City Council Meeting Minutes December 8, 2020 Page 3 of 4 Members were supportive of keeping the PUD Review and Waiver Criteria Update and the Old Town Overlay Zone District Update on the list. Members discussed the Potential Ballot Issues for 2021 deciding it is worth continuing the discussion to determine if there is public support for a ballot issue in either 2021 or 2022. Members removed the Front Street Plaza Improvements item from the list noting it is not a priority at this time. There was strong support for the sustainability item but members would like to see more details to understand the specific projects included in this. The consensus was to keep all items rolled over from 2020 and suggested by staff except for the Front Street Plaza Improvements. City Council Annual/Recurring Items Members briefly reviewed the City Council Annual Items and Recurring Items. All items remained on the list. Public Comments Stephanie Rowe, 631 West Street, encouraged the City Council to include a prairie dog management plan on the 2021 work plan. She suggested creating a plan based on the current Lafayette plan. City Council Identified Items Members reviewed the items the City Council suggested for inclusion on the 2021 plan. Members asked staff to find some options related to affordable housing including inclusionary zoning and to determine how to relate this to the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and to align it with the efforts of Boulder County. There was consensus to include on the list the Sustainability/Green Building Code updates and affordable housing tools. Members removed these items: process for establishing Open Space priorities, community engagement on streets and paving; changes to refuse hauling requirements; and larger notification areas for public notices. Members noted they still support these items but feel there is not the bandwidth to accomplish these items this year with everything else. Members asked the Economic Vitality Committee to look into limits on delivery fees as a way to help local businesses with COVID recovery and have the Committee make a recommendation on if Council should consider it.
