Glenwood Springs councillors will discuss the characteristics of housing on city-owned land in a joint meeting with the Housing Commission on Thursday.
“This is a continuation of a discussion that takes a stand with the city council about the feasibility of presenting all the homes that are owned in the city,” said head of planning, Hannah Klausman.
Klausman made it clear that this assembly is strictly informative.
“This is not an action detail where you are going to take a resolution on a specific asset. This is an initial discussion about the opportunities and limitations of city-owned assets for review and discussion only,” he said.
The city of Glenwood Springs owns 119 homes on or near the city limits of Garfield County, according to a report ready for the meeting.
The city took a closer look at nine of these properties, and offered data on the potential for progression, density, and limitations on those individual parcels, according to the report.
“The Housing Commission reviewed the subtle list [of nine properties], and they decided two that they prioritized, but did not need to remove the sites imaginable for review through the city council,” Klausman said.
The Housing Commission recommends that the City Council have two homes for the progression of a model/affordable housing project: Iddings’ assets on Airport Road (0.8 acres) and Eighth Street and Midland Avenue (0.4 acres).
The assembly record includes a site plan for Eighth and Midland assets with six housing units. Klausman said the plan exists because the assets were reviewed in the past for the same purpose, but that the plan would want to be updated.
As it is still in its infancy, Klausman said that key points such as allocation investment and who would be the intended beneficiaries of the home have been identified.
“These main points have still been defined. We hope to have that discussion on Thursday,” he said.
Public opinion can be useful to the board.
“If the public sees the sites and wants to comment or comment on some of the facets discussed, that can be useful at this stage,” Klausman said, adding, “There will be many more opportunities for audience engagement in the future.”
Where the concept goes, it’s all about the town hall, Klausman said.
“We’ll see what the board says about how it would continue or continue on this specific issue,” he said.
The City Council will hear the next circular of its budget presentations at 3:30 p.m., and the housing portion is scheduled from 4:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. A regular City Council assembly is scheduled from 6:15 p.m. 9:40 p.m. Visit the city’s online page to be informed about how to participate or pay attention remotely.
