Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cohousing in Colorado and zoning approval

[Dan Revelle (drevelle]

Hi,

We are new cohousing community forming in Broomfield, Colorado, and we have
an option on a 4.5+ acre site in the middle of an established neighborhood.
We have our first hearing in front of the planning commission in October and
our early indications are that we may meet a bit of resistance from people
in the neighborhood.  Their main concerns appear to be the impact of
construction and addition of more houses to the neighborhood.

I'm interested in what other groups have done, both to win over grumpy
neighbors and to gain city approval in the face of some neighborhood
opposition.

Thanks,
Dan Revelle
