Colorado House aims to restore power to land use bill after amendments made in Senate. COPolitics
DENVER — The Land Use Bill is a big piece of legislation this session, as it targets affordable housing in Colorado in a number of ways.
Amendments related to reinstating Accessory Dwelling Units and density development near key corridors and transit passed as part of the bill on Tuesday. Representative Rose Pugliese, R-El Paso County, said the bill does not address the issues that are stressing the housing market in Colorado. “Part of the problem with things like ADUs by right...—those without any serious affordability measures, which none of these bills contemplate, do nothing but create more vacation rental homes. That's all that would have done to us. So, you're not helping the problem, you're exacerbating the problem," said Mamula. “We just don't have any room for more density. We're infrastructure poor. We're not the Front Range.
