From YouTube: Boise City Council - Zoning Code Meeting
Description
Day 2 of 4
B
B
B
So
we
did
not
adjourn
the
meeting
last
night,
because
I
saw
this
as
a
continuation
hearing,
but
we
will
be
taking
roll
call
and
if
we
need
to
adjourn
this
evening,
just
let
me
know
so
I
don't
do
that
again.
Before
we
start
I
would
just
want
to
say.
Welcome
to
everybody,
it's
great
to
see
lots
of
you
here
today.
We've
got
a
couple
items
that
are
regular
City
business
because.
C
D
Thank
you,
and
next
up,
we've
got
minutes
from
June
6
for
approval,
metamere,
a
move
that
we
approve
the
city
council
minutes
from
the
work
session
and
regular
evening
meeting
of
June
6
2023.
Second,
we
have
a
motion,
a
second
clerk.
Will
you
call
the
roll
Hallie
Burton?
Yes,
any
Keith?
Yes,
Nash!
Yes,
will
it?
Yes,
puttings,
yes
agent?
Yes,
all
in
favor
motion
carries
so
next
we
have
the
consent
agenda.
D
Typically,
I
have
a
script
on
this
agenda,
so
I'm
going
to
wing
it
all
items
on
the
consent.
Agenda
are
considered
to
be
routine
and
will
be
considered
in
one
motion
unless
otherwise
requested
by
a
citizen
or
council
member
well
done.
Man
I
think
that's
good
enough.
All
right
I
move
approval
of
the
consent
agenda
as
presented.
Second,
we
have
a
motion,
a
second
any
discussion.
Metamere.
D
Yes,
I
would
just
like
to
note
that
we
in
the
consent
agenda
today
have
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
minutes
fortuitously
when
they
heard
the
zoning
code
that
we
are
also
reviewing
today.
So
I
just
thought
that
that
was
interesting
to
note
and
with
that
clerk
will
you
please
call
the
roll
Ally
Brewton?
Yes,
any
key?
Yes,
Dash,
yes,
Willits,
yes,
weddings,
yes
agent!
Yes,
all
in
favor
motion
carries
and
now
we'll
move
into
ordinances.
D
D
New
section
4
defining
the
role
of
the
arts
and
history
Department
in
facilitating
the
percent
for
art
program,
new
Section
5,
outlining
permissible
uses
of
percent
for
art
funds
to
include
acquisition
and
exhibition
of
cultural
assets,
as
well
as
costs
associated
with
management
planning
and
education.
New.
H
This
is
the
product
and
I
said
last
night,
but
I'll
say
again
thanks
to
our
staff
team,
to
the
committee
that
spent
a
couple
years
working
on
this
and
moving
around
the
city
and
hearing
from
residents
and
to
everybody
that
participated
and
throughout
the
process-
and
this
is,
you
know,
really
covers
a
topic
that
all
of
us
care
deeply
about,
and
that
is
the
the
home
that
we
live
in
and
the
community
that
we
treasure
and
the
neighborhoods
that
are
really
important
to
us.
And
so
I.
C
G
So
and
if
you're
online-
and
you
have
similar
issues
like
if
you
happen
to
be
at
work
and
you're
trying
to
sneak
this
in,
let
us
know
and
we'll
take
those
too
and
then
I'll
start
going
through
the
list.
So
sir,
please
come
on
up.
You
were
first
in
the
blue
shirt
and
then
ma'am
in
the
back
you're
next
and
then
I'll
go
back
to
the
list
unless
there's
some
need
to
advance
hands
raised
on
Zoom.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Jeff
mafuccio
with
Idaho
Power.
G
That
would
restrict
our
ability
to
serve
in
other
zones
where
additional
substation
facilities
or
existing
facilities
may
need
to
be
rebuilt
or
built
to
meet
electrical
service,
especially
as
we
have
a
growing
demand
through
increased
density,
electrification
and
EV
charging.
So
the
electrical
substation
just
very
broad
overview
is
critical
component
of
the
grid.
We
have
electric
transmission
lines
that
come
in
higher
voltage.
The
electricity
is
kind
of
broken
out
and
brought
out
onto
distribution
lines
to
neighbors
neighborhoods
businesses.
You
know
Etc
and
So
within
the
city
limits
we
own
17
substations.
G
Many
of
those
are
located
in
residential
and
Commercial
districts
best
serving
those
customers
locally.
Several
of
them
are
aging
and
will
require
upgrades.
We
we
do
build
new
ones.
On
occasion,
we're
currently
working
through
a
new
station
with
with
micron's
expansion,
for
example.
So
there
are
those
cases
where
we
need
to
meet
new
load
and
a
substation
is
the
best
way
to
to
meet
their
needs.
G
C
C
J
In
return,
we
would
appreciate
if,
if
in
the
rewrite
that
the
zones
allowed,
these
major
utility
facilities,
at
least
in
Idaho
Powers
case,
to
be
conditionally,
allowed
I
think
through
the
importance
of
land,
use,
planning
public
involvement
you're
at
times.
So
what
I?
We
do!
Have
your
comments,
I
appreciate
them
they're
in
the
record
and
will
likely
ask
staff
for
some
feedback
or
reaction
to
that
as
we
move
into
deliberation.
Thank
you
very
much
question
just
to
clarify
you're
asking
for
all
zones
or
their
conditional
use
in
all
zones.
J
Yes,
sir,
okay,
perfect
thank
you
all
right,
yeah
come
on
up
and
then
I'd
ask
that
Diana
laciando
and
then
Monica
Fabi
baby
be
geared
next
in
queue,
so
just
be
ready
to
we'll
use
this
front
row
kind
of
to
cue
Folks
up.
Thank
you.
I've
got
to
go,
get
a
kiddo
from
Camp
here
pretty
soon
Holly
Conde
I
am
on
ABS
Lane
off
of
Vista
83705.
J
I
want
to
start
by
commending
City
staff
on
their
efforts
in
this
process,
and
so
it
was
very
refreshing
to
see
the
amount
of
Outreach
that
was
done
to
folks
of
all
different
incomes.
Different
neighborhoods
renters
owners-
that's
not
always
the
case
around
the
country,
and
so
City
staff
has
done
an
excellent
job
and
I
just
really
appreciate
that
that
effort.
J
One
thing
that
needs
to
be
stated
loud
and
clear
for
everyone
is
that
our
City
Zoning
code
was
created
in
the
60s.
It
is
absolutely
time
for
an
update.
This
has
to
happen.
We
all
know
that
Boise
consistently
tops
lists
of
fastest
growing
city
best
place
to
live
in
the
country,
and
that's
something
that
we
can
be
proud
of,
but
it's
something
that
we
need
to
take
into
consideration
and
bring
us
into
this
modern,
modern
zoning
code.
J
Without
a
modern
plan
for
growth,
we
we
risk
turning
into
one
of
the
examples
of
what
not
to
do.
I
want
to
touch
on
just
a
few
aspects
of
the
zoning
code
that
I
really
appreciate
reduced
parking
requirements.
So
we
all
know
that
cars
take
up
a
lot
of
space.
It's
a
lot
of
space
and
that
adds
to
the
cost
of
development,
and
the
requirement
is
what
adds
the
cost
and
not.
Everyone
requires
a
vehicle
or
most
multiple
Vehicles.
We
should
be
planning
around
people,
not
around
cars,
open
space
protections.
J
When
we
look
at
Land
open
space
undeveloped
space,
some
parcels
hold
a
higher
conservation
value
than
others.
An
empty
dirt
lot
should
be
developed.
We
should
be
building
it
up,
not
necessarily
out
land
is
not
a
finite
resource
right,
an
infinite
resource.
There's
there's
a
finite
amount
that
we
can
build,
and
so,
if
we
can
build
up,
then
we
reduce
sprawl.
J
Another
aspect
of
this
that
I
really
appreciate
is
the
mixed
use.
Right.
I
want
to
be
able
to
bike
to
the
grocery
store.
I
want
to
be
able
to
walk
with
my
child
to
go,
get
ice
cream
or
you
know,
visit
a
neighborhood
shop.
These
things
are
important
and
when
you
have
huge
blocks
of
homogeneous
zoning,
it
prevents
that
a
good
example
of
this
is
an
army
base.
Right.
If
you
are
on
an
army
base,
you
have
a
grocery
store.
You
have
all
the
shops
that
you
need
and
you
don't
have
to
leave.
K
City
in
the
similar
way,
affordability
is
obviously
a
huge
issue
in
Boise
we're
being
priced
out
and
so
having
housing
options.
Beyond.
Just
you
know
single
family
or
townhouse
or
duplex.
When
we
have
options,
it
helps
bring
affordability
closer
to
reality
for
a
lot
of
people,
I'd
rather
have
a
big
apartment
apartment
complex
with
folks
who
are
college,
kids
or
retired
people
and
families
an
apartment,
complex,
big
together
with
everybody.
There
then
have
the
same
size
parcel
developed
with
three
families
on
it
right.
J
You
know
all
of
this
that
has
gone
into
rewriting
this
and
I
I
know
I'm
out
of
time
and
so
I'll
see
the
rest
of
it.
There's
lots
of
people
here.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next
up
we
have
Diana
laciando
welcome.
Did
you
have
a
question?
I'm
sorry
I
just
like
to
request
the
difficult
when
I
have
conversations,
that's
really
distracting.
Oh
sure,
the
I
just
had
a
request
that
if
folks
are
going
to
have
conversations
in
the
room,
please
just
take
advantage
of.
J
We've
got
a
really
quiet,
Lobby
out
there
behind
you
or
over
there,
because
it
does
become
a
distraction
for
Council
Members.
Thank
you
go
ahead.
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
Apparently
I
was
very
excited
when
the
sign
up
came
out
so
I'm
first
on
the
list.
I
do
have
to
get
some
boys
to
baseball,
but
I
also
feel.
L
The
promise
of
what
this
new
zoning
code
offers
so
to
just
reiterate
and
share
with
you,
four
generations
of
my
family
have
called
Boise
home
I,
actually
realized
it's
five
after
I
submitted
my
op-ed.
So
sorry,
great
amuma,
I
miss
you
in
1950s.
My
father
grew
up
in
a
duplex
right
next
to
his
grandmother
in
Boise's
North
End.
That
meant
they
could
walk
to
the
old
Carnegie
Library.
They
could
go
to
the
movies
they
could
go
to
the
grocery
store.
L
L
L
and
you
just
added
a
splash
pad
this
year.
Good
job,
and
that's
not
anybody
on
this
deus's
fault.
The
reality
is
that
Boise
fell
victim
to
what
many
communities
in
the
west
did.
So
we
kept
building
out
and
out
and
out
and
it's
very
expensive
to
provide
services.
Parks,
police,
fire,
Etc
I
know
that
as
a
citizen,
I
also
know
that
as
a
county
commissioner,
having
to
figure
out
how
to
provide
paramedics
for
some
of
those
developments.
L
C
M
M
M
I'm
back
Wayne
Richie
a
4137
Mountain
View.
This
has
got
a
lot
of
red
flags
in
it
and
the
more
you
look,
the
more
red
flags
you
find
parking
has
been
my
pet
peeve
forever.
According
to
the
2020
census,
one-fourth
of
25
have
one
car
or
less
75
of
the
of
the
city
has
two
cars
or
more.
This
is
ignoring
75
of
the
city
and
Catering
to
the
25
percent.
Mr
Keane
will
tell
you
nobody's
going
to
need
cars
anymore.
M
Everybody's
gonna
ride,
bicycles,
everybody's
going
to
ride
buses,
we're
going
to
have
these
little
neighborhoods
I'm,
62
years
old,
I,
don't
ride,
bicycles
to
the
store
and
most
of
the
people
here.
You
know
Jimmy
I
hate
to
be
this
way,
but
when
you're
my
age
and
you've
had
three
in
your
surgeries,
are
you
going
to
look
back
on
this
day
and
say:
did
I
watch
out
for
the
old
people
or
just
my
friends
that
ride
bikes?
This
is
a
red
flag.
Okay,
anyway,
one
car
per
household
is
is
ridiculous.
M
That's
my
red
flag
city
council
districts.
We
fought
a
Revolutionary
War
over
representation.
That's
a
red
flag
to
a
lot
of
people.
Most
of
you
live
in
the
North
End.
Your
lot
sizes
are
smaller
and
because
of
the
historical
districts,
this
doesn't
apply
to
your
homes,
not
in
my
backyard.
That's
a
huge
red
flag
to
a
lot
of
us
public
hearings.
The
neighborhood
associations
are
Furious
that
it's
not
allowing
public
hearings.
That's
a
huge
red
flag
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
Neighbors
for
Boise
is
running
an
ad
campaign.
M
Does
this
zoning
thing
so
full
of
red
flags
that
you
need
to
run
an
ad
campaign
to
sell
it
to
people
if
it
was
worth
having,
it
would
sell
itself?
And
it's
not,
let's
see
the
size
of
some
of
these
Homes
apartments,
whatever
that
you're
allowing
is
ridiculous.
70-Foot
buildings
in
our
neighborhood,
that's
a
that's,
not
a
home!
That's
a
an
apartment,
complex!
That's,
not
a
neighborhood,
and
let's
say
you
do
build
a
house
that
big
with
a
dozen
homes
in
it
with
12
parking
spots.
M
N
Or
the
people
that
have
to
live
here,
the
rest
of
their
life.
Every
question
that
comes
up
I
want
you
to
ask
yourself:
am
I
fighting
for
the
people
that
live
here
and
call
this
their
home
or
am
I
maximizing
developers,
profits,
it's
a
big
deal
and
it's
a
huge
red
plan
and
it's
what
we're
all
watching.
Thank
you,
Wayne.
Thank
you.
Just
for
the
record
I
got
my
knee
replaced
this
last
December
and
I'm.
Still
writing
all
right.
N
We'll
go
Katie
and
then
Dave
and
then
Sarah,
Skinner
and
Douglas
drink
I
come
on
up
you're
on
Deck,
Katie
fight,
1006,
North,
5th,
Boise
I.
Think
this
zoning
code
rewrite
up
zoning
whatever
you
want
to
call.
It
is
a
profound
mistake:
Boise
citizens
still
do
not
understand
what
all
is
involved
and
what's
at
stake
when
I
was
walking
down
to
the
rally.
Some
of
us
who
were
opposed
to
how
this
is
going
down.
N
N
That
includes
to
the
historical
districts,
because
I
agree
with
everything
that
Wayne
Richie
said,
except
it
will
have
a
very
significant
impact
on
historical
districts,
on
the
lots
and
the
homes
that
are
did
not
qualify
for
inclusion
in
the
historic
historical
designation
as
a
biologist,
I'm
horrified
at
what
this
will
do
to
our
City's
tree.
Canopy
Green,
Space,
open
space
and
as
just
a
Boise
citizen
what
it
will
do
to
People's,
Health
and
sense
of
well-being,
because
we
are
going
to
lose
a
tremendous
amount
of
open
space
opportunities.
N
There's
so
many
studies
that
should
be
done
before
a
huge
step
like
this
is
taken.
One
is
how
much
green
space
do
we
have
now?
How
much
is
our
city
tree
canopy
and
our
backyard
open
space,
essentially
contributing
to
cooling
the
city
contributing
to
mitigating
greenhouse
gases
versus
how
would
that
be
expected
to
change
10
and
20
years
down
the
line?
N
C
P
The
significant
issues
and
in
many
of
the
city
council
hearings,
I've,
attended
after
the
neighbors,
testify,
have
the
opportunity
to
testify
city
council
makes
changes
time
Kitty
your
time.
Thank
you
all
right,
Dave
come
on
up
and
then
we've
got
Sarah,
Skinner,
Douglas,
drinka
and
then
Kate
Simons
and
Rob
teeterman.
C
P
P
I
do
not
see
older
parts
of
Boise
having
the
infrastructure
to
handle
this
proposed
infill
as
we
went
through
these
simonich
properties.
We
identified
I
believe
it
was
four
different
neighborhood
projects,
five-year
work
plan
and
it
was
identified
now
they're
already
eight
years
in
the
backlog
on
just
neighborhood
projects
for
sidewalks
crosswalks,
all
of
which
are
going
to
be
badly
needed
as
you
increase
this
infill
and
that's
not
being
adequately
addressed.
P
Furthermore,
I
do
not
believe
the
incentives
are
going
to
provide
the
affordability
that
you
are
looking
for.
I
do
not
unders
think
that
most
developers
are
going
to
appreciate
the
city,
telling
them
how
to
build
their
house
with
sustainability,
which
is
a
more
expensive
process
to
put
in,
and
then
also
turn
around
and
say
we're
going
to
restrict
your
income
as
well,
when
they
can
just
turn
around.
P
C
Is
being
proposed
or
what
can
happen
so
how
can
you
say,
you're
going
to
be
predictable
when
you're
going
into
these
neighborhoods
and
you
have
this
wide
range
of
possibilities
to
develop?
Thank
you.
We'll
go
back
to
Monica
is
Monica
here
in
person
or
is
Monica
online
I'm
online.
Oh
great,
so
sorry
about
that.
Welcome,
okay,.
C
J
C
T
This
change
eliminates
the
guard
rails
necessary
for
the
cup
to
condition
a
use
with
site-specific
mitigation,
if
possible,
and
if
not
to
deny
the
permit
inserting
the
public
benefit
Clause
here
that
entirely
changes
the
intent
of
a
cup
and
opens
the
process
to
vast
ambiguity
and
challenges,
failures,
failures
of
the
environmental
justice,
typically
rationalize
harm
done
to
vulnerable
residents
and
un
as
as
unpleasant,
but
necessarily
sacrifices
for
the
public
good.
Indeed,
such
excuses
have
been
heard
to
justify
the
impact
of
Blue
Valley
by
altering
the
essence
of
the
cup.
T
That
adverse
impacts
must
be
mitigated
in
order
to
gain
approval.
Boise
codifies
these
sacrifices,
even
while
giving
false
assurance
that
harms
will
be
addressed
in
the
public
hearing
process.
This
will
undoubtedly
have
a
disparate
impact
on
people
who
are
historically
discriminated
against
the
worst
low-income
people
of
people
of
color
and
people
with
disabilities
and
families
with
children.
T
There
is
strong
relationship
between
discriminatory
land
use
practices
and
hazardous
environmental
exposure
like
physical
and
chemical
hazards,
air
noise,
light
pollution,
lead
pesticides
and
mold
Superfund
sites,
landfills
and
sewage
and
Industrial
Development,
as
well
as
the
disproportionate
impacts
of
climate
change.
Monica
you've
hit
time.
We
do
have
your
comments
recorded
as
well.
They
were
submitted.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
quick
question
for
Monica
sure,
so
the
current
conditional
use
test
directs
the
planning
city
planners
and
applicants
to
look
at
property
in
the
vicinity
and
uses
in
the
vicinity
and
that's
it.
U
Us
to
consider
the
well-being
of
those
vulnerable
residents
which
you're
talking
about
adding
the
words
public
good
adds
more
protection.
It
allows
us
to
consider
these
broader
things
and
so
I.
Don't
I.
Just
don't
understand
your
objection,
and
maybe
you
can
help
me
understand
it
because
I
think
that's
the
question
right,
yeah,
yeah,
I,
just
don't
get
it.
Can
you
help
sure?
Thank
you
for
the
question
so
when
you
create
this
this,
this
new
ordinance
the
opportunity
for
people
to
come
forward
and
point
out
what
effects
this
has
on
them.
T
Neighborhoods
that
are
cited
right
next
to
commercial
or
industrial
areas,
understanding
that
those
are
there
are
butting
each
other
and
that
people
live
in.
Those
places
is
different
than
just
saying:
hey
you've
met
criteria,
a
b
and
c,
and
so
we're
just
going
to
let
it
go
we're
not
going
to
hear
anything
we're
not
going
to
see
any
evidence.
We
don't
have
any
experts
on
environmental
justice
or
environmental
pollution.
We're
not
going
to
hear
any
of
that,
and
and
so
you've
limited
the
information
that
you
have
to
make
these
decisions.
T
Okay,
thanks,
I'll,
look
harder
at
your
written
comments
too.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Now
we've
got
Sarah
Skinner
welcome,
then
Doug
drinka
Kate,
Simons,
Rob,
teeterman
and
Chris
Runyan
hi.
My
name
is
Sarah
Skinner
I'm
at
1153,
Kimberly
and
I
want
to
express
my
my
support
of
the
rewrite
because
it
provides
for
greater,
affordable
housing
and
greater
density
and
I
think
that
those
bring
benefits
for
all
of
us.
I
was
born
here.
I
grew
up
in
the
West
End
on
25th
and
Woodlawn.
My
mom
was
a
single
mom.
T
She
was
a
kindergarten
teacher
at
Whittier,
Elementary
and
I
grew
up
with
hand-me-downs,
and
we
rented
out
rooms
in
our
house
to
tenants
and
my
mom
thought
about
pretty
hard
before
buying
anything,
even
just
a
Coke,
but
we
could
afford
housing
fast
forward
to
when
my
kids
were
little.
We
lived
in
Carrboro
North
Carolina,
which
is
a
lovely
town
with
very
high
home
prices
and
Sky
High
rent.
Many
of
my
kids
teachers
couldn't
afford
to
live
in
the
district
where
they
taught
many
were
driving
two
or
three
from
two
or
three
towns
away.
T
45
minutes
each
way
in
the
car
as
more
and
more
people
from
all
professions
had
to
do.
This
commute
the
traffic
got
worse
and
worse.
People
spent
more
time
in
their
cars.
The
air
pollution
increased
and
we
had
days
where
we
had
to
keep
the
kids
inside
because
of
poor
air
quality,
then,
as
the
cost
of
housing
continue
to
grow.
T
Beyond
the
reach
of
the
teacher's
salaries,
the
schools
became
unable
to
recruit
staff,
so
my
kids,
Elementary
School,
had
had
difficulty
filling
teachers
and
they
would
start
the
year
with
substitutes,
including
one
class,
where
they
didn't
find
a
permanent
teacher
until
February.
Those
kids
had
rotating
substitute
teachers
until
February,
and
they
didn't
learn
very
much.
So
it
wasn't
just
teachers,
though
it
was
firefighters,
police
officers,
nursing,
home
aides,
restaurant
workers,
sanitation
workers,
people
were
just
getting
priced
out
and
I
want
you
to
think
about
what
that
feels
like
to
not
be
able
to
live.
V
T
In
a
town
where
my
kids
teachers
can
be
my
neighbors,
where
the
police
officer
who
patrols
my
street
can
live
on
my
street,
where
the
person
who
picks
up
my
garbage
can
live
down,
the
block
I
think
we
all
benefit
from
having
a
diversity
of
housing
options
and
we're
having
greater
density,
which
then
allows
us
to
have
public
transportation
and
not
spend
as
much
time
in
our
cars.
So
I
encourage
you
to
support
the
zoning
plan.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sarah
douglastrinka.
C
J
S
Mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
Doug
drinka
I
live
at
3808,
North
Hawthorne
Drive.
At
the
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
we
heard
the
following
plan
of
action.
Staff
will
create
a
set
of
metrics
to
measure
the
success
of
the
modern
code,
we'll
put
the
code
into
place,
even
if
it's
not
quite
perfect,
we'll
come
back
a
year
later,
review
the
metrics
and
make
changes
and
we'll
continue
this
iterative
process
into
the
future.
S
Municipalities
must
tread
carefully
to
avoid
triggering
a
government
taking
when
changing
zoning
laws.
Once
an
entitlement
is
offered,
it
can't
just
be
canceled
later.
For
example,
in
the
current
modern
code
drafts
staff
may
have
liked
to
require
additional
affordability
or
sustainability
requirements.
They
can't
just
create
those
requirements.
It
has
to
come
in
the
form
of
new
incentives.
S
If
a
parcel
is
up
zoned,
it
can't
be
down
zoned
by
the
city.
If
an
incentive
is
offered,
it
can't
just
be
removed
or
modified
for
evidence
of
this
consider.
The
legalese
city
staff
has
proposed
earlier
this
month
to
add
to
section
110109,
the
enactment
of
this
code
shall
not
terminate
or
otherwise
affect
rights
acquired
or
authorized
under
prior
code.
S
S
S
S
S
I
see
you
have
just
a
little
more
time
and
I
want
to
think
a
little
bit
about
this
idea
of
measuring
the
impact
of
these
changes.
I'm.
Currently,
the
planning
department
database
and
the
building
permit
database
aren't
connected.
This
means
there's
no
way
to
report
on
a
project
from
administrative
approval,
all
the
way
to
an
occupancy
permit.
S
We
need
to
get
that
fixed.
We
need
public
reporting
and
dashboarding
on
the
use
of
incentives.
We
need
a
way
to
measure
the
impact
of
development
on
existing
neighborhoods
home
sale
prices,
aren't
public
record
in
Idaho,
but
they're
often
reported
to
realty
companies
in
the
county.
The
city
should
have
access
to
those.
We
should
be
funding
studies
that
track
the
balance
of
affordability,
sustainable
development
and
neighborhood
stability.
S
C
W
To
be
unprecedented
as
far
as
I
can
tell
so
thank
you
in
advance
for
educating
all
of
us.
My
name
is
Kate
Simons
I
live
in
the
downtown
neighborhood
on
14th
in
Idaho
I'm,
proud
to
have
been
born
and
raised
here
and
after
leaving
to
get
my
undergraduate
degree
and
going
on
to
live
in
various
cities
across
the
west
and
the
world.
The
city
of
Boise
remains
my
favorite
place
that
I
have
ever
lived,
and
it's
true
that
Boise
is
not
the
same
city.
W
It
was
when
I
was
born
in
the
90s,
and
it's
certainly
not
the
same
city.
It
was
60
years
ago
when
this
code
was
developed,
Boise
has
grown
and
Boise
is
growing,
because
Boise
is
great.
Ignoring
this
growth
is
a
choice
that
has
failed
countless
cities
before
us
so
I'm
here
today
to
encourage
directly
addressing
that
growth
deliberately
and
I
testify,
with
with
emphatic
support
for
the
modern
Zone
code,
I
work
in
Economic
Development
and
spend
much
of
my
time
assessing
evaluating
growth
and
analyzing
how
communities
and
businesses
are
impacted
in
this
work.
W
I
have
witnessed
a
handful
of
relevant
Trends
I'd
like
to
share
first
and
foremost.
City
sprawl
is
somewhat
of
an
economic
black
hole.
It's
bad
for
communities.
To
summarize,
commissioner
La
Chando,
it's
much
bigger
than
the
traffic
conversation
that
takes
up
a
lot
of
the
air
time,
notably
it
threatens
our
agricultural
lands
which
take
up
and
contribute
18
of
our
state's
economic
output.
It
also
threatens
our
ability
to
have
clean
potable
water,
it
stretches
and
dilutes
the
city's
ability
to
provide
infrastructure,
public
services
and
First
Responders
to
its
citizens.
W
When
these
services
are
stretched,
as
we
know,
property
taxes
increase,
I
could
go
on
and
on,
but
you
have
all
heard
these
truths
already.
My
point
is
that
ignoring
growth
or
allowing
this
deliberate
attempt
to
antiquate
Boise
is
not
only
fiscally
irresponsible.
It
is
the
theft
of
future
residents
getting
to
enjoy
the
greatness.
That
I
got
as
a
kid
and
that
I
have
now
and
while
I
can
continue
making
this
point
that
sprawl
is
bad.
I
would
rather
make
the
point
that
density
is
good.
I
know
this
I'm
a
renter
in
in
downtown
Boise.
W
Arguably,
the
community
that
will
be
affected
most
by
this
new
zoning
code
in
my
mixed
use:
multi-family
apartment
building
on
14th
my
next
door.
Neighbor-
is
a
cafe
on
my
block.
My
other
neighbors
are
a
dairy
farm,
an
auto
shop
and
an
outdoors
Outfitter.
My
dreamy
two
block
walk
to
work
is
so
short
that
it
does
not
even
register
on
Strava
I
use
my
car
as
little
as
possible.
I
bike
everywhere.
I
can,
including
to
meetings
to
our
newly
formed
downtown
Boise
Association.
W
If
anyone
would
like
to
join
and
to
visit
my
family
in
the
East,
End
and
I
feel
more
connected
to
my
community
than
I
ever
have
this
code
would
allow
and
expand
access
to
those
economic
benefits
into
the
lifestyle
I
feel
so
privileged
to
enjoy
not
just
for
existing
residents
but
to
the
lucky
citizens
of
our
City's
future,
so
I'm
in
full
support
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

