Motion by Councilmember Henjum, seconded by Councilmember Gold, that the Resolution authorizing the disposal of the property formally known as the Meadows Park Community Center, also known as El Paso County Tax Schedule Number 6429302086, through the community benefit process be adopted.

She provided an overview of the support of Harrison School District and the community meeting held last week.\par \par Citizen Zuri Horowitz spoke in opposition of the Resolution.\par \par Councilmember Williams and Councilmember Gold expressed appreciation of staff and the Solutions Team who engaged the community in the outcome of the MPCC.\par \par Councilmember Henjum spoke about the considerations that go into the City\rquote s budget, and even though she would love for the City to be able to fund community centers and senior centers in every district, the funding is not available to do that. She stated the proceeds of this center will go back into the community, and she will be supporting the Resolution.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber spoke about the costs which go into maintaining park land and community centers.\par \par Councilmember Donelson asked how the community benefits the MPCC had offered were taken over by other organizations in the area when the MPCC closed. Ms. King provided an overview of the food pantry which was taken over by the elementary school and how the neighborhood churches offer assistance where needed.\par \par President Crow-Iverson stated the City is going to pay one way or another with either keeping the community center open or when the kids are on the streets with nowhere to go and no mentors or support systems. She stated she feels the process was rushed, Lincoln Center is not in a low-income neighborhood, this is not the same type of area/community, and she is concerned with what will go in this neighborhood.\par \par Councilmember Rainey stated if this Resolution is passed, communication with residents needs to remain intact. Ms. King stated the neighborhood component of the Solutions Team will continue to communicate directly with John Rodgers of CRE Holdings, LLC.\par \par President Pro Tem Risley stated the Superintendent of Harrison School District was concerned about the lack of communication with the school district regarding how this would impact the community, one Request for Proposal (RFP) does not feel like a complete RFP process, there are a lot of other organizations in the community which would be much better at carrying out this type of mission than a developer, and he is struggling with what is being proposed.\par \par Councilmember Williams stated there were three respondents to the RFP and they felt CRE Holdings was the best to partner with the community, prior to that, staff met with the community and organizations to let them know what was coming, and if things do not go as planned, the community will reach out to City Council and City staff to let them know. She stated the intent is to offer childcare to community which is a much-needed service.\par \par President Pro Tem Risley stated childcare that is being provided by nonprofits or community organizations is a completely different level and cost structure than a for profit organization.\par \par Councilmember Henjum stated it is important to provide places for the youth of the community to be and have activities, there was a staff member of Harrison School District on the Solutions Team so there may have been a miscommunication to the Superintendent, and requested additional information from the project leader, Thomas Thompson, Community Affairs Advisor, Office of the Mayor. Mr. Thompson stated although the City did not want MPCC to close, it had to consider what was the best outcome for the future use of the MPCC building. He explained that from the beginning of the process community members were involved, and by having somebody who is willing to invest money in refurbishing the building, make it a community benefit, and commit to have ongoing conversations with the community is a good thing.\par \par Councilmember Gold asked if the Solutions Team will continue to be engaged with CRE Holdings, LLC. Mr. Thompson stated the neighbor leaders and residents will continue to be an advisory team for CRE Holdings, LLC.\par \par Councilmember Gold expressed appreciation for all the efforts of the Solutions Team and feels that by championing for their neighborhood, they have made the best outcome of a bad situation. She stated that although there is not a Community Benefits Agreement, the community benefits are listed in the deed restriction.\par \par Councilmember Casey stated several people expressed that the neighborhood was not consulted on the proposed project. Mr. Thompson stated that when a group is formed to administer a process, it cannot be managed by hundreds of people, so they chose five representatives for the community to be on the Solutions Team and also considered all of the input they received from the community throughout the process.\par \par Councilmember Casey asked how residents were informed regarding the information discussed or decisions made during the Solutions Team meeting. Mr. Thompson stated the original meetings were public and then when they entered the procurement process, they could not communicate any updates per procurement rules.\par \par Councilmember Casey asked how many people attended the latest community meeting. Mr. Thompson stated there were forty to fifty people in attendance.\cf1\fs22\par }

