Finally,
we'll
have
an
open
discussion
that
will
be
available
for
everyone
to
participate
verbally.
We
would
ask
that
everybody
remain
muted
until
they
are
called
upon.
If
they
would
like
to
speak,
please
raise
your
hand
and
you
will
be
recognized,
and
then
you
will
have
the
center
stage
with
that.
We
would
like
to
share
the
stage
with
don
elliott
of
clarion
associates.
C
Thank
you,
andrea.
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
now.
As
andrea
said,
I'm
a
director
with
clarion
associates,
I'm
participating
from
denver.
We
have
a
offices
in
denver
and
chapel
hill,
but
we
have
a
short
presentation
which
I'll
go
through
pretty
quickly
because
what's
more
important
is
to
do
the
interactive
events
and
hear
your
discussions
and
where
you
would
like
boise
to
go
with
this
very
important
project.
So
once
again,
the
most
challenging
part
of
my
day
is
probably
sharing
the
screen
properly.
Now
so
can
you
do?
I
have
the
right
screen
staff.
C
Somebody
give
me
a
thumbs
up
or
say
yes,
yes,
deanna
says
it's
right,
so
I
have
now
my
day
is
a
success.
So
far,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
this.
C
This
is
zoning
code
rewrite
and
I
want
to
do
well
well,
we'll
get
into
it
more,
but
I
want
to
distinguish
at
the
very
start
between
a
planning
job
and
a
zoning.
Job
planning
is
the
vision
for
the
city.
You
have
a
good
one.
Our
firm
was
also
involved
in
that,
but
this
is
about
the
zoning
ordinance.
This
is
about
the
laws
that
govern.
C
Who
can
develop
where
and
what
parts
of
the
advice
that
is
given
and
the
vision
that
is
shown
in
blueprint
boise
can
be
and
should
be
put
into
the
regulations
and
incentives
of
the
city.
So
once
again,
clarion
associates
is
a
national
land
use
firm.
This
map
shows
you,
we've
worked
all
over
the
country
and
in
canada
and
overseas,
but
we
have
worked
with
over
200
communities
to
update
or
replace
their
zoning
and
development
regulations.
C
This
is
what
we
do.
We
don't
represent
developers.
We
work
closely
with
builders
because
nothing
gets
built
without
the
builders
and
if
they
can't
make
it
work,
nothing
happens,
but
we
don't
represent
them.
Our
clients
are
cities
and
counties,
and
almost
all
of
the
codes
that
we
have
done
over
the
years
get
adopted.
This
is
the
team.
This
is
me
up
at
the
top,
as
the
project
manager,
darcy
white
was
very
involved
in
helping
draft
blueprint
boise
when
that
was
completed
several
years
ago.
She
was
the
project
manager
on
behalf
of
our
firm
diane.
C
C
So
let's
look
at
the
focus
foremost.
Above
all.
The
reason
that
the
city
government
of
boise
has
said
this
is
worth
doing
is
that
you
have
blueprint
boise,
and
we
have
heard
many
times
since
we
initially
made
a
visit
out
there
almost
a
year
ago.
Is
that
there's
a
large
contingent
of
boise
who
wants
it
implemented?
They
put
a
lot
of
time
into
it.
They
believe
it
we
continue
to
hear
endorsements.
C
C
The
new
mayor
mayor,
mclean's
focus,
has
been
a
city
for
everyone,
and
you
could
see
the
topics
that
she's
focused
on
healthy
city
home
for
everyone,
clean
city
opportunity
to
engage
everyone
that
leads
into
the
next
one
to
try
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
voice
is
heard
in
this
process
clarion
because
of
our
extensive
experience
over
the
past
30
years
knows
a
lot
about
the
different
approaches
to
zoning.
This
may
sound
like
jargon,
but
it's
somewhat
important.
You
can
have
a
traditional
use-based
zoning
ordinance,
a
form-based
zoning,
a
performance-based
zoning
ordinance.
C
You
don't
really
have
to
understand
what
those
terms
mean
right
now
other
than
that
clarion
tends
to
blend
them
together
and
we
believe
all
big
cities.
Almost
all.
Not
all
all
big
cities
choose
the
best
tool
among
these
various
zoning
approaches,
the
one
that
will
implement
the
plan
most
effectively,
most
transparently
and
most
efficiently.
We
have
experience
in
all
of
those
in
trying
to
create
incentives
for
great
design
and
diversiveness
of
land
uses
streamlining
development
review
procedures.
C
I
have
yet
to
have
a
client
in
28
years,
who
said
please
make
our
review
and
approval
procedures
more
complicated.
The
point
is,
you've
got
a
good
plan.
If
we
can
embed
that
in
the
zoning
and
subdivision
development
rules,
then
you
can
have
a
streamlined,
efficient
process
that
does
not
result
in
last-minute
surprises
to
either
the
citizens
or
the
builders.
It
can
be
done.
It
is
done
each
year
by
cities
that
run
a
good
process
and
then
finally,
making
the
zoning
ordinance
much
more
understandable
to
the
average
citizen.
C
Flowcharts
graphics
tables
pictures
things
that
visual
learners
can
understand
to
say:
oh
I
get
it
so
we
are
building
on
past
work.
I've
already
mentioned
blueprint
boise,
but
we
have
reviewed
and
we
are
aware
you've
done.
Community
conversations,
keep
boise
moving,
grower,
housing
and
lately
you
know
a
city
for
everyone,
efforts,
boise
citizens
care
deeply
about
their
city,
and
that
has
resulted
in
a
wide
range
of
topics
being
the
subject
of
outreach
and
engagement
and
guidance
ever
since
blueprint
boise
was
done.
All
of
those
are
things
we're
going
to
build
on.
C
The
project
is
organized
into
five
phases.
One
is
organizing
the
work
once
again.
We
did
a
preliminary
thinking
about
this,
and
then
you
elected
a
new
mayor
and
then
covet
19
came
in,
and
so
we've
been
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
have
organized
the
work
properly
to
get
it
done
efficiently,
while
living
through
the
cove
era.
C
Next
thing
you
do
is:
do
an
outreach
and
assessment
trying
to
make
sure
what
do?
What
do
the
citizens
say
that
they
would
like
to
do
better?
That's
part
of
today's
meeting,
what
does
staff
notice
just
doesn't
work,
and
what
does
clarion
notice
is
a
little
strange
given
how
other
cities
would
address
this?
You
do
not
need
to
do
this.
Like
other
cities.
Do
boise
is
unique,
as
are
most
medium
and
large-sized
cities
all
cities
in
america,
but
it
pays
to
listen
to
think
about.
C
Oh
wow
that
looks
like
it
would
achieve
the
goal
better
than
the
way
we've
always
done
it,
and
so
that's
part
of
the
preliminary
outreach
and
assessment
we
draft
the
zoning,
ordinance
and
installments
I'll
come
back
to
that
later
and
we
do
it
in
draft
and
we
put
out
each
one
for
your
comment.
An
extensive
round
of
public
engagement,
outreach
listening
again
and
again
in
parts,
then
in
phase
four,
you
put
it
together
into
a
consolidated
draft.
