Stock show steers toward finish

BY ADRIAN D. GARCIA AGARCIA@DENVERITE.COM

The National Western Stock Show came out the gate this year running.

The 16-day Western celebration started out with record-breaking weekend attendance Jan. 6 and 7. The stock show brought out 103,546 during its first two days, according to

event organizers.

The attendance record was a 6.6 percent increase from the previous high — 97,099 guests in 2016. Both the Saturday and Sunday single-day attendance records were the largest in show history.

The stock show will continue through Jan. 21.

Last year, 684,580 attended the show,

which was down slightly, or by 2,165 guests, from 2016. The show has a more than $100 million economic impact on Denver, according to the Western Stock Show’s 2017 annual report.

Next month, the Denver City Council may make a decision that could bring some of the most intense development of River North up to its borders with neighboring communities.

The latest plans envision buildings rising to 16 floors around the intersection of 38th Avenue and Blake Street. It would become one of the densest clusters to develop outside of downtown Denver. To sweeten the deal, the city could institute brand new rules about affordability and community amenities.

“I think we’re in the third inning.

We’re a third of the way there,” said Andrew Feinstein, a developer with various interests in the area.

“I think what we’ll see is site after site located around 38th and Blake transition from warehouse uses to vertical development over the next three to five years.”

It could be comparable in scale to the plans in the works for areas like the Gates Rubber Site and 41st and Fox. “We’ve spent over a billion dollars on the A Line, and that is the one location … that hasn’t really been thought out well — from design, from density, and inclusion,” said Council President Albus Brooks.

“And so, we really wanted to have a conversation with the community.”

Misconduct claims cloud opening of legislative session Other issues before lawmakers get little attention amid allegations CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

BY JAMES ANDERSON AND COLLEEN SLEVIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado lawmakers started their new legislative session amid tension over unresolved sexual misconduct allegations against some of their colleagues, including one case in which a female lawmaker maintains she felt threatened after rejecting the sexual advances of a fellow Democratic lawmaker.

In the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, many Democrats, especially women, wore black — as many actors did at last week’s Golden Globe Awards — to show support for Rep. Faith Winter, who filed a formal complaint against Rep. Steve Lebsock in November. While lawmakers often bring their children to join them for the first day of the session, on Jan. 10, Winter invited two other women who have accused Lebsock of harassment to join her in the House.

Outside the Capitol, about a dozen protesters greeted arriving lawmakers, lobbyists and aides — holding signs with slogans like “Time’s Up! Step Down Steve.”

Lebsock, who denies the allegations and is running for state treasurer, was present — two days after providing his colleagues copies of a 28-page document defending himself.

He stoically answered “Here” during roll call. And he stood briefly, then sat back down again, as fellow Democrats gave rousing applause as House Speaker Crisanta Duran declared, “there is no place for harassment, hate speech or discrimination in

this chamber.”

The session began under a cloud of tension after harassment complaints were filed last fall against Lebsock, Democratic Rep. Paul Rosenthal and an undisclosed number of other lawmakers. Leaders of both chambers are formally reviewing the Legislature’s workplace harassment policy — as have several statehouses across the country.

In the Republican-controlled Senate, President Kevin Grantham called for “creating a welcoming and respectful workplace environment” and declared that “I don’t think anybody here is of the belief that the status quo is working, or that action shouldn’t be taken.”

The issue virtually overshadowed other priorities laid out Jan. 10 by Colorado legislative leaders for the 2018 session, including funding roads and schools, addressing the opioid crisis and tackling a superheated housing market that has limited affordable housing options for many state residents.

Winter alleges that Lebsock acted aggressively toward her when she turned down his sexual advances during an end-of-session party in 2016.

She said he grabbed her elbow and that she felt threatened.

Duran, also a Democrat, removed Lebsock from a committee chairmanship and called on him to resign after Winter filed her complaint. Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, and others called on Lebsock to step down. Meanwhile, Democratic state Rep. Matt Gray has said he plans to introduce a resolution to force Lebsock to give up his position.

In response to that possibility, Lebsock placed his document rebutting the allegations in the mailboxes of all state representatives on Monday.

RTD customers perceive the overall quality of RTD services to be very high, according to the results of the district’s latest customer satisfaction survey. The average rating of the overall quality of RTD services was higher than 4 on a scale in which 1 indicated “poor” and 5 indicated “excellent.”

