Transit-Oriented Communities Housing Compliance

At a glance

  • What: Compliance with the 2024 state transit-oriented communities law, which sets a housing goal for areas near transit. Staff think Boulder is not yet compliant.
  • Where it stands: A report to the state is due by the end of 2026 and compliance by 2027-12-31. Possible code changes: remove the form-based code call-up, ease ground-floor retail rules, raise the site review threshold to 5 acres.