You
answer
as
many
questions
as
possible.
C
You
make
as
many
commenters
stakeholders
interest
groups,
citizens
neighborhood
groups,
happy
as
you
can,
but
you
can't
make
everybody
happy
to
be
honest,
some
people
say:
go
left
some
people
go
right.
We
work
that
through
and
in
the
consolidated
draft
you
learn.
Okay,
they
decided
to
go
mildly,
to
the
left
mildly
to
the
right.
They
balanced
the
tensions
between
our
various
goals
and
finally,
take
it
through
city
council,
a
planning
commission
city
council
for
adoption,
so
organizing
that
first
phase
is
kickoff
meetings.
C
We
did
one
round
last
year
late
last
year,
we're
doing
many
more
rounds
and
we
have
been
doing
more
many
more
rounds
and
we'll
do
them
in
the
in
the
weeks
to
come.
Stakeholder
interviews,
interviews
with
planning,
commission
design
review
board
all
the
appointed
and
elected
officials
to
get
their
take
on
it
and
then
making
sure
we
have
got
the
right
work
plan,
we've
refined
it
already.
We
are
going
to
refine
it.
C
We
are
aware,
as
planners
a
lot
of
people,
even
though
they
are
invited,
have
a
very
hard
time
participating
and
we're
committed
to
trying
to
do
the
best
job
that
can
be
done
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
just
the
usual
suspects
whose
voices
get
heard
that
everybody's
voices
get
heard
and
respected.
So
that
includes
a
project
website.
It
includes
an
email
list
that
grows
throughout
the
project.
C
If
you
want
to
be
on
the
list,
you
will
be
on
the
list,
those
that
you
know
everybody
gets
notices
that
wants
to
get
notices,
interactive
virtual
public
meetings.
This
is
the
first
one
virtual
stakeholder
interviews
and
then
that
we
do
have
a
citywide
advisory
committee
meeting.
C
It's
a
cross-representative
group
of
people
who,
as
the
tensions
between
the
different
cities,
different
planning
goals,
get
worked
out,
are
hearing
what
each
other
says
and
we
don't
just
get
kind
of
an
echo
chamber
of
people
with
one
interest
talking
to
themselves
and
pushing
hard
for
that.
One
interest
very
useful
tool:
here's
the
drafting
of
installments.
We
do
this
because
it
gives
instead
of
one
round
instead
of
us,
dropping
a
new
zoning
ordinance
in
your
lap
and
saying
hope
you
like
it.
C
Let's,
let's
discuss
it,
we
first
say
what
zone
districts
and
what
building
forms
and
uses
is
the
right
framework
to
implement
blueprint.
Boise.
Do
you
need
new
mixed
use?
Districts?
Do
you
need
new
districts
and
uses
and
building
forms
that
that
promote
transit
use?
Do
you
need
different
allowances
for
affordable
housing?
Let's
get
the
bones
the
backbone.
The
framework
right
first
take
that
out
for
public
comment.
Then
come
back
and
say:
okay,
if
in
such
and
such
a
district,
you
can
do
a
hotel
or
you
can
do
multifamily.
C
Let's
talk
about
parking
landscaping,
lighting
access
connectivity.
Where
does
the
traffic
go
signs,
the
the?
How
good
does
it
have
to
be,
and
how
do
I
lay
it
out
to
get
an
approval
that
reflects
blueprint,
boise
and
protects
neighborhoods
in
boise?
That's
the!
How
good
does
it
have
to
be?
How
does
it
get
laid
out?
We
take
that
out
for
comment.
Finally,
we
say
if
that's
the
districts,
those
are
the
heights
and
intensity
of
buildings.
C
That's
how
much
parking
that's,
how
much
landscaping
and
buffering
that's
how
we're
handling
lighting
in
light
of
those
rules
and
incentives,
how
transparent
and
efficient
could
we
make
the
procedures
to
review
and
approve
developments?
We
do
it
last
because
it's
hard
to
talk
about
well,
it
should
be
faster,
should
be
more
transparent.
How
do
we
make
sure
the
public
is
engaged
at
all
the
right
points
until
you
know?
C
What's
set
in
the
rules
that
are
going
to
be
enforced
along
the
way
a
side
benefit
is
it
allows
us
to
focus
three
times
on
three
different
sets
of
related
issues,
explain
them
and
then
and
and
make
sure
that
people
understand
and
have
have
multiple
rounds
of
comments
before
they
finally
see
the
consolidated
draft
in
one
place,
here's
the
calendar
that
has
been
evolved.
We
are
doing,
as
I
said,
phase
one
organization.
C
The
assessment
is
being
done
right
now
in
it
builds
on,
as
I
said,
a
preliminary
work
that
was
done
last
fall
and
in
the
spring,
but
very
much
a
work
in
progress,
because
the
mayor
has
been
very
clear.
Staff
has
been
very
clear.
We
need
to
make
sure
this
is
truly
representative
of
what
people
want
to
have
happen
before
we
start
drafting
anything,
so
we
may
start
drafting
in
q4,
but
basically
you
can
see
the
three
installments
then
near.
C
C
Then
we
put
out
another
draft
to
make
sure
that
we
fix
things
that
okay.
We
never
wanted
this
to
happen
in
boise
again.
Will
the
draft
prevent
that
from
happening
again?
We
really
have
wanted
this,
but
we
never
get
it.
Will
this
zoning
ordinance
encourage
that
in
a
meaningful
way?
So
it's
likely
we
will
get
it
in
the
future
and
then
we
do.
How
do
you
move
to
the
new
system
and
do
training
and
then
it
go
through
the
adoption
process?
I
do
want
to
emphasize
I'm
going
to
go
back.
C
All
that's
happening
in
this
quarter
and
next
year
is
to
get
to
a
draft
that
is
ready
for
prime
time
planning
com.
Commission
is
not
going
to
be
asked
to
review
it
and
council's
not
going
to
be
asked
to
approve
it
in
pieces.
It
will
be
built
in
pieces
reviewed
in
pieces.
Then
knitted
together,
reviewed
all
together
by
the
end
of
2021.
C
C
So
this
road
map
this
assessment?
This
is
what
we
think
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
structure
in
terms
of
user
friendliness
in
terms
of
promoting
affordable
housing
or
transit
or
other
important
goals
or
inclusiveness.
This
is
where
we're
going.
That's
the
next
steps
before
clarion
starts,
writing
anything,
and
with
that
I
think
I
am
done
unless
andrea
or
diana
or
diane
think
I
have
forgotten
to
say
something
that
I
needed
to
say.
B
I
was
actually
speaking
to
an
individual
yesterday
and
our
conversations
were
very
interesting.
They
said,
hey,
andrea,
the
things
that
I'm
concerned
about
is
that
I
have
a
home
in
which
I
can
live
in
until
I
die
and
that's
all
I
care
about,
and
I
said
I
don't
really
think
that
that
is
truly
the
only
thing
that
you
care
about.
B
As
we
move
forward
with
our
interactive
questions,
we
will
be
participating
with
slido.