Councilmember Leinweber commented that residential could also be turned into a business.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if there was any legal defect in the 2024 election which would justify or require the dissolution. Trevor Gloss, Senior Attorney, City Attorney\rquote s Office, stated there was no timely challenge of the election\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if the OCC DDA was approved by the qualified electors. Mr. Gloss confirmed it was through the election.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if there is any remaining avenue to contest the 2024 election results. Mr. Gloss stated not to his knowledge.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if the OCC DDA\rquote s commitment to dissolve if the mill levy is not approved is a voluntary agreement or a binding agreement. Mr. Gloss stated it would be voluntary unless there was a binding agreement with the City.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if City Council could approve a Plan of Development while deferring the Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) start date. Mr. Gloss stated the TIF is part of the Plan of Development, but it could be amended to delay the TIF start date.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked what sites are expected for improvement. Mr. Stephan identified the revitalization and refill developments that are planned.\par \par Councilmember Henjum asked why there is confusion as to whether or not some OCC residents did not get to vote on the 2024 election. Mr. Gloss stated the City did not run the election, Spencer Fane did, and the ballots went out to qualified electors.\par \par Councilmember Henjum stated she does not see the urgency to dissolve the OCC DDA and believes they should be able to put the mill levy to a vote so she will be voting against the proposed dissolution.\par \par \kerning2 President Crow-Iverson stated she is concerned with the statistics regarding the 2024 election, the incorrect boundaries, and the failure of the mill levy in the first election. Jariah Walker, Executive Director, Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority (CSURA), provided an overview of the implications of the OCC DDA on the City, the data from the 2024 election, and the CSURA and other funding sources which were in support of a BID, not a DDA. He stated he reviewed the data indicating the district includes approximately 425 businesses, 350 commercial properties, and 700 registered voters, concerns were noted regarding low attendance at focus groups and limited public awareness of the election process, further analysis showed that roughly eighty-five \f2 percent of ballots cast originated from a concentrated four\u8209?block area within OCC, raising questions about the \f0 representativeness and reach of the outreach efforts. He stated that it was reported that only 216 ballots were returned out of 830 issued, despite records indicating nearly double that number of eligible electors, multiple property owners and businesses stated they had not received ballots or were unaware of the election, residential participation was also significantly lower than the total number of qualified electors, although residents would be subject to new taxes under the proposed district. Mr. J. Walker stated the discussion included potential alternatives to the proposed structure, such as establishing a BID or implementing a Public Improvement Fee (PIF), which may provide broader participation, enhanced funding opportunities, and clearer communication, and these mechanisms could be coordinated with existing CSURA tools to support improvements within the OCC core. He emphasized that while stakeholders are committed to improving the OCC area, the election process appeared rushed and insufficiently communicated, and there is interest in pursuing a more inclusive and effective approach to district formation and funding.\par \kerning0\par President Crow-Iverson asked how the CSURA will help the OCC if the mill levy fails again. Mr. J. Walker stated they would help fund the BID and help them succeed with everyone having a say in it.\par \par President Crow-Iverson asked how the Planning Department could support the OCC. Mr. K. Walker stated they could assist with the mapping of boundaries, BID with metropolitan district overlay, and a variety of alternatives they could apply.\par \par President Crow-Iverson asked how the Public Works Department could help the OCC. Rich Mulledy, Director of the Public Works Department, reported on recent and ongoing investments made by the Parking Enterprise in the OCC area, and stated that over the past five years, approximately $2.1 million has been invested in improvements such as parking lot upgrades, repaving, streetscape enhancements, signage installation, and reconstruction of a failing retaining wall valued at about $1.2 million. He noted that the Parking Enterprise continues to coordinate with City Engineering and other Public Works Divisions on the Colorado Avenue project, a $14.5 million initiative focused on improving traffic and pedestrian safety and current work reflects Phase 1 activities, including the installation of temporary structures related to the project. Mr. Mulledy stated the Parking Enterprise will also continue to work with Transit by subsidizing Route 3 to provide free bus rides from downtown to Manitou Springs, CO, City Engineering will be working in conjunction with the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department to make improvements to Midland Trail within the next year, and 2C has put approximately $2 million in roadway and sidewalk improvements.