Trustees include expedited review policy for affordable housing (Prop 123) in packet
Summary
Resolution 06-2026 would create a formal 90-calendar-day expedited review process for qualifying affordable-housing projects under Colorado Proposition 123 and related C.R.S. provisions; it remains a policy proposal in the June packet.
The June packet contains Resolution 06-2026 that would establish an expedited review policy for affordable housing projects in Silver Cliff consistent with Colorado Proposition 123 and the cited state statutes (C.R.S. 29-32-101 and 29-32-105).
Under the draft policy, any complete application for an eligible affordable-housing development (including site plan, development plan, conditional-use permit, building permit, special-use permit, variance/waiver or administrative modification) would be placed on the next available Planning Commission or Board of Trustees agenda once required public notice is posted and a decision is intended within 90 calendar days of a complete application. The resolution lists allowable extensions (developer request, state- or court-required compliance, or other governmental review required) and provides for narrow extensions to accommodate additional information requested by the town.
The resolution also clarifies that a developer may opt out of the fast-track review and that staff will advise applicants about the availability of the policy. The packet cites the relevant C.R.S. provisions but the resolution page is formatted with blanks for the formal adoption date and signature lines, indicating the policy had not been adopted in the pages provided.
Next steps: the board must consider formal adoption; any application relying on the fast-track policy would still need to meet completeness and applicable local standards.
