A
Thank
you,
andrea,
and
I
will
add
my
thanks
for
those
of
you
who
are
spending
some
of
your
evening
here.
I'm
a
director
with
clarion
associates
we're
a
consulting
firm,
that's
based
in
denver,
and
we
have
been
working
with
the
city
for
some
years
and
one
of
the
things
we
learned
early
and
often-
and
we
continue
to
learn-
is
how
much
boise
residents
care
about
their
city.
So
I
this
is
an
evidence
of
it,
and
I
thank
you
for
being
here
now.
We
will
try
the
hardest
part
of
the
evening.
A
A
This
is
a
fairly
short
presentation.
Andrea,
give
me
a
thumbs
up
if
you
can
see
and
hear
me
properly
right
now,
good
all
right.
So,
just
by
way
of
background,
as
I
said,
our
firm
clarion
associates
has
been
working
with
boise
on
various
projects
over
many
years.
We
are
national,
ladies
consulting
firms,
and
we
do
plans
and
we
were
instrumental
in
working
with
the
city
on
blueprint
boise,
but
I
I
spend
my
life
writing
development
codes
for
cities
and
we've
done
over
200
of
them
updates
and
complete
rewrites.
A
That's
what's
going
on
now,
we
a
couple
of
years
ago
there
was
a
reorganization
of
your
ordinance.
We
were
involved
in
that
as
well,
when
this
came
around
to
align
it
with
the
new
plan.
We
bid
on
it
and
we
were
successful
and
we're
very
happy
to
have
been
successful
so,
but
this
is
what
we
do.
I
do
want
to
make
one
clarification:
our
firm
does
not
represent
developers.
A
I
am
not
representing
developers,
our
clients
are
cities
and
counties
who
want
to
improve
their
zoning
ordinances
and
their
development
regulations
to
better
achieve
their
plans
and
also
to
improve
citizen
engagement.
The
predictability
of
the
process,
so
this
is
what
we
do
for
a
living.
This
is
not
a
side
light.
This
is
what
we
do
for
a
living.
So
here's
the
team,
you
see
my
picture
there
and
you'll
see
that
we
have,
in
addition,
diane
cushland's
on
the
call
she
is
based
in
boise
and
she's,
going
to
be
leading
the
interactive
events.
A
In
addition,
darcy
white,
who
was
very
involved
in
developing
blueprint,
boise
and
gabby
hart
and
holly
white,
are
the
the
rest
of
the
consulting
team
who
will
be
working
on
this
rewrite
of
the
zoning
ordinance.
So
the
you
know
plans
to
set
visions,
zoning.
It
sets
the
rules
and
incentives
that
help
them
happen
and
that's
what
this
team
is
going
to
be
working
on.
So
let's
talk
about
it,
it's
really
about
implementing
blueprint.
Boise
you've
had
this
plan.
Interestingly,
it's
been
people
have
asked
over
several
times
in
the
course
of
the
last
several
years.
A
A
You
have
a
comp
plan,
it's
about
implementing
it
and
building
in
the
mayor's
new
emphasis
on
creating
a
city
for
everyone,
and
you
can
see
what
it
is,
what
the
framework
of
that
is
safe
and
healthy
city
home
for
everyone,
movement,
clean
city,
opportunity
for
engaging
everyone.
That's
what's
going
on
here,
trying
to
engage
citizen
stakeholders.
A
This
sounds
like
jargon,
but
there
are
several
kind
of
angles
through
which
you
can
write.
Zoning
ordinances.
One
is
a
traditional
ordinance.
One
is
form-based
one's
performance-based.
I
don't
need
to
explain
them
tonight,
other
than
to
say
we
intend
to
bring
to
boise
the
best
tool
that
we
think
can
implement
it
in
boise,
implement
the
plan
in
boise
in
an
engaging
way
that
makes
it
a
city
for
everyone.
A
We
don't
have
a
model
in
mind
that
we
are
trying
to
follow,
trying
to
incentivize
great
design
and
diverse
mixed
use,
streamlining
development
procedures
and
increasing
predictability.
Some
citizens
get
worried
about
that
gee.
That
sounds
like
I'm
not
going
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table.
Yes,
you
will,
but
I
have
yet
to
have
a
client
in
my
30
28
years
of
doing
this.
That
said,
please
make
my
com
my
process
more
complicated.
A
Everybody
wants
it
to
be
streamlined
and
as
efficient
as
possible,
while
engaging
the
citizens
from
stakeholders
and
also
predictable,
because
the
more
unpredictable
it
is,
the
more
developers
will
walk
away
and
say
I
don't
need
that.
I
I
just
don't
need
that
brain
damage
and
boy
he's
a
great
city.
I
thought
I
could
do
it,
but
I've
I've
watched
other
people
get
tied
up
in
this
stuff
and
not
only
the
time
and
expense
but
the
unpredictability.
I'm
I'm
just
not
interested
in
that.
So
that's
why
it
is
not.