So
if
you
would
like
to
participate,
we
invite
you
to
join
us
at
slido.com
that
is
s-l-I-d-o
dot
com.
Once
you
get
to
that
screen,
it'll
ask
for
an
activity
number
that
activity
number
is
79755
or
you
can
scan
the
qr
code.
That's
located
on
your
screen
and
as
responses
are
recorded
and
sent
in,
you
will
actually
be
able
to
visually
see
them
on
your
screen.
B
D
Thank
you,
andrea,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
who
are
participating
on
this
saturday
morning.
We
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
provide
us
with
your
input,
I'm
giving
you
a
couple
of
minutes
to
get
on
to
that
slido
app.
So
you
can
so
you
can
participate
fully,
and
this
is,
as
andrea
said,
this
is
an
interactive
opportunity.
We
have
three
questions
which
we
are
going
to
be
asking
you
and
the
first
one
will
be
presented
in
a
word
cloud,
and
those
of
you
might
be
familiar
with.
D
That
is
that
the
the
number
of
similar
comments
that
come
up
the
words
be
will
get
larger,
so
you
can
see
where
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
in
the
in
by
the
way
it's
displayed,
we'll
have
maybe
up
to
five
minutes
I'll
see
how
we're
doing
on
each
of
these
and,
if
you're
ready
now
to
write,
I
will
read
the
questions
and
then
read
the
background
and
then
give
you
the
questions
and
then
I'll
say
just
go
for
it.
D
D
D
If
you're
having
any
problems,
use
the
chat
box
to
to
provide
questions
and
we'll
we'll
get
back
to.

D
D
D
D
Several
economic
focus
higher
paying
jobs
economics.
I
think
I
saw
a
comment
about
being
the
a
high
priority.
D
D
Okay,
great
job,
everyone-
these
are
great
ideas
and
they're,
also
some
priorities
that
seem
to
come
to
the
top
andrea.
Do
you
have
any
reflections
on
this
this
first,
one.
B
And
so
we
want
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
how
we
can
focus
on
the
people
of
boise
to
ensure
that
they
do
have
quality,
affordable
housing,
that
they
remain
safe
over
time
and
all
of
those
items
that
are
truly
key
to
making
making
a
city
operate
and
function.
Well
as
we
move
into
the
future,
and
so
when
we
do
that,
we're
going
to
look
at
balancing
new
demands
and
we'll
turn
it
over
to
diane
krishlan.
Once
again,.
D
Great
okay,
that
was
such
a
super
job
on
that
first,
one.
Let's,
let's
go
on
to
the
second
activity
and
this
question
will
be
responsible.
Your
responses
will
show
up
as
text
bubbles
that
will
kind
of
scroll
through
so
I'll
try
to
keep
up
with
what
I
see
and
because
I
know
it-
sometimes
it's
hard
to
type
and
and
think
and
and
watch
the
screen
all
at
the
same
time.
D
So,
on
this
question,
blueprint
boise
calls
for
the
city
to
strive
for
both
a
predictable
development
pattern
and
a
strong,
diverse
economy,
and,
as
we
know,
our
population
and
economy
are
growing
and
it's
diversifying
and
it's
creating
a
need
for
housing,
and
that
also
has
to
grow
and
that
housing
needs
to
be
built
somewhere.
So
this
is
a
two-part
question
for
all
of
you.
D
D
D
Thinking
about
everyone
and
not
leaving
natives
out
of
the
picture,
allow
forkplexes
everywhere
in
the
city,
missing
middle
housing,
near
neighborhoods,
higher
density,
infill
thinking
about
all
generations
and
college
students
and
young
people.
D
D
Making
sure
we
have
growth
in
the
right
places
where
we
have
sidewalks
and
roads.
Certainly
a
complementary
comment
of
stopping
sprawl,
transforming
office
spaces
into
housing,
rethinking
business.
How
can
small
businesses
survive
grow
where
we
can
looking
at
less
parking
requirements
along
transit
and
bike
routes.
D
So
thinking
more
about
why
this
growth
is
occurring,
another
similar
thought
to
others
that
have
been
provided
about
developing
where
there
are
services,
a
comment
about
ccdc.
D
D
D
B
Oh
again,
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
really
good
comments
that
are
going
to
help
us
guide
us.
But
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
we
do
have
some
differing
views,
that
are
there
everything
from
stopping
growth
and
then
everything
from
growing
in
the
right
way
or
growing
in
the
right
location.
And
so
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
move
forward
that
there
are
going
to
be
differing
views
and
differing
opinions.
As
we
move
forward
and
there's
always
a
balance.
And
so
we
need
to
understand
what
that.
B
How
we
can
achieve
that
that
you
know
that
we
are
experiencing
growth
and
it
is
because
we
have
great
open
spaces,
and
we
have
really
neat
people
and
a
rich
history
and
heritage.
And
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
preserve
all
of
those
things
that
we
hold
near
and
dear.
But
we
know
that
those
people
are
not
going
to
stop
coming
to
our
area
and
we
want
them
to
be
located
near
goods
and
services
and
we
want
them
to
have
high
quality
jobs.
B
And
so
we
have
to
figure
out
how
we
can
accommodate
those
individuals.
In
our
city,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
a
delicate
balance
and
we
hope
that
you'll
stay
with
us
throughout
the
entire
duration
of
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
to
help
us
achieve
that
balance
and
to
really
look
at
both
views
clearly
and
so
that
they
can
be
considered.
D
And-
and
I
would
just
remind
all
of
you
that
we
do
have
this
comment
period,
both
written
and
verbally
at
the
end
of
this
next
question.
So
those
of
you
who
feel
a
little
bit
frustrated
by
only
being
able
to
provide
short
answers
at
this
point,
you'll
have
that
opportunity
in
a
few
minutes.
D
So
activity
three
is
the
topic
of
creating
a
city
for
everyone
and
again
this
will
be
presented
to
you
in
a
a
text
bubble
and
so
it'll
be
scrolling
through
and
and
if
we
could
move
to
the
the
question
slide.
D
D
D
So
comments
about
no
gated
communities,
people
who
are
not
who
need
to
be
included.
Refugee
communities
include
new
residents
early,
there's
a
comment
that
future
residents
are
being
favored
over
existing
residents
in
the
in
the
growth
of
our
community
type,
having
housing
for
all
types
of
people.
D
D
The
people
that
are
being
excluded
are
the
ones
without
economic
means.
Zoning
needs
to
provide
more
density,
people
have
different
cultural
backgrounds,
we
need
more
transit,
low-income
families
are
excluded,
taking
care
of
the
young
and
the
old
and
those
with
limited
incomes,
tax
policies,
growth,
penalizing
long-term
residence.
D
We
need
to
include
people
who've
grown
up
in
boise
who
work
for
minimum
wage,
and
it
is
becoming
more
difficult
to
sustain
them
economically,
better
representation
of
black
and
indigenous
people
of
color
immigrants,
affordable
housing,
access
to
transportation
and
open
space.
Equally,
we
could
easily
move
outward
rather
than
inward.
D
So
comments
about
preserving
our
history,
making
sure
that
we
don't
create
a
have
and
have
not
environment.
