“Okay, thanks, Chair. I have a couple of questions for Planner Hewitt-Apperson. Thank you. Just trying to get a couple of clarifications about process. So if this variance was not granted, does the applicant need to go back to the Historic Preservation Committee or Commission to request for a new certificate of appropriateness for the setback version of the structure?”

“Okay. There was a couple of questions about the improvement location certificate. Can you explain to us what an ILC is and how is that different from a full-stake survey?”

“Okay, but now that it will be moving, because we're going to move it back within the property boundaries, a full survey is now required as part of the permitting process, is that correct?”

“Okay, and when does that happen in the process? Because if this was granted, the applicant would go and apply for the permit, and that's when they need to have that information ready when they apply for the permit?”

“Okay. Thank you. The other question I have is for Planner Hewitt-Apperson. Has there been any further efforts to access the hard copy of the Sanborn maps to determine when the structure was exactly built?”

“Thank you. Commissioner Wang. Thanks. There was a question mentioned earlier this evening from the public invited to be heard about the waiver of the neighborhood notification. Can you explain why that happened?”

“Okay, thank you. Okay. No, one more thing. So I just want to give my thoughts on this. So Commissioner Boone did mention that the design and the design narrative that we've seen is very rudimentary, I guess. But it sounds like that this will not be what is built because when you go through the building permitting process, you need to have actual plans with the foundation and everything up to code. Is that correct?”

“Okay. Okay. And given that this has the support of the neighbors directly to the east, sorry, to the west, to the south, to the north, and a couple of other folks on the same block on Collier and 6th, and the fact that this is trying to rebuild to the historic designation or the feel of a historic neighborhood of what it was like, Because I feel like if you put the variance back in, then it's not going to be the same feeling as a historic neighborhood anymore. So I am for this approval.”

“Hi, thank you. I have a couple of questions about, I guess, clarifying the first and main properties right now. They're currently in the Southeast Longmont Urban Renewal Plan. Is that correct? It's currently in the SLRP plan? Correct. So and they will be removed in September. via a minor modification to its own plan. Is that correct? With a minor modification, with a process with a minor modification, does that need to go through the planning and zoning again to review it to see if it fits with the comprehensive plan?”

“It doesn't. Okay. The other question I have is why are you separating this piece of property out into its own distinct area?”

“All right. Okay, thank you. Yeah, because I was wondering, because, I mean, it's a huge boundary, but you could have the TIFF anywhere inside within the slurp to be used in the first domain, but because of the new laws...”

“Okay. Okay, thank you. Um, the other question I have is, um, right now, this first and main area is currently zoned as mu downtown mix us downtown. I know that at the previous in the May, Laura meeting, we've talked about mu IR, the innovation and redevelopment zoning. Are you looking to rezone this area into mu IR in the future?”

“Okay, so MUIR is created in anticipation maybe this will be lumped into that area. That is accurate. Okay, thank you. And then the final question I have is, so previously with the projects that came into planning and zoning, we've had a concept plan that comes to us, and it's very, I wouldn't say it's super detailed, but it has boundaries, it has plans of where the exits are, the streets, alignments, what... you know, where things are with this actual plan here. It's kind of generic. It doesn't say it's not very detailed as like It doesn't have a concept plan of what we've are familiar with,…”

“okay so if i want to rephrase this this plan is more of a framework on how to deal with a blight in the area versus an actual how to deal with the development correct okay thank you commissioner edgley wells”

“Okay, thank you. Commissioner Wang. thanks chair um a couple of comments um in the impact report that was included in our package mentioned a conditions and blight study which we did not get attachment on but if anybody wants to go out and look at it it is a part of the packet from the laura meeting on march 31st 2026. if you want to see how they determine what's blight um the other comment and i just want to voice um and it was brought up at the Laura meeting in May about the types of housing that will be going into this area and I know this is out of our control based on you know…”

“The question I have is pretty much like with market rate and like that. I wasn't even referring specifically to affordable housing for sale, but more like market rate for sale. It sounds like you've been talking about right now you're planning this as a penciling out for rentals only. But do you foresee anything with developers saying, hey, we might want to build some for sale market rate units?”
