Engaging the Community: 2024 Priorities AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD COME TO A MEETING LEARNING RESOURCES Mayor City Hall 300 LaPorte Ave. PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.416.2154 970.224.6107 - fax fcgov.com March 14, 2024 Affordable Housing Board c/o Sue Beck-Ferkiss, Staff Liaison PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Chair Singleton and Board Members: On behalf of City Council, thank you for providing us with the memorandum dated March 7, 2024 regarding HB24-1007 and your desire to have City Council support passage of this legislation. Thank you for taking time to outline the rationale for the Board supporting this legislation to positively benefit the supply, affordability and/or accessibility of affordable housing in our community. Thank you for the expertise and perspectives that you bring to the Board and share with City Council. Best Regards, Jeni Arndt Mayor sek cc: City Council Members Kelly DiMartino, City Manager March 7,2024 From:Affordable Housing Board (AHB)Chair John Singleton To:City Council Re:HB24-1007 Per the Affordable Housing Boards’s (AHB)mission of advising the City Council on matters pertaining to affordable housing issues of concern to the City,we believe that HB24-1007 legislation,as currently written,positively benefits the supply,affordability,and/or accessibility of affordable housing in Fort Collins.We encourage City Council to actively support the passage of this legislation. In particular,we support HB24-1007 because: We recognize that U+2 has inequitable impacts on the residents of Fort Collins,and disproportionately burdens college students,young professionals,people who live with chosen rather than biological family,and others who are most in need of affordable housing. The bill’s language aligns with the AHB’s priority of improving housing availability and inventory while recognizing potential community concerns related to noise and safety. The bill as written allows the goals of an occupancy limit to be instead managed via existing health and safety standards,as well as the City’s expanded nuisance ordinances. We also believe that parking should not be considered in defining occupancy limits,in line with Council’s stated goal of creating and incentivizing walkable 15-minute cities,and in line with HB24-1304,currently in consideration in the State House,which would prohibit parking minimums. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, John Singleton Chair,Affordable Housing Board
