CO Code § 24-56-107 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 56 - Relocation Assistance and Land Acquisition Policies|§ 24-56-107. Assurance of Availability of Standard Housing

  Whenever a displacing agency acquires real property for a program or project for which federal financial assistance will be available to pay all or any part of the cost of the program or project and such acquisition will result in the displacement of any person, upon recommendation or approval of the displacing agency, such agency shall assure that a person shall not be required to move from a dwelling unless the person has had a reasonable opportunity to relocate to a comparable replacement dwelling; except that regulations issued pursuant to section 24-56-108 may prescribe situations when these assurances may be waived.    If a program or project for which federal financial assistance is available cannot proceed to actual construction because comparable replacement sale or rental housing is not available and the state agency determines that such housing cannot otherwise be made available, upon recommendation or approval of the displacing agency, the state agency may take such action as is necessary or appropriate to provide such housing by use of funds authorized for such project. The displacing agency may use this section to exceed the maximum amounts which can be paid by a displacing agency under sections 24-56-104 and 24-56-105 on a case-by-case basis for good cause shown as determined in accordance with regulations issued pursuant to section 24-56-108.

 Where an inverse condemnation proceeding is instituted by the owner of any right, title, or interest in real property because of the alleged taking of his property for any program or project for which federal financial assistance will be available to pay all or any part of the cost of the program or project, the court rendering a judgment for the plaintiff in such proceeding and awarding compensation for the taking of property or the attorney for the acquiring agency effecting a settlement of any such proceeding shall determine and award or allow to such plaintiff, as a part of such judgment or settlement, such sum as will, in the opinion of the court or such attorney, reimburse such plaintiff for his reasonable costs, disbursements, and expenses, including reasonable attorney, appraisal, and engineering fees actually incurred because of such proceeding.

 This article shall apply to all acquisitions of real property by a state agency or a political subdivision of the state for a program or project for which federal financial assistance will be available to pay all or any part of the cost of the program or project; except that, if any other provision of state law is applicable to such acquisitions and such provision of state law requires relocation payments and assistance or prescribes land acquisition policies which are equivalent to or are greater or more stringent than the payments, assistance, or policies specified by this article, such other provision of state law shall apply to such acquisitions.   Source: L. 71: p. 680, § 1. C.R.S. 1963: § 69-10-21 .   ANNOTATION   An examination of the legislative history, read with attention to the structure of the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act and its state counterpart, demonstrates that congress and general assembly did not intend "acquisition" to mean property purchased from an owner that places its property on the market of its own volition and sells without coercion. Understanding the act's ambit to exclude voluntary open-market purchases is consonant with its aim of protecting individual property owners from the superior negotiating position that the federal government or state and local governments enjoy. Reg'l Transp. Dist. v. Outdoor Sys., Inc., 34 P.3d 408 (Colo. 2001).   The acquisition at issue has all of the markings of a bargained-for real estate transaction in which the seller willingly offered to sell its property. Because RTD bought property on the market for land-banking purposes, purchased the parcel from a willing seller without improperly leveraging its dominant bargaining position, and paid a market price, the statutory provisions designed to protect unwilling sellers are inapplicable. Reg'l Transp. Dist. v. Outdoor Sys., Inc., 34 P.3d 408 (Colo. 2001).   As a threshold matter, an agency must acquire property for "a program or project for which federal assistance will be made available" before it becomes obligated under the federal and state acts to obtain an equal interest in any structures or improvements located on the property. In this case, the parcel was not purchased for a program or project for which federal funds would become available. Therefore, regional transportation district was not required to acquire an equal interest in the billboards and owes Outdoor Systems no compensation for removing them. Accordingly, RTD did not contravene its promises to the federal transit administration that it would abide by the structures of the federal and state acts. Reg'l Transp. Dist. v. Outdoor Sys., Inc., 34 P.3d 408 (Colo. 2001).

  The general assembly hereby:   Finds that sub-section (D) of article VI of the "Intergovernmental Agreement between the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the State of Colorado Concerning Air Quality Control on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation" originally specified that if federal legislation authorizing the treatment of the tribe as a state for federal "Clean Air Act" purposes was not enacted by December 13, 2002, then the agreement would become null and void;    Determines that, pursuant to sub-section (B) of article XIII of the agreement, the parties to the agreement modified sub-section (D) of article VI of the agreement in December 2001, December 2002, and December 2003, to extend for one year the deadline for passage of the federal legislation, and the final deadline for such passage according to the agreement as modified is December 13, 2004; and    Declares that, whereas the federal legislation contemplated by the agreement, "The Southern Ute and Colorado Intergovernmental Agreement Implementation Act of 2004" (P.L. 108-336), was approved on October 18, 2004, the contingency contemplated by sub-section (D) of article VI of the agreement and section 25-7-1309 (1)(c), C.R.S., is moot.

 As used in this article, unless the context otherwise requires:    "Common open space" means a parcel of land, an area of water, or a combination of land and water within the site designated for a planned unit development designed and intended primarily for the use or enjoyment of residents, occupants, and owners of the planned unit development.    "Plan" means the provisions for development of a planned unit development, which may include, and need not be limited to, easements, covenants, and restrictions relating to use, location, and bulk of buildings and other structures, intensity of use or density of development, utilities, private and public streets, ways, roads, pedestrian areas, and parking facilities, common open space, and other public facilities. "Provisions of the plan" means the written and graphic materials referred to in this definition.    "Planned unit development" means an area of land, controlled by one or more landowners, to be developed under unified control or unified plan of development for a number of dwelling units, commercial, educational, recreational, or industrial uses, or any combination of the foregoing, the plan for which does not correspond in lot size, bulk, or type of use, density, lot coverage, open space, or other restriction to the existing land use regulations.     Source: L. 72: p. 509, § 1. C.R.S. 1963: § 106-6-3 .   ANNOTATION   Amended planned unit development (PUD) created an express path easement to subdivision homeowners that was not precluded by previously recorded conservation deed and is superior to title of adverse landowner. Initial PUD establishes a common development plan and it suffices to enforce a servitude shown in the plan documents. For a plat involving a PUD or other common development plan to create an easement, it need not contain the word "easement". Nor is the absence of a metes and bounds description of the path significant. Bolinger v. Neal, 259 P.3d 1259 (Colo. App. 2010).
