Woodland Park planning commissioners unanimously continue three public hearings to May 28
Summary
The Woodland Park Planning Commission on May 14, 2026, unanimously continued three public hearings—Challenger Corner Subdivision, The Pines at Stone Ridge PUD, and The Haven at Paradise filing 2—to the commission’s May 28 meeting after planning staff were unavailable to present; commissioners discussed written comments and limited further delay to two weeks.
The Woodland Park Planning Commission unanimously voted on May 14 to continue three scheduled public hearings to the commission’s regular meeting on May 28 at 6:30 p.m., after the planning staff member who would have presented was unavailable due to illness.
The action affects three agenda items: Challenger Corner Subdivision (item 4a, preliminary and final plat, reference A26-0045), The Pines at Stone Ridge PUD and preliminary plat extension (item 4b, reference A26-0080) and The Haven at Paradise, filing No. 2 (item 4c, reference A26-0058). A commissioner made a motion to continue each hearing to May 28 and the motions passed on unanimous confirmation from the commissioners.
The chair said the planning director had notified the applicants of the staff absence and that applicants and other interested members of the public were welcome to appear in person or remotely on May 28. Commissioners also discussed alternatives for public input: accepting written comments and allowing virtual attendance. One commissioner advised using the term 'continue' rather than 'adjourn' to avoid re-noticing the hearings, a procedural distinction the commission adopted when making the motions.
During discussion of item 4c, commissioners debated whether to delay the matter beyond two weeks to accommodate a single public participant; several commissioners said a further delay could prejudice an applicant and that a two-week continuance was appropriate. Commissioners noted written comments can be submitted and would be included in the packet for the continued hearings.