and
one
of
your
partners
for
the
past
10
years,
with
both
Public
Works
and
Parks

Recreation
departments.
At
the
city
of
Boise
planning,
a
zoning
commission
hearings.
There
was
much
discussion
about
parking,
housing,
densities,
building,
Heights
and
participation
in
the
public
process.
Today,
instead,
I
wish
to
speak
for
the
Boise
River
I
wish
to
speak
for
the
trees,
because
you
have
read
testimony
I
was
just
about
to
ask
the
same
thing.
Z
Z
Is
there
a
way
to
not
share
this?
That
screen
with
us?
Okay,
great,
oh,
perfect,
go
ahead!
Thank
you
is
that
what
you
were
asking?
Okay,
because
you
have
read
testimony
provided
by
the
public
I
know
you've
seen
my
two
letters
related
to
the
drafts,
the
Boise
zoning
code,
rewrite
dated
March
31st,
2022
and
June
27th
2022.,
with
that
testimony,
I
took
you
deep
into
the
weeds
of
the
intent,
the
purpose
and
the
language
of
the
Boise
River
system
ordinance
today,
I
wish
to
take
a
step
back
and
give
you
perspective.
Z
I
am
a
restoration
ecologist.
My
work
is
largely
to
put
back
together
the
pieces
and
parts
of
broken
natural
landscapes,
especially
rivers
and
their
floodplains.
I'm.
Also
one
of
the
principal
authors
of
the
Boise
River
system,
ordinance
written
over
a
period
of
18
months
and
adopted
its
ordinance
in
1993..
It
is
a
durable
document
that
remains
useful.
The
present
time
the
people
of
Boise,
like
Vicki
Paulson
from
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
Barbara
Sparrow
from
the
southeast
neighborhood
association
and
Carl
Gebhardt,
a
civil
engineer
advocated
for
passage
of
this
ordinance
at
public
hearings.
Z
It
was
praised
by
the
U.S
Environmental
Protection
Agency
touted
by
then
mayor
kempthorne,
and
because
of
its
requirement
for
a
200-foot
setback
from
the
water
line
of
the
river
at
a
flow
of
6500
cubic
feet
per
second
largely
responsible
for
the
corridors
of
open
space
at
Spring,
Meadow
phase
one
and
two
and
the
wood
duck
Island
subdivisions
and
the
Harris
Ranch
Community.
My
purpose,
in
speaking
with
you
today,
is
to
ask
you
to
ensure
that
the
intent
purpose
and
language
of
the
original
ordinance
is
Faithfully
transposed
into
the
city
of
Boise
zoning
code
rewrite.

Richard

Hill

I,
want
to
tell
you
the
reason,
I'm
wearing
my
reject
Boise
up
Zone
t-shirt
today,
I'm
troubled
by
the
attack
on
the
public
process
that
is
core
to
the
zoning
code.
Rewrite
this
attack
follows
a
nationwide
Trend
in
the
wake
of
the
housing
affordability
crisis
blame
locals,
even
though
any
objective
assessment
shows
that
the
real
cause
has
been
the
market
reaction
to
the
housing
crash
a
dozen
years
ago
and
resulting
fiscal
policy.
AA
Here
we
have
a
double
blow
to
local
input.
First,
the
rewrite
in
itself
represents
more
than
one
hundred
thousand
rezone
Parcels,
Each
of
which
would
require
a
public
hearing
today
and
second
in
the
future,
many
public
hearings
will
be
replaced
by
administrative
decisions,
perhaps
in
big
cities
or
some
Eastern
towns,
where
every
rezone
requires
a
public
vote.
Influential
locals
have
slowed
construction,
but
what
evidence
do
we
have
here
in
Boise
that
residents
are
the
problems?
Yesterday
we
heard
from
City
staff
that
public
hearings
require
applicants
to
hire
attorneys,
but
how
often
does
that
really
happen?
AA
AA
How
many
hundreds
or
thousands
of
housing
units
of
various
types
have
been
approved
for
rezones
variances
in
conditional
use
permits
and
have
been
constructed
constructed,
but
sitting
empty
or
not
constructed
in
the
last
decade?
How
many
housing
units
have
been
denied
after
a
public
hearing
by
each
neighborhood?
That's
a
very
small
number.
As
a
member
of
the
citizens
advisory
committee,
I
asked
for
these
data
numerous
times,
but
they
were
never
made
available
when
we
have
left
decisions
to
administrators.
The.
AA
C
AC
Resulted
in
con
constantly
idling
diesel
trucks
150
feet
from
their
doors.
Yes,
the
history
of
zoning
is
Tainted
with
classism
and
racism,
but
the
ongoing
Story
shows
that,
as
less
powerful
residents
start
to
organize
using
the
existing
laws
of
the
land,
those
laws
which
have
served
the
powerful
well
now
must
be
abandoned.
You
will
hear
this
other
story.
If
you
listen
to
those
fighting
displacement
from
their
neighborhoods
in
cities
across
the
country,
locals
aren't
always
right,
but
often
we
are
the
ones
that
have
or
gain
an
understanding
of
the
real
impacts
to
projects.
AC
Sometimes
we
end
up
saving
the
day
in
a
county.
For
example,
only
that's
five
million
dollars
on
a
dynamos
waste
incinerator
because
locals
dug
deep
and
stopped
it.
Real
communication
is
an
organic
process
that
has
its
own
timeline.
Despite
planning
staff's
real
efforts
to
get
feedback,
it
cannot
be
forced.
It's
really
just
now,
that's
beginning!
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Richard
Madam
mayor.
Are
we
ready?
Oh
Richard,
there's
a
question
council
member
has
a
question:
yes,
yes,
Richard,
I'm
interested
in
your
opinion
as
a
member
of
the
citizens
advisory
committee.
AC
What
would
you
have
liked
to
see?
I
understand
that
there's
some
types
of
developments
that
we
want
to
have
an
administrative
review.
One
of
those
examples
is
like
if
I
want
to
rent
out
a
basement
apartment
and
I'm,
not
increasing
the
square
footage
of
my
property.
Why
would
I
irritate
my
neighbors?
So
that's
that's
one
example
but
I'm
more
interested
in
what
would
you
like
to
see
as
part
of
the
public
notification
process
that
isn't
in
here?
What
what
are?
What's
something
actionable?
We
can
take
into
consideration
when
we're
considering
the
notice
requirements.
AC
You
know
the
notice.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
think
the
notice
requirements
in
of
themselves
are
a
little
bit
of
a
red
herring,
because
if
you
are
noticed,
but
you
don't
have
a
hearing
or
there's
really
no
chance
for
you
to
have
input
in
the
process
other
than
perhaps
to
appeal.
So
you
know
there
is
that
but
I
think
from
my
perspective,
it's
not
so
much
notification,
but
it's
the
chance
to
come
down
and
speak
to.
AC
AC
AD
C
You
know
really
truncate
the
public
process,
so
I
can't
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
not
giving
you
very
specific
detail
alterations,
but
what
I
would
say
is
we
should
essentially
keep
the
hearing
process
as
we
have
it
now.
Okay
gather
those
data
and
then,
if
we
really
need
to
change
it,
then
then
go
ahead,
but
even
in
the
even
if
we
don't
change
the
public
process
right,
we
are
still
no
longer
going
to
have
public.
AF
AE
AE
I
had
a
conversation
with
council
member
Ellie
Burton
and
he
corrected
me
actually
in
my
neighborhood,
the
the
irrigation
lateral
30
number
34,
the
pathway
along
there
is
in
the
pathways
master
plan,
but
it's
not
exactly
the
same
as
I
missed
it
because
it
didn't
connect
as
far
but
really
on
a.
We
need
to
get
it
right,
neighborhood
by
neighborhood,
because
after
this
goes
through
that
those
hundred
thousand
Parcels
are
going
to
have
new
entitlements,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
to
claw
them
back.
So
that's
I,
guess
my
my
main
concern.
AE
AE
It's
I
think
you
have
to
listen
to
the
people
on
that,
because
it
really
is
contextual,
it's
the
it's
really
site
specific.
So
to
me,
it's
not
multi-family
versus
single
family
or
anything
else.
It's
just
do
the
people
who
live
nearby,
what
are
their
concerns,
so
I
can't
answer
it
other
than
listen
to
the
locals.
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
Is
the
slideshow
ready
all
right.
Chris
come
on
up
sorry
about
that.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
city
council
members
for
listening
to
my
concerns
about
the
proposed
code.
AE
My
name
is
Chris
Runyan
I
live
at
606,
Brookdale
Drive,
like
my
testimony
during
playing
and
Zoning,
where
I
presented
similar
data
I
want
to
publicly
state
that
you
should
not.
You
should
not
vote
to
approve
this
code
due
to
the
city's
failure
to
provide
its
residents
with
an
accurate
description
of
the
impacts
to
Public
Welfare
by
lowering
the
minimum
lot
size
in
r1c.
AD
AE
Of
your
voters,
as
you
heard
yesterday,
the
code
amendment
process
is
being
justified
because
it
provides
for
General
Welfare,
but
did
it
adequately
disclose
the
impacts
to
the
general
water
filler
welfare?
For
those
currently
living
here,
the
city
has
stated
the
zcr
will
provide
Dependable
building
patterns.
AE
C
AH
Does
the
data
show
that
remember
for
every
lot
that
could
now
be
split
that
allow
density
doubles
in
my
neighborhood
of
226
homes,
the
total
number
of
lots
goes
to
four
from
14
to
94
and
almost
600
percent
increase
in
the
South
End
Neighborhood
of
404
homes.
It
goes
from
13
to
97.
I'm
I'm,
showing
the
picture
of
that
right.
There
I've
looked
at
almost
4
000
Parcels
so
far
using
Ada
County,
Assessor's
GIS
map
and
these
results
can
be
reasonably
assumed.
AH
I
have
almost
15
years
of
experience
using
GIS
software
and
I
stand
behind
these
results.
If
one
were
to
scale
this
out
across
the
city,
we
are
talking
about
massive
changes
in
the
number
of
lots
that
could
be
split.
This
change
will
impact
welfare
of
those
currently
living
in
those
neighborhoods,
either
through
increased
displacement
from
Demolition
or
increased
rents,
property
values
or
property
taxes.
You,
the
city
council,
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
your
constituents
to
require
that
the
city
discloses
this
data
to
the
public
prior
to
Casting.
Your
vote.
AH
AH
Thank
you
all
right,
Ryan
McGoldrick
and
then
Andrew
great
thanks
and
then
after
Andrew,
Ben,
Burnham
and
Robert
Frazier
welcome.
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Ryan
McGoldrick
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
conservation
voters
for
Idaho
in
support
of
the
proposed
modern
zoning
code.
First
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
mayor
city,
council
and
all
of
their
staff,
all
the
staff
for
all
the
work
you've
done
to
put
this
together,
as
well
as
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
I
know.
This
has
been
a
lot
of
work
to
put
this
together.
AH
Later
today,
you
will
hear
specific
stories
from
some
of
my
colleagues
who
went
around
and
knocked
on
doors
and
attended
community
events.
We
found
that,
regardless
of
if
folks
supported
or
posed
the
rewrite,
the
one
thing
that
they
had
in
common
was
their
values.
Boise
residents
wanted
homes
that
they
can
afford.
AH
Boise
residents
wanted
walkable
communities
with
trees
and
access
to
parks
and
Open
Spaces
and
Boise
residents
wanted
to
ensure
that
we're
using
our
resources
efficiently,
whether
that
resource
is
land,
water
or
energy
and
I
think
you'll,
hear
kind
of
those
same
same
values
reflected
throughout
the
testimony
tonight.
We
believe
that
this
zoning
code
delivers
on
those
values.
That's
why
this
week
we
submitted
a
joint
letter
of
support
for
the
rewrite
from
conservation
voters
for
Idaho
catch
Idaho
conservation,
League
neighbors
for
Boise
Idaho.
AH
C
Bicycle
project
board
of
directors,
Idaho,
walk
bike,
Alliance,
the
golden
eagle,
Audubon
Society,
and
the
canals
connect,
Community
Coalition,
we're
all
organizations
that
work
in
housing,
Transportation,
open
space,
climate
and
conservation,
and
we
support
the
proposed
rewrite
because
it
matches
our
values
and
the
values
of
our
members.
That
letter
is
public
record,
so
I.
AI
AI
AI
So
first
I
want
to
point
out
I,
don't
think,
that's
a
question
you're
ever
going
to
hear
from
renters
from
families
who
can't
afford
their
first
starter
home
from
recent
Boise
and
Boise
State
graduates
who
can't
afford
to
stay
in
our
city
and
those
who
realize
the
importance
of
taking
action
on
climate
change
right
now
and
I.
Think
all
those
people
understand
why
this
is
a
priority
to
get
this
done
and
why
we're
so
intent
on
making
this
a
priority
for
the
city.
AI
Secondly,
I
want
to
point
out
that
I,
don't
think
the
city
has
rushed
on
this.
By
my
count,
the
average
citizen
has
had
50
opportunities,
as
of
tomorrow
will
be
the
50th
opportunity.
The
Boise
residents
have
to
give
their
input
on
this
process
and
that's
not
counting
the
mailers
went
out
to
Residents
Flyers
at
every
Library
city,
building,
Community
event
or
the
citizen
advisory
committee.
I
know
that
City
staff
haven't
talked
to
every
single
resident
in
the
city,
but
I
know
they've
at
least
tried.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AI
AI
Thank
you.
Councilmember
Willits
and
mayor
McLean,
I,
haven't
looked
at
their
direct
comments,
but
I
think
that
it
sounds
like
a
reasonable
request
on
initial
review,
but
I'd
want
to
see
it
more
before
giving
any
formal.
Thank
you
thanks.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All
right
Andrew
come
on
up
and
then
Ben
Burnham
spend
online.
AI
Oh
you're,
there
sorry
I,
didn't
see
you
and
then
Robert
Frazier
welcome
hi.
My
name
is
Andrew
chimich
and
I
live
at
1500,
North,
10th,
Street
apartment
4.
and
tonight,
I'm
speaking
in
strong
support
of
the
updated
zoning
code
unfortunate
enough
to
live
in
a
neighborhood
built
long
before
the
existing
cook.
There
are
a
few
obvious
signs
of
this
just
on
my
block
for.
AJ
AJ
C
Under
the
current
code
and
many
blocks
in
the
neighborhood
can
boast
similar
numbers,
yet
somehow
the
neighborhood
thrives.
It
is
such
a
success
that,
despite
the
median
income
being
well
below
the
city
average,
it
holds
a
reputation
of
being
a
wealthy
neighborhood.
In
my
view,
this
Success
is
Not
In
Spite
of
the
lack
of
parking,
but
because
of
it
with
more
space
dedicated
to.
AL
It
allows
people
like
me
and
many
of
my
neighbors
to
live
without
a
car.
At
all,
it's
exciting
to
see
the
city
seem
to
recognize
the
wisdom
built
into
our
older
neighborhoods.
It's
incorporating
these
lessons
into
the
modern
zoning
code,
though
I
wish
we
would
eliminate
parking
mandates
altogether.
The
reductions
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
AL
The
new
code
also
acknowledges
that
housing,
affordability
isn't
just
about
the
cost
of
rent,
but
also
the
other
Associated
living
expenses,
with
the
average
cost
of
car
ownership
in
Idaho
being
500
per
month.
Affordability,
affordability
also
means
building
a
city
that
reduces
the
number
of
cars.
Your
family
needs
to
live
a
good
and
meaningful
life,
but
the
city
is
also
clear
that
the
approach
to
affordability
goes
beyond
just
this
code.
AL
As
director
Keane
mentioned
in
the
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
the
private
Market
generally
cannot
produce
new
housing
for
those
making
below
80
Ami
for
these
residents,
the
city
must
subsidize
the
rent,
a
risk,
pushing
them
into
homelessness.
The
city
has
shown
a
willingness
to
do
this
by
directly
purchasing
units
and
creating
the
housing
Land
Trust
subsidized
private
development,
along
along
with
the
adoption
of
this
new
code,
I
hope
to
see
these
efforts
expanded
a
city
and
its
neighbors
should
be
built
with
the
expectation
of
change.
AL
A
neighborhood
that
is
unable
to
grow
and
transform
without
significantly
harming
its
residents,
is
a
fragile
one,
and
that
is
exactly
what
the
existing
code
has
been
building
for
the
past
few
Generations.
The
new
code,
I
hope,
will
send
us
in
a
different
direction,
one
where
we
don't
fear
growth.
What
we
see
it
as
opportunity
to
strengthen
what
we
already
have.
Thank
you.
AL
Next
up,
Ben,
Robert
Frazier
online
great
welcome,
oh
I
just
said:
welcome,
okay,
thank
you.
Ben
Burnham,
4305,
West,
Fairmont,
Street
I
have
a
little
slideshow,
so
I
can
put
my
thoughts
because
I
get
very
nervous,
and
so
my
point
today
is
to
to
chat
with
you
briefly
about
why
I
support
the
modern
zoning
code.
AL
So
my
purpose,
and
why,
in
my
testimony
today,
are
these
four
key
components:
I'm
on
my
neighborhood
association
I'm,
not
speaking
on
behalf
of
them,
some
wonderful
people
there,
but
I
do
think
that
this
change
having
earlier
neighborhood
participation
is
a
big
deal
a
lot
of
times.
I
live
in
an
area
of
the
bench.
That's
had
several
developments.
E
C
AN
Neighborhoods
that
spoke
yesterday
reached
out
to
their
citizens.
It's
a
lot
to
ask,
especially
for
some
of
these
smaller
neighborhoods
that
don't
necessarily
have
the
Professional
Organization
like
places
like
the
North
or
east
end,
and
so
I
think
anything
the
city
can
do
to
help
with.
That
is
a
great
way
to
move
forward
too.
The
second
piece
is
low-wage
workers
in
housing.
I
am
fortunate
to
supervise
folks
that
work
in
the
trades
folks
that
are
directly
out
of
college.
AN
The
worst
thing
that
I
get
when
trying
to
recruit
someone
to
where
I
work
is
the
housing
discussion,
along
with
wages
that
have
not
kept
up
with
housing,
and
so
my
hope
here
is
that
folks
can't
afford
to
live
where
they
work.
We
hear
a
lot
about
congestion.
We
don't
want
to
turn
ourselves
into
some
of
those
West
Coast
cities.
Well,
the
easiest
way
to
do
that
is
to
allow
for
folks
to
live
where
they
work
to
bike.
To
do
those
things,
not
everyone
has
to
ride
a
bike
contrary
to
earlier
testimony.
AN
However,
if
several
people
do
that
takes
several
cars
off
the
road
and
that's
where
we
win
I'd
like
to
plan
for
the
next
30
Years,
not
the
last
30
years,
so
my
hope
is
that
we
can
continue
to
move
forward
in
a
way
that
we're
able
to
react
to
the
live
reality
of
the
future.
Not
what
we've
done
the
last
30
years,
which
in
planning
doesn't
seem
like
something
that
anyone
wants
to
repeat
and
then
it
also
creates
sustainable
neighborhoods.
AN
So
again
you
hear
the
15-minute
neighborhood
I
know:
that's
become
a
buzzword
in
a
bad
way
for
some
folks,
but
I.
Think
that's
a
really
cool
thing
to
have
in
this
town.
There's
a
lot
of
places
where
you
can't
necessarily
walk
or
bike
safely
to
get
there
and
I
hope.
We
can
change
that
and
then
real
briefly.
I
have
a
couple
pictures
I'm,
not
sure
how
it'll
show
up,
but
my
hope
with
this
one
is
to
show
that
likely
voters
tend
to
back
housing.
AN
AN
The
other
thing
is,
it
works,
so
the
cities
who
have
built
more
housing
have
lowered
the
cost
of
housing,
which
I
think
is
very
important,
because
that
was
something
I
heard
in
the
first
round
as
well,
and
then
I
also
think
it's
the
more
conservative
thing
to
do.
We
have
to
play
to
where
we
live,
which
is
Idaho,
which
is
conservative,
and
this
takes
the
government
out
specifically
around
parking
minimums
I.
Think
that's
an
area
that
we
can
improve.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
What's
your
trade?
AN
What's
that,
what's
your
trade,
sir,
you
work
in
Recreation.
Thank
you
all
right,
Mr
Frazier,
Robert
Frazier!
We
see
you
welcome
hello.
There
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
her
Administration
for
the
political
Capital
that
you've
spent
to
pursue
this
work.
It
is
vital
and
thankful
for
it.
My

is
Robert

I
live
at

and
I'm
a
faith
leader
at
Redemption
Hill
who's
passionate
about
housing
is
an
issue
in
our
city.
AN
I'm
one
of
18
Faith
leaders
who
have
signed
on
in
support
of
this
zoning
code
rewrite
unfortunately,
some
want
to
protect
their
neighborhoods
from
change
without
any
concern
for
our
kids
and
those
who
cannot
afford
to
find
any
place
to
live.
We
have
to
think
about
the
most
vulnerable
by
considering
that
there
are
over
4.
E
C
Y
60
year
old
home
in
the
same
neighborhood,
the
Westmoreland
neighborhood
in
2016
for
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
that
is
five
times
the
payment
in
36
years
and
just
seven
years
later,
it's
over
doubled
in
price
to
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
At
that
pace
of
increasing
value.
My
nine-year-old
is
gonna
need
four
to
five
million
dollars
to
stay
on
the
west
bench.
Y
We
need
more
housing,
less
red
tape
and
simpler
processes
for
developing
infill
projects,
with
higher
dance
density,
lower
parking
requirements
and
human-sized
walkable
neighborhoods,
with
mixed-use
development
not
held
back
by
neighbors,
who
just
don't
want
any
change
in
our
city,
our
team
of
housing
Advocates
that
has
worked
at
hauseyounabor.org
to
help
everyday
people
to
participate
in
housing
and
solving
our
housing
problems,
we're
hoping
that
this
will
be
passed
and
it'll
help
average
people
to
use
their
underutilized
properties
for
creating
homes
for
kids
in
our
city.
Thank
you.

