A bill for an Ordinance authorizing and approving an amendment to the St. Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan to add the Sloans Block 7 West Project and to Create the Sloans Block 7 West Sales Tax Increment Area (FINANCE & SERVICES) Approves an amendment to the St. Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan for the Sloans Block 7 West Project in Council District 1. The Committee approved filing this bill at its meeting on 12-16-14.
I please close the voting and the results. 3939 1098 has been placed on final consideration and does pass. All right. We're moving on to our second public hearing on Council Bill 1099. Councilwoman Fox, would you please put 1099 on the floor? Certainly, Mr. President, I the council bill 1099 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. It has been moved and seconded. Public hearing for 1099 is now open. May we have the staff report? Hello again, Tracy Huggins with the Denver Urban Renewal Authority. Again, I beg your indulgence, as you will hear many of the same comments I made just a moment ago repeated here is this We do have to do a separate public hearing for each of these projects. So this project now is Sloan's BLOCK seven West, which we will be asking City Council to amend the urban redevelopment plan to include the Sloan's BLOCK Seven West Project, as well as to establish the Sloan's BLOCK seven West sales tax increment area. Again. The urban redevelopment area was established in August of 2013 and is comprised of approximately 32 acres generally bounded by Stewart Street on the west west Colfax Avenue on the South Perry Street on the East and West 17th Avenue on the North. The majority of the area was occupied by the Saint Anthony Central Hospital campus prior to its closure to support much of the redevelopment. Two of the of the hospital campus, two metropolitan districts are in place that will be used to finance a variety of infrastructure improvements. However, even with the use of the Metropolitan District financing, there was concern that the key objectives of the redevelopment plans could go unrealized without potential gap financing to support catalytic projects along West 17th Avenue and along West Colfax Avenue. In particular, the Colfax Parcel or BLOCK seven is challenged by difficulty in attracting new neighborhood serving retail to a largely blighted stretch of West Colfax and the anticipated extraordinary costs to support structured parking to meet the urban design objectives of Main Street zoning. Therefore, at the time the Urban Redevelopment Plan was originally approved, it also approved the creation of a property tax increment area that is coterminous with the Metropolitan District boundaries to support future projects. Any property tax increment generated within the property tax increment area can only be utilized on approved projects. The project being considered through an amendment to the Urban Redevelopment Plan is the redevelopment of the western portion of BLOCK Seven, located at West Colfax Avenue and Stewart Street. The Sloan's BLOCK seven West Project site is approximately 1.15 acres within the urban redevelopment area, and in conjunction with the Sloan's BLOCK Seven East Project will complete the redevelopment of BLOCK Seven. The project consists of a new 32,600 square foot Alamo Drafthouse Theater and approximately 26 surface parking spaces. The theater building will consist of eight screens, averaging approximately 100 seats per screen. The operator expects the theater to attract approximately 295,000 patrons annually. The site will benefit from the use of 145 stalls of structured parking through a permanent access easement agreement granted by the owner of the parking structure immediately north of the site. The redevelopment plan will help to activate a section along heavily trafficked West Colfax Avenue, bringing entertainment service and dining options to the diverse Denver community. The project will also act as the gateway to the fully redeveloped South Sloan's Lake area. The Urban Redevelopment Plan authorizes TURA to finance projects within the urban redevelopment area by the use of tax increment financing. The plan amendment will add the Sloan's BLOCK seven West sales tax increment area. Jurist staff has reviewed the budgets and proforma submitted by the developer and believes there is a financing gap in the project of $3,400,000. This financing gap will be addressed through sales and property tax increment generated by the redevelopment of the property as well as amounts from the broader property tax increment area. Following redevelopment, the site is anticipated to generate approximately $110,000 per year in net property tax increment and approximately $130,000 per year in net sales tax increment. These incremental tax revenues, as supplemented by additional area wide property tax increment of approximately $355,000 per year will be used to reimburse the developer for eligible expenses over a period not to exceed 25 years. In approving the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan, City Council found the plan to be in conformance with the Denver Comprehensive Plan 2000 and its applicable supplements. Accordingly, any amendment to the Urban Redevelopment Plan must be in conformance with the Urban Redevelopment Plan objectives in order to maintain the continuing conformance with comp plan 2000. The general objectives of the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan are to reduce or eliminate the blighted conditions and to stimulate the continued growth and development of the urban redevelopment area. The proposed project meets the following objectives of the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan to eliminate the present and growing factors which contribute to the blight in the urban