Ok, finally onto CCCAP deliberations.
BPS was actively hostile to meaningfull reform rules around housing in the central city.
It is only because of the Planning Commission adding in the unlimited hieght option that this has any meaningful reforms around housing, but even with that CCCAP is a massive missed opportunity due to BPS.

They're talking about food carts now.
CCCAP started as a project in our housing production strategy, and after years of work what BPS brought to the PC completely negelcted housing, and instead was a grab bag of random technical changes to like parking rules.

Hi councilor, I have a couple council ammendment ideas I've been working on. I'd be love to share them with your office.
The CCCAP can and should set the central city up for a building boom in the next cycle, but as drafted it neglects some major barriers.

For thousands of working parents in Colorado, child care is more than a service — it’s the key to economic stability. But as counties across the state freeze new enrollments in the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program due to funding shortages, families who rely on this crucial support are left in limbo. “We need an additional $70 million just to maintain where we are at with CCCAP,” said Heather Tritten, president and CEO of Colorado Children’s Campaign.

The Trump administration’s move to restrict federal funding puts Colorado families at risk. CCCAP helped 27,598 kids last year and TANF supports 47,000 children living in deep poverty. If this freeze isn’t fixed aid will run out in less than a month, hurting families and threatening providers.

If we want a vibrant downtown, a solid tax base, & abundant housing; then we need to be willing to move on from bad planning ideas and programs of old.
You, dear reader though, will have the opportunity to advocate for making the CCCAP into a meaningful course correction.

The CCCAP is intended to boost the post pandemic recovery of our central city by reducing barriers to home building, and opening/expanding businesses.
The housing aspect is, I think pretty clearly, the more important project. The central city has a fraction of the population that it should have.

The lack of public aid can also start a vicious cycle: when spaces are unfilled, revenue drops, and the bottom line falls apart for the whole program. If the CCCAP freeze continues indefinitely, Westwood’s future is uncertain.
