Colorado Springs Planning Commission Reviews Banning Lewis Ranch Master Plan Changes
Colorado Springs saw little official action over the past two weeks, with two City Council meetings cancelled and the Planning Commission holding a work session to review a large proposed master plan modification on the city's east side.
City Council meetings cancelled
The City Council work session scheduled for June 22, 2026, and the regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 23, 2026, were both cancelled. No agenda items were taken up, and no minutes have been published for either meeting.
Planning Commission reviews Banning Lewis Ranch and several rezonings
On July 2, 2026, the City Planning Commission held a work session to review multiple land use applications and zoning changes. Because this was a work session and minutes have not yet been published, no formal decisions or vote tallies are available from the provided record.
The primary item on the agenda was a major modification to the Banning Lewis Ranch master plan, specifically the Village B2/C area. The proposal involves rezoning approximately 500 acres for residential and commercial use.
The commission also reviewed several smaller land use items:
- A rezone of 7.79 acres at Buckingham Drive from Business Park to Light Industrial.
- A rezone of 5.41 acres at 5325 Mark Dabling Boulevard from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Medium Scale.
- A conditional use request for Liberty Logistics warehousing at 5930–6180 Airport Road.
- A parking variance request for La Kitchen at 2001 West Colorado Avenue.
These items were listed for review and discussion at the work session. The provided record does not indicate what, if any, recommendations the commission made; minutes have not yet been published.
What this means for residents
The Banning Lewis Ranch proposal, if eventually approved by City Council, would guide residential and commercial development across roughly 500 acres on the city's east side. The smaller rezonings and conditional use requests each affect specific parcels and could shape what gets built at those locations. Because the July 2 session was a work session rather than a formal business meeting, and because minutes are not yet available, residents should watch for the commission's formal recommendations and any subsequent City Council action.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed in the provided record for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar for any newly posted agendas or rescheduled dates.