\par \par Councilmember Donelson requested Bob Gardner, Gardner Law Firm, representing the OCC DDA, to address the accusations regarding the ballots. Mr. Gardner stated that he was asked to assist with questions regarding the proposed dissolution of the OCC DDA due to his background as an international election observer and \f2 expressed concern about efforts to discredit a properly certified two year old election. He stated that a memo \f0 circulated shortly before the meeting appeared to cast doubt on the election\rquote s integrity without being vetted by qualified election officials, Clerks, or the City Attorney. A rebuttal was provided to City Council that he believes fully refutes the memo\rquote s claims. Mr. Gardner emphasized that ballots in district and authority elections are issued to qualified electors, not parcels, and concerns about parcels \ldblquote not receiving ballots\rdblquote reflect a misunderstanding of election procedures and removing votes associated with the seventeen questioned parcels would not change the outcome of the DDA formation election. He also addressed claims that 128 ballots were sent to an address used by Westside Cares, explaining that individuals with no fixed address are legally permitted to register at such locations under state and federal constitutional requirements and the criticisms raised in the memo lacked understanding of election processes and should not be used to undermine the certified results.\par \par Councilmember Donelson asked if it would have been illegal to have not sent the ballots to Westside Cares. Mr. Gardner confirmed it would be.\par \par Councilmember Donelson commented that only six ballots were returned so it would not have made a difference anyway. Mr. Gardner stated the most disturbing thing to him is the advocacy of the Director of the CSURA regarding the dissolution.\par \par Mr. Gardner stated he recognizes that the City thinks this should be a BID, but the representatives of the OCC DDA have indicated that forming a BID would require assessments so high that the revenue needed would not be practicably achievable and this concern have been raised repeatedly by OCC DDA members, who selected the DDA structure because they believe it is the only workable option for their district. He further explained that the DDA was legally adopted through a certified election, and any challenge at this point would be untimely, OCC DDA members expressed a strong desire to preserve the historic character of OCC which is in contrast to the individuals advocating for dissolution who may have competing interests related to TIF resources through the CSURA. He that there was mixed awareness regarding the dissolution effort among CSURA board members and House Bill 1348 which was passed in 2015, which requires URA boards to include representatives from affected taxing entities, may influence the CSURA\rquote s perspective on overlapping authorities and districts. Mr. Gardner stated the tools available to the CSURA, which potentially include blight designation and eminent domain, differ significantly from those available to the DDA and City Council should recognize, when making its decision, the distinction between those seeking to preserve the neighborhood\rquote s character and those he characterized as supporting dissolution in favor of redevelopment approaches that could significantly alter the area. \par \par Councilmember Donelson asked if the memo which was sent to City Council by the CSURA was also sent to the OCC DDA. Mr. Gardner stated it was not; they received it from a different public official.\par \par Councilmember Donelson stated that he was concerned the memo questioning the OCC DDA election had not been shared with the DDA for a response, any objections to the election should have been raised within the required timeframe and stated that it was inappropriate for the memo to be provided to only one side. He stated the election was certified, remains valid, and reflected the will of citizens/business owners who voted to establish the OCC DDA. Councilmember Donelson stated that the DDA is now voluntarily requesting an opportunity to return to the voters for approval of a mill levy, if the mill levy were legally impermissible or failed at the ballot, he would then support dissolution. He stated having two DDAs within the same city is not unreasonable because the OCC was previously an independent municipality from Colorado Springs, the voters previously approved the DDA\rquote s formation and expressed concern about significant effort being directed toward overturning that decision. Councilmember Donelson stated he will be voting in opposition to dissolution and encouraged his colleagues to do the same. \par \par \pard Councilmember Gold commended everyone who came in both support and opposition of the dissolution of the OCC DDA, low voter turnout does not invalidate an election, she believes they need more time, and she supports that City Council does not dissolve the OCC DDA.\cf1\f2\fs22\par }

Ms. O\rquote Brien provided a brief history of the site and what is now being proposed.\par \par Councilmember Donelson asked if the prior zoning and proposed zoning authorizes data centers as a use. Kevin Walker, Director, Planning Department, confirmed both zones permit data centers as a use.\par \par Councilmember Casey asked if Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) reviewed this request. Ms. O\rquote Brien stated CSFD does not typically review zone change applications. \par \par Councilmember Casey asked if there was written applicant response to public comment. Ms. O\rquote Brien stated there was not.\par \par Councilmember Casey stated he is struggling with how Light Industrial fits in with residential, Business Park, and MX-N with less setback and higher building heights than what was previously permitted. Ms. O\rquote Brien stated given the existing configuration of the lot, there is a significantly sized easement on the south portion of the lot as well as a private access easement across the southern portion of the property which will create a buffer of approximately fifty feet.