1993 CITY OF PUEBLO ANNEXATION MASTER PLAN
PUEBLO, COLORADO
I. INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSE
The City of Pueblo Annexation Master Plan is prepared in response to the
Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 (Section 31- 12- 105[l][e], CRS [1988 Cum.
Supp.]) as amended by Senate Bill 45 (1987). Compliance of this act
requires that prior to completion of any annexation, a municipality shall
have in place a plan that generally describes proposed public facilities,
utilities, and land uses within a three —mile limit from current City
boundaries. Section 12 -5 of the Charter of Pueblo authorizes the
preparation of a master plan for the physical development of the City.
The Department of Planning and Development is charged with the
responsibility of conducting such long —range planning activities for the
City of Pueblo. The goal of long —range master planning is to provide a
framework which will guide development in a consistent manner. Individual
annexation and development decisions may then be made according to
criteria that best suits the overall goals of the City.
The City of Pueblo Annexation Master Plan establishes specific guidelines
and recommends policies which will ensure that annexation and development
is consistent and compatible with existing land uses, land use and
transportation policies, and with State annexation statutes.
B. BACKGROUND
To facilitate the analysis, the City has been divided into four separate
quadrants of which each possesses both common and individual attributes.
The study area of each quadrant encompasses an area which extends three
miles from the existing City limits. Map Series 1 illustrates the study
area boundaries of each quadrant.
B -1. Northeast Quadrant
The Northeast Quadrant study area contains approximately 50 sq. miles and
is that area bounded on the south by Highway 50 —C (State Highway 96); on
the east by State Highway 231 (Lane 36 extended north); on the north by
the KCSJ Radio Tower on Baculite Mesa; and on the west by Interstate 25.
— I -1 —
The Northeast Quadrant addresses potential growth from recent developments
at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park (AIP) and proposed
development adjacent to the University of Southern Colorado. The AIP,
owned by but not located within the Corporate limits of the City of
Pueblo, is rapidly developing as the largest industrial park in Southern
Colorado. Intensive building at the AIP began in 1984 when Unisys
constructed a new plant. It has since grown with the construction of new
facilities by Target (Dayton Hudson Corporation), Pryor — Giggy, Atlas
Pacific, Kurt Manufacturing, Trane Corporation, B. F. Goodrich Company,
PCL Corporation, McDonnell Douglas Corporation, and Kaiser Corporation.
In addition, a new municipal golf course (WalkingStick) adjacent to the
west side of the University of Southern Colorado officially opened in
July, 1991. A new residential subdivision (WalkingStick, Filing 1,
Phase I) adjacent to the north boundary of the golf course has received
final approval, with construction scheduled to begin in 1994.
B -2. Southeast Quadrant
The Southeast Quadrant study area contains approximately 37 sq. miles and
is that area bounded on the north by U. S. Highway 50 —B, on the east by
Lane 36 (Colorado State Highway 231) and the St. Charles River, on the
west by I -25, and on the south by the Comanche power generating plant.
In 1988, the City of Pueblo annexed the U. S. Highway 50 corridor, east
from the City limits to Lane 30 -1/2 . This action resulted in the
extension of municipal service boundaries to include the corridor. This
annexation, coupled with recent development proposals, indicates a
possible growth trend in the Southeast Quadrant.
The area between U.S. Highway 50 —B and the Arkansas River is considered to
be the most probable for annexation due to its proximity to the airport
and AIP and due to the ability to extend municipal service into the area.
The remainder of the study area, including the St. Charles Mesa
communities and the CF &I Steel Corporation, is presently served by
alternate potable water suppliers and wastewater treatment services and
has little pressure to annex into the City.
B -3. Southwest Ouadrant
The Southwest Quadrant study area contains approximately 38 sq. miles and
is that area bounded on the south by Salt Creek and St. Charles Reservoir
No. 3, on the east by Interstate 25 and Prairie Avenue, on the north by
the Arkansas River and Pueblo Reservoir State Park boundary, and on the
west by a north /south boundary line running between Sections 13 and 14 of
Township 21 South, Range 66 West.
The Southwest portion of the City consists primarily of newer residential
subdivisions including El Camino, La Vista Hills, Regency Park, and Sunset
Park Subdivisions. A 35 —acre tract of undeveloped land adjacent to the
south side of Regency Park was annexed to the City in June of 1993. A
15 —acre subdivision within the annexed area (Regency Place, 1st Filing)
has received final approval, with construction scheduled to begin in 1994.