A
I
don't
work
for
developers,
it's
not
pro
developer,
it's
it's
good
governance
and
we're
trying
to
aim
in
that
direction
and,
of
course,
a
user-friendly
structure.
You
have
done
a
lot
of
work
in
addition
to
blueprint,
boise
community
conversations,
keeping
boise
moving
growing
our
housing,
it's
impressive
over
the
years
since
blueprint
boise
how
many
efforts
have
gone
into
and
then
the
mayor's
new
focus
groups
and
and
those
reports
to
try
to
refine
this
vision,
each
one
of
which
kind
of
built
on
it
and
added
detail
and
added
goals
and
added
nuance
and
color
to
it.
A
All
of
that
is
the
foundation
that
we
hope
to
roll
into
the
new
zoning
ordinance.
It's
organized
like
this.
We
have
been
working.
We
we
actually
started
this
shortly
before
the
new
mayor
got
elected
last
year,
but
it
was
put
on
pause
to
allow
to
make
sure
that
that
she
was
comfortable
and
that
her
view
of
engaging
citizens
and
implementing
this
plan
was
very
much
a
part
of
this
effort.
A
So
we've
spent
most
of
the
last
year,
organizing
the
work,
and
we
have
done
a
little
outreach,
but
basically
starting
now
they
that
the
role
is
continue
to
do
that.
Outreach,
listen
to
people,
listen
to
what
they
like,
what
they
don't
like,
listen
to
what
they
would
like.
The
zoning
ordinance
to
do
better,
listen
to
what
they
just
wish
would
never
happen
again
in
boise.
Third
is
drafting
it,
so
they're
two
steps
before
we
even
start
drafting
it
and
we
do
it
in
installments.
A
So
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
later,
but
to
make
it
easier
for
citizens
to
understand
the
changes
that
are
being
proposed
and
to
form
an
opinion
as
to
whether
they
like
them
or
don't
like
them
or
really
don't
like
them.
We
need
to
do
it
in
installments,
so
we
can
wrap.
We
can
help,
you
wrap
your
minds
around
and
we
can
wrap
our
minds
around
a
related
set
of
problems.
A
What
are
the
right
zone
districts
and
uses?
What
are
the
development
standards
that
would
best
implement
the
goals
and
then,
finally,
this
question
of
procedure
after
we
have
done
that
in
three
steps,
we
will
put
out
a
consolidated
draft
of
the
zoning
on
that
knits,
it
all
together
and
then,
obviously,
even
after
that
has
happened,
there
will
be
further
changes
so
just
to
conceptualize
we're
here,
starting
today.
This
is
the
beginning
of
phase
two.
There
will
be
at
least
three
more
rounds
of
public
engagement.
A
A
None
of
this
is
a
proposal
for
the
city
to
begin,
considering
as
the
new
zoning
order
until
you
get
to
phase
five
most
of
the
time,
the
vast
majority
of
the
time
is
trying
to
get
a
draft.
That
is
good
enough
for
time.
Prime
time
reflects
everybody's
best
thinking
and
reflects
the
comments
and
feedbacks
that
have
happened.
Then
you
start
saying:
okay,
now
we're
ready
to
have
formal
processes
so
organizing
it
that
first
step
kickoff
meetings,
we've
had
some
we
are
having
more
stakeholder
interviews.
A
Obviously
you
know
appointed
elected
officials
and
then
refining
the
scope
of
work
in
the
work
plan.
This
is
a
unique
job
in
that
we
kind
of
started
this.
Last
year,
new
mayor
was
elected.
It
was
paused
and
we're
continuing
that
work
to
say:
okay,
it's
it's
a
new
administration,
they
have
new
guidance
and
how
do
we
reflect
that
new
guidance
in
the
process
and
how
we
organize
this
work?
A
A
These
are
questions
that
come
up
often
because
most
citizens
just
don't
do
zoning
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
and
we
very
much
don't
want
this
to
be
speaking
greek.
We
want
people
to
understand
how
zoning
works
and
to
have
their
questions
answered
so
faqs
are
there.
The
project
website
is
a
is
a
a
source
of
information
so
that
you
can
get
on
there
and
not
only
do
that,
but
click
to
sign
up
to
get
notices
or
if
your
neighbor
is
interested
or
your
mother
or
anybody
is
interested,
there's
an
open-ended
email
list.
A
This
is
not
a
closed
shop.
We've
done
a
lot
of
these
around
the
country
over
time.
That
list
gets
longer
and
longer
and
longer
as
more
people
find
out
and
say.
All
I
have
to
do
is
click
and
find
out
what's
going
on
and
get
invited
to
the
next
meeting
right
now.
Obviously,
public
engagement,
public
talking
and
back
and
forth
and
discussion
is
very
important.
That
needs
to
be
interactive.
You're,
going
to
see
the
start
of
that
tonight,
but
it
also
right
now
needs
to
be
virtual.
A
A
Again
we
do
this.
We
do
this
to
give
people
multiple
rounds
of
input
and
to
build
the
zoning
orders
from
the
bottom
up.
