
is
almost
there
at
15-minute
headways.
T
That's
when
that's
when
you
really
start
to
see
people
take
advantage
of
of
your
investments
in
those
areas,
so
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
to
keep
working
on
the
the
state
street
quarter.
That
sounds
great,
but
don't
forget
about
increased
service
on
on
other,
connecting
routes
just
to
try
to
amplify
our
investments.
Thank.
E
Jared
did
you
have
any
specific
routes?
I
know
that
rory
just
mentioned
veterans,
and
so
I
know
you're
kind
of
talking
about
in
general
overall,
which
is
important.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
if
you
had
any
specific
ones
that
you
had
noticed
that
I
took
note
of
it.
T
Not
that
I'd
like
to
recommend
here,
I
can
maybe
think
about
that
more
before
I
I
shoot
my
mouth
off
but
yeah.
I
I
appreciate
that
the
question.
Thank
you.
Thanks
jared.
A
U
Do
thank
you,
yeah,
I'm
jody
peterson
stigers,
the
executive
director
of
interfaith
sanctuary,
homeless,
shelter
and
obviously,
transportation
is
always
a
big
conversation
with
our
guests
and
also
a
big
part
of
their
frustrations
as
far
as
being
more
successful
in
employment
options
and
housing
options,
and
so
some
of
our
guests
wanted
to
testify
tonight
and
so
we're
here
and
I'm
going
to
let
them
each
introduce
themselves.
But
I
did
want
to
just
put
out
there
that
the
ideas
that
you
guys
are
looking
at
the
location
where
you're
looking
at
it.
U
You
are
actually
part
of
the
homeless
solution.
Transportation
has
been
a
missing
piece
for
a
really
long
time
and
being
able
to
have
our
guests
who
are
employed,
have
the
option
of
sunday
service
and
after
hours.
These
things
are
what
really
eliminate
opportunity
for
them,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
be
part
of
the
conversation
and
very
grateful
to
all
of
you
who
are
working
on
really
trying
to
look
at
a
transition
system
that
has
that
has
bones.
U
So
our
first
speakers
kevin
I'm
going
to
let
him
introduce
himself
and
we've
got
three
speakers
and
then
some
people
were
not
able
to
be
here,
but
they
wrote
me
little
notes,
so
I'll
read
them
afterwards.
Just
so
you
have
a
full
picture
of
what
it's
like
for
this
particular
population.
Thanks.
You
guys.
A
Jody
we'll
reserve
your
two
minutes
for
reading
after
and
then
each
person.
That's
here
has
three
minutes
to
testify
so
yep.
So
each
of
you
just
introduce
yourself
we'll
start
the
clock
over.
I
can
never
remember
if
you
can
see
the
clock
or
not
but
and
you'll
hear
the
clerk.
Let
you
know
that
it's
almost
time.
V
Good
evening
folks,
my
name
is
kevin.
Bullard,
I'm
61
years
old,
I'm
currently
been
at
the
interfaith
sanctuary
for
two
months
and
actively
working
the
recovery
program
that
they
have
here,
which
has
helped
me
out
a
lot.
I've
rode
the
bus
a
lot
in
the
past
when
I
wasn't
in
a
homeless
state,
but
the
things
that
hit
me
is
the
buses.
You
know
it'd
be
buses
to
run
seven
days
a
week
with
some
to
run
until
as
late
as
midnight.
V
As
far
as
you
know,
starting
a
job
getting
your
foot
in
the
door,
the
more
frequent
what
runs
up
and
down
shinden
boulevard,
which
I
heard
someone
say
something
about
the
fact
of
connecting
state
up
to
shinden.
You
know
as
shinden.
They
have
it's.
It's
almost
non-existent.
V
You
know
runs
in
the
morning
and
runs
at
night,
nothing
in
the
afternoons
and
more
frequent
runs
from
napa
to
caldwell,
which
would
open
up
more
job
opportunities
for
us
people
seeking
employment.
V
You
know
out
in
napa,
they've
got
the
cheese,
the
cheese
factory
which
is
easy
to
get
a
job
at,
but
as
if
you
don't
have
a
vehicle,
it's
it's
out
of
the
question,
and
one
thing
I've
noticed
is
the
need
to
keeping
up
with
this
frequent
cleaning
since
covid.
You
know
the
the
cleaning
has
been
really
good
and
positive,
but
I
think
that
that
needs
to
be
kept
up.
You
know
on
that
level.
V
V
There
are
some
people
that
choose
to
stay
on
the
street
and
not
want
assistance.
Maybe
they
don't
have
the
luxury
of
good
hygiene
and
stuff,
but
with
the
cleaning
of
the
buses
that
helps
out
greatly
here
at
the
shelter
we're
provided
with
hygiene
clothes.
Second
morning
everything
I
mean
you
wouldn't
you're
going
out
for
a
job
interview.
You
wouldn't
know
that
there's
a
homeless
person
you
know,
and
it
would
be
nice
to
have
like
a
in-city
boise.
V
It
would
be
a
free
bus
service
that
runs
through
the
downtown
border
area,
it's
kind
of
like
for
tourists
or
people
in
a
downtown
area
that
need
to
get
to
one
side
of
town
to
the
other
that
aren't
driving.
T
A
V
I
I
don't
have
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
drawing
that
really
important
connection
between
employment
opportunities
for
high
quality
employees
such
as
yourself
and
where
people
live
all
around
our
community.
I
think
it's
really
important
that
employers
hear
that
too,
because
they
can
be
part
of
the
solution
to
our
transit
needs
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
speaking
up.
V
V
W
Good
evening
my
name
is
cal
horton
and
I'm
a
resident
here
at
the
interfaith
sanctuary.
I've
been
here
for
a
little
bit
of
time
and
I've
used
the
bus
system
quite
a
bit
for
the
fact.
I
don't
have
a
license
right
now,
but
I've
ridden
my
bike
several
times
or
a
lot
of
the
time
too,
and
one
of
the
problems
I
have
is
they,
like
only
have
three
little
bike
holders
if
they
could
put
like,
maybe
some
in
the
back
too.
W
You
know
where
you
could
put
more
bikes
on,
because
I
don't
I
don't
mind,
riding
a
bike,
but
I
do
a
lot
of
work
out
in
caldwell
napa
area.
You
know
construction
and
landscaping
and
lots
of
times.
You
know
if
you
don't
get
at
the
bus,
stop
really
really
early
you're
not
going
to
get
a
spot
on
it,
and
then
I
get
kind
of
stuck
out
there
and
having
to
pay
for
a
cab.
W
That's
kind
of
a
concern
I
have
is
you
know
out
in
that
eagle
area,
nampa
caldwell
area
and
you
know
even
farther
out
towards
indian
lakes
and
whatnot.
That's,
I
guess
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
you
know
on
the
on
the
business
and
and
working
type
aspect,
I
think
they're
doing
great.
You
know
cleaning
the
buses
and
everything
and
I'm
you
know,
I'm
happy
to
have
happy
to
have
transportation.
F
E
E
A
Yeah,
that's
a
that's
a
great
point
to
bring
up
for
us
to
think
about,
because
that's
not
a
lot
of
bikes
on
a
bus,
especially
for
those
longer
hauls.
Yes,
councilmember
whittings
yeah,
madam
mayor.
I
I
X
My
name
is
christopher
claussen,
the
only
thing
that
I
could
see
changing
that
needs
help
besides
some
getting
more
routes.
X
Hopefully,
if
you
guys
can
do
that
because
it
makes
it
just
to
reiterate
what
kevin
said,
it
makes
it
more
accessible
for
us
to
be
available
for
more
jobs
and
makes
it
easier
to
get
to
and
from
those
jobs
would
be
a
directory
on
the
bus
stops
because
not
all
bus
stops,
I
mean
all
bus
stops,
have
a
number
you
can
call,
but
not
everybody
has
a
phone
so
if
they
could
place
maps
on
where
they
go
to
transfer
to
the
next
buses.
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
idea.
J
Go
ahead
if
you're
done,
if
you
have
more
you're,
certainly
welcome,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
that's
been
a
concern
of
mine
as
well.
This
cure
valley,
regional
transit
is
doing
care.
Analyzing
is
places
where
more
information
needs
to
be
available
for
bus
riders.
J
So
thank
you
for
that
comment
because
that
confirms
that,
in
fact
that
is
a
need.
I
appreciate
it.
U
I
had
three
guests
who
weren't
able
to
be
here
this
evening,
so
I'll
just
read
through
them.
We
need
buses
to
make
bigger
trips
like
trips,
from
boise,
to
nampa
or
to
mountain
home.
Buses
need
to
go
further
out,
because
people
can't
take
jobs
with
the
current
transportation.
Housing
is
less
expensive
than
nampa
and
caldwell,
but
if
there's
no
transportation
that
eliminates
those
options
for
us
and
that's
from
joel
penn
and
then
we
need
buses
to
run
on
sundays
because
there
are
people
working
and
because
of
lack
of
transportation.
U
On
those
days,
many
people
can't
take
weekend
jobs.
Buses
need
to
run
later
because
people
were
closing
shifts,
and
this
leaves
them
without
transportation.
After
work,
some
of
the
bus
routes
should
be
non-stop
like
state
broadway,
coal
and
franklin.
If
a
bus
runs
every
15
minutes,
it
would
increase
the
ability
to
get
to
a
job
in
a
timely
manner.
U
If
you
miss
a
bus
now
you
have
to
wait
for
the
next
bus
and
this
can
cause
issues
with
being
on
time
for
appointments
and
work
and
that's
from
chris
mette
and
then
the
last
one
is
there's
only
one
bus
stop
in
meridian
and
nothing
goes
out
to
napa
and
caldwell.
So
we
can't
get
to
jobs,
appointments
and
housing.
This
causes
more
barriers
to
getting
out
of
homelessness
and
that's
from
jonathan
asher,
and
we
appreciate
you
guys
being
able
to
hear
the
voices
of
people
that
I
think
could
be
so
served
by
your
transportation
plan.
A
Jody,
thank
you
and
please
let
your
guests
who
sent
letters
know
that
their
statements
were
because
you
read
them
they're,
reflected
in
the
record
as
well,
and
we
really
appreciate
their
testimony
great.
Thank
you
very
much
and
counsel.
President
pro
tem
has
something.
D
U
Absolutely
there
are
so
many
jobs
that
are
turned
down,
because
we
just
can't
figure
out
a
transportation
plan
for
them.
I
mean
the
city
of
boise.
Work
program
is
successful
because
we
provide
the
transportation
and
take
them
to
the
different
locations
where
they're
needed,
but
transportation
would
in
fact
open
up
more
opportunity
for
better
paying
jobs.
U
Amazon
has
2
000
jobs
right
now
that
they
can't
fill
and
we're
trying
to
work
on
a
transportation
plan
right
now
with
them,
so
that
we
can
transport
our
guests
and
then
hopefully
open
up
opportunity
for
housing
out
there.
But,
yes,
transportation
is
directly
related
to
how
rapidly
we
can
get
someone
out
of
their
homeless
situation.
J
Thank
you
thanks
for
being
here
jody
and
thanks
for
making
sure
your
guests
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
us
really
appreciate
that
much
of
what
we
heard
today,
the
the
things
that
we
can
control
are
sunday
hours
and
later
hours
and,
as
you
know,
we've
been
working
to
expand
those
in
the
boise
system.
The
things
we
can't
control
are
a
better
service
to
nampa,
caldwell
meridian,
and
so
it
would
be
really
helpful.
J
If
we're
ever
going
to
have
a
complete
transportation
system
across
the
valley,
we
really
need
their
partnership
and
so
to
the
extent
that
you
can,
if,
if
you
could
try
to
contact
them
and
let
them
know
these
same
concerns,
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful.
U
Absolutely-
and
you
know
just
while
we're
all
together,
I
mean
there
is
thoughts
of
you
know.
Vrt
has
talked
about.
It
is
about
more
than
just
the
community
and
the
council
about
improving
transportation.
It's
getting
those
businesses
that
really
need
employment
to
invest
in
these
lines,
and
I
think
that
there's
key
partners
out
there
that
in
fact
could
help
us
determine
those
lines,
and
I
think
amazon
is
a
really
good
example
of
not
just
transportation
but
housing
as
well.
So
I
I
love
that
conversation
happening.
You
know
between
leaders
and
and
new
partners,.
J
Thank
you,
you're
you're,
absolutely
correct
the
business
community
as
well.
So
thanks
for
all
you're.
A
Great
welcome
esther.
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
My
name
is
ester
sehha.
I
reside
at
3
3901
north
cambria
tonight.
I
provide
comments
as
a
long-time
resident
of
boise
who,
at
one
point
in
my
life,
relied
on
the
bus
system
in
2000
2001..
Y
The
bus
system
was
my
primary
mode
of
transportation
to
and
from
work,
and
today,
nearly
20
years
later,
with
the
except
the
exception
of
the
pandemic,
I
intermittently
use
the
bus
and
have
been
known
to
purchase
a
year-round
bus
pass
for
my
partner.
