Crested Butte Community Plan Implementation: Zoning Incentives Analysis, 5-Year Housing Strategy, and 5-Year Community Spaces Strategy
This Request for Proposals (RFP) is to support implementation of the Town of Crested Butte’s Community Plan (CP), which sets a long-term vision to enhance Crested Butte’s livability, functionality, and sense of community by aligning the Town’s development regulations with the community’s values and strategic goals. While the Town is initiating a comprehensive rewrite of its zoning code, the scope of work outlined in this RFP are designed to complement that process with technical analysis of the zoning incentives and targeted strategies to help create housing and community spaces.
The Town invites qualified consultants to submit on the following scope of work (further described in the RFP):
- Zoning Incentives and Feasibility Analysis: Provide technical and financial analysis to inform zoning incentives for both community housing and community-serving spaces to ensure the proposed code requirements are both community-aligned and market feasible. The Town will be working in parallel on drafting the code update internally with the Town Attorney, along with associated community outreach, on a schedule that will align with the scope of this RFP.
- 5-Year Community Housing Strategy: Develop a tactical five-year strategy to advance the CP’s housing goals, including an assessment of Crested Butte’s current affordable housing programs and portfolio to identify key gaps and community needs, and prioritize implementation actions over the next five-year period with direction on projects, programs, and funding sources that complement the zoning code update.
- 5-Year Community Spaces Strategy: Develop an actionable strategic framework to advance the CP vision for community-serving spaces. This includes clearly defining what qualifies as a community-serving business or organization, assessing current gaps, threats, and challenges, and identifying success metrics and methods for ongoing evaluation. The strategy will provide a foundational framework with baseline data, designed to be updated and refined as implementation progresses.

Aurora Urban Renewal Authority - Market Study
The Aurora Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) requests written proposals from qualified firms to perform a Market Study on 6.16 acres of AURA-owned land located within the Point at Nine Mile Station development which is located across the street from the Rapid Transit District’s Nine Mile Station. The 21.7- acre mixed use project began with the establishment of several urban renewal areas in 2014 to help facilitate the redevelopment of an aging and deteriorating shopping center. Since that time, all former structures have been demolished and new infrastructure, retail and housing have been constructed. The study’s objective is to aid AURA in the evaluation of the highest and best uses for the remaining parcels.