D
Making
sure
we're
not
having
race
disparity
requiring
developers
to
build
a
certain
portion
of
their
buildings
as
affordable
housing
and
protecting
our
parks.
D
So
I
think
we've
got
a
couple
more
here
on
stop
the
buzzwords
and
create
action
solutions,
stop
focusing
on
differences
and
question
about
what
does
a
city,
for
everyone
mean.
Maybe
the
staff
could
provide
an
answer
to
that
during
our
q
and
a
section
and
encouraging
ali
access
throughout
the
city
to
make
the
streetscape
pleasant,
all
very
good
ideas,
some
good
specific
ideas
and
some
big
broad
concept,
ideas
and
we'll
have
a
lot
of
fun
sorting
through
all
of
these
and
incorporating
these
into
the
zoning
code,
rewrite
so
andrea.
D
Any
reflections
from
your
perspective
and
thank
you
everyone
again.
This
is
really
rich,
rich
material
for
us
to
chew.
On.
B
You
know
we
saw
everything
from
you
know
being
fair
to
everyone,
people
of
color,
low-income
individuals-
we
saw
you
know
really
taking
care
of
both
our
young
and
our
old,
ensuring
that
that
they
have
opportunities,
and
I
think
that,
as
we
talk
about
that,
going
back
to
the
question
of
you
know
what
does
a
city
mean
or
a
city?
For
everyone
truly
mean
it.
I
mean.
B
Ultimately,
it
means
that
we
value
all
of
our
individuals
and
we
want
them
to
be
safe,
and
so
we
go
back
to
our
comprehensive
plan
and
look
at
that.
We
want
to
have
predictable
development
patterns.
We
want
to
also
be
effectively
looking
at
our
sustainability,
and
then
we
move
with
our
priorities
that
have
been
created
by
mayor
maclean
and
those
really
focus
on
providing
housing
for
everyone.
B
But
not
only
that
is,
you
know
we
heard
taking
care
of
both
of
our
young
and
our
old,
sometimes
accessory
dwelling
units
can
be
the
answer
to
that
is
as
our
parents
age,
and
we
need
them
close
if
we
can
provide
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
to
where
they
still
have
independence,
but
they
can
live
close
to
us
or
even
vice
versa.
When
we
have
a
college
student,
that's
ready
to
leave
the
nest,
but
they
aren't
fully
equipped
to
to
move
out
of
state
that
they
still
need
to
be
close
by
as
we
nurture
them.
B
B
That
would
include
our
elderly
populations,
as
well
as
our
lower
income
populations
and
so
really
being
thoughtful
of
of
how
that
is.
So.
When
we
talk
about
a
city
for
everyone,
I
would
bring
forth
those
priorities
that
the
mayor
has
brought
to
us.
So
housing
for
everyone,
movement
for
everyone,
a
clean
and
healthy
city
for
everyone,
giving
everybody
a
voice
and
an
opportunity
to
engage
and
really
looking
at
fairness.
As
we
move
forward.
B
And
with
that,
we
are
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
this
up
for
verbal
comments,
so
everybody
is
offered
an
opportunity.
B
B
F
F
F
I
would
just
like
to
know
what
is
the
legality
of
blueprint,
boise
and
any
revisions
that
are
made
to
it
and
any
changes
that
are
premised
on
it,
especially
in
a
state
like
idaho,
which
is
so
different
than
other
states.
It
gives
very
few
powers
to
its
cities
and,
as
I
understand
it,
the
state
land
use
planning
act
is
really
determinative
of
a
lot
of
way.
We
do
things
in
idaho,
so
just
are
we
headed
down
a
route
that
doesn't
have
a
real,
stable
legal
standing
in
this
state.
C
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that
and
then
I
will
ask
if
andrea
or
deanna
want
to
qualify
this.
We
don't
have
the
city
attorney
of
boise
on
the
line
and
I
am
an
attorney
I'm
licensed
in
colorado,
and
I
do
this
around
the
country,
but
I'm
not
licensed
in
idaho.
So
I
that's
a
little
asterisk
at
the
end
throughout
the
country,
at
comprehensive
plans
with
a
few
exceptions
are
advisory,
meaning
they
are
guidance
for
the
future.
But
I
want
to
be
very
clear.
C
This
project
is
not
to
revise
blueprint
boise
it
that
advice
is
out
there
and
in
order
to
make,
if
there
is
a
discretionary
decision
about
zoning
to
be
made,
it
is
advice
that
both
the
planning
commission
is
supposed
to
advise,
based
on
and
frankly,
city
councils
are
supposed
to
take
into
account
when
they
decide
yay
or
nay,
but
around
the
country.
Again,
it's
advisory.
If
you
want
it
to
be
legal,
a
legally
binding
document,
meaning
if
you
want
to
have
something
that
when
the
city
council
says.
Yes,
you
think
that's
against
the
law.
C
Oh
I'm
going
to
challenge
that
that
has
to
be
in
zoning
and
that's
what
this
project
is
about.
This
project
is
saying
you
have
good
guidance
and
it
is
guidance
and
the
step
you
need
to
make
in
order
to
make
it
so
that
people
need
to
do
what
the
plan
says
is
to
put
that
plan
content
into
your
zoning
ordinance
and
that's
what
this
project
is
about.
Now,
I'm
going
to
give
you
one
more
chapter,
so
this
project
is
not
aimed
at
just
refining
the
guidance.
This.
C
This
project
is
aimed
at
taking
that
guidance
and
figuring
out
how
to
put
it
into
rules
and
incentives
so
that
the
developers
get
the
same
message
and
they
start
following
that
guidance
because
they're
now
required
to
rather
than
asked
to,
and
so,
but
that's
a
difficult
topic,
and
let
me
just
I'll
say
one
more
one
more
minute:
what
happens
in
this
process
is
that
we
tend
to
find
that
there
are
three
when
you
get
blueprint,
boise
in
your
hand-
and
you
say
just
make
it
law-
it
can't
happen
because
there
are
different
things.
C
Don't
put
it
in
the
zoning
make
the
zoning
do
that
and
no
place
in
the
country
makes
it
happen,
because
there
are
things
in
blueprint,
boise
that
are
aspirational
or
that
require
the
city
to
spend
money.
The
zoning
ordinance
can't
make
city
council
spend
money
if
they
don't
want
to
spend
money
because
they
don't
have
money
because
there's
something
more
important
they
want
to
do.
They
don't
spend
the
money.
Zoning
can't
make
city
council
spend
money
and
a
lot
of
that's
in
blueprint
policy.
So
there's
a
bucket
called
zoning
can't
do
this.
C
It's
not
the
tool,
there's
a
second
bucket
called.
We
all
agree
that
that
guidance
needs
to
be
turned
into
law
or
incentives,
and
we
have
worked
on
it
and
it's
going
to
happen.
We
now
have
I'm
making
this
example
up.
We
have
a
stronger
approach
to
supporting
transit.
We
have
a
stronger
approach
to
supporting
neighborhoods.
We
have
a
stronger
set
of
rules
that
will
result
in
affordable
housing
being
built.
Then
that
and
that's
that's
the
win-win.