Y
I
support
the
city's
continued
funding
of
the
system.
I
recall
attending
a
similar
like
meeting
last
year
where
there
was
a
proposal
to
increase
the
amount
for
some
reason
five
percent
is
is
in
my
head,
but
you
know
I.
I
support
the
city's
efforts.
I
do
want
to
point
out
on
something
that
was
mentioned
in
other
people's
comments,
and
that
is,
we
do
need
connectivity.
Y
We
need
connectivity
north
south-
I
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
how
we
make
it
happen,
but
we've
got
we've
got
it
in
on
fairview
on
vista
on
state
street,
but
what
about
five
mile
victory
overland
far
out
in
those
areas
where
some
of
those
folks
also
need
a
reliable
source
of
transportation?
So
I
just
ask
you
to
think
about
that.
Thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity.
A
J
Thanks
esther
for
being
here
on
that
connectivity,
one
of
the
things
I've
been
talking
to
our
staff
and
to
vrt
staff
about
is
reorganizing
the
lines
in
the
northwest
part
of
the
city,
both
below
the
bench
and
above
the
bench,
with
the
potential
of
attempting
to
do
a
north-south
route.
All
the
way
from
glenwood
to
overland
on
coal.
J
In
your
experience,
would
that
be
a
value?
Would
that
be
a
more
valuable
connection
than
veterans
parkway,
which
would
go
up
potentially
to
fairview
occurs?
We
probably
ultimately
need
both
of
them,
but
trying
to
figure
out
what
would
be
the
best
one
to
begin
with.
Well,.
Y
We
definitely
need
something
on
veterans
and
so
two
years
ago
I
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago
three
years
ago
I
rode
the
bus
from
my
place
to
work
and
then
from
my
place
of
work
downtown
and
then
I
wanted
to
get
to
some
event
in
garden
city
and
I
got
downtown
at
three
o'clock
and
I
pretty
much
walked
to
the
garden
city
area
via
the
green
belt,
because
there
was
no
running
bus
service
available.
Y
So
there
is
a
need
to
provide
service
to
the
folks
in
in
the
garden
city
area
by
way
of
veterans.
You
know
what
I
know.
I
know
of
people
that
live
kind
of
in
the
five
mile
south
of
overland
and
and
they
will
ride
their
bikes,
and
I
have
rid
my
bike
from
that
area
to
northwest
boise
and
it
is
a
daunting
task
at
times,
but
there's
there's
yeah.
I
guess
I
would
have
to
look
at
that.
A
little
closer
elaine.
J
A
Z
Hi,
so
I
have
a
two-year-old
who
might
be
in
the
background.
My
name
is
jessica.
I
live
on
5000
west
mimosas
street
in
boise,
and
my
family
has
been
fortunate
enough
to
have
great
access
to
the
greenbelt,
and
so
we
have
used
that
frequently,
and
I
would
say
that
our
main
use
of
it
is
bike,
and
so
I
would
second
the
gentleman's
comment
earlier
tonight
that
using
having
more
bike
spots
on
a
bus
line
would
absolutely
be
beneficial.
Z
That
would
allow
us
to
not
only
use
the
bus
route
to
get
to
and
from
places
that
aren't
as
easily
biked
with
a
young
toddler,
but
we
could
then
use
the
bus
to
get
that
transportation
around
into
some
of
the
more
distant
areas
where
we
could
take
a
bus
and
then
potentially
bike
for
the
rest
of
our
destination
to
that
area,
especially
as
bus
lines
are
starting
to
increase.
Where
you
have
those
longer
jaunts
like
esther
was
just
mentioning.
Z
I've
lived
in
cities
where
that
is
accessible
in
both
denver
and
in
san
diego,
and
I
we
absolutely
enjoyed
writing
the
public
transportation
and
found
it
very
valuable
and
having
that
access
to
be
there
to
bring
our
bikes
along
would
be
even
more
beneficial
and
then
I
know
this
isn't
directly
related
to
the
current
meeting.
But
I
would
just
pose
the
question
that,
with
interface
relocation,
it
sounds
like
most
of
the
transportation
for
the
individuals
who
spoke
tonight
and
the
letters
written
was
mentioning
connectivity
to
nampa
and
caldwell.
Z
And
so
I
posed
the
question
that
potentially
interfaith
could
consider
relocating
to
somewhere
or
having
a
second
shelter,
to
have
two
smaller
shelters
to
kind
of
disperse
the
burden
and
well
not
the
burden,
because
they're,
not
people
who
are
homeless
are
not
a
burden,
but
to
increase
the
number
of
locations
where
people
would
potentially
have
more
access
to
get
themselves
back
on
their
feet
and
find
jobs
by
being
closer
to
their
locations
and
having
that
easier
access
to
transportation
that
doesn't
require
three
different
cities
coordinating
their
bus
schedules
to
make
it
so
that
people
can
easily
transit
across
those
cities.
H
Madam
mayor,
yes,
go
ahead.
I
have.
I
A
I
have
a
question
for
stephen
in
reflection
of
jessica's
comments
about
bikes
and
the
prior
comments
we
heard
about
bikes
steven.
I
know
that
we're
doing
a
better
job
of
counting
riders
now
are
we
also
counting
bicycles
that
are
being
transported
on
the
bus
system.
AA
A
Z
Yeah,
thank
you.
He
was.
We
were
actually
at
a
council
city
council
meeting,
I
think
a
couple
years
ago
now
and
he
was
an
infant
and
you
guys
were
gracious
enough
to.
Let
me
speak
early
because
he
was
just
chatting
away
during
that
time
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
your
patience
as
always
with
kiddos.
I
love
that
he's
growing.
Z
And
he's
jimmy
many
times
at
boise
bicycle
projects,
the
bike
giveaways
he's
done
it
every
year,
he's
been
alive,
so
yeah
we
definitely
enjoy
engaging
him
in
part
of
the
city
and
we've
enjoyed
living
in
boise
and
making
ourselves
part
of
the
community
here
tremendously
and
so
having
access
to
great
transportation
and
support
across
the
board
from
the
city
is
an
incredible
thing.
So
thank
you.
A
And
jessica
was
the
last
person
signed
up
to
testify
this
evening
and
so
before?
What
I
think
this
isn't
there's
no
action
taken
tonight,
but
my
understanding
is
that
they'll,
like
likely
we'll
want
to
have
some
conversation
about
what
a
potential
resolution
looks
like.
But
before
that
does
any
member
of
the
council
have
questions
for
stephen
as
follow
up
to
anything
heard
or
for
bree
or
karen.
D
Madame
yeah,
thank
you
stephen.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
about
the
bicycle
situation.
When
you
said
that
it
there
is
a
system
in
place
that
will
count.
D
AA
E
While
we're
on
the
bicycle
issue,
stephen
I've
had
some
employees
who've
worked
over
in
nampa
before
and
sometimes
they
would
come
in
and
they
they
would
have
to
leave
their
bike.
Basically,
at
the
bus
stop
you
know
in
nampa,
because
the
bike
rack
was
full
in
a
couple
of
circumstances.
I
think
people
ended
up
getting
their
bicycles
stolen
by
the
time
that
they
got
back.
You
know
to
the
spot,
you
know
if
they
had
to
leave
them.
E
I
don't
know
if
there's
if
it's
possible,
to
put
more
than
three
three
bikes
on
the
bus,
if
there's
other
solutions
that
other
cities
are
are
seeing,
whether
they're
additional
racks
or
if
they're
inside
storage,
but
I
was
wondering
if
you
might
be
able
to
speak
to
if
you've
seen
any
larger
capacity
bike
racks,
just
because
I
know
that
there's
only
so
much
you
can
do
right
as
far
as
being
able
to
load
bikes
on
there.
So
I
didn't
know
if
you
have
any
thoughts
or
comments
there.
AA
Madam
mayor
councilmember,
halliburton,
it's
hard,
I
mean
we
went
from
two
racks
to
three
racks,
which
is
good
yeah
but
they're.
I
am
not
aware
of
any
racks
that
get
bigger
than
three.
It
gets
challenging
if
you're
going
to
go
to
an
outside
rack
that
has
more
than
that
in
terms
of
the
additional
length
that
it
puts
on
the
end
of
the
bus.
AA
The
only
other
solution,
as
far
as
on
the
bus
transportation,
that
I've
seen
is
an
example
actually
in
north
of
seattle
everett
area
there
they
have
bus,
rapid
transit
vehicles,
so
these
are
articulated
coaches,
meaning,
sorry
longer,
coaches,
they're,
60
feet,
60,
foot
coaches,
which
just
makes
more
space
on
the
inside,
and
I've
seen
integrated
bike
racks
in
the
back
of
those
where
you'd
actually
bring
the
right
the
bike
onto
the
bus
and
hang
it
on
on
the
inside
of
the
vehicle,
but
even
there
I
think
it.
AA
So
maybe
it
gets
you
four
bikes
so
and
that's
on
a
coach,
that's
twice
as
big
as
the
current
one.
So
if
you,
the
math,
works
out
that,
if
you,
if
you're
talking
about
a
large
percentage
of
bikers
trying
to
get
on
a
bus.
AA
The
way
to
solve
that
problem
is
to
find
out
how
figure
out
how
you
can
have
a
bike
on
both
ends
of
the
bus
or
both
ends
of
the
trip,
as
opposed
to
carrying
the
bike
with
you
through
the
trip.
So
that's
where
we
would
look
at
things
like
bike
racks
at
the
bus
stops
and
facilitating
things
like
bike
share
in
the
particularly
in
the
downtown
areas
where
they
might
be
able
to
ride
their
bike
to
one
end
of
the
trip
and
then
use
a
bike
share
on
the
other
end
of
the
trip.
AA
E
Yeah,
thank
you
steven.
As
far
as
not
allowing
bicycles
on
the
bus
are
there
some
bicycles
that
are
that
are
allowed,
whether
they're
you
know
folding
bikes,
brompton
bikes,
you
know,
you're
kind
of
more
specialized
ones
that
are
sometimes
beetle
are
allowed
to
be
taken
into
other
locations
like
restaurants
and
stuff.
I
know
that
there's
some
cleanliness
issues,
but
I'm
wondering
if
there's
any
policies
around
certain
types
of
bikes
that
might
be
certified.
Also.
AA
There,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
they're,
to
be
honest,
I
don't
know
that
there
are
any
policies
that
call
out
bikes
to
say
that
they're
prohibited
on
the
bus.
The
problem
is
just
the
size
of
the
like:
we
don't
have
people
bringing
things
that
large,
whether
they're
a
bike
or
anything
else
onto
the
bus.
So
if
you
have
a
folding
bike
that
actually
can
compress
down
to
the
size
that
you
can
carry
it
in
your
lap,
those
types
of
that
kind
of
space,
then
it's
there.
I
don't
think,
there's
a!
AA
A
So
I
just
have
a
follow-up
question
on
that
steven.
Is
there
language
that
allows
the
bus
driver
to
use
his
or
her
discretion
in
allowing
buses
onto
the
bus?
That's
how
they
do
it
in
denver
and
salt
lake,
when
the
racks
are
full.
D
Mayor
yep
go
ahead,
thank
you
steven
since,
since
we're
doing
spacing
and
we're
still
deferring
to
the
needs
of
kovid,
you
know
what
what
does
that
look
like
right
now
on
the
bus
since
we're
we're
not
operating
as
usual
or
where
we've,
where
we've
got
masking
and
spacing
going
on?
What
does
that
look
like
on
the
bus
now.
AA
Adam
mayor
councilmember
sanchez,
I
believe
what
you're
asking
about
is:
what
does
the
load
of
the
bus
look
like
right
now?
How
many
people
are
on
the
bus
and
because,
in
terms
of
general
operations,
we're
more
or
less
operating
as
we
did
before?
D
I
know
when,
when
you
presented
earlier,
you
talked
about
how
the
2019
and
the
2020
data
collection
methods
are
different,
because
we've
got
a
a
more
accurate
count
in
in
2020
than
we
did
in
2019.
D
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
possibility
for
us
to
try
out
having
bicycles
on
the
bus
at
this
time,
just
to
see
how
it
works
since
we're
we're
being
innovative
these
days
and
to
see
and
to
do
some
data
collection
and
see
how
that
works.
Maybe
that
increases
our
ridership
just
thought.
W
A
That
shows
the
public
that
you
know.
We
learn
things
when
we
hear
from
folks
of
all
walks
of
life,
and
there
are
a
couple
nuggets
of
really
important
information.
I
think
that
we
all
heard
tonight
as
we
think
about
how
we
make
these
investments
moving
forward
and
then
work
is
partners
with
this,
this
valley,
regional
transit,
to
serve
the
community.
A
What
I
I
think
we
ought
to
do
is
you
know
there
are
a
couple
questions
before
us
this
evening
that
the
public
ought
to
hear
us
and
and
council
particularly
weigh
in
on
so
that
in
the
coming
month,
we
can
come
back
with
a
resolution
to
move
this
budget
item
forward.
