“Thank you. I think my only concern regarding this project is currently that the permit wasn't approved before, I guess, the building of the structure was proceeded. I did see some of the letters from the community, and there is a lot of support for this project, but one of them does indicate that they would like to see this project move forward if the fees associated with not having a permit approved were applied. So I'd kind of like to hear maybe other commissioners' thoughts on that. Anyone? Okay, well, those are my concerns. So if it is approved, I would actually like to see those applied.”

“Thank you. I just have a follow up question regarding sign postage and permitting. So and this is just a question because I'm a new commissioner and I'm trying to learn the ropes here. There seems to be a correlation between approval of a permit and posting of signage, which Is that correct? I guess I should ask that in a question. Is that correct?”

“I just have a comment based on what Jeremy just said. Maybe it would be best to adhere to fire code instead of talking about keeping an ADU from being built in the future. That's just my suggestion is we can comment on the code at hand in the variance, but not necessarily designate future plan for the property or the garage. Sorry.”

“Thank you, Chair. My question was for Catherine. So in the neighborhood, oh, I'll wait till you get up there.”

“Yes. Hi. Thank you so much for being here. So my question, in the neighborhood meeting, you did address that utility easement, that 10-foot, I believe, utility easement. There was community concern about accessibility of other businesses to that easement. And I believe you said that you all would be managing that 10-foot easement area.”

“Well, that's kind of my question of what does that actually mean of management? Like, if there's somebody that shouldn't be using that area, would you all be the ones to post signs? Or, like, I'm just trying to figure out how... there seems to be concern over the use of that area. And I remember in that meeting you saying this easement area would be managed by this property. So I'm wondering what that entails and what that means.”

“Yes, thank you so much. Okay, and then I had another question. So this was addressed in the traffic letter attachment 13. And it's more of like a multimodal traffic and sort of safety question. I don't know who I address that to.”

“Staff, OK. Staff in general. So my question is, in this letter, it says that the site is located on the northwest corner of 8th Street and Main. And then there's a transit stop east side of Main Street directly across the site, serviced by RTD Route 324, and that there is no sidewalk. So it's stating that pedestrians will generally wait for gaps in traffic. to cross main street and i'm wondering um how we if that is should i mean i find that to be a traffic safety concern and how that could potentially be addressed i literally read that in the letter and was like not waiting for gaps in…”

“Thank you, Chair. I believe I read in that report it's about roughly 900 feet is the, I guess, amount of feet that it would take for somebody to actually be able to access Recovery Cafe from the nearest safe access point. So I just wanted to make sure that that's what I was reviewing there. Is that like a couple of blocks?”

“Thank you chair. Um, my questions are related to the impact report, so I don't know who I should, um, address those questions too. And I have several and um, okay, so I'm just going to get started. Okay. So, uh, when transportation hubs are added, What impacts are there on public safety? I did read in the report that there's going to be assumed minimal impact. But in the history of having transportation hubs added into a city, what sort of patterns are you seeing with public safety? Do you see increased crime? Do you see things like that?”

“infrastructure being built for housing the assumption that that's the number of residents that will come in what impacts on um transit housing uh will be seen if per unit is higher per person like what how do you forecast the impacts of that if it's more than 1.8 and do you see foresee good or bad impacts if that number is on the conservative side”

“Well, okay. So beyond that question, I'm just trying to get a better understanding and a better feeling of what these impacts could potentially mean. Because I, so this gap here, so your assessed valuation and your baseline, right? So the in-between is the money generated, correct? Yes. Right.”

“So that is an assumption that this plan is 100% successful. That's something that I read in the impact report is that these numbers are assumed based on success of the projections in this report. So that's why I'm asking kind of these roundabout questions is because 100% success rate is pretty certain. Anyway, so my question was if the number of residents were to be higher or lower based on whether the infrastructure being built for housing, which I did read is going to be market rate apartments, what that would potentially look like. I know it's a screenshot. It's just all of these things…”

“Yeah, it's very interesting. I'm learning so much about this, and I just find it very interesting. So... basically what I need to reframe my thinking around what this impact report is actually showing me. So these developments are hopefully going to be developed, right? And so that is the assessed value, not necessarily the number of resident influx or the amount of people that occupy or the amount of students. That's not what this report is saying. This is purely the assessed value on the development that this takes place. So I'm just hoping that I'm reframing that correctly. I have one last…”

“Okay. Okay. Well, I'm wondering how this last comment I have specifically works and because I did see in the impact report some county numbers in there as well. So this relates to the housing that's going to be made and how its market rate apartments that is projected to be built. In 2023, the county passed an affordable and attainable Housing tax and so I'm just wondering if that is a missed opportunity in creating housing if all of the housing projected to be built is market rate apartments Thanks for that question and I think lots of folks have have had that question including folks on the…”

“Thank you, Chair. Hi. Okay. So this time clock, right, I have a question. So, the funding in place for these TIFs is going to generate funding for these taxing districts and it also includes necessary funding from public and private partnerships. Is that what I'm reading correctly?”

“Thank you. So after the 25 years, the funding runs out with these taxing districts and public-private partnerships?”

“So the infrastructure and place in these TIF areas, how are those maintained and funded if the funding after 25 years goes back to the original districts?”
