NEW: Colorado House plans revival of Polis’s gutted zoning reform bill
, House Democrats are preparing to reverse some of those changes and return key zoning provisions to a measure that’s repeatedly been altered as it has passed through the Capitol.would again allow for accessory dwelling units — like carriage houses — to be built on single-family lots, albeit only in more populous parts of the state.
“In my mind, I think we’re taking something that we are receiving and bringing back the integrity that the bill was intended to do,” said Democratic Rep. Iman Jodeh of Aurora, who’s co-sponsoring the bill in the House with Denver Democrat Rep. Steven Woodrow. The two will bring the amendments during the bill’s first House hearing, before the chamber’s Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee on Tuesday.
The proposed changes, which are expected to be adopted Tuesday, won’t rebuild the bill entirely. The amendments wouldn’t restore any of the middle housing components, which had allowed buildings like quadplexes to be built on single-family lots. ADUs would only be allowed in cities and larger towns, rather than statewide or in resort communities.
