Although the state of Colorado is known for its beautiful natural spaces, it also has one of the most polluted Zip codes in the country. The majority Latino community of Commerce City, in northeast Denver, has dealt with the fallout from factories and pollution in their backyards and Victor Galván, an activist from the area, has made it his life’s work to advocate for change. “I helped build relationships between community organizations where we align on values and can do policy work together to move the narrative and solutions for Latino community,” Galván said of his previous
work as an activist. Galván joined the Denver Mayor’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency in January after more than a decade advocating for Latinos in the environmental movement. Awareness of the links between people’s everyday lives and the environment, he said, is necessary in places such as Commerce City where pollution deeply affects the health of the community. “We have seen in north Denver children who have bloody noses, have to go to the doctor more often for headaches and an increase in asthma in the population,” Galván said.. Within his new role, Galván said he hopes to bring in the voices of Latinos into affecting policy change. “Unfortunately, those who are changing the laws and policies are rich, white and are not seeing the same problems that we are exposed to,” Galván said. ”Every day people are working to pass policies that tackle these issues.
JULIO SANDOVAL, ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
But the moment that our voices are at the table, solutions are created without us in mind. And so some of those solutions, although they’re wellmeaning and in good spirit, there’s a part missing, and sometimes there’s actually negative ramifications and outcomes for our community, even though they’re trying to do good.” But he said that Latino communities already participate in climate justice, even if they don’t see it that way, by conserving water and polluting less. Galván said that people with lower incomes also typically have a lower impact on climate and on emissions. “The one thing that I would say for Latinos on climate justice and environmental justice that is so important to our future and in this work is that we have to internalize that we are environmental activists, that we are climate change activists, Because we are at the center of this issue our voice needs to be at the table. We are the people that can come up with the solutions,” he said.

Colorado has issued a $10.5 million penalty on the Suncor refinery in Commerce City over three years of air pollution violations, calling it the largestever action against a single facility, and also settled a suit resulting in a doubling of fenceline monitoring at the troubled fuel plant. The agreement surpasses a $9 million deal in 2020 for similar releases. Colorado director of public health Jill Hunsaker Ryan called it a “historic enforcement package” to “demonstrate our unwavering commitment to environmental protection and the health of our residents.” “We will continue to use every tool available to prevent Suncor from having future violations,” Hunsaker Ryan said. The $5 million in required plant improvements in the 2020 settlement have made a measurable difference in Suncor violations since then, and the new settlement requires $8 million more in plant changes, she said. The new $10.5 million settlement includes a $2.5 million cash fine, which will be split between environmental justice grants and the general fund. The violations lasted through June 2021. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment investigates Suncor violations on a two-year cycle, and is still probing air pollution releases from the past two and a half years, said Michael Ogletree, director of the department’s Air Pollution Control Division.

Brighton marijuana sales approved Council agrees to allow four retailers in Feb. 6 vote BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Brighton Mayor Greg Mills said he’s still not a fan of allowing marijuana sales in the city limits as his council colleges approved an ordinance on Feb. 6 allowing it. “Back when I was knocking on doors and running for my position, I heard from a lot of people who had reservations about allowing this to come into our community,” Mills
said. “And so, I feel I do need to speak up on behalf of them.” Councilors went on to cast a 7-2 approval, with Mills and Councilor Jan Pawlowski casting the dissenting votes. Mills noted that Brighton voters did turn back a ballot measure in 2021 that would have allowed sales and taxed them and that marijuana sales are down across the metro area. “So there is an indication of what our residents still feel,” Mills said. “You can determine that however you like, but I think it’s a declining industry. “I’ll be a no vote on this and I know
I’m probably a minority at this point, but I’ve said my piece,” he added. Four stores, outskirts
The ordinance allows four stores in Brighton and two of them would be reserved for so-called “social equity licensees.” Those are people who have lived in economically disadvantaged areas for 15 years or have been jailed for cannabis-related offenses. The stores will not be allowed in the downtown areas of Brighton or in specially zoned “Planned Development” or “Planned Urban Development” areas of the city such as the Prairie Center Shopping area or
other malls. The marijuana retailers will be restricted to the city’s C-2 and C-3 commercial zones and the I-1 light industrial zones. Those zones are generally approved for areas removed from most residential areas. The city council approved a version of the ordinance on first reading in October, but tabled the matter before November’s council election to allow new councilors to vote. The October version required stores to be at least 1,500 feet away from each other, but that was removed after City staff spoke with marijuana industry experts. SEE SALES, P7

