City of Golden Planning Commission 2-18-26

The City of Golden Planning Commission held a meeting on February 18, 2026, primarily focused on discussing and soliciting public feedback on the draft comprehensive plan update. The plan update addresses housing, economic vitality, historic preservation, and community marketing strategies, reflecting changes in state legislation and local priorities. Staff presented proposed edits and implementation actions related to affordable housing funding, diverse housing opportunities, economic development initiatives, and historic preservation programs. The commission reviewed public engagement efforts and planned to continue the public hearing at the March 4 meeting, with a tentative city council approval scheduled for April 14. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion included references to funding mechanisms such as the affordable housing trust fund and community marketing funds that support economic development and visitation-related activities.