We
said
we'd
do
it
and
we've
agreed
on
how
to
do
it.
C
Let's
go
tell
city
council,
that's
what
we
want
to
do
and
we've
brought
them
along,
so
we
think
they'll
vote
for
it.
There's
a
third
bucket
out
there
and
it
says
blueprint
boise
says,
do
x
and
mr
elliot
and
his
firm
and
the
city
staff
have
worked
with
us
for
two
years
to
get
us
to
try
to
agree
on
how
to
do
x
and
we
can't
agree.
C
Clarion
has
worked
with
staff
or
staff
has
recommended
it,
based
on
clarion's
advice
as
to
what
works
elsewhere
and
people
don't
like
it
and
city
council
decides,
we
meant
it,
but
we
don't.
We
haven't,
found
a
workable
political
solution
to
turn
that
into
law
and
incentives
and
they're
the
governing
body.
If
they
don't
think
there
is
a
workable
way
to
do
it
either
politically
or
economically,
then
it
doesn't
get
adopted
because
they
are
the
governing
body
and
even
though
they
meant
it
and
it's
aspirational.
C
It
was
advice
and
at
the
end
of
the
process,
we
can't
figure
out
how
to
turn
that
into
law
and
incentives
in
a
way
that
a
majority
of
city
council
will
vote
for.
So
there
are,
those
are
three
buckets.
Zoning
can't
do
that
and
we
won't
zoning
will
do
that
and
we
figured
out
how
to
do
it,
but,
I'm
being
very
honest
with
you,
there
is
often
things
that
we
meant.
We
meant
we,
we
still
mean
them.
We
can't
agree
on
a
way
to
do
them,
and
it's
not
really
that
clarion
can't
figure
it
out.
C
Our
staff
can't
figure
out.
If
the
problem
is
either
planning
board
doesn't
like
it
or
city
council
doesn't
like
it
and
you
can't
make
them
adopt
it.
So
that's
the
relationship
between
the
two,
but
I
would
encourage
you
to
stay
involved,
because
this
process
is
intended
to
make
much
more
of
blueprint,
boise
actually
legally
binding,
either
through
rules
or
incentives.
B
Deborah,
maybe
can
you
type
your
question
in
the
chat
where
we
could
address
that
because
it
looks
like
we're
not
being
able
to
hear
you
clearly.
B
And
maybe,
while
we're
waiting
for
debra
to
go
ahead
and
type
her
question
in
the
chat,
aaron
sorensen,
it
looks
like
you'd
like
to
speak.
G
Okay,
I'm
actually
thomas
smith,
aaron
sorensen
is
my
mom,
and
this
is
her
phone.
I'm
a
student
at
boise,
high
school
and
I
live
by
capital,
high
school
and
I
have
been
taking
the
busing
system
since
about
seventh
grade
and
my
biggest
problem
was
two
summers
ago.
G
I
was
going
to
summer
school
and
I
would
take
a
bus
from
my
house
about
five
blocks
to
the
mall
and
then
from
the
mall
all
the
way
out
to
west
junior
high
and
that
process
would
take
about
an
hour
and
a
half,
maybe
maybe
an
hour
closer
and
I'm
wondering
or
no
no
yeah.
It
would
take
about
that
amount
of
time,
but
it
would
take
about
maybe
30
minutes
to
ride
my
bike,
the
same
distance.
G
So
I'm
wondering
is
there
a
way
to
make
kind
of
that
busing
system
more
efficient
and
yeah?
That's
my
question:
that's
my
concern
is
that
it's
taking
longer
to
ride
a
bus
than
it
does
to
ride
my
bike.
The
same.
B
Well,
distance
you
for
that
comment.
That
is
something
that
we
have
heard
time
and
time
again
and
really,
when
we
look
at
the
holistic
picture,
you
know
to
get
those
additional
bus
routes
or
those
more
direct
or
more
frequent
stops.
We
have
to
have
the
density
to
support
that,
and
so
now
we
have
to
evaluate
how
can
we
get
density
that
is
appropriate
while
also
protecting
those
neighborhoods
that
are
existing?
B
They
wanted
individuals
to
respect
how
those
current
neighborhoods
are,
and
so
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
of
which
we
can
get
density,
that
can
support
more
bus
routes,
more
direct
lines,
more
frequent
stops
and
then
really
functioning
on
a
reliable
time
frame
as
well.
You
know
when
you
are
looking
at
getting
on
a
10,
20
bus.
B
You
want
your
bus
to
arrive
at
10
20,
not
at
10
35,
because
that
can
throw
off
your
day
that
can
put
your
job
or
your
learning
and
educational
opportunities
in
jeopardy,
and
so
you
know
we
have
to
work
at
that.
We
also
have
to
look
at
how
we
can
get
you
to
the
bus
stop
safely.
Do
you
have
a
bicycle
route?
If
you're
taking
your
bike,
do
you
have
sidewalks
that
will
help
you
get
to
the
sidewalk?
Do
you
have
a
safe
place
to
stand
on
our
transportation
system
as
you
wait
for
the
bus?
B
G
Yeah,
that
was
awesome
feedback.
I
do
notice
often
that
it's
really
packed
the
bus
is
really
packed
when
students
are
out
of
school
and
then
it's
virtually
empty
the
rest
of
the
day
and
yeah.
I
see
where
your
answer
is
coming
from.
Thank
you.
H
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
compliment
mr
elliott
and
his
firm
on
their
work
so
far
and
their
total
approach
to
this
rewrite,
which
I
agree
with
mayor
mclean.
This
is
really
necessary
and
then.
B
So
they
are
going
to
be
aware
of
all
of
the
information
that
we're
gathering
as
it's
gathered,
and
so
they
aren't
looking
at
it
two
and
a
half
years
down
the
line.
We
want
to
keep
them
a
part
of
our
process
and
make
sure
that
they
know
what
the
voices
of
boise
are
saying.
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at.
H
Thank
you
so
much.
We
have
been
boise
residents
for
20
years
and
we
love
boise
got
here
as
quick
as
we
could.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Andrea,
we
have
a
question
in
the
chat
and
I
think
it's
mostly
for
mr
elliott.
Could
you
please
provide
some
example:
cities
that
have
successfully
implemented
plans?
What
existing
nationwide
city
examples
are
we
using
for
the
future
of
boise,
and
I
think
there
is
a
follow-up.
Let
me
get.
This
will
help
us
get
a
better
visual
sense
of
what
we
are
hoping
to
see
for
the
future
of
boise,
and
I
think
you're
on
you.
C
Typical
yeah
soon
to
be
the
most
three
most
commonly
voiced
words
in
america,
you're
on
mute.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
that
question.
There
are
many
cities
that
have
done
it.
Let
me
clarify,
though
there
is
no
city
like
boise.
I
get
this
question.
Sometimes
what
city
is
like
us
that
we
should
get
on
their
website
and
look
at
it
say:
that's
where
we're
headed
and
oh,
I
don't
like
that
or
I
do
like
that
or
why
does
they
why?
Why
do
they
even
think.
