COMPREHENSIVE 3LAN AND LAND USE REGULATION PROJECTS ONLY a. Is this applicatic n for a comprehensive plan or land use regulation project? If no, proceed to Section L. No b. Affirm required elements for Comprehensive Plan The State of Colorado requires local governments to adopt Comprehensive (Master) Plans per C.R.S. 30-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities). When funding comprehensive plans. DOLA requires that the following project components be included in the scc pe of work: • An inclusi—e community outreach and engagement plan to ensure participation from underrepresented groups. • The plan roust assess and address housing needs of current and future residents at all levels of affordability. It must include lot ally -appropriate goals, strategies, and actions to promote affordable housing development. This work must use the best a—ailable data (e.g., State Demography Office data or a recent housing needs assessment). When it comes time to consider implementation strategies, jurisdictions may find the Strong Communities list of Land Use Best Practices helpful in this work. • Risks of nztural and human -caused hazards to life, property, and public resources, and consideration of their impact to vulnerable communities. Include goals, strategies, and/or actions to address and mitigate these hazards (must identify and address al potential hazards as described in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan). Communities may find DOLAs Planning for Hazarc s guide helpful in this work. • In the spir t of the states goal to engage with disproportionately impacted communities (C.R.S. 24-4-109), the plan must use an emaironmental justice lens, particularly when it comes to the impacts of hazards, resources, and amenities to promote equitable outcomes. • The plan ri ust address the community water supply and water quality goals. Per C.R.S. 31-23-206(1)(d) and 30-28-106(3) (a)(IV), the community must: • Consult ar d coordinate with local water provider(s), • Include wz ter conservation policies, and • Identify in the plan water supplies and facilities sufficient to meet public and private infrastructure needs reasonably anticipate I or identified in the planning process. Within the first si; months of receiving the grant, awardees must submit a self -assessment, such as the Colorado Growing Water Smart: Communit'Self-Assessment, to include water supply and demand status and trends, existing water conservation and efficiency goals ard policies. Consult the DOLA Land Use and Water Planner before or immediately following award for free technical assistant e. • The plan rr ust include an action plan that prioritizes actions necessary to implement the plan, creates a timeline for implementation, and assigns responsibility for actions. • And, for ,nnicipalities only, a plan for three miles outside municipal boundaries, also known as the three mile plan, per C.R.S. 31-: 2-105(1)(e)(l). The department 5- rongly encourages the following: • Land use ode updates: Because the land use code implements a comprehensive plan, a land use code update is strongly recommerded to immediately follow a comprehensive plan update. • Policies arm strategies in the comprehensive plan and land use code to plan for the aging demographic of the community. • Policies aid strategies to address energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. and increase the use of renewable energy soy rces where applicable. • Intergovernmental agreement(s) (IGA) with neighboring jurisdiction(s) to cooperatively plan for areas of mutual interest (e.g., three-mile areas). In addition. the IGA will address how infrastructure will be provided or upgraded and maintained in areas of m itual interest and engage major service providers/special districts, as applicable. We agree to incluc e the Department of Local Affairs required elements for Comprehensive (Master) Plans as identified above in addition to C.R.S. ; 0-28-106 (for counties) and 31-23-206 (for municipalities) in the project scope of work.
