BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 At the Breckenridge Town Council work session Nov. 26, Breckenridge Housing Planner Nichole Rex and Gorman & Co. representative Kimball Crangle presented plans for the McCain Housing Project, a workforce housing development. The proposed project would take up four acres of the 128-acre reclaimed McCain property<\/a>, which is between Coyne Valley Road and the Fairview Boulevard roundabout in Breckenridge. <\/p>\n

The town selected Gorman & Co. as the developer for the project in August. The developer\u2019s proposal includes 80 one-, two- and three-bedroom reduced-rent apartments based on income level. If the project is approved, Gorman & Co. would apply for grants that would help the town rent the units at rates lower than market value. <\/p>\n

Rent prices will be based on the area median income, or AMI. The Department of Housing and Urban Development calculates the area median income for a family of four in Summit County as $89,100<\/a>. For a single person, that number is $62,400 on average.<\/p>\n

Tenants will be given rent prices based on their income, which ranges from 30% to 60% of the average income in the county. Of the 80 proposed apartments, four will be rented to tenants who make 30% of AMI, 17 will be rented at 50% AMI and 57 will be rented at 60% AMI, though 16 of those will not have income testing requirements. There also will be two employee units on-site.<\/p>\n

The developer is working to reach net-zero emissions for the project, so the town is considering not running a natural gas pipeline to the development. Town Council members supported transportation options that would discourage car use, and Crangle said the development would use a passive solar site layout. Crangle also said the developer is working to add chargers for electric cars and e-bikes.<\/p>\n

Crangle and Rex will bring a resolution to Town Council on Tuesday, Dec. 10, asking for approval of the development management agreement with Gorman & Co. so the company can move forward with the grant application process. <\/p>\n