Thank
you.

Why

are

great
thanks?
My

Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you.
Madame
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council.
I
live
at
6780,
Casa,
Real,
Boise,
Idaho
I
came
here
today
to
listen
to
the
discussion,
to
get
some
more
information
and
to
hopefully
formulate
an
opinion
or
give
some
ideas.
I
appreciate
the
testimony
I've
heard
so
far
on
both
sides
of
this
issue.
Y
If
this
zoning
ordinance
will
do
all
the
things
that
it
sounds
like
a
new,
affordable
housing
and
walkable
neighborhoods
and
all
for
it,
some
skepticism
we've
heard.
Do
you
have
the
data?
Has
there
been
other
cities
who
have
adopted
this
type
of
ordinance
and
have
we've
seen
the
results
of
affordable
housing?
That
is
a
key
issue
in
our
community
I'm.
All
for
it.
I
have
children.
Grandchildren
I
want
them
to
have
affordable
housing,
but
do
you
have
the
database?
Y
AO
Take
back,
we
found
that
in
the
Foothills,
when
the
policy
for
the
city
was
to
build
an
enclosed
Mall
in
downtown,
then
developers
went
into
the
Foothills
because
downtown
needed
to
be
the
center
of
retail,
so
they
went
into
the
Foothills.
They
bought
properties
they
had
entitlements.
So
as
mayor
kempthorne
did
a
great
excuse
me,
mayor
McLean,
thank
you.
AO
She
did
a
great
job
in
heading
up
that
Grassroots
effort
to
pass
a
bond
so
that
we
could
go
up
into
the
Foothills
and
buy
those
properties,
but
it
was
because
there
was
already
entitlements
up
there
that
we
had
to
go
up
and
buy
those
properties.
Don't
entitle
properties
throughout.
Our
community
sounds
like
thousands
of
lots
until
you
know
for
sure
you
will
be
able
to
provide
affordable
housing.
No
one
wants
you
to
take
more
time,
as
has
been
stated.
Let's
do
it.
AO
Let's
do
it
right,
but
please
do
it
right
make
sure
you
have
the
data.
Look
for
other
communities
that
have
done
this.
Did
it
work
for
them
when
the
policy
for
Boise
was
to
have
a
mall
and
a
closed
mall
in
downtown,
they
were
going
to
tear
down
eight
square
blocks
of
historic
buildings
where
currently
we
get
to
go
and
have
shopping
and
restaurants.
That
was
a
policy
that
Salem
Oregon
had
adopted.
Salt
Lake
City
had
adopted
that
other
communities
across
the
United
States
Long
Beach
a
city
where
I
worked
for
a
couple
of
years.
AO
They
had
adopted
that
policy.
It
was
a
failed
policy,
but
they
thought
it
was
going
to
be
great.
They
were
going
to
attract
customers
and
Retail
in
a
vibrant
downtown.
It
didn't
work
for
them,
so
we
opposed
that
policy.
We
changed
it
and
as
a
city,
now
we
have
a
beautiful
downtown,
make
sure
you
do
this
right,
Thank
you
for
either
time.
Thank
you.
AO
AO
AO
The
new
code,
the
new
code,
fails
to
fairly
create
low-income
housing
across
Boise.
One
major
Injustice
is
the
double
up
Zone,
which
rezones
property
along
State,
Vista
and
Fairview
to
R2,
and
then
further
up
zones
are
two
to
be
much
more
permissive.
This
presents
several
issues
no
legally
required
notification
of
rezone
was
made
and
the
double
up
zone
is
inconsistently
implemented
with
nearly
20
percent
of
the
double
up
Zone
properties,
not
within
the
eighth
of
a
mile.
Additionally,
r1c
homes
that
have
been
double
up,
Zone
to
R2
lack
the
protection
against
tall
buildings
and.
AO
Posted
user
guides
show
scenarios
of
what
the
zcr
rules
allow,
but
these
scenarios
downplay
true
impact
you'll,
see
no
examples
of
M3
abutting
R2,
since
NX
is
supposed
to
be
transitioned
down
by
R2.
That's
surprising.
The
R2
guide
fails
to
show
any
four-story
or
45-foot
high
buildings,
and
the
most
intense
scenario
shown
which
is
in
the
r1c
guide,
is
rear
to
rear
development,
not
side
to
side.
None
of
the

scenarios
show
the
full.
AO

AQ
AS
A
recent
sightline
study
of
Portland
revealed
the
best
approach
to
low-income
housing
is
to
avoid
Demolition
and
everything
that
that
entails,
for
example,
building
triplexes
and
fourplexes
that
require
demolition
resulted
in
rents
of
2500
to
3200
a
month,
but
simpler
options
are
much
cheaper
and
much
more
readily
available
and
they're
available
in
r1c
duplex
conversions,
infill,
duplexes,
co-housing,
adus
tiny
homes
and
put
them
on
wheels
too.
Please,
moreover,
r1c
allows
plexus
multi-family
with
more
incentives
than
in
R2
Gary
mu
hit
time.
Oh
sorry,
thank
you
very
much.

Okay,
bye,
hi
Greg
come
on
up,
of
course,
not
come
on
up
the
and
Grant.
Have
we
found
Grant
all
right,
then
we'll
go
with
John
Coggins
George,
Holland,
Holland,
Holland,
sorry,
Denise,
Zimmerman,
Don,
essec
and
Marcia
Rojas
hi
welcome
hi.
My
name
is
Greg
Ostro
I
live
at
201,
East
Louisa
Street
in
Boise
Idaho.
It's
been
a
long
10
months
after
200
plus
hours
of
graphics
and
modeling
I'm,
tired,
okay,
but
I'm
tired.
AS
Today
of
talking
about
this
size
or
that
size
or
this
high
or
that
low
or
this
many
parking
spaces
are
that
many
parking
spaces.
This
is
what
I'm
tired
of
yeah.
This
should
not
be
a
NIMBY
versus
yimby.
This
should
not
be
red
versus
blue.
This
should
not
be
you
versus
me
when
I
hear
and
listen
to
people
and
I
hear
this
division,
it
creates
anxiety.
AS
For
me
we
did
something
wrong
lack
of
process,
lack
of
Education,
lack
of
something
and
that's
not
what
we're
about
this
is
about
a
community
getting
together
and
solving
a
problem
as
a
village,
not
one
person's
way
or
another
person's
way.
I
think
I
sent
100
pages
of
documents,
I've
even
sent
it
to
you.
You
sat
in
a
meeting
that
I
sat
in
you
know
and
all
the
time
I
was
there
saying
yeah.
This
is
okay,
but
there's
some
things.
I
think
we
can
do
better
this
and
that
I
got
stonewalled.
AS
So
when
you
go
back
and
you
think
about
this
I
know
this
is
going
to
be
approved.
I'm,
not
an
idiot
just
think
about
why
we
have
this
sort
of
discussions
and
people.
The
other
thing
is
the
study
guide
that
I
just
saw
up
on
the
screen.
I've,
never
seen
that
when
was
that
when
did
that
come
available,
I,
don't
even
think
it's
right
so
and
that's
the
kind
of
thing
I'm
talking
about
here.
I
am
an
architect
you've
seen
my
drawings
you've
seen
my
graphs
you've
seen
my
sketches.
C
AT
Good
luck,
God
bless,
you
it'll
all
work
out
in
the
end
of
Mayor.
Thank
you.
Greg
gray.
You've
got
a
question
from
the
council.
President
I
don't
have
a
question
for
Greg
I.
Just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
study
guide
was
provided
by
somebody
who
is
giving
testimony.
It
wasn't
part
of
the
official.
No,
it
was
not
okay,.
AT
George
come
on
up
and
then
is
Denise
Zimmerman
Don
essig
Marcia
Rojas.
We've
got
lots
of
seats
here
on
deck,
for
you
welcome
good
George
Holland.
Is
there
something
going
on
with
the
mic
Greg
went
in
and
out
there
you
go.
I
live
currently
at
Beach
and
Bond
Street.
Last
time
I
testified.
I
was
at
4705
Denton
during
the
pnz
testimony
I
had
about
five
or
six
applications
out
for
a
place
to
live.
I
AT
Make
money
off
of
you?
They
just
want
to
give
you
a
place
to
live
so
I'd
like
to
make
the
joke
to
make
light
of
it
homeless,
I'm
just
experiencing
other
people's
homes
right
now,
but
in
actuality,
I
I,
really
think
that
this
all
boils
down
to
the
nature
of
change
and
disruption.
It's
the
only
thing
we're
ever
going
to
be
dealing
with
ever
and
I
think
a
dangerous
way
to
approach
change,
and
the
anticipated
growing
change
here
is
to
keep
using
the
document
that
we've
had
over
the
last
60
years.
AT
You
don't
really
hear
anyone
standing
up
here,
saying
I
love
the
old
code
and
the
results
of
it
so
much
that
I
want
to
reject
the
new
code,
and
so
the
next
thing,
I
like
to
say,
is
regarding
the
incentives
for
affordability.
I,
think
the
way
our
whole
entire
economy
and
Country
looks
at
affordability
is
really
myopic
and
we
have
a
way
to
do
it
a
little
differently.
This
time
a
percentage
of
Ami
is
a
really
good
starting
set.
AT
But
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
places
around
the
country,
it
just
produces
big
boxes
with
a
bunch
of
really
small
boxes
inside
of
them,
and
then
you
get
a
bunch
of
people
living
in
those
that
don't
like
living
in
boxes
so
much
so
they
try
to
get
out
of
them
quickly.
So
I
would
like
to
see
the
suite
of
incentives
opened
wide
open,
because
then
private
developers
can
actually
deliver
more
units.
AT
The
one
I
stick
to
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
legal
or
not
is.
If
someone
was
willing
to
have
three-year
leases
and
X
percent
of
their
building,
then
they
get
more
height
or
they
get
more
density
or
they
get
whatever,
because
the
goal
is
to
have
more
units,
not
units
that
we'd
love
to
have,
but
don't
pencil,
because
affordability
is
really
hard
for
the
private
Market
to
deliver.
AT
And
then
the
last
thing
I'd
say
is
you
know
a
lot
of
people
come
are
probably
going
to
come
up
here
and
say
this:
isn't
a
democratic
process
wait
for
the
elections,
I
can't
think
of
a
more
short-term
oriented
conversation
to
delay
that
next
50
years
of
our
City's
development
for
political
things
in
the
short
run.
That
to
me
is
a
really
scary
thought,
because
it's
what
we
see
all
over
our
country
and
it's
like.
Why
would
we
do
it
here
and
there's.

great
thanks:
okay
Denise
Zimmerman,
4375
Plum
Street,
the
CCR
committee
was
formed
in
2019..
The
team
was
led
by
Darren
fluke.
Darren
wanted
to
get
people
educated
and
comfortable
with
the
committee
was
trying
to
do
before
adopting
the
ordinance.
At
that
time
it
was
believed
it
would
take.
30
months
for
outreach
and
design
and
six
years
to
finish,
2020
McLean
becomes
Premier,
Darren,
fluke,
resigns
and
McLean
takes
over
and
creates
a
new
CCR
committee.
She
hires
outside
consultant
Clarion
Associates
for
two.
X
Would
only
need
two
years
to
finish
the
CCR
instead
of
six
I,
wonder
what
got
dropped
out
of
the
original
timeline,
probably
all
the
Outreach
to
educate
people
and
make
us
comfortable
with
zoning
and
the
rewrite
goals.
And
of
course
you
didn't
want
to
miss
out
on
the
rapid
population
increase
in
Revenue
growth.
You
were
seeing.
AT
When
rushing
something
as
difficult
as
a
City,
Zoning
code
rewrite
you're
going
to
miss
things
on
purpose,
because
you
don't
have
the
time
to
do
it
right,
a
few
things
that
could
have
been
better
but
were
probably
dropped
for
lack
of
time
the
documents
it
was
difficult
to
figure
out
what
the
team
was
trying
to
convey.
We
needed
differences
documents
showing
what
it
changed
and
where
to
find
it,
we
needed
an
edible
document.
We
could
use
to
search
the
code.
AT
AT
The
document
was
rushed,
and
so
were
the
details
of
the
episode
in
your
haste,
to
get
something
done
quickly.
The
goals
of
the
up
Zone
were
missed.
The
up
zone
won't
give
you
the
affordable
units
needed.
It
won't
give
you
a
best-in-class
transit
system
that
there
needs
to
be
a
good
transit
system
designed
with

behind
it.
Before
you
start
developing
a
massive
homes
along
already
packed
roads,
the
up
zone
won't
provide
a
path
to
home
ownership.
The
American
dream
is
still
to
own
your
own
home.
C
Lots
and
large

in

rather
than

the
entire

Please
deny
this
up
soon
until
you
have
a
plan
that
is
not

The
documents
make
them
available
and
come
up
with
a
better

to
provide

to
make

Sorry

Thank
you

this

on
your

of
Boise's

code.

AW
the
rewrite
is
not
perfect.
I
I
don't
expect
it
would
ever
be
perfect,
but
it's
a
huge
Improvement.
It's
an
important
step
forward
that
we
need
to
take
now
so
I
stand
here
before
you
asking
you
to
adopt
the
zoning
code
rewrite
now
not
to
wait,
but
I
do
so
with
one
condition.
I
ask
that
you
commit
to
revisiting
the
code.

Development
promises
in
neighborhood
park
a
playground,
a
soccer
field
and
trails
connecting
with
open

and
adjacent
neighborhoods.
They
go
great,
they

they
soon
start
a

kids

They
go
to

attending

then
off
to

Some
years
later,
they
have
never
had
a
chance
to
use
that
park
or
enjoy
the
trails
because
they've
never
been
built.
AW
AW
Listen
to
the
exchange
between
councilwoman,
woodings
and
director
Keane
yesterday
evening,
I'm
unclear
what
this
problem
lies
in
the
code
policy,
culture
or
simply
enforcement
I,
don't
really
know,
but
I've
provided
in
my
written
comments,
a
suggested
addition
to
the
code.
That
I
think
will
correct
this
problem
and
it
would
require
timely
compliance
with
conditions
in
a
conditional

Permit.

C
AX
As
a
rural
family,
centered
State,
it's
full
of
trees
and
family
living
I've
lived
here
for
42
years
and
I'm
a
homeowner
in
the
southwest
bench.
Boise
area,
I
appreciate
the
low
density.
I
have
a
pride
for
my
yard
and
my
neighbors
do
as
well.
In
the
last
few
years
there
have
been
drastic
changes
to
our
city,
I've,
seen
a
town
home
complex,
an
apartment,
complex
built
by
my
house,
and
the
traffic
has
become
difficult.
One
town
home
is
for
sale
for
499
thousand
dollars,
so
I'm
not
saying
that
that
is
Affordable.
AX
The
idea
of
density
will
burn
a
burden
on
our
infrastructure
and
utilities.
The
the
bench
has
nice
neighborhoods,
so
old.
These
neighborhoods
meet
the
American
way
of
life,
a
single
residence
with
grass
in
the
front
and
backyards
taking
these
home
owner
owner
of
home
homes
out
and
replacing
them
with
three
level.
Four
plexes
that
are
40
feet
high
will
destroy
these
neighborhoods
on
page
16
of
the
code
adoption
draft.
It
shows
how
a
developer
can
take
a
5,
000
square
foot
lot
and
turn
it
into
four
town
homes
in
3
500
square
feet.
AX
This
will
take
away
home
ownership.
The
residents
will
be
renters
with
no
pride
of
ownership.
Where
are
all?
Where
are
the
yards
with
trees?
The
backyards
are
basically
asphalt
and
cement.
How's
that
for
climate
change
also,
there
will
be
limited
parking
and
I've
seen
the
results
of
these
rental
units
and
roads
are
packed
with
cars.
If
Boise
City
develops
rental
apartments,
Town
Homes
the
cars
parked
on
the
street
will
cause
Rose
congestion
and
Source
sight.
AX
Only
one
needs
to
look
at
what's
happening
on
27th
and
Stewart
in
Boise
to
see
the
consequences
of
these
density
Apartments,
we'll
also,
we
will
be
electing
Boise
city,
council
members
and
a
mayor.
This
fall
I'm
in
Boise
District,
two
Boise
Council
District
2.,
so
there
are
no
currently
no
elected
representative
for
my
district
I'd,
just
like
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
my
elected
representative.
With
that
in
mind,
I
would
recommend
that
the
consideration
of
this
rewrite
be
postponed
until
after
the
mayor
and
city
council
are
solidified.
AX
The
only
one
that
wins
with
these
Planning
and
Zoning
rewrites
are
the
developer.
Please
don't
destroy
our
city
with
this
rewrite.
This
is
the
city
of
trees.
We
are
Idaho.
Thank
you
so
much
for
listening.
Thank
you.
You've
got
a
question
yeah.
Thank
you
for
offering
your
testimony
Jackie
a
few
times
you
brought
up
trees.
Are
you
familiar
with
the
landscape
requirements
in
this
code?
AX
AD
AJ
And
it
coincided
with
what
I
saw
in
the
code.
Yeah
I
think
that
this
actually
has
a
little
bit
more
robust
tree
requirements
in
those
planner
strips
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
I
do
want
to
also
point
out
that
you
have
a
couple
of
Representatives
up
here
who
were
elected
by
the
entire
city.
Oh.
AY
I
agree
but
yeah
I
think
I'm
just
thinking
of
that
District
too
okay,
but
thank
you
for
your
work
and
I
really
appreciate
you
guys
Trisha
come
on
up
and
then
after
Trish
goes.
We
wait.
Are
you
bud?
Okay,
I
did
call
your
name,
so
we're
going
to
take
Trisha
and
then
bud
and
then
we're
gonna
take
a
break.
Welcome.
Thank
you.
Madam
mayor
Patricia.
Nelson
I
live
at
3225
snowflake
way
in
Lakewood,
which
is
I
think
almost
50
years
old.
AY
AY
That
I
think
are
on
page
282
of
the
last
batch,
and
these
are
things
I
thought
of
the
first
is
there
is
a
policy
in
the
comp
plan
that
I
think
it's
time
we
we
ditched
and
that's
to
disregard
the
land
use
map
for
Parcels
that
are
one
and
a
half
acres
or
smaller
that
was
removed
again.
I
was
a
project
manager
for
blueprint
Boise.
AY
After
a
lot
of
research,
we
found
that
that
policy
had
only
been
used
where
blueprint
Boise
has
now
mixed
use,
land
use
designations.
It
was
added
back
in
for
some
reason
in
2017,
after
I
had
left
the
city
and
I
did
review
the
record.
None
of
you
all
were
here.
The
mayor
may
have
been
on
Council.
There
were
only
four
out
of
seven
Folks
at
PNC
and
I.
AY
Think
now,
with
this
modern
zoning
code,
which
I
do
support
in
with
the
flexibility
that
between
the
comp
plan
now
in
the
zoning
code
that
if
you
really
can't
meet
the
comp
plan
or
the
zoning
code,
you
really
should
go
through
a
comp
plan.
Amendment
process,
I
think
that's.
That
policy
was
created
when
we
had
all
of
the
neighborhoods
working
on
blueprint.
Boise
and
one
of
the
major
themes
is
predictability
and
I.
AY
AY
AZ
Council
member
of
agent's
concerns
because
I'm
a
weird
planner
I
read
the
Supreme
Court
opinion.
Someone
came
out
today,
Rhys
versus
city
of
Blackfoot
and
I.
Think
if
we
can
work
on
I,
don't
know
that
it's
necessary
in
the
code,
but
in
practice
the
give
more
input
and
more
more
information
on
the
record
that
deals
with
the
issue
of
a
Prejudice
to
substantial
rights.
That
is
a
kind
of
a
I
know.
AZ
It's
kind
of
wonky,
but
I
think
it
can
really
help
in
these
cases
of
displacement
and
where
the
city
is
probably
looking
at
denying
something
that
if
you
really
find
that
someone's
substantial
rights
were
negatively
affected,
I
think
that
could
really
make
a
really
good,
defensible
case
and
I
think
it
would
help
those
who
who
writes
how
to
you
know
their
typical
just
regular
citizens.
That
may
not
know
the
nuances
of
Lane
you
saw,
but
I
think
that
might
the
city
could
be
really
helpful
in
that
regard.

