Three liquor licenses approved; Colorado Springs Council takes up utility bonds and the 2027 budget
Only one item in Colorado Springs' recent meeting record has been decided: a set of three liquor licenses. The rest of the past two weeks was work sessions and council agendas whose minutes have not yet been published, so this roundup reports what was scheduled, not what was settled.
Three liquor licenses approved

Week of 2026-07-06
Colorado Springs Planning Commission Reviews Banning Lewis Ranch Master Plan Changes
Colorado Springs saw little official action over the past two weeks, with two City Council meetings cancelled and the Planning Commission holding a work session to review a large proposed master plan modification on the city's east side.
City Council meetings cancelled
The City Council work session scheduled for June 22, 2026, and the regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 23, 2026, were both cancelled. No agenda items were taken up, and no minutes have been published for either meeting.
Planning Commission reviews Banning Lewis Ranch and several rezonings
On July 2, 2026, the City Planning Commission held a work session to review multiple land use applications and zoning changes. Because this was a work session and minutes have not yet been published, no formal decisions or vote tallies are available from the provided record.
The primary item on the agenda was a major modification to the Banning Lewis Ranch master plan, specifically the Village B2/C area. The proposal involves rezoning approximately 500 acres for residential and commercial use.
The commission also reviewed several smaller land use items:
- A rezone of 7.79 acres at Buckingham Drive from Business Park to Light Industrial.
- A rezone of 5.41 acres at 5325 Mark Dabling Boulevard from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Medium Scale.
- A conditional use request for Liberty Logistics warehousing at 5930–6180 Airport Road.
- A parking variance request for La Kitchen at 2001 West Colorado Avenue.
These items were listed for review and discussion at the work session. The provided record does not indicate what, if any, recommendations the commission made; minutes have not yet been published.
What this means for residents
The Banning Lewis Ranch proposal, if eventually approved by City Council, would guide residential and commercial development across roughly 500 acres on the city's east side. The smaller rezonings and conditional use requests each affect specific parcels and could shape what gets built at those locations. Because the July 2 session was a work session rather than a formal business meeting, and because minutes are not yet available, residents should watch for the commission's formal recommendations and any subsequent City Council action.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed in the provided record for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar for any newly posted agendas or rescheduled dates.
Week of 2026-06-29
City Council Meetings Cancelled; Planning Commission Reviews Banning Lewis Ranch Proposal
No formal decisions were made by city bodies in the past two weeks as a pair of Colorado Springs City Council sessions were cancelled and the City Planning Commission met only for an informal review of land-use applications.

Cancelled Meetings
The City Council’s scheduled work session on June 22 and its regular meeting on June 23 were both cancelled. No reasons were given in the agendas. Because no meetings convened, the council took no votes on any matters.
Planning Commission Work Session
The City Planning Commission gathered on July 2 for a work session to examine several proposals. No votes were taken; final decisions are expected at a future regular meeting. The agenda included:
- **Banning Lewis Ranch Village B2/C master plan modification and rezoning**: A request to amend the master plan and rezone approximately 500 acres to allow residential and commercial development.
- **Buckingham Drive rezone**: A proposal to rezone 7.79 acres from Business Park to Light Industrial.
- **Mark Dabling Boulevard rezone**: A request to rezone 5.41 acres at 5325 Mark Dabling Boulevard from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Medium Scale.
- **Airport Road conditional use**: Liberty Logistics seeking approval for warehousing operations at 5930–6180 Airport Road.
- **West Colorado Avenue parking variance**: La Kitchen requesting a variance for parking at 2001 West Colorado Avenue.
All items remain under review. Minutes of the work session have not yet been published.