— I -2 —
B -4. Northwest Quadrant
The Northwest Quadrant study area contains approximately 55 sq. miles and
is that area bounded on the south by the Arkansas River, on the east by
Interstate 25 and Elizabeth Street, on the north by an east /west boundary
line running between Sections 14 and 23 of Township 19 South, Range 65
West, and on the west by a north /south boundary line running between
Sections 19 and 20 of Township 19 South, Range 65 West, thence following
the boundaries of Pueblo West and the Pueblo Reservoir.
The Northwest portion of the City of Pueblo is not anticipated to
experience tremendous amounts of growth beyond the present City limit
boundaries. However, growth within Pueblo West is anticipated to continue
at its current level. A large portion of the Northwest Quadrant is within
the boundaries of the State Honor Farm. The State Division of Parks is
currently developing a master plan for this property which will determine
management strategies including proposed uses and disposal of land.
These study areas have been divided into Urban (proposed urban extension
area) and Rural categories. The Urban /Rural Demarcation Line identifies
the boundary beyond which urbanization is not anticipated to occur within
a 12 —month period following the adoption of this plan. The term "proposed
urban extension area" indicates that area which is considered to be the
most probable for annexation based on its ability to extend municipal
services into the area (See Map Series 2).
C. OBJECTIVES AND GOALS
This annexation master plan will serve

The goals of the City of Pueblo Annexation Master Plan are to:
GOAL 1 : Establish land use and annexation policies which will guide
development within the four planning quadrants. These policies
will provide a standard approach for future annexations and will
supplement City zoning and subdivision regulations.
GOAL 2 : Comply with State annexation laws, Pueblo Board of Water Works
policies, and U. S. Government Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) airport regulations and aircraft noise recommendations.
GOAL 3 : Identify proposed public facilities, utilities, and land uses
within the four planning quadrants.
GOAL 4 : Provide an inventory of the planning area in relation to the
natural environment, the infrastructure, and available public
facilities.
— I -3 —
D. ASSUMPTIONS
For the purpose of this plan, the following assumptions are made:
1. Development at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park (AIP) will
continue at or near its historic rate and will create the need and
desire for new housing.
2. There will be continued pressure to develop the land adjoining the
University of Southern Colorado.
3. There will be a need for additional roadway access to the AIP.
4. There will be a' need to protect the AIP from incompatible
development.
5. There will be an increasing need for commercial services to support
AIP growth and activity (i.e., restaurants, service stations,
lodging, shopping centers).
6. There will be a continuing need for recreational areas (i.e., parks,
rest stops, and natural and bike trails).
7. The transportation network will be in need of expansion in
conjunction with new development in each quadrant.
8. The extension of City water and wastewater services, utilities, and
public facilities will be pursued for new development at or near City
boundaries.
9. Commercial development west along the Highway 50 Corridor to the
existing City limit line will continue.
10. Industrial development occurring in the study area will balance
industrial development at the AIP.
11. Residential development will steadily increase in each quadrant.

II. ANNEXATION REQUIREMENTS
PRFFACF
This plan is designed to conform with the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965
(Part I of Article 12 of Title 31, CRS) amended by Senate Bill 45 (1987).
This Act requires a municipality to develop an annexation master plan
describing proposed public facilities, utilities, and land uses within a
three -mile limit from current City boundaries.
A. COLORADO ANNEXATION REQUIREMENTS
Senate Bill 45 was passed in the 1987 Session of the Colorado General
Assembly. The following requirements apply to all municipal annexations
requested after May 28, 1987.
1. Development Eligibility (CRS Title 31 -12 -104)
The perimeter of the area proposed for annexation must have no less than
one -sixth contiguity with the annexing municipality. Contiguity may be
established by the annexation of one, or more, parcel in a series
completed simultaneously and considered together for the purposes of
public hearing requirements. Contiguity is not affected by the existence
of a platted street or alley, a public or private right -of -way, a public
or private transportation right -of -way, and public lands whether owned by
the State, the United States, or an agency thereof (except County owned
open space), or a lake, reservoir, stream, or other natural or artificial
waterway between the annexing municipality and the land proposed to be
annexed.
Municipality boundaries shall not be extended more than three miles in any
direction from any point of such municipal boundary in any one year. Such
three -mile limit may be exceeded if it would have the effect of dividing a
parcel of property held in identical ownership, provided that at least 50
percent of the property is within the three -mile limit. Such three -mile
limit may also be exceeded for the annexation of an enterprise zone. The
areas within the study areas which are within an enterprise zone are
depicted in Map Series 3.

