Bill Summary: HB24-1313 is a top-down, one-size-fits-all state mandate for extreme density along broadly defined transit routes.
The bill mandates a whopping forced density of 15 to 40 dwelling units per acre depending on the transit line. To make matters worse, under the bill, if local jurisdictions do not comply, the State will punitively withhold the localities’ vital state transportation funds used for critical local road maintenance, safety, and stormwater drainage.
Every city targeted by the bill has highly varying local conditions. And, cities do not have anywhere near the infrastructure needed to support such extreme and haphazard density increases.
In terms of carrot-and-stick, HB-1313 will be a "giant club" used against cities, towns, and counties that don’t comply with state-mandated haphazard, extremely high-density residential developments.
