DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Wheat Ridge, Colorado seeks a vendor to conduct a Nexus Study for a Housing Impact (Linkage) Fee. The selected consultant will assess how affordable housing is generated by both residential and commercial development and will explore the development of a legally defensible fee structure to serve as a secondary revenue source for the city's housing fund.

The scope includes a broad review of the legal and policy frameworks for housing-related impact fees, compliance with applicable case law and statutes, and a comparative analysis of fee structures used in peer cities. The study should include a comprehensive look at local employment, housing trends, employment density, job creation for various development types, and a housing affordability gap analysis, projecting trends over a 10–15 year timeframe. The consultant will present findings to the city council in at least one study session and is expected to attend public hearings related to ordinance adoption as necessary.

The analysis should also compare linkage fees with inclusionary zoning policies, providing recommendations based on industry best practices and local context.