F
C
Were
like
them
each
one
of
these
codes,
each
one
of
these
ordinances
is
built
from
the
plan
and
the
process,
and
so
we
we
really
don't.
I
actually
had
a
city
manager.
One
time
tell
me:
oh
your
business
model's
wrong.
You
should
be
able
to
do
one
and
roll
it
out
across
whatever
city,
and
I
said:
that's
not
how
it
works.
Unfortunately,
so
there
is
no
city
like
boise.
C
However,
in
the
last
decade
lots
and
lots
of
cities
have
said:
we've
got
a
plan,
we're
going
to
move
on,
to
revise
our
ordinance,
bloomington,
indiana
columbia,
missouri,
aurora,
colorado,
lake
havasu
city,
arizona,
we're
working
now
in
parker
colorado,
the
same
thing
denver
several
years
ago.
C
The
what
I
this
builds
on,
what
we
said
before
some
cities
make
their
ordinance
very
much
like
their
plan.
They're,
like
we
mean
it,
we
do
not
want
to
see
decisions
coming
down
that
are
different
than
this
plan.
Others
make
more
daylight
to
say,
well
we're
willing
to
nail
down
this
this
and
this
and
the
rest.
We
want
to
come
up
for
discussion
so,
but
those
are
some
city
I
mean
there.
There
are.
I
could
name
you
many
indianapolis
has
done
this
philadelphia,
did
it
well,
that's
not
true.
C
Philadelphia
rewrote
their
ordinance
and
we
led
it,
but
they
didn't
have
a
plan.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
they
used
the
zoning
ordinance
as
a
springboard
to
build
public
support
to
do
a
better
plan,
but
so
many
I
I
we
could.
We
could
give
you
a
long
list
if
you'd
like
as
a
matter
of
fact,
staff
has
a
list
of
a
lot
of
places.
We've
worked,
I
would
say
60
50
of
the
cities.
We
work
with.
C
C
B
B
So
I
don't
know
that
there
is
ever
a
one-size-fits-all,
so
we
will
be
looking
at
kind
of
taking
the
best
from
each
one
of
those
that
reflects
boise,
and
so
you
might
see
that
downtown
standards
are
a
little
bit
different
from
suburban
standards
or
neighborhood.
Standards
may
look
a
little
bit
different
from
our
commercial
corridors
where
we
have
transit
lines
or
where
we
have.
B
So,
as
you
move
forward
lynn,
please
make
sure
that
you
identify
the
characteristics
of
boise
that
you
want
to
preserve
and
then
how
we
can
achieve
maintaining
those
through
natural
growth
or
growing
in
correct
locations
or
making
sure
that
we
transition
to
existing
neighborhoods
to
really
protect
and
preserve
and
honor
those
individuals
that
are
already
there
before
we
move
on.
It
looks
like
I
have
a
question
from
kara
veet
and
I
hope
I
got
that
correctly
too.
So,
please
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong.
I
This
is
the
first,
it's
not
the
first
time
I've
had
my
name
mispronounced,
so
yeah.
I
had
a
question.
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around.
Why
we're
doing
this
rezoning
and
why
we're
doing
it
now?
I
Is
there
a
problem
with
the
zoning
that
we
have
now
or
is
it
being
done
to
you
know
kind
of
create,
more
density
and
in
terms
of
density,
I
feel
like
the
reason
people
move
here
is
because
they
want
to
get
away
from
the
areas
the
problems
that
they
had
in
other
cities.
That's
what
I
I
recently
ran
for
public
office,
and
that
was
what
I
heard
when
I
talked
to
new
residents.
They
were
like,
oh
my
gosh.
I
Do
we
move
to
boise
because
we
don't
want
we
got,
we
don't
want
it
to
turn
into
where
we
left,
which
is
so
cities
like
portland
and
california.
That
have
a
very
I
don't.
I
don't
think
the
word
liberal,
but
policies
that
have
failed
the
city,
and
so
I
just
I
guess
I
don't
understand
when
the
city
got
into
the
housing
market.
I
feel
like
that.
You
know.
There's
other
wastewater
public
works.
I
There's
other
tasks
that
the
city
should
be
spending
funding
on,
but
also
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
make
the
mistakes
of
other
cities,
and
that
includes
portland,
which
they
passed.
A
zoning
ordinance
that
eliminated
single-family
housing
in
certain
areas,
and
so
is
that,
is
there
any
possibility
that
that's
going
to
happen
through
this,
and
then
I
guess.
My
second
question
is:
how
is
ccdc
the
capital
city
development
corporation?
How
are
they
involved
in
the
zoning
rewrite.
B
That's
a
lot
of
questions
so,
let's
see
if
I
can
kind
of
take
them
one
by
one.
So
when
we
look
at
the,
why
are
we
doing
this
and
why
now?
The
answer
to
that,
in
short,
is,
is
like
I
had
notioned
earlier
that
you
know
we
had
an
original
zoning
code
that
was
written
in
1960
and
at
that
time
it
was
a
time
where
the
automobile
was
really
starting
to
take
off.
It
was
a
different
time.
Oftentimes
households
had
one
vehicle
only
and
so
you'll
notice
in
some
of
our
older
neighborhoods.
B
We
have
you,
know
the
single
car
garage.
We
have
the
single
carriage
house,
that's
located
outside
things
have
changed
drastically.
Since
then
you
know
we
used
to
focus
on
the
pedestrian,
but
over
time
the
city
has
grown
and
grown
and
oftentimes
it's
grown
because
of
affordability.
So
you
can't
afford
to
live
in
the
traditional
north
end,
because
housing
prices
have
increased,
and
so
now
you
have
to
move
out
a
little
bit
further.
B
It
focuses
on
vehicle
reliance
and
you
know
that
has
really
impacted
housing
and
how
we've
seen
it.
It
also
impacts
our
transportation
system.
So
now
we
have
vehicles
traveling
longer
periods
of
time,
they're
on
the
road
now
we're
experiencing
congestion,
we're
also
experiencing
air
quality
issues.
Because
of
that
then
we
also
have
individuals
that
are
now
located
further
away
from
their
jobs.
They
aren't
spending
time
with
their
families
they're
spending
times
on
the
roads
for
those
commutes,
and
so
it
all
kind
of
ties
together.
B
We
wanted
the
to
grow.
Predictably,
we
wanted
everybody
to
be
able
to
have
choice
in
their
transportation
options
and
as
we
grow,
we've
noticed
that
our
zoning
code
doesn't
truly
impact
and
reflect
what
our
comprehensive
plan
says,
and
so,
when
we
go
back
to,
I
believe
david
klinger
had
mentioned
that
hey.
We
have
this
comprehensive
plan
and
it's
just
thought
to
be
a
vision.
B
As
far
as
you
know
you
had
mentioned
hey?
When
did
the
city
get
into
the
housing
game?
Well,
you
know.
Housing
is
an
important
component
of
taking
care
of
our
citizens,
and
so
really
you
know,
housing
is
also
a
part
of
each
one
of
our
lives.
We
want
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
house
for
no
matter
what
time
of
our
life
we're
in
so
maybe
we're
a
young
student
and
we
want
to
live
near
the
college.
