Tell the Planning and Zoning Board Our Seniors Need Affordable Housing!

Currently, having wait lists of 1-4 years to secure senior housing is not acceptable. We need to welcome Oakridge Crossing with open arms as they are addressing the huge need for quality, affordable senior housing in Ft. Collins.

Our seniors have paved the way for us and lack of housing for them is greatly disturbing. This has to be passed, especially with how rapidly Fort Collins is growing. Why are these companies opposing housing that could bring them more revenue? Maybe we as a community should think about petition against their business since they don't want to bring more housing and income to Fort Collins...

Mackenzie Place is directly across the street and provides numerous living options for seniors who are economically privileged. I ask the P&Z board members to consider all citizens of our community, including vulnerable segments of our population such as low income seniors, many of whom have contributed to what makes Fort Collins what it is for decades. I honestly can't imagine what kind of development would be more suitable for that site with so much senior housing across the street and existing multi-family housing a half block to the South. Regarding traffic, there will be an increase in traffic and a need for parking no matter what is eventually developed on the site. I urge the board to support this project.

As a native of Northern Colorado I've observed the influx of people moving here because Fort Collins is such a desirable place to live. This has impacted housing availability and unfortunately pushes out numerous people of moderate financial means. Many people who have lived here for years can neither find nor afford appropriate housing in our city. Please approve Oakridge Crossings and keep our city a desirable place to live with affordable housing opportunities for all seniors.

Since retiring to FC in 2007 and living as a "renter by choice", my husband and I are personally very aware of the high costs in/lack of availability in our rental housing market. While we are fortunate enough to be able to afford the increasingly high rents in our own apartment community, many in town in our age range cannot. And it is for them - and for those who come after them - that I am joining this petition to P&Z and City Council for approval of this the McDermott Properties affordable senior rental complex. We need more of this type of age-specific housing - as well as more housing both affordable and suitable to all age groups. These 110 units are just a drop in the bucket of need, but after many drops, the bucket WILL fill.

Many of these seniors will not be able to afford today's rents, much less the rents of the future. We need to build now to meet the needs of this burgeoning population.

Please support and take the lead on accomplishing this.