“It is wonderful to know our passengers are extremely happy with our services, will continue to use them and will recommend it to others,” RTD General Manager and CEO Dave Genova said in a recent news release.

RTD commissioned BBC Research & Consulting to conduct the survey in spring 2017.

Given every three years, the survey addressed the use of various RTD services; payment options and use of discounts; trip and passenger characteristics; travel to and from RTD stops

MISCONDUCT FROM PAGE 2

He said House leaders told him on Dec. 14 to not release the confidential complaint Winter filed against him even though his accusers have been allowed to talk publicly. He also said that investigators still have not contacted him.

Lebsock said he has heard that a small number of Democrats and others began a “whisper campaign” to discredit him and hurt his candidacy for state treasurer. He also insinuated the party was lining up behind Winter in her bid to win a state Senate seat this November that could challenge the narrow Republican majority in that chamber.

Previously, Lebsock released the results of polygraph tests he said proves that he is telling the truth. Without admitting misconduct, he also apologized to Winter and two other women who allege harassment, former lobbyist Holly Tarry and former legislative aide Cassie Tanner, for causing them pain.

The national sexual misconduct scandal was unfolding when a number of complaints were filed at Colorado’s

and stations; and satisfaction with RTD services. Both paper-and-pencil and online formats were available.

Highlights of the survey include: • RTD passengers rate the quality of all aspects of RTD service as very high, with mean ratings between 4.0 and 4.5 out of 5.

• The mean rating of the value passengers received from the fares they paid was 4.2 out of 5.

• Passengers are very likely to choose RTD again (mean rating of 4.7), and recommend it to others (4.5 rating).

• The average quality ratings for bus service (4.17), train service (4.34) and overall services (4.22) exceeded 4.0.

statehouse following reports on the Lebsock allegations by Rocky Mountain Community Radio.

State lawmakers are barred under their own rules from discussing even the existence of a complaint under current state legislative procedures.

A harassment complaint against Democratic Rep. Paul Rosenthal was dismissed on Jan. 4. Rosenthal had been accused of harassment by a political activist in 2012. The complaint was dismissed apparently because the alleged incident happened before Rosenthal was elected to his post.

In her opening speech, Duran said a Capitol culture that allows workplace harassment must change.

“Let our actions show that the intolerable will be tolerated no more,” she said.

Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville said he welcomed reforms to workplace harassment policy but also insisted that those accused must be provided due process, echoing calls from other GOP leaders.

“I perfectly understand and share a sense of outrage when we hear stories of bad behavior,” he said. “But when accusations appear where the law is made, we must observe due process so that we fairly and objectively handle complaints and workplace issues.”

VOICES If we’re lucky, we’ll evolve until we’re as good as dogs

S

hould anyone who impersonates an impersonator be allowed to vote? There’s QUIET a impressionist in Branson who imper- DESPERATION sonates Rich Little.

Should anyone who can’t remember when to put their trash out be allowed to vote?

Should anyone who says he is “like, really smart” be allowed to vote?

Craig Marshall On the other hand, Smith should anyone who adopts a special-needs dog be allowed to vote twice?

I think so.

How are your heartstrings today?

There’s an Aurora dog named Rex. He gets his name from T. Rex, because a congenital deformity stopped his front legs from growing below the joint.

He has always walked on his hind legs.

You may have seen dogs do that on Letterman, but they were performing.

Rex does it all of the time, and, “He has no idea he’s different,” his new foster dad said.

There are other dogs just like Rex. You can find touching videos of them on YouTube.

By now, many of you know how I feel about dogs. Versus people.

Dogs don’t have it in for you if your religion or race or lifestyle preferences are different than theirs.

War isn’t one of their growth industries.

Physically, they are indomitable, and are capable of remarkable tolerances and recoveries.

Dogs like Rex are often unwanted and discarded.

Rex’s new owner, and those involved in his future, have thought about it very differently.

The Denver Post reported that Rex was crowdfunded a unique cart to improve his quality of life.

“Eddie’s Wheels for Pets spent four weeks engineering a special cart for Rex to act as his front legs and im-

prove his mobility.”

Eddie’s Wheels for Pets should be allowed to vote twice too.

Rex was dropped off at an animal shelter because his first family couldn’t give Rex the care and attention he needed.

Along came Cameron Schumacher.

I’d like to meet Schumacher, and I’d like to meet Rex. Cameron and Rex are uplifting antidotes to the rest of the news, and the rest of the newsmakers (see: “I’m, like, really smart”).

