Housing Affordability Code Task Force – Meeting Summary
10.01.26
Primary Focus: Consultant kickoff, project scope and schedule, Land Development Code/TEDS
assessment, housing-cost priorities, and expectations for recommendations.
Consultant Introduction and Project Approach
KLJ introduced its project team and outlined its role in reviewing the Land Development Code
and Transportation Engineering Design Standards (TEDS). The consultant acknowledged that
several team members previously worked for the City and addressed concerns regarding
independence and objectivity. KLJ emphasized that prior experience with Grand Junction's
regulations will be used as institutional knowledge, but the review will be conducted from a
third-party perspective.
The Task Force emphasized that the consultant's work must remain focused on the group's
primary charge: reducing regulatory barriers and costs associated with producing housing.
Members specifically asked KLJ to evaluate not only whether a regulation achieves a legitimate
objective, but also the cost associated with achieving that objective.
KLJ confirmed that construction, engineering, planning, and transportation expertise will be used
to evaluate practical development impacts and costs.
Working Agreements
The group reaffirmed its existing working agreements, including listening to understand,
allowing everyone an opportunity to participate, focusing on systems rather than individuals,
avoiding assumptions about in …