C
AK
AK
To
speak
to
you
today,
my
name
is
Bud.
Comfort
I
represent
neighborworks
Boise
and
address
is
3380
West
Americana
Terrace
here
in
Boise
neighborworks
is
a
501c3
non-profit,
community-minded,
affordable
housing
developer.
Who
served
this
community
for
the
last
41
years.
We
provide
array
of
Housing
Services,
one
of
them
last
Saturday
Paint,
the
Town
painting,
30
or
TV
26
homes
and
rake
up
Boise
and
other
communities
around
us,
but
more
around
the
housing
is
specifically
our
home.
AK
But
the
task
and
the
opportunities
to
provide
hope
for
local
residents
is
important
and
wouldn't
change
anything
that
I
do
the
two
areas
I'd
like
to
speak
to
you
today
on
behalf
of
the
our
neighborworks
is
the
transportation
and
the
density
areas
specifically.
First,
how
are
communities
and
how
our
new
housing
and
opportunities,
those
that
are
being
built,
how
they
deal
with
transportation,
and
it
is
difficult
for
a
57
year
old
zoning
plan
to
address
so
what
we
end
up.
AK
Finding
is
typically
this
urban
sprawl
and
the
development
that
takes
place
certainly
costs
more
for
the
city
to
continue
to
to
move
outward.
That
also
eats
up
our
Farmland
on
our
Foothills
that
we
need,
and
we
love
and
enjoy
the
updated
plan.
I
believe
responsibly
supports
the
future
city,
go
rules
and
aligns
with
the
transit
oriented
housing
specific
to
the
corridors
used
by
our
community
and.
C
Our
employment
centers,
this
Vision
fits
well
with
neighborworks
Mission
and
for
the
last
10
years
we
have
worked
to
develop
infill
developments
for
single-family
home
ownership
opportunities
within
what
we
call
our
pocket
neighborhoods
our
pocket
neighborhoods
are.
The
purpose
of
our
neighborhoods
is
to
provide
high
quality
obtainable
housing
that
grew
out
of
a
desire
for
many
to
live
close
to
where
they
live,
work
play
or
worship.
C
BA
BA
Great
step
forward,
it
is
not
a
surprise
that
housing
has
been
identified
as
the
number
one
need
in
our
community,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
this
week
to
positively
affect
the
outcome
of
our
future
families
all
or
most
of
us
George.
You
can
stay
at
my
house.
You're
welcome,
anytime,
started
our
day
in
a
home
and
we'll
go
back
to
home.
BA
A
good
friend
of
mine,
Jane,
pavik
uses
this
phrase
Joe
homes
or
where
Jobs
go
to
sleep
at
night,
so
I
would
urge
you
to
consider
approval
that
this
new
Zone
rewrite
that
it
will
provide
smart
growth,
obtain
full
housing
for
our
growing
Community.
Thank
you
for
your
help.
Thanks
for
your
time,
thank
you
got
something
for
you,
but
thanks
for
being
here,
one
of
the
criticisms,
I've
heard
of
this
zoning
code
is
that
the
affordability
incentives
that
are
provided
to
build,
triplexes
or
fourplexes
are
absolutely
impossible.
BA
They
could
not
be
developed
or
built
under
that
framework.
As
a
non-profit
developer.
Have
you
looked
at
that
framework,
and
do
you
think
that
that's
actually
true
or
do
you
think
it's
something
that
could
be
built
in
is
attainable?
Sure
Madam
mayor
council,
member
Holly
Wiggins,
this
is
I,
think
neighborworks
looks
at
it
in
a
unique
Spotlight
in
the
sense
that
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
bring
in
other
Grant
funds
to
help
offset
those
costs.
BA
When
I
hear
those
comments,
though
I
mean
development
is
just
a
matter
of
how
many
homes
can
you
fit
on
the
property,
how
do
you
divide
those
costs,
so
I
can't
see
how
being
able
to
put
more
homes
on
that
property
would
not
make
things
more
affordable.
That's
just
the
basic
math
in
my
mind
so,
and
and
with
that
is
with
or
without
you
know,
the
type
of
funding
that
we
can
bring
to
the
table.
Great.
Thank
you
for
that.
Insight
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
We've
got
one
more
for
you
bud.
BA
C
About
your
experience,
yeah
so
right
now
we
are
currently
developing
the
39
unit
subdivision
on
a
corner
of
colon
Fairview.
Here
in
Boise
those
homes
are
plumbed
with
what
we
call
pre-plum
for
solar,
so
we
are
providing
an
opportunity
for
those
homes
to
potentially
use
solar
in
the
future.
There
is
a
cost
with
that.
I
And
it's
about
400
bucks
for
us
to
upgrade
the
paneling
system
and
provide
that
everything
you
provide
in
efficiencies
does
does
cost
more
and
but
I
feel
like
at
least
as
we
look
at
the
homes
that
we're
developing
the
affordability
piece
is:
how
much
can
is
that
home
going
to
cost
at
the
game
at
the
very
beginning?
How
much
is
what
is
the
total
cost,
but,
and
is
that
affordable?
I
So
our
down
payment
assistance
is
trying
to
help
with
bringing
those
costs
down,
so
that's
affordable,
but
the
energy
piece,
the
energy
consumption
or
the
high
energy
of
Peace
for
us
is
now
is
that
Home
Affordable
the
next
month
and
the
next
month
and
the
next
month?
So
for
us
we
are
energy.
Star,
certified
builder
indoor,
air
quality
plus
is
just
as
important.
The
air
we
breed
is
just
as
important
at
the
food
as
we
put.
AJ
Then
water
sense
features
are
a
standard
feature
for
the
homes
that
we
built.
For
that
reason
it's
about
that
one-time
purchase,
but
it's
about
that
monthly
bill
that
we
believe
does
matter
and
that
we
have
included
those
in
our
costs.
I
hope
that's
helpful.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
we
are
going
to
break
until
four
o'clock
foreign.

I
live

in
Layton,
Utah
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
yesco
young,
electric
Sign,
Company
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
First,
let
me
congratulate
you
on
undertaking
of
the
task
of
putting
a
new
code
in
place,
and
that
includes
the
Planning
Commission
staff.
BD
BD
Page
315
has
a
section
on
electronic
message.
Displays
or
emds
line.
Four
under
standards
reads:
each
message
or
frame
shall
be
displayed
for
a
minimum
of
20
seconds,
amen,
Mary,
just
to
potentially
save
you
a
little
bit
of
time.
Our
staff
and
a
few
of
our
council
members
were
able
to
have
some
conversations
with
some
folks
and
we
got
it
changed
back
to
eight
seconds.
BD
So
is
that
for
the
off-premise
or
in
total
for
on-premise
as
well,
oh
I
would
have
to
get
yeah
I,
don't
know.
The
memos
The
Memo
from
staff
was
was
for
off-premises
I'll.
Follow
up
on
that
question,
so
go
ahead
and
finish,
but
we
did
change
some
of
the
language
back
to
to
eight
seconds,
but
yeah
go
ahead
and
finish
and
if
there's
extra
nuances
there
we'll
make
sure
that
we
take
a
look
at
it.
BD
It
seems
to
me
that
if
an
eight
second
dwell
time
for
a
larger
billboard
is
supported
by
staff,
then
a
smaller
and
less
visible,
on-premise
sign
should
have
at
least
the
same
dwell
time
and
not
two
and
a
half
times
the
dwell
time
of
a
billboard
as
I've
driven
around
the
city.
Many
of
the
on-premise
signs
aren't
even
visible
or
legible
within
an
eight
second
window
and
I
was
actually
looking
for
them.
C
BD
C
BE
I'll
make
sure
that
I
get
clarification
on
that
in
the
future.
I
think
that
there's
willingness
to
look
into
that.
If
it's
not
already.
Thank
you.
Okay.
So
there
are
some
folks
with
hands
raised
online,
we're
going
to
go
there
first,
Daniel
malarkey,
State,
and
so
just
so
you
know
you're
you're,
coming
up
so
you're
ready,
I'm,
Daniel,
Malarkey,
Stacy,
Donahue,
Tiffany,
deams,
Jamie,
Soma
and
then
Dave
Morris
and
then
we're
gonna.
Kick
it
back
to
City
Hall.
BE
This
week,
I'm
thrilled
that
the
new
code
makes
the
following
changes
in
residential
zones
to
allow
for
more
homes
for
everyone,
the
code
decreases
the
minimum
lot
size.
The
code
simplifies
the
permitting
process
to
lower
the
risk
and
cost
to
gain
approval
from
the
city
to
build
more
homes.
The
code
increases
the
maximum
size
of
adus
and
ends
the
city's
discrimination
against
renters
in
the
primary
house.
The
code
allows
triplexes
and
fourplexes
that
were
previously
banned
in
the
old
code
and
the
code
reduces
off
street
parking
requirements
for
multiplexes
by
50
percent.
BE
Unfortunately,
in
my
view,
these
last
three
points
come
with
new
conditions.
Many
of
these
newly
allowed
units
will
be
subject
to
rent
control
through
deed
restrictions
and
incur
higher
costs
due
to
requirements
to
meet
sustainability
goals.
I
am
all
for
sustainability
and
affordability,
but
these
requirements
are
costly
and
they
don't
apply
to
single-family
homes.
So,
given
the
choice
of
redeveloping
a
lot
with
a
large
single-family
home
or
a
fourplex,
these
added
costs
and
conditions
will
push
developers
toward
building
large
family
homes
instead
of
triplexes
and
fourplexes
Boise
would
get
more
infill
development
with
small
units.
BE
Without
these
requirements,
a
grant
that
is
difficult
to
know
exactly
how
developers
will
respond
to
Boise's
new
code,
allowing
smaller
lots
and
more
forms
of
housing
could
motivate
more
new
construction.
Given
the
strong
market
for
housing,
but
I
fear
that,
given
the
rent,
control
and
sustainability
requirements,
not
much
will
change
in
residential
zones.
BE
One
key
metric
for
evaluating
the
effectiveness
of
the
new
code
a
year
from
now
is
whether
Boise
increases
its
share
of
regional
growth.
If
the
new
zoning
code
makes
it
easier
to
build
housing
relative
to
the
status
quo
in
the
rest
of
the
region,
then
Boise
share
of
new
housing
units
ought
to
increase.
Despite
its
many
attractions.
AJ
Just
one-third
the
rate
of
the
rest
of
ADA
and
Canyon
County
since
2000..
If
the
new
code
really
reduces
barriers
to
housing
production,
then
Boise,
who
should
start
building
a
bigger
share
of
the
Region's
growth
if
Boise
doesn't
see
meaningful
change
in
New
housing
permits.
As
a
share
of
the
total
permits
in
the
region,
then
I
encourage
you
to
make
three
changes.
C
Yes,
there's
a
question
for
you
Daniel:
oh,
he
might
have
turned
himself
off
oh
Daniel,
if
you're
still
there
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
your
service
on
the
on
the
committee
and
also
for
your
very
succinct
and
I
guess
helpful
testimony
where
you
had
things
that
you
supported
concerns
that
you
had
things
that
we
could
look
at.
That
was
really
helpful
to
me.
I
appreciate
it.
O
O
Many
of
these
senior
members
of
our
community
are
ill-equipped
to
participate
on
equal
footing
in
these
real
estate
deals.
This
is
happening
to
my
next-door
neighbor
under
the
current
code.
Right
now,
he's
79
years
old,
he
lives
on
Social,
Security
and
he's
losing
his
home
in
a
one-sided,
a
very
one-sided
deal
to
a
real
estate
developer.
O
O
You're
muted
Tiffany
thank
you,
I
didn't
realize
Madame,
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Tiffany
deems
I
live
at
11301
West,
High,
Rock
Drive
in
Southwest,
Boise
and
I'm,
testifying
in
support
of
the
modern
zoning
code.
I
first
want
to
thank
everybody
involved
in
this
process.
I
know
it's
been
years
in
the
making
and
I
appreciate
everyone
working
towards
an
affordable
Boise
for
all
I'm,
going
to
be
speaking
as
a
mom.
My
biggest
concern
is
affordability
for
our
children
and
our
future
generations.
R
To
see
development
of
more
neighborhoods
like
Hyde
Park,
where
walking
and
biking
are
prevalent,
small
businesses,
Thrive
and
Community
is
everywhere.
I
know
there
are
no
one-size-fits-all
solutions
to
housing
and
I.
Don't
expect
everyone
to
love
the
new
code,
but
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
for
more
affordable
Boise.
Everyone
deserves
to
have
a
space.
They
call
home
I
urge
you
all
to
vote
Yes
for
an
affordable
and
more
sustainable
future
for
Boise,
young
and
old.
Thank
you,
Tiffany.
Thank
you.
R
Hello,
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
for
taking
our
public
testimony.
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
okay,
I
reside
at
4247,
East
Arbor
Vitae
Court
in
Southeast,
Boise
I
just
want
to
thank
the
staff
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
for
all
the
work.
That's
been
done
for
the
public
Outreach
to
help
make
this.
This
rewrite
possible.
R
Overall,
too,
it
reduces
legal
and
financial
barriers
to
more
diverse
development
by
locals,
who
want
to
be
a
part
of
developing
a
strong
Boise
that
can
be
more
readily
adapt
to
the
changes
that
we
encounter
number
three.
It
gives
specific
requirements
for
affordability
and
sustainability
in
order
to
build
more
densely,
which
helps
reduce
greater
speculative
land
grab
and
development.
Pressure,
driving
up
housing
costs
number
four:
it
increasingly
honors
the
private
property
rights
of
land
holders
over
those
of
a
vocal
few
of
their
neighbors.
Who
would
prefer
different
development
number
five?
R
It
increasingly
allows
for
more
diverse
development
patterns
based
on
diverse
groups
of
residents,
to
build
a
kind
of
people-oriented
places
that
honors
people
over
cars
and
it
helps
to
build
stronger,
safer
communities
where
people
from
different
walks
and
stages
of
Life
can
flourish
together.
So
I
urge
you
to
vote
in
support
of
recommending
passage
of
the
zoning
code
rewrite
and
I
I.
Thank
you
in
advance
for
the
political
courage
that
this
will
take.

my

today
are
in

zoning
code.
Rewrite
and
I
want
to
say,
I've
heard
some
criticisms
about
communication,
but
I
appreciate
what
I
feel
is
extensive
work.
That's
gone
to
this.
This
rewrite
and
communicating
about
it.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
community
conversations,
I've
been
invited
and
I've
received
Outreach
via
snail,
mail,
email,
social
media,
so
I
feel
that
the
communication
and
Community
involvement
have
been
exceptionally
exceptional.
Thank
you
for
that.
You
know.
I
want
to
say.

BG
You
know
more
recently,
my
son
graduated
from
college
with
a
technical
degree
that
makes
him
very
employable,
and
he
has
said
for
several
years
that
he
would
love
to
return
to
Boise,
but
he's
already
determined
that
it's
not
feasible
for
him
to
do
so
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
we've
heard
so
far
today
from
younger
people
who
are
may
have
a
more
difficult
time
renting.
The
loan
purchasing
homes
I
think
that
the
proposed
code
rewrite
will
allow
for
greater
density
in
a
market.
BG
BG
BG
Are
there
people
that
I've
called
or
that
need
to
go
okay
and
we're
going
to
go
back
to
city
hall
now
Stephen
Dunlop
Dunlap
welcome.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
being
here,
Steve
Dunlap,
Steve,
sorry,
2342,
East,
Independence
Drive
in
Boise,
83706
I
live
in
District
Four,
so
I
have
no
specific
city
council
person
I
reached
out
to
the
three
at
large
counselors,
with
a
specific
concern
and
a
specific
question
about
the
mitigation
of
potential
negative
impact
of
this
change.
BG
On
my
home
of
20
years,
I
received
no
response
and,
with
that
in
mind,
I
insist
that
a
vote
on
this
issue
should
be
delayed
until
after
the
election,
so
every
boycian
will
have
a
duly
elected
council
person
dedicated
to
the
people
and
the
interests
of
their
District.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Not
a
mirror.
I
just
want
to
note
and
I
ran
into
this
with
a
couple
of
my
constituents
as.
BH
Other
council
members
were
handling
that
I
know
I
read
but
did
not
respond
to
every
single
email
that
I
got,
but
I
did
take
them
in
I
read
them.
We
made
sure
that
they
became
part
of
the
record
when
that
was
appropriate.
So
just
because
you
didn't
get
a
specific
response
to
your
specific
question,
it
likely
wasn't
because
people
didn't
care.
BH
It
was
probably
just
because
if
we
would
have
responded
to
every
single
email,
that
would
have
been
our
full-time
job
for
the
past
year
and
it
would
have
been
a
lot
so
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
and
thank
you
for
reaching
out
thank
you.
Okay,
Ed
McCluskey
I,
don't
see,
Ed,
here's
Ed
online,
okay,
Ed
you're
up
and
then
Shelly
ogami
and
Roger
ogani.
BH
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
oh
great,
thank
you.
Hi
I'm
Ed
McCluskey
BSU,
professor
emeritus
residing
at
1919
Vernal
Lane
in
Boise
in
the
interest
of
a
genuinely
Democratic
process.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
act
on
this
radical
rewrite,
except
to
place
the
matter
on
hold
until
after
the
city,
council
is
fully
elected
and
seated
as
it
should
be
sure
you
can
cite
Idaho
law
which
allows
Executives
like
the
mayor
to
appoint
people
to
otherwise
elected
positions,
because
it's
allowed.
I
can,
however,
is
reasoning
that
is
dissonant
to
public
hears.
BH
When
such
a
major
and
sweeping
transformation
is
up
for
a
vote.
The
moral
High
Ground
here
is
to
ensure
Democratic
representation
through
city
council
elections
by
districts.
Next
November,
as
Idaho
law,
also
allows,
but
it
also
demands
it.
Only
a
real
emergency
between
now
and
November
might
rescue
actions
this
week
from
the
ground
you
stand
on,
one-third
of
you
are
appointed
under
normal
operations.
These
would
be
treated
as
interim
appointments.
The
decision
is
not
interim
at
all,
despite
vague
assurances
of
revision
and
the
impulse
to
just
try
it
out.
C
BI
Rushing
to
win
on
the
side
of
developers
and
those
wealthy
enough
to
rent,
as
I
said
in
my
written
testimony,
the
city's
claims
of
fair
representation
rest
on
deeply
flawed
engagement
practices,
bad
public
opinion,
research
and
the
marginalization
of
critical
voices
through
a
management
Enterprise
by
the
public
engagement
industry.
I
conclude
this
through
peer
reviewed
research
now
published
in
an
academic
journal's
special
issue
focusing
on
the
public
engagement
industry,
suppression
of
the
public
sphere.
BI
These
suppressive
practices
have
alienated
many
boiseans
treated
to
public
opinion
management,
attempts
that
selectively
filtered
outcomes
in
research
and
policy
to
satisfy
the
client,
the
city
of
Boise,
professional
and
narrow
circles,
perhaps
but
too
narrow.
In
the
annals
of
communication
and
public
sphere,
research
performed
by
independent,
Scholars
and
planners,
the
director
kept
saying
that
this
is
the
city
we
want,
while
at
the
same
time
excluding
those
who
want
meaningful
input
for
level
two
applications
and
less
dense
sized
applications
under
four
stories.
BI
It's
appalling
to
hear
that
public
hearings
are
just
too
inconvenient
for
staff
and
too
unpredictable
for
developers
and
builders.
In
the
name
of
transparency
and
predictability,
a
gun
is
held
to
the
public
with
the
city
poised
to
to
shoot
the
messiness
of
democracy.
We
are
all
laboring
under
a
foregone
conclusion
and
false
choices,
and
that,
above
all
else,
should
be
the
occasion
for
feeling
insulted.
Thank
you.

The
episode
is
a
catastrophe
in
the
making
to
quote
John
Bertram
the
1970s
tore
down
bill
or
the
1970s
tour
buildings
down
in
the
name

urban
renewal.
That
period
of
urban
renewal
was
kind
of
all
about
Urban
removal.
Did
we
not
learn
a
thing
from
this?
The
episode
is
a
land
grab
in
Mass
proportions,
to
line
the
pockets
of
speculators
and
investors
such
as
BlackRock
developers,
Builders
and
even
Realtors.
AU
BJ
And
60s
one
stories
mid-century
modern
homes,
these
to
be
replaced
by
buildings,
with
no
architectural
creativity,
but
one
of
five
designs.
So
every
block
looks
alike.
It's
the
biggest,
follow
the
money
scheme
or
transfer
of

Since

70s,
this

elitist.
It's
ageist,
it's
racist

it's
environmentally
unsound.
By
changing
the
proposed
law.
BJ
I'm
sorry,
you've
heard
this
is
by
changing
the
laws.
You
steal
the
hard-earned
investments
from
underneath
homeowners,
affordable
how
and
affordable
housing
for
renters
these
Investments
that
were
carefully
thought
out,
such
as
single-story
homes,
infused
with
light
to
save
electricity
and
allow
seniors
to
stay
in
their
homes
without
stairs
or
barriers,
a
garden
space
to
grow
one's
food
and
flowers
for
home
that
will
have
pollinators
in
their
area.
Green
Space
that
is
needed
for
replenishing
aquifers,
trees
for
shade
and
Cooling
and
Wildlife,
and
a
swing
set
for
kids
and
even
a
dog.
BJ
BK
No
new

there's
nothing
neighborly
about
taking
away
the
notification
to
homeowners,
about
potential
changes
in
their
area,
but
allows
pnz
free
reign
seems
very
unethical,
as
well
as
creating
a
transient
housing
that
may
end
up
sitting
empty,
while
investors
enjoy
write-offs
and
certainly
not
affordable
rents
for
blue
collar
workers.
It
is
the
blue

for
the
most
part

are
impacted.
When

tear
down

will
see

down.

removed
the

Afternoon,

David

manager
with

Farmland
trust
I'm,
a
resident
of
Boise
in
my
home
office
is
on
West
Regan
Avenue
in
the
West
End.
Thanks
for
having
me
here
today
apologize
for
reading
my
testimony
as
I'm
attempting
to
squeeze
10
pounds
of
potatoes
into
a
three
pound
bag.
BK
AB
Almost
two
square
miles
of
Farmland
in
Ada
County
each
year,
considering
the
Boise
is
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
major
employment
center
of
the
Treasure
Valley
and
coupled
with
our
shortage
of
middle
housing
options,
those
employees
are
having
to
drive
until
they
qualify
and
promoting
sprawl
to
the
rest
of
the
Treasure
Valley.
So
if
we
extend
that
scale
to
the
rest
of
Treasure
Valley
our
model
estimates,
the
development
is
consuming
three
and
a
half
square
miles
of
Farmland
every
year.
AB
Our
instruments
also
estimate
that
that
conversion
is
costing
our
agricultural
economy
in
the
state
20
million
dollars
per
year.
I
want
to
Circle
back
on
the
better
building
set
City
scenario.
This
modeling
for
this
scenario
estimates
that
these
actions
will
significantly
reduce
development
pressure
on
a

much

50
percent.
AB
Your
approval
of
the
zcr
has
a
potential
to
protect
two
square
miles
of
Farmland
from
conversion
each
year
and
thousands
of
existing
agricultural
industry
jobs
in
the
Treasure
Valley.
Our
local
food
system
experienced
an
approximate
60
growth
in
sales
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
The
takeaway
is
that
we
had
capacity
to
respond
when
our
brittle
food
supply
chains
were
disrupted,
as
our
population
continues
to
grow.
AB
We
need
to
protect
our
local
food
system
and
prioritize
expansion
of
that
system
for
future
upsets,
which
are
a
given
with
the
foreseeable
ongoing
challenges
for
climate
energy
resources
and
geopolitical
instability
that
threaten
Global
Food
Global
food
production
when
asked,
are
local
food
producers
indicate
that
access
to
Affordable
land
and
water
is
critical
to
their
success.
No
Farms,
no
food
so
back
to
the
zcr
overall,
it
offers
the
needed
Clarity
for
urban
AG
production
to
integrate
with
surrounding
and
differing
land
uses.
AB
The
concern
that
we
have
is
that
the
A1
and
A2
zoning,
which
would
favor
Urban
agriculture,
is
its
lack
of
permanence.
Our
modeling
estimates,
the
low
density
residential
Parcels
in
Idaho
are
100
times
more
likely
to
be
further
subdivided
in
higher
density
within
20
years
of
their
initial
conversion
from
rural
agriculture,
possible
opportunities
to
protect
Urban
AG
production
include
the
creation
of
special
use,
overlays
like
the
Sycamore
overlay.
In
addition,
prioritizing
Community
Gardens
and
microfarms
in
planned

developments
and
partnering
with
our
local
land.

Nature
of
the
A1
and
A2
open
lands
in
this,
so
it
is
aft's
position
that
in
the
in
the
modern
zoning
code,
there's
more
certainty
with
Farmland
preservation,
or
was
there
a
recommendation
in
there
that
I
just
missed
yeah?
There's
a
recommendation
there
that
we
see
more
permanence,
more
permanent,
more
permanent
yeah.
The
challenge
with
low
density
residential
is
this
does
fragment
our
productive
AG
land
and
then,
once
we
start
down
that
process,
the
ability
to
continue
to
Zone
to
higher
density,
then
we
lose
the
productivity
of
those
smaller

lands.