redevelopment area. To renew and improve the character and environment of the urban redevelopment area and its surroundings by preventing or ameliorating economic, physical and environmental deterioration. To encourage residential retail and commercial development and redevelopment that is socially and economically inclusive and from which the urban redevelopment area and its environs can draw economic strength to encourage and protect existing development within and immediately adjoining the urban renewal area. By creating conditions from which these areas can draw new economic strength to more effectively, use underdeveloped land within the urban redevelopment area to encourage land use patterns within the urban redevelopment area where pedestrians are safe and welcome to promote a diverse, sustainable neighborhood economy, including mixed use and commercial development opportunities within the urban redevelopment area. Again, there are a number of legislative findings that Council must make before approving this urban redevelopment plan amendment, including that the Sloan's Black Seven West Project is located within the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Area and will promote the objectives set forth in the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan that a feasible method exists for relocation of displaced individuals and families and business concerns. The project area contains no residences, therefore no individuals or families will be displaced. Additionally, due to the vacancy of the site, no business concerns will be displaced by the project. That written notice of this public hearing has been provided to all property owners, residents and owners of business concerns in the resolution setting this public hearing. City Council requested the Urban Renewal Authority to undertake this task. Written notice was mailed first class mail to all known property owners, residents and owners of business concerns in the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Area on December 18th, 2014, which is at least 30 days prior to this public hearing. The statute requires that no more than 120 days have passed since the first public hearing before City Council on the Plan Amendment. Tonight is the first public hearing before Council on this Urban Redevelopment Plan Amendment. The statute also requires that two years must elapse before council can consider an urban redevelopment plan amendment if they previously failed to approve an urban redevelopment plan amendment for this project. This is the first consideration by City Council of an Urban Redevelopment Plan amendment for this project. Also, the plan amendment contains no property that was included in a previously submitted urban redevelopment plan amendment that was not approved by the City Council. As such, the requirement to wait at least 24 months since any prior public hearing is inapplicable. On December 3rd, 2014, the Denver Planning Board unanimously found that the proposed amendment to the St Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Denver comprehensive plan and applicable supplements. A letter to this effect has been submitted as part of the record of this hearing and during request the City Council concur with that finding. The Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Plan, as amended by the proposed amendment, will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of Denver as a whole for the readable rehabilitation or redevelopment of the Saint Anthony Urban Redevelopment Area by Private Enterprise. Alamo Sloan's LLC is a developer and a private development entity who intends to undertake the redevelopment project. This project will utilize property tax increment financing accordingly. Denver Public Schools District One has been permitted to participate in an advisory capacity with respect to the inclusion in the plan of the tax allocation provisions authorized by Section 31 Desk 25, 107 and nine of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law. And finally, the city and county of Denver can adequately finance and agreements are in place to finance any additional city and county of Denver infrastructure and services required to serve development within the Sloan's BLOCK Seven West Project area for the period during which the incremental taxes are paid to the authority. The plan allows for cooperative agreements between the city and borough to address additional infrastructure requirements in city services should they arise. In closing, again, we are very pleased to be working with the city to bring this project forward. A recent query of Google Maps revealed that except for several movie theaters that you would not take your children to. There are currently no movie theaters in Denver, west of I-25. This void is clearly recognized with the expected attendance of nearly 300,000 people to this venue. With the exciting redevelopment activities that are occurring in West Denver, the opportunity to fill a missing entertainment niche while also providing the type of catalytic project that was originally contemplated, is a win win for this neighborhood and the surrounding community. This loans block seven West Project, in conjunction with the Sloan's BLOCK Seven East Project, will help in the broader revitalization of this important corridor. We ask for your favorable consideration of this plan amendment and again will be able to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Ms.. Huggins. We have three speakers for this public hearing, and I will call all three. You can make your way up to the front pew. Tom two franzia, jesselyn, chavez, zanny and sean. Okay, so you three can make your way into the front pew and Mr. de franzia, you can go ahead and begin your remarks . Thank you again for considering this amendment. Approving