Jefferson County staff proposes amending fee-waiver policy to support affordable housing applications
Summary
County staff told commissioners they will propose an amendment to county policy to waive certain planning and zoning fees for affordable housing projects after a request from DOLA; commissioners were briefed and told the item will return for formal action at a future hearing.
Jefferson County staff said on June 17 they plan to amend county policy to waive certain planning and zoning fees for affordable housing projects in response to a request from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA).
Chris O'Keefe, the county’s planning and zoning director, and county staff said the proposed change would implement a request from DOLA and was discussed as a follow-up to a presentation on waiving planning and zoning fees last week. Staff said they plan to draft an amendment to the policy and return the item for a formal hearing; commissioners were informed but did not take a vote at the briefing.
The discussion was presented as an informational follow-up; staff said a future hearing will include the specific policy language and any associated implementation details. No fiscal impact was presented at the June 17 briefing, and staff said they would bring a formal recommendation, including any fiscal implications, to a subsequent meeting.
