Density next door is much more tolerable if it’s not right on the lot line or built immediately up to the public right of way.
Denver Urban Land Conservancy joined the development, government, residents, and community partners to celebrate the grand opening of Viña, a 150-unit affordable housing development at 48th and Vine St. in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.only makes sense if the benefit to existing Colorado residents of increasing density in these neighborhoods is greater than the harm.
The bill also includes $35 million of general fund money every year to create a grant program for cities and counties to compete for funding for infrastructure improvements in the impacted neighborhoods. Some of that development will involve demolishing older, affordable, existing units. Lawmakers should include a requirement that in transit-oriented communities forced to upzone, developers replace any demolished units 1-1 in their new build with units that are the same price-per-square foot as those torn down. Replacement units should not count toward meeting requirements for affordability tax credits either state or local.Hundreds of RTD riders report illegal activities in elevators.
Many Coloradans wish their neighborhood was more walkable and handicap accessible — with built-out sidewalks, landscaping, and safe road crossings. And everyone wishes they had more nearby services like grocery stores, local restaurants, independent small businesses, and the jobs all three of those bring.
For example, in this bill it will be local elected officials deciding exactly where and how the up-zoning would occur. Cities can exempt some areas from the 15-unit-per-acre minimum, if there are other areas that can shoulder more density to still meet the 40-unit-per-acre average. That is an improvement.