2. Annexation Master Plan (CRS Title 31- 12- 105[11 —[el)
Prior to completion of any annexation within the three —mile area, the
municipality shall have a plan in place for that area which describes the
proposed location, character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges,

2. Section 208 Water Quality Program, Pueblo, Colorado
Water Quality Management Planning is required under Section 208 of the
Federal Clean Water Act, Public Law 92 -800. The purpose of this Act is to
preserve and enhance the Nation's water systems. The Pueblo 208 Water
Quality Program was first implemented in 1977 with subsequent updates in
1981, 1984, and 1987 by the Pueblo Area Council of Governments (PACOG). A
subsequent update is presently being prepared. The Pueblo Water Quality
Management Plan is now comprised of six (6) volumes:
Volume I: 208 Stream Segment Analysis, June, 1977;
Volume II: 208 Point Source, Non —Point Source,
Institution /Management Subplans, June, 1977;
Volume III: 208 Final Plan and Implementation Schedule, July, 1977;
Volume IV: 208 Plan Update, 1981
Volume V: 208 Plan Update, 1984; and
Volume VI: 208 Plan Update, 1987.
— III -2 —
These plans analyze the main water sources, both ground and surface, for
Pueblo County. Wastewater facilities Are examined; point and non —point
pollution sources are assessed; methodology and results of water tests are
documented; and stream segments are analyzed. Surface watercourses
included are:
a. the Arkansas River -- Segments A, B, and C;
b. the Fountain Creek;
c. the St. Charles River -- Segments A, B, and C;
d. Greenhorn Creek -- Segments A and B;
e. Six —Mile Creek; and
f. the Huerfano River.
The 1987 208 Plan Update reviews point source pollution, sludge
production, and wastewater disposal by the City and outlying sanitary
districts.
3. General and Engineering Geology of the Northern Part of Pueblo,
Colorado
This Geological Survey Bulletin 1262 was prepared by Glenn R. Scott in
1969. This document lists the locations of bedrock formations and
surficial deposits in Pueblo County. The bulletin also identified general
characteristics and engineering concerns for each geologic member.
4. Waterlogging in an Alluvial Aquifer Near Lake Minnequa
Waterlogging in an Alluvial Aquifer Near Lake Minnequa, Pueblo, Colorado
by Patrick J. Emmons, is an investigative report prepared in 1976 by the
United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the City of Pueblo.
The purpose of this report was to determine the cause of the shallow water
table south of Lake Minnequa and to determine possible alternatives for
eliminating the problem of waterlogged land. The study concluded that the
unnaturally high level of Lake Minnequa is the principal cause of the
shallow water table. Secondary causes include a bedrock hill east of Lake
Minnequa and seepage from the St. Charles reservoirs and nearby drainage
ditches.
The alternatives suggested by the report to mitigate developmental
constraints in such areas are:
a. lower the level of Lake Minnequa;
b. install dewatering wells;
c. install drainage system;
d. raise the land surface;
e. dredge Lake Minnequa;
f. apply restrictive zoning; and
g. purchase the waterlogged areas
— III -3 —
B. LAND USE AND INFRASTRUCTURE
1. Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Development Plan
The Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Development Plan was prepared by the
Pueblo Regional Planning Commission and adopted by the City of Pueblo and
Pueblo County in 1980. The purpose of this document is to prepare for
necessary and desirable growth through the development of a master plan
for physical development. The plan includes eight major parts, or
elements, which address concerns associated with physical development in
the region. The eight elements are Land Use, Housing, Public Facilities,
Environmental Quality, Land Conservation, Parks and Recreation,
Transportation, and Downtown Pueblo.
The overall concept that guides the Plan's recommendations is the desire
that the Pueblo region grow in a way that will not detract from the
quality of life of its residents. The Plan's goals, policies, and land
use recommendations consistently attempt to reflect the community's desire
to be prepared to accept growth which is deemed to be necessary and
desirable for all residents.
2. City of Pueblo Urban Parks and Recreation Recovery Action Program
The City of Pueblo Urban Parks and Recreation Recovery Action Program
UPARR was prepared by the Pueblo Regional Planning Commission and
adopted by City Council in 1981. The UPARR assessed the physical
inventory, the rehabilitative capability, and the concerns of the City of
Pueblo Parks and Recreation Department.
