Body
Summary:
Owner: Rights-of-Way owned by City of Colorado Springs; private property owned by Norris Ranch Joint Venture, LLC
Representative: Vertex
Location: Along existing Bradley Road and northwest of the Bradley Road and Curtis Road intersection.
This project includes concurrent applications for annexation, establishment of zoning, and a Land Use Plan for the associated 1,912.62-acres located northwest of the Bradley Road and Curtis Road intersection. The land use plan illustrates the proposed land use configuration, access and circulation, intended infrastructure and overall intent. The proposed zoning will establish an A/SS-O (Agriculture with Streamside Overlay) zone district as a holding zone with the overall annexation to allow for a flag-pole annexation consisting of 151.88 acres as City owned rights-of-way and 1,760.74 of the developer owned property.
Previous Council Action:
On September 27, 2022, City Council accepted the original petition for annexation. On October 7, 2024 an information presentation for the Annexation Policy Checkpoint was held with City Council. On December 10, 2024, City Council accepted an updated Petition. On December 10, 2024, City Council approved a resolution finding the Karman Line Addition No. 1-6 Annexation petition(s) to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. section 31-12-107, setting a public hearing date of January 14, 2025 to consider the annexation, and directing the City Clerk to provide notice of the hearing in accordance with C.R.S. section 31-12-108. On January 14, 2025 City Council initially approved all items, however, there is an amendment to the Annexation Agreement requiring an amendment to Resolution No. 08-25.

City Council Appointed Board/Commission/Committee Recommendation:
This item was heard before City Planning Commission on December 11, 2024 as part of the New Business, Public Hearing agenda. The Planning Commission voted on a 4-3-1-1 to recommend approval, with Commissioners Cecil, Gigiano, and Slattery voting against, Commissioner Sipilovic recused, and Commissioner Foos absent. Those voting against had the following objections; Commissioner Cecil - the logical extension of the City boundary and utilizing rights-of-way to ‘leap frog’ and possibly creating enclaves; Commissioner Gigiano - police response time, neighbors that do not want this in the area; Commissioner Slattery - while a flag-pole is allowed by State Statutes does not necessarily make it logical, compatibility with surrounding area as the area is mostly rural, response times.