B
We
want
them
to
have
an
affordable
option
to
live
next
door
to
the
college,
then
maybe
on
in
life
they
move
on
and
they
choose
to
have
a
partner
or
they
choose
to
have
children.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
continue
to
live
in
the
city
near
their
family
or
the
goods
and
services
that
they've
come
to
love
those
small
businesses
that
I'm
seeing
deborah
mullner
talk
about.
B
We
want
them
to
be
close
to
those.
We
also
want
them
to
be
able
to
have
an
option
that,
as
they
age
that
they're
able
to
downsize,
perhaps
they
don't
have
as
much
maintenance
for
their
property.
So
we
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
people
can
live
in
the
neighborhoods
near
the
goods
and
services
that
they
want
near
their
family
members,
and
you
know,
really
live
how
they
want
to
live
as
they
contribute
to
to
the
overall
city.
C
Can
I
add
a
little
bit
if
I
would?
I
just
want
to
make
two
points.
The
the
blueprint
boise
does
not
say,
eliminate
family
zoning
minneapolis
has
done
it.
Portland's
done
it
very
few.
Cities
have
done
that.
The
reason
we
can
name
them
is
that
they're
very
few,
but
that
the
question
is,
it
also
hasn't
said:
don't
do
it,
it
is
said
we
have
a
vision
for
where
we're
going
to
grow
up
there.
To
be
honest,
guys,
there's
nothing.
You
can
do
to
keep
boise
from
growing.
You
can't
people
who
love
it.
C
That's
the
curse
of
being
a
nice
place.
People
want
to
move
there.
You
smart
cities,
decide
how
they're
going
to
accommodate
it,
there's
a
vision
which
is
advice
in
blueprint
boise
and
we
all
know
how
it
works.
If
you
don't
let
it
go
in
the
downtown,
it
goes
in
the
neighborhood.
If
you
don't
let
it
go
in
the
neighborhoods,
it
goes
somewhere
else.
It
goes
sprawl.
It's
a
balloon.
People
move
in.
You
can't
stop
them.
You
really
can't.
C
If
you
could,
you
would
just
send
housing
prices
to
the
roof
and
that's
a
problem,
a
problem
for
everybody.
It's
a
problem
for
people
who
live
there.
It's
a
problem
for
the
business.
So
all
what
blueprint
boise
says
is
we
have
a
vision
to
try
to
accommodate
our
growth
in
the
following
ways:
it
does
not
say
get
rid
of
single
families
on
it,
but
all
so
about
that.
C
The
the
out
job,
we,
you
saw
the
out
the
input
today
and
there
are
people
in
this
process
who
say,
but
I
think
we
should
have
accessory
dwelling
units,
but
I
think
we
shouldn't,
but
I
think
we
should,
but
I
think
we
shouldn't
that
is
going
to
be
worked
out
in
the
course
of
these
discussions
in
terms
of
how
do
we
find
a
middle
ground
or
how
do
we
find
a
solution
that
is
consistent
with
blueprint
boise?
C
That
is
a
credible,
realistic
way
to
say
we
do
think
these
parts
of
the
vision
can
be
incorporated
into
building
and
zoning
rules
and
incentives.
Now
I
would
say
this
with
your
question:
when
did
city
get
into
the
housing
business?
The
city's
always
been
in
the
housing
business
because
when
the
zoning
ordinance
won't
allow
things
to
be
built,
the
market
responds
by
driving
prices
up
or
telling
them
to
go
somewhere
else.
So
the
day
that
boise
adopted
zoning
it
was
in
the
housing
business.
Now.
C
The
question
is:
are
the
outcomes
of
that
engagement,
good
or
bad?
We
get
a
lot
of
feedback
all
over
america
in
most
of
the
city's
work
and
saying
it
ain't
working
well,
because
our
housing
is
becoming
unaffordable
and
we
may
need
to
re,
relax
or
redirect
or
refine
the
guidance.
It's
not
like
the
city
said.
Oh
we're
gonna
get
into
the
housing
market.
They
did
that
back
when
they
adopted
zoning
and
it
ain't
working
really
well
to
get
the
kinds
of
diversity
of
housing.
Bloopers
boise
says
so
you
don't
come
up
with
an
answer.
C
You
don't
say
we're
going
to
follow.
Minneapolis,
you
say
we're
going
to
run
a
process
to
engage
people
in
this
very
difficult
discussion
where
and
blueprint.
Boise
gives
you
guidance,
and
this
process
will
work
out
how
much
consensus
we
can
build
on
how
and
where
that's
that
growth
needs
to
be
accommodated
thanks.
B
We
want
to
be
working
toward
the
same
goal
and
not
against
one
another,
so
so
they
will
be
actively
engaged
as
we
move
forward
and
so
we'll
encourage
their
participation,
and
we
have
a
really
good
working
relationship
with
them
too.
So
that
will
also
foster
that
as
we
move
forward,
I
see
that
david
klinger
has
his
hand
raised
once
again.
David
take
the
floor.
F
Well,
just
one
real
brief
comment
and
then
a
question,
and
I
don't
want
to
take
anyone
else's
time.
If
I've
already
asked
one
question,
you
have
other
people
in
the
queue.
F
I'll
try
to
be
very
brief,
an
observation.
We
still
tend
to
start
these
processes
on
the
premise
that
there
is
nothing
you
can
do
to
stop
growth.
It's
just
gonna
happen,
and
that
may
be
true,
but
I
would
concurrently
say
that
while
we
can't
stop
growth,
we
can
certainly
diminish
the
marketing
of
boise,
and
I
think
there
is
a
growing
concern
in
the
city
that
we
are
in
fact
goosing
the
market
and
actually
creating
the
problem
through
some
of
our
marketing
and
promotion
policies.
F
That
tend
to
aggravate
the
problems
that
we
all
agree
are
facing
us.
So,
while
growth
cannot
be
stopped,
it
can
certainly
be
focused
and
it
can
be.
F
Limited
at
least
the
spigot
can
be
modulated
slightly,
and
I
think
I'm
hearing
that
among
more
and
more
people.
My
question
regards
the
the
term
we're
hearing
the
term
administrative
streamlining
more
and
more
in
terms
of
how
we
approach
our
zoning
ordinances
and
particularly
in
regard
to
the
to
the
the
up
zoning
issue
or
the
blanket
of
zoning.
That's
under
consideration
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
does
do,
does
putting
more
and
more
zoning
decisions
in
the
hands
of
city
administrators
as
a
as
a
streamlining
measure.
F
Actually
by
inference
limit
is
the
city
giving
up
its
right
of
review
and
by
inference
the
the
public
and
how
it
shapes
projects
like
what
we
currently
have
is
this
process
of
streamlining
zoning?
Ultimately
gonna
result
in
less
accountability,
rather
than
more.
B
Yeah,
I
know
I
think
that
is
actually
a
really
excellent
question
and
it
really
goes
back
to
the
idea
about
balance,
and
so
I
have
heard
from
neighborhoods
and
residents
that
said,
hey
my
voice
is
really
really
important
and
you
know
as
the
city
and
then
as
the
city
administrator
myself,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
that.