the amendment to the Urban Redevelopment Plan will allow for the construction of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and also for the redevelopment of the Office Building and construction of retail space. I believe true to the mission of Denver's economic plan, this project will be a driving force that advances economic prosperity . For this part of Denver by being. The catalyst that will. Revitalize the West Colfax Business corridor. The news that the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will also be a part of Sloan's and West. Colfax has raised a tremendous amount of excitement in the neighborhood. We are confident that Alamo Drafthouse track record for success and pioneering projects in other challenged areas will be repeated in the West Colfax Business Corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. We're also confident that by anchoring the southern edge of the new Sloane's project, we will bring new customers for businesses currently operating on West Colfax and stimulate the development of abandoned lots and empty buildings. We are excited to create up to 150 new jobs in Act First Source Hiring and utilize small business enterprises in our construction. We're also excited to establish ourselves in the Sloane's community as business owners and operators offering film entertainment for an underserved area. The theater will be a great amenity for arts and entertainment, where guests can enjoy made to order food and Colorado microbrews served to the seats at affordable prices. Our signature programing, film festivals and free family films that run all summer long are a part of what has made Alamo Drafthouse successful. Just as integral to our success are the valuable services we provide to the communities in which we operate. The neighborhood surrounding Sloan's Lake and south of West Colfax have a longstanding history of diversity and community and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema intends to contribute to that. This next statement is taken directly from our guiding principles, which have been in place for many years in our posted in every one of our locations. And woven into the fabric of how we conduct our business. We're tied in. And by the way, everybody has a copy of all these principles as well. We're tied to the communities surrounding each location, and we do our part to make those communities better places to live. Our locations are unique, serving those neighborhoods in an organic, natural way. They share many similarities, but ultimately, each theater is unique to the community it serves. We enact this principle by being locally managed, hiring local staff, by listening to and engaging with the community around us and putting, as you said earlier, our money where our mouth is . When making commitments, for example, in 2014, the Alamo Drafthouse, Littleton hosted 47 discounted nonprofit events and school field trips for such groups as the Boys and Girls Club. Muscular Dystrophy Association Make a Hero Foundation Littleton Ballet Building Family Foundation. Bemis Library. Girl Scouts of Metro Denver. The School Hotel Echo. Miss to differentiate you 3 minutes is okay. I want to thank you again and thanks especially to Susan Sheppard for all her hard work that she's put towards this project. Thanks. Thank you, Mr. Diferencia. Jesselyn Chavez, R.D.. Good evening. My name is Jesselyn Charles, and I'm here on behalf of Girls Inc of Metro Denver. I'm excited to be here because we have been an organization that's been rooted in the West Colfax. Corridor for 32 years. We've been serving girls in that area for our entire history, so we're excited for something like the Alamo Drafthouse to come into our community. The girls that we serve are coming in from the neighborhoods and like was mentioned earlier, there is no there is nothing there for them to access like this. So for them to share and are, you know, wanting a safe out of school time, we're really excited to have that come. Alamo Drafthouse, now being placed in Littleton even still has had a great impact on the work that we do. They've been extremely generous and providing us with a number of resources in the past year. So we can't even imagine what would be available to us to have them here in our community when we're looking forward to what is coming in the next few months. Thanks. Thank you. Michelle Chavez. Trevisan. Shana Shea. Hi. I'm Shauna Sham, the executive director of the Building Family Foundation based in Littleton, Colorado. I am here to support the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Yes, it's a theater, but it's actually grown to quite more. It's a strategic partner, a strategic philanthropic partner and a great neighbor. They've been invaluable in supporting our mission of teaching life skills, employment skills. Soft skills, leadership skills to youth in the south metro area. There, and have been incredibly supportive of our youth film series and our summer film school. So in addition to a movie theater, you're going to be getting a great neighbor and incredible community partner. So I'm just really excited about this expansion and I know they'll have a great impact on on this area. So thank you for allowing us to speak. Thank you, Mr. Shame. That concludes our speakers. Time for questions of members of the Council. Councilwoman Ortega. I'd like to ask Tracy Huggins if she wouldn't mind coming to the microphone. So Tracey, for anybody that is watching who has not been involved in this process, can you explain why we have two separate tax increment districts for what may seem as one project to people looking at it from the outside? Certainly. And in fact, this came to us as one project initially for the entirety of the block, but there were a number of unique challenges with the type