The
foundation
is,
do
we
have
the
right
zone
districts
to
implement
blueprint,
boise
and
in
each
one
of
them?
Are
you
being
allowed
to?
You
do
have
the
right
list
of
the
building
types
and
intensities
and
the
uses
that
well
that's
the
foundation,
that's
the
framing
of
the
city.
If
we
went
in
that
direction,
we
would
be
creating
the
boise
that
blueprint.
A
Boise
says
we
want,
after
that
parking
landscaping,
lighting
signs
things
that
have
to
do
with
how
good
does
it
have
to
be?
How
is
the
access?
How
do
we
prevent
traffic
on
local
streets?
That
is
something
you
need
to
know
after
you
know
whether
somebody's
going
to
be
able
to
build
a
moderate-sized
building
or
a
small
building
or
a
hotel
or
a
mixed
use
or
a
multi-family.
A
That's
all
number
one
number
two
is
okay.
How
do
we
lay
it
out?
How
good
does
it
have
to
be?
What
are
our
standards
here
in
the
city
of
boise?
Finally,
after
you
know
those
ground
rules,
if
if
this
matches
our
vision
of
the
uses
and
districts-
and
that
is
the
standards
that
boise
wants
to
achieve
in
new
development
in
light
of
those
new
rules
or
revised
rules,
how
efficient
and
transparent
and
predictable
would
we
make?
A
Could
we
make
the
approval
process
without
feeling
that
we
had
disenfranchised
anybody
that
if
this
process
worked,
we
would
not
have
to
have
so
many
hearings
or
such
a
long
time
frame
to
deal
with
development?
Again,
that's
generally
around
the
country
considered
better
governance.
So
again,
you
can
see
the
right
hand
column.
I
won't
read
it
all.
Here's
the
time
frame
we
are
getting
going
on
the
kickoff.
We've
already
showed
you
the
frames
in
q4
we're
gonna
do
more
of
this
outreach.
We
have
another
couple
months
to
do
it
in.
A
Obviously
that
will
continue
on,
but
this
is
this
phase
two
is
kind
of
how
do
we?
How
do
we
wrap
our
heads
around?
What's
already
been
done
to
understand
how
boise
works,
what
people
have
already
told
us
what
staff
has
already
spotted
that
are
mistakes
or
problems,
and
what
does
the
new
advisory
committee
say?
And
what
do
you
say?
What
does
everybody
say
that
will
guide
this
as
we
go?
A
That
will
obviously
continue,
but
we
don't
want
to
start
writing
until
we
have
cast
a
wide
net
and
made
sure
that
we
have
done
so
in
ways
that
the
new
administration
supports
and
believes
is
the
right
amount
of
outreach
to
at
least
make
sure
we've
heard
major
things
before
we
even
stop
right
start
writing
now.
As
I
said
earlier,
you
can
see
how
it
trickles,
down
from
there
zoning
on
those
drafts
and
three
in
three
installments,
then
a
proposed
map,
an
integrated
staff
draft.
A
consolidated
draft
will
test
them.
A
If,
if
everybody
thinks
those
are
the
right
rules,
let's
take
some
things
we
like
to
have
happen
to
boise.
Do
they
pass
or
do
we
need
to
change
the
rules?
Let's
take
some
things.
We
hope
never
happen
again
in
boise.
Do
they
fail?
Okay,
then
we
better
think
about
if
they
don't
fail
and
we
don't
want
it
to
happen
again.
We
better
tweak
the
standards,
then
the
public
draft
and
then
transition
planet.
How
do
we
move
to
the
new
system?
Then?
There
is
public
review
again.
A
We've
seen
two
quarters
six
months
of
public
review,
followed
by
adoption.
So
the
next
steps
refine
the
approach
to
public
engagement.
It
is
difficult
under
the
covet
era.
It's
particularly
difficult
for
low-income
communities
and
communities
of
color
and
communities
of
people
with
limited
abilities
and
planning
is
trying
very
hard
to
be
better
than
we
have
in
the
past
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
talking
to
the
engaged
folks
with
a
lot
of
time
on
their
hands,
we're
talking
to
everybody
who
has
an
interest
in
the
future
boise.
A
If
that
requires
that
we
restructure
this
in
some
way
to
look
at
that,
and
then
we
have
a
draft,
but
we
are
going
to
be
preparing
a
revised
assessment
again.
We
we
started
looking
at
boise
code
a
year
ago,
and
that
too
has
been
put
on
pause.
Let's
not
assume,
that's
right.
Let's
ask
folks
in
2020
what
we
think
we
have
seen
and
and
and
just
say
what
do
you,
what
did
we
miss
what's
wrong?
What
do
you
disagree
with?
A
Let's,
let's
make
sure
the
assessment
of
what's
wrong
or
what
could
be
better
is
accurate
in
light
of
2020
and
in
light
of
a
new
administration
and
a
year
has
passed
and
then
take
that
out
and
say
look.
This
is
the
road
map.
This
is
where
we
think
we're
going
based
on
this
additional
intensive
public
outreach
that
always
changes
along
the
way,
but
it's
very
helpful
to
not
waste
your
time
and
money
by
saying.