This federally funded program was designed to help physically and
economically distressed urban areas improve recreational opportunities.
The conclusion of this report states that Pueblo's physical parks system
is evidence of a firm foundation for providing the open spaces and
services needed and requested by its population. Recent emphasis to
provide parks on the neighborhood level has had positive results, but
future planning should consider more strongly the need for quality design,
construction, rehabilitation, renovation, operations, maintenance, and the
need for the development of additional City —wide facilities.
The UPARR report is presently being updated to fulfill Federal eligibility
requirements for possible funding of future projects.
3. Airport Subdivision Sketch Plan
The City of Pueblo in 1986 prepared a sketch plan for the subdivision of
the Airport property. The purpose was to enhance development
opportunities at the Airport and AIP. The sketch plan (See Map 4) is part
of the process required by the Pueblo County's subdivision process. It
identifies roadway and utility corridors and the general arrangement of
the lots. The Pueblo Memorial Airport Subdivision - -Final Plat- -has
received approval by the City and is presently undergoing review by Pueblo
County for final approval.

4. Air Facilities Plan
The Air Facilities Plan was prepared in October, 1986, by the City of
Pueblo Department of Planning and Development. The plan's goal is to
maximize the amount of land available for industrial development while
ensuring that sufficient land is reserved for continued development of the
Airport. The Air Facilities Plan addresses land availability, ground
access, air —side access, and utility availability.
5. Pueblo Memorial Airport Master Plan
The Pueblo Airport Master Plan was prepared in 1975 to provide an
objective analysis of the facilities and capabilities of Pueblo Memorial
Airport. It presents a detailed, yet flexible, plan for the future needs
of the airport. Based upon the available data, this plan was designed to
furnish reasonable recommendations for the aviation needs of 1975 and
thereafter for the Pueblo area..
Recommendations and alternatives for meeting aviation demands were
presented. These provided for short —range (5— year), intermediate range
(10— year), and long range (20 —year) development.
It should be understood that this document, although detailed, is for use
as a general guideline for the continued development of the Pueblo
Memorial Airport and AIP areas. The development recommendations set forth
in this analysis provide guidance for long —range airport needs of the
Pueblo area. The Airport Master Plan is currently being updated.
6. Airport Noise Compatibility Program
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 implements portions of Title I
of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979. It establishes a
single system for the measurement of airport (and background) noise, a
single system for determining the exposure of individuals to airport
noise, and a standardized airport noise compatibility planning program.
The planning program includes:
a. a provision for the development and submission to the FAA of Noise
Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Programs by Airport operations;
b. standard noise units, methods, and analytical techniques for use in
airport noise assessments;
C. identification of land uses which are normally considered compatible
(or non — compatible) with various levels of noise around airports; and
d. procedures and criteria for FAA approval or disapproval of noise
compatibility programs by the administrator.
— III -6 —
The program includes consideration of alternative noise control that might
be employed, as well as appropriate land use planning strategies. The
goal of the overall program is for the airport proprietor, in consultation
with State /local planners, local aviation groups, and interested citizens,
to develop a balanced and cost — effective program to minimize and /or
mitigate the airport's noise impact on local communities. This study is
currently being prepared.
7. Pueblo Board of Water Works Water Distribut Plan
In 1979, Black and Veatch, consulting engineers, prepared a water
distribution system study for the Pueblo Board of Water Works. The report
provides a master plan for improvement and construction by the Board in
its continuing program of water distribution. The purpose is to determine
the adequacy of the Pueblo Water Distribution System in satisfying present
and future water needs through the Year 1985. The report provides a
general guideline for projections made through the Year 2000 and contains
area development studies to determine present and estimated future
population distribution within the service area. Estimates of water
demands and predicted distribution demands on the system are also
analyzed.
In 1976, the Board of Water Works published an informational booklet,
Pueblo's Water System which describes the sources of water supply and
follows the water through the treatment system and to the tap.
8. Sanitary Sewerage and Wastewater T reatment Facilities
An engineering report was prepared in 1971 by Sellards and Grigg (S &G),
Inc. The report presented a study of the City's sanitary sewage and
wastewater treatment facilities. Proposals for additions and corrections
to the existing system were set forth in order to plan for an efficient
treatment system for the present and future needs of the City.
The scope of the work within the report included the following:
a. development of a long —range master plan for the sewerage and
establishment of a service area boundary; and
b. analysis of the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and
recommended improvements to correct deficiencies and to provide
capacity for future needs.