This
is
one
of
our
largest
budget
items,
as
we
saw
you
know.
A
If
we
looked
at
vrt
as
a
department,
as
we
saw
in
bringing
karen's
presentation,
it's
right
up
there
with
one
of
our
larger
kind
of
budget,
buckets
or
departments
and
so
making
sure
that
we
are
making
investments
that
are
that
are
fiscally
sound,
linking
the
investments
to
the
importance
of
affordable
housing
and
economic
opportunity
and
then
taking
advantage
of
times
like
these,
when
we
have
the
opportunity
with
last
year's,
cares,
fundings
and
others
to
really
be
to
make
headway
in
ways
that
we
haven't
in
so
long
on.
A
Particular
corridors
is
an
important
thing
for
us
to
weigh
and
as
a
city,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
leverage
our
investments
to
see
additional
investment
come
behind
it
to
make
it
possible
to
grow
out
some
of
these
services
like
state
street.
So
that's
something
to
discuss
and
and
consider,
including
in
a
resolution.
A
I
know
our
our
residents,
you
know,
expect
us
to
make
sound
fiscal
investments
that
are
transparent
and
conservative
in
nature,
with
impact
and
so
figuring
out
how,
as
us
as
a
council
and
as
a
city,
and
we
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
provide
that
to
our
residents
is
important
with
the
long-term
goal
of
building
both
within
our
community
and
then
our
region.
A
A
functioning
transportation
system
at
this
really
important
time
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
want
to
be
able
to
do
with
the
money
and
that
you
all
are
considering
whether
or
not
to
allocate
and
how-
and
so
I'd
encourage
us
to
have
in
that
conversation
at
this
time,
so
that
our
team
can
take
what
they
heard
from
the
public.
A
Take
what
they
hear
from
you
and
and
then
work
on
within
the
next
couple
weeks,
together
with
leadership,
but
also
come
back
with
you
back
to
you
with
a
resolution
that
would
memorialize
our
intent.
J
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
testified
tonight,
those
of
you,
if
any
of
you
are
still
listening,
really
helpful,
as
you
said,
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public
and
learn
from
them
the
things
that
they
encounter
using
this
system
in
terms
of
our
priorities,
you've
heard
from
me
already
tonight
that
I've
long
believed
that
getting
state
street
to
a
point
where
we
can
show
people
what
good
transit
looks
like
is
an
important
factor.
J
J
I
think
it
is
good
policy
at
this
point
to
continue
down
the
route
that
we're
on,
which
is
to
improve
services
on
fairview
next,
but
I
think
tonight
points
out
that
at
the
same
time,
while
we're
in
this
year
of
planning,
we
can
begin
thinking
about
if
we
were
able
to
expand
services
following
this
year,
not
in
this
next
year,
but
in
the
years
following
that.
J
J
Route
match
software
so
that
we
can
understand
more
easily
how
to
be
efficient
with
dispatching,
and
so
the
first
two
priorities,
I
think,
are
pretty
easy.
The
transparency
one
is
difficult,
not
because
none
of
us
want
to
be
transparent,
but
because
it's
hard
to
understand
how
to
take
a
system
like
the
city
budget
and
then
have
another
system
like
the
vrt
budget
process
that
are
disparate
and
collect
different
information,
fundamentally
different
information
and
blend
them
in
such
a
way
that
we
can
both
get
from
that.
J
What's
the
best
information
that
will
ensure
that
we're
we're
comfortable
our
citizens
are
comfortable
that
we're
spending
money
in
the
right
place
and
getting
the
most
out
of
it,
while
not
putting
too
big
a
burden
on
our
partner
at
vrt
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
bring
that
to
pass.
So
I'm
not
sure
I
have
a
good
answer
on
that,
except
to
say
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
process,
and
we.
J
N
It,
madam
mayor
yeah,
thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
folks
that
were
able
to
speak
tonight
the
high
caliber
comments
that
we
received
from
each
and
every
one
of
them
was
very
valuable
to
me
and
very
much
appreciated,
and
I
I
want
to
thank
steven
for
being
on
the
whole
call
the
meeting
the
entire
time,
because
I
think
there
was
quite
a
few
nuggets
that
came
out
of
that
and
then
some
were
new
to
me.
N
We
had
a
great
discussion
on
the
bikes
in
particular,
and
I
I
learned
quite
a
bit
from
that.
I
support
what
our
trans
transport
liaison
our
guru
council
president
clegg,
who
I
I
lean
on
to
lead
us
on
the
transportation
side
of
things,
and
I
support
all
the
comments
that
you
mentioned
council
president
clegg
and
I
think
it's
a
good
direction.
N
I
certainly
spend
most
of
my
time
on
fairview
and
agree
with
the
comments
that
were
made
by
one
of
the
citizens
and
councilmember
clegg
in
terms
of
that
being
a
potential
high
priority
area
to
focus
on
even
more
in
the
future.
It's
certainly
a
thriving
street
and
I
could
see
the
potential
for
more
investment
there
going
forward.
E
Like
my
fellow
council
members,
I
really
appreciate
everybody's
comments
tonight.
I
love
it
when
people
bring
ideas
to
the
table
and
we
don't
always
see
that
so
that's
always
exciting
to
see.
E
I
do
think
that
there
there
needs
to
be
some
prioritization
of
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
continuing
to
serve
the
folks
who
are
using
the
bus
every
single
day
during
the
pandemic
and
who
lack
the
other
transportation
options
as
well
as
really
looking
at
our
strategic,
long-term
goals
of
of
expanding
services
in
the
areas
that
we've
already
talked
about.
E
So
that
would
be
my
extra
notice
that
we
do
put
some
consideration
to
if
there
are
potential
things
that
we
can
do
to
elevate
the
effectiveness
during
this
time,
when
there
are
some
folks
who
are
are
still
using
it
for
all
their
essential
travel.
D
Madam
mayor,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
want
to
echo
council
member
hallie
burton's
statement.
I
I
for
sure
think
that
we
need
to
prioritize
those
folks
who,
who
really
don't
have
a
choice
as
to
whether
or
not
they
use
the
bus.
So
I
think
anything
we
can
do
to
improve
services
to
them
should
should
absolutely
be
at
the
top
of
our
list,
because
I
think,
for
the
longest
time
it's
been
folks
who
have
really
relied
on
those
services,
imperfect
as
they
are.
D
It's
it's
better
than
nothing,
but
we
also
have
folks
who
are
privileged
enough
to
be
in
a
position
where
they
can
exercise
their
values
and
and
choose
that
alternative
form
of
transportation
rather
than
then
use
their
vehicle,
and
what
I
also
think
is
to
also
keep
in
mind
that
we
need
to
have
an
investment
where
we're
bringing
the
rest
of
us
along.
D
You
know
when
you,
when
you
see
something
that
grabs
your
eye,
you
pay
attention
to
it
and
I
think,
once
we
start
seeing
more
bus
stops
that
have
presence
to
them
may
even
be
like
those
beautiful
pieces
of
art
we
see
on
vista.
D
I
You
I
I
definitely
want
to
underline
a
lot
of
what
my
fellow
council
members
have
already
said
and
just
add
a
little
something
that
we
heard
from
several
folks
tonight,
which
is
the
importance
of
our
having
a
solid
public
transit
system
as
part
of
our
local
economy,
and
that's
for
both
our
workers
and
our
employers.
I
So
I'm
hoping
that
going
forward
there
can
be.
I
mean
I
really
appreciate
bree
being
here.
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
also
bring
in
our
economic
development
folks
and
make
sure
that
we're
really
talking
about
this
as
an
ecosystem
of
transportation,
so
that
people
can
get
to
the
places
they
need
to
be
so
that
they
can
get
out
of
homelessness
so
that
they
can
seek
better
opportunities
for
their
families.
And
so
I
would
like
to
see
that
that
conversation
happening
and
and
that
combination
of
things
being
talked
about
going
forward.
A
J
Thank
you.
It
looks
like
maybe
everyone
else
has
spoken
just
to
clarify.
You
know
we
set
a
parameter
in
2019
that
we
would
do
six
percent
of
property
tax
collections
no
less
than
this
year.
I
think
defining
that
is
going
to
be
somewhat
challenging,
given
the
governor's
rebate,
and
so
I
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
I
think
our
starting
point
is
where
we
were
last
year,
but
within
that
starting
point
identifying
what
of
those
monies
is
going
directly
at
our
operations
being
clear
about?
J
What's
going
to
other
things
and
what
those
other
things
are.
We've
got
a
lot
of
things
happening
right
now,
with
the
transportation
operations
analysis
with
the
bus,
stop
typology
planning
with
the
planning
to
do,
grant
work
or
apply
for
grants
and
so
again
clearly
identifying
who's
working
on
all
of
those.
J
What
the
resources
are
at
the
city,
what
the
resources
are
at
valley,
regional
transit
toward
those,
so
that
going
forward,
we
can
make
that
work
easy
easier.
Hopefully,
I
think
the
last
piece
for
me
is
as
valley.
Regional
transit
looks
to
build
their
own
resilience
and
their
own
base
operating
going
forward
that
we
identify
what
of
the
assets
that
they
own
need,
replaced
on
a
regular
schedule.
J
J
There's
going
to
be
plenty
of
work
for
everyone,
but
I
I
think
that
will
that
will
just
solidify
the
basis
that
we've
been
working
on
with
valley
regional
transit
and
allow
them
frankly
the
capacity
to
do
the
other
things
they
need
to
do
to
grow
into
this
regional
system
that
we're
hearing.
Everyone
say
that
we
need
so,
hopefully
that's
direction
to
bree
and
if
necessary,
we
can.
We
can
clarify,
as
the
draft
comes
along.
A
I'm
going
to
look
to
staff
now
and
make
and
ask
if
you've
gotten
enough
clarity
to
work
on
something
that
we
can
review.
A
As
well
as
the
base
last
year's
cost,
the
starting
point
I
wrote
down
last
year's
cost
is
starting
point
for
this
year's
cost
detail
regarding
what
goes
to
operations
and
what
then
goes
to
priority
and
other
routes,
as
well
as
some
clarity
and
responsibility
and
accountability.
Around
grant
grants
applications
leverage
of
our
dollars
for
additional
dollars
to
build
out
a
system
such
as
state
street,
and
then
the
potential
shovel
worthy
project
that
you
know
we
could
potentially
submit.
D
I
think
somebody
at
least
one
person
who
testified
tonight
talked
about
us
renewing
conversations
with
other
other
cities
in
vrt
about
them
increasing
their.
A
Contribution
I'd
recommend
on
that
one
appreciate
the
suggestion
that
it
not
be
tied
to
our
resolution
on
what
we
will
fund,
but
that
that
the
council
president
and
I,
as
members
of
the
vrt
board,
working
with
karen
and
brie
on
our
staff
and
them
working
with
vrt
staff,
like
provide
some
support,
encouragement
and
expectation
that,
whether
it
be
cities
or
addition,
new
partnerships
with
businesses
are
found,
and
I
think
that
there's
potential
to
do
that,
but
it
ought
to
stay
separate
from
our
own
funding
decision.
J
Madam
mayor,
just
to
go
a
little
bit
further
on
that,
just
information
for
councilmember
sanchez.
J
In
the
last
three
meetings
at
vrt's
executive
board,
the
executive
committees
really
dug
into
how
to
begin
those
regional
conversations
and
how
to
make
them
more,
fruitful
and
stevens
presented
yesterday
actually
sort
of
the
outcome
of
those
conversations
and
a
schedule
of
how
we
would
convene
some
of
those
conversations
that
you
know
the
appropriate
time
to
do
it
so
that
we're
not
in
the
middle
of
when
vrt
is
doing
route
changes,
but
that
we're
doing
it
at
a
time
of
year
that
it
can
be
considered
for
those
route
changes
later.
J
O
A
A
A
A
All
right
welcome
back
cody.
This
is
sos
21-1
on
park
hill
drive.
So
for
this
we'll
hear
from
cody
for
the
city
eric,
is
it
lyle
or
leo
for
as
an
applicant
highlands?
Is
the
neighbors
hood
association
on
record,
but
we
so
let
us
know
if
you're
here
we're
not
expecting
that
nobody
signed
up
to
testify
in
advance.
K
Ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
This
item
is
a
request
to
vacate
a
plat
note
related
to
specific
setbacks
for
a
parcel
addressed
at
800
west
park
hill
drive
for
those
unfamiliar
with
the
address.
The
site
is
located
just
northeast
of
hill,
road
of
the
hill
road
and
15th
street
intersection.
K
As
you
can
see,
the
slope
actually
drops
off
quite
dramatically
towards
the
back
of
the
parcel
rather
than
the
oddly
configured
setback
at
the
front.
The
applicant
would
like
it
reduced
we
originally.
It
was
originally
suggested
simply
to
the
20-foot
setback
that's
allowed
in
the
underlying
zone.