of development that was looking to occur that caused the development team to actually split it into two separate projects as such. Each of them have made a request for tax increment assistance through the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and we will be entering into discrete redevelopment agreements with each of those entities. So with Lyttleton Capital Partners as well as with the The Alamo, we are look, because each project is looking to generate its own increment to pay for its own level of expenses. That's why we're looking to have the two separate sales tax increment areas so that they each will be able to take that as a benefit that which they themselves create. In addition, as I said, they will be sharing in the broader property tax increment area that is being created throughout the balance of the site . But it really is because there are they are two separate projects with two separate re developers, each looking to benefit from the sales tax increment that they themselves generate. I'm not sure if you're the right person to answer a question about the parking. So both of these projects are proposing to use part of the parking in the garage that is still existing on the site. And so my question is what other parcels or properties that have already come forward are proposing to use that same garage ? I know, for example, the theater will probably be most highly utilized in the evening when the office building and other uses on the site may not be available. So that probably makes sense. But can you just talk about that for sure? The the other primary user of the parking garage will be new residential development that is occurring on what would be one, two, three, four, block five with the parking garage being on block six. So BLOCK five is currently under redevelopment of four new rental residential units. That will be the primary user of that, the balance of the parking garage. And that's the property that is to the north of the garage. That's under construction. To the. East. Of the garage. Okay. What would you like me to put on the map? That would be helpful. Let me see if I can do that. As I. As I say that. And I just click to. Show the only other user of the garage besides these two projects that we're reviewing tonight, the residential. And as. Far. As I know, I'm looking for two other nods in the audience. Yes. That it would be the the residential as well as in the commercial uses on block seven. Okay. So, Councilwoman Ortega, this is a obviously an older picture, but you can see where it says BLOCK. Six where the. Parking structure is located. Again, the topic of our conversation tonight is block seven. BLOCK five is the site that is currently under construction for the residential with the residential development. Okay. Thank you. I have no further questions. Thank you, Councilwoman Ortega. Councilman Rob. Well, that was a very serious question. My question is for the representative from Alamo free movies in the summer for kids and their parents. Absolutely. Every day, the summer when the kids are out on summer break prior to noon, we schedule a free family film where parents and kids can come and watch free in the theater. Okay. That was a commercial time for you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Kathryn Moran, Catwoman Fox, thank you. Also for Mr. de France here. They don't go far. It's interesting to find out about these free summer movies because one of the concerns I had followed a comment by the district councilwoman last week about the importance of having family friendly development in northwest Denver and around the Sloan's Lake. And when I did some research about the movie chain, I discovered that the admission and age policy, by and large not entirely, but by and large, was truly not designed for an area with children. The stated policy that I saw was age policy 18 and up. Children six and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under age of six will be allowed. And then there was also reference in the Littleton one to the dinner package with a movie that restricted everybody to age 21. So I'm trying to figure out I mean, this may be is your way of balancing things, but it does not appear that this is a theater really designed for attracting children. Yeah, I could understand your concern by reading the policies. First of all, it's children under six are not permitted in a PG movie, a rated PG movie. Children under six are permitted with their parents. So so we don't completely shut them out. And secondly, Alamo Drafthouse is a family theater. We are not a theater where parents come and drop off their teenagers and drop off their kids to hang out and to loiter and to watch movies. We focus on the movie experience as being a family event, and we provide a nice text free talk, free environment in which families can watch movies together. And we focus on family programing. We play first run films, all the latest Hollywood Pixar movies and, you know, Family and children repertory titles. We play those as well with regards to our food and beverage service. Yes, we do serve alcohol and we do have a strict policy when serving food and alcohol to make sure that everybody in the theater is accompanied by an adult. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman. That's Councilwoman Sheppard. Thank you, Mr. President. I've been doing a lot of research on the West Colfax corridor, and I know that the rates of poverty are extremely high as well as unemployment. So Mr. De Franzia referenced the hundred and 50 jobs that he hopes to create on the site. And for those who may be watching or in the audience whose ears perked up at the opportunity for some jobs in the site. Tracy. Ms.. Huggins, I was hoping you can explain the first source hiring policy. I would be happy to. Thank you for asking me to do exactly that. So any project that receives tax increment assistance through the urban redevelopment, through the Urban Renewal Authority, is required to comply with our first source hiring policy, which is a program that is designed to allow for the first opportunity to interview for any job that is created as a result of the project to be made available to low income Denver residents. So we work very closely with the Denver Housing Authority, who then works with the developers first source project coordinator to make sure that all of those job postings. Are are. Known and made available again from a first opportunity standpoint to low income Denver residents. Thank you. All right. Do we have any other questions for 1099? Seen none. Public hearing on 299 is not closed. Time for comments, Councilwoman Sheppard. Thank you, Mr. President. So we were talking earlier about how blighted the West Colfax corridor and how the condition of that street has been such for about 50 to 60 years. And currently on that street and I've spent a lot of time on that street, there is an incredible plethora of boarded up, abandoned buildings, vacant parking lots , payday lenders, tattoo parlors, more used car lots than you can shake a stick at. I don't know how many used cars one can buy in a year and a bunch of Route 66 era motels that definitely have seen better days. This, I believe, will be an exciting opportunity to revitalize this court. I'm very excited about this project. I know that. And Councilman Lopez and I talk about this a lot in north and west Denver, we lose so much of our tax dollars to shopping opportunities and Jeffco entertainment opportunities in Jeffco and other services, because so many of our residents travel to Jefferson County, to the Belmar area to receive things that we really want to see happening in Denver. I know that the few times I've gone to a movie when I have time, which is really rare, I've also driven to Belmar. So I'm excited about this opportunity because I think this gives a great, great chance for people who already live in our neighborhood to to to dine and have a craft beer and a scratch made meal and enjoy a great movie right in our neighborhood. And I can actually walk to this place I'm pretty excited about that might be a bit of a long walk, but I could walk. So I'm very excited about that. I'm excited about the fact that it's well-served by public transportation, such as the West Colfax Bus and also our new West Corridor light rail. And I am excited that yet another vacated lot, which is currently kind of a weeded out parking lot, will have the opportunity to be redeveloped into something that is really something that we can all be proud of. And I've had the opportunity to get to know the good folks from Alamo over the last year and have interacted with them as well as some of the nonprofits in our area. And, you know, thank you for already hosting a wonderful, very family oriented outdoor summer movie on the shores of Sloan's Lake last year. I can't remember the name of it, but it's pretty funny. And and to donate some of the proceeds from the sales of the concessions to one of our area nonprofits, and I know you've also already had some conversations with various community partners about what types of film festivals you might want to sponsor at that location. So I am excited about the revitalization opportunity. I'm excited about doing something for, you know, a really underutilized, blighted area on West Colfax quarter. I'm excited about the opportunity for some new jobs and and I'm excited about the way that you partner with the community. So I am very happy to support this tonight, and I would urge my colleagues to do so as well. Thank you, Councilwoman Shepherd. Councilwoman Fox. Thank you, Mr. President. Just perfunctorily, I'm making the motions tonight, and I made the motion on this particular ordinance, but it is not something I personally support in committee. I asked whether the Littleton Alamo Drafthouse had received TIFF money, the tax increment financing money, and the answer was no. It was explained to me that it was a different business model. I've long said I support tax increment financing in some cases, but each proposal has to stand on its own merits. It is not, in my opinion, the taxpayer's responsibility to subsidize a movie theater and drafthouse. I do want to thank Dora for making all the information about their proposals accessible to me. To its credit, much of the of this Saint Anthony redevelopment does not require TIFF money, and I think that's very important. I was pleased for that. I'm also pleased that they were willing to let me take a peek at something very important to me. I've looked at the confidential financials for Alamo, and if projections are right long term, I believe this endeavor can make it without taxpayer subsidies. And so I'll be voting against this TIFF proposal. Thank you, Councilwoman Fides. Councilman Lopez. