The first was a Ben Lomand Mountain Village rezoning to Residential Rural (RR 2.5 acres). It was recommended for approval at the Planning Commission on March 20. The map amendment rezones 341.10 acres from RR-5 to RR-2.5. The property is in Commissioner District 3, just west of Palmer Divide Road and Indi Drive and at Palmer Divide Road and Spruce Mountain Road. The project was approved 5-0.
The second was a request from New Breed Ranch Inc. for approval of a Final Plat to create seven single-family residential lots. The 34.7-acre portion of 279.07 acres is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). It is just east of Shoup Road and Highway 83, north of the city limits of Colorado Springs. The item was recommended by the PC for approval March 20. The project was approved 5-0.
