DISCUSSION ITEM — NEW BUSINESS a) Comprehensive Plan Update — Discussion related to draft vision and values statements for upcoming community engagement and project update. Staff Presentation: Hirt introduced the presentation for the Comprehensive Plan update. He said that the purpose of the presentation and discussion was to provide the final results from the first round of community engagement and discuss the plan's vision and values for upcoming engagement. He also updated the Commission on new legislation passed by the Colorado Legislature that impacted the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Discussion: Mihaly asked how the legislation would impact existing neighborhoods that had already been built out, and whether it would apply to vacant lots in those neighborhoods. Hirt said that this was something staff was still trying to determine. He added that there were questions as to whether the new ADU rules would contribute to the density requirements. He said that it was the understanding of staff that the density requirements were applied across the whole transit area, and that any deficits in existing neighborhoods would have to be made up elsewhere. Mihaly also asked whether the new rules would apply to open space.
