Final Resolution: Motion Passes Yes: Unanimous 3. Public Forum Sharon Bushor: It would be useful to know the volume of issues and the timeline for how long different issues take to resolve. I did see that Champlain inspects all of their housing units each year but I didn’t see what proportion UVM inspects per year. I wonder if the State would have any role in the inspection of institutional housing. Page 1 of 3 Page 4 of 67 4. University Exemption for Periodic Minimum Housing Inspection Ordinance Discussion 4.1 Update from Champlain College Administration Nic Anderson (Champlain College) spoke about Champlain College’s maintenance protocol. More information from Champlain College is available in the agenda packet on CivicClerk. Councilors Bergman and Barlow both wanted more information about the volume of requests and the data on how long requests go before being resolved. Councilor Kane arrived at 5:05 PM. 4.2 Update from UVM Administration Wendy Koenig, Alicia Estey, and Amanda Clayton (UVM) spoke about UVM’s maintenance and inspection protocols. More information from UVM is available in the agenda packet on CivicClerk. 4.3 Update from UVM Student Tenants’ Union Members of the UVM Student Tenants’ Union shared their updates and responded to the updates from the UVM administration. Alve Yanowitz (UVM Student Tenants’ Union): I believe that the City should inspect dormitories like any other housing units to ensure compliance as the university’s current practices are not sufficient. Councilor Bergman said that improving the maintenance reporting system is in both parties’ interests and should be prioritized so there is reliable data. 4.4 Update from the City of Burlington Bill Ward (Director of DPI) said he intends to have draft language for review at the next meeting on this issue. He said that he has ideas about how to facilitate university compliance and to shift the timeframe of inspection compliance toward the summer for ease for both the City and institution. 5. Any Other Committee Business The next meeting is scheduled for March 6th at 2:00 PM. The next meeting on the institutional exemption ordinance is scheduled for March 19th. 6. Adjournment Motion to adjourn by Councilor Bergman, without objection. Page 2 of 3 Page 5 of 67 The meeting was adjourned at 6:43 PM.

To illustrate an example of this issue, we have recently been asked by the DRB to provide full TDM services to our residents for our properties at Cambrian Rise. We believe a modification and clarification would be in keeping with the intent of the Ordinance amendment discussions we had with several of you in 2022-2023. This resulted in an exemption for buildings with a significant level of affordability (at least 75% of units that would meet the IZ ordinance definition of "affordable"). As we stated in 2022-2023, the full TDM Ordinance, if applied to affordable housing projects, would be cost prohibitive. At a time when we are experiencing significant increases in insurance, taxes and maintenance costs, and we are providing as many services (SASH®, housing retention, mental health) as we can to address the basic needs of our vulnerable populations, and to prevent evictions, we cannot afford more requirements layered onto our operations. Page 7 of 67 At Cambrian Rise, the larger CDO's definition of a project does not allow for the affordable housing partial exemption to apply to units that are within a PUD, even if they otherwise meet the criteria for the modified implementation requirements. We are requesting a minor modification to the definition of affordable housing included within Table 8.1.16-1, to explicitly allow the "Affordable Projects" definition to include buildings within a PUD, including if they are serving as that PUD’s IZ units. This modification would also ensure that the requirements are not being retroactively applied to buildings - such as CHT's Laurentide and Cathedral Square's Juniper Housing - that were constructed prior to the TDM ordinance's implementation. This exemption is critical for us in both standalone buildings and buildings in PUDs. Our buildings feature lower levels of car ownership than their market-rate counterparts, and our staff spend enormous portions of their days navigating many layers of regulatory compliance. Waiving the costliest portions of TDM allows us to preserve our federally and locally restricted operating budgets for our key mission -- supporting our communities' highest needs residents — without adding cars to Burlington's taxed road system. In all cases, we would still maintain TDM plans that encompass the Outreach & Education portions of the ordinance. Thanks for your time and consideration. Attachment: Transportation Demand Management Memo to City Council 1.9.2023 Page 8 of 67 To: Mayor Weinberger and Burlington City Council From: Cindy