From time to time, staff recommends updating the zoning code (Chapter 26) as it relates to best practices, lessons learned from peer cities, updated policies and processes, to correct typographical errors, to clarify code language, and as a result of long-range plan adoption. Both the City’s mixed-use code requirements (Article XI) and subdivision requirements (Article IV) have not been updated in some time.

Effective July 1, 2022, SB21-260 created within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment a clean fleet enterprise for the purpose of incentivizing and supporting the use of electric motor vehicles and other clean fleet technologies by owners and operators of motor vehicle fleets. The clean fleet enterprise is authorized to impose a clean fleet retail delivery fee (CFRDF) to be paid by the purchaser of tangible personal property delivered to the purchaser by a motor vehicle. The fee is $.27 per delivery. City staff’s recommendation is to follow Colorado Municipal League’s (CML) recommendation and exempt the delivery fee from taxation.
