Local-control advocates have wanted to repeal the prohibition on what s known as inclusionary zoning ever since a 2000 Colorado Supreme Court decision regarding a Telluride rent-control issue wound up affecting the entire state.
The lead-up to that decision began in 1981, when Boulder residents pushed an initiative seeking to institute rent control on existing buildings. In response, the Colorado Legislature passed a bill that local governments cannot institute any ordinance that controls rent, explains Megan Dollar, legislative advocacy manager at the Colorado Municipal League, a major proponent of HB-1117. As a result, she says, from 1981 to 2000, local governments acted in the same way they would have without the rent-control statute, in that when talking about new developments, they d ask for set-asides in the development of affordable-housing units.