We
see.
No,
we
see
and
continue
to
see
no
reason
not
to
support
the
request,
reducing
that
setback
will
allow
construction
to
occur
while
significantly
reducing
the
amount
of
grading
required
and
have
no
measurable
impact
on
other
properties
in
the
in
the
area.
K
Until
today,
we
were
only
aware
of
support
for
the
proposal.
In
fact,
fire
commented
that
placing
the
home
up
closer
on
the
lot
would
be
safer
from
their
perspective.
K
The
applicant
act
has
agreed
to
that,
so
we
are
asking
that
you
approve
the
vacation
of
the
platinum
this
evening
and
simply
add
that
25-foot
setback
as
a
condition
of
approval.
Thank
you.
A
AB
Thanks
for
having
me
yeah,
we
understand
that
the
one
of
our
neighbors
put
in
a
request
for
a
25-foot
setback
and
that's
completely
fine
with
us.
Our
current
plan
is
for
a
25-foot
setback
and
we'd
be
completely
happy
to
comply
with
that.
A
A
A
tiny
bit,
but
not
a
lot
and
I'm
noticing
everybody
all
the
council
members
on
zoom,
at
least
are,
are
really
trying
to
hear
you.
AB
AB
Okay,
perfect
thanks
for
the
time
everybody
yeah
we
had
put
in
a
proposal.
I
think
actually,
my
original
proposal
actually
set
a
25
foot
setback
and
we're
completely
happy
to
comply
with
our
neighbor's
request
for
a
25-foot
setback
following
the
curvature
of
the
cul-de-sac.
AB
M
Madam
mayor,
no
no
question:
I
just
wanted
to
observe
how
wonderful
it
is
when
an
applicant
receives
feedback
from
the
neighbors
looks
at
the
plans,
says
yeah.
This
isn't
a
problem,
I'm
happy
to
do
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
the
neighbors
for
your
input,
but
it's
just
so
refreshing
to
see
that,
and
I
know
I
really
appreciate
it.
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
do
too.
AB
Yeah,
anytime
and
yeah,
thanks
for
all
you
guys
do
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
hear
this.
This
change
request.
So
I
appreciate
it.
AB
A
D
E
E
K
Madam
mayor,
just
just
briefly,
I
assume
everyone
seemed
in
agreement
that
they
want
to
add
the
condition
on
the
25
foot,
the
25
foot
setback.
A
Next
up
is
car
20-19
at
1522,
west
state
street,
so
cody
your
backup,
and
then
we
have
the
applicant
matthew,
cameron
of
cameron,
investments
and
tom
sheldon
from
gglo
the
neighborhood
association.
If
you're
here
is
north
end
on
record,
given
the
space
and
then
we
do
have
a
group
of
you
that
are
signed
up
to
testify.
I've
got
your
names,
I'll
call
you
through
and
if
I
don't
call
your
name
and
you're
here
to
talk
just
raise
your
hand.
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
This
is
a
request
to
rezone
0.3
acres
from
pcdd
to
c5d
or
pedestrian
commercial,
with
downtown
design
review
to
the
central
business
district
with
downtown
design
review.
The
property
is
located
on
the
northeast
corner
of
state
and
16th
street,
both
arterial
roadways.
K
The
purpose
of
the
rezone
request
is
to
accommodate
a
mixed-use
development,
comprised
primarily
of
residential
uses
or
residential
I'll
get
into
the
details
in
a
moment
as
it
relates
to
the
rezone.
The
property
is
in
the
downtown
planning
area
and
the
west
side
downtown
urban
renewal
district,
it's
designated
downtown
mixed
use
on
the
land
use
map
of
blueprint
boise,
and,
given
that
designation,
a
number
of
there
are
a
number
of
potentially
appropriate
zoning
districts.
K
K
K
So
like
that
application,
this
request
does
include
a
development
agreement.
The
agreement
ties
development
of
the
property
to
the
building
concept.
You
see
on
the
screen.
It's
a
646
story
building
that
includes
approximately
four
thousand
square
feet
of
commercial
space
on
the
ground
floor
at
the
corner,
with
parking
provided
in
a
portion
of
the
ground
floor
and
then
below
grade
parking
is
to
be
accessed
via
right
in
right
out
entrance
on
state
street
and
a
two-way
entrance
on
16th.
K
The
upper
five
floors
of
the
project
will
include
approximately
105
dwelling
units
of
those
units.
The
applicant
has
agreed
to
maintain
at
least
five
percent
at
80
to
100
percent
ami
for
a
period
of
five
years,
with
a
rezone
like
this
to
c5,
the
primary
concern
would
be
the
unlimited
height
limit
allowed
in
the
c5
zone.
The
development
agreement
does
cap
the
height
allowance
at
85
feet.
I
would
also
note
that
it
requires
the
building
to
set
step
down
to
four
stories
on
the
northern
boundary
and
then
five
to
the
east.
K
K
As
you
saw
on
the
record,
the
commission
did
hear
a
mix
of
opposition
and
support
for
the
project.
Those
in
opposition
were
concerned,
primarily
with
the
height
and
potentially
the
increase
in
traffic.
Those
in
support
recognized
the
benefits
of
providing
additional
housing
in
this
location,
as
you
saw.
Ultimately,
the
commission
found
the
request
consistent
with
the
approval
criteria.
K
The
rezone
with
development
agreement
will
allow
a
site
consumed
predominantly
by
paving
to
be
replaced
with
a
mis
mixed
use,
building
with
more
than
100
new
homes
within
walking
distance
of
countless
services
and
amenities
and
along
a
bus
route
that
you
heard
quite
a
bit
about
this
evening
as
detailed
in
the
packet.
The
rezone
is
supported
by
numerous
elements
of
the
comprehensive
plan
and,
from
the
commission's
perspective,
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
community.
E

Thank
you,
madam
mayor
cody,
that
that
stretch
right
there
kind
of
has
a
funky
southbound
bike
lane,
on
the
left
hand,
side
and
from
what
I
could
tell
it
looks
like
there's
only
one
exit
coming
out
of
the
building
there
and
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
double
check
and
make
sure
that
it's
not
adding
any
sort
of
weird
undue
burden
to
a
pretty
prominent
bike
lane
that
goes
from
north
to
south.
K
Madam
mayor
councilmember,
hallie
burton
the
project
includes
just
the
two
just
the
two
access
points
located
as
we
would
encourage
as
far
away
from
the
intersection
really
as
really
as
possible.
K
You
know
I
would
say
that
that
replaces
this
corner,
which
which
largely
functions
as
as
almost
one
large,
curb
cut
around
the
intersection.
So
in
terms
of
conflicts
with
the
bike
lane,
I
think
maximizing
that
offset
set
from
the
intersection
is
probably
about
the
best
we
could
do.
J
Adam
mayor,
this
is
council
member
clegg
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Cody.
I
had
a
similar
question.
The
two-way
entrance
into
the
parking
garage
will
occur
about
where
the
green
line
is
on
the
bike
lane,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ensure
that
that
entrance
will
include
mirrors
for
the
cars
so
that
they
can
see
especially
to
the
north
down
the
bike
lane
and
ensure
that
they
can
see
a
bike
coming
as
they
exit.
K
K
Any
madam
mayor
councilmember
clay,
sorry
to
interrupt
there.
Yes,
the
the
project
will
still
be
required
to
go
through
design
reviews,
so
we
can
certainly
provide
them
with
that
with
that
direction
this
evening
and,
as
you
said,
let
the
applicant
kind
of
elaborate
on
their
plans.
There.
A
Well,
I
see
tom
tom,
are
you
speaking
tonight
alone
or
is
there
somebody
else
that
we
should
pull
up.
AC
A
AD
AD
Well,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
My
name
is
matthew
cameron
clark,
I
rent
my
home
at
406
west
sherman
street,
and
this
is
actually
my
first
housing
development,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
be
joining
you
tonight,
working
toward
providing
some
much
needed
housing
for
boise.
AD
We
believe
that
adding
to
the
inventory
of
available
units
in
the
right
locations
is
the
best
way
to
address
this
issue.
So
in
the
summer
of
2019,
we
began
looking
for
an
appropriate
site
to
build
some
beautiful
new
efficient
apartments,
with
walkability
affordability
and
livability
as
our
top
priorities.
AD
In
addition
to
our
firsthand
knowledge
of
the
neighborhood,
we've
used
blueprint,
boise
and
a
number
of
other
plans,
including
transit
and
bicycle
access,
as
reference
to
identify
what
we
believe
is
an
ideal
location
at
the
corner
of
16th
and
state.
It's
right
on
the
state
street
transit
corridor.
That's
been
discussed
tonight.
There
will,
by
the
way,
be
a
bicycle,
storage
and
repair
room
in
the
building,
groceries,
pharmacies,
cafes,
restaurants,
postal
services,
medical
services,
salons,
brew,
pubs
and
banks
aren't
just
in
the
neighborhood
they're
all
within
one
or
two
blocks
of
this
site.
AD
I
mean
it's
perfectly
centered
between
zhangju
and
fancy
freeze.
It's
a
really
good
spot,
so
it's
in
that
transition
zone
between
the
north
end
and
the
downtown
core
right
at
the
edge
of
the
downtown
mixed
use
area
as
designated
in
boise's
comprehensive
plan.
So
this
project
is
not
million
dollar
condos,
it's
workforce
housing.
AD
This
design
adds
much-needed
housing
density
while
stepping
down
the
height
and
massing
of
the
building
to
blend
in
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
including
the
five-story
apartment
building,
one
block
north
at
the
corner
of
16th
and
franklin,
but
we've
also
stayed
committed
to
the
open
livability
of
our
design,
including
high
ceilings
and
big
windows
that
make
a
real
difference
in
the
quality
of
life.
If
you've
ever
lived
in
a
studio
apartment
that
didn't
prioritize,
light
and
air,
you
know
what
I
mean
these
workforce
units
are
going
to
be
beautiful.
AD
So,
with
the
zoning
adjustment
we're
asking
for
tonight,
including
the
strict
limitations
outlined
in
our
development
agreement,
we
can
make
a
meaningful
contribution
to
boise's
housing
needs
in
a
location
with
all
the
necessary
services
accessible
on
foot.
To
give
you
a
better
idea
of
why
this
is
an
ideal
site
for
this
building.
I
want
to
introduce
our
architect
for
the
project
tom
sheldon
of
gglo.
AC
AC
Do
you
see
the.
AC
Oh
okay,
can
you
see
the
full
screen
or
the.
A
AC
AC
Yeah
so
hello,
madam
mayor
and
boise
city
council
members,
I'm
tom
sheldon,
I'm
a
principal
at
gglo,
1199,
shoreline,
drive
and
actually
we'll
be
moving
our
office
right
across
from
cw
moore
park,
and
hopefully
we
can
move
in
within
the
end
of
the
year
and
looking
forward
to
that,
especially
next
to
chip
cookies.
There.
AC
So
most
of
the
information
that
you
will
see
you
already
have
in
your
package,
so
I
thought
what
I
do
is
I
go
over
those
briefly,
but
I
also
want
to
kind
of
dig
into
our
thought
process
that
matthew
alluded
to
some
of
the
first
things
we
do
when
we
look
at
sites
is,
is
we
go
into
blueprint?
Boise?
That's
the
very
first
thing
we
do,
and
these
are
some
of
the
goals
that
we
found
in
blueprint
boise
that
we
would
like
to
achieve
and
solve
for
the
city
of
boise.
AC
We
do
know
that
any
time
you
do
a
zoning
rezone
that
it
has
to
benefit
the
city
first
and
foremost,
and
that's
why
we
we
we
go
into
blueprint
boise,
so
under
the
neighborhood
activity
center
number
one,
the
most
important
thing
is
that
they
want
to
meet
most
daily
needs
within
walking
distance
regarding
workforce
housing
within
mixed
use,
activity,
centers
and
other
areas
that
may
be
readily
available
served
by
transit,
and
that's
the
big
issue
here
regarding
zoning
updates.
AC
Remove
barriers,
particularly
in
the
downtown
mixed
use
zone
traffic,
is
always
a
big
deal
not
only
on
state
street
but
in
the
city,
and
our
goal
is
to
encourage
compact
developments
as
a
means
to
reducing
vehicle
trips
and
then
encourage
a
redevelopments
in
identified.
Brownfield
sites
for
housing,
incorporate
high
density
housing
in
existence
in
existing
or
planned
transit
access
areas
and
then
concentrate
your
highest
density
uses
within
a
quarter.
Mile
of
transit
stops
locate
high
density
residential,
particularly
areas
of
existing
and
planned
transit
services.
AC
Since
our
planning
and
zoning
meeting
the
north
end
neighborhood
plan
was
issued
january
26th
and
in
there
they
acknowledged
the
downtown
mixed
use
designation
and
they
said
that
marketplace
in
17th
and
state
which
is
across
the
street,
for
us
in
that
area
might
support
more
intense
development
that
is
currently
existing.
