Summary:
Owner: Joseph Coleman
Developer: Joseph Coleman
Representative: N.E.S. Inc.
Location: 1609 S. Cascade Ave.
An application to change the zoning of 1609 S. Cascade Ave. from the R2 (Two-Family Residential) zone district to the OR (Office Residential) zone district to allow the property to be used for office use. The site is located in a mixed-use area with commercial, office, lodging, entertainment, and single-family uses all in the immediate area.
Background:
The subject property is located in the Ivywild neighborhood just south of Downtown Colorado Springs. The area was platted and initially developed in the early 1900's. While much of the Ivywild area is zoned exclusively for single-family and two-family residential uses, the eastern edge of the area is a mix of zoning districts and uses. The Nevada corridor is nearly completely zoned C5 (Intermediate Business) and is primarily occupied by commercial and auto-oriented uses. The Tejon corridor, just west of Nevada, is also zoned C5 and occupied by commercial uses, but most businesses are slightly less intense with a number of converted residences making up a portion of the west side of the street. One block further west, S. Cascade Ave., is to some extent the dividing line between residential uses to the west and non-residential uses to the east. The primary exception to this, however, is the Ivywild School Commercial Center which is immediately west of S. Cascade Ave. between W. Navajo St. and Dorchester Dr.
The subject property has been owned by Joseph Coleman since 2005...
