Active Committee Items
City of Colorado Springs - Major Thoroughfare Plan (a component of ConnectCOS)
The Major Thoroughfare Plan gets approved by City Council by ordinance and is what HBA will have an interest in. This Plan is a map that shows the classification of existing and future roadways that have a classification of minor arterial and above. Once adopted future development will need to conform to the Major Thoroughfare Plan. The last time the Major Thoroughfare Plan was adopted by ordinance by Council was 2011.
HBA will have representatives on a stakeholder committee and will have opportunity to be involved in the development and review of both ConnectCOS and the Major Thoroughfare Plan. The stakeholder committee will be given a project schedule with major project milestones. Below are projected dates for deliverables and review:
El Paso County Land Use Master Plan
Virtual Advisory Committee meetings continue. A series of releases will be coming out for public input: June 29 – Areas of Change documents and video will be released. Mid July – presentation to BoCC and Planning Commission – possibly as a joint meeting.
Timeline: EO year, early 2021. EPC will make implementation recommendations that may include a county initiative rezoning for certain areas. The Master Plan has components that are 30+ years old.
Town of Monument - Land Development Code Project
The Town of Monument is updating its land development regulations. The project is organized into four phases: Code Diagnosis, Code Update, Zoning Map Update and Code and Map Adoption. Currently, a Land Use sub-committee is reviewing chapters 1 & 2 and will submit comments to the Town Planner at the end of July. To get involved in the review, contact HBA staff, Amanda DeMarco.
