COLORADO. SINCE 1878 [ N Specifics on Alkonis In October 2013, this key parcel received the scrutiny of a cross - disciplinary team at a three-day - long intensive workshop for planners and affordable housing professionals from across Colora- do. A team of professional architects and planners led a group of Urban Planning students from the University of Colorado at Denver to design two viable options and financial analyses for the site, which will provide between 175 and 211 additional affordable housing units. Supporting their efforts were an engineering professional, BCHA staff, and City of Louisville Planning Depart- ment staff. Boulder County and BCHA staff will also be engaged in the small area planning pro- cess led by the City of Louisville in 2014 and hope to have permit -ready development by 2015. BCHA will continue to work with the city to develop site plans and a development proposal for the land that corresponds with the community's character and helps meet the area's need for quality affordable housing. We are committed to continued collaboration on this project to help ensure it incorporates a wide range of input and serves the community well. We continue to evaluate the successes we have seen in our work on Josephine Commons in Lafayette, and are confident this development will benefit from that very positive experience.