B
B
And
we
will
begin
with
the
interactive
portion
of
our
seminar
that
will
actually
consist
of
three
specific
questions.
The
first
will
be
achieving
the
vision
of
blueprint
boise
and
how
we
can
do
that
we'll
also
be
seeking
input
as
to
how
we
can
balance
the
new
demands
that
our
city
has
placed
on
it
based
on
growth
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
look
at
item
number
three
is:
how
can
we
truly
create
a
city
for
everyone,
so
to
begin
the
interactive
session,
I
would
like
to
invite
everybody
to
go
to
slido.com.
B
B
F
F
I
think,
if,
if
something
good
has
come
out
of
the
last
few
months
of
being
coked
up
and
not
being
able
to
interact
in
in
in
real
time
and
face
to
face
it
is
that
we've
been
able
to
tap
into
some
really
innovative
and
fun
opportunities
to
interact
with
all
of
you,
so
we'll
be
looking
for
your
feedback
on.
If
this
was
a
meaningful
and
helpful
exercise
for
all
of
you,
so
and-
and
hopefully
it
will
be
that
we
can
continue
to
use
this
in
the
future.
F
So
the
first
interaction
as
andrea
mentioned
is
related
to
the
vision
and
those
of
you
who
have
been
in
the
community
for
a
while
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
involvement
by
citizens
in
the
blueprint
boise
and
the
plan
of
you
know
it's
not
something.
You
probably
read
before
you
go
to
bed
at
night,
but
it
really
does
have
some
very
good
value
statements
in
it
and-
and
we
think
these
are
important
to
revisit
tonight
and
think
about
how
they
can
be
carried
forward
in
the
zoning
code.
F
F
Now,
if,
if
you're
familiar
with
word
cloud,
we're
going
to
be
using
that
to
to
reflect
your
responses,
so
try
to
keep
your
responses
as
short
as
you
can,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
at
the
end
of
our
presentation,
of
these
three
questions
for
you
to
expand
and
give
us
written
comments
or
speak.
So
you
might
want
to
take
some
notes
as
we
go
through
these
questions
as
well.
F
F
F
F
F
So
the
questions
for
you
are
and
there's
two
of
them
that
are
related.
How
do
you
think
boise
can
accommodate
the
new
people
and
good
jobs
while
maintaining
a
predictable
development
pattern
and
are
there
new
kinds
of
housing
developments
that
could
help
achieve
both
of
those
goals,
those
goals
being
predictable,
development
pattern
and
a
strong,
diverse
economy?
F
F
F
F
F
B
No,
I
think
this
is
really
valuable
input
from
our
group
tonight.
We've
heard
a
lot
of
things
that
are
actually
in
our
comprehensive
plan,
so
housing
people
in
different
ways,
so,
whether
that's
in
a
mixed
use
area
considering
tight,
tiny
housing,
differing
lot
sizes
that
would
accommodate
different
types
of
homes.
B
F
F
F
F
So
this
is
around
the
theme
of
creating
a
city
for
everyone
and
mayor
mclean's.
Initial
community
outreach
resulted
in
a
series
of
goal
to
make
boise
a
city
for
everyone,
so
our
questions
are-
and
there
are
two
of
these
again-
who
do
you
think-
is
not
being
included
in
the
housing
economy
or
quality
of
life
that
makes
boise
so
special,
and
how
could
the
zoning
ordinance
do
a
better
job
to
make
sure
everyone
is
included
and
shares
the
benefit
of
a
better
boise
in
the
future.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
B
B
What
your
income
level
is,
where
you're
at
in
life,
making
sure
that
not
only
do
you
have
a
home,
that's
for
you,
but
for
ways
that
you
can
travel
throughout
the
city
to
get
to
work,
to
get
to
school,
to
get
to
your
job
or
really
those
goods
and
services
that
each
one
of
us
needs.
So
this
is
really
great
information,
and
I
appreciate
everybody
spending
their
evening
with
us.
B
B
F
G
B
B
B
B
B
E
So
therefore,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
really
don't
give
us
the
respect
that
we
deserve.
We
are
seniors
who
have
who
have
worked
many
years
to
have
some
kind
of
a
hashtag
decent
life.
People
in
the
community
that
I
live
in.
I
live
in
blackburn
mobile
home
park,
most
of
most
of
them.
95
of
the
folks
that
live
here
are
handicapped
they're.
They
are
on
a
very
fixed
income
and
the
mayor
that
ran
or
from
the
lady
that
ran
for
mayor.
I
Next,
hello,
hi
yeah,
my
name
is
erin
and
thank
you
so
much
for
hosting
this.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
ever
participated
in
something
like
this,
and
I'm
really
excited
I'm
here,
because
I
want
to
primarily
advocate
for
integrating
food
and
local
food
production
back
into
our
everyday
lives
within
the
city.
I
think
that
building
resilient
food
systems
is
something
that
zoning
codes
specifically
can
address,
and
I
realize
this
is
a
really
complex
topic
that
there
isn't
a
single
solution
that
we
can
reach
on.