AC
They
also
listed
potential
activity,
centers
and
five
potential
activity
centers,
and
they
said
that
that
includes
the
center
at
s,
17th
and
state.
When
we
do
these
overlay
analysis.
AC
The
first
thing
we
do,
of
course,
is
we
go
into
blueprint
boise
and
we
try
to
analyze
the
site,
particularly
in
this
area,
but
first
of
all
the
boise
staff
report
and
I'll
read
this
is
read.
This
is
this
is
exactly
where
the
development
code
envisions
a
c5
zone
to
occur
with
a
development
agreement,
in
particular
the
subject.
AC
Where,
actually
within
a
five-minute,
walk
of
a
tod
station
is
actually
a
secondary,
tod
station
right
across
the
street,
and
then
we're
actually
listed
in
blueprint
boise
as
a
brownfield
site
for
development,
and
you
can
see
this
kind
of
oddly
shaped
area
which
is
considered
brownfield
sites
and
that's
on
page
283
and
then
we're
in
the
westside
urban
renewal
district.
AC
The
reason
the
staff
report
says
the
rezone
is
consistent
with
the
standards
of
approval.
It
is
precisely
the
location
close
to
downtown
or
additional
housing
should
be
accommodated
and
we'd
like
to
say
we're.
AC
We
are
providing
compact
development
of
means
of
reducing
traffic
and
vehicle
trips,
we're
providing
higher
density
housing
along
a
transit
corridor,
we're
providing
housing
affordable
for
people
working
in
downtown
we're
providing
housing
within
walking
distance
of
daily
services,
we're
providing
housing
where
employment
is
located
and
we're
providing
a
development
that
meets
many
of
blueprint,
boise's
goals.
I
A
question
about
the
brownfield
status
because
it's
been
a
gas
station
is
that
why
it's
brownfield
and
is
it
going
to
require
some
remediation
at
that
site?.
AC
Well,
brownfield
in
the
definition
of
blueprint,
boise
has
kind
of
a
broad
range
of
definition.
It's
it's
underutilized
sites
like
parking
lots,
gas
stations,
things
that
are
not
considered
urban,
but
also
brown.
The
site
is
we're
finding
out
a
brownfield
site
with
some
contaminated
soils,
which
would
require
us
to
clean
up
or
mediate
remediate
or
some
in
some
manner.
D
I
D
Thank
you,
mr
sheldon,
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
the
price
ranges
are
on
on
these
housing
units?
I
think
it's
exciting
that
we're
going
to
have
housing
within
walking
distance
to
so
many
amenities,
including
including
workplaces.
But
could
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
for
folks
who
are
considering
looking
for
housing.
AC
Maybe
I
can
do
is
describe
the
units
in
the
matthew.
Maybe
you
can
describe
actually
answer
the
question,
we're
we're
providing
efficiency
units
there,
but
they
are
tall.
So
there's
one
thing
about
a
studio
apartment,
but
if
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
light
and
air,
they
become
kind
of
dreary.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
taller
florida
floor
heights
with
lots
of
light
coming
in
floor-to-ceiling
lights,
with
little
balconies
because
of
their
little
smaller
they
they
fall
into
the
more
affordable
realm.
AD
Yeah,
well
it
I
mean
it's
an
evolving
thing
for
sure,
but
the
goal
and
sort
of
draft
pro
forma
for
this
is
in
that
sort
of
80
to
100
percent
ami
range.
You
know
the
thousand
dollar
to
1300
apartment
right
here
in
this
location,
so
we're
not
committed
to
those
numbers.
Yet
there
are
a
lot
of
variables
that
have
to
make
all
of
the
numbers
work.
AD
AD
Yeah
the
development
agreement
includes,
I
mean
the
big
picture
goal
is
to
provide
a
number
of
units
that
are
affordable
in
workforce
housing,
but
we
as
part
of
a
guarantee
toward
that
end.
There
are
units
in
there
that
are
not
just
going
to
be
in
that
price
range,
but
income
restricted
as
well.
J
Madam
mayor,
yes
go
ahead.
Thank
you
a
couple
of
questions.
So
as
I
look
at
the
staff
report
from
achd
it
projects
that
there
will
be,
it
looks
like
right
around
600
average
daily
trips
for
the
uses
that
you've
identified,
because
you
know
multi-family
and-
and
actually
in
your
case,
I
think,
with
the
smaller
units-
it'll
probably
be
a
little
bit
lower
than
that.
I
know.
We've
had
some
concern
about
traffic.
J
What
I
could
find
of
a
convenience
store
and
gas
station
with
the
four
pumps
that
this
one
has,
that
would
generate
probably
upwards
of
1500
trips
per
day.
I
wondered
if
you
had
done
that
similar
analysis.
I
couldn't
find
it
anywhere
in
the
staff
report,
but
I
think,
as
we
talk
about
traffic
with
these
kinds
of
developments,
we
need
to
get
a
little
more
sophisticated
about
what
we're
talking
about.
We've
got
a
use
there
today,
that's
already
generating
trips
and
the
use
you're
proposing
it
looks
like
to
me
will
generate
fewer
troops.
AD
AC
Yeah,
that's
an
excellent
question.
600
seems
a
lot
to
me,
given
that
we're
right
on
a
transit
line
and
we're
going
to
be
supporting
and
pushing
the
residents
to
use
transit,
we
are
in
a
parking
zone
that
I
think
it's
p3,
that
requires
0.7
stalls
per
unit,
so
we're
only
looking
at
maximum
of
70
stalls.
But
you
know
we
we're
also
looking
at
possibly
doing
less
if
the
city
would
allow
us
because
of
the
emphasis
on
transit
there
so
and
you're
and
you're
correct
we're.
AC
We
are
reducing
the
traffic
by
a
third,
and
one
thing
I
want
to
note
is:
we
did
talk
to
achd
about
the
right
in
and
write
out
on
state
street,
and
they
did
mention
that
there
may
be
only
a
left
in
left
out
on
16th
as
opposed
to
2a.
That's
something
they
want
to
reserve
and
of
course
we
have
to
follow
their
guidelines
and
that'll
certainly
help
with
the
bike
lane.
J
J
Thank
you
so
last
question.
J
I
know
that
you've
identified
the
five
units
for
affordability.
Are
you
going
to
accept
vouchers
on
the
rest
of
the
units,
or
at
least
a
certain
number
of
vouchers?
If
folks,
who
are
voucher,
holders
apply.
AD
J
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
into
them.
They
do
impose
a
bit
of
a
management.
J
Struggle
their
their,
you
know
compliance
issues,
but
once
you
learn
it
it's
it's
really
not
that
hard.
H
A
Go
ahead
and
see
if
there
we've
got
a
couple.
People
signed
up
to
testify.
First
off
is
the
north
end,
neighborhood
association
here,
nope,
okay,
rory
hester.
I
saw
you
pop
in
for
a
moment.
A
I
think
you're,
probably
still
on
the
line
and
folks
just
remember
you
don't
need
to
give
us
your
address
and
we're
going
to
collect
those.
The
clerk
is
collecting
those
as
you
register
for
the
zoom.
That
way,
you
don't
have
to
live
stream
where
you're,
where
you're
calling
from
go
ahead.
Rory.
L
Oh
okay,
hey
thank
you.
This
is
the
reason
I'm
here
tonight.
Okay,
so
I
got
something
great
now
good
evening.
I'm
rory
heston
from
boise
and
I'm
broadcasting
from
my
lovely
hotel
room
in
west
palm
beach
after
working
at
12
hour
shift
it's
late
here
and
it's
not
nearly
as
glamorous
as
it
seems.
First
my
background.
L
I
moved
to
collister
neighborhood
in
boise
almost
exactly
10
years
ago
after
retiring
from
the
air
force,
love
boise
greatest
city
in
the
united
states,
and
I
know
for
sure,
because
I
spend
220
days
a
year,
traveling
in
all
sorts
of
other
cities,
and
they
don't
compare.
Unfortunately,
so
many
people
agreed
with
me
that
you
know
we
got
more
people
moving
in
and
you
know
we
can't
keep
up
with
demand
for
housing,
and
this
is
probably
the
part.
L
I
should
tell
you
that
I
have
a
lot
of
kids
like
more
than
you
can
count
on
one
hand.
So
I
don't
want
to
get
into
details,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
kids
and
let's
just
say
that
last
year
I
was
pretty
relieved
when
our
when
all
of
our
kids
finally
got
out
of
the
house
and
we
were
empty
nesters
and
it
was
glorious.
L
You
know
we're
working
class
family,
my
wife
and
my
two
daughters
work
at
their
uncle's
restaurant
one
goes
to
cwi
to
study
mechatronics.
You
know
we
are
the
essence
of
boise's
workforce,
but
you
know
after
they
moved
out
leases,
especially
the
last
two
years
leases
started
going
up.
You
know:
a
thousand
dollar
apartments
became
1200
apartments.
1200
apartments
became
1400
apartments.
You
guys
all
know
the
numbers.
L
You
know
two
years
ago
my
daughters
could
afford
you
know
with
roommates
to
live
on
their
own,
but
it
finally
got
too
much
for
them
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
last
year
one
came
home,
then
another
come
home.
Then
another
came
home
and
now
all
of
a
sudden
I've
lost
my
three
item.
I've
got
three
adult
daughters
back
living
with
me.
I
love
them,
but
I
would
gladly
sacrifice
the
enormous
equity
I
have
in
my
house
to
get
rid
of
them
and
the
only
way
I'm
gonna
do.
L
But
in
order
to
do
that,
you
know
we
have
to
build
more
housing
and
this
project
is
exactly
the
type
of
housing
that
I
support.
It's
on
state
street,
it's
by
transportation,
it's
close
to
restaurants,
it's
close
to
downtown
close
to
jobs,
close
to
shops
and,
let's
be
honest,
it's
close
to
the
bars.
L
You
know
I
like
it
so
much,
I'm
sort
of
jealous
of
it,
because
I
wish
they'd
build
stuff
like
this
down
on
my
end
of
state
street
down
west,
which
will
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
in
the
months
to
come,
but
and
on
a
side
note
tom.
Once
you
have
built
this,
if
you
want,
I
can
point
you
to
some
parcels
further
west.
That
would
be
great
for
housing
developments.
L
So
finally,
I
just
want
to
urge
the
city
council,
the
mayor,
whoever
is
going
to
say
yes
to.
Please
approve
this
because,
quite
frankly,
I
need
my
freedom
back
and
my
kids
need
apartments
and
every
little
bit
helps.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Rory
thanks
so
much
for
sharing
a
very
personal
take
on
the
need
for
housing
that
we
have
right
now
in
our
community
and
good
to
see
you.
A
No,
no
you're
good.
All
right
next
up
is
darby
webb.
AE
Hello,
madam
mayor
and
boise
city
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment.
My
name
is
dr
darby.
Webb.
I've
lived
up
on
16th
street,
just
north
of
the
proposed
area
for
the
past
17
years.
My
husband
grew
up
in
the
north
end.
We
actually
own
a
couple
of
rental
homes,
next
door
to
us
and
across
the
street,
and
I
keep
those
rents
very
well
controlled
and
probably
less
than
most
of
the
surrounding
areas.
So
I'm
actually
talking
today
to
oppose
the
rezoning
of
this
parcel
of
land.
AE
I
have
no
argument
that
boise
does
need
more
affordable
housing.
That
is
absolutely
true,
but
I
feel
like
that.
This
large-scale
building
of
seven
stories,
a
hundred
multi-family
units
on
point
three
six
acres-
is
just
out
of
proportion
and
non-compatible
in
this
area,
especially
with
the
testimony
earlier
that
the
units
are
taller
than
normal
units.
This
is
actually
probably
larger
than
a
seven
story,
traditional
building
and
in
the
surrounding
several
blocks.
AE
There
are
no
units
of
this
magnitude
and
a
few
that
are
three
to
four,
and
I
think
that
one
is
five
stories,
so
I
I
feel
like
this
is
just
such
a
large-scale
building
and
it
will
take
away
from
the
neighborhood
feel,
because
this
is
the
entrance
to
the
historic
north
end
and
it
will
change
the
whole
dynamic
of
that
area.
AE
My
other
big
concern
is
the
traffic.
It
already
is
a
large
issue
on
state
street
on
16th
street,
the
one
way
going
south
and
also
up
on
15th
and
fort
and
16th
and
fort
and
resigue.
That's
a
large
traffic
area
and
achd
was
doing
studies
on
that
earlier
this
year.
I
feel
like
with
that
amount
of
100
units
with
probably
well.
We
heard
earlier
70
parking
spaces,
that's
going
to
increase
the
traffic
significantly
and
that's
concerning
as
a
resident
in
that
neighborhood.
