ANNOTATION
Law reviews. For article, "Terminating Common Interest Communities with Horizontal Boundaries under CCIOA", see 51 Colo. Law. 40 (June 2022).
The presumption that statutes apply prospectively is overcome because subsection (1) expressly provides for application to all common interest communities created before July 1, 1992. Giguere v. SJS Family Enters., 155 P.3d 462 (Colo. App. 2006).
Although subsection (1) does not list several statutory sections as applying to common interest communities created before July 1, 1992, some sections not listed may be referenced to determine whether the statute permits the substantive result to be accomplished by an amendment because the sections listed in subsection (1) are limited to procedural issues. Giguere v. SJS Family Enters., 155 P.3d 462 (Colo. App. 2006).
Town's actions in attempting to enforce provision of 1987 municipal ordinance imposing restrictions on units converted to condominiums is, of necessity, an event and circumstance occurring on or after July 1, 1992, triggering application of the anti-discrimination clause under § 38-33.3-106 (2). Further, § 38-33.3-106 (2) retroactively applies. The plain meaning of an "event and circumstance" under this section unambiguously includes the court's actions in seeking to enforce the 1987 ordinance. Town of Vail v. Vill. Inn Plaza-Phase V, 2021 COA 108, 498 P.3d 1123.
Subsection (1)(g) makes the award of attorney fees to a prevailing party under § 38-33.3-123 (1)(c) applicable to a civil action concerning a common interest declaration that predated the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act when the civil action involves events and circumstances occurring on or after July 1, 1992. Accetta v. Brooks Towers Condo. Ass'n, 2021 COA 147M-2, 506 P.3d 857.