Since the development of the report, the City has made many of the
improvements to the sanitary sewer collections system and has constructed
a new wastewater treatment facility. The new WWTP will accommodate the
sanitary sewer needs in Pueblo to the Year 2004. The City of Pueblo's
Department of Public Works is responsible for updating the S &G report.
— III -7 —
9. Pueblo Airport Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant Preliminary
Engineering Study
CH2M Hill Consultants prepared the Pueblo Airport Industrial Park
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Preliminary Engineering Study for the City
of Pueblo in March, 1988. A supplement to the study was prepared in
February, 1989. The original study stated that the existing airport
wastewater treatment facility would not be capable of processing
wastewater flow and loading in the event of significant industrial growth
within the Airport Industrial Park (AIP). Several industrial development
scenarios were used to calculate five flow and loading projections. The
study then examined five wastewater management alternatives in respect to
the flow and loading projections, cost effectiveness, and other
non - monetary criteria. CH2M Hill recommended that the City pump waste-
water back to the main treatment plant.
In a subsequent study, CH2M Hill included another possible alternative.
This alternative would require that additional wastewater be pumped back
to the main City plant and that current flows be treated at the airport
treatment plant. It was determined in the supplemental study that
continued treatment of current flows at the airport's WWTP plant is not a
feasible alternative. CH2M Hill replaced this alternative with a pumping
system - -four (4) pump stations placed strategically along the route of the
pipeline. They have identified this alternative to be the most
economical. In addition, it allows for flexibility and better access into
the system.
The construction of the pipeline and pumping stations began in January,
1992, and are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 1992. Once the
pipeline and pumping stations are operational, the airport's WWTP will be
abandoned.
C. TRANSPORTATION
Pueblo Analysis District Evaluation To The Year 2010 (by Traffic Zone
The Pueblo Analysis District Evaluation To The Year 2010 (bv Traffic Zone)
was prepared in December of 1984 by the Pueblo Regional Planning
Commission. This report is part of the "Urban (3 -C) Transportation
Planning Process" administered through the Urban Transportation Planning
Division (UTPD) of the Pueblo Area Council of Governments (PACOG). The
report is in support of the transportation network analysis conducted by
agencies involved in preparation of the "Year 2010 Transportation Plan."
Projections of population, dwelling units, and employment are provided for
the Years 1990, 2000, and 2010. One hundred and thirty -nine (139) traffic
zones in the Urban "3 -C" Analysis Area and 34 traffic zones in the
non -urban area of Pueblo County were examined.
- III -8 -
The Urban (3 —C) traffic zones were grouped into 11 analysis districts for
the purpose of this report. Each zone was then examined as to its degree
of develop— able land, stability of environment, activity type
(residential, commercial, or industrial), predominant age of structures,
and historical change in population. Population predictions were then
assigned a share of expected change.
The traffic zones were analyzed as to their future growth and
transportation needs and are included in the "Transportation Network"
section of this report.
An analysis district evaluation to the Year 2020 which utilizes the latest
information from the 1990 Census is presently being prepared by City
staff.
2. The Year 2010 Transportation Plan
The Year 2010 Transportation Plan report, October, 1989, was prepared by
the Pueblo Area Council of Governments' Urban Transportation Planning
Division and the Colorado Department of Highways Division of
Transportation Planning, in cooperation with the U. S. Department of
Transportation Federal Highway Administration.
The report is an end — product of a process that began with an analysis of
the existing transportation system -- Analysis District Evaluation to the
Year 2010 (by traffic zone) -- progressed through development of a
long —range plan, then evolved into a continuing monitoring phase.
The Plan's objectives are:
a. To adopt a revised transportation plan for the Pueblo Urbanized Area
with a long —range planning horizon for the Year 2010.
b. To identify transportation system needs compatible with revised
projections of development in the Pueblo Urbanized Area through the
Year 2010.
c. To perform a systems level evaluation of social, economic, and
environmental impacts of alternative land use and transportation
plans.
Map 5 identifies the functional classification of major transportation
routes as identified in the Year 2010 Transportation Plan. The Year 2010
Plan is a statement of present policy toward future needs. It reflects
new development trends, new technologies, and changes in travel behavior.
Employment, population, and dwelling units were projected for 139 traffic
zones and seven traffic generators. Trip generation is based on projected
dwelling units and employment. This data was loaded onto collectors,
minor arterials, principal arterials, expressways, and freeways. City
staff is presently preparing the Year 2020 Transportation Plan, utilizing
data from the 1990 Census.

