Public Comment

The meeting begins with public comment. If you want to address Council, you will have three minutes to speak. Any public comments received by email before 3PM will be posted in the meeting packet after 3 (so check back then!).

Items on the Consent Agenda are considered non-controversial, not needing discussion. All items in this section will be approved with a single vote.

Any councilor wishing to discuss a consent issue can request that it be removed from the consent agenda and discussed and voted on separately.

These are the items on tonight's Consent Agenda:

Assigning Golden's bonding capacity to Wheat Ridge and the Foothills Regional Housing Authority, to help them build a housing project for households earning less, on average, than 60% of the area median income. Learn more.
Agreeing to accept $3.15 million from the CoorsTek/Clayworks development in lieu of their commitment to build workforce housing on site. The developers' original plan offered to provide on-site workforce housing at the rate of 1 unit for every 9 housing units built. This was outlined on p. 74 of the Development Plan they submitted in February of 2022.

Planning staff suggested that, rather than build it themselves onsite, they provide money to the City for the workforce housing to be built elsewhere; the Planning Director suggested West Colfax or along the RTD bus line.

This agreement will free CoorsTek/Clayworks of obligation to include workforce housing in their new development and it will provide funding for the City to build or buy such housing in other neighborhoods. Learn more.