Evidence Mounts That the Off-Site (aka Modular) Construction Industry Is Maturing
Every day I receive email newsletters about real estate, and one of my favorite is Construct Utopia, published by Pro Builder magazine. This week is not the first time I have written a column based on or inspired by an article in that newsletter. A common subject these days is modular or “off-site” construction. The latest Construct Utopia newsletter has an article about Cuby Technologies, a startup which devised a solution for customizable mass-produced prefab homes — mobile micro factories. Instead of constructing big factories that ship new home modules, Cuby produces micro factories that are set up near the construction site, such as in a field or on a rented parking lot. Modular construction is typically off site, but bringing the factory to or near the worksite is an interesting twist — perhaps call it “on-site (or close-by) offsite construction.” But the factory could also serve other build sites, functioning as a traditional off-site modular factory but one that is much closer. The micro-factory is shipped in about 10 containers, and it is set up inside an inflatable tent that covers 30,000 to 40,000 square feet of interior space for creating the modules to be assembled on a nearby construction site. The idea is to eliminate one of the major costs of modular construction, which is shipping the modules great distances to the work site. I’ve been a fan of the idea of modular construction ever since I purchased what I thought was a stick-built home in the Mesa Meadows subdivision in north Golden. I bought the home in 1997. After moving in, a neighbor told me he had watched my home go up in one day, delivered from Ft. Morgan on flatbed trailers for installation on a prepared foundation. The interior work was then completed by Pat Foss, a local builder.
The advantages of building the home in a factory, I was told at the time, was better quality control, including better insulation. The exterior walls were all built with 2x6 instead of 2x4 studs, to better survive flatbed transportation from Ft. Morgan. At right is an artist’s rendering of one of Cuby’s micro factories. It reminds me of how Elon Musk built a tent for assembling the Model 3 next to the Fremont factory rather than wait for a brick-and-mortar building to be permitted and built. Neighbors of construction sites would probably appreciate having the construction of a new building or subdivision taking place largely indoors, even if it is just a tent, reducing the noise and dust of on-site construction. Construction in a tent has other advantages including protection from the elements, whether it be rain or snow or simply cold weather. Productivity would be greatly enhanced. Workers will appreciate working a predictable number of days and hours as well as being warm during the winter months. Making working conditions better could also address one of the biggest problems facing the home construction industry: attracting and hiring enough workers. By completing the major structural panels indoors, the subsequent on-site finishing work can be made more attractive thanks to being able to “weather in” the building quickly. This too improves working conditions and recruitment. “Inside the dome,” according to the company, “machines and conveyor belts produce and prep all the elements of the home—windows, wall panels, plumbing pipes, drywall, HVAC systems, and so on—then package them into kits.” The enclosed environment also contributes to less waste and better waste management and recycling.
This Column Is 20 Years Old — See What You Missed
Have you enjoyed reading this column? I have been writing this column for nearly two decades, but only started paying for it to appear in this newspaper last April. At www.JimSmithColumns.com you can find links to more than a decade of “Real Estate Today” columns that you may find applicable to your own real estate journey. At right is a glimpse of what that catalog of previous columns looks like, showing just a few of the columns that predated my contract with this newspaper.
Cuby is a startup that began in Belarus. Cofounder Aleksandr Gampel says the first micro factory is being delivered to Detroit shortly. Within the next decade he expects to produce 275 micro factories that will build 200,000 homes and create 300,000 jobs, removing approximately 750,000 tons of waste from the construction process.
Although Cuby promotes its micro factories for home building, it’s not a home builder. It sells the micro factories for $10 –15 million. Their customers are typically developers, builders, general contractors and private equity groups, whose customers might be midsize home builders. Cuby claims that it can lower the cost of new construction from $150 per square foot to $100 per square foot.
This & That: Smaller Topics Not Worth Full Articles Renewable Energy Is Being Banned in More and More U.S. Counties
This is according to a Feb. 4 article on USA Today’s website. Here’s an excerpt: “In the past decade, about 180 counties got their first commercial wind-power projects. But in the same period, more than twice as many blocked wind development. And while solar power has found more broad acceptance, 2023 was the first year to see almost as many individual counties block new solar projects as the ones adding their first projects. “The result: Some of the areas with the nation's best sources of wind and solar power have now been boxed out.” I have a link to the full USA Today article at http://RealEstateToday.Substack.com.
Beware of Scammers Pretending to Be Alerting You to a Scam
Fox 31 reported last week about a Golden couple that was scammed out of more than $137,000. The scam began with a phone call from the “Chase fraud department.” It is so important to question every phone call, text message or email you receive. If that Golden resident had thanked the caller, but hung up
and then called Chase’s customer service number to see if there was a fraud alert on his account, he could have avoided being the victim of that scam. I have posted a link to that story on my Substack blog.
NAR Is Criticized by Its Own Members for Donating to Anti-LBGTQ+ Candidates
The political action committee of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is one of the biggest donors to political candidates and incumbents who are considered, based on Realtor interviews, to be “prohousing.” A collection of diverse NAR members calling themselves the Real Estate Alliance is now challenging donations by local and national Realtor associations to candidates who push laws which violate Fair Housing. For example, the Florida association donated $200,000 to Gov. Ron DeSantis, despite his well-known anti-LGBTQ+ policies such as the “Don’t Say Gay” law. Here in Colorado, the Realtor association has donated to three candidates who sponsored an anti-trans bill. On my Substack blog, you can learn more about the Real Estate Alliance’s program.

