PLEASE HELP US STOP THE REZONING OF THE UNDEVELOPED 10 ACRES IN THE NEWPORT HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD, ALONG THE COTTONWOOD CREEK TRAIL.
WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP!
Developers are overbuilding in our neighborhood! A huge storage unit building has been built. 162 new homes are being built.... We now need your help to stop rezoning for an additional 49 single family homes from being approved for Newport Heights.
REQUEST FOR REZONING SUBMITTED: Newport Heights Development - Another 49 single family homes on 10 acres - on the south side of Cottonwood Creek (originally zoned for 9 single family homes and a park).
COMPLETE: A huge storage unit building - on the north side of Cottonwood Creek.
ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The Midtown Collection Development - 106 single family homes on 21 acres, on the north side of Cottonwood Creek.
ZONING STILL TO BE APPROVED DECEMBER 19 MEETING: Trail Side at Cottonwood Creek - 56 single family homes development on 15 acres, on the north side of Cottonwood Creek.
WE NEED AS MANY NEIGHBORS AS POSSIBLE TO SIGN THIS PETITION, BEFORE THE NEXT CITY ZONING MEETING, TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 19TH!
THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE ALREADY NEGATIVELY IMPACTING: Our beautiful open space and views. Our now dwindling wildlife and their increasingly limited habitat. Storm water, car oil, trash, etc runoff into Cottonwood Creek and our water aquifer. Traffic. Parking. D11 and D20 schools. Neighborhood population density. The quality of life of our neighborhoods.
WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS REZONING!
PLEASE DISCUSS, FORWARD AND SHARE THIS PETITION IN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS!
TO BE UPDATED ON OUR PROGRESS, want to help us in any way, be informed of important meetings and developments, you must email us at: [email protected].
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!......You may sign again, even if you have signed our paper petition.

The amount of support we have gathered lately is overwhelming even if the constant fight against these developers feels exhausting. Seeing this many people recognize what we stand to lose at Cottonwood Creek keeps me going when I want to walk away.

I use this trail almost every day. I enjoy seeing rabbits, deer, wild turkey, wolves, and even a bobcat. We do not need more housing. We need more open space. Could you please think about the people who already live here and enjoy the trail?
Urban sprawl defined! We don't want this many homes and the congestion and environmental destruction they bring. Certainly city planners can promote a more environmentally and aesthetically balanced vision for this property than the 49 homes this developer wants to jam in here.
Way too many homes for the property. The developer is trying to cram as many homes on this land as possible - just to earn more money. Not to preserve this neighborhood. This development will overwhelm the street required to access the proposed new homes. It goes a long way in nearly double the number of people who live in the neighborhood. The developer knew the property was only zoned for nine home when he purchased the property. He wants to have the zoning changed by increasing the zoning by motor than 550%. We need to stop this madness.
If the City Council allows this change to the zoning you will be acting in bad faith to all the people of this neighborhood who bought their homes with the understanding that this property would be used for schools or open space. Please put our trust back in you by protecting our home values!
Developers should be developing the abandoned businesses all along South Academy Blvd. Instead, those areas now see increasing crime and drug abuse. I moved away from such an area in Houston, Texas where uncontrolled growth has killed almost every native animal. The reason I moved to Colorado Springs was because of the open spaces and quality of life. Now again the catering to developers to destroy green spaces is reminiscent of one of the most sprawled out polluted cities in America.
This is open space and more development will infringe on wildlife and existing homeowner's quality of life.

Rezoning of this property to allow 49 single family homes will cause a traffic nightmare on Bridle Pass, which already has too much traffic as it is.