Animal shelter chief veterinarian Dr. Louisa Poon thinks Rex will be a candidate for surgically implanted prosthetics, which cost $1,000 to $1,500 per leg, once Rex’s “growth plates” are fully developed.

I am considering another dog.

The house and my life are too empty without one. I have looked at healthy puppies that come with every conceivable piece of information about their mothers and fathers, the climate of the kennel where they were bred, and what their favorite bedtime stories are.

Then there are the other kind, like Rex, who haven’t had it so good.

A dog’s personality is created in its first 16 weeks. They benefit from conscientious owners, and they are adversely affected if their owners aren’t committed to them during that time.

However, there are many stories about abandoned and neglected dogs who are rescued and adopted, and turn into joyful “critters,” as my neighbor Sue calls them.

She and her husband adopted Taz. Taz gets her name from the Tasmanian devil, because she was a wild child.

She not very good-looking, but she’s beautiful.

She’s a perfect reflection of her owners.

Schumacher already had two dogs.

They were a little spooked by Rex at first, because of his differences.

Now they love him.

See what I mean about dogs?

was talking with a husband and wife a few years ago. They were from Kansas and for years came to Colorado every winter for a ski vacation. As they drove WINNING in from I-70 heading WORDS west, they would always stop as soon as they saw the Colorado Rockies in the distance. They would pull over on the side of the road and stare at the mountains, they would visualize themselves living in those mountains one Michael Norton day, and they would take a picture and keep that picture on their refrigerator at home as a constant reminder of their goal.

They shared with me that 10 years ago, that dream became a reality, as they moved to Colorado full time.

There has been so much written about the power of visualization and so many shared and great success stories of people who have used visual techniques to not only meet

their goals and objectives, but in many cases, they have far exceeded even their own expectations.

So how do we use and harness the power of visualization to set and achieve goals? Well, the very first step in goal setting is to define our goals.

Not just keeping them in our head, but actually investing the time to write them down. Whether we do this using technology or on a pad of paper or in a planner, we are creating our first set of something visual that will not only be captured on paper or in our technology, we are taking the first step towards imprinting it in our minds as we review our lists.

One of my favorite things to participate in is a vision boarding session.

Either in a group setting as a participant or as a facilitator or simply at home as we plan out our goals and dreams. I am sure many of you are at least aware of this technique, and many of you have already probably created your vision board for 2018. If not, it is a fun and extremely valuable exercise.

A vision board, or even a vision wall, is created by using graphic im-

ages of our goals and dreams. The things we want to achieve, acquire, be, do, or have in life. And then pinning or attaching those pictures and images to our board or wall. In some cases, as we build family vision boards, it will include images or pictures of what our children hope to do or become, or maybe where they want to go to college.

I have seen some great vision boards in my life, and I am thoroughly impressed when I speak with someone about their vision board and ask about the “why” behind each picture or image. Sailboats, Hawaiian sunsets, a map of Italy, an image of a bedand-breakfast sign from people who wanted to buy an inn, a trail map of Vail, Beaver Creek, or other ski areas, a picture of a university campus, a postcard of an African safari, a graduation cap and gown, a second home, the logo of a company they want to work for one day or a customer that they want to sell to, and even images of some kind of currency and in some cases actual dollar bills tacked to the wall.

These can be so much fun to put

together, but more importantly a powerful and very visual reminder of what we are doing, why we are doing it, and where we want to go in this life.

If you have never built one, send me an email and I am happy to talk you through it.

In addition to a vision board, here is another visual idea that may help you. I find that it really helps me. I keep a notebook with me at all times.

For me, I can write faster than I type, and when I am speaking with others it is just more personal to be taking notes in this way than trying to capture notes on any of my devices. I also write out my to-do list each day so that I have it right in front of me as a visual aid to keep me on task.

Last year I started writing words at the top of each page in my notebook as I create my to-do list. It serves as a constant and consistent reminder of things I am working on in my own life. I write down five things at the top of the page; 1. Seek God first. 2. Say “No” so that I can say “Yes.” 3. Stop trading time for money. 4. No “FOMO”

Harmony Chorale tips hat to organizer of March on Washington R&B artist Hazel Miller joins chorale for February shows

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nine out of 10 people on the street don’t know who Bayard Rustin is.

But Cincinnati Men’s Chorus Artistic Director Steve Milloy is out to change that.

Milloy composed and arranged an original choral piece, “Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream,” and musical groups throughout the country are starting to perform it.