Reid, Cathedral Square Michael Monte, Champlain Housing Trust Jonathan Farrell, COTS Jess Neubelt, Evernorth Re: Expansion of Transportation Demand Management Ordinance Date: January 9, 2023 As representatives of the City’s Designated Housing Agencies, we are writing to support the proposed amendment to the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance. Specifically, we support that the amendment requires affordable housing projects (defined as projects with at least 75% affordable units as defined by IZ criteria or housing rented to residents who receive public subsidy), to comply with only Section 8.1.16 c. 1. (education and outreach for residents) and section 8.1.16 c 4 (reporting to the City upon request). We also support that previously permitted projects with existing TDM plans (e.g., COTS) will be able to seek an administrative amendment to their permit, aligning with the new TDM criteria. Finally, we believe that the shift from mandating TDM strategies to providing a menu of options will save renters and landlords money that could be better spent in more targeted, impactful ways. We appreciate your hearing our concerns about the prior TDM iteration’s potential impacts on affordable housing viability as well as your time spent working with us on this amendment. Our affordable housing communities meet many public goals, and it’s critical that we maintain their viability in the process, while housing some of our most vulnerable community members. As developers and operators or affordable communities, we know that these changes will make a real difference in our ability to adequately finance and manage our buildings. Thank you!

Overview This Amendment proposes clarifying the definition of affordable housing projects and their obligations in relation to Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements. Specifically, this Amendment proposes including affordable buildings within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the definition of Affordable Projects when determining TDM requirement applicability, and further clarifying that Affordable Projects are only required to meet a subset of TDM requirements as provided in Article 8, Section 8.1.16 of the Comprehensive Development Ordinance, even in the case of a Waiver of Maximum Parking Limitations applying TDM requirements to a project or a PUD. 2. Background & Past Efforts This Amendment addresses concerns raised by the developers of buildings that contain affordable housing within the Cambrian Rise PUD that compliance with full TDM requirements would represent an undue administrative and cost burden for the affordable buildings in particular. The TDM requirements in question were activated by a 2022 project-wide Maximum Parking Waiver and dwelling unit count increase amendment for the entire Cambrian Rise PUD. Under the current CDO regulations regarding Waivers of Maximum Parking Limitations (Sec. 8.1.8 (a) 7. A.), the Cambrian Rise project must submit a project-wide TDM Plan consistent with TDM regulations (Sec. 8.1.16) wherein all buildings in the PUD are subject to the full suite of applicable TDM Program requirements. The developers of the affordable buildings for Cambrian Rise sought an amendment to the project’s current TDM plan (which was submitted with the 2022 project amendment) to exempt these buildings from elements of the existing TDM plan and separate them from the rest of the Cambrian Rise project with respect to the implementation of Outreach and Education strategies and TDM strategies. The Development Review Board reviewed this request on December 16, 2025, finding that the affordable buildings in question were part of the overall Cambrian Rise project (providing much of its required inclusionary housing) and benefit from the project-wide maximum parking waiver; that the CDO’s definition of Affordable Projects in Section 8.1.16 does not apply to affordable buildings within a PUD that are fulfilling a project’s inclusionary housing requirements; and that a project-wide TDM plan must be inclusive of the entire development. The Cambrian Rise project’s existing TDM plan comprises four elements, as required by Section 8.1.16: Outreach and Education (which is being undertaken by the Cambrian Rise property manager in partnership with CATMA), TDM Strategies (in partnership with CATMA), Parking Management, and a TDM Agreement (fulfilled by the TDM plan). The exemption sought for affordable buildings, which this Amendment in effect provides by clarifying that the definition of Affordable Projects includes affordable buildings within a PUD and that these buildings may also be exempted from project-wide TDM requirements imposed by a maximum parking waiver, limits TDM requirements to Outreach and Education and a TDM Agreement only. The City Council Ordinance Committee discussed the