The Colorado Springs City Planning Commission met on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM in Hearing Room at 2880 International Circle. Eight of nine commissioners were present (Commissioner Gigiano absent for morning items, later joined online). The meeting covered three quasi-judicial items: one consent calendar item, a development standards adjustment called off consent, an unfinished business parking variance, and a new business use variance. All items were approved, with two votes of 8-1 and one 8-0-1.
Good morning. Good morning. If you all are here to speak on an item, please make sure you sign in at the table and indicate, put your name and indicate uh your position, whether it's your support or opposed of an item. If you were here just to observe, you do not need to sign in. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to come ask myself on Melissa or Solange at the table over here. I'm going to call the Colorado Springs City Planning Commission public hearing for August 12th, 2026 to order. The planning commission is comprised of nine members appointed by city council to review various development applications and proposals. Planning commissioners are community volunteers with expertise across a wide variety of areas. Each commissioner acts independently and carefully assesses all the information and evidence presented to make their decision. City planning staff facilitates the process for applications. Some applications require the planning commission to be the final decision authority, and for others, the planning commission is a recommendation body to the city council. Throughout the hearing, we will require that everyone conduct themselves respectfully. Understand others may have views different from your own. Speaking out of order when not recognized, and using and the use of profanity will not be tolerated. For items presented on today's agenda, the city planning staff will give a presentation on the application, followed by the applicant, who will have 30 minutes to present the details of the application. For any items that are being heard on appeal today, the appellant and applicant will be given equal time. Public comment will be taken after the presentations, starting with public comments in support of the application, followed by comments in opposition of the application. Each citizen will have three minutes to speak, and please keep your comments brief and focused on the issues at hand and respect other attendees' rights to both be to both listen and be heard. Once public comment is complete, the applicant will have a rebuttal period of 10 minutes to respond to and to respond to and address any comments. And at the conclusion of the applicant's rebuttal, the discussion will move to the dais for commissioner consideration. Solange, could you do our uh roll call, please? Chair Hansler here. Commissioner Robbins. Here. Commissioner Clements. Here. Commissioner Didiano. Commissioner Willoughby. Here. Commissioner Case. Here. Commissioner Engel. Here. Commissioner Cecil. Here.