Okay,

Madam
mayor
City,
Council
Members.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
the
opportunity
to
comment.
I
have
lived
at
3109,
South,
Crossville
way
for
over
20
years.
BL
I'm,
a
citizen
volunteer
representing
myself
and
I,
was
on
the
citizen
advisory
committee
for
the
rewrite
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
the
city's
planning
and
development
team
for
their
work
and
extensive
public
involvement
on
this
project.
I'm
here
to
express
my
overall
support
for
the
modern
zoning
code.
I
doubt
there
is
much
that
I
can
say
today
that
hasn't
been
or
will
be
said
by
others.
That
said,
Solutions
don't
happen
overnight.
The
modern
zoning
code
lays
out
a
plan
for
the
long-term
growth
of
our
city
to
provide
housing
options
at
different
price
points.
BL
I
volunteer
with
several
climate
action
groups,
I
support
the
climate
action
plan
and
the
modern
zoning
code
gives
me
hope
for
the
climate
and
sustainability
I
submitted
written
testimony.
One
piece
I
am
briefly
repeating
here
is
that
is
the
need
to
develop
and
schedule
an
evaluation
process
for
the
code.
BL
I
attended,
92
percent
of
the
public
meetings
hosted
by
the
city
as
well
as
regularly
attending
my
neighborhood
association
meetings
as
a
non-board
member,
the
associations
of
volunteer
organizations
and
I
applaud
their
efforts,
as
well
as
the
work
they
have
accomplished.
As
a
volunteer.
I
know
how
hard
it
is
to
recruit,
maintain
and
facilitate
volunteer
organizations.
BL
Last
night,
Eric
Berg
did
a
great
job
in
representing
the
southeast
neighborhood
association
board,
which
prompted
me
to
change
my
testimony
for
today.
Cena
does
not
represent
me,
nor
does
it
represent
my
family
friends
and
neighbors
who
support
the
code.
The

last
night
that
went
out
in
early
2022

promote
the
city
informational
meeting

initiated
and
drafted
by
me.
BL
A
non-board
member
additionally,
speakers
invited
to
speak
to
the
board
did
not
represent
all
perspectives
on
this
code,
for
the
record,
Cena
has
six
distinct
areas
with

fully
staffed

Well,
we
saw
you
a
minute
ago
is

still
with
us
all
right,
yep
he's
coming.
Oh
there
you
go
there.
We
go.
You
guys
hear
me
yes,
perfect,
well,
city,
council,
mayor,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
and
and
share
my
opinions
here
and
I
thanks
this
resolution,
or
the
zoning
rewrite
should
be
postponed
until
the
new
city
council
has
a
chance
to
look
at
this.
BM
BM

They
put
a
cell
tower
about
600
yards
behind
my
house
out
here
in
Eagle
and
I
went
into
afib
within
one
week
of
this
hour,
the
tower
going
on
and
the
antennas
going
on.
The
current
city
council
has
basically
taken
all
of
the
citizens
rights
for
the
city
of
Boise
and
hand
it
over
to
the
wireless
industry
and
they
could
put
a
cell
tower
in
front
of
your
house
or
small
cell
in
front
of
your
house
and
there's
nothing.
BM
The
citizens
of
Boise
can
do
right
now
this
this
is,
this
is
horrible
and
you
guys
are
dealing
with
a
very
toxic
environmental
pollutant
with
these,
the
star
of
radiation
and
you're,
doing
nothing
to
protect
the
citizens.
I
understand
we
want
change,
and
everybody
thinks
that
5G
and
cell
phones
is
the
best
thing
since
I
spread,
but
it's
not
it's
going
to
harm
people.
BM
C
C
E
On
multiple
occasions
now
and
shut
down
Towers
the
city
of
Eagle,
they
have
adopted
a
wireless
ordinance
that
doesn't
allow
cell
towers
in
residential
neighborhoods
they're,
protecting
their
citizens,
and
the
current
city
council
is
not
doing
that
for
Boise
and
I.
Think
this.
This
needs
to
be
addressed
before
the
city
spends.

Thank
you,
madam

esteemed
City,
Council
Members,
I
support
mix
you
zoning
and
have
much
admiration
for
the
huge
commitment
and
collaborative
efforts
of
all
involved
in
the
proposed
modern
zoning
code.
However,
I
oppose
the
proposed
code
for
the
reason
that
it
will
allow
simple
administrative
approval
in
many
of
the
rezone
neighborhood
allowing
for
development
of
types
of
land
uses,
such
as
for
triplexes
duplexes
I
mean
triplexes,
fourplexes,
neighborhood,
retailing,
cafes,
Etc,
simultaneously
removing
parking
requirements.
BN
The
public
involvement
processes
that
I
spoke
about
conditional
use,
permitting
public
hearings
and
public
notification
based
on
the
public
input,
Planning
and
Zoning
recommended
not
to
eliminate
these
conditions.
The
conditional
use
permit
another
existing
public
involvement
processes
from
that
wireless
ordinance.
The
mayor
and
city
council
simply
chose
to
ignore
their
recommendation.
C
C
BO
Promote
land
use,
zoning
that
benefits
all
the
city
residents,
not
just
developers
and
I
urge
the
city
council
to
reject
or
minimally
postpone
the
zoning
code
is
currently
written.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thanks

BO
Hi
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
for
your
time
on
this
matter,
my
name
is
Andrew
Herndon
I
live
downtown
an
apartment
at
406
South
4th
Street
I
want
to
focus
on
a
couple
of
things
that
I
find
exciting
about
this
zoning
update
first
I'm
excited
about
more
active
spaces
and
neighborhoods
living
downtown.
BO
The
second
thing
is:
I'm
excited
for
more
housing
options,
my
partner
and
I
rent,
which,
for
the
record,
is
a
perfectly
valid
version
of
the
away
of
American
life,
but
we
don't
necessarily
see
that
we
will
be
renters
forever.
Looking
around
the
options
that
exist
right
now,
there's
not
really
anything
that
makes
sense
with
some
of
the
contemplated
versions
of
things
that
will
exist:
townhouses,
smaller,
more
dense
properties.
That
sounds
more
exciting.
BP
I
did
have
a
couple
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
give
feedback
on.
The
first
was
the
deed
restrictions
for
triplexes
and
fourplexes
I
think
that
that
kind
of
mechanism
is
potentially
going
to
have
inadvertent
consequences,
because
the
restrictions
are
permanent
and
less
indicated.
Otherwise,
when
they're
put
into
place
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
have
some
sort
of
expiration
set
into
them
by
the
code
already,
so
that
those
properties
don't
accidentally
end
up
getting
locked
up.
BP
We're
trying
to
move
away
from
exclusionary
zoning
and
locking
properties
into
a
single
specific
kind
of
concept
is
not
going
to
help
that
part
so
having
something
that
allows
them
to
expire
would
be
a
good
thing.
The
second
is
also
basically
looking
at
parking
requirements
across
the
board.
I
think
that
it's
good
to
reduce
parking
requirements.
BP
BP
BP
BP
City
Council
Members.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
taking
the
time
to
hear
everyone
speak.
My
name
is
Nina
Pina
and
I
live
at
1516
North
21st,
Street
I
am
testifying
today,
as
the
Director
of
bicycle
advocacy
for
the
Boise
bicycle
project
and
I
would
like
to
express
our
strong
support
for
the
new
zoning
code.
BP
The
proposed
update
has
the
potential
to
positively
impact
the
neighbors
and
individuals
we
work
with
on
a
daily
basis
by
promoting
accessibility,
Equity,
Community,
empowerment
and
people
creating
these
streets
at
the
Boise
bicycle
project.
We
see
firsthand
how
important
a
bicycle
can
be
to
so
many
families
in
the
valley.
Many
of
these
families
we
work
with
often
live
on
the
edges
of
of
the
city,
surrounded
by
a
wide
High
wide
high
speed
roads
with
little
to
no
access
to
amenities
such
as
grocery
stores,
Parks
or
schools
other
than
by
car.
C
BQ
Moreover,
as
we
all
know,
Boise
is
facing
a
significant
housing
affordability
crisis
and,
with
a
new
code,
help
by
encouraging
the
development
of
housing
options
that
create
a
range
of
income
levels.
We
can
foster
diverse
communities
where
people
from
different
backgrounds
can
live
side
by
side
and
use
a
range
of
Transportation
methods
to
move
around
the
team
opportunities
such
as
this
offers.
Families
like
those
the
Boise
bicycle
project,
works
with
the
possibility
to
live
closer
to
areas
of
work
and
access
to
a
wider
range
of
amenities.
BQ
If
things
continue,
as
as
it
is
right
now,
those
communities
at
bdp
serves
will
not
be
able
to
afford
to
live
and
stay
in
Boise.
So
in
closing,
I
urge
you
to
support
the
Boise
zoning
code.
Rewrite
and
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
hard
work.
They've
done.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Nina
Patty
Bowen.
BQ
What
we
found
was
most
people
were
in
favor
of
the
rewrite
when
we
sidestepped
some
of
the
rhetoric
and
discussed
the
specific
Provisions
in
the
zoning
code
rewrite.
So
what
we
found
is
boisean's
almost
universally
supported
the
requirement
to
improve
our
tree
canopy
more
Community,
cafes
and
restaurants,
to
provide
Community
hubs,
new
requirements
to
support
pollinators
allowances
for
more
density,
when
developments
meant
affordability
and
sustainability
require
requirements,
improved
sidewalks
and
Pathways
to
allow
for
safer
walking
and
biking
and
new
rules
to
allow
for
more
starter
homes.
BQ
Much
of
the
opposition
was
in
fear
of
the
wrong
kind
of
development,
while
some
folks
were
concerned
about
massive
apartment
complexes
going
in
next
door.
Their
concerns
were
often
assuaded
when
we
shared
how
density
was
targeted
in
mixed-use
zones,
how
density
how
density
increases
were
gentle
and
how
there
were
specific
Provisions
to
protect
the
look
and
feel
of
neighborhoods.
Unfortunately,
we
also
found
some
of
the
concerns
about
the
wrong
kind
of
development
were.
C
Rooted
in
unfair
and
inaccurate
stereotypes
about
renters,
multi-family
residents
and
refugees,
we
even
heard
some
of
these
comments
and
neighborhood
association
meetings
as
well.
We've
rejected
these
reviews
and
whenever
one
of
our
canvassers
had
a
good
conversation,
they
asked
that
the
person
fill
out
a
postcard
with
their
feelings
about
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
they
could
be
as
simple
as
I
support
this,
but
as
you'll
see
from
the
125
postcards,
which
are
also
in
the
public
record,
many
of
those
weren't
much
more
in
depth.
I've
split
these
postcards.
Q
Into
about
seven
groups
and
with
your
permission,
I'll
come
up
and
distribute
them.
So
you
can
kind
of
look
through
all
the
different
comments
that
we
got.
Our
voter,
Outreach
Specialists,
Elaine,
Andrew
and
lucar
signed
up
to
testify
after
after
me,
and
you
can
kind
of
talk
to
them
about
the
details
and
experiences
that
they've
had
at
the
door
and
why
this
work
mattered
to
them.
But
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Q
Q
Madam
mayor,
oh
I'm,
one
of
those
people
who
needs
the
microphone
Madame
mayor
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Elaine
zabriskie
and
I
live
in
Boise
on
the
Depot
bench,
zip
code,
83705.,
I'm,
testifying
it
today
in
support
of
Boise's
modern
zoning
code.
I
am
a
voter
Outreach
specialist
at
conservation
voters
for
Idaho
and
over
the
last
two
months,
I
knocked
around
250
doors.
Talking
about
this
issue
every
time.
Time
and
time
again,
my
conversations
with
my
neighbors
showed
me
that
people
care
deeply
about
their
community
and
about
protecting
their
environment.
Q
Almost
everyone
was
excited
about
Corner,
Grocery,
Stores,
Safe,
Streets
and
protected
natural
lands,
because
people
move
to
Boise
for
a
reason
they
want
to
enjoy
the
community
and
the
outdoor
recreation
opportunities
that
we
have
and
that
are
so
unique
to
our
city.
Beyond.
These
reasons
I
personally
support
this
rewrite
because,
as
a
renter
and
a
young
citizen
of
Boise
I
want
my
city
to
be
affordable,
comfortable
and
safe
from
wildfires
and
climate
change.
I
want
my
future
to
be
here,
but
I
need
policy.
Support
like
this
code
to
make
sure
that
that
is
actually
possible.
Q
I
know
that
people
are
afraid
of
the
change
that
this
new
zoning
code
might
bring,
but
great
communities
are
something
that
we
choose
to
create
and
we
need
to
change
in
order
to
make
that
happen.
After
all,
all
the
construction
that
everyone
is
so
frustrated
about
myself
included,
happened
under
the
current
zoning
code.
C
V
V
We
ended
up
finding
a
place
to
live,
but
the
entire
Opera,
the
entire
situation.
If
we
had
had
the
ability
to
put
in
an
offer
on
that
house,
when
it
went
up
for
sale,
we
would
have,
but
it
sold
for
over
700
000
and
instead
of
being
an
opportunity
for
us,
it
was
just
a
reminder
of
how
far
away
from
our
housing
goals.
We
really
were
this
zoning
code
and
the
provisions
for
affordable
housing
mean
that
I
could
actually
get
to
stay
here,
and
that
means
a
lot
to
me.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

The
current
zoning
code
was
implemented
in
the
1960s,
which
only
allows
one
type
of
development
and
75
percent
of
residential
areas.
Single-Family
homes
on
relatively
large
Lots,
originally
intended
to
keep
black
families
out
of
white
neighborhoods.
This
provision
ultimately
hurts
all
boys
against
by
artificially
restricting
the
supply
of
Housing
and
preventing
many
forms
of
mid
to
low-cost
housing
from
being
built.
V
The
fears
about
this
change
are,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
same
as
they
were
back
in
1960..
Many
people
fear
that
if
Boise
neighborhoods
are
accessible
to
everyone,
this
will
bring
about
lower
property
values
and
crime.
In
fact,
nearly
the
opposite
is
true.
Studies
show
cities
with
high
levels
of
economic
segregation
suffer
more
crime,
while
mixed
income
neighborhoods
promote
Community
involvement
and
upward
Mobility.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
and
all
the
work
they
put
into
this
effort.
X
My
name
is
Andrew
kovalevski
I'm,
a
student
at
BSU
and
I
work
as
a
voter
Outreach
specialist
for
conservation
voters
for
Idaho
over
the
last
several
weeks,
I've
knocked
on
over
650
doors,
I'm
here
representing
CBI,
but
also
myself
and
my
individual
perspective
to
Echo
some
of
the
the
things
that
my
my
colleagues
have
said.
Knocking
on
doors
people
are.
Are
they
want
protection
of
Open
Spaces?
They
want.
E
C
I
had
to
move
from
Boise
and
now
I'm,
currently
looking
at
Nampa
as
well,
because
meridian's
too
expensive
for
me,
and
so
the
lack
of
housing
affordability
is
kind
of
getting
to
me.
I
have
to
drive
to
school
during
the
week
as
well,
which
made
me
aware
of
kind
of
how
bad
traffic
congestion
is
as
well
so
before
I
learned
of
the
specific
Provisions
in
the
rewrite
I
was
already
in
favor
of
the
process.
The
whole
process,
the
public
input
process.
AD
BR
When
I,
eventually
read
over
the
specifics
before
I
jumped
on
the
canvassing
campaign,
I
was
allowed
to
learn
that
Energy
Efficiency
incentives,
while
being
self-evident
in
their
benefit,
could
bring
down
housing
costs
and
new
developments.
I
would
appreciate
being
able
to
look
for
housing
in
Boise
closer
to
school
in
the
office
where
I,
work
and
I
know
many
of
my
fellow
BSU
upperclassmen
also
live
in
Nampa
Caldwell
are
making
that
same
Trek
over
the
other
point.
I
want
to
discuss
is
a
more
controversial
one.
BR
The
targeted
density,
more
density
would
keep
Boise
from
building
outward
and
consuming
more
of
the
Foothills.
I
would
also
allow
for
more
resource
efficient
infrastructure.
The
opposition
I've
heard
about
density
is
one
I'm
sure
you've
all
heard
as
well,
but
most
of
the
people
at
the
doors
who
are
against
the
code
rewrite
were
afraid
that
you
know
multi-family
homes
will
lower
the
value
of
their
properties
once
I
inform
them
of
the
actual
provisions
of
the
zcr.
BR
There's
far
more
support,
people
came
around
to
the
to
the
rewrite
when
we
talked
about
the
specifics
of
gentle
density,
it
made
the
trajectory
of
the
future
of
our
city,
seem
more
promising
to
those
people,
so
I
support,
targeted
density,
increasing
density,
around
existing
structure
made
sense
to
people
at
the
doors
as
well,
and
people
and
myself
included,
enjoy
the
prospect
of
a
more
comprehensive
transit
system,
more
likely,
facilitated
by
the
targeted
density
and
EG
infrastructure.
Provisions
that
we're
seeing
I'm
excited
to
follow
the
rest
of
the
process
and
I
wish.
BR
You
luck
in
your
informed
decision,
making
I
hope,
you're
able
to
make
and
continue
to
incorporate
the
Public's
feedback
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work.
You've
done
and
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Thanks,
Andrew
all
right.
Thank
you
all
right,
Ian,
McLaughlin
and
then
Bronson
Grange
welcome
Ian,
Madam,
mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
This
evening
my
name
is
Ian
McLaughlin
5206,
North,
Sunderland,
Drive,
West
Valley
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
Planning
and
Zoning
staff
did.
BR
BR
BR
BR
C
Is
wonderful,
great
people
access
to
Parks?
We
aren't
too
far
from
downtown
a
little
bit
harder
to
bike
to
work.
We
even
have
a
mix
of
housing.
We
have
duplexes
right
next
to
Salem
family
homes
across
the
street
from
Cottage
courts
and
it
works
out
very
well.
One
thing
our
neighborhood
does
lack
is
walkability
and
I
believe
the
proposed
zoning
code
will
address
some
of
those
issues
by
adding
cafes
markets.
BB
Restaurants
to
neighborhoods
stuff
that
I
would
love
to
my
wife,
would
love
to
be
able
to
walk
to
ride
our
bikes
to
so,
at
any
rate,
I
encourage
you
to
approve
the
proposed
zoning
code
and
legalize
homes
for
all
neighborhoods
and
all
boiseans.
If
we
further
delay
this
five-year
process,
we're
going
to
run
the
same
Regional
issues
that
we're
seeing
across
the
state
issues
that
we're
seeing
in
towns
like
Haley,
Ketchum,
McCall
or
people
who
run
help
the
city
run
smoothly.
Those
are
our
service
workers,
police
officers,
nurses,
Educators.
BB
Those
people
won't
be
able
to
afford
houses
in
the
city,
and
obviously
that
is
not
going
to
work
so
I
support
and
view
the
new
zoning
code
as
a
ordinance
essential
to
coping
with
the
changes
that
we're
facing
as
a
city,
and
we
should
choose
to
prepare
for
the
future
that
we
want,
and
we
can
be
proud
of.
Thank
you
very
much.
BB
We
served
on
the
citizen
advisory
committee,
I
think
you'll,
know
the
answer
to
this.
What
is
your
closest
mixed-use,
Activity
Center,
to
where
you
live,
oh
depends
on
how
you
define
mixed
use,
so
those
places
that
we've
designated
in
the
comprehensive
plan
like
here's,
where
mixed
use
development
is
going
to
go
where
we're
going
to
have
grocery
stores
and
restaurants,
and
some
of
that
stuff,
yeah
I,
want
to
say
it's
Fairview
grab
you
yep
great.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
Thanks
for
your
service,
welcome
Bronson.
BB
Today,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
airport
influence
overlay.
Originally
there
were
two
maps
used
to
define
the
airport
influence
overlay
area
within
code.
A
recently
suggested
code
revision
proposes
eliminating
reference
to
the
noise
exposure
map
and
focusing
solely
on
the
airport
influence
area
map
to
define
the
airport
influence
overlay.
What
are
the
differences
between
these
maps
and
are
we
moving
forward
with
the
right
one?
BB
So
the
airport
influence
area
map
Origins
map
Pattaya
with
the
Boise
City
Airport,
told
us
that
the
map
was
created
in
the
1980s
around
40
years
ago.
Not
even
Boise,
Airport
staff
know
the
methodology
by
which
the
airport
influence
area
map
was
drawn
and
they
produced
it.
We've
researched
the
topic
extensively.
We've
discussed
the
map
with
Boise
Airport,
the
FAA
we've
obtained
the
results
of
the
earliest
Boise
Airport
sound
studies
which
were
done
in
the
in
1992.
BB
Well,
after
the
creation
of
the
airport
influence
area,
there
is
no
documentation
or
explanation
of
what
the
map
is
based
on
other
than
assumptions
that
it
was
based
on
random
noise,
complaints
from
the
1980s
here's,
the
area
within
which
the
airport
influence
area
suggests,
limiting
or
prohibiting
residential
development.
It
is
12,
501
Acres.
BB
On
the
other
hand,
you
have
the
part
150
noise
exposure
map.
The
part
150
study
prepared
by
the
airport's
consultant,
States
figure
2,
which
is
the
noise
exposure
map
that
we're
referencing,
represents
a
worst
case
scenario
for
which
the
city
of
Boise
and
Ada
County
can
use
to
make
informed
land
use
and
Zoning
decisions.
These
are
modern
Maps
prepared
by
the
Boise
Airport,
using.
BS
Here
is
the
area
within
which
the
noise
exposure
map
suggests
limiting
or
prohibiting
residential
development.
It
is
2648
Acres,
as
you
can
see,
Boise
Airport
is
proposing
a
10
000
acre
buffer
between
where
they
would
like
to
see
housing
limited
or
prohibited,
and
what
the
federal
government
has
determined
is
warranted
using
modern
worst
case
scenario,
assumptions
we've
come
up
with
a
couple
of
questions
that
we
think
should
be
considered
when
determining
which
map
should
be
used
in
our
modern
code.
Rewrite
for
future
land
use
planning
is
the
code.
BS
What
was
it
created
within
the
last
40
years?
Is
it
updated
every
five
years?
Does
it
incorporate
future
airport
growth
assumptions?
Is
it
based
on
results
of
sound
studies
performed
by
sound
professionals?
Does
it
have
a
stated
purpose
of
informing
land
use
decisions?
Does
it
use
federally
approved
guidelines
for
its
development?
Is
the
documented
and
understood?
Does
it
have
a
documented
and
understood
origin
and
purpose?
BS
BS
The
conclusion
of
public
records
request
confirmed
that
the
airport
only
keeps
complaint
data
for
five
years
and
since
2018
there
have
only
been
38
airport-related
complaints
made
with
no
apparent
correlation
to
the
airport
influence
area
map.
The
airport
influence
area
unnecessarily
and
unjustifiably
prohibits
the
development
of
10
000
acres
for
residential
units
near
some
of
Boise's
largest
employment,
centers,
decreasing
housing
stock
and
increasing
housing
prices
and
commute
times.
This
promotes
a
necessity
service
brawl.
Thank
you
guys
very
much
appreciate
it.
BS
Okay,
Lisa
I
didn't
see.
Lisa
is
Lisa
online.
All
right,
we,
we
oh
I,
saw
you
from
there.
You
are
welcome,
thank
you
so
good
afternoon,
Madam,
mayor
and
city
council
members,
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
provide
input.
My
name
is
Lisa.
Hecht
I
live
at
4920
East
Sagewood
Drive
in
Boise
and
I
arrived
in
Boise
43.
BT
Growth
from
a
city
of
forty
thousand
to
its
current
population
and
the
benefits
and
challenges
associated
with
that
I
was
on
the
citizens,
advisory
Council
in
1992
and
advocated
for
a
connected,
system-wide
cycling
plan,
which
I'm
pleased
to
see
has
largely
occurred.
So
I
have
two
areas
of
comments
also,
so
first
I
support
this
zoning
code,
rewrite
for
the
following
reasons:
number
one
transportation
and
congestion
and
approximately
30
percent
of
boiseans
don't
drive.
BT
This
plan
accounts
for
that
by
offering
more
options
for
cyclists,
pedestrians,
those
who
are
differently
abled
and
those
who
choose
not
to
drive.
We
saw
during
the
pandemic
how
important
those
alternate
and
healthy
modes
are
for
Boise,
I'm
a
cyclist
and
keep
healthy
and
happy
getting
to
many
places
on
Boise's,
beautiful
Greenbelt.
BT
Secondly,
I
support
the
the
update,
because
the
answer
in
part
is
co-locating
housing
developments
near
Transportation,
options
to
relieve
congestion
and
the
Associated
Air
Pollution,
which
is
encouraged
in
this
plan,
and
we
have
seen
you
know
along
the
west
coast.
You
know
the
rapid
growth
of
homelessness
and
by
allowing
multiple
opportunities
for
places
to
live
and
affordabilities,
we
can
reduce
the
risk
of
that
and
Boise
will
be
more
productive
by
encouraging
these
these
other
modes
in
it,
rather
than
just
more
parking,
because
that
space
can
be
used
for
housing,
businesses
and
services.
BT
Second
area
is
housing,
affordability
and
homelessness.
I
support
the
mixed-use
zoning,
which
allows
people
to
find
services
near
where
they
live,
without
having
to
travel
large
distances,
saving
them
time,
money
and
relieving
congestion
and
Associated
pollution
again.
This
is
especially
helpful
for
those
30
percent
poisons
who
don't
drive.
BU
BT
As
we
see
more
growth
in
electric
vehicles,
those
who
rent
will
need
access
to
home
charging
as
well
and
those
of
electric
vehicles
will
not
only
help
Wazee
with
its
plan
to
become
Net
Zero,
but
will
help
all
of
us
improve
our
health
by
having
cleaner
air
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
this
opportunity
to
provide
input
and
for
all
the
work
you've
done
to
craft
this
plan.
Thank
you,
Thank.
You
Lisa
is
August
here.
BT
BU
Something
before
I
forgot
and
that's
if
we
could
just
have
staff,
maybe
follow
up
later
about
the
testimony
about
the
area,
airport
influence
area
overlay
and
the
the
noise
exposure
map.
It
would
be
nice
to
be
able
to
ask
some
questions
in
the
future,
but
not
not
right
now
sure
and
then
I
noticed
that
there
are
a
couple
hands
online,
so
we'll
check
in
after
the
first
couple,
people
have
come
up
on
Deck
welcome,
Madame
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
My
name
is
Jeff
Wardle.
BU
My
address
is
251
East
Front
here
in
Boise
I'm
here
in
support
of
this,
and
our
firm
sent
a
letter
in
support
of
the
zoning
rewrite.
Is
it
perfect?
No,
are
there
things
that
are
going
to
have
to
be
addressed?
Yes,
is
the
conversion
to
some
of
our
new
zones
going
to
be
a
challenge
at
times?
Yes,
it
will.
But
what
does
this
code
do?
This
code
recognizes
that
housing
is
housing
is
housing
for
far
too
long.
BU
BU
Second
of
all,
as
I
testified
at
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission,
and
as
we
set
forth
in
our
comments
to
those
that
claim
that
this
process
is
rushed
or
is
unplanned,
those
voices
disregard
the
fact
that,
11
years
ago,
this
community
made
a
fundamental
decision
to
fundamentally
change
its
comprehensive
plan
and
blueprint.
Boise
is
the
plan
that
this
community
is
embraced
and
has
a
practitioner
in
this
area
I'm
regularly
here,
hearing
neighbors
talk
about
how
important
blueprint
Boise
is
and
I
tell
my
clients.
BU
We
have
to
embrace
blueprint
Boise,
but
you
cannot
Embrace
blueprint
Boise
and
then
claim
that
the
intensification
of
housing
or
the
provision
of
alternative
housing
is
inappropriate.
Wholly
inconsistent.
Third
I
was
a
little
surprised
at
the
testimony
you
heard
from
the
Idaho
Fair
Housing
Council
on
the
conditional
use.
Permit
Provisions
I
totally
agree
and
understand
their
position
when
it
comes
to
Industrial
uses
on
conditional
use
permits.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
conditional.
Use
permits
have
repeatedly
been
utilized
in
this
community
as
a
shield
wielded
by
neighborhood
associations
and
others
to
object
to
Alternative.
C
If
we're
going
to
talk
about
social
justice,
then
we
have
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
it's
not
just
about
Blue
Valley,
it's
about
Interfaith
Sanctuary,
it's
about
Boise,
Rescue,
Mission,
it's
about
apartment
projects
or
alternative
types
requiring
those
approvals.
We
recommend
you
approve
this
ordinance.
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
be
not
asking
for
comment,
but
just
want
to
be
clear
because
we've
said
this
before
and
don't
want
people
to
think
otherwise
that
we
are
not
changing
the
rules
around
shelter
in
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
that
is
absolutely
correct.
C
I
thought
you
came
up
when
I
when
I
called
your
that
name,
but
I
wasn't
positive.
That
was
me
welcome
mayor
and
Council
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
here
today.
My
name
is
Virgil
Clark
I
live
at
on
White
Pine
Place
in
Southeast,
Boise
I
oppose
the
modern
zoning
plan
in
its
current
form
and
ask
that
it
be
thoroughly
and
objectively
reviewed,
evaluated
and
revised
to
address
public
concerns
such
as
those
being
brought
forth
today.
I
also
asked
that
it
not
be
considered
for
approval
until
the
new.
F
No
one
was
interested
in
or
responsive
to
our
plight.
In
short,
we
were
only
able
to
resolve
this
issue
by
invoking
applicable
zoning
codes.
Existing
zoning
codes
were
critical
to
removing
this
festering
sore
from
our
neighborhood,
and
now
you
are
considering
eliminating
this
powerful
tool
from
the
ability
of
neighborhoods
to
act
in
their
own
interest
to
maintain
their
character,
livability
and
safety.
This
makes
no
sense
for
the
families
of
Boise.
F
I
am
skeptical
that
the
many
positive
objectives
of
the
plan
can
be
delivered.
We
need
to
study
the
successes
and
failures
of
similar
initiatives
in
other
cities.
Better
understand
how
the
affordable
housing
will
not
be
a
mirage
Forever
on
the
horizon
forever,
requiring
just
a
little
more
investment.
The
downsides
people
have
brought
up
at
sessions
such
as
this
need
to
be
identified
and
worked
through
I
urge
you
to
take
the
time
to
more,
thoroughly,
understand
and
engineer
this
plan
and
its
long-term
impact
on
our
city.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you.

