We've got another lingering open comment speaker. Weaver reading his comment, since he's not here.
It's another resident of Two Nine North, saying they weren't informed about the Planning Board hearing.
A bit atypical for council to read open comment from people who miss their chance to speak.
But I guess they're making exceptions for participation via Zoom. Like, if you walked into council chambers later in the meeting and were like, "Hey I missed open comment," they wouldn't let you take the podium.
Also they're not timing this comment. No idea if it fit in 2 min or not.
Anyway, moving on.

That is, landmarking the Boulder Teahouse. Two interesting tidbits here: It would be the youngest individual landmark in city history and maybe will become the first time Boulder landmarks the interior of a building.
Some details: 1900 28th Street
Adaptive reuse and redesign
11,746 sq ft addition plus outdoor space, landscaping and public amenities
Want to increase building height from 38 feet to 51 feet (two to three stories)
155,136 sq ft of office space
7,730 sq ft of retail “marketplace”
West side of the building will be “pulled in” by 30 feet, basement level daylighted, create a plaza space along the western facade and two interior “lightwell” spaces, roof deck
30% will be open space
Sidewalk will be added, bike street on Walnut widened
Young is reading a declaration of racism as a public health crisis. 84 cities/towns, 42 counties have declared that racism is, in fact, a public health crisis
We've seen one example of this in the disparities of COVID cases and hospitalizations, which disproportionately affect communities of color.
She had a proposal about testing but I missed it bc my dog was ralphing (again)
Here's your open comment list. Please keep it clean tonight, Boulder. My anxiety is just too high for me to handle any shenanigans. But, you know, you do you. www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/October_2…
Would rather have f-bombs than dry, pre-written comment tho, tbh.
