Housing Needs Assessment & Strategic Plan
The Board of Trustees wants your specific feedback on the draft Strategic Housing Plan!
On July 8, 2024, the Town Board considered the draft Strategic Housing Plan and expressed their desire to hear from more of you before they take action on August 12, 2024, during the next Board meeting. The following links are provided for more information:
- Read the draft Strategic Housing Plan
- Listen to the Board of Trustees discussion on July 8
- Read all the materials included in the July 8 Board of Trustees packet
To get us to this stage, we've offered multiple surveys, conducted a Housing Needs Assessment, held open houses to hear from residents and answer questions, and conducted interviews with housing professionals. This is described in the Summary of Public Outreach and Engagement. All of these efforts helped inform the Town's first Strategic Housing Plan. In the coming years, funds will become available through Boulder County and the State of Colorado to support potential housing efforts. This plan will help guide future decision-making and programs related to housing in Superior.
The plan is centered around three objectives:
- Increase Housing Choices for People
- Support and Promote Local and Regional Affordable Housing Efforts
- Remove Housing Barriers for Those Who Often Encounter Them
How does the Strategic Housing Plan relate to the upcoming Comprehensive Plan and Home Rule efforts?
The Strategic Housing Plan is intended to identify and evaluate potential strategies that could result in housing development that achieves the Town’s policy objectives and does not propose any specific development or redevelopment project or location within the Town. Strategies explored in this plan that could result in housing development within the Town will be further considered through the upcoming Comprehensive Plan process to determine appropriate locations, if any. The Comprehensive Plan process will include a full evaluation of site considerations, intensity of development, integration with other Town-wide goals, compatibility, and other location-specific elements.
Adoption of the Strategic Housing Plan is unrelated to the Town’s effort to consider adopting a Home Rule Charter. This plan itself will not limit the applicability of any legislation adopted by the State of Colorado to the Town. Beyond the grant's requirements supporting this plan, it does not obligate the Town to take any specific action.