I
J
I
think
it'd
be
important
that
they're
kind
of
included
in
this
conversation,
given
that
the
direct
impact
or
the
direct
connection
between
like
zoning
decisions
and
our
climate
policy,
then
also
just
thinking
about
the
kind
of
the
racial
justice
aspect
and
who
we
include
from
that
perspective
and
making
sure
that
both
outside
voices
and
things
like
that,
if
the
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
steering
committee
within
the
city
could
be
included.
I
think
that
would
maybe
be
helpful.
B
Thank
you,
ryan,
and
just
to
answer
some
of
your
questions.
We
do
have
a
number
of
advisory
committees
or
technical
committees
that
we
are
going
to
heavily
rely
on.
One
is
our
citywide
advisory
committee
and
we
selected
20
members
that
went
through
an
application
process.
Each
one
of
those
members
was
selected
by
our
mayor.
B
Those
are
our
people
that
use
our
code
really
quite
regularly
they're
going
to
be
the
ones
that
are
going
to
be
able
to
test
each
one
of
these
items,
as
as
we
develop
them
further,
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
they
are
effective
and
that
they're
essentially
doing
what
we
need
them
to
do
so
implementing
blueprint
boise
and
then
we
also
have
a
number
of
individuals
throughout
our
city.
So
we've
selected
individuals
from
each
department
that
will
also
participate
as
we
move
through
the
process,
and
so
we
will
be
including
our
public
works
division.
B
K
Catamela
he
did
good
david
yeah,
just
like
just
like
it
looks
like
good.
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
First
of
all,
thanks
everyone
for
your
time
and
secondly,
I
think
what
I'm
recognizing
is
that
boise
has
an
opportunity
that
maybe
other
cities
have
squandered
we're,
not
we're
not
past
the
point
where
we
can
grow
responsibly,
and
I
want
to
kind
of
dovetail
on
what
aaron
was
talking
about
food
and
food
production,
with
some
comments
about
switching
to
native
plants
that
don't
use
so
much
water.
K
Another
another
thing
that
strikes
me
and
this
may
be
a
little
bit.
I
don't
know
if
off
color
is
the
word,
but
boise
is
so
attractive
that
businesses
want
to
come
here
and
they
bring
jobs
here,
and
my
view
is
that,
if
we're
so
attractive,
people
that
come
here
and
want
to
come
here
with
their
businesses,
which
is
which
is
good,
should
pay
for
the
opportunity
to
live
in
boise.
B
L
B
B
B
The
zoning
rewrite
needs
to
keep
this
in
mind,
and
we
would
like
to
let
you
know
that,
andrew
that
we
are
evaluating
all
of
our
population
and
growth
throughout
the
years.
So
we
have
been
working
with
our
agency
partners
and
one
of
those
is
the
community
planning
association
of
southwest
idaho
and
we've
identified
how
our
demographics
will
grow
over
time.
M
B
So
that
is
on
our
list
of
uses
that
may
be
appropriate
and
should
be
integrated
into
the
city
fabric,
and
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
also
to
let
everybody
know
that
we
will
have
a
public
survey
available
and
it
asks
you
some
more
detailed
questions.
So,
if
you
don't
feel
like,
you
have
had
the
opportunity
to
fully
express
your
ideas
or
your
suggestions,
the
public
survey
will
allow
you
to
do
that.
N
Thanks
again
for
providing
this
opportunity
to
provide
some
input
on
the
process,
I
know
it's
already
been
acknowledged
that
climate
resiliency
and
sustainability
and
diversity
inclusion
it's
important
to
this
process
moving
forward.
I
just
want
to
mention-
and
I
think
boise
is
at
a
crossroads
where
this
can
be
avoided.
N
B
Thank
you
eric
and
just
to
provide
some
additional
information.
The
first
question-
or
I
guess
more
of
a
comment-
was
really
in
regard
to
sustainability,
both
economically
as
well
as
protecting
our
people
throughout
time.
So
that
is
most
certainly
our
goal
and
we
will
be
taking
all
of
that
into
consideration.
If
you
have
any
specific
ideas,
like
I
said,
we'd
love
to
hear
your
comments.
Please
fill
out
the
public
survey.
B
Let
us
know
what
your
thoughts
are
and
how
we
can
achieve
that,
and
then
we
have
provided
a
significant
amount
of
thought
of
how
we
can
engage
those
marginalized
individuals-
and
you
know
we
have
a
pretty
comprehensive
engagement
plan
that
we'll
be
looking
at,
so
everything
will
be
provided
in
english,
but
we
will
also
be
providing
our
written
documentation
in
spanish
as
well
and
so
you'll
notice.
Our
public
survey
will
both
be
available
in
english
and
spanish.
B
All
of
our
public
engagement
events
similar
to
this
evening,
we
will
be
having
asl
interpreters.
