MAP AMENDMENT (REZONING) - MA SUBDIVISION TRACT A REZONE TO RM-12 - A request by MA Infrastructure, LLC for approval of a Map Amendment (Rezoning) of 7.56 acres from RR-5 (Residential Rural) to RM-12 (Residential Multi-Dwelling). The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Walker Road and Highway 83. The item was heard as a regular item at the June 18, 2026, Planning Commission meeting. A recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners for denial passed with a vote of 6-1 resulting in a recommendation for denial. Planning Commission members discussed the surrounding zoning districts, uses, lack of commercial businesses, lack of compatibility with existing character of the area, and lack of walkability to commercial and parkland uses. Discussion regarding the Suburban Residential Placetype surrounded by Large Lot Residential was also discussed which included the Priority Development Area. Ultimately, several members concluded that the applications did not meet the criteria for approval and a vote for recommendation of denial was made. The opposition to the request included public comment from 20 citizens citing that the requested RM-12 and RM-30 zoning districts were incompatible with the surrounding large-lot residential character and inconsistent with the intent of the El Paso County Master Plan. Several speakers expressed concern that approval would establish a precedent for additional high-density development along the Highway 83 corridor and fundamentally alter the rural character of the area. Speakers also raised concerns regarding increased traffic volumes, roadway capacity, pedestrian safety, emergency response, and the proximity of the proposed development to Monument Academy.
