Lone Tree accuses state of overreach on local land‑use decisions - Denver7

AI Summary

The City of Lone Tree is disagreeing with the state government. Lone Tree officials say the state is making new laws that take away their power to make decisions about land use and building rules. Mayor Marissa Harmon said these laws make it easier for developers to build without the city's approval. She also said the city might not be able to control how many people can live in a building. Lone Tree plans to use its local power, called a Home Rule Charter, to ignore these state laws. This will allow the city to keep making its own decisions about what gets built and where.
