El Paso County panel recommends rezoning 37.66 acres of Trinity Ranch along Highway 94; vote 6–3
Summary
The El Paso County Planning Commission voted 6–3 on Dec. 4 to recommend rezoning 37.663 acres of the Trinity Ranch property along State Highway 94 from RR-5 residential to Commercial Services; commissioners cited master-plan guidance and compatibility concerns. The recommendation moves to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.

Joseph Lettke, the county planner who reviewed the project, told commissioners the proposal would rezone approximately 37.63 acres of a roughly 140-acre parcel. He said the CS district permits retail and service uses that serve the general public — examples include convenience stores, gas stations, mini-warehouses and offices — and that the master plan identifies portions of Highway 94 for potential commercial development. "The CS Zoning District is intended to accommodate retail, wholesale, or services, commercial uses that serve the general public," Lettke said during the presentation.