AE
Maybe
talk
to
other
local
business
owners
residents,
the
north
neighborhood
association
further,
and
do
more
of
an
in-depth
study
and
see
what
our
options
are
once
this
is
rezoned,
there's
no
going
back
and
I
think
our
develop
needs
to
develop
needs
needs
to
be
thoughtful
and
responsible
in
our
future
for
the
city
of
boise.
Thank
you.
A
P
A
P
Dinner
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
again
nice
to
see
you
all
again.
My
name
is
ethan
schweitzer
gaslin
and
I
am
a
resident
of
the
north
end,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
earlier,
and
I
am
very
excited
about
this
project.
I'm
testifying
in
support
of
of
its
approval
and
as
a
resident
of
the
north
end.
This
makes
me
very
excited
just
you
know
that
there
will
potentially
be
more
restaurants
and
businesses
within
walking
and
biking
distance
of
where
I
live.
P
P
I
am
also
I'm
I'm
very
glad
that
matthew
mentioned
his
background
in
the
arts,
because
I
was
I
knew
I
recognized
his
name
from
somewhere,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
I
am
also
a
member
of
the
working
artist
community
here
in
boise,
so
I
am
certainly
well
aware
of
the
the
great
need
to
provide
housing
for
for
that
workforce.
P
That
is,
I
would
say,
one
of
the
the
most
concerning
issues
that
I
hear
when
I
talk
to
other
people
in
that
line
of
work
and
in
terms
of
attracting
talented
artists
and
keeping
talented
artists
in
our
community.
That's
a
a
very
important
thing.
P
With
that
in
mind,
I
personally
would
always
love
to
see
the
ami
targets
a
little
bit
lower.
You
know
I
can
say
that
personally,
80
to
100
of
ami
always
feels
like
far
and
away
far
beyond
what
I
can
ever
hope
to
make
in
this
line
of
work.
P
So
that's
something
that
I'm
always
going
to
be
wishing
that
there
were
a
little
bit
more
of,
but
I
I
do
certainly
appreciate
the
overall
contribution
that
this
makes
to
the
housing
stock
in
our
city
and,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
all
earlier
this
evening
in
terms
of
reducing
transportation
emissions.
I
think
this
is
an
important
project,
because
this
is
transportation.
Emissions
are
again
the
largest
source
of
carbon
emissions
in
our
community
and
as
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
reduce
them.
P
There
are
really
two
parts
of
reducing
transportation
emissions
which
are
providing
transportation
options,
as
we've
already
discussed
at
length
this
evening
and
then
also
providing
housing
in
close
proximity
to
services
and
recreation
opportunities
and
all
those
kinds
of
things,
and
I
with
that
being
said,
I
really
can't
imagine
a
better
site
that
is
more
centrally
located
in
relation
to
businesses
and
to
places
that
people
might
want
to
walk
and
bike
with.
P
That
being
said,
I
would
also
note
that
I
believe-
and
others
here
would
certainly
know
more
about
this
than
I
do-
that
I
think
valley
ride
had
been
studying
earlier
in
the
year,
had
been
doing
a
survey
about
rerouting
the
number
nine
bus
to
potentially
27th
street.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
the
results
of
that
survey
are
available,
but
I
certainly
think
that
would
be
something
to
consider.
B
O
T
T
I
am
here
to
speak
in
sorry,
my
internet's
coming
out
a
little
bit
I'll
try
to
just
keep
going.
My
name
is
jared
austin,
I'm
in
support
of
this
project.
It's
a
great
project.
I
think
it's
a
great
density
and
a
great
location,
with
great
connectivity
to
existing
investments
that
the
city
has
made
it.
It
really
does
sit
squarely
in
the
middle
of
an
area
that
has
places
to
places
to
eat,
places
to
shop
places
to
work,
and
it's
on
one
of
the
best
transit
lines
in
in
the
entire
state.
T
So
I
think
that
it
does
well
to
capitalize
on
on
this
nexus
of
advantage
that
it
has.
T
Its
density
really
does
capitalize
on
that.
Well,
I
think
this
is
also
an
important
project,
because
it
allows
more
people
to
live
in
an
area,
that's
historically
a
little
more
exclusive
and
a
little
more
expensive
than
the
rest
of
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
it
lets
them
also
engage
in
in
those
areas
of
the
city
that
maybe
that
they
historically
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
be
in.
So
I
think,
overall,
this
is
a
great
project
if
we
ever
want
to
live
up
to
the
ideals
of
having
walkable
transit-oriented
development.
R
R
R
R
R
Earlier
during
testimony,
it
was
mentioned
that
this
will
negatively
impact
the
dynamic
in
the
neighborhood
as
a
nearby
neighbor.
I
couldn't
disagree
more
regarding
the
change
in
zone.
I
believe
this
will
actually
strengthen
the
surrounding
pedestrian
commercial
zone.
The
goals
of
the
pedestrian
commercial
zone
are
likely
to
thrive
most
when
nearby
anchor
commercial
and
residential
density
exist.
R
AF
I
think
that
adding
more
homes
to
our
city
is
a
good
thing
and
want
to
meet
the
needs
of
people
that
want
to
be
our
neighbors
and
of
all
the
projects
I
testified
in
the
past
about
this
is
the
one
that
is
closest
to
perfect,
as
some
other
people
have
testified
tonight,
including
the
initial
presentation,
it's
in
just
all
the
overlays
kind
of
line
up
for
this
kind
of
development.
AF
A
C
AG
It
was
so
close,
we
didn't
want
to
miss
the
opportunity,
but
just
quickly
wanted
to
say
we
own.
AG
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we're
in
support
of
this
project
and
density
along
state
street
and
quality
design.
B
AG
AG
Sorry
about
that
sorry
about
that,
I
apologize
so
just
just
reiterating
the
the
density
along
state
street
and
quality
design.
I
know
the
city's
put
a
lot
of
energy
into
developing
the
state
street
corridor
and
and
all
of
the
energy
that
goes
into
that
so
just
wanted
to
speak
in
support
of
this
project
in
the
rezone
to
bring
some
density
to
the
near
north
end
near
downtown
transit
routes
and
things
like
that.
AG
We
own
property,
if
drew
said,
he's
within
a
thousand
feet.
I
think
we're
within
700
feet
of
this
project,
so
definitely
in
support
as
close
neighbors
and
in
support.
As
you
know,
advocates
of
density
for
downtown
likable,
walkable
walkable
places.
So
if
any
any
changes
have
to
happen
to
the
project,
I
would
say
any
reduction
in
parking,
because
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
opportunity
for
biking
and
walking
and
museums
get
to
work
and
play.
So.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Sorry
about
that
glitch.
AG
We
had
a
sushi
delivery
and
and
a
coughing
wife
all
at
the
same
time
as
she
ate
the
sushi
so
had
that
had
to
bail
out
on
the
on
the
echo
feedback.
So,
thanks
for
your
time,
cool
project
looking
forward
to
seeing
it
come
up.
A
Nobody
else,
so
it
is
now
up
to
the
applicant,
if
you'd
like
to
take
some
time
to
rebut
anything
or
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
say
in
closing
arguments.
AD
No,
I
don't
think
so
just
that.
Well,
I'm
very
happy
that
there
are
so
many
citizens
neighbors
that
are
in
support
of
the
idea.
The
things
brought
up
in
opposition
have
to
do
with
traffic
and
the
height.
We
really
do
think
we're
going
to
be
reducing
traffic
and
we've
worked
hard
to
balance
the
height
to
allow
the
density
that
we
want
and
the
quality
of
life
in
these
units,
but
sort
of
tapering
down
the
building,
so
that
we
really
do
think
it
fits
well
into
the
neighborhood.
AC
Yeah,
I
would
like
to
add
that
there
was
some
concern
about
the
existing
pc
zone.
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
folks
who
testified
said
that
this
is
a
is
a
excellent
addition
to
the
pc
zone.
If
we
left
the
current
zone,
the
way
it
is
that
the
maximum
density
you
could
get
there
is,
I
think,
15
units
and
given
the
land
prices
in
the
downtown
area,
it's
unlikely
that
site
will
get
developed
for
housing
because
of
the
the
lower
density
we.
AC
When
we
looked
at
our
sites
and
the
locations
we
we
purposefully
looked
for
sites
in
the
downtown
planning
area
in
the
downtown
mixture
zone
which
we're
granted
we're
on
the
order
of
it,
but
we're
actually
in
the
downtown
and
that's
a
big
difference
between
all
the
other
pc
zones.
So
I'd
like
to
stand
that
to
it.
Thank
you.
A
O
E
Matthew
great
to
see
you
tom,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
one.
I
appreciate
the
intent
you
know
for
the
project.
I
you
know
know
what
it's
like
to
have:
employees
that
are
looking
for
places
to
live,
and
I
want
them
to
be
able
to
walk
and
bike.
You
know
close
to
work,
and
I
remember
what
it
was
like
when
I
was
first
starting,
a
non-profit
and
being
able
to
live
close
to
downtown
is
the
reason
why
it
exists
where
it
is
so.
E
I
appreciate
that
a
lot
and
I
have
no
no
doubt
about
the
about
the
reduction
in
traffic.
I
think
council
president
clegg
brought
up
some
really
great
points
about
what
it
could
be
used
for
as
far
as
a
gas
station
or
something
else
that
was
quite
a
bit
busier
and
the
way
that
it's
set
up.
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
indication
that
it
could
be
a
lot
less
because,
hopefully
you
will
have
people
walking
and
biking
or
taking
public
transit
for
the
majority
of
their
trips.
E
It's
a
funky
sidewalk
and
it's
sight
there
and
the
the
sidewalk
is
really
really
old.
It's
cracked
and
it's
kind
of
wide,
I'm
curious
and
tom
or
matthew
if
you
in
your
conversations
with
achd,
if
they've
talked
at
all
about
when
development
happens,
the
sidewalk
getting
redone
and
if
there's
any
changes
with
the
street
with
or
the
configuration
because
of
that,
and
so
I
guess
I
just
have
a
couple
questions
on.
AC
Yeah,
that
was
actually
our
very
first
question.
We
asked
and
to
get
a
hold
of
achd
because
it
would
affect
our
site
since
it's
so
small
achd
says
they're
they're,
not
widening
state
street,
but
we
are
actually
improving
the
sidewalk
and
we're
actually
pushing
the
first
floor
back
to
make
the
sidewalk
larger
we're
also
doing
that
on
16th
street
we're
meeting
the
the
streetscape
standards
there,
which
include
street
trees
and
landscaping
and
a
white
sidewalk
and
we're
actually,
I
think,
we're
setting
back
there
too.
On
the
ground
floor.
E
Great,
and
did
you
know,
did
they
end
up
saying
anything
specifically
about
like
reconfiguration
that
would
have
to
take
place
in
the
street
and
the
bike
lane
and
the
turn
lane,
or
is
that
looking
the
same,
with
the
way
that
you've
got
the
exit
and
the
entrance
set
up
and
any
changes
to
the
sidewalk.
AC
Yeah
so
they
of
course,
they
can't
give
guarantees
until
they
actually
review
the
the
actual
application
officially.
But
they
did
say
preliminarily
that
that
that
our
curb
cuts
meet
the
requirements.
They
know
that
that
we
can
only
go
so
far
from
the
intersection.
AC
E
Yeah
great
thank
you
tom
and
then,
madam
mayor,
just
quick,
follow
up,
and
maybe
this
is
for
cody
or
a
message
that
could
be
relayed.
E
E
I
would
love
to
hear
from
achd
or
ryan
as
far
as,
if
there's
any
reconfiguration,
that
needs
to
happen
to
the
intersection
because
of
the
way
that
people
are
exiting
in
and
out
of
there.
I
don't
know
that
there
will
be,
but
I
do
think
that
the
sidewalk
is
not
a
normal
sidewalk
with,
and
there
are
some
kind
of
narrow
lane
things
going
on
there
with
the
bike
lane.
E
That's
probably
too
narrow,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
this
development
has
the
ability
to
since
they
are
trying
to
encourage
more
pedestrian
and
bicycle
use,
has
the
ability
to
improve
some
of
the
street
layout
with
with
that,
at
the
same
time,.
K
Madam
mayor
councilmember,
haley
burton
certainly
achd,
will
evaluate
this
in
much
greater
detail
when
we,
the
applicant,
still
needs
to
go
through
design
review
and
so
they'll
put
very
specific.
You
know
the
plans
included
in
the
development
agreement
are
quite
conceptual,
and
so
once
we
get
to
design
review,
we'll
have
exact
dimensions
and
we
have
streetscape
standards
for
down
there
as
well.
So
we'll
ensure
that
you
know
any
any
additional
right-of-way
that's
needed.
Sidewalk
improvements
all
occur
through
that
process.
AD
N
I
thought
you
were
just
not
used
to
me
making
a
motion
which
could
also
be
the
case.
Yes,
I
I
would.
I
would
like
to
tip
my
hat
to
tom
and
matthew
and
matthew
your
dog
in
the
back
as
well.
I,
this
is
an
extremely
impressive
work
that
you've
put
together
here
and
well,
there's
some
opposition
and
there
normally
is
and
that's
well
taken.
