“The City of Lakewood supports the creation of new affordable housing,” said Mayor Steve Croft, “and we have a track record of approving it, such as townhouse projects and apartments.
"But we do so with requirements for onsite parking and other features that protect the quality of life for existing residents in our community.
That’s the proper role of local government, but SB 9 unfairly and unconstitutionally takes that local oversight and decision-making away.”