Simply
more
homes
and
more
diversity
of
homes
and
I,
don't
think
we're
talking
enough
about
the
diversity
of
homes
that
this
opens
the
door
to
means
more
affordability,
and
if
I
want
my
college
age,
kids
to
be
able
to
return
to
Boise.
The
reality
is
that
this
is
a
first
step
and
I
I
really
want
to
hone
in
on
that
part.
BV
This
is
a
first
step,
I
think
anybody
who
dreams
that
this
is
going
to
solve
the
affordability
crisis
or
that
it
can
solve
every
issue
with
a
bad
neighbor
or
now
or
in
the
future,
is
fooling
themselves.
The
reality
is
we're
just
trying
to
make
progress
now.
A
couple
other
quick
points.
People
keep
mentioning
this
idea
of
looking
at
other
cities
where
this
has
worked
and
I
agree
with
that
in
in
premise,
but
the
other
side
of
it
is
that
we
have
communities
right
now
in
Boise,
where
this
has
worked.
BV
BV
A
house
that
generally
under
our
current
code,
would
be
it
well
was
difficult
to
build
and
it
would
be
even
impossible
in
some
places,
and
this
leads
to
a
variety
of
people
and
my
you
know
different
types
of
socioeconomic
statuses
and
and
backgrounds-
and
you
know
even
my
daughter
got
her
first
job,
because
the
manager
of
a
of
a
cafe,
a
startup
Cafe
in
downtown
Boise
happened
to
be
living
in
the
Adu
behind
us.
So
you
know
I
just
really
think
this
is
really
good
for
the
social
fabric.
BV
Now
I
do
want
to
say
two
things
that
concern
me
or
things
we
need
I
think
we
need
to
watch
for
and
the
big
one
is.
You
know
the
folks
that
are
saying
that
this
is
forever
I
think
are
wrong.
We
can
we
do
and
make
changes
to
our
code
all
the
time,
but
I
would
encourage
a
rigorous
and
intentional
feedback
loop
that
we
create
now
and
set
the
standards
now
so
over
the
next
few
years
we
have
a
plan
for
how
we're
going
to
adapt
and
measure
the
efficacy,
especially
around
the
incentives.
BV
I
think
the
incentives
need
to
be
checked
for
efficacy,
and
you
know,
if
they're
actually
achieving
their
their
goals
and
I'd
love
to
see
that
built
in
and,
lastly,
I
would
just
encourage,
because
this
is
the
first
step
that
the
city,
council
and
all
of
US
citizens,
you
know
really
get
on
the
look
at
the
big
picture.
We
can
encourage
walking
and
biking
in
transit
with
this.
This
coding
rewrite
code
rewrite,
but
the
reality
is
until
we
get
pedestrians
able
to
walk
across
the
street
safely.
BV
BV
C
Welcome
we
can
see
you
and
hear
you.
Thank
you.
All
right,
I
have
three
points.
I
would
like
to
make.
One
is
a
brief
personal
story.
One
is
experience
from
work
and,
if
I
have
enough
time,
I
will
add
a
comment
about
concerns.
I've
heard
around
the
canopy
personal
story:
we
need
our
young
vibrant
professionals
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
here
and
right
now.
C
They
can't
a
young
woman
who
is
our
family's
child
care
provider
who
has
lived
independent
of
her
parents
for
about
six
years,
has
gotten
her
degree
is
joining
Boise
school
district
as
a
student
teacher
and
has
been
a
paraprofessional
for
a
couple
of
years.
She
got
her
rent
checked
over
three
hundred
dollars
and
had
to
move
back
in
with
her
parents
in
Nampa.
In
order
to
be
able
to
continue
her
career.
That's
not
what
we
want.
We
want
our
teachers
and
our
community
members
to.
AU
Afford
to
live
here
so
I
fully
support
the
zoning
code
rewrite
and
want
to
see
more
dense
housing
become
available.
Second,
as
a
work
observation,
I've
worked
for
over
12
years,
and
one
of
the
services
I've
been
involved
in
is
finding
housing
for
unhoused
people
for
those
speakers
who
have
shared
tonight
how
long
they've
lived
in
homes,
you
know
they've
owned
their
home
for
20
years
or
30
years.
That's
wonderful,
but
it
is
from
a
position
of
incredible
incredible
privilege.
AU
Finding
housing
for
people
who
are
renting,
particularly
people
who
struggled
economically,
has
gotten
exponentially
harder
in
the
last
few
years
with
deposit
skyrocketing
income
requirements,
skyrocketing
co-signer
requirements,
marketing
and
even
where
there
are
cosigners
the
additional
requirement
that
cosigners
have
large
amounts
of
personal
property
to
put
in
to
a
co-signing
agreement.
It
is
so
hard
to
find
affordable
rental
space
in
our
wonderful
home
and
I
want
to
make
it
more
available
to
others.
AU
Last
comment
on
I've
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
from
other
speakers
about
the
loss
of
trees,
loss
of
green
space.
I
found
the
loss
of
Farmland
statistics
to
be
very
compelling
that
we
actually
need
to
get
more
dense
to
preserve
our
wealth,
spaces
and
I
would
say
well
planned
at
more
dense.
Closing
will
give
us
more
Wild
Spaces
than
gigantic
houses
on
gigantic
lots
that
people
who
work
here
can't
afford.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
I
strongly
support
this
unencode
Ray.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Oh
I
hope
you're,
not
driving

not
driving
I'm
in
a
car.
Someone
else
is
driving:
okay,
hi
Christina,
Bruce,
benion
I
live
at
5608
at
North
CapTel
way
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
and,
as
others
have
said,
really
appreciate
the
the
in-depth
and
deliberative
process
you're
undertaking
on
this
zoning
code.
Rewrite
I
am
in
support
of
it.
BW
The
work
that
we
do
at
the
wassom
center
is
human
rights
education,
but
the
ultimate
goal
of
our
work
is
to
Foster
communities
that
are
committed
to
creating
a
sense
of
belonging
for
all
residents.
Housing
access
and
choice
are
fundamental
to
feeling
like
you
belong
somewhere
and
are
really
critical
elements
in
the
health
and
well-being
of
an
individual
or
family.
BW
However,
many
housing
zoning
policies
have
historically
worked
against,
creating
belonging
by
intentionally
creating
separation
and
othering
through
practices
like
redlining
and
exclusionary
language
and
housing
Deeds.
That
are
that
we
are
still
working
to
rectify
decades
later
here.
In
Boise,
in
the
past,
areas
like
the
River
District
were
created
through
redlining
and
then
eventually
largely
demolished
to
make
way
for
commercial
and
other
development,
which
ends
up
being
a
double
whammy
for
families
living
in
that
area.
BW
The
long-term
consequences
of
denying
people
access
to
stable
housing
options
can
actually
be
generational
in
terms
of
wealth,
equity
and
belonging.
Even
though
we
now
have
many
legal
protections
against
overt
discrimination
in
housing,
we
still
see
efforts
to
exclude
people
from
housing
and
neighborhoods
whether
they
are
new
Americans
families
with
children,
seniors,
lgbtq,
unhoused,
low-income
renters
or
others.
These
efforts
can,
intentionally
or
unintentionally,
be
supported
by
zoning
codes,
so
we
need
codes
that
are
more
inclusive
and
aim
to
increase
housing
options
for
a
broader
range
of
residents.
BW
Boise
has
every
opportunity
to
use
every
tool
it
has
available
to
create
a
vibrant,
affordable
and
inclusive
City
in
part
through
its
housing
zoning
policies,
I
like
to
imagine
a
city
where
neighborhoods
include
a
variety
of
people,
businesses
and
affordable
needed
Housing
Solutions,
these
type
of
neighborhoods
break
down
barriers
and
build
a
community
of
belonging.
Thank
you.
C
BX
Back
Lane
and
I
am
the
housing
specialist
at
Agency
for
new
Americans
or
a
refugee
settlement
agency.
Here
in
Boise,
I
came
here
to
speak
as
a
resident
and
someone
who
works
very
closely
with
one
of
Boise's
most
vulnerable
populations
to
find
rentals
here
here
in
town
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
speak
in
favor
of
the
rezoning,
the
coding,
the
zoning
rewrite
I
apologize
I
think
that
the
the
rewrite
would
greatly
increase
the
amount
of
available
rentals
and
available
affordable
rentals
for
our
our
City's
residents
and
I.
BX
Think
the
addition
of
more
Adu
units
and
multi-family
units
in
this
town
would
would
vastly
impact
the
the
ability
of
our
residents
to
be
adequately
housed
right
now.
I
am
I,
run
into
a
lot
of
difficulties
and
challenges,
housing
folks,
based
on
the
rental
qualifications,
for
a
lot
of
properties
here
and
even
for
a
lot
of
the
affordable
and
low-income
properties
that
are
available,
the
The,
Limited
ones
that
are
available
and
so
I
think
having
more
private
renters
out
there
available
folks
who
are
able
to
kind
of
work.
C
BY
BY
I
didn't
have
a
good
credit,
and
so
I
was
very
privileged
to
have
family
members
that
were
able
to
co-sign
for
me,
but
that
is
not
the
case
for
for
many
of
our
residents
here
and
so
I'm
just
wanted
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
rewrite
in
order
to
hopefully
benefit
the
folks
who
are
coming
here
new
to
our
town
and
those
of
us
who
have
called
this
place,
our
home
for
our
entire
life.
Thank
you.
BY
BY
So
I
don't
know
if
you
can
contact
the
city
or
or
myself,
but
please
share
that
experience
as
you
try
to
help
refugees
settle
in
our
community
and
some
of
the
challenges.
Thank
you
sure.
Thank
you.
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
some
of
the
same
things.
I
appreciate
your
work
in
the
non-profit
sector
and
for
speaking
for
a
very
specific
portion
of
our
population
that
this
might
affect.
So
thank
you
for
testifying
today
and
also
welcome
to
the
leg
injury
Club
at
City
Hall.
It
seems
to
be
infecting
all
of
us.

Thank
you
very
much.

you.
Okay,

you
all
for
coming

appreciate
it.
Kristen,
Donovan

For
us
baraxa
welcome,
hi
hello.
My
name
is

I
am
a
citizen
of
Boise
in
the
Southeast
end
and
Community
engagement
manager

BY
BY
I
was
signing
five
to
ten
cashiers
checks
a
day
for
people
from
out
of
state
purchasing
houses
for
cash.
At
the
same
time,
I
was
seeing
more
and
more
people
experiencing
homelessness.
The
wealth
disparity
in
our
community
was
apparent
and
has
only
gotten
worse.
Since
then,
I
saw
that
our
community
was
facing
rapid
growth
and
was
not
prepared
to
deal
with
the
effects.
C
C
Experienced
smart,
talented
and
passionate
housing
experts
working
on
every
aspect
of
the
housing
crisis.
They
all
understand
that
the
housing
crisis
is
a
complex
issue
and
that
the
solution
must
be
equally
varied,
creative
and
adaptable.
This
is
what
the
zoning
code
offers:
the
ability
for
our
city
to
adopt
a
growth
and
change
in
real
time.
The
bottom
line
is
that
until
we
have
housing
stock
that
matches
the
economic
diversity
of
our
community.
BZ
We
keep
pushing
this
off
and,
in
the
meantime,
growth
continues
to
happen,
and
people
are
upset
because
they're
seeing
the
negative
effects
of
this
growth,
our
city
has
not
been
prepared,
for
we
cannot
stop
people
from
choosing
to
live
in
Boise
I
was
lucky
enough
to
be
born
and
raised
in
Boise
or
in
Idaho,
and
if
I
hadn't
been
that
lucky
I
certainly
would
have
moved
here.
Our
city
is
special
I'm
grateful
to
count
myself
amongst
the
incredible
housing
Advocates
working
hard
to
keep
our
city
special.
BZ
BZ
We're
very
excited
we're
purchasing
we're
able
to
purchase
a
home
for
175
000,
because
it
is
a
rotting
mobile
home
with
a
poor
floor
and
bad
in
solution.
It's
terrible
for
our
allergies.
It's
basically
killing
us,
but
we
get
to
stay
in
Boise
and
I'm
excited
about
that
and
I'm
disgusted
that
I'm
excited
about
that,
and
we
can
do
better
for
our
community
Katie.
BZ
Thank
you
for
your
testimony
and
also
thank
you
for
the
partnership
that
Jesse
tree
provides
the
city,
but
importantly,
the
services
that
you
provide.
Our
residents
appreciate
it.
Of
course.
Thank
you
all
right,
I've
got
to
take
we're
gonna,
have
to
take
a
break
in
10
minutes,
but
I'm
looking
at
four
people
that
I
called
up
so
we'll
go
with
the
four
of
you
just
come
on
up
starting
on
the
left,
we'll
go
down
the
line.
BZ
Today,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
the
problems.
I
see,
clients
we
serve
face
due
to
the
complex
housing
market
in
Boise.
Ukrainian
refugees
face
several
challenges
in
the
U.S,
but
the
biggest
challenge
that
impacts
their
well-being
daily
is
affordable.
Housing,
Federal
obstacles
like
getting
a
social
security
number
and
state
obstacles
such
as
getting
work
authorization
our
obstacles
out
of
our
reach,
but
you
all
at
the
local
Boise
level,
have
the
ability
to
help
families
with
daily
struggles.
BZ
Working
with
his
family
daily
I
see
the
amount
of
effort
that
they
put
in
to
just
stay
afloat,
with
simple
things
like
clothes
and
medical
attention
for
their
children.
Their
lease
is
ending
in
a
month,
but
without
a
high
credit
score,
extensive,
rent
history
and
ability
to
make
three
times
the
amount
of
rent.
The
search
is
nearly
impossible.

role
at
the
IRC
is
to
help
refugees
find
their
first
jobs
after
coming
to
Boise.
This
can
be
incredibly
gratifying.
CA
Obstacles
like
poor
public
transportation
and
unaffordable
housing
makes
it
nearly
impossible
for
the
clients
we
serve
to
find
a
permanent
address
to
settle
at,
let
alone
sustain
reliable
transportation
to
and
from
work.
These
folks
want
nothing
more
than
to
start
giving
back
to
Boise,
but
these
barriers
can
be
very
difficult
to
overcome
if
the
zoning
code
in
Boise
is
updated.
C
CB
CB
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
your
public
service
and
for
taking
our
comments.
My
name
is
Janelle
Holt
and
I
live
in
the
East
End.
There
are
serious
issues
with
your
up.
Zone
plan
and
I
do
not
support
it.
A
young
woman
came
to
my
door
last
week
spreading
disinformation.
She
was
on
the
payroll
of
the
legalized
homes
campaign
and
the
first
thing
she
told
me
was
the
rewrite
won't
affect
you.
I,
don't
know
how
else
to
say
this,
but
this
is
a
lie.
CB
I
live
in
an
r1c
neighborhood
of
mostly
one-story
homes,
fewer
than
1800
square
feet
in
size.
With
this
episode,
any
homes
can
be
raised,
including
our
75
plus
year
old
trees.
There
goes
the
canopy
and
replaced
by
two.
Yes,
two
three-story
duplexes
40
feet
tall
with
minimal
to
no
required
on-site
parking
for
the
eight
potential
cars,
not
to
mention
12,
more
garbage
cans.
We
are
all
vulnerable
to
this
gutting
of
existing
neighborhoods.
Despite
the
city's
intense
marketing
campaigns,
insistence
that
the
rewrite
is
limited
to
corridors.
This
is
Spin
and
disinformation
mayor.
CB
You
texted
me
that
your
dream
is
for
your
children
to
be
able
to
come
home
from
college
and
buy
a
home.
How
will
this
be
possible
if
you
destroy
working-class
neighborhood
homes
and
build
rental
units?
You
are
not
supporting
homes,
you
are
supporting
developers
and
absentee
landlords.
You
are
creating
a
class
of
renters,
excluding
those
of
lower
income,
a
long-held
tradition
in
Boise.
Unfortunately,
with
any
luck,
your
children
will
come
home
from
college
and
maybe
be
able
to
pay
for
an
expensive
apartment.
CB
The
up
Zone
has
been
highly
marketed
as
a
solution
to
the
affordable
housing
crisis
in
Boise.
Yes,
we
need
affordable
housing.
No
doubt
promoting
it
in
this
way
is
at
best
naive
and
at
worst,
just
plain.
False
statistics
show
that
the
majority
of
residents
in
need
of
affordable
housing
here
are
those
who
are
in
80
percent
of
the
median
income
for
boiseans.
The
up
Zone
will
not
result
in
affordable
housing.
CB
For
this
group,
it
will
only
provide
a
small
number
of
dwellings
for
those
making
a
hundred
and
twenty
percent
of
the
median
income,
a
240
square
foot
studio
apartment
in
my
neighborhood-
goes
for
eleven
hundred
dollars.
A
month,
if
you
put
an
apartment
building
in
that
neighborhood,
there
is
no
way
people
are
going
to
be
paying
affordable
rent.
It
will
be
high,
expensive,
rent
in
my
neighborhood.
CB
In
addition,
who,
for
the
next
50
years,
will
oversee
the
suggested
rent
caps
built
into
your
plan?
If
high
density
housing
resulted
in
affordability,
apartments
in
downtown
Boise
would
now
be
affordable
and
we
all
know
they
are
not.
New
construction
is
naturally
more
expensive
to
rent
than
existing
Apartments.
Pitching
the
up
zone
is
a
solution
to
affordable
housing
is
just
more
spin.
The
big
winners
are
the
absentee
investors
and
landlords
and
developers
who
have
no
connection
to
our
neighborhoods.
CB
AJ
AJ
CB
What
I
oppose
about
this
rewind
is
how
easily
a
five
to
eight
unit
40
foot
tall
complex
can
be
built
in
our
neighborhood
or
a
12
bed
bed
and
breakfast
with
less
than
half
the
necessary
parking
could
slip
in
next
door
without
any
input
from
us.
The
neighborhood
you're
the
zoning
website,
says
this
modern
code
will
protect
the
character
of
our
unique
neighborhoods
and
create
opportunities
for
Homes
at
Boise
prices
across
the
city.
So
our
kids
can
return
home
to
start
their
lives
in
a
place.
They
grew
up.
CB
CB
The
rezoning
targets
select
r1c
neighborhoods,
but
only
those
with
lots
deemed
subdividable
by
Planning
and
Zoning.
The
housing
that
could
be
provided
will
not
be
affordable.
In
fact,
the
coach
said
homes
can
be
resold
at
130
percent
of
the
scale
used
to
determine
affordability.
Rental
fees
only
have
to
meet
a
small
percentage
of
these
affordability
formula.
So
how
is
this
benefiting
our.
AJ
CC
Tonight-
and
there
are
some
but
shoving,
multi-unit
giants
into
these
selected
old
neighborhoods
just
creates
an
Investor's
paradise
and
a
future
slum
I.
Ask
that
you
slow
this
down,
allow
the
changes
to
the
old
neighborhoods
to
be
more
in
keeping
with
what's
there
and
don't
forget
about
the
people
who
have
made
Boise
what
it
is
not
with
the
investors
and
developers
want.
You
are
our
only
hope.
CC
However,
I
understand
that
the
mayor
has
recently
appointed
two
City
Council
Members.
These
were
not
elected
by
the
people.
This
is
not
citizen
representation.
Only
an
elected
member
should
be
to
have
the
power
to
determine
the
people's
Fates
in
changing
the
face
of
our
old
and
established.
Neighborhoods
is
affecting
our
fate.
CC
This
drastic
zone
change
that
has
the
potential
to
create
such
upheaval
should
be
decided
by
the
people
or
at
least
by
in
the
minimum,
by
the
representatives
elected
by
those
people
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
are
now
on
taking
a
break
until
about
six.
We
have
it
Max
an
hour
left
just
like
less
than
a
page
left
of
folks
to
testify,
so
just
to
be
clear.
We're
going

