Planning and Zoning Commission — June 24
The Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to discuss a proposed dockless e-bike rental pilot program for Buena Vista. The proposal involves up to 12 e-bikes stationed at 4-5 business-hosted bike bases. Staff sought guidance on how to regulate the program under the existing zoning code and whether a future code amendment is needed. The agenda noted the commission would provide policy direction only, with no formal action taken.
The commission also planned to ratify minutes from its previous meeting and announce the cancellation of its July 1 meeting.
Historic Preservation Commission — July 1
The Historic Preservation Commission scheduled a public hearing to determine whether the home at 116 Cornell Drive, built circa 1964, meets criteria for local landmark designation. If deemed eligible, a pending window replacement permit could be suspended for up to 180 days to explore preservation alternatives.
Additional agenda items included:
- An update from Code Enforcement Officer Bryans on the Pearl Theater.
- Discussion of a possible HPC birthday celebration on August 13, 2026.
- Brainstorming for an August retreat and strategic planning.
- The History Colorado 250th/150th historic marker program.
