Jared Polis earlier this year, prohibits cities from imposing residential growth caps and requires municipalities with existing caps to remove them. City Council members in Boulder, which hasn’t enforced its growth cap in many years, in June directed their staff to create an ordinance to repeal its growth cap. The city’s growth cap, which was approved by voters in 2019, limits residential development to 1% each year. Members of the Lakewood City Council attempted twice since the bill was signed into law to enter executive session to discuss how to respond. In an interview with The Colorado Sun in June, Paul indicated that the City Council was considering fighting the legislation’s legality.
