Speaking at this meeting
Public comment is NOT taken at this meeting. The City Planning Commission Work Session says so on its own agenda, quoted in full below. If you want to speak to something here, a regular meeting of this body is the place.
The City Planning Commission Work Session's own participation notice, quoted verbatim from this meeting's agenda:
CPC Work Session: All meetings are open to the public. Those who wish to participate may do so in person or via phone. Phone: 1-720-617-3426, enter Conf ID: 426 665 961# and wait to be admitted. Attendees participating by phone will be muted upon entry to the meeting. No public comments are taken during the informal meetings.
Colorado Springs City Council's public-comment procedure does not apply here. If you have read our Council previews, do not carry the Citizen Discussion rules or the three-minute limit across to this body.
Making sense of the numbers
Each item below carries up to three different numbers. They are not versions of each other:
Agenda number (like 4A.A.) — where the item sits in this meeting's running order. It changes every meeting, so it is useless for tracking anything over time.
File number (like 26-324, or ZONE-26-0012 for land-use cases) — the city's permanent identifier for the matter itself. It stays the same from first reading to final vote, so this is the one to search on if you want to follow something.
Ordinance number (like Ordinance No. 26-39, inside the title) — assigned only once something becomes an actual ordinance. Only some items have one.
The file number and the ordinance number both begin with the year, which makes them look related. They are not: they count different things. For example, file 26-324 became Ordinance 26-39, while the earlier file 26-295 became Ordinance 26-46.
