Presenter:

Lynette Crow-Iverson, Council President and Councilmember At-Large

Attachments: 09232025 Appointment to PPLD

09232025 PPLD Kuniyuki Resume

President Crow-Iverson introduced the Appointments to Pikes Peak

Library District Board (PPLD) of Trustees.

Citizens Pam Maier, Veronica Baker, Joe Pelka, Jacquie Ostrom,

Katherine Czukas, Brooke Graves, Jennifer Walker, Stephanie Vigil, and

Karla Powers spoke in opposition of the appointment process of Kaname

“Kenny” Kuniyuki to the PPLD Board of Trustees.

Ben Bolinger, Legislative Counsel, City Attorney’s Office, provided an

outline of the legal nomination process.

Councilmember Williams stated appointments to this board are difficult

due to the requirements of the State of Colorado, but the process followed

those guidelines.

Councilmember Leinweber stated he is opposed to the closing of the

Rockrimmon library, hopes there will be a community library added to that

area, and will be supporting the appointment of Mr. Kuniyuki.

Councilmember Gold stated City Council has an obligation to the public

and even though Mr. Kuniyuki is a great candidate, she would like to delay

the process to maintain the trust of the public.

Councilmember Bailey stated he believes a postponement may be an

attempt for people to delay or stall the process, he supports the process,

which took a very long time and was reviewed by very qualified people, as

well as the nomination of Mr. Kuniyuki.

Councilmember Henjum stated this is a very important board which

manages a large amount of taxpayer dollars, and she will be voting against

this appointment.

Councilmember Donelson stated delaying or voting against this item would

restore the trust in City Council, reversing the initial decision would

demonstrate to the El Paso County Board of Commissioners that there is

no need to compromise, an application process for the PPLD Board of

Trustees is already currently opening up due to another vacant position

which would provide a fair process of a new batch of applications in which

Mr. Kuniyuki could reapply, and if approved, this would cause even more

confusion and further erode citizen trust in the process.

Councilmember Rainey asked if there are any State Statutes restricting the

Joint Appointment Committee (JAC) meeting which occurred after the

nomination of Mr. Kuniyuki. Mr. Bolinger stated there are not.

Motion by President Pro Tem Risley, seconded by Councilmember

Leinweber, that the City Council Appointments to Boards, Commissions,

and Committees be approved. The motion passed by a vote of 6-3-0-0

Signed Ordinance No. 25-75.pdf

William Gray, Senior Planner, Planning Department, presented Ordinance

No. 25-75 amending the zoning map of the City pertaining to 7,000 square

feet located at 2402 North Nevada Avenue from R-2 (Two-Family) to MX-N

(Mixed-Use Neighborhood Scale). He provided a brief overview of the

vicinity, zoning, project summary, rezoning map, timeline of review,

stakeholder involvement, application review criteria, and optional motions.

Mechelle Haradon, Moxi Suites, LLC, Representing the applicant,

identified the request for zone change, location, characteristics of the site,

main floor plan, upper floor plan, City Land Use Plan, media coverage, and

how the facility serves the community.

Citizen Steve Evans spoke in support of the project.

Citizens Dutch Schultz and Mike Anderson, Old North End Neighborhood

Board of Directors, spoke in opposition of the proposed rezoning.

Ms. Haradon stated they definitely want this to be compatible to the

neighborhood, the size of the lot would limit the permitted uses allowed in

the MX-N Zone, as a massage therapist, she wants to be in compliance

with the City’s regulations, and submitting a Conditional Use application is

the next step in the process.

President Pro Tem Risley asked if it is standard to include opinion pieces

from the Gazette in the Agenda Packet. Mr. Gray stated they included it

because it was a public comment regarding the project which they include

in Agenda Packets.

President Pro Tem Risley requested additional information regarding the

Conditional Uses. Mr. Gray provided an overview of the Conditional Uses

which would be allowed and those which would not be permitted.

President Pro Tem Risley asked if approval of a Conditional Use or

Development Plan could be appealed to City Council. Mr. Gray confirmed it

could.

President Pro Tem Risley asked how this project was noticed to the public.

Mr. Gray stated neighbors within 1,000 feet of the project were notified.

President Pro Tem Risley requested the size of the lot. Mr. Gray stated the

property is 7,000 square feet with a 3,500 buildable footprint.

President Pro Tem Risley requested the building height limit for both

zones. Mr. Gray stated the limit is thirty-five feet for the R-2 Zone and

forty-five feet for the MX-Zone.

President Pro Tem Risley stated he believes this request is very

reasonable and in character with the neighborhood.

Councilmember Henjum asked what has triggered the request for the

rezone since it has been used in the same fashion for many years. Mr. Gray

stated the applicant wants to be in compliance with the City’s Land Use

Code to use the property as a small personal and business service use

which is prohibited in the current zone.

Councilmember Henjum asked what uses the opposition are opposed to.

Mr. Anderson stated they believe a Use Variance is the better way to

address this and not rezone the property. Ms. Haradon stated a Use

Variance would not put her business in full compliance with City Code.

Councilmember Donelson asked why the Use Variance would not be

appropriate in this situation. Mr. Gray stated a Use Variance is authorized

when an unnecessary hardship resulting from strict enforcement of

regulations and is not applicable if the use is a higher intensity and less

restrictive.

Councilmember Donelson asked if City Council can restrict certain uses

from the MX-N zone for this property. Mr. Bolinger confirmed Conditions of

Record could be placed on a zone to restrict the use and recommended

obtaining the property owner’s approval of those restrictions.

Councilmember Donelson asked if the opponents had a list of restrictions

they would like to add. Mr. Anderson stated they will provide that

information. Ms. Haradon stated she would be willing to meet with the

opponents regarding those restrictions.

Councilmember Williams stated she supports Conditions of Record in

order to balance what the applicant and the neighbor would be agreeable

to.

Councilmember Bailey stated rather than continuing to postpone items

which have opposition, these types of amendments should be addressed

before City Council is voting on them, and if the applicant changes the use

of the property, there will need to be approval of a Development Plan.

Motion by Councilmember Donelson, seconded by Councilmember Gold,

that the Ordinance be postponed to 2:00 PM today. The motion failed by a

vote of 4-5-0-0