\par \par Ben Swanson, Buckingham Land Holdings, LLC representing the applicant, went over the surrounding uses, restrictions, mitigation, and impact to permitted uses.\par \par Councilmember Casey asked why the applicant is requesting the zoning to be changed to Light Industrial. Mr. Swanson stated the market prefers Light Industrial for heavy equipment sales/rental and construction sales/services. \par \par Councilmember Casey stated these uses could create additional noise which was one of the concerns of neighboring citizens. Mr. Swanson stated they do not currently have any company specifically identified and there is a truck terminal immediately north of the property.\par \par Councilmember Donelson requested a response regarding the neighbor who has concerns with the potential uses impacting the surrounding areas. Mr. Swanson stated in 2003, this neighbor had a plan very similar to what is being proposed for this site when they owned the property to the east, and they will mitigate some of the concerns raised such as dust.\par \par Councilmember Henjum asked why this corridor has become Light Industrial. Kevin Walker, Director, Planning Department, stated in the 1960\rquote s, the Garden of the Gods corridor was somewhat separated from the City which allowed for industrial type uses and development.\par \par President Pro Tem Risley asked if there is a significant barrier of trees along the seven adjacent residential properties. Mr. Swanson confirmed there is.\par \par President Pro Tem Risley asked if the property is higher than the residential properties. Mr. Swanson stated Buckingham Road is higher, but the site is relatively at the same grade as the residential properties.\par \par President Pro Tem Risley asked what some of the concerns were from nearby residents. Mr. Swanson stated their main concerns included the condition of the property, the back of the retail section where the trash enclosures are located, homeless camps, and illegal dumping near their property line. He stated they are working to ensure these issues are cleared up.\par \par Ms. O\rquote Brien stated in addition to the landscape buffering requirement, there are also a variety of use specific standards which would impact site design requirements. \par \par Councilmember Donelson motioned to amend the Ordinance to prohibit data centers.\par \par Councilmember Henjum asked if the applicant had any issue with Councilmember Donelson\rquote s amendment. Mr. Swanson stated they do not have any desire to build a data center.\cf1\fs22\par }

Jariah Walker, Executive Director, Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority (CSURA), provided a brief overview of the differences between a DDA and BID and the process for establishing a BID.\par \par Councilmember Donelson stated the citizens of OCC voted to have a DDA so he will be voting \ldblquote no\rdblquote to the dissolution.\par \par \pard\nowidctlpar\sl264\slmult1\tx360\tx720\tx1080\tx1440\tx1800\tx2160\tx2520\tx2880\tx3240\tx3600\tx3960\tx4320\tx4680\tx5040\tx5400\tx5760\tx6120\tx6480\tx6840\tx7200\tx7560\cf1\kerning2\f1 Councilmember Henjum asked if the OCC DDA could go back to the voters regarding the 5 mills levy. Trevor Gloss, Senior Attorney, City Attorney\rquote s Office, explained that for the mill levy, City Council would have to approve it before it was put on the ballot, and then registered electors in the district would vote on the mill levy. Voters approved the retention of any collected Tax Increment Financing, but City Council would have to approve said Financing in a plan of development before it could be collected. Mr. Stepan stated it is their intent to put the mill levy back on the ballot.\par \par Councilmember Gold stated it appears that the OCC DDA needs more time to get everything organized so she will be voting \ldblquote no\rdblquote to the dissolution.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber disclosed that he has a business on the westside, but it is not part of the DDA. \par \par \pard\sl276\slmult1 Councilmember Leinweber asked if the borders of the OCC DDA could be reduced. Mr. Gloss stated there is no mechanism for that in state statute, but City Council could reduce the boundaries through the dissolution mechanism subject to whether debt existed at the time\cf0\kerning0\f0 .\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked what the cost would be to put a question for the DDA on the April 2027. Sarah B. Johnson, City Clerk, stated the DDA would have to pay for the election, but she does not know what the cost would be because it is different than a regular general municipal election.\par \par Councilmember Leinweber asked if City Council could assist with getting a ballot question on the ballot. Ms. Johnson stated City Council would need to refer the question to a ballot, and it would depend on what timeframe the group wanted the ballot question to go out as to whether it would be a City election or an El Paso County election.\par \par Councilmember Williams stated she also loves OCC and DDA is for development and redevelopment which is opposite of what the residents and business owners want. The only way a DDA will generate revenue is to develop.\par \par Councilmember Rainey stated a BID would be more appropriate to fulfill what has been requested in OCC and recommended that the CSURA work with the Downtown DDA to address the needs in OCC. He stated there are only two other cities in the country which have two DDA\rquote s, a DDA does not operate unto itself, and the CSURA is ready to assist with finding the best mechanism to utilize in this situation.\par \par \pard Councilmember Donelson reminded citizens that City Council will vote again on this on September 8, 2026.\cf1\fs22\par }
