City Council Meetings Cancelled; Planning Commission Reviews Banning Lewis Ranch Proposal
No formal decisions were made by city bodies in the past two weeks as a pair of Colorado Springs City Council sessions were cancelled and the City Planning Commission met only for an informal review of land-use applications. The highlights of the work session included a major master-plan amendment for more than 500 acres in Banning Lewis Ranch.
Cancelled Meetings
The City Council’s scheduled work session on June 22 and its regular meeting on June 23 were both cancelled. No reasons were given in the agendas. Because no meetings convened, the council took no votes on any matters.
Planning Commission Work Session
The City Planning Commission gathered on July 2 for a work session to examine several proposals. No votes were taken; final decisions are expected at a future regular meeting. The agenda included:
- **Banning Lewis Ranch Village B2/C master plan modification and rezoning**: A request to amend the master plan and rezone approximately 500 acres to allow residential and commercial development.
- **Buckingham Drive rezone**: A proposal to rezone 7.79 acres from Business Park to Light Industrial.
- **Mark Dabling Boulevard rezone**: A request to rezone 5.41 acres at 5325 Mark Dabling Boulevard from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Medium Scale.
- **Airport Road conditional use**: Liberty Logistics seeking approval for warehousing operations at 5930–6180 Airport Road.
- **West Colorado Avenue parking variance**: La Kitchen requesting a variance for parking at 2001 West Colorado Avenue.
All items remain under review. Minutes of the work session have not yet been published.
