Council approves longtime-local demolition allotment for Anne Hodges at 302 Roaring Fork
Summary
The council granted a 2026 demolition allotment under the longtime-local provision to owner Anne Hodges (purchased 1972), after staff confirmed eligibility and members expressed concern about the demolition-allotment program's incentives and administrative burden.
Staff presented Resolution 68 (2025) seeking a 2026 demolition allotment under the long-time-local provision of the land use code for the property at 302 Roaring Fork Drive. Staff noted the owner met the minimum residency criterion (purchased in 1972) and provided deed and affidavit evidence; staff recommended council approval.
Council discussed the broader demolition-allotment program. Councilor Bill (speaker 4) and others criticized the program as administratively burdensome and said it may inadvertently incentivize demolitions; despite the critique, the council voted unanimously to approve the allotment for Anne Hodges. Council said staff will return with further review of program mechanics.