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think a lot of what. Councilman Sheppard. Had expressed the same sentiments that I have along West Colfax. I think this is one of the first developments that are going to pop up that's really going to spur activity along West Colfax. Those of you who are familiar with the west side of the city, in the west side of the river, there's not much development out there. And, you know, Councilman is right and Councilman Shepard's right. You know, we do not have very many areas. We do not see blight and you do not see weeds growing instead of landscaped. Right. Always. You know, it's it's a good thing to see this happen. This neighborhood needs it. The it's not just about jobs. It's not just about economic development, but it's also about folks getting a return on their investment when they go to the bank and borrow against their home to send a kid. College should be worth something, right? They should have some equity, right? Folks on the west side of Denver should be able to have capital as well. Right. And that's what developments help do and that's what it helps spur. And I think this is one of those examples. It's long overdue. You know, West Colfax, you know, although you do have the the the old school motel motels, it does have that Route 66 flavor. That's where we that's not where I did. But I cruised federal back in the day. But before that, it was cool facts and you still have that. And we have to remember that in Denver that, yes, you have an East and West Colfax and whether it is certain amenities, you know, that come from the city that we are able to take care of on our own or things that we have to leverage active financing to make it happen, it's there. And, you know, my hat's off to the Alamo. You know, they came to us very early on to the community, actually. And at first, we were kind of a little weirded out because, you know, you cannot you can't bring in the name like the Alamo to a highly Chicano neighborhood. Man, that's a bad name, right? And so they said, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't have anything to do with the Alamo. And I said it means tree, right? Poplar tree? Absolutely. Exactly. And so hopefully there's a lot of trees on that site, but it is going to help spur that that development. And, you know, it may not be one of those Elvis theaters that I went to as a kid over in southwest Denver. You drop you off, get in a fight, you know, come back home, pay it all. But you're laughing because you know it's true. But it is meeting a need in that area town. I like Bill Maher, but I wish Bill Maher was in Denver. Because if I had a choice. Nothing against Lakewood. Love Lakewood. It's nice Home Depot's down the street, but I'd rather go to the one in Denver. Why? Because it's important to invest in your own neighborhoods and in your own city. Because of the youths are our youth are going to be employed. There's a lot of folks that are going to be employed there. It's our side of the city and we need to invest in it. And so, you know, I would love to see development happen there that would keep people and keep dollars in Denver instead of taking it out. So, Councilman, this is going to be awesome and I do support this from moving forward. Thank you, Councilman Lopez. Councilwoman Robb. Thank you, Mr. President. Since Councilman Lopez mentioned East Colfax, thank you for reminding me there's a West End in East Colfax. I would like to just point out, I know it's not my colleague, Councilwoman Ford's favorite project, but all evening, as I've listened to this, I've been thinking about the Lowenstein Theater, a site that was vacant for 20 years on Colfax. And we've struggled. It was it was hard to redevelop. It was financially hard to redevelop. But just to give you an example, the key word to me in this proposal tonight in front of us is the word catalyst. That's the only TIFF project funding we did along Colfax. And since then, we've had two new grocery stores on East Colfax, a new Office Depot, a new liquor store, no tax increment in the liquor store. Many new businesses, including Stella, a restaurant that I think maybe came from that, the West, Northwest, Tiki Monk, Sassafras, also opening along Colfax. I could really go on in a very long list. So this is a hard site. We have people who came in willing to do the clean up, the planning, a lot of the entitlement work. But the risk of having this site sit vacant is a huge risk because of what else is on East Colfax. I will be supporting this tonight. Excuse me, what else is on West Colfax? Thank you, Councilwoman Robb. Councilwoman Ortega. Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to add my $0.02 here as well. I actually grew up in my high school years to the neighborhood just south of this. And it's been that long since we had not seen the kind of investment on the West Colfax corridor. I remember Councilman Garcia when he was the councilman of that area, working really hard to begin to see some revitalization of the West Colfax corridor. And Councilman Councilwoman Robb used the word catalyst. I was going to use the word anchor anchor tenant and that's what I see. The Alamo. As for the Colfax corridor, I sit on the board of a nonprofit that did the housing Colfax in Irving, and we've seen the city invest in that, as well as the new library that will soon be opening. We heard maybe sometime in February, the end of February. They also invested in the project at the West End, done by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. So as we see the need for affordable housing in our city, we've seen some city investment in that. And we will see both market rate and some affordable housing as part of this St Anthony's redevelopment site. But all of that is bringing even more more bodies, more synergy to the community, as well as all of the residents that live both north and south of Colfax. I'm excited about having this theater on Colfax because it's a missing link for our community and the other type of investment that will be made, bringing in more restaurants and other things that I think will continue to help spur other investment along the West Colfax corridor. We've seen some of that happening with some city assistance. I think this project will help us see some of that happening just with private investment that will want to come and be part of this corridor. So I am happy to support both of these bills tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Councilwoman Ortega, any other comments? 1099 Scene on Madam Secretary, Roll call. SHEPHERD Hi, Susman. Brooks Hi. Brown I know. And each. Lehman Hi. Lopez Hi, Monteiro.
