Map Option (8) Communities of

Interest & Compactness:

  • The proposed map keeps most municipalities whole within one Commissioner District, except City of Colorado Springs.
  • Communities of Interest are the 5 Military Installations, Falcon, Southeast Colorado Springs, Monument, Palmer Lake, and the Wildland Urban Interface.
  • The Districts are sufficiently compact.
  • Map proposes by Commissioner’s Bremer and Geitner at the July 6th meeting, adjustments to Precincts were made for Precinct splits. Precincts 163, 134, 180, and 181 stayed in their original districts due to population.
  • Districts 1, and 2 are under population target deviation to allow for future growth. District 5 is underpopulated.
