BILL

measure on a 4-3 vote, with all of the Democrats on the panel voting “yes” and all of the Republicans voting “no.” It was unclear whether the measure would have enough votes to advance and the committee hearing was delayed for hours while amendments were nalized and negotiated.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill, warned that more changes were needed. “By no means does the work stop here,” he said.

Heading into a committee hearing, Sen. Dylan Roberts, an Avon Democrat, appeared to be the swing vote is year’s tournament celebrates the legacy of Jon Mays, project manager of Jacobs’ water and wastewater services to Fort Lupton, who passed away last year. Jon enjoyed his role in the community and looked forward to planning this event every year.

Jacobs has operated and maintained Fort Lupton’s water and wastewater utility systems for 24 years, and has helped the City host the golf tournament nearly as long. e event has raised more than $90,000 for youth and recreation programs.

Sponsor and participant information

Fort Lupton and Jacobs invite all on the committee. He cast a reluctant “yes” vote. “I still have concerns with where the bill is,” he said, adding that there will be “a lot more to do” to get him to back the bill once it is debated on the Senate oor.

But two other Democrats on the committee — Sens. Julie Gonzales of Denver and Tony Exum of Colorado Springs — also expressed anxiety about the measure before voting to advance the legislation. e pair said more changes were needed.

“You will see more amendments coming,” Gonzales said.

An e ort by Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican on the committee to erase the measure and replace it with an alternative policy with no policy preemptions for local governments was rejected. “Senate bill 213, as it stands right now, … is never going to businesses, organizations, residents and surrounding communities to participate and sponsor the event. e premier golf event is a great opportunity to enjoy a day on the course with friends and colleagues, promote your brand to advance business and personal relationships, and raise money for a worthwhile cause.

Early registration is discounted through April 30, with individual players at $125 and foursomes at $425. On May 1, individual registration increases to $140 per player and $455 per team. Registration includes green fees, cart and lunch. Sponsorships are available at a variety of price points, and include bene ts get us to a ordable housing,” she said. “All it’s going to do is preempt local governments.” e bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee for approval before it can advance to the full Senate.

Under amendments, cities and towns would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to be built in a halfmile radius around rail stations and a quarter-mile around corridors with bus-rapid-transit or where a bus stops every 15 minutes.

If a municipality doesn’t want to allow building of two, three or four units next to certain transit stops they could opt to zone for that kind of housing in a di erent part of their city or town proportional to the area around a transit stop that would have been a ected. In doing so, however, the municipality would have to take steps to prevent like tee-box advertising, team registration, promotional opportunities and more. people living in those areas from being displaced and would be encouraged to focus the zoning around walkable areas.

At a minimum, Colorado’s largest cities would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in 30% of the areas that are currently zoned for single-family homes. e requirement would also apply to large cities that don’t have train stops or bus rapid transit and bus routes with 15-minute frequencies, though they would be encouraged to prioritize their placement of denser residential zoned areas near transit.

Additionally, the amendments remove a provision preventing cities from mandating that new duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes around train stations
