Measure 300: Housing Ban

Louisville’s Measure 300 proposes an across-the-board ban on residential rezoning unless developers meet an unattainable and likely illegal 30% affordability mandate. It claims to advance Louisville’s affordable housing goals. In reality, it will make housing for seniors, families, and low-income earners much more expensive to build.

• Undermines Louisville’s existing affordable housing requirements, strips Louisville’s flexibility to negotiate better housing deals, and locks in rules that cannot be changed for years.
• Effectively blocks permanently affordable and senior housing at key sites.
• Imposes strict and likely illegal housing mandates that will make it harder to build any new housing. 
• Unanimously opposed by the Louisville City Council, as well as Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, Together Colorado, the Louisville Chamber, and the Downtown Business Association. 

Measure 301: Higher Fees

Louisville’s Measure 301 proposes to dramatically raise costs on all new housing and commercial developments. These costs will be passed directly to new residents and local employers. 

• Louisville already requires developers to pay for growth through extensive impact fees, tap fees, permits, and City taxes. 
• Louisville’s Council is unanimously opposed because it adds layers of costly fees and red tape to housing, business, and community projects. 
• Financially punishes Louisville’s largest employers that want to expand. 
• Major employers and housing developers will look elsewhere if 301 passes, resulting in fewer sales and property tax revenues that fund the very services that residents care about. 
• Opposed by the Downtown Business Association, Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, the Louisville Chamber, and Together Colorado.
• The result? Extreme and unwanted fees that drive away jobs and investment.

• Flyers and yard signs are available for pickup at the Chamber.