“The piece discusses an unknown fact in our history of this wonderful man, Bayard Rustin,” Milloy said.

“He was a peace activist, civil rights activist and an unabashedly openly gay man at a time when that was not exactly looked on as something righteous to do.”

Rustin is mostly know for organizing the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.

“But if it wasn’t for Bayard Rustin, there wouldn’t be Martin Luther King as we know him,” Milloy said. “It was Bayard Rustin who went and studied non-violent resistance and taught those things to King. And that’s when the civil right movement really took off.”

Milloy, who has been singing in LGBTQ choruses for 30 years, was inspired to write the Rustin piece because he was yet to come across one about an African-American.

“I was wondering: When am I going to sing something about somebody who looks like me?” said Milloy. “So I thought it was time to put something out there about a man who was not just important to the gay, LGBTQ movement, but to the civil rights movement as a whole.”

Music in the piece runs the gamut from 19th-century hymnody to ragtime, pop ballads and anthems, jazz, concertized spirituals, chain gang songs and even rap.

After hearing about the “The Man Behind the Dream,” Bill Loper, artistic director for Harmony of Colorado Chorael, thought it was perfect for his choir.

“The story of Bayard Rustin, such a powerful figure in American history who was really shunned because he was an openly gay man ... it’s a story that just needs to be told,” Loper said.

“You can go down the street and ask anybody, ‘Do you know who Bayard Rustin was,’ and nine people out of 10 will say no.”

Loper has been doing that while he’s been handing out fliers promoting Harmony’s performance of Milloy’s “Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream.”

Harmony is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and straight ally chorus that was founded in 1991. The 70-member choir pulls members from the Denver metro area and northern Colorado.

Hazel Miller and Mark Boykins reherse their storytelling roles for the upcoming production of “Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream.”

Half of the choir rehearses at Arvada High School.

Last May Harmony performed a piece called, “Tyler’s Suite,” about a young man, Tyler Clemente, who died by suicide after being cyber-bullied.

The community reaction from those performances is what led Loper to the Bayard Rustin piece.

“What ‘Tyler’s Suite’ really brought for me as artistic director was when we do things that are more missionbased, that have a purpose and that give us a reason to be, the possibilities are limitless,” Loper said. “The Bayard Rustin piece is hands down the best thing we’ve ever done. I am so proud to be a part of it. It’s reaching people, it’s telling a story and it’s informing people.

“And its going to be very entertaining.”

The Harmony Chorale will be joined by Arvada resident and awardwinning R&B singer Hazel Miller and her band. Miller will act as a narrator and a soloist in the Colorado performances.

“The music in this is moving, it’s inspirational,” Miller said. “The information given is priceless and I’m very proud to be part of this.”

Miller loves the music so much that she has decided to learn all the music and sing alto with the choir throughout the whole performance.

Mark Boykins, currently the Director of Music at the Peoples Presbyterian Church, will join Miller as a storyteller.

The performance will be rounded out by 55 young voices from the Ar-

vada High School Chorale. This makes WHO IS BAYARD RUSTIN? the age-range of voices span 70 years.

Bayard Rustin was a Quaker, conscientious objector, openly gay, civil rights activist and the organizer of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 March on Washington and co-organizer of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

An organizer of the first Freedom Rides protesting racial segregation in the south, Rustin was arrested for sitting in the whites only section of a bus 12 years before Rosa Parks made headlines.

He was sentenced to work on a chain gang.

Upon his release, Rustin’s five-part series for the New York Post titled “22 days on a chain gang” described the brutal details of his imprisonment and ultimately led to the abolition of the chain gang in North Carolina.

In 2013, President Barack Obama bestowed Rustin a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“I’m flattered and thrilled that he invited us” said John Miller, choir director and teacher at Arvada High School. “Educationally, there’s layers and layers of things they’re going to get from this. To see a program like this with a living composer that can come in and meet with them ... that almost never happens. It’s very inspiring.”

The dynamics that Steve Milloy brings to rehearsal are something that Arvada High senior Haley Stimack appreciates.

“I feel a lot of the message when Mr. Milloy is conducted us,” Stimack said.

“You can feel how passionate he is about it.”

Milloy said not only is his piece musical and informative, but it’s a message that is needed in society right now.

“This piece is really about nonviolent resistance in a time when we really truly need it,” Milloy said. “People need to stand up and be counted and we also need to come together and to talk. I’m hoping that this piece along with many other things starts spurring that conversation about understanding and a peaceful resolve.”

