Proposed changes would create a flat fee for residential units and change who can get discounts on the new sidewalk fee.
that voters approved in November 2022 a reality, and now wants feedback from the public on three tweaks to that ordinance before it begins collecting fees this July.has suggested reworking the fee amounts for certain residential lots, changing the structure for discounts and softening the language around the implementation timeline.“We had a really robust debate on the committee about what did it mean to be fair,” Locantore says.
The property owners may not be responsible, but they will be paying to repair sidewalks. As approved by voters, the law instituted an annual fee for property owners based on the linear square footage of frontage on their property. Those fees are to be paid into a fund that will be used to build out Denver’s sidewalk network and upgrade existing sidewalks in disrepair or that don’t meet Americans With Disabilities Act regulations.
“Instead of having it be a variable fee that could be something very low to something very high, we’re just charging everybody in that property category the average fee,” Locantore explains. “It still ties back to single-family homes being more spread out. They require more sidewalk to be built, so they're paying a higher fee. Multi-family properties are more compact, so the fee per housing unit in multi-family properties is lower.
As a result, the committee has suggested implementing an instant rebate program for property owners that works with Denver’s new system. Under that program, those making less than 60 percent of Area Median Income get a 50 percent discount; those making less than 50 percent AMI get a 75 percent discount; and those making less than 30 percent are exempt from payment.
