Colorado Springs City Council wants to retain say in land-use appeals
Colorado Springs City Council members informally decided Monday they want to stay involved in most appeals involving major land development projects, after hearing major opposition to a proposal that would have cut them out.
A proposed revision to the appeal process in the update to the zoning code would have required appeals of property rezonings, one of the most major land-use decisions, to go to court and bypass the City Council. The draft also proposes allowing lower boards of appointees, such as the Planning Commission, to have the final say on administrative decisions like plats, or final plans to subdivide properties.

Councilwoman Nancy Henjum was among several board members who asked city staff members for additional ideas on how to use funding coming from the American Rescue Plan Act to support affordable housing and called them to be open to new projects, such as land banking.
"What are the tools that we’re not using? ... We still have a housing crisis," she said.
