We request that the City Council allow the citizens of Colorado Springs to vote on a building height limit on the November 2024 ballot.

1. Currently, there are NO restrictions on how tall buildings can be built in downtown Colorado Springs.  Our previous height restrictions were removed without a vote of the citizens.  Most citizens are unaware of this.
2. Citizens want reasonable height restrictions to protect the character, views, and human scale of Colorado Springs.  
3. There has recently been a proposal to build a 400 foot tall (36 floors) building downtown.  That is more than twice as tall as every existing building - except one (Wells Fargo building - 16 floors).  
4. Before it is too late, and the character of Colorado Springs is permanently changed (think Denver), we request that the City Council allow the citizens of Colorado Springs to vote on a building height limit on the November 2024 ballot.
5. Limiting future building height to the height of our current tallest building (247 feet) will maintain Colorado Springs' character and human scale which complements, rather than dominates, our beautiful surroundings.   The same surroundings which inspired General Palmer to found our city at the base of America's Mountain, Pikes Peak.  
6. Sign this petition to allow the citizens of Colorado Springs to have a voice in the future of our city!     

Please leave a comment for our City Councilmembers, so they understand we expect them to let the people of Colorado Springs vote on the future of our city landscapes and skies.

All comments on the petition go to City Council and help them see the concern citizens have, in your own words.  They matter.  Please leave a quick comment.  Thank you!

WE DON'T WANT TO BE DENVER.