3. Pueblo Airpark Access Alternatives Stud
Recent developments at the AIP have resulted in traffic congestion and
delays within the AIP internal traffic system during the peak hours. In
response to the development and activity at the AIP, the FY 1987 Unified
Planning Work Program listed Task C. 6. an "Airport Corridor Study." The
Urban Transportation Planning Division contracted with the City of
Pueblo's Department of Planning and Development to complete this study.
The objective of this study was to identify and assess the environmental,
economic, social, and traffic impacts of the alternative corridors. The
six alternative corridors studied are identified on Map 6. This study
concluded that no single alternative completely addressed the Airport
Industrial Park's transportation needs at "build— out." However,
combinations of these alternatives can provide a solution. There are many
possible combinations of alternatives that together can form a course of
action.
The Pueblo Area Council of Governments approved and supported the
construction of improvements to the Paul Harvey interchange followed by
the extension of William White Boulevard to State Highway 47.
If at the time when a second access is needed and the right —of —way or
funding for the William White extension is not available, the 36th Lane
Alternative, or 27th Lane Alternative, can address a short —term need
depending upon the area of development. The course ultimately chosen will
be determined by the availability of funds, timing, and need

IV. THREE -MILE ANNEXATION PLAN
PREFACE
The population of the City of Pueblo is predicted to reach 110,000 persons
by the Year 2000, resulting in an increase of 10,000 persons. It is
anticipated that this growth will be largely fueled by increased
employment at the Pueblo Airport Industrial Park. Recent trends indicate
that a substantial portion of the accompanying residential growth will
occur within the Northeast and Southwest Quadrants. Proper planning of
the development in all quadrants will ensure compatibility with existing
land uses and will also ensure provision of a smooth transportation
system.
This plan is the result of an extensive inventory and analysis of each
quadrant's environmental and man -made conditions. These conditions, along
with potential development restrictions, were simultaneously analyzed in
order to identify areas which would require more restrictive land use and
development requirements. The plan will facilitate development by
establishing logical patterns of land use based upon the needs of the
community in accordance with the City's adopted standards and policies.
It is the intent of this plan to encourage the most appropriate use of the
land to minimize future problems resulting from incompatible development.
It is further intended that by identifying the area's present resources,
natural and man -made, the suitable preservation or utilization of these
resources will allow for a carefully developed community.
This plan is designed to meet the requirements of the Municipal Annexation
Act of 1965 (Section 31- 12- 105[l][e], CRS [1988 Cum. Supp.]), as amended
by Senate Bill 45 (1987). The 1987 amending bill requires that the plan
describe the location, character, and extent of streets, bridges,
waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, parks, aviation fields, and
other public grounds, public utilities, and terminals for water, light,
sanitation, transportation, and power to be provided by the
municipality. In addition, the bill requires the identification of
proposed land uses for the area.
The City's Annexation Master Plan is a compendium of all the plans and
reports previously referenced in this document. It shall serve as the
official "three -mile annexation plan" for the City but will not supersede
the Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Development Plan except insofar as the
Three -Mile Annexation Plan shall be used to identify proposed land uses in
that area, defined as the "proposed urban extension area" within each
quadrant. The Three -Mile Annexation Plan shall be used to provide
guidance in the review of development proposals and in the negotiation of
annexation agreements.
- IV -1 -
The boundary of this study area extends three miles in all directions of
current City limits. The study area has been partitioned into two areas
by an Urban /Rural Demarcation Line:
(1) a proposed urban extension area representing that portion of
each quadrant in which municipal services could logically be
extended to accommodate growth (See Map 2); and
(2) the rural remainder of the study area which will not be master
planned since it is not anticipated that urbanization will occur
in this area within a 12 —month period following the adoption of
this plan.
The primary components of this plan include the identification of existing
and proposed major transportation corridors, the anticipated land use
around these corridors, and specific development guidelines. Secondary
components include the anticipated location of major public facilities and
district and urban parks within the proposed urban extension area.
A. EXISTING AND PROPOSED MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS
Roadway proposals for each quadrant are intended to provide a
transportation system that will efficiently serve a growing community.
These corridors should be established so that adequate rights —of —way and
construction agreements can be made at the time of subdivision review.