That
will
also
be
helping,
and
then
we've
also
got
a
number
of
ways
where
we
can
go
out
and
visit
with
individuals,
and
so
we
have
a
plan
that
we
would
like
to
spend
some
one-on-one
time
with
individuals
in
our
libraries,
and
so
we
will
be
going
to
the
satellite
libraries
located
throughout
the
city
and
we'll
have
a
city
planner,
that's
able
to
discuss
any
concerns
or
recommendations
or
even
help.
B
Somebody
understand
some
of
those
difficult
words
and
those
jargons
that
we
we
normally
use
in
our
professions.
That
may
not
be
out
there
and
we're
going
to
take
all
of
that
information
and
make
sure
that
it's
disseminated.
We
are
also
having
hard
copies
of
our
survey
available,
so
we're
hoping
to
take
those
to
our
libraries.
B
They
will
have
a
postage
stamped
paid
so
that
that
information
can
be
returned.
We
also
have
my
email
address
and
my
telephone
number.
So
if
somebody
doesn't
feel
comfortable
filling
out
a
survey,
perhaps
they
have
trouble
reading,
then
I
can
go
ahead
and
help
them.
I
know
that
we
have
a
number
of
participants
on
this
particular
meeting.
That
called
me.
You
know
within
the
week
and
said:
how
can
I
participate
in
this
event?
B
B
We
also
have
a
number
of
groups
that
have
asked
us
to
come
out
and
speak.
So
we
do
have
an
accessibility
group
that
has
asked
us
to
come
out
and
speak.
We've
got
some
builders
that
would
like
to
hear
from
us
the
american
institute
of
architects.
The
local
chapter
has
also
asked
us
to
come
out
and
speak
with
them
to
really
get
our
message
out
and
we
can't
do
it
alone.
B
B
B
O
Sorry,
I'm
not
technically
advantaged,
so
I'm
I'm
coming
at
this
from
a
different
angle.
As
you
all
know,
I've
worked
for
the
public
and,
for
the
last
I'd
say,
20
years,
I've
done
development
projects
so,
and
I
also
live
in
the
city
of
boise,
which
I
have
a
strong
interest
in,
and
I've
I've
only
developed.
I
would
say,
over
the
last
10
years
about,
I
would
say,
10
projects
in
boise
they
buy
in
all
very
small.
O
The
other
part
of
our
business
has
been
real
estate
and
I
can
say
that
the
real
estate
market
is
getting
to
the
point
where
we're
pricing
out
our
locals
and
part
of
that's
due
to
a
lack
of
supply.
We're
we're
now.
Our
medium
home
in
in
price
in
ada
county
is
at
about
401
000
someone,
that's
making
a
decent
income
here
in
the
valley
can't
afford
that.
So
what
we
need
to
figure
out.
What
to
do
is
how
to
increase
our
housing
supply.
O
What
we're
not
doing
is
expanding
the
areas
that
property
can
be
developed,
we're
doing
some
small
projects
at
eustic
and
milwaukee,
but
they're
coming
in
at
you
know,
for
450
000.
For
a
town
home
project,
our
our
lots
now
are
unaffordable
to
locals,
and
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
try
to
figure
out
how
to
increase
the
area
of
city
impact,
which
you
know
we
don't
want
to
go
north
into
the
foothills.
O
But
we've
got
a
ton
of
land.
South
we've
talked
about
adding
the
10
mile
air
10
mile
creek
area
into
that,
but
there's
also
areas
that
are
south
on
coal
road
that
can
be
added
into
this
into
the
city
or
into
the
area
of
impact
that
we
could
add
into
the
city
that
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
doing.
O
I
think
we
need
to
start
figuring
out
where
we're
going
to
start
putting
people
because
they're
going
to
the
homeless.
People
is
how
we're
gonna
shelter
them.
You
know
where
we
are
going
to
put
them
either
in
tents
and
tiny
homes
or
what,
but
I
I
think,
as
a
city.
We
need
to
start
thinking
about
that
now,
because
it's
coming,
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
in
our
zoning
code.
O
O
Options
or
incentives
to
bring
them
in
short
term,
but
I
think
they
need
to
have
incentives,
come
into
town
and
start
figuring
out
how
we
increase
that,
because,
right
now
our
main
source
of
businesses
are,
you
know
the
microns,
the
hps
and
some
other
larger
things,
the
the
senses.
But
what
we
need
to
do
is
get
more
of
those
industrial
uses
to
come
in,
so
we
can
supply
the
the
job
force.
That's
coming
because,
right
now,
the
only
only
folks
that
were
supplying
for
job
force
is
the
construction
industry.
O
You
know
we,
we
got
a
plumber
that
we're
paying
200
bucks
an
hour
for,
and
the
only
reason
is
because
there's
no
competition
for
that
plumber.
You
know
we
need
more
diversified
workforce
than
just
in
the
construction
industry,
because
in
a
certain
amount
of
time
that
industry
is
going
to
take
a
hit,
and
we
need
to
plan
for
that-
and
I
guess
lastly,
from
a
real
estate
perspective,
that
you
know
we
do
half
our
business
in.
We
also
need
to
think
about.