Troy Terry, a former Rock Canyon High School student and a junior at the University of Denver, has been named to the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team. He will compete at the winter Olympic games in Pyeongchang, South Korea starting Feb. 14. COURTESY OF SHANNON VALERIO

DU hockey player headed to Olympics

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Rock Canyon High School student has been selected to play for the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team at the 2018 Winter Olympics, USA Hockey announced Jan. 1.

Troy Terry, 20, will be on one of 12 hockey teams competing at the winter games in Pyeongchang, South Korea Feb. 14-25. The U.S. team’s first game is scheduled for Feb. 14 against Slovenia.

Terry, a junior at the University of Denver, is in his third season with the university’s hockey team, the Pioneers. In his college hockey career, he has posted 92 points through 96 games, according to a release from the university. This season, he has recorded 25 points through 20 games and is tied for ninth in NCAA scoring, the university reported. His position is forward.

He has represented the U.S. in

two International Ice Hockey Federation world championships: in 2015 on the U.S. Men’s National Under-18 Team and in 2017 on the U.S. National Junior Team, according to USA Hockey. Both teams claimed gold medals.

Terry went to Rock Canyon High School as a freshman and sophomore and played six seasons with the Colorado Thunderbirds club team. He also was part of the USA Hockey National Team development program, where he gained some international experience.

In an interview posted on Facebook

by Denver Men’s Hockey, Terry recalled his first time watching the movie “Miracle,” a sports drama about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.

“It’s the first movie you see as a hockey kid and it’s something that you always want to do is play for your country,” Terry said. “If you told me a year ago I had a chance to play at the Olympic level, I wouldn’t believe you.

“I’m going there to represent myself, my family, my school here in Denver and my state.”

Terry is one of two Colorado athletes who will be competing in the 2018 winter games. Nicole Hensley, of Lakewood, will play for the U.S. Womens Olympic Hockey Team.

Big plans hinge on politics Zeppelin Station is nearly done. The HUB, an eight-story project, is under construction.“RiDE at RiNo” will place 84 micro apartments on Wynkoop Street, just across from the station. The so-called Giambrocco Neighborhood will wrap around white industrial silos on six blocks nearby.

But the biggest plans, like the 16-story World Trade Center proposal, can’t happen without the approval of a major change by Denver’s elected leaders.

They’ll wade into the discussion over the next few weeks, with a public hearing scheduled for February. Proponents of the new construction have laid out a vision that is meant to ease tensions by including extra requirements for community features and affordable housing, but the thought of tall new towers on the horizon could spur intense new debate — and some developers aren’t happy either.

“From a lot of people I talk to, they feel this encroaching wave of development that’s coming toward Globeville and Elyria-Swansea is a serious threat,” said Drew Dutcher, president of the Elyria and Swansea neighborhood association, an area just northeast of the new urban area.

“We had a lot of sort of philosophical discussions about this,” Dutcher said. “Are we a city that has one central downtown of density and highrises, or do we have multiple nodes in the city?”

Transit plays key role Developers are interested in 38th and Blake for pretty obvious reasons.

It’s riding in the wake of the massive redevelopment along Brighton Boulevard, which itself is fueled by the availability of relatively cheap, industrial land near downtown.

“Land prices — they’re really a fraction of what they are down by Union Station,” Feinstein said.

This end of Brighton also has something special: It’s the first stop along the A Line from downtown to the airport. Transit advocates and city planners argue that transit works best when lots of people are nearby, and developers seem to be buying in, too.

The City of Denver has made transit stations a centerpiece for its vision of mobility in Denver. Union Station and

January 18, 2018 its crop of glassy high-rises are the obvious example of the potential, but you’ll also find new apartment buildings around far-flung train stations in south Denver and the suburbs.

“We think it could be a really incredible welcome mat for visitors that are coming to the city,” said Karen Gerwitz, president of the nonprofit World Trade Center Denver that will occupy part of the proposed tower that shares its name.

Attempting balance In Elyria and Swansea, there’s a growing fear that massive redevelopment and infrastructure won’t leave room for single-family neighborhoods or the people that live there.

“The wave of rising land values are going to take over Elyria and Swansea and Globeville, and for a single-family home — it’s much cheaper to just combine them and build multistory units,” said Dutcher, who represented Elyria-Swansea in the planning process for 38th and Blake.