Gordon Allan Jones
September 27, 1954 - January 25, 2024
Gordon Jones, 69, of Fort Lupton, CO, unexpectedly passed away on Thursday, January 25, 2024 from complications of a second type of cancer he developed after first successfully beating cancer. Gordon was born on September 27, 1954 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver, CO to Dudley and Mary. He graduated from Johnson High School in 1972 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Throughout his early years, he lived in several states, before finally settling back in Colorado, where he met his wife, Keta Lockhart. Gordon and Keta were married for 41 years, and were blessed with four children, Amanda, Andrew, Jeremy and Katasha. He had a love for learning new things and solving problems. This led him to various jobs over the years, but his true passion was driving trucks, which he learned to drive from his father-in-law to be. His love of motorcycles, motors, cars and mechanics was formed in his High School years. With his mechanical and problem solving ability, he designed and built his own winch trucks and launched his own business, Jones Transportation, Inc., which
he operated for 23 years. Gordon was able to do things in a semi that would make most people marvel. Gordon had a passion for food, and as an accomplished cook he enjoyed sharing his culinary talents with family and friends. He loved being around people, and made friends everywhere he went. His positive outlook was a driving force in his life, and he had the ability to see the needs of others and formulate a plan of action. He will be remembered by many for his countless acts of kindness. A major cornerstone in Gordon’s life was his decision to serve God. His faith, commitment and service to the Lord was an encouragement to family and friends. Gordon is preceded in death by his parents, Dudley Jones and Mary Gelhaye; and mother-in-law, Betty Lockhart. He is survived by his wife, Keta; children Amanda, Andrew, Jeremy, and Katasha (Cody); sisters, Bea Klemmensen (Matt), and Jamie Mitchell (Andy); father-in-law Melvin Lockhart; brothers-in-law and sistersin-law Greg Lockhart (Pat), Kent Lockhart, Tracy Lockhart (Julie), Kelle Hart (John), and Debbie Deshazer; numerous nieces and nephews.

With Canada-based Suncor reporting $2 billion in profits from the third quarter of 2023 alone, “it’s a really good question” whether a $2.5 million fine is enough to change Suncor’s behavior, Hunsaker Ryan said. “What I would say is, we are limited in the penalties that we can assess by law,” she said. It’s also important for the state to protect the community by reaching a reasonable settlement “that’s not going to drag out a long time, but get some meaningful action,” she said. The settlement is not part of Suncor’s application for a renewed air pollution permit for part of the sprawling Commerce City refinery, which is still pending revisions at the state health department. State officials said the violations from July 2019 through June 2021 often involved power disruptions. Violations cited include: - Exceeding EPA and state emissions limits on sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. - Exceeding hydrogen sulfide concentration caps. - Exceeding opacity and visible emissions standards. - Violations from causes other than power outages. Suncor, the only vehicle and airplane fuel refinery in Colorado and one of the few in the West, has long been a target for environmental and community groups, as well as state regulators, for both local pollution violations and greenhouse gas emissions. Suncor has responded that it has made continual improvements to both refining and monitoring equipment to better protect the community, and that the plant is an important economic engine for the neighborhood and Colorado. A fire at the refinery in December 2022 disrupted operations for months, and may have contributed to an increase in fuel prices for Colorado drivers. Some environmental advocates have called for an outright denial of future permits for Suncor and a closure of the refinery, but state officials have never endorsed those calls. The latest settlement also include a deal for more intensive fenceline monitoring and community alerts about air pollution releases in Commerce City. A 2021 state law required Suncor and three other large facilities to implement fenceline monitoring of certain toxins and sharing data with the public. Suncor had sued the state in 2022 over how Colorado was applying monitoring regulations to the refinery. The deal will have Suncor doubling the number of monitors from its latest proposal to the state, officials said. Suncor will also expand the number of toxins monitored from the minimum list in the 2021 law. Colorado had required covered facilities to monitor and alert for hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide and benzene. Suncor has agreed to also monitor toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes, state officials said. Suncor will also alert the public sooner than previously required when certain pollution thresholds are crossed, Ogletree said. For some compounds, alerts were triggered when releases hit the EPA’s more stringent one-hour thresholds for certain toxins. By the end of 2024, when the monitoring equipment is fully in place, those compounds will trigger alerts after reaching the lower four-hour thresholds. This story was printed through a news sharing agreement with The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonprofit based in Denver that covers the state.