What's
going
on
with
the
commercial
real
estate,
it's
taking
a.
O
B
B
So,
as
we
all
think
about
these
things,
it's
really
interesting.
I
hope
that
we
evaluate
a
delicate
balance
between
growing
and
how
we
can
grow
wisely
so
that
we
are
preserving
that
character
and
the
people
and
the
places
in
boise
that
we
love.
As
we
continue
to
evaluate
this,
I
do
have
another
hand
from
jan
wald
again
jan.
Would
you
like
to
speak.
E
B
Then
we
can
offer
them
some
additional
building
height,
as
well
as
a
reduction
in
parking
and
then
the
potential
to
streamline
the
process.
So,
rather
than
having
them
go
through
multiple
public
hearings,
we
can
review
it
through
the
design
review
procedure
at
the
administrative
level.
It
also
takes
into
account
adaptive
reuse.
B
In
that
particular
case,
if
you're
willing
to
provide
us
some
housing
units,
then
we
are
willing
to
examine
your
parking
requirements.
So
you
wouldn't
have
to
provide
additional
parking
if
you
are
willing
to
provide
those
units
and
then
there's
a
third
component
to
that
bonus,
housing
product
as
well,
and
that
specifically
talks
to
affordable
housing.
B
D
G
B
That
would
specifically
be
setbacks
so,
depending
upon
the
zone
that
you're
located
in
you
are
required
to
build
a
certain
amount
of
feet
from
the
property
line
and
that
amount
changes
with
each
one
of
those
zones.
So
we
do
see
a
lot
of
variances
in
regards
to
setbacks
and
if,
by
preserving
those
setbacks,
we're
hoping
that
we
can
integrate
into
some
of
those
mature
neighborhoods
in
a
reasonable
manner,
so
that
we
aren't
adversely
impacting
some
of
those
mature
neighbors
that
have
been
there
for
quite
some.
B
I
I
I
live
in
new
construction,
townhouse
right
off
of
warm
springs
avenue
on
the
east
end
of
boise,
yet
this
development
I
rely
on
gas
from
yeah.
I
mean
we're
using
natural
gas
and
hydro
power
and
not
geothermal
in
our
building,
and
maybe
now
is
not
like
the
appropriate
time
for
you
to.
Like
answer
my
question
necessarily,
but
I
guess
I
just
don't
understand
why
we
aren't
able
to
use
geothermal
more
often,
especially
in
new
construction.
I
understand
it's
much
more
difficult,
retrofitting
it
and.
B
So
we
are
working
very
hard
and
trying
to
make
that
work,
but
really
acknowledging
that
there
is
an
immediate
need
that
needs
to
be
addressed,
and
so
we're
taking
that
initial
approach
to
see.
If
we
can't
get
something
into
effect
before
this
two
and
a
half
year
process
ends
and
we
have
a
changed
zoning
code.
B
B
I
did
have
one
question
that
came
through
that
said,
and
maybe
dawn
can
address
this.
It's
a
question
asking:
how
can
you
taking
take
into
account
the
city's
individualized
characteristics
and
not
create
a
code
that
is
applicable
to
every
city,
because
this
individual
has
traveled
throughout
the
world
and
specifically
in
the
united
states,
has
noted
that
every
city
seems
to
look
alike.
C
A
The
short
answer
is
the
standards
that
are
put
into
codes
are
developed
at
the
local
level.
The
overall
approach
here,
lots
of
citizen
outreach,
an
advisory
committee,
lots
of
meetings
with
neighborhoods,
virtual
and
otherwise
are
to
sort
out
what
parts
of
blueprint
boise
and
the
subsequent
work
that's
been
done
about.
The
future
of
boise
should
be
is
wise
to
be
codified
and
what
parts
are
not.
A
Whether
a
multi-family
has
to
multi-family
development
has
to
make
itself
different
and
interesting
when
compared
to
other
multi-family
developments.
All
of
those
standards
are
developed
at
the
local
level.
It's
interesting.
I
I
sometimes
wonder
whether
people
think
we
just
take
an
old
code
and
and
do
a
wordsmith
and
say
why
don't
we
just
take
out
whatever
and
put
in
boise
we've
never
done
that
because
it
didn't
work.
A
So
what
we
often
do
is
create
a
structure
and
we
go
through
this
process
and
say:
okay,
so
here
are
here's
a
structure
that
we
find
user
friendly,
but
it
doesn't
have
numbers
in
it
until
the
until
we
go
through
and
say
so.
Is
it
a
feeling
that
you're
allowing
buildings
too
big
or
too
bland
or
too
tall
or
too
short
or
lots
that
are
too
restrictive
or
too
liberal?
A
So
the
content
that's
put
into
the
ordinance
comes
from
local
folks
and,
to
be
honest,
it's
it's
rarely
driven
by
developers,
usually
that
usually
the
citizens
are
quite
involved
in
that.
So
I
think
that
the
part
of
the
question
I
can
answer
is
we
don't
make
up
these
numbers
based
on
what
walgreens
wants
to
do
or
what
a
multi-family
developer
wants
to
do
or
what
big
investor
wants
to
do?
