More than 1,000 homes now can be built on a sliver of the massive Banning Lewis Ranch with a rezoning approved Tuesday by the Colorado Springs City Council. The move, opposed by Councilwoman Yolanda Avila and Councilman Bill Murray, comes as the next major step for Denver-based Oakwood Homes, which owns a 2,600-acre section of the ranch. Nor'wood Development Group owns about 18,000 acres there. Oakwood's portion, broken into six sections dubbed Village 1-6, will have parks, trails and schools. Village 1 is nearly complete, said Josh Rowland, a planner for Oakwood consultant LAI Design Group, and work on Village 2 is about half finished. Tuesday's council approval means work can start at Village 3, a 284-acre plot south of Dublin Boulevard and west of the as-yet-unbuilt Banning Lewis Ranch Parkway.
