Tell Boulder City Council "NO" on the proposed Co-op Ordinance

No in Low Density Neighborhoods. Current legal Co-Ops are in high density or multifamily zones where they should remain. Ostara was an 8 Unit Apartment building of 6000+ SQ FT that housed 20+ tenants. Now it is a Co-Op that has up to 26 at any given time. Thus the impact was not felt in the neighborhood. If that SQ FT per person stands to reason, the new ordinance should be 13 tenants in 3000 SQ FT - at the most.

I already live next door to an illegal coop and it has caused countless problems, resulting in calls to the police, and social services. This is not a good idea to promote in the low density neighborhoods in Boulder.

We love our neighborhood and moved to it based on existing zoning laws. Changing it now is not fair.

No to Co-Op

I adamantly oppose rental co-ops in low density Boulder neighborhoods. My family and my street facing neighbors are directly and negatively impacted by the Picklebrick coop attempting to be grandfathered in to our single family, owner occupied neighborhood.

NO!!! Please do not pass this!!!!!

No!

This neighborhood was designed and ZONED for single family homes. This is one of the primary factors that houses here consistently sell at a premium prices. The infrastructure was not designed for high density occupancy. Zoning should NOT be changed without a majority VOTE from the residents who are immediately affected.

the current co-op ordinance is appropriate but more than 4 people is just too much impact in family neighborhoods

There is no reason to have 15 people living together. A 3 bedroom house would have 5 people per bedroom. This is a ridiculous, unsafe, and unhealthy!!!

Please do not allow the co-op ordinance to pass. We chose to live in Newlands because it is a quiet, family neighborhood. We would really like to see it remain that way. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks, City Council, for considering the negative impacts that co-ops will have on my beloved low-density neighborhood. Twelve to 15 people per home is simply too many. I already have an illegal "co-op" next door with just 6 young adults and their vehicles and barking dogs are more than enough.

The current limit that the City of Boulder allows for unrelated people living together is enough. Allowing 15 adults to live in any house is rediculous and will ruin any neighborhood character. If I wanted to live in an apartment or condominimum I would have chosen this lifestyle.

Strongly oppose Co-op Ordinance.

Absolutely inappropriate to risk the lifetime investment status of the senior citizens that supported and built a livable Boulder in favor of immediately gratifying the desires of large groups of renters to live the good life created by others. Codes are a contract - low density living is a contract that should be honored.

Please vote "NO".

Low density means now density! I purchased my home based on the zoning for a single family neighborhood. The City should not have the right to change residential neighborhoods, nor should they force coops into said neighborhoods.

I totally agree with BNA on this coop issue. Coops will be a disaster in our neighborhood.

This ordinance is out of step with the heart of Boulder, dipping to newcomers who do not understand what they are destroying, or what they moved here for. This could be a good ordinance but it needs to consider people who have lived here for quality of life issues.

5 Councilors maybe a 6th don't truly understand what neighborhoods are worried about. Only Lisa Morzel and Mary Young are listening. Its important to turn out more opponents at the next Council hearing.
