One potential item for call-up (though I doubt council will review it).

It's 1820 15th Street / 1603 Walnut
Grace Commons Church, formerly First Presbyterian
3-story addition (43,854 sq ft) to main church
Includes rec space, meeting rooms, church offices
AND a 4-story mixed use building with ground-floor cafe, assembly space plus 30 permanently affordable homes
Here's a whole presentation about it, if you want to learn more.
Planning Board OK'd these plans.
The church has been here for 150 years
They also host Deacon's Closet, which provides clothing and hygiene options for the unhoused community.
Looks like council is not calling this up, so the Planning Board decision will stand. As expected.
@threadreaderapp please unroll. Thank you.

Next up: Speer has requested a check-in on emergency shelter for the unhoused, as Boulder Shelter has hit capacity this winter.

The Shelter added 5 more beds in response.
The fire has exacerbated things, bc the Shelter relies on hotel beds for overflow and.... hotels are full. They can't do extra hotel rooms during "critical" weather (6+ inches of snow or below 10 degrees), per email from Firnhaber today.
"We have been talking about this even before the fires, bc COVID was creating real challenges for us," Firnhaber says. (Hotel rooms are also used for COVID-vulnerable populations)

OK, Boulder is bringing back its assault weapons ban and limits on high-capacity mags which was first passed in May 2018.

In March 2021, it was blocked by a CO court. 10 days later: the King Soopers shooting
After that, State legislature repealed state preemption on local gun control. So Boulder is bringing it back on Feb. 1
Bringing them* back, since it's really two laws. And maybe some extra things. Things like
- open carry
- waiting period for gun purchases
- firearms-free areas

OK, our lone public hearing item of the night: The historic landmarking of September School, 1902 Walnut.

Presentation: documents.bouldercolorado.gov/WebLink/DocVie…
I didn't take notes, but the presentation says this is the 12th-oldest building still standing in Boulder.
Kelly Molinet, with September School, says the current owner has not taken care of the property. They are trading on the school's good name for this project, which she doesn't have a problem with. But...
"I do have a problem with the character and behavior of the current owner."

Friend: Can we use the 30th Street facility for extra sheltering? (Where winter sheltering was for 2 yrs before it all got folded into Boulder Shelter)
Firnhaber: That site is being developed for affordable housing, and the building has tenants.
Gonna have more convo on shelter later on. Lots of requests during open comment for more shelter, as Boulder's has been hitting capacity and turning people away.
Apologies I did not tweet; my heart and brain can only handle so much at the moment.

I am here and I am tweeting #Boulder city council; just trying to get Spanish-language resources for #MarshallFire together, too.
Obviously the latter is more important, but I'll tweet what's relevant tonight, which may include but not be limited to: Discussion on emergency winter sheltering, assault weapons ban, 2022 workplan. And other stuff.
First an update on the #MarshallFire recovery efforts.

Next: Council is changing the way ppl email them. No notes in the packet, so I'm gonna try and pay attention to tweet what I hear.

TLDR is: Stop emailing council@bouldercolorado.gov They're doing a form instead.
This will hopefully make it so that more emails get answered, bc there are just so. many. that council can't keep up.

Also, like 60 staff members are copied on each email, so it's hard to track who answers what.
