The Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) has released updated guidance for Proposition 123 Fast Track, along with a redesigned website and two scheduled webinars.
The new guidance offers revised interpretations regarding allowable extensions under Proposition 123. It also provides a section that outlines the requirements for the Fast-Track review process, best practices, frequently asked questions, and examples from communities.
According to DOLA, “The updated guidance provides an easy-to-use section outlining what is required in a Fast-Track review process to comply with Proposition 123, best practices, frequently asked questions, community examples, and more.”
All materials related to Proposition 123 Fast Track are now available on DOLA’s improved website. The site features downloadable resources such as a template resolution and a self-assessment checklist.
DOLA will host two upcoming webinars through its Community Development Office. The first event is scheduled for Friday, September 12 at 9am. In this informational webinar on Fast Track, DOLA staff will present the newly published guidance materials and discuss statutory interpretation changes concerning allowable extensions. Staff will also address common questions about the updates.
A second event—a panel discussion—will take place Thursday, September 18 at 9am as part of the monthly Housing Strategies Peer Exchange series. This session will include local government perspectives on fast track policy approaches and implementation efforts. Audience members can ask questions and share input during this interactive session.
Both events are aimed at local government staff or elected officials, consultants, and others interested in learning more about these requirements.
