At its regular bi-monthly meetings, the El Paso County Planning Commission (EPCPC) heard two requests regarding issues in Northern El Paso County.

On March 5, Red Rock Subdivision GTG Redrock LLC requested approval of a 14.958-acre Final Plat creating five single-family lots. The site is south of Highway 105 between Red Rock Ranch Drive and Rockbrook Road. The requested lots have a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and will be on individual wells and on-site septic systems. There was a Request for Continuance to March 19 for time to complete all conditions and reports. The EPCPC approved the request at the March 26 meeting for a hearing to be set for April 9 for the El Paso Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).

Accessibility Adjustments

Powered by OneTap

Accessibility Commitment for Our Community News, Inc.

At Our Community News, Inc., we are committed to making our digital presence as accessible and inclusive as reasonably possible for all users, including individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to improve the usability of wp.ocn.me and to support a more accessible experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use.

Our Approach to Accessibility

We aim to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which define internationally recognized standards for digital accessibility. While full compliance cannot always be guaranteed, we strive to implement improvements where feasible and regularly review accessibility-related aspects of our website. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to improving the experience over time as technologies, standards, and user needs evolve.

Accessibility Features

To support accessibility, wp.ocn.me may utilize tools such as the OneTap accessibility toolbar. This interface provides users with a range of helpful features, including:
  • Adjustable text size and contrast settings
  • Dark mode for those who prefer that presentation
  • Highlighting of links and text for better visibility
  • Quick launch via keyboard shortcut: Alt + . (Windows) or ⌘ + . (Mac)
Please note the following:
  • The availability and effectiveness of these features depend on the website's configuration and ongoing maintenance.
  • While we strive to ensure accessibility, we cannot guarantee that every part of wp.ocn.me will be fully accessible at all times. Some content may be provided by third parties or affected by technical constraints beyond our immediate control.

Accessibility Tools

We implemented an accessibility icon on the upper right of the screen. It is a figure with arms and legs outstretched in a dark gray circle. Clicking on the accessibility icon will open a toolbar with many options to adjust the text and the screen. We also implemented a dark mode tool, which appears to the left of the accessibility icon as a smaller circle that initially is half-gray and half yellow indicating the screen will adjust to the system’s dark mode setting. Clicking on the dark mode tool will switch it to a sun icon meaning light mode. Clicking again will switch it to a moon icon meaning dark mode. Clicking again brings it back to half-and-half. If the accessibility tools are obstructing something you want to view, you can open the accessibility toolbar and select "Hide toolbar." Leave the setting at the default of “Only for this session” and click Hide Toolbar. That will reveal a small dark circle containing a minus sign. If you click on the minus sign, the dark mode tool will be removed and the minus will change to a plus. Click on the plus sign to bring back the accessibility icon and the dark mode tool.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback. If you experience any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us: Email: johnheiser@ocn.me We are committed to reviewing all inquiries and aim to respond within 3–5 business days. If you require assistance accessing any part of this website, we are happy to provide support through alternative channels upon request. Last updated: November 3, 2025
