If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Community
benefit
here
to
talk
about
the
effort
is
Carl
Guyler,
our
senior
planner
and
code
amendment
specialist
Carl
welcome
the
inside
border,
where
we
jump
in
with
the
I
think
the
first
question
everybody's
asking
about
Community
Benefit,
you
know:
what's
the
new
ordinance
going
to
do
as
far
as
what
does
it
change
the
height
limits?
The.
B
New
ordinance
does
not
change
the
maximum
height
limit
in
the
city
of
Boulder.
The
maximum
height
limit
in
the
city
is
set
by
the
city
charter
that
was
done
in
1971,
so
it
sets
it
at
55
feet.
What
it
does
is
it
changes
the
conditions
between
the
top
of
the
maximum
height
limit
and
a
zoning
district
up
to
that
55
feet
so
just
want
to
make
it
clear:
it's
not
raising
the
height
limit
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
okay,.
A
B
It's
community
benefit
is,
is
anything
that
you
know
can
contribute
to
the
community
needs,
as
identified
in
the
boulder
valley.
Comforts
of
plan
so
obviously
firmly
affordable.
Housing
is
one
of
those
identified
needs,
potentially
public
spaces
space
for
the
arts,
there's
a
number
of
different
things
that
have
been
identified
already
in
our
comp
plan.
So
with
the
new
program,
what
we
call
phase
one
of
community
benefits,
really
focuses
on
permanent,
affordable
housing.
B
So
in
this
case,
if
there's
a
building,
typically
a
by
right
building
built
up
to
the
zoning
district
maximum
is
about
one
to
three
stories.
If
you
go
above
that,
it
requires
a
process
called
a
height
modification
and
that's
been
done
through
what
we
call
site
review
for
years.
It
requires
Planning
Board,
review
and
specific
criteria,
but
there's
no
specific
criteria
in
the
code
before
this
ordinance
that
related
to
community
better.
It
was
more
about
compatibility
with
the
surrounding
and
proportion
of
two
other
buildings
that
are
over
the
height
limit.
B
B
Been
talking
about
Community
Benefit
for
a
number
of
years
and
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
over
the
past
year,
learned
like
talking
to
focus
groups
and
meeting
with
people
at
community
meetings
and
kind
of
better
understanding
the
community
values.
So
we
were
able
to
identify
Alyssa
long
list
of
community
benefits,
but
with
the
permanent,
affordable
piece.
What
would
happen
is
if
you
go
above
the
height
limit,
the
the
typical
requirements
for
permanently
affordable
housing
would
increase.
So
if
you're
familiar
with
the
code
under
the
height
limit,
the
requirement
is
25.
B
Percent
of
the
unit's
proposed
on
a
property
would
have
to
be
permanently
affordable.
It's
called
our
inclusionary
housing
requirements,
but
for
the
bonus
floor
area.
If
you
go
above
that
height
limit
and
a
fourth
or
a
fifth
story,
that
requirement
would
increase
to
36
percent
of
the
bonus
units.
There's
also
what
we
call
commercial
linkage,
fees
that
relate
to
a
funding
for
affordable
housing.
B
A
B
Does
it's
specifically
tied
to
the
comprehensive
plan?
So
if
you
go
back
to
the
plan
which
was
adopted
in
2017,
there's
three
policies
that
are
specific
to
this,
so
I
don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
there's
one
that
relates
to
community
benefit
and
there's
one.
That's
relates
to
building
height
and
there's
one
that
relates
to
a
permanently
affordable
housing
and
it
all
talks
about
if
a
project
is
adding
intensity
or
density
or
height,
that
the
expectation
is
that
there'd,
be
some
sort
of
community
benefit,
with
a
focus
on
permanently
affordable
housing.
A
B
Two
is
already
underway:
we've
already
identified
a
number
of
the
other
community
benefits
that
I
spoke
of
like
below
market
rate
commercial
space
for
the
arts,
transportation
improvements
are
all
identified.
We
basically
just
needed
to
define
them
more
and
understand
exactly
what
those
mean
so
that
they
can
be
put
into
the
code
and
be
and
enforceable.
B
B
B
The
new
ordinance,
which
is
the
phase
1
of
community
benefit,
would
go
into
effect
on
January
1st
2020.
As
far
as
what
the
community
would
see,
I
mean.
Most
of
these
projects
are
allowed
in
specific
areas
that
are
shown
in
appendix
J,
which
is
a
map.
That's
in
our
land
use
code.
That
shows
exactly
where
height
modifications
can
be
requested,
so
that
map
was
was
changed
slightly
by
council
in
their
action.
B
They
added
the
Alpine
balsam
area
plan
area
to
the
areas
of
air,
where
you
can
ask
for
a
height
modification,
as
well
as
the
the
residential
high
3
zoning
district
rh3,
and
then
the
other
areas
are
the
same.
So
basically
height
modifications
would
still
occur
in
those
areas.
You'd
might
see
taller
buildings,
the
difference
being
that
there
there
would
either
be
more
on-site
permanently
affordable
housing
in
those
projects
or
more
funding
for
permanent,
affordable
projects
and.
