Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Potential negative impacts of proposed modifications in the river corridor/wetland area.
• Lack of conditional considerations in the proposed PUD changes.
• Inadequate consideration of key areas of concern (traffic impact analysis, cost estimates, environmental impacts).
• Weakening of enforcing protection for the natural environment.
• Potential for increased noise pollution and disturbance to wildlife.
• Risk of flooding and difficulty in evacuating tiny homes.
• Inadequate wildlife assessment (limited to property boundary).
• Lack of detail on environmental impacts and mitigation strategies.

Mitigation Strategies

• Recommend limiting primitive camping to 90 days per year with conditions (robust wildlife plan, avoidance of avian nesting periods, prohibition of drones and open campfires, visible signage, and enforcement).
• Recommend robust drainage plan for any additional hardscape, DarkSky™ and/or LEED approved lighting, LEED certified construction materials from sustainable and local sources, and sustainable construction methods and BMPs.
• Recommend against amplified music, suggesting a trial period with conditional usage.
• Recommend against adding 10 tiny homes until flood evacuation plan is addressed (consultation with Lyons Fire Department and Sheriff’s Department).
• Recommend prohibiting amplified sound, updating the noise ordinance, and providing specific details in the proposed text.
• Recommend prohibiting campfires and using gas fire pits.
• Recommend addressing enforcement and penalties, providing direct contact for complaints.
• Recommend a robust traffic impact analysis.
• Recommend LEED design and DarkSky™ approved outdoor lighting.
• Recommend mitigating impermeable surfaces and runoff with rain gardens, bioswales, and runoff holding areas.
• Recommend a test of moving tiny homes in a crisis and a detailed emergency evacuation plan.
• Recommend a rigorous review of the project’s impacts on wildlife in adjacent areas.