The desired alignment of these corridors is based on a minimum of one —mile
spacing between the major transportation corridors' standards. The exact
locations of these corridors have not yet been determined, and
Map Series 7 is intended only to offer a simulated graphic depiction of
the proposed transportation patterns. In addition, Map Series 7 also
delineates those roadways identified in The Year 2010 Transportation Plan
report (existing corridors) from those roadways that are long —range
planning (proposed) corridors.
A -1. Northeast Quadrant
The existing major east /west transportation corridor in the Northeast
Quadrant's proposed urban extension area is U. S. Highway 50 —B, and the
existing major north /south transportation corridor is State Highway
(SH) 47.
Transportation corridors and facilities proposed for the Northeast
Quadrant include:
East /West Corridors
a. The eastern extension of Eagleridge Boulevard to the proposed
Troy Avenue extension (Principal Arterial).
b. The western extension of William White Boulevard from the airport to
SH 47 (Principal Arterial).

c. The eastern extension of Constitution Road to SH 47 (Minor Arterial).
d. The southeastern extension of Desertflower Boulevard to the University
of Southern Colorado (Minor Arterial).
e. The establishment of Alamosa Street east from the University of
Southern Colorado to the proposed realignment of Baculite Mesa Road
(Minor Arterial).
North /South Corridors
a. The northern extension of Lane 27 to the proposed
William White Boulevard extension (Minor Arterial).
b. The northern extension of Troy Avenue to the proposed
Eagleridge Boulevard extension (Minor Arterial).
c. The realignment of Baculite Mesa Road so that it intersects with the
proposed extension of William White Boulevard (Minor Arterial).
d. The northern extension of Lane 36 to United Avenue (Minor Arterial).
A bridge over the Fountain River and adjacent railroad tracks will be
required to fully link 47th Street ( Eagleridge Boulevard) with I -25 and
the transportation system west of the interstate. A full interchange
will be required at the point where William White Boulevard and
Constitution Road (extended) intersect with SH 47. Major grade separated
interchanges will also be required where Lanes 27 and 36 intersect with
U. S. Highway 50.
A -2. Southeast Quadrant
Transportation corridors and facilities which are proposed for the
Southeast Quadrant include:
East /West Corridors
The major east /west transportation corridor is U. S. Highway 50 —B in the
Southeast Quadrant's proposed urban extension area. Due to the highway's
location and volume capacity, and due to the natural barrier of the
Arkansas River on the south, no additional major east /west corridors will
be necessary within the proposed urban extension area. Increased
development within this area may make viable the construction of a highway
frontage road. In addition to serving future development, this frontage
road would provide an increased element of safety by controlling access
onto U. S. Highway 50 —B.
— IV -7 —
North /South Corridors
Baxter Road is the only principal north /south arterial in the proposed
urban extension area. The roadways which are classified as minor
north /south arterials are Joplin Avenue (SH 227), Baxter Road (SH 233),
and Lane 36 (SH 231).
It is anticipated that along with growth in this Southeast area the demand
for additional north /south transportation routes will increase. Proposed
major north /south transportation corridors include the southern extensions
of both Paul Harvey Boulevard and Lane 27, as identified in the Year 2010
Transportation Plan report. The construction of a bridge over the
Arkansas River will be necessary in order to extend Lane 27. Major grade
separated intersections will be necessary at the points where U. S.
Highway 50 —B crosses. Lanes 27 and 36. The exact alignment for new road
construction has not yet been determined. In some cases, it may be
necessary to relocate roadways in order to accommodate anticipated volume
in a manner that is both safe and compatible with existing land uses. The
Southeast Corridor Transportation Plan, adopted by the Pueblo Area Council
of Governments in January, 1991, provides a detailed discussion of
potential right —of —way alignment for the Paul Harvey Boulevard extension
south to Baxter Road.
A -3. Southwest Quadrant
The existing major east /west transportation corridors in the Southwest
Quadrant's proposed urban extension area are SH 78 and 96. There are
existing principal north /south arterials in the proposed urban extension
area.
Transportation corridors and facilities which are proposed for the
Southwest Quadrant include:
East /West Corridors
a. The western extension of Lehigh Avenue from Kingsroyal Boulevard to
Purcell Boulevard (Collector).
b. An unnamed road from SH 78 to the Purcell Boulevard extension
(Collector).
c. The western extension of Bridle Trail to Purcell Boulevard and the
eastern extension from Encino Drive to Alhambra Drive (Collector).
d. Capital Avenue from the I -25 frontage road to Purcell Boulevard
(Minor Arterial).
e. Purcell Boulevard from I -25 to SH 78 (Expressway).
f. Realignment of the I -25 frontage road to Prairie Avenue.