finish
tonight
if
you've

I'm
calling

First
Madame
maker
mayor,
it's
just
Jacob
Anderson
online
right,
hi
hi.
My
name
is
Sophie
spanbauer.
Thank
you,
mayor
McLean
and
city
council
for
providing
this
opportunity
for
me
to
speak
today.
I
live
at
600,
South,
Shoshone,
Street
and
I'm
here
to
testify.
Today,
in
favor
of
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Boise
and
I'm.
CD
Currently,
a
senior
at
the
University
of
Idaho
as
a
lifelong
Boise
resident
I,
look
forward
to
one
day,
owning
my
own
home
in
Boise
and
continuing
to
be
a
part
of
our
unique
Community.
However,
in
recent
years
I,
like
many
other
Boise
residents,
have
watched
housing
prices
and
rent
drastically
increase.
I,
never
dreamed
that
I
would
have
to
consider
leaving
my
hometown
for
the
sake
of
affordability,
but
unfortunately
that
has
become
a
stark
reality
for
me
and
many
others.
Just
like
me
as
a
fourth
generation
idahoan
I
am
deeply.
Q
CE
To
the
modern
zoning
code
and
I've
found
like
a
lot
of
the
other
canvassers
that
Boise
residents
are
really
in
favor
of
a
diverse
living
environment
and
living
with
different
types
of
people.
Different
income
types
and
I
really
support
that
I'm
in
favor
of
the
modern
zoning
code
because
of
the
increase
in
diverse
styles
of
homes
that
will
be
legal
to
own
and
rent
in
Boise
such
as
Bungalow
courts
or
fourplexes.
CE
The
modern
zoning
code
will
also
protect
farmlands
and
Open
Spaces
by
curbing
urban
sprawl
on
a
more
organized
and
Equitable
level
than
we
have
previously
seen.
I
believe
that
the
implementation
of
the
modern,
sorry
I
believe
that
the
implementation
of
the
modern
zoning
code
will
create
a
more
inclusive,
affordable
and
connected
Boise,
and
not
just
for
the
next
couple
of
years,
but
for
generations
to
come
after
me
as
well.
CE
CE
Jacob
Anderson
welcome.
We
can
see
you
thank
you.
My
name
is
Jake
Anderson
I
live
at
1022
East
McKinley
Street
in
the
East
End
I'm
here
to
support
the
modern
zoning
code.
I
bring
two
perspectives
to
this
10
years
ago.
I
was
a
grad
student
at
BSU
and
a
renter
now
I'm
a
faculty
member
and
a
homeowner.
My
opinions
here
are
purely
my
own,
based
on
my
own
experience.
I'm
going
to
start
from
a
student's
perspective.
Dsu
students
are
an
important
part
of
our
community.
I
talk
to
students
about
their
housing
challenges.
CE
CE
It
was
also
required
for
the
many
students
who
didn't
have
cars
living
near
campus
was
affordable
and
common
back
then,
but
now
a
lot
more
people
want
to
live
in
Boise
and
the
current
zoning
code
is
not
allowing
the
housing
Supply
to
keep
up
these
days.
Some
students
still
do
live
near
campus,
but
it's
increasingly
unaffordable
and
becoming
less
common.
CE
I've
always
been
proud
of
BSU
of
being
a
good
deal
for
students
compared
to
other
schools
10
years
from
now
on
our
current
path
will
we
still
be
a
good
deal,
considering
where
the
cost
of
housing
is
going?
If
we
don't
increase
the
housing,
Supply
I
think
the
answer
is
no.
The
other
side
of
this
is
the
cost
of
buying
a
house
which
hits
young
family.
Like
me,
after
a
six-month
painful
search.
Last
year,
I
did
manage
to
find
a
house.
I
could
barely
afford
ten
years
ago.
CE
C
Afford
to
live
here
we
have
a
big
housing.
Supply
demand,
mismatch
that
we
need
to
fix
by
increasing
supply
and
supply
is
constrained
by
our
archaic
zoning
code.
City
Planning
has
come
a
long
way
since
the
60s,
but
Boise's
code
is
stuck
in
a
sprawled
out
car-centric
pass.
That
leaves
too
many
of
us
behind,
especially
young
people.
I,
don't
think
by
your
house
10
years
ago,
is
a
good
plan
for
affordability.
C
AM
Finish
Line
I
urge
the
council
to
adopt
the
proposed
zoning
code
without
delay.
I'm
proud
of
my
city
I
care
about
young
voicians,
who
are
having
a
hard
time
now
and
I,
don't
want
to
watch
my
city
and
its
institutions
withered
due
to
a
self-inflicted
housing
affordability
crisis.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Jake.

We
just
purchased
our
home
in
October
and
the
main
reason
we
chose
this
home
was
the
bikeable
and
walkable
scores
of
these
homes
and
that's
how
we
were
choose,
choosing
our
homes
when
we
were
purchasing
and
we
were
very
lucky
to
be
able
able
to
afford
a
home
that
was
bikeable
to
work
for
both
of
us
and
to
be
surrounded
with
a
fantastic
Community
here.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
zoning
code
that
we're
supporting
today
continues
to
enhance
bike
infrastructure
and
walkable
infrastructure
for
both
the
bench,
but
everywhere
in
Boise.
AM
Idaho
in
general
is
losing
six
six
square
miles
of
Farmland
every
year,
and
especially
so
in
the
Treasure
Valley
Idaho's
identity
is
deeply
rooted
to
agriculture,
the
culture
that
people
hold
very
close
and
dear,
and
this
state,
and
so
this
modern
zoning
code
is
really
going
to
help
prevent
more
urban
sprawl
and
protect
these
farmlands
that
are
not
only
feeding
the
world
but
through
Urban
Farmland,
feeding
us
as
a
local
community,
and
so
I
urge
you
to
support
this
new
code
without
delay.
Thank
you.

Hello
city
of
Boise
staff,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
project
and
for
hosting
space
this
week
for
public
testimony.
My
name
is
Annika
Bennett
and
I'm,
a
resident
at
2218
West,
Overland
Road
in
the
zero
five
zip
code.
I
am
absolutely
for
adopting
this
new
zoning
code.
I'm
a
fifth
generation
idahoan
I
was
the
fourth
generation
to
graduate
from
Boise
high
school
and
I.
Recently
graduated
with
my
bachelor's
degree
for
Boise
State,
University,
I'm,
20,.
CF
AM
2020
was
at
2001
West
Boise
Avenue
less
than
a
year
after
I
moved
in
I
received
notice
that
the
developer
had
bought
the
property
we
were
forced
to
move
out.
The
building
was
demolished
and
all
tenants,
including
myself,
really
struggled
to
find
housing
I
spent
hundreds
on
applications
until
I
finally
found
an
apartment.
The
rent
is
200
higher
per
person
per
month
than
my
previous
unit
of
the
exact
same
size,
and
my
current
home
is
a
seven-year-old
building
where
we've
had
sewage
flooding,
multiple
Pest
infestations,
and
we
lost
heat
for
two
weeks
in
December.
AM
All
of
this,
due
to
it
being
a
really
outdated
building.
The
previous
unit
that
I
lived
in
on
Boise
Avenue
has
since
been
replaced
by
a
three-story
complex
that
costs
literally
twice
as
much
per
room
compared
to
my
old
unit.
I
worked
two
simultaneous
jobs
all
throughout
College
to
afford
rent,
while
also
taking
the
maximum
number
of
credits
to
get
through
school
faster,
because
school
and
rent
at
the
same
time
is
super
expensive.
AM
C
I
mean
part
of
the
reason
I
support
this
new
zoning
code
is
because
I
want
more
incentives
for
developers
and
landlords
to
include
affordable
housing
in
their
plans.
I
also
support
the
new
zoning
code,
because
I
want
more
incentive
for
people
to
bike,
walk
and
use
public
transportation.
I
work
full
time
as
a
bike.
Mechanic
at
Boise.
AV
Bicycle
project
and
I
use
my
bike
as
my
main
form
of
transportation.
I
see
firsthand
every
day.
The
many
ways
in
which
our
citizens
utilize
bikes
for
survival
for
transportation,
for
recreation,
for
the
betterment
of
our
air
quality
in
our
environment
I
want
to
see
more
infrastructure
in
our
city
that
promotes
walking
and
biking
and
decreases
the
number
of
cars
on
our
roadways,
I.
Think
of
the
Joni
Mitchell
lyric
they
paved
Paradise
and
put
up
a
parking
lot.
I
want
fewer
places
to
park
and
more
places
to
play.

I'm
speaking
on
behalf

the
Boise
Ada
County
Homeless
Coalition.
We
are
in
favor
of
the
new
zoning
code.
First
and
foremost,
it
is
important
that
we
bring
our
archaic
zoning
code
into
the
21st
century.
It
has
prevented
Innovation
and
equity
in
housing
effectively
excluding
people
who
need
more
affordable
options.
AV

As
a
coalition
of
agencies
working
with
the
lowest
income
households,
we
recognize
that
the
modern
zoning
code
isn't
going
to
solve
issues
for
the
folks
we
serve.
However,
it
will
bring
our
city
into
a
modern
Age
We
urge
you
to
pass
this
new
zoning
code
with
the
admonition
to
continue
funding
and
creating
housing
for
the
lowest
income
citizens
who
are
at
the
mercy
of
government
programs.