Plan protects future oil leasing on Colorado lands BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE
The Bureau of Land Management has released its final Eastern Colorado Resource Management Plan, which will guide the use and management of over 658,000 acres of public lands for decades to come. Conservation geographer Alison Gallensky with Rocky Mountain Wild said the plan does a good job of increasing protections for some 300,000 currently undeveloped acres, mostly along the Arkansas River between Salida and Canon City. “By setting aside several hundred
thousand acres,” said Gallensky, “to stay the way they are now, for wildlife, for the headwaters for the different tributaries into the Arkansas River.” In addition to protecting areas for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and hunting - which bring over $54 million into local economies - Gallensky said these lands support healthy ecosystems that can help species survive in a changing climate. Some environmental groups criticized the BLM’s plan for keeping most acres open to oil and gas leasing, but the Western Energy Alliance defended the agency for balancing development with conservation.

The plan paves the way for future oil and gas production on BLM-managed lands in northeastern Colorado, where current production has been linked to a rise in harmful ground-level ozone pollution and the state’s failure to meet Environmental Protection Agency clean air standards. Gallensky said the plan, which has been in the works for nearly a decade, includes old analysis on the true risks of drilling. “There’s been a lot of new information learned about the impacts of oil and gas development and how to transition to cleaner forms of energy,” said Gallensky. “And that wasn’t as well integrated into the plan as it
could have been.” The plan takes thousands of acres off the table for drilling, but those acres are considered to have very low potential for tapping oil and gas. Advocates say they will ask the Colorado BLM to address the threats of continued fossil fuel development, the primary driver of climate change, by strengthening their Big Game Resource Management Plan Amendment, which is currently accepting public comments. Support for this reporting was provided by The Pew Charitable Trusts. This story runs via The Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media is a member.

The October version also allowed the stores to be open 12 hours daily, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The final version approved matches the state hours, saying the stores can be open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily. Would-be retailers would need to have their plans reviewed and approved by a city licensing authority, likely the city’s current Alcohol licensing board.

But he supported the new ordinance. “If we were voting to keep marijuana out of our community, I would vote to do that. But we are not. Marijuana is already in our community,” Snyder said. He said he’d rather have regulated, taxed marijuana sales in Brighton that can be controlled rather than black market sales. “People that sell it on the black market can mix it with stuff, like fentanyl or oxy or cocaine or they put speed in it,” he said. “I would rather have people buying a known product that is wellregulated so that it is safer for them.” Councilor Matt Johnston, who has been an advocate for Brighton retail
sales, said he understood Mills’ misgivings. “We’ve been on different sides of this, I know, and we’ve gone through eight years to this point, and I think we can actually get this done,” Johnston said. He did have suggestions, however. The ordinance originally required applicants to take 90 days to complete their application, but Johnston suggested reducing that time to 60 days. He noted that potential retailers need to be paying rent before they can apply for a license and 90 days created a financial burden for them. “Instead of just getting a license, they have to demonstrate they have a location set,” Johnston said. “So some folks are going to have to get a location and pay rent but they won’t even know if they’ll get the license for 90
days. The more we can limit that, the more we can help everyone.” Councilors agreed and changed the license application period to 60 days. Johnston said he’d also wanted to make the “social equity” licenses a sliding scale. The ordinance currently requires two of the four licenses be reserved for local residents. “But what happens if we have six stores, but only two social equity licenses?” Johnston said. “I would like to keep the requirement that half the licenses are social equity licenses, no matter how many licenses are allowed.” Councilors did not make that an amendment however, and City Manager Michael Martinez said the city would address it if councilors ever agreed to increase the number of licenses.
