Colorado Springs City Council members approved expanding the city s boundaries on the northeast side by 887 acres Tuesday with plans for up to 2,900 new homes on the land along Woodmen Road.
The council unanimously approved the Banning Lewis Ranch North project proposed by Nor wood Development Group. Earlier in the day, the El Paso County Commission voted unanimously to approve an annexation impact report for the project, but noted changes they would like to make to the annexation boundaries to ensure appropriate public street infrastructure is transferred to the city and the ownership isn t awkwardly split between the city and the county.
