The proposed amendments include carveouts for resort areas and a significant cut to the bill’s initial plan to allow middle housing — like duplexes — to be built on any single-family plot in Colorado cities. To address concerns from affordable housing advocates, another amendment would also better spell out what steps local governments must take to counteract displacement and gentrification.
One of the most significant amendments, provided to The Denver Post on Tuesday, would limit the type of middle-housing development that previously was broadly encouraged under the bill. Instead of allowing for sixplexes to be built on single-family lots, the amendment would allow up to quadplexes. Resorts could, then, choose to build more ADUs or middle-housing — provisions that larger, urban cities would be required to do under the bill. But resort communities could also choose to forgo them in favor of other options on the list. Those options include cutting development fees; establishing a local revenue source for developing affordable housing; or reducing or eliminating parking requirements.
