Background: - The City of Colorado Springs intends to issue $40M in private activity bonds (federal dollars) to a developer (DBG Properties, Portland, OR) to build 232 affordable multi-family units known as Royal Pines Apartments, between the OB/GYN Clinic and Dental Office on Royal Pine and Union. - DBG has constructed several affordable and senior apartments in OR, WA, CA, AZ, NV, NM, and CO, including Academy Heights at Fountain and Academy. - Their concept plan takes advantage of a change to COS zoning, which allows for an increase in height from 38' (3-story) to 50' (4-story) and a decrease in parking requirements. - Once DBG submits a formal development plan, City Planning will go through the administrative review process. This is when criteria such as traffic, environment, zoning, and other infrastructure will be reviewed. The city planning office will send the concerns to the developer to mitigate. The goal is to work toward approval. After receiving approval from City Planning, it goes to the Planning Commission for review and approval. The final step is the presentation before the City Council for final approval. - If the City approves the development plan, it will issue the bonds to the developer. *This is the largest single issuance of bonds in COS since this program began. Most projects get $12-$14M. *If approved, the residents have an opportunity to appeal the concept plan, the apartment development plan, and the city decision. *The residents can speak at any City Council to express their support or opposition to this project. Timeline:
Once DBG submits its building development plan for the apartments, the process becomes "quasi-judicial," whereby city council members and the mayor can no longer communicate with the Pine Creek residents about the development. At that time all questions and concerns need to be directed to Logan Hubble- logan.hubble@coloradosprings.gov If you support this development, there is nothing you need to do. If you oppose this development, send an email to pinecreekvillageneighbors@gmail.com to let the working group know how/where you can help. We encourage everyone to contact your City representatives and let them hear your voice through various forms of media. Their contact information is below.

Why are people bitten and what is the result?
Rattlesnakes have an elaborate defensive strategy, seeking to avoid the need for a venomous bite if possible. Most of the time, rattlesnakes will not strike at people unless they feel threatened or are deliberately provoked. Awareness and Avoidance The best way to avoid dangerous encounters with any wildlife is awareness and avoidance. Always be aware of your surroundings using your eyes and ears, and avoid wildlife that you see or hear.
If an encounter with a snake is unavoidable, take these precautions to stay safe:
The best way to keep your pets safe from rattlesnakes is to keep them on a six-foot leash as required on most public lands in Colorado. Dogs in particular are known to be very curious animals that ignore a snake's defensive posturing.