Yes,
your
voice
does
matter,
and
then
on
the
other
side
I
hear
from
developers
and
builders
and
they
say
hey
your
process.
B
B
Then
everybody's
going
to
have
a
clear
understanding
of
what
is
allowed
and
what
is
not
and
then
really
focusing
on
those
design.
Standards
of
you
know
are
they
being
inclusive?
Are
we
looking
at
accessibility
for
everyone
for
mothers
with
strollers
individuals
in
wheelchairs,
blind
individuals?
Are
we
accommodating
for
their
needs?
Are
we
transitioning
into
existing
neighborhoods?
Well,
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
haven't
served
us
really
well,
and
I've
said
this
time,
and
time
again
is
that
we
have
zoning
that
exists,
so
you
might
have
a
zone
of
r1m
or
r2
or
r3.
B
B
But
we
also
have
to
look
at
what
that
existing
zone
is,
and
so
we
have
to
be
fair
and
balanced,
and
you
know
we
don't
want
anybody
to
be
surprised.
We
don't
want
a
resident
to
be
surprised.
We
don't
want
a
developer
to
be
surprised,
we
want
them
to
know
exactly
what
they
can
expect
to
happen
next
to
them,
and
the
exact
design
features
that
they're
looking
for
so
connectivity,
quality
building
designs,
appropriate
parking
lot
locations
so
that
lighting
doesn't
adversely
impact
neighborhoods
all
of
those
things.
B
So
we
need
you
to
be
a
part
of
the
process
so
that
we
get
those
standards
right.
If
you
know,
for
some
reason,
you
know
we
do
do
the
administrative
review,
but
I
want
you
to
also
keep
in
mind
that
you
know
a
public
hearing.
Isn't
the
only
place
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
input?
You
can
work
with
your
planner
as
they're,
moving
forward
with
the
process,
and
you
always
have
due
process
on
your
side.
You
always
have
the
ability
to
appeal
a
decision.
B
B
B
That
up
zoning
has
a
very
negative
connotation
to
it
and
I
don't
think
that's
the
city's
intent
at
all.
I
don't
think
that
we'll
ever
get
rid
of
true
single
single-family
zoning
throughout
our
city.
I
think
that
this
process
is
going
to
look
at
what
I
would
call
right.
Zoning
so
making
sure
that
zones
are
correct
and
accurate
as
we
move
forward,
so
that
development
is
occurring
in
the
right
locations
that
we
have
infrastructure
that
can
support
that.
B
You
know
businesses
are
invited
to
participate
in
the
process
and
that's
a
really
great
question,
because
that
talks
about
engagement
as
well,
and
so
we
do
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
that.
So
we
are
here
to
help
everybody
through
the
process,
make
providing
comments
as
easy
as
we
can.
So
if
there
is
a
business
or
a
community
or
a
professional
organization
that
you
think
would
benefit
from
visiting
with
us,
let
us
know
or
if
you
think
that
we
would
benefit
from
hearing
from
those
businesses.
B
B
We
will
also
be
available
to
meet
with
individuals
or
groups
at
our
satellite
libraries
throughout
the
city.
We'll
also
be
communicating
regularly
through
our
newsletter,
and
so
I
would
like
everybody
to
be
aware
that
we
have
a
website.
That's
out
there,
if
you're,
not
a
part
of
our
mailing
list,
please
sign
up.
B
That's
going
to
be
a
way
for
us
to
effectively
notify
you
of
each
opportunity
that
you
have
to
participate
in
the
process
as
we
move
forward,
but
we
want
to
hear
from
small
businesses
and
when
we
think
about
small
businesses,
I
also
want
you
to
think
long
term.
You
know
make
that
stretch
that
we
talked
about
earlier,
that
small
businesses
are
important.
B
B
B
The
way
commerce
has
has
operated,
has
completely
changed,
and
we've
heard
a
number
of
comments
saying:
hey
retail
businesses
are
going
to
change.
I
think
people
are
recognizing
that
they
can
purchase
online.
B
They
are
recognizing
that
they
can
get
from
those
local
vendors
that
we
have.
We
don't
need
big
box
retailers,
and
so
now
we
need
to
be
thoughtful
of
well.
What
do
we
do
with
those
existing
buildings?
What,
if,
over
time
those
buildings
change?
How
can
we
make
them
change
fit
into
the
neighborhood
accommodate?
B
You
know
the
the
wants
and
the
goals
of
the
city
of
boise,
and
so
really
looking
long-term,
making
that
reach
to
say
hey.
We
do
have
specific
instances
today
that
we're
looking
for,
but
we
also
need
to
be
meeting
our
needs
for
the
future,
making
sure
that
they're,
sustainable
and
they're
people-oriented
we're
taking
care
of
our
people.
B
Well,
if
we
don't
have
anything
else,
you
know
I
want
to
notify
you
that
you
can
reach
us.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
you
to
comment
at
cityofboise.org
backslash
zoning
code,
rewrite
that's
an
opportunity
for
you
to
learn
everything
about
where
we
are
in
the
process.
How
the
process
will
move
forward.
It'll
also
notify
you
of
each
one
of
those
opportunities
for
you
to
engage
in
the
process.
B
B
I'm
thinking
you'll
see
that
on
monday,
that
will
be
available
both
in
english
as
well
as
spanish,
and
then
we
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
if
you
know
someone,
we
might
have
a
population
that
doesn't
have
access
to
a
computer
to
fill
out
the
online
survey
or
an
elderly
person
that
doesn't
have
the
technology
awareness
needed
to
fill
out.
That
survey,
or
even
somebody
that
may
not
have
reading
capabilities.
B
B
I
am
showing
that
we
do
have
one
comment
on
youtube
before
we
leave
as
well,
and
it
says
that
we
need
to
think
about
strategic
urban
wildlands
interfaces
to
prevent
wildfire
destruction
and
look
at
lower
water
consumption
requirements,
less
grass
and
lawns
using
native
vegetation
and
supporting
pollinators
and
wildlife,
and
I
think
all
of
those
are
are
really
good
suggestions,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
you
know
they
are
on
our
list
that
we
will
be
looking
at.
The
city
has
a
couple
of
unique
features.
B
B
Looking
at
low
water
consumption
and
less
grass,
and
really
looking
at
those
native
vegetations,
that's
also
a
key
component
just
based
on
the
climate
that
we
live
in,
that
we
do
have
an
arid
climate
and
we
need
to
be
looking
and
thinking
to
the
future
and
forward
thinking.
You
know:
preserving
our
resources,
specifically
water,
working
with
nature,
not
necessarily
against
it,
so
that
we
can
support
the
pollinators
that
that
are
so
valuable
to
us
and
in
our
wildlife
that
that
we
all
enjoy.
B
So
those
will
be
thoughts,
and
then
we
also
encourage
you
to
keep
all
of
those
things
that
are,
on
your
mind.
Make
sure
that
you
put
those
in
our
surveys
make
sure
that
you
comment
when
we
have
these
engagement
opportunities,
because
you
know
once
we
have
those,
and
we
hear
repeatedly
that
those
are
areas
of
concern.