A
We
try
to
work
from
the
plans
that
have
been
done
and
say
so
so
here's
some
standards
that
would
help
you
get
there.
Do
you
like
these?
Do
you
like
some
others?
Do
you
want
to
make
it
larger,
shorter,
bigger,
taller,
more
detailed,
less
detailed
and
the
outcome
of
that
process
is,
is
what
the
local
community
says
that
they
want
in
order
to
make
it
unique
to
themselves
the
part
that
I
think
you're
getting
at
is
we
can't
control
the
private,
the
strength
of
the
private
market?
A
A
We
can't
control
the
fact
that,
if
that,
if
walgreens
comes
in
I'm
just
making
up
this
example-
and
you
say
they
can't
do
x,
y
and
z-
and
they
want
to
do
x,
y
and
z
because
that's
their
template-
that
they
go
to
the
city
and
say
let
us
do
it
and
there's
a
variance
process
or
there's
an
exception
process,
and
so
that
is
not
in
control
of
the
city.
What's
in
control
of
the
city
is
to
say
no
we're
not
going
to
make
that
adjustment.
I'm
sorry
that
we
met
what
we
said.
A
We
wrote
it,
but
there's
a
lot
of
pressure,
that's
applied
and
that
is
often
applied
through
design,
review
or
rezoning
or
to
to
change
or
genericize
or
allow
a
private
builder
to
genericize.
What
was
intended
to
not
allow
that
to
happen.
So
I
I
hope,
that's
a
partial
answer.
I
agree
with
you
a
lot
of
american
cities
look
alike.
I
think
that
is
because
there's
a
great
power
under
the
current
financing
scheme
and
mortgage
scheme
and
lending
scheme
behind
known
profitable
formulas,
cities
have
the
ability
and
most
cities
try
to
make
some
good
judgments.
A
We
we
understand
you
can't
if
you,
if
you
make
it
impossible
for
walgreens
to
do
business,
you'll,
never
get
a
walgreens
or
if
you
bend
it
enough,
you
can
twist
them
into
doing
something
different
than
other
walgreens
and
have
it
be
good,
but
you
got
to
find
that
balance,
because
in
the
end,
if
you
just
make
it
so
that
they
they
can't
do
what
they
need
to
do,
they
won't
build.
That's
fine,
but
most
places
want
to
want
to
find
that
balance.
To
what
degree
can
we
preserve
a
unique
character?
A
Part
of
it
is
drafting
it
carefully.
That's
what
we
intend
to
do
part
of
it
is
the
political
process
of
resisting
the
pressure
or
designing
your
code,
so
that
so
they
can't
give
in
to
that
pressure.
That's
very
hard
to
do
over
time.
I
don't
want
to
draw
this
out
any
further,
but
we
have
drafted
codes
that
say
the
board
or
the
planning
board
or
the
board
of
adjustment
cannot
vary
x.
A
For
example,
I'm
only
making
this
up.
We
have
big
box
standards
and
we
mean
it.
You
are
not
allowed
to
approve
a
variance
or
an
adjustment
to
the
big
box,
articulation
standards,
and
then
you
can't
and
when
the
big
buck
comes
in
and
says
I
don't
like
your
standards,
you
say
well
you're
going
to
have
to
go
to
council
and
get
that
change,
because
council
has
not
devoted
in
this.
O
O
O
We,
the
firm
that
I
came
with
actually
had
an
office
in
in
colorado
and
some
of
the
ideas
that
they
helped
us
with
in
boise
were
beneficial,
and
I
think
that
you
know
having
an
outside
look
will
be
quite
a
bit
different
than
what
boise
has
had
being.
You
know
if
anything,
boise's
more
cookie
cutter
than
outside
agencies
or
outside
cities
looking
into
our
city.
O
So
I
think
what
boise
city
has
done
with
hiring
these
guys
is
probably
a
good
thing
and
to
add
on
to
this,
I
I
just
I
I
want
to
reiterate
my
response
earlier
about
commercial
uses
and
retail,
or
for
that
matters
some
industrial
uses
off
of
emerald.
I
think
we
really
need
to
re-look
at
what
we're
doing
with
those
and
start
considering
you
know
more
housing
and
multi-family
and
affordable
housing
in
those
areas
so
that
we
can
get
something
that
works
for
all,
and
you
know
I
look
forward
to
working
with
everyone
in
this
process.
B
B
B
B
Our
future
events,
as
well
as
calling
us
and
letting
us
know
how
we
can
help
you,
where
we
can
meet
you,
whether
you'd
like
to
schedule
an
appointment
to
meet
with
one
of
us
at
the
library
or
even
a
place,
that's
close
through
to
your
home.
We're
willing
to
do
that.
Our
citizens
are
important
to
us,
so
we'd
love
to
meet.
You
we'd
love
to
hear
your
comments,
and
this
is
only
the
beginning.
So
please
stay
with
us
throughout
the
entire
journey.