The city plan for 38th and Blake tries to balance the impact of development in a couple of ways. First, it “steps down” heights near residential areas. The residents of Cole won’t be directly next to a 16-story building.

Moreover, the proposal tries to create affordable housing around the station by stepping up affordability rules.

“It’s important to maintain the socioeconomic diversity of RiNo, and it’s also important to maintain the character of RiNo,” said Feinstein, the developer, who is co-chair of the River North Art District and serves on the steering committee for 38th and Blake planning.

To that end, Brooks has sponsored the creation of a set of rules that would incentivize developers to include community features and affordable residential units that go above and beyond the normal requirements around the train station.

In short, if developers include affordable housing and other community stuff, they can build higher.

“This plan achieves all of that. For the first time in the zoning code history, we will have a density bonus for affordable housing,” Brooks said.

If it works, it would accomplish something that many have demanded: It helps to ensure that the city’s explosive growth brings more benefits to the community at large. The question is just how much it will deliver.

affordable-housing rules. A typical five-story building in this area might have to build one affordable unit, or they could pay a fee of $112,500.

But if that developer wanted to access the extra height allowed under this new system, the affordable housing requirements would get much steeper. Going to 12 floors, for example, would require a total of 10 affordable units. That’s more than triple what would be required without the incentive program.

The 38th and Blake rules also require that the extra affordable units be built within the building or the 38th and Blake area. The units would be for people making a maximum of 80 percent of the area median income, or $67,120 for a family of four.

Developers building retail and other non-residential space would also have to pay extra for height. A 12-story commercial building would have to pay an extra $714,000 in incentive fees — or it could agree to provide low-rent space for a nonprofit or for community services such as child care, or space for artists.

The proposal also introduces new design rules. Buildings will have to get thinner as they get taller, a tactic meant to discourage blocky blocks. No parking will be required within a halfmile of the station, which is meant to reduce the amount of space spent on parks. Also, buildings near the river would be oriented toward the water.

The changes also will increase the overall maximum heights even when developers don’t build extra affordable units — just to a lesser extent.

we’d like taller buildings around our light-rail stations, the market hasn’t produced them. I’m just curious how the market’s going to respond to this,” said Councilwoman Kendra Black, calling out the 41st and Fox station in particular.

“That’s always been the fear,” Brooks responded. But market-rate developers already had come with plans to go for 16 floors and 20-plus units, he said. “It’s impressive.”

But it has been harder to convince commercial developers to go taller, he admitted.

Rules could be tougher Denver already has citywide

Divergent opinions To an extent, the affordable housing incentive has brought some neighborhood leaders on board with the plan. “We’re expecting this with what’s going on in RiNo and all the development that’s happening. At least this way we get affordable housing,” as Mike Dugan, of the Cole Neighborhood Association, previously told Denverite.

For his part, Dutcher (of ElyriaSwansea) also sees a strong need for affordable housing, but feels that this is only a “nod” toward it. He believes that the plan is primarily meant to allow higher density, and he’s disappointed in what he believes is a lack of “robust public discussion” about such important topics, he said.

Beyond the community, the central question is whether or not developers will bite.

“In a lot of places in our city where

Future unsettled Bernard Hurley had laid out plans for a $250 million mix of towers rising to 12 floors, including residential, retail, hotels and restaurants.

Now, though, he says that the financial numbers in the plan aren’t working for him. He had planned extensive public space for his project, which he had hoped the city would count as a “community benefit” — thus saving him significant money.

He has learned that he won’t get any credit for public space, he said.

He doesn’t think he can afford to pay the incentive fee, and he’s unsure he can subsidize rent for a “community benefit.” He anticipates that his development, Hurley Place, would be losing significant money already in order to attract restaurants and other businesses.

“I don’t have a problem with the affordable units — I believe in affordable housing anyway. It’s the office and the hotel. You’ve got to pay a pretty large per-square-foot price if you don’t do the community-serving benefit or meet that criteria,” he said.

A city spokeswoman said that the planners had considered numerous “community benefits” to encourage, and decided against counting public space. “Open space is desirable in the area but doesn’t necessarily relate to affordability, and it’s difficult to quantify the economic value of a plaza, for example, vs. an affordable unit in an incentive system,” wrote Alexandra Foster in an email.

For Hurley, the future’s up in the air for now. He plans to take a “deep dive” reassessment of his project now that the final details have emerged.

“I want to do iconic architecture and have a legacy project, and if I can’t do that, then I’m not going to do it.”