AV
Thank
you,
everybody
for
this
time,
Madam
mayor
city,
council
staff,
the
amount
of
work
you've
put
into
this
up
Zone
has
been
incredible.
The
amount
of
work
that's
been
done,
the
modifications,
the
ability
for
the
Mixed
zones
being
able
to
do
the
commercial
there's
a
lot
of
this.
That
is
really
valuable,
with
a
lot
of
potential
for
what
the
city
represents
as
far
as
creating
homes
for
the
new
Americans
to
come
here
and
so
on.
My
big
concern
right
now
at
the
moment,
is
that
there's
too
much
low
hanging
fruit.
CF
Addition
to
that,
we
have
the
new
American
communities
there.
We
have
two
mosques
that
represent
there.
As
far
as
at-risk
individuals,
we
have
three
methadone
clinics
within
the
central
branch
area,
the
number
of
ethnic
delicatessens
and
markets
in
the
area
which
are
largely
able
to
continue
to
operate
simply
because
of
the
affordable
commercial
properties
that
are
there
right
now.
CF
CF
If
we
don't
have
that
affordable
housing
in
existence
now
before
it's
displaced,
we're
going
to
continue
to
run
into
the
homeless
problem
and
it's
going
to
accelerate
until
we
finally
reach
saturation
which
at
this
point
we
don't
know
how
far
down
the
road
that
is
going
to
be,
we
need
the
missing
middle.
We
need
an
ability
to
create
housing
in
the
mixed
areas
before
we
sacrifice
all
of
those
low-income
housings,
middle
and
affordable
housing
that
currently
exist
on
the
bench.
CF
So
did
we
have
Tori
Dole,
Robert,
Elliott,
Kesley,
Felton
or
Rosemary
McLennan
McClanahan
excuse
me,
Rosemary
come
on
up
and
then
we've
got
Brent
Matthew
Kesley,
oh
kesley's,
on
here
three
twice.
Unless
there's
a
Kesley
senior
and
Junior
aurori
Felton
and
a
Richard
fritzly
welcome,
hi
I'm,
Rosemary,
McClanahan
and
I
live
at
3.
300.
I
can
hear
you,
but
not
in
the
mic.
So
okay,
Rosemary
McClanahan
I,
live
at
3300.
North
Hawthorne
Drive
I
have
concerns
about
the
proposed
zoning
code,
rewrite
and
recommend
any
approval.
CF
Wait
until
after
the
November
elections
in
a
voter,
approved
council
is
suited.
I
live
in
one
of
the
three
districts
that
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
to
vote
for
my
representative.
It
is
also
one
of
the
three
districts
that
will
be
significantly
impacted
by
this
ECR.
If
the
zcr
is
approved,
the
State
Street
Corridor
will
not
be
recognizable
in
a
few
years.
The
70-foot
structures,
with
a
step
down
to
40
feet.
AJ
Will
negatively
impact
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
as
Mr
King
stated
in
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
meeting,
the
zcr
is
not
meant
to
solve
affordability
issues.
Its
purpose
is
to
increase
density
and
use
of
public
transportation.
The
February
city
council,
public
hearing
for
the
six-story
130
unit
apartment
building
on
Ash
Street
is
an
example.
Affordable
fourplexes
will
be
demolished.
Developers
proposed
13,
affordable
units
at
100
of
Ami,
if
required,
to
add
those
to
two
more
affordable.
CF
CF
Owner
would
just
reapply
after
the
CCR
was
approved
and
no
affordability
would
be
required.
The
zcr
includes
incentives,
however,
they
are
not
requirements.
Demolishing
existing,
affordable
housing
will
not
lead
to
new,
affordable
units
taking
their
place.
The
CCR
does
not
address
infrastructure
within
the
city.
The
bus
system
is
currently
looking
at
funding
options
necessary
to
provide
services.
Public
transit
routes
in
Boise
are
already
limited,
and
recent
plans
to
eliminate
some
of
the
current
routes
will
not
serve.
AJ
C
CG
Be
reduced,
neighborhood
notifications
comment
opportunities,
public
hearings
in
the
appeal
process.
Zoning
decisions
are
made
at
each
level
and
there's
little
room
for
review
or
appeal
which
could
increase
inexpensive
legal
action.
Proposed
changes
in
the
cup
criteria
would
allow
a
project
with
public
benefit,
to
avoid
mitigating
impacts
and
project
mitigation
measures
to
which
is
practicable
it.
This
will
make
any
project
much
more
difficult
to
deny
or
condition
this
more
than
opens
the
door
for
any
project
to
claim
public
benefit
and
ignore
any
material,
negative
impacts
not
easily
mitigated.
CG
CG
Thanks
Rosemary,
you
made
one
reference
to
cups
and
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
if
there
was
a
specific
way
that
you
were
wanting,
those
to
be
used
or
a
specific
place
that
you
were
wanting
those
to
be
used,
I
think
that
they
need
to
be
used
in
a
lot
of
different
areas
and
I
think
that
the
code
kind
of
eliminates
those
options
I
think
they
need
I.
Think
what
you
know
getting
a
cup
should
be
a
little
bit
difficult
and
I.
CG
Think
a
lot
of
the
developments
need
to
have
some
of
those
as
part
of
their
approvals.
Great
thank
you
and
for
those
who
don't
know,
that's
a
conditional
use.
Permit
oh
yeah
I.
Did
it
too
I
did
it
too?
I
saw
two
people
that
I
called
online.
Maybe
three
I
saw
Brent
Richard
Madam
mayor.
We
also
have
Robert
Elliott
online
great
all
right,
whichever
just
pick
one.
CG
Okay,
can
you
see
me
and
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
see
and
hear
you
welcome
hi.
My
name
is
Robert
Elliott
and
I
live
at
1037,
West,
Hill,
Street
right
next
to
the
university
and
I
wanted
to
overall
I'm
in
favor
of
the
zoning
code.
Rewrites
that
house
I
live
in
is
a
400
square.
Foot
Adu,
which
was
legal
to
build
in
my
part
of
town
but
I
realize,
is
not
legal
to
build
and
much
of
the
rest
of
the
city
when
I
testified
as
Planning
and
Zoning.
CG
A
few
weeks
ago,
I
heard
one
of
my
neighbors
specifically
call
outs,
my
house
as
inadequate
and
subpar,
and
while
I
understand
that
it's
not
the
right
kind
of
living
situation
for
everybody,
I
really
enjoy
it.
It's
more
than
enough
room
for
my
girlfriend
and
I,
and
we
really
love
being
able
to
live
in
a
affordable
house
and
be
in
a
part
of
town
where
we
can
walk
and
bike
to
everywhere.
CG
We
want
to
get
to
I
ride
my
bike
everywhere,
to
go
to
work,
to
go
to
the
gym,
to
go
to
the
Foothills
I,
just
love
being
able
to
access
everything
without
so
they
need
for
a
car
which
brings
me
to
my
one
issue
with
the
proposed
zoning
code.
Rewrite
and
I-
don't
think
it
goes
far
enough
in
with
the
parking
I
would
prefer
a
parking
maximum
rather
than
you
know
to
rather
than
what's
currently
proposed
with.
You
know,
the
reduced
minimums
I
think
that.
E
Requirements
to
really
limit
what
people
can
build
with
parking
lots
overall,
I
see
them
as
a
giant
waste
of
space.
I
think
it
makes
it
more
difficult
to
walk
in
bike
places,
and
so
that's
my
biggest
issue.
I
just
think
that
we
should
do
more
to
promote
walkability
and
bike
access
and
really
just
make
other
modes
of
transportation
a
lot
better.
That's
all
I
have
thanks.
E
C
AD
C
C
I've
lived
in
this
area
for
34
years
now,
I've
lived
in
my
current
location
for
over
20..
It
took
me
10
years
to
find
a
house
to
a
place
to
buy
here
and
build
here.
It's
an
important
Wildlife
Corridor,
it's
a
great
habitat
and
I've
heard
people
say
on
previous
testimony,
PNC
that
it
shouldn't
exist.
Yet
if
we
want
to
talk
about
open
space,
we
want
to
talk
about
bikeability.
We
want
to
talk
about
walkability.
C
The
trouble
with
the
zoning
rewrite
as
it's
written
now
is
your
carpet
bombing
the
city
with
massive
changes
that
you
have
no
idea
how
good
how
they're
going
to
turn
out
in
the
end
when
you
need
to
be
lazy
using
laser-guided
ammunition,
you
know
the
the
massive
amount
of
change
it
takes
place,
so
this
is
beyond
most
people's
comprehension.
I
have
a
background
as
a
civil
engineer,
I'm
a
professional
engineer.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
factors
that
go
into
the
housing,
affordability
and
I.
Think
the
city
thinks
they're
pulling
on
a
rope
to
help
pull
Housing
Authority
before
forward.
What
they're
doing
is
you're
pushing
the
Rope.
You
have
no
leverage
here
whatsoever.
You
might
get
density,
whether
you
get
affordability
is
going
to
be
a
crapshoot.
C
You
need
to
go
back
and
look
at
a
targeted
approach
and
Zone
in
on
specific
areas
of
the
city
that
make
sense,
and
final
thing
is:
if
you
really
want
to
have
support
and
credibility,
you
need
to
wait
till
after
election,
so
you
have
District
representation
and
you
need
to
communicate
differently,
so
you're
not
just
drawn
in
overwhelming
amount
of
advocacy
groups,
and
you
reach
the
real
people
of
the
city.
Thank
you,
mayor
Richard.
Would
you
be
open
to
a
question
sure
great?
C
Can
you
kind
of
walk
me
through
what
your
opposition
would
be
to
having
a
four
Plex
with
two
affordable
units
in
your
neighborhood,
as
I
mentioned
before
I
spent
10
years?
Looking
for
this
area,
you
were
taking
away
from
in
my
particular
case
and
I
think
you're
doing
this
across
the
city.
The
whole
aspect
of
why
people
bought
here
and
why
you're?
Having
so
many
people
from
the
overlay
oppose
this,
we
bought
into
a
large
lot
community
that,
like
myself,
many
of
us
have
still
private
Wells.
We
have
flood
irrigation.
C
C
As
an
example,
my
house
is
built
with
insulated,
concrete
forms
in
the
basement
sectional
insulated
panels
in
the
walls,
very
energy,
efficient,
very
affordable
energy,
wise
you're,
stipulating
electricity
which
is
not
affordable
because
it's
much
more
expensive
than
gas.
There
are
other
ways
to
reach
Energy
Efficiency,
but
besides
what
you're
dictating
and
finally,
that
is
Mr
fritzly
I'm.
Sorry,
you
answered
my
question.
C
C
Thank
you,
Brent
I
saw
you
there.
You
are
welcome.
I've
solved
the
technicalities
in
the
moment
there
have
been
many
to
get
to
this
moment,
but
we'll
let
them
go.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
members
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
something
that
is
very
dear
to
my
heart
and
I.
Think
to
the
lives
of
most
people
in
Boise,
particularly
for
seven
generations.
To
come.
C
What
I
am
is
I'm
a
Boise
resident
of
over
31
years,
who
own
the
same
piece
of
land
about
a
third
of
an
acre
for
that
time,
and
my
values
have
been
to
create
and
conserve
soil,
build
trees,
promote
nature,
protect,
Wildlife,
pollinators,
build
ponds
and
I've
done
this
with
many
mistakes.
Many
regrets,
I
live
on,
Plum,
Street,
4130,
West,
Plum,
Street
and
I
would
invite
any
City
staff
member
or
a
member
of
this
Council
to
come.
Walk
with
me.
C
I
can
share
with
you
how
this
impacts
the
neighborhood
I
can
share
with
you.
The
the
very
personal
story
of
the
removal
of
a
portable
housing,
directly
easy
to
east
of
me,
which
affects
my
privacy
and
my
proper
sorry
I
had
a
neighbor
dropped
by
basically
I
can't
speak
to
the
complexity
of
this
up
Zone
in
three
minutes,
I'd
like
to
end
with
a
prayer
of
indication
for
your
inspiration
as
the
council
to
make
the
right
decision,
foreign.
C
C
C
And
then
Eric
Shulman,
Jesse,
Lawson
I
think
we
lost
Chris
Meyer
great
ready,
welcome,
Madam
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
Chelsea
harata
I
currently
live
in
the
bore,
neighborhood
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Idaho.
I
grew
up
in
Meridian
and
on
my
18th
birthday,
I
moved
to
Boise
and
I.
Never
looked
back.
Idaho
is
the
only
home
I've
ever
known
and
I've
seen
and
experience
firsthand
how
growth
can
change
and
challenge
us.
My
husband
and
I
love
Boise.
We
met
here
over
10
years
ago,
while
we're
both
working
downtown
me
as
a
barista.
C
Him
is
my
favorite
post
shift.
Bartender
we've
built
a
life
here
with
family
friends,
Hobbies
our
favorite
River
swimming
spots,
bike
routes,
coffee
shops,
food
trucks
and
antique
stores.
I've
met
a
lot
of
other
people
in
Boise
too.
Maybe
I've
made
your
latte.
The
flying
M
poured
you
a
beer
at
the
Boise
Brewing
sold
you
a
loaf
of
bread
at
the
Boise
farmers
market
or
I
met
you
at
one
of
the
aforementioned
favorite
coffee
shops,
food
trucks,
Etc,
I,
feel
lucky
to
call
this
place
home
and
be
part
of
our
community.
C
I've
lived
in
the
North
End
East,
End,
West,
downtown
central
bench
near
BSU.
In
now
the
West
bench,
my
husband
and
I,
recently
moved
back
up
to
the
bench
after
living
at
our
last
home.
For
about
six
years
in
a
single
family
house
near
BSU,
a
few
years
ago,
we
started
hearing
from
our
neighbors
about
their
intent
to
oppose
plans
for
two
different
duplexes,
including
one
right
next
door
to
us.
They
didn't
want
renters
to
ruin
the
feel,
the
character
and
the
property
values
of
our
block.
C
C
Despite
protests
from
some
of
our
neighbors,
both
modest
duplexes
went
up
and
tenants
moved
in
and,
to
be
honest,
very
little
changed.
Our
neighborhood
was
close
enough
to
be
a
shoe
to
become
overflow
parking
during
games
and
big
concerts,
but
even
then
we
could
still
find
street
parking
near
our
home
rather
than
becoming
overgrown
with
weeds.
During
the
summer,
the
new
duplexes
had
zero
escaped
front
yards
and
our
new
neighbors
were
respectful
and
far
less
disruptive
than
the
existing
frat
house
on
the
corner.
C
As
a
renter,
my
place
in
the
community,
I've
loved,
so
dearly
feels
uncertain
and
the
way
I
hear
some
folks
talk
about
renters
who
make
up
over
30
of
Boise
concerns
me.
We
all
deserve
a
good,
safe
home
and
renters
are
just
as
capable
of
being
great
neighbors
and
taking
pride
in
their
home
as
homeowners.
C
Updating
our
zoning
code
to
re-allow
the
types
of
homes
and
businesses
we've
already
had
in
places
like
the
North,
End
and
East
End
in
West
End,
since
the
early
1900s
will
give
more
options
for
all
of
us,
including
renters.
It's
only
one
piece
of
the
affordability
puzzle,
but
I
think
it's
an
important
one.
C
C
All
right,
Jesse
Lawson,
oh
that's
right!
You
raise
your
hand
and
then
we'll
take
somebody
online.
So
if
you
could
please
tee
them
up
and
then
I'm
moving
on
to
the
last
sheet
of
paper.
Folks
greetings
mayor,
McLean,
city,
council
and
staff
really
appreciate
your
service
and
your
work
on
this
I'm
really
here,
just
as
an
individual
I
moved
here
in
2006
from
Portland
Oregon
and
was
able
to
find
affordable
housing
I
had
a
place
to
myself
for
about
the
first
five
years.
It
was
awesome.
C
I
was
paying
like
550
for
a
two
bedroom
duplex
and
it
was
a
great
opportunity
for
me
to
to
I
was
changing
my
life.
You
know
as
far
as
focus
and
stuff
like
that
got
involved
with
radio
Boise
and
was
a
volunteer
there.
A
programmer
for
years
had
opportunities
to
work
with
the
Boise
bison
project.
Shifting
gears
program
love.
This
city
met
my
current
wife
here
she
is
amazing.
C
She's
lived
here
a
lot
longer
than
I
have,
but
it's
I
came
here
really
to
speak
about
the
the
struggle
that
human
beings
are
facing
and
Working
Class,
People
and
I
hear
a
lot
of
objections
to
the
to
the
zoning.
Rewrite
and
I
can
tell
you
that
those
people
are
homeowners
and
that
most
of
their
friends
are
homeowners
and
their
upper
middle
class.
And
how
do
I
know
that?
C
But
I
worry
about
the
people
that
don't
have
the
same
opportunity
as
me
right
so
I've
I
doubled
my
income
how's
the
person
we're
arguing
for
like
the
15
an
hour
wage
right.
Those
people
can't
afford
houses.
They
can't
you
can't
can't
move
now
days
like
I
got
forced
out
of
the
last
place.
I
was
at
the
most
stressful
thing.
That's
happened
to
me
since
I
quit
drinking
was
trying
to
find
a
new
place
to
live
with
that
30
days.
C
That
I
had
to
try
to
find
a
place
for
my
wife
and
I
I
make
good
money
and
I
pay
my
bills
on
time.
I
get
good
credit.
My
wife
has
great
credit.
That
should
not
be
a
struggle
to
find
a
place
to
live.
So
you
know
really.
We
I
just
want
to
come
and
speak
to
the
struggle.
The
emotional
toil
that
that
so
many
people
in
Boise
are
struggling
with
the
you
know.
The
service
workers
I
believe
it's
a
radical
idea.
C
It's
pretty
simple
but
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing.
If
anything,
I
would
take
it
even
further
I
think
we
should
have
laws
that
limit
the
the
increase
in
rent
like
over
time.
That
would
be
a
great
thing
for
our
communities.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
what
trade
you're
part
of,
but
it
looks
like
your
shirt,
says:
you're
an
ironworker,
oh
no.
This
is
actually
a
client
we're
a
member
of
United
Food
and
Commercial
Workers
I
actually
work
at
Lane's
Union.
C
We
build
mobile,
apps
and
websites
for
unions
all
over
the
country
on
all
trades.
Oh
cool,
so
talk
to
we
know,
affordable
housing
is
a
problem
all
over
the
country.
It's
not
your
fault
and
private
investors
have
been
buying
up
20
of
the
single-family
homes
on
the
market
since
2008,
and
so
that's.
What's
artificially
increased
home
prices
over
the
country
thanks
Jesse,
okay,
somebody
online
Madam,
mayor
I
have
Elizabeth
Carter
and
she'll
be
followed
by
Nina
Shafer,
okay,.
C
C
C
C
I'm
Elizabeth,
Carter
and
I
live
at
3808
North
Mountain,
View,
Drive
resident
of
the
83704
zip
code
for
45
years
grew
up
as
a
kid
and
then
wanted
to
move
back
to
the
same
zip
code.
So
yes,
I,
I'm,
very
much
empathize
with
wanting
to
have
home
ownership
to
speak
to
the
last
participant,
I
guess
and
reach
across
the
aisle
is
I
am
a
homeowner
owner
and
I
would
like
to
see
more
affordable
housing
for
home
ownership.
C
Yes,
renting
is
I
mean
I've
rented
when
I
was
in
graduate
school,
I'm
I'm,
not
against
it,
but
I.
Think
one
of
your
previous
speakers
was
it.
Stacy
Donahue
talked
about
her
79
year
old
neighbor,
who
was
being
lured
out
of
his
house
living
on
Social,
Security
and
I.
Don't
know
the
specificity
of
being
able
to
write
a
code,
but
I
would
like
to
cut
out
that
20
that
the
last
speaker
spoke
about
of
investors
who
really
they
don't
they
don't
they
want
their
write-offs?
C
They
don't
give
a
damn
in
home.
Ownership
in
affordable
home
ownership,
I
think
could
happen
with
incentivized
pocket
sales.
I
really
do
think
that
older
people
want
to.
If
they
are
going
to
sell
their
house,
I
think
they
would
like
to
sell
it
to
young
people
who
want
to
own
a
home
in
with
the
rents
going
crazy,
Sky,
High
gosh.
Why?
Why
couldn't
people
be
able
to
turn
a
mortgage?
Essentially
what
they're
paying
in
rent,
so
I
I
am
against
giving
developers
and
investors
cart,
launch
access
to
knocking
down
single
family
dwellings.
C
The
Bungalows
I
live
up
here
on
the
bench
and
would
like
to
see
the
people
wanting
affordability
and
to
have
the
initiative
to
be
able
to
move
into
those
homes
and
and
remodel,
remodel
them,
and
not
have
a
developer,
throw
up
something
that
everyone
keeps
saying:
75
even
40
feet.
I,
don't
want
to
see
that
possibly
an
idea
here
again
a
79
year
old,
who
probably
property
taxes
were
getting
to
them.
C
All
right,
Madame
mayor
the
person
online
is
Nina
Shafer
Nina,
Shafer
hi,
everyone
Hi,
my
name
is
Nina
Shafer
and
I
live
at
117
South
dot.
Street
I
am
here
to
express
my
strong
support
for
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
as
seen
by
my
great
Triple
Decker,
pin
that
you
can
find
in
other
East
Coast
cities.
I
was
born
and
raised
here
in
Boise
and
I
am
an
Alum
from
Boise
State
I.
Currently,
rent
and
I've
served
on
neighborhood
associations.
C
In
the
past,
my
family,
olives,
in
and
around
Boise
and
Boise,
is
a
place
that
I
want
me,
my
friends
and
my
family
to
have
the
option
to
stay.
I.
Think
a
lot
of
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
have
been
hit.
One
thing
I
want
to
bring
up,
is
I'm
really
interested
in
the
departmental
Review
Committee
that
was
brought
up
from
the
zoning
code.
C
Rewrite
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
important
step
to
just
make
sure
that
our
projects
are
are
well
funded
with
infrastructure,
making
sure
all
the
other
agencies
are
involved
and
I.
Think
that's
really
an
improvement.
That's
not
going
to
impact
our
our
day-to-day
lives
as
residents,
but
I
think
we'll
make
a
lot
of
these
projects
a
lot
easier.
C
I
also
want
to
touch
on
the
importance
of
increasing
inventory
and
variety
of
housing,
I
think
more
so
hitting
on
that
variety
of
housing.
It's
so
important
for
for
people
in
my
generation
to
have
some
town
home
options,
some
separate
attached
dwellings,
whether
they
be
condos.
Typically,
these
are
the
ones
that
we
can
afford.
C
The
most
of
my
friends
who
have
purchased
in
the
last
few
years-
all
but
one
have
been
in
town
homes
and
yes,
they
do
have
private
outdoor
space,
including
grass
I
also
think
increasing
inventory
is,
is
going
to
improve
our
rental
fees,
adding
more
competition
in
means
that
if
these
that
we
see
as
renters
today,
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
take.
If
there's
more
competition
out
there
and
I
also
think
that
increasing
the
competition
really
decreases
the
amount
of
real
estate
investment
that
we
see
within
homeownership.
C
Building
this
code
in
my
job
I
work
with
development
and
affordable
housing
projects
throughout
North,
America
and
I,
don't
think
I've
seen
any
other
City
be
as
involved
in
this
process
some
places
they
might
just
be
doing
the
read
doing
their
zoning
code
update
in
one
or
two
public
meetings.
So
I
really
think
the
commitment
that
you
guys
have
put
into
this
code
is
is
really
commendable.
C
Hi
everyone
I'm
Preston
Carter,
representing
Intermountain
Gas
Company
at
601,
West
Bannock,
Street,
Marin,
members
of
the
council,
Intermountain
Gas,
recognizes
and
appreciates
the
efforts
of
all
the
stakeholders
in
this
Monumental
undertaking.
Intermountain
Gas
does
have
legal
concerns
with
two
provisions
of
the
draft
ordinance.
C
These
are
addressed
in
detail
in
our
comment
letter
in
Broad
terms,
the
draft
ordinance
classifies
developments
that
meet
all
their
energy
needs,
using
electricity
or
geothermal
energy
as
an
amenity
for
certain
multi-family
dwellings
and
as
a
condition
for
a
waiver
from
density
and
other
requirements
for
certain
residential
developments.
These
Provisions
are
legally
problematic,
House,
Bill
106,
which
was
recently
passed
by
the
state
legislature,
preempts
city
ordinances
that
prohibit
or
restrict
or
that
have
the
effect
of
prohibiting
or
restricting
the
source
of
energy.
Utility
Services
provided
by
regulated
public
utility.
C
There's
been
talk
about
the
ordinance
that
the
ordinance
creates
an
incentive
and
not
a
restriction,
and
that
this
is
consistent
with
houseboat
106.
We
don't
think
that's
the
case.
First
of
all,
an
incentive
for
a
developer
results
in
a
restriction
on
the
residents
just
to
say
that
again,
an
incentive
for
a
developer
will
result
in
a
restriction
for
the
residents
within
the
development
that
restriction
is
prohibited
by
houseboat
106..
Just,
for
example,
a
developer
comes
to
the
city
and
asks
for
a
density
bonus
for
an
all
geothermal
development.
C
C
and
then
third
Intermountain
Gas
is
obligated
by
state
law
to
serve
all
customers
within
its
certificated
area,
in
accordance
with
the
rules
of
the
Idaho
Public
Utilities
Commission.
This
is
true,
even
if
the
customer
lives
in
a
development
that
is
supposed
to
be
all
geothermal
or
all
electric.
So
if
intermon
gas
receives
a
request
for
a
natural
gas
connection,
it's
illegally
obligated
to
provide
that
connection,
regardless
of
any
restriction
on
energy
sources.
C
Within
the
development
and
this
state
law
obligation
to
serve
to
provide
Natural,
Gas
Service
would
preempt
any
attempt
to
create
an
all
geothermal
or
an
all-electric
development,
just
so
sort
of
Briefly
summarize.
There
are
legal
concerns
regarding
the
provisions
of
the
draft.
The
concerns
relate
to
its
passage,
as
well
as
its
implementation
and
its
enforcement.
We're
happy
to
hold
a
broader
discussion
on
the
issues.
A
deeper
analysis
is
in
our
comment
letter
but
Inner,
Mountain,
Gas,
West,
that
the
provisions
related
to
all
electric
and
all
geothermal
developments
be
removed
from
the
draft
ordinance.
C
C
Can
we
get
clarification
on
that
from
Tim
sure
and
also
about
a
year
and
a
half?
Two
years
ago,
even
we
sat
down
with
internet
Intermountain
Gas
discussed
our
commitment
not
to
make
requirements,
but
interests
and
incentives,
as
well
as
partnership,
to
look
at
how
they
could
respond
to
what
we
would
expect
to
be
future
Market
expectations
that
they
too
are
Innovative
in
the
clean
heat
space.
C
C
Good
evening
Madam
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
Drew
Alexander
and
I'm.
Here
tonight,
representing
Boise
State
University
University's
address
is
1910,
University,
Drive,
Boise,
Idaho,
again,
I'd
like
to
start
and
Echo.
What
many
people
have
already
said
is
to
appreciate
the
long
effort
that
City
staff
has
spent
on
this
effort.
The
Outreach
to
the
university
has
been
consistent
and
thorough,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
work
it's
on
all
hands
on
deck
effort
and
it
has
been
for
years.
So.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
C
We
have
an
employee
housing
assistance
program
that
has
25
rental
homes
right
now,
but
we're
very
eager
to
explore
opportunities
to
expand
that,
and
we
we
think
this
code
allows
us
to
do
that
in
ways
that
are
still
doing
so
in
participation
with
adjoining
neighborhoods
and
increasing
that
inventory.
Thank
you
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
C
Thank
you
and
mayor
I
do
have
a
question
thanks
for
for
being
here
today,
Drew
and
thanks
for
being
involved
in
this
process.
All
the
way
through
I
know,
you've
been
very
involved.
I
am
curious.
If
This
Modern
zoning
code
increases
bsu's
ability
to
provide
housing
for
students
or
if
there
still
is
going
to
need
to
be
a
heavy
reliant
on
the
private
sector,
to
do
the
housing
for
students
as
well,
and
just
any
comments
you
have
in
that
area.
C
It
allows
us
to
consider
different
types
of
housing,
more
intense
housing
or
vertical
housing,
where
I
went
to
my
undergrad,
for
example,
was
in
rural
Indiana
and
they
had
residence
Halls
twice
as
tall
as
what
we
have
on
our
campus
in
a
community
that
has
a
tenth
of
the
population,
and
so
we're
really
going
to
be
able
to
look
at
our
campus
as
a
integral
part
of
downtown
and
rethink
the
dimensional
aspects
of
it.
We're
about
to
begin
construction
this
year
on
a
new
residence
hall
right
along
the
river.
It's
a
very
exciting
site.
C
It's
going
to
be
450
beds
for
first-year
students
that
project.
If
we
were
to
revisit
it
a
few
years
from
now
I
think
we
could
have
done
something
that
was
slightly
different,
slightly
more
vertical
and
preserve
even
more
land
for
other
projects
in
the
core
of
Campus.
We're
not
done
with
our
housing
effort,
but
our
Focus
right
now
is
on
that
first
year,
student,
housing
project
and
I
do
think
this
code
really
allows
us
to
have
a
much
broader
set
of
tools
for
the
housing
that
we
that
we
do
develop.
Yeah.
C
Thank
you
drew
yes,
and
thanks
for
your
service
on
the
committee,
you're
welcome
all
right.
We've
got
one
more
on
the
list.
Does
anybody
else
that's
been
sitting
here?
The
whole
evening
intend
to
testify
yep
I
think
you're,
the
person
on
the
list.
Are
you
Aaron
Reese,
come
on
up
anybody
else
here,
planning
on
testifying
all
right,
you
can
go
if
you're
planning
on
testifying.
Please
come
sit
in
the
front
row
and
I'll.
Just
have
you
step
up?
One
by
one,
all
you
others
are
just
here
for
kicks
all
right.
C
C
I
did
what
I
could
there
and
left
and
worked
with
refugees
in
Switzerland
and
then
I
was
deported
for
the
crime
of
Journalism
I.
Have
here
my
emergency
passport?
It's
odd,
but
it's
me
having
just
recently
come
back.
Boise
is
the
state
that
I
I
think
is
my
home.
I
I
have
a
state
ID
here
I'm
a
member
of
the
cathedral,
Cathedral
of
the
Rockies
church
I
do
Habitat
for
Humanity
here
with
them
a
member
of
the
Y
I.
Can't
I
can't
afford
to
live
indoors.
C
I've
been
sleeping
on
your
lawn
right
here
for
the
last
three
weeks
and
I
just
would
like
to
I.
Don't
want
to
live
in
a
shelter
while
I
find
employment,
I've
been
like
washing
dishes,
just
so
I,
don't
starve.
Just
don't
tell,
but
I
do
have.
I
have
been
looking
for
employment,
I
even
have
employment
opportunities.
Later
this
week
should
I
be
able
to,
you
know,
not
be
hassled
for
sleeping
on
your
lawn,
where
I
feel
safe
and
watched
by
the
cameras.
C
I
don't
want
to
live
in
the
shelter
I.
It's
it's
really
stressful.
The
librarian
social
worker
understands
very
much.
Why
I'm
not
a
good
candidate
to
to
live
in
there,
so
I,
just
I'm
kind
of
please
ask
me
questions
but
I'm,
just
hoping
that
I
can
continue
to
I'll
call
it
a
protest
or
whatever,
but,
like
you
know,
sleep
in
a
tent
on
your
lawn.
While
I
get
my
feet
underneath
me,
I
am
nine
years
sober
I.
C
Have
you
know,
I've
been
to
college
for
10
years,
I
speak
multiple
languages,
I'm
very
employable,
I,
just
part
of
I
have
a
minute
a
part
of
what
makes
the
housing
crisis
so
miserable.
Is
that
when
I
try
to
apply
for
a
job,
someone
in
like
like
a
restaurant
is
gonna
says
to
me
regularly:
oh
dude
you're
going
to
get
hired
by
a
you
know
the
Statesman
or
someone
like
that,
as
if
the
station
would
publish
me
but
like
the
capital,
Sun
I've
applied
for
jobs,
even
at
BSU,
with
all
of
that.
C
They
think
that
someone
like
that's
going
to
hire
me
and
I'll
leave
them.
They
don't
want
to
invest
in
training
me
and
they
don't
those
jobs,
don't
pay
much
anyways,
but
meanwhile,
no
one
wants
a
journalist
and
Julian
Assange
is
being
extradited
and
journalism
is
on.
It's
I
can't
even
make
page
eight
of
a
French
rag
in
Switzerland
without
being
deported
for
exposing
police
brutality.
So
it's
it's
just
it's
just
hard
to
get
work,
even
good,
important
work
that
you
would.
C
C
Good
evening
best
to
place
my
name
on
the
wrong
list
that
was
out
in
the
hallway-
oh
there
might
be
another
one
or
I
might
have
missed
no
I,
don't
think
I
missed
you,
but
that
don't
worry
about
it.
Okay,
yeah
name
is
Daniel
Hutcherson
102,
North
gen
Tony
on
the
East
End,
well,
I'm,
very
much
in
favor
of
Environmental
Protection,
energy
conservation
and
affordable
housing.
C
C
Displacing
residents
for
modest
housing
in
favor
of
high-end
apartments
does
not
improve
affordability.
In
fact,
it
only
displaces
the
elderly
and
the
modest
income
residents
replacing
affordable
homes
with
high
rent
apartments
subject
to
uncontrollable
and
unannounced
increases
in
rents,
with
the
money
flowing
to
the
out
of
state
developers
and
investors.
C
C
Why
does
it
delegate
this
authority
of
the
city
council
to
the
planning
staff,
and
why
does
the
planning
leave
major
decisions
on
zoning
implementation
to
the
planning
director
rather
than
the
city
council
I,
ask
you
to
reject
this,
reject
your
consultants
and
get
back
to
your
job
of
managing
the
city
of
Boise.
Thank
you.
C
Mr
Hutchison
I
have
a
question
so
early
in
your
testimony.
You
spoke
about
taking
out
people
taking
out
yards
and
having
a
lot
of
lot
coverage
and
I
know
that
that's
been
kind
of
an
ongoing
conversation
as
we
roll
this
out.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
considering
is
limiting
lot
coverage
much
in
the
way
that
we
do
in
a
lot
of
other
places
to
35
percent
of
the
lot.
Do
you
think
that
that
would
help?
And
that's
regardless
of
how
many
units
there
are?
Do
you
think
that
that
would
help
that
situation?
C
C
When
you
put
the
roof
above
the
tree
canopy,
you
increase
the
hot
signature,
hot
roof
signature
of
the
city
and
makes
the
trees
ineffective
tree
shade
is
good
below
the
tree
above
the
tree
tree
shade
doesn't
do
anything
okay,
so
you're
just
opposed
no
matter
what
kind
of
concessions
that
we
make,
no
matter,
what
kind
of
adjustments
that
we
make
just
you
just
want
us
to
reject
it
all
right.
You
can't
double
the
density
and
keep
the
density
low.
C
C
Okay,
great
sir
welcome
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Walter
Rock
and
I
live
in
a
new
Thomas
Logan
building
at
528,
West,
Grove,
Street
and
I.
Have
many
concerns
about
this
parking
is
a
huge
concern.
For
example,
with
this
new
Thomas
Logan
building
the
building
is
very
nice
it.
It
was
well
planned
fairly
well,
but
there
were
other
glitches
that
occurred
during
its
conception.
Originally,
there
was
60
bike
spaces
for
inside
the
building.
By
the
time
it
was
erected
that
was
reduced
to
only
12..
C
The
other
problem
is
there's
no
parking
on
the
street
or
in
the
parking
lots
for
residents.
It's
you
have
to
pay
150
a
month
to
park
your
car
and
as
a
senior
citizen,
that's
very
concerning
because
I
have
a
long
history
in
the
state
of
Idaho.
My
father's
family
is
third
generation.
My
mother's
family
is
fourth
generation
I'm
lifetime
idahoan
in
the
60s
and
70s.
C
You
know
to
put
this
into
perspective
picture.
If
you
will
that
tomorrow,
starting
tomorrow,
you,
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
picture
paying
four
thousand
dollars
a
month
to
park
your
car,
because
you
can't
park
it
in
your
own
driveway
that
that's
that's
one
of
the
major
concerns
and
growth
in
this
community
has
to
be
done
smartly
and
properly
to
address
all
the
issues.
I've
lived
homeless
in
this
community
as
well
off
and
on,
and
you
know,
planning
for
the
curing
of
the
Homeless
Problem.
C
It's
something
that
we
can
do
here
if
things
are
addressed
right,
you
know
streamlining
the
process
for
the
sanctuary
project
and
getting
that
going
and
and
doing
other
things
that
will
improve
the
situation
for
the
current
homeless
and
reducing
the
producer
homeless
population
is
very
important.
Walter
you've
hit
time.
Let
you
go
a
little
bit
over
I.
Think
you've
got
a
question
here
from
council
member
Hallie,
Burton,
okay,
Madam
mayor
Walter,
no
question
for
you.
Thanks
for
coming,
I,
really
really
appreciate
it.
C
If
staff
could
put
a
pin
in
this
question
as
well,
because
I
do
believe
this
was
a
conversation
specifically
about
the
Logan,
how
the
bike
parking
issue
was
created
and
I
believe
that
that
was
something
that
we
addressed
and
fixed
in
the
plan
and
so
ask
a
question
of
Staff
later
about
that
specific
issue,
to
make
sure
that
we've
kind
of
addressed
that
going
forward.
I
think
that
we
already
have
but
I'll
double
check
at
a
future
meeting,
so
staff
just
put
it
in
that
question.
C
If
you
would,
the
council
member
also
remind
you
I'm
sure
you
haven't
forgotten
last
night
I
think
it
was
Marissa
Keith
suggested
we
should
be
looking
at
bike
requirements
per
bedroom
rather
than
per
hate,
saying
unit
per
home,
and
so
that
is
something
that
I
expect
staff
will
address
with
us
on
Thursday
and
and
had
that
been
done.
Mr
Ronk
with
the
Logan
I
think
that
would
have
met
some
of
the
needs
as
well
yeah
all
right.
Thank
you,
sir.
Very
much.
Anybody
else
we're
here.
C
We
will
I'm
not
a
mayor
before
we
adjourn
or
what
I'd
like
to
get
some
clarification
on,
how
staff
is
compiling
some
of
the
suggestions
and
the
process.
For
that
sure
the
staff
has
taken
I
would
say
they're
going
to
come
back
Thursday
with
answers
based
on
conversations
yesterday,
anything
that
came
up
today-
and
this
is
not
a
Planning
and
Zoning
appeal.
So
there
can
also
be
discussion
with
staff
and
with
Council
leadership
apart
from
being
on
the
dice.
C
If
there
are
things
that
you
want
to
make
sure
are,
are
covered
or
you've
got
questions
about.
Thank
you
all
right
with
that.
We
will
recess
until
tomorrow,
at
four
o'clock.
Okay
and
tomorrow,
we're
going
to
start
at
four
we've
we're
going
to
do
the
same
thing.
Everybody
that's
signed
up
already,
we'll
start
with
and
we'll
see.
Who
else
is
here
we'll
break
for
dinner
at
about
5
30
and
then
pick
back
up
at
six
and
we'll
see
you
tomorrow?