possibility of an amendment to address this topic and heard from affordable housing developers about the project and TDM requirements in question on February 6, 2026. Page 18 of 67 Staff from the Office of City Planning also provided context at this meeting about the existing CDO requirements, and shared information about two relevant forthcoming amendments: a larger TDM amendment that is currently being drafted to comprehensively update Burlington’s TDM requirements, which will also include updated requirements and strategies related to affordable housing projects; and a larger Inclusionary Zoning amendment that will update and modernize the City’s inclusionary housing development requirements. Committee members elected to advance ZA-26-03 as a standalone amendment prior to these larger updates, specifically to address the concerns outlined above. 4. Proposed Amendment: ZA-26-03 a) Amendment Type Text Amendment Map Amendment Text & Map Amendment b) Purpose Statement The proposed change in ZA-26-03 aims to clarify definitions of affordable housing projects in relation to TDM requirements. c) Proposed Amendment 1. Amendments to Article 8: Parking • Amends Sec. 8.1.8 (a) 7. A. (ii) to clarify that Affordable Projects as defined in Table. 8.1.16-1 are only required to comply with two applicable sections of TDM requirements when a Waiver of Maximum Parking Limitations is applied to a project. • Amends Sec. 8.1.16 (b) Table 8.1.16-1 to clarify that the definition of Affordable Projects includes buildings within a Planned Unit Development that meet or exceed provided criteria. d) Relationship to planBTV This following discussion of conformance with the goals and policies of planBTV is prepared in accordance with the provisions of 24 V.S.A. §4441(c). Theme: Dynamic Distinctive Inclusive Connected Land Use: Conserve Sustain Grow Compatibility with Proposed Future Land Use & Density The proposed amendment aligns with the land use and density policies outlined in planBTV. Its purpose is to support affordable housing development by balancing economic challenges and mobility needs. This change reflects the intent of the “Inclusive” theme, which prioritizes providing and promoting affordable housing choices and accessible transportation and mobility options for all residents. Impact on Safe & Affordable Housing This amendment reduces administrative and cost burdens that TDM requirements may impose on affordable housing development. By providing for the exemption of some TDM requirements for affordable buildings within a PUD that are providing required inclusionary housing for a project, this amendment may encourage more PUDs to separate their required inclusionary dwelling units into standalone affordable buildings rather than incorporating them into buildings that also contain market-rate units, resulting in increasing segregation of affordable housing from market-rate housing. Planned Community Facilities This amendment has no direct impact on planned community facilities. h) Process Overview Page 19 of 67 The following chart summarizes the current stage in the zoning amendment process, and identifies any recommended actions: Planning Commission Process Draft Amendment Presentation to & discussion Approve for Public Public Hearing Approved & forwarded to prepared by Staff by Commission: Hearing Council 3/4/26 City Council Process First Read & Referral Ordinance Committee Council Ordinance Committee Public to Ordinance discussion Second Read Approval & recommend Hearing Committee 2/6/26, 3/6/26 Adoption *Discussed by the Planning Commission Ordinance Committee Page 20 of 67 ZA-26-03 TDM Exemptions for Affordable Housing CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE COMMITTEE 2026.03.06 Page 21 of 67 TDM and Affordable Housing Page 22 of 67 TDM and Affordable Housing • The Affordable Projects standards would apply to the CHT and Cathedral Square buildings at Cambrian Rise if not for the Waiver of Maximum Parking Limitations that was approved for the entirety of the Planned Unit Development in April 2022.

Winooski Ave. § Recently denied a permit for the proposed installation of 6-foot tall see-through fencing. § Concerned with trespassing on property. In narrative, applicant notes that: Proposed 6ft Fence § “A fence presents a somewhat visual barrier, even a see-through panel fence as is desired. People loitering in the area are also a real barrier to people trying to peacefully walk by on the sidewalk. It is desired that the fence to be installed match the neighboring fence to Proposed 4ft Fence* the south of the property. The effect of the neighboring six-foot fence appears to be that loitering there has largely stopped.” *Note: For this proposed fence to be permitted, the proposed 4 foot tall fence would need to conform to the 3’ height limit for roadway intersections.