N
I
I'm
very
impressed
with
how
many
people
support
it
directly
surrounding
it,
and
it
certainly
is
much
needed
so
I'll
make
the
motion
that
we
approve
car
20-0019,
the
re-zone
of
0.36
acres
from
pcdd
to
5
c5dd-da
at
15.2,
west
state
street,
and
congratulations.
It's
great
work.
D
A
D
Mayor,
I'm
sorry,
mr
clark,
mr
sheldon.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
bringing
forward
this
this
project
and
I
would
just
want
to
encourage
you
in
deference
to
all
federal
and
state
and
local
housing
laws,
if
you
could
do
your
level
best
to
make
sure
to
build
those
relationships
with
folks
who
are
desperately
trying
to
find
housing
for
boiseans
and
for
people
who
live
in
the
area.
D
The
artists
who
testified
tonight
and
mr
clark,
I'm
sure,
you're
familiar
with
a
lot
of
those
folks
having
worked
in
the
arts
for
as
long
as
you
have
and
and
been
a
part
of
the
non-profit
world.
So
that's
just
a
personal
plea,
but
thank
you.
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
an
exciting
project
and
I
am
so
happy
for
all
the
people
who
get
to
live
in
such
a
beautiful
spot
in
our
city.
H
I
Can't
do
anything
with
the
pc
zone
unless
I
mention
that
it's
my
favorite
zone,
but
I
have
never
been
happier
to
rezone
something
from
the
pc
zone
to
something
else.
I
think
this
is
just
a
great
spot
for
this.
Really
nice
really
dense
development.
That's
going
to
give
a
whole
lot
of
people
places
to
live
near
where
they
work
near
where
they
can
walk
to
the
grocery
store,
where
they
can
walk
next
door
and
get
medical
care.
I
It's
just
it's
very
thoughtful
and
I
really
appreciate
folks
being
thoughtful
about
our
built
environment
in
our
city
and
putting
our
land
to
really
great
use.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this.
J
Adam
mayor
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
I
will
also
be
supporting
this
project.
I
am
excited
to
see
this
kind
of
housing
brought
to
this
location.
Jared
mentioned
that
historically,
people
of
little
means
could
not
live
in
this
neighborhood
and
I'll
object
to
that.
J
Because,
40
years
ago,
when
we
bought
our
house,
we
were
people
of
little
means
and
we
could
afford
to
live
here,
but
the
neighborhood
has
certainly
changed
in
those
40
years
and
frankly,
I
couldn't
afford
to
buy
a
house
there
today
only
do
live
there
because
we
bought
it
so
long
ago,
over
the
years,
I've
seen
the
neighborhood
change
and
seeing
a
lot
of
the
folks
who
I
really
valued
as
neighborhoods,
have
as
neighbors
in
that
neighborhood
have
to
leave
because
of
the
price,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
project
recently
purchased
a
book
that
brought
out
some
really
interesting.
J
Statistics
and
1900
americans
lived
on
average
per
person
in
60
square
feet.
Today,
the
average
per
person
is
300
square
feet.
J
The
north
end
neighborhood
has
declined
in
population
in
the
last
15
years
by
a
little
over
2
000
residents.
That
decline
is
happening
because
people
are
living,
bigger,
they're
living
in
more
space.
If
we're
going
to
keep
the
neighborhood
vibrant
any
neighborhood
in
the
city,
vibrant
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
to
get
more
units
into
the
neighborhoods.
Because
of
that
change,
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
project.
That's
going
to
do
that
very
well.
I
already
mentioned
the
traffic
I
bring
that
up.
J
J
I
would
suspect
that
tom's
right
that
the
projections
here
are
high,
given
the
location
given
the
access
to
transit,
giving
the
walkability
and
bike
ability
of
this
neighborhood,
I
suspect
the
actual
traffic
counts
will
be
much
lower
than
projected
and
and
certainly
lower
than
what
they
are
today.
Given
the
use.
That's
there
today,
so
for
all
those
reasons-
and
oh
I,
finally,
I
should
say
I'm
also
a
fan
of
pc
zone.
It's
not
the
appropriate
zone
of
this
corner
anymore,
although
it's
a
lot
better
zone
than
the
c12
that
was
there
a
few
years
ago.
J
It's
not
the
appropriate
zone
for
this
corner
anymore
and
rezoning
it,
especially
with
the
d.a
to
limit
the
height,
ultimately
limit
the
height,
no
matter.
What
is
here,
I
think,
is
very
appropriate,
so
I
will
be
supporting.
E
I'll
certainly
be
supporting
this,
you
know
without
a
doubt,
I
there
were
three
really.
I
think
great
things
about
this
about
this,
the
subject
that
came
before
us
one,
I
think
rory
turned
out
to
be
our
new
spokesperson
for
our
grower
housing
program.
That
was
incredible,
and
so
I
was
glad
that
he
could.
He
could
share
that
that
very
unique
insight.
Two.
E
In
that
you
know,
we
really
had
somebody
who
designed
a
very
well
thought
out
in
both
form
and
function
development-
and
you
know,
I
think
part
of
that
comes
from
you-
know
the
mind
of
an
artist
and
an
architect
who
were
able
to
put
something
together
that
really
served
the
needs
of
boise
and
folks
who
were
really
in
touch
with
boise
from
the
very
beginning
of
the
process
of
what
they
were
trying
to
create
in
a
community
community
that
they
were
trying
to
give
back
to.
E
A
Great
thanks,
I
gotta
say
councilman
halliburton.
I
agree
with
you
on
rory,
but
think
that
he
had
a
he
and
his
wife
had
to
leave
his
adult
children
back
at
home
and
move
themselves
on
down
to
one
of
these
places.
Since
they've
opened
their
home
again
to
their
kids.
I
really
enjoy
that
empty
nest
that
won't
have
any
room
for
anybody
else.
M
M
That
does
remind
me
of
one
thing
that
really
struck
me
about
mr
hester's.
Testimony
in
particular
is
that
so
often
we
hear
from
the
current
users
of
the
property
or
the
the
land
use
area
that
we're
looking
at
and
there's
you
know
because
of
the
way
that
metaphysics
and
the
universe
works.
Of
course
you
can't
hear
from
the
future,
but
mr
hester's
testimony
was
about
as
close
as
we
get
he's
got
six
young
people
who
are
coming
back
into
the
family
home
because
they
don't
have
options
here
for
housing.
M
These
are
the
people
who
will
be
using
our
city
in
the
future,
and
so
I
really
appreciated
the
perspective
that
he
was
able
to
offer
in
particular,
because
that's
it's
such
a
difficult
and
such
an
important
voice
such
a
difficult
voice
to
capture
in
these
hearings.
So
I
really
appreciated
that.
I'm
not
going
to
ask
him
or
expect
him
to
come
testify
at
everyone,
while
he's
traveling
around
the
country
trying
to
support
his
family,
but
I
really
valued
his
input
tonight.
D
Madame
just
a
question
because
I'm
learning
by
doing
as
we
all
are
so
do
we
need
to
say
anything
in
particular,
or
maybe
I'm
saying
it
right
now
about
asking
that
design
review.
Consider
the
mirrors
at
the
exit
that
I
can't
remember.
If
it
was
council
president
clegg
brought
up
and
the
street
and
sidewalk
improvements
that
council
member
holly
barton
brought
up
as
well.
A
Yes,
it's
actually
entirely
appropriate
in
your
own
comments,
so
that
it's
reflected
in
the
record
that
we'd
like
attention
given
to
that.
Among
other
items
that
they'd
reveal
thank
you
great
and
with
that
the
clerk
can
go
ahead
and
call
the
role.
A
Excellent,
well
thanks
good
great
to
see
you
too
tonight
and
look
forward.
Thank.
A
Much
bye,
we
have
one
more
item
behind
before
us
and
thanks
everybody
that
joined
and
for
many
of
you
that
kept
us
on
background
noise
all
evening
for
that
topic.
It
was
nice
to
to
hear
from
you
tonight.
Next
up
we
have
car
20-20
at
10
1.
I
don't
know
how
to
say
this
number
at
this
point:
10
881,
west
florence
drive,
we've
got
cody
again
welcome
back
cody
for
staff.
Stephanie
hopkins
of
km
engineering
is
the
applicant.
A
I
don't
have
a
neighborhood
association
or
anybody
from
the
public
signed
up
in
advance
to
testify.
So
just
raise
your
hand
if
you're
here
for
this
and
go
ahead,
cody.
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
This
is
a
request.
This
item
is
a
request
to
modify
a
development
agreement
associated
with
property
at
10881
west
florence
drive,
if
you're
unfamiliar
with
the
area.
It's
just
southwest
of
the
five
mile
and
fairview
avenue
intersection
in
west
boise,
the
roughly
three
acre
site
is
zoned
r2
or
medium
density
residential.
K
The
applicant
is
actually
not
proposing
to
change
that.
The
r2
zone
does
allow
up
to
14
and
a
half
units
per
acre.
However,
when
the
site
was
initially
rezoned,
there
was
a
development
agreement
placed
on
the
property
that
limited
the
project
at
that
time
to
10
units
an
acre.
The
applicant
is
now
proposing
to
remove
or
reduce
that
cap
and
reference
a
different
concept
plan
in
the
development
agreement,
as
indicated
in
your
packet
staff,
and
the
planning
commission
felt
that
additional
density
in
this
location
is
consistent
with
the
compact
land
use
designation.
K
K
I
would
note
that
a
condition
of
approval
did
require
an
additional
pedestrian
pathway
generally
aligned
with
the
florence
drive
alignment
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
site,
the
original
project
again
included
28
units
and
eight
multi-family
buildings.
The
new
proposal
now
has
40
units
in
seven
multi-family
buildings.
This
results
in
a
density
of
13.6
units,
an
acre
which
is
still
under
the
14
and
a
half
allowed
in
the
underlying
zone.
K
I
would
note
also
note
that,
in
addition
to
the
playground
equipment
originally
proposed,
the
project
now
includes
at
a
community
center
that
was
not
included
before
there
was
some
concern
expressed
at
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
primarily
related
to
traffic
and
parking
as
it
relates
to
traffic.
The
ada
county
highway
district
did
approve
the
application
we
acknowledge.
We
will
see
an
increase
in
traffic
on
both
florence
and
irving.
However,
both
will
still
operate
below
an
acceptable
threshold,
as
it
relates
to
parking
all
required
bicycle
park.
K
Bicycle
parking
and
automobile
spaces
will
be
provided,
and
then
I
would
note
that
the
project
meets
or
exceeds
all
dimensional
standards
and
required
no
variances
with
that.
I
believe
it
wraps
up
my
comments.
We
remain
unaware
of
any
opposition
to
the
proposal
from
public
agencies
serving
the
site.
The
project
will
add
homes
in
an
appropriate
location,
consistent
with
the
vision
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
so
with
that
we
are
recommending
approval
of
the
modification
to
the
development
agreement
this
evening.
Thank
you.
J
Mayor
go
ahead
couple
of
questions
so,
first
of
all,
cody
I'm
unclear
which
of
these
units
will
end
up
being
the
ones
that
are
that
have
the
affordability
on
them.
K
J
Okay,
second
question:
there
appears
to
be
two
mature
trees
on
the
western
portion
of
the
property,
one
right
at
the
corner
of
florence
and
one
sort
of
midway
where
the
two
units
there
are
on
the
east.
I
was
unclear
if
the,
if
either
of
those
were
going
to
be
retained
or
if
there's
been
any
arbors,
take
a
look
at
them
to
see
what
kind
of
health
they're
in.
K
Madam
mayor
count
councilmember
clay
this
at
this
stage
with
just
the
modification
of
the
development
agreement.
We
haven't
gotten
into
that
level
of
detail.
They
do
still
have
to
go
through
design
review.
They
may
have
expanded
on
their
plans
a
little
bit
since
these
were
submitted
and
could
could
address
that,
but
certainly
through
a
design
review
we'll
make
every
attempt
to
you
know,
save
the
trees
that
can
be
saved
or
mitigate
for
those
that
do
have
to
be
removed.
J
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
finally,
the
as
it
was
approved
at
the
planning
and
zoning
commission.
It
continued
to
show
the
walkway
on
the
north,
and
I
don't
see
that
in
on
these
plans,.
K
B
O
AH
Yes,
we
can
see
it:
okay,
wonderful,
stephanie,
hopkins
of
km
engineering
cody
did
a
a
wonderful
job
and
thoroughly
explained
our
our
request
this
evening.
So
I'll.
W
AH
Limit
the
amount
of
repetition
in
my
presentation
and
keep
it
kind
of
quick,
but
this
is
I'm
here
representing
our
our
client
and
the
developer
and
owner
of
this
property
to
develop
the
celebration.
Acres,
multi-family
housing
development,
which,
as
a
councilwoman
clay
mentioned,
is
an
affordable
housing
project.
