Colorado Springs City Council deadlocks over carports

The Colorado Springs City Council deadlocked Tuesday on whether to legalize carports in front of homes and ultimately came to no decision after hours of persuasive arguments from residents concerned allowing carports across the city could hurt historic neighborhoods and residents in need of carports to protect their property.  The council had seemed poised to allow carports this week after a recent informal discussion, but the new Historic Neighborhoods Partnership seemed to convince some board members to look closer at more stringent rules to protect the architecture and character of older neighborhoods. The board will likely take the issue up again informally after failing to agree to postpone a vote on carports and failing to agree to legalize the structures. The board voted 4 to 4 twice. They tied on a vote to delay the issue and to legalize the structures, meaning both motions failed. Councilman Richard Skorman was absent leading to the deadlocked votes.

(KRDO) Hundreds if not thousands of carport owners have waited and hoped for changes in the city s ordinance regulating the structures, and the next step in that process was taken Thursday. Mitch Hammes, manager of the city s Neighborhood Services office, presented the Planning Commission with a draft of proposed amendment changes. Hammes said that the draft contains around a dozen changes mainly focusing on limiting the size of carports, listing the materials that can be used in construction and properly anchoring the structures so that they don t blow away and cause property damage.
