BOCC Work Session 7/6/26 1:30 p.m.

The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners held a work session on July 6, 2026, focusing primarily on community planning and infrastructure issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the legislative rezoning proposal for the Manufactured Housing Park Preservation Zoning District, aimed at protecting mobile home parks from redevelopment and displacement. The board reviewed the proposed timeline for public outreach, legal notices, and hearings, with plans to initiate the rezoning process on July 15, 2026, and finalize it by November 9, 2026. Commissioners emphasized the importance of including all mobile home parks in the rezoning and coordinating with municipalities and state agencies. Additionally, an update was provided on amendments to the county's rubbish ordinance following new state legislation, which expands enforcement authority and administrative cost recovery. The ordinance changes are scheduled for readings on July 13 and August 10, 2026. The session also highlighted Larimer County's achievement in meeting its Proposition 123 affordable housing commitments, preserving 113 housing units through expedited review processes and home improvement programs. Finally, updates on planning commission vacancies and upcoming public improvement district hearings were shared, with potential procurement implications for infrastructure projects.