So
I'll
get
to
some
detail
there,
and
then
we
do
have
members
of
the
development
team.
AH
On
the
on
the
phone
too,
I
think
they're
virtual,
that
can
speak
to
some
of
the
details
that
I'm
not
as
familiar
with
so
as
cody
mentioned,
we're
requesting
a
rezone
which
is
really
going
to
be
more
of
a
vehicle
to
modify
an
existing
development
agreement
on
the
property
to
remove
a
density
cap
of
10,
drawing
units
an
acre
and
to
update
a
conceptual
development
plan,
that's
associated
with
that
development
agreement.
AH
That's
the
project
site,
we're
adjacent
to
some
single-family
residential
we've
got
the
a
multi-family
residential
to
the
north
and
then
commercial
to
the
north
as
well,
and
then
the
medium
density
residential
to
the
west.
So
we're
pretty
consistent
with
the
area
already
and
as
mentioned,
we're
not
requesting
debris
zone
we're
just
requesting
to
modify
the
existing
development
agreement.
AH
Which
showed
the
property
at
the
time
2007
and
the
development
that
was
present
at
that
point?
The
area
has
grown
quite
a
bit
since
then.
This
graphic
isn't
great,
but
you
can
see
that
there
is
some
multi-family
that's
been
developed
to
the
west
and
to
the
east,
and
it's
in
commercial
properties.
A
AH
AH
Okay,
hopefully
that
works
better.
So,
as
I
was
saying,
the
properties
or
the
area
has
changed
significantly,
since
the
original
development
agreement
was
approved
at
the
time
as
cody
mentioned,
they
they'd
put
the
cap
at
10,
going
in
it's
an
acre
to
be
more
consistent
with
property
that
was
located
to
the
east.
AH
So
this
is
the
comprehensive
plan,
as
you
can
see,
we're
kind
of
centrally
located
within
the
compact
future
land
use
map
which
allows
for
up
to
15
units
an
acre,
and
we
will
be
below
that
with
13.5
units
an
acre.
AH
So
this
is
the
the
original
concept
plan
that
cody
had
shown.
As
you
can
see,
the
site
plan
was
different.
We
had
four
plex
units
on
the
north
and
then
three
plex
units
on
the
south
and
then
a
central
drive
aisle
that
kind
of
cut
through
the
site
and
connected
florence
with
urban
court
on
the
west
part
of
the
site.
We're
now
proposing
to
to
include
one
public
road
on
the
west,
which
will
be
bonanza
and
connect.
Florence
drive
to
irving
and
then
a
private
story.
AH
We've
updated
this
to
include
seven
residential
buildings
and
then
the
community
center
that
we've
added.
So
we
were
able
to
increase
the
number
of
units
that
we're
proposing
to
provide,
while
also
including
amenities
that
weren't
previously
included
with
the
last
site
plan
and,
in
addition,
we'll
be
blog
more
residential
units
for
folks
that
need
housing
in
the
area.
AH
We're
providing
62
parking
spaces
so
we'll
have
a
few
more
than
that
are
required
to
make
sure
that
guests
are
accommodated
and
there's
enough
parking
on
site,
and
then
we
are
providing
the
clubhouse
and
some
open
spaces
kind
of
throughout
to
make
sure
folks
have
places
to
recreate
and
enjoy
the
area
so
on
the
affordable
housing
component,
we're
proposing
93
of
the
units
will
be
reserved
for
eligible
low
income
or
very
low
income.
Households
we'll
also
be
including
services
to
all
residents.
AH
As
a
requirement
of
the
tax
credit
program,
we
do
have
different
of
those
services
that
are
going
to
be
provided.
There's
behavioral
health
services,
which
includes
substance,
abuse,
counseling
and
things
of
that
nature,
adult
education,
classes,
renter,
education
classes,
utility
assistance,
transportation,
job
training
and
then
supported
services
for
veterans
families,
so
we're
also.
We
have
our
two
clients
are
partnering
together
to
develop
this
site,
so
el
ada
incorporated
is
a
community
partner
within
the
georgia
valley.
AH
That's
been
in
operation
for
quite
some
time
and
they've
got
quite
a
few
connections
within
the
community
and
they
will
be
working
with
ga
han
who's,
also
going
to
be
developing
this
site
and
they've
got
a
significant
amount
of
experience
with
affordable
housing,
specifically
so
they'll
be
partnering
partnering,
together
to
work
with
the
ada
county
homeless
coalition
in
the
local
department
of
veterans
affairs
to
make
sure
that
we
have
permanent
housing
for
certain
components
of
the
population
that
need
assistance
there.
AH
They
do
have
an
mou
in
place
with
the
chair,
charitable
assistance
to
community
homeless,
incorporation
or
catch
as
well.
So
I
think
jay,
francis
with
the
development
team,
is
on
the
phone
too,
and
so
he
can
pipe
in.
If
he's
got
anything
to
add,
there
he's
pretty
well
versed
in
that
respect,
so
the
landscape
plan
is
shown
here.
AH
Far
as
tree
mitigation,
I
believe
that
there
are
a
couple
trees
on
the
east
part
of
the
site
that
are
not
they're,
they're
trees
that
are
invasive,
I
think,
they're,
a
type
of
elm.
AH
So
this
is
the
proposed
phasing
plan
that
we've
shown
as
part
of
our
application.
We
are,
as
part
of
the
pud
we've
requested,
that
we
phase
the
project
into
two
phases
to
include
the
five
residential
buildings
within
phase
one,
as
well
as
the
community
center,
and
then
two
additional
buildings
and
phase
two,
and
these
will
just
be
constructed
in
phases
primarily
to
make
sure
funding
and
some
of
the
other
components
of
the
affordable
housing
kind
of
come
into
place.
AH
The
way
they're
supposed
to,
but
really,
I
think,
the
intent
of
the
developer
is
to
develop
all
this
as
quickly
as
they
can
to
make
sure
that
they
have
housing
stuck.
So
these
are
the
residential
building
elevations
that
you
saw
we're
proposing.
AH
Materials
such
as
board
and
baton,
shake
siding,
stone,
veneer
and
various
color
schemes.
Most
of
the
six
of
the
buildings
are
three-story,
and
then
we've
got
the
two
two-story
four-plex
building
and
the
community
center
is
located
there
sprint
central
for
everyone
to
be
able
to
access
easily
and
the
materials
and
building
elevations.
There
are
meant
to
complement
the
buildings
themselves
to
kind
of
make
a
cohesive
product.
AH
So
overall,
we
really
believe
that
this
development
is
consistent
with
the
vision,
the
comprehensive
plan
in
providing
additional
residential
opportunities
in
this
area,
refill
area,
that's
close
to
transportation,
existing
services,
employment
opportunities
and
a
well-established
neighborhood.
AH
At
this
point,
so
we're
complying
with
the
dimensional
standards
of
the
r2
district
and
believe
that
this
density
is
going
to
be
appropriate
and
we're
really
asking
for
something:
that's
in
compliance
with
r2
in
general,
we're
in
agreement
with
the
staff
report
and
recommended
conditions
of
approval
and
appreciate
all
staff's
coordination
and
assistance,
and
getting
all
of
this
kind
of
put
together
and
understanding
the
steps
throughout
the
process.
So
with
that,
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Thanks,
stephanie.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
stephanie
there
there
are
folks
in
our
community
when,
when
they
hear
words
like
affordable
housing
or
low-income
housing,
they
don't
really
know
what
that
means.
So,
can
you
tell
us
what
what
the
price
range
for
the
that
that
you're
working
with
here
in
these
units.
AH
Okay,
I
might
have
jay
talk
on
this
point,
just
because
he's
super
familiar
with
it,
so
I
think
he
may
be
available.
AI
Thank
you,
esteemed
council
members.
Madam
mayor,
we
are
targeting
very
low
income
here
on
both
projects.
What
we're
looking
at
on
the
east
side
of
the
bonanza
there
is
targeting
30
or
below.
AI
A
I
think
we
got
your
answer
justin,
but.
A
J
You
justin
thanks
for
being
here,
and
I
really
appreciate
what
you
guys
are
trying
to
do
with
this
project.
My
question
about
the
the
two
units
that
are
targeted
for
30
ami,
so
they
are
the
two
units
on
the
east.
J
And
and
here's
my
question
is
this:
the
two
units
on
the
east
are
the
only
two
that
are
directly
adjacent
to
single
family.
A
Okay,
yeah
being
on
the
zoom,
is
helpful
so
that
so
that
we
it
just
you
know
it's
it's
like
long
time
ago
when,
when
face
timing,
was
it
just
didn't
work?
So
so,
yes,
you
can
be
on
so
we
can
talk
in
real
time
and
not
have
a
second
guessing
each
other
that'd
be
great.
A
AI
What
we're
proposing
is
on
the
east
side,
which
is
composes
28
units
25
of
those
units
are
going
to
be
affordable,
targeting
targeting
30
to
60
ami
and
on
the
west
side
we
have
11
of
the
12
units
at
30
percent
of
ami
to
60,
and
so
we
didn't
pick
either
side.
The
whole
particular
project
is
is
a
mixed
use,
with
only
four
overall
units
of
the
40
units
being
market
rate
units,
as
stephanie
alluded
to
earlier
93
being
affordable.
AI
J
A
Units
at
thirty
percent
of
ami
all
right
any
other
questions.
A
No,
we
still
have
the
public.
We
haven't
hit
the
public
hearing
testimony.
Yet.
Does
anybody
sign
up
to
say?
Oh,
madam
mayor,
all
right,
nobody
signed
up
to
testify
and
if
there
are
no
further
questions
I'll
give
stephanie
and
justin,
I
think
you're
both
working
together
as
applicants.
The
opportunity
for
any
final
comments.
AH
I
think
in
closing
I,
if
you're
we're,
excited
for
this
project
and
it's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
it'll-
be
a
really
great
asset
to
west
boise
and
we'll
provide
a
lot
of
housing
opportunities
for
folks
that
don't
have
that
opportunity
right
now.
So
we're
excited
to
keep
working
with
the
city
on
this
and
and
look
forward
to
your
hopefully
approval
on.
A
D
Madam
mayor,
I'm
I
move
that
we
approve
the
modification
to
a
development
agreement
on
2.95
acres
and
an
r-2-d
d-a,
medium
density,
residential
within
design,
review
and
development
agreement
zone
for
car
20-000
located
at
10881
west
florence
drive
second.
D
Madam
mayor,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
stephanie
justin.
This
was
very
exciting
to
hear
that
this
kind
of
development
is
going
to
be
brought
to
our
city.
D
A
E
Stephanie
justin,
this
obviously
took
a
whole
lot
of
collaboration
and
moving
pieces
with
different
organizations
and
sectors,
and
you
know
across
the
board-
and
I
know
that
that's
not
easy
to
navigate.
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
for
putting
this
forward
and
putting
all
the
work
into
something
that
our
city
desperately
needs.
So
thank
you
for
the
hard
work.
J
Madam
mayor,
thank
you
I'll,
be
supporting
this
application.
It's
really
good
to
see
this
come
forward,
I'm
happy
to
see
more
units.
It's
an
interesting
area.
We
had
another
application
just
a
few
weeks
ago
from
leap
charities
very
near
here,
and
it's
apparent
to
me
that
as
a
city
there's
some
things
that
we
should
be
looking
at
to
invest
in
this
particular
neighborhood
got
a
lot
of
residents
out
here.
J
Now
they
don't
really
have
access
to
a
park,
there's
maybe
the
potential
for
that
with
the
further
south
from
the
project
we
saw
a
few
weeks
ago.
It
also
looks
like
there's
potential
for
one
of
our
canal
pathways
that
we've
been
looking
at
so
in
addition
to
supporting
this,
just
know
that
I'll
be
looking
for
those
other
opportunities
where
the
city
can
invest
in
in
making
sure
that
the
residents
you
bring
out
here
have
opportunities
for
recreation
and
and
getting
places
as
well.
A
Hey
thanks:
well,
I
won't
be
voting
tonight.
It
appears,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
also
for
bringing
this
forward
with
the
additional
units.
You
know.
Tonight's
public
hearings
were
interesting.
We
see
this
which
will
bring
us
40,
affordable
units.
You
know
the
at
the
price
point
for
people
that
really
really
need
support
that
thirty
percent
ama
and
ami
and
blow
and
then
the
piece
beforehand.
Another
proposal
that'll
bring
more
homes
closer
to
town,
but
also
provide
workforce
housing.
A
That's
that's
so
desperately
needed
in
this
community
and
it's
partners,
like
you
at
celebration,
acres
and
others
that'll
in
partnership
with
the
city,
make
this
possible
for
us
to
meet
our
goals,
and
so
just
really
appreciate
you
bringing
this
forward
tonight.
E
A
Thank
you
all,
and
thanks
for
everybody,
showed
up
for
this
application
this
evening.
I
guess
it
was
the
applicant
there's
nothing
else
to
come
before
the
council,
so
we
can
take
a
motion
to
adjourn.