— IV -8 —
North /South Corridors
a. The southern extension of Beulah Avenue to the proposed realigned
I -25 frontage road (Minor Arterial)
b. The southern extension of Prairie Avenue to the proposed
Purcell Boulevard extension (Principal Arterial).
c. The southern extension of Hollywood Drive to the proposed
Purcell Boulevard extension (Minor Arterial).
d. The southern extension of Vinewood Lane to the proposed
Purcell Boulevard extension, connecting Vinewood Lane to
Burnt Mill Road (Collector).
e. The southern extension of Encino Drive to the proposed
Purcell Boulevard extension (Collector).
f. Bandera Boulevard south from SH 96 to the proposed Purcell Boulevard
extension (Principal Arterial).
g. The northern extension of Kingsroyal Boulevard to the proposed
Bandera Boulevard and the southern extension to a proposed unnamed
east /west road (Minor Arterial).
h. The southern extension of McCarthy Boulevard to meet existing
Westmoor Drive at SH 78, continuing through to proposed Capital Avenue
(Collector).
i. Purcell Boulevard south from SH 96 to meet the proposed east /west
Purcell Boulevard extension at SH 78, serving as a major
transportation loop (Expressway).
Major grade separated intersections will be necessary at points where
SH 78 crosses Purcell Boulevard, at the unnamed east /west collector where
SH 96 crosses Purcell Boulevard, and at the point where Purcell Boulevard
intersects with I -25. Capital Avenue will intersect with the I -25
frontage road.
A -4. Northwest Quadrant
The existing major east /west transportation corridors in the Northwest
Quadrant study area are U. S. Highway 50 —A and W. 4th Street. Existing
major north /south transportation corridors include Pueblo Boulevard and
Santa Fe Avenue.
Transportation corridors and facilities proposed for the Northwest
Quadrant include:
East /West Corridors
a. The western extension of W. 29th Street to Pueblo Boulevard
(Principal).
— IV -9 —
b. A bridge over the railroad at W. 24th Street creating a continuous
thoroughfare to Pueblo Boulevard.
c. The western extension of two roads from existing Pueblo Boulevard to
meet existing Joe Martinez Boulevard and existing Linden Avenue, both
in Pueblo West. The determination of which streets will be extended
(W. 29th, W. 24th, W. 21st, and /or W. 18th Streets) and where and how
they will intersect Pueblo Boulevard will require a detailed access
study of this area.
North /South Corridors
a. The northern (and eastern) extension of Pueblo Boulevard to I -25,
serving as a major transportation loop (Expressway).
b. The northwestern extension of Eagleridge Boulevard /W. 47th Street to
the proposed Pueblo Boulevard extension (Principal').
c. The northern extension of Wills Boulevard from North Drive to proposed
Eagleridge Boulevard extension and the southern extension from U. S.
50 —A to W. 24th Street (Minor).
d. The northern extension of Outlook Boulevard to the proposed
Pueblo Boulevard extension and the southern extension to U. S. 50 —A
(Principal).
e. The southern extension of High Street from W. 24th Street to
W. 17th Street (Minor).
f. The northeastern extension of Ridge Drive to the proposed
Outlook Boulevard extension (Minor),
g. The southern extension of Purcell Boulevard to SH 78, serving as a
major transportation loop (Expressway).
Major grade separated intersections will be necessary at points where
Pueblo Boulevard crosses U. S. Highway 50, Outlook Boulevard, and at the
point where it intersects with I -25, where Purcell Boulevard crosses U. S.
Highway 96 (as described in 1.C), and at one or two locations that have
not yet been determined for the roads that will connect Pueblo to
Pueblo West. A bridge will be necessary where Pueblo Boulevard crosses
the railroad, north of Highway 50 —A.
Proposed Roadway Construction Standards
All roadways within each quadrant shall be constructed to the City's
standards then in effect. The City of Pueblo's goal for street design
shall be no less than Level —of— Service "C," as defined by the Highway
Capacity Manual. It is envisioned that a new standard should be developed
— IV -10 —
for transportation corridors such as William White Boulevard and
Eagleridge (47th Street) Extensions, 27th Lane, and Purcell, Bandera, and
Pueblo Boulevards.
The optimum standard right —of —way (ROW) for principal arterial corridors
should be 150 ft. This would include a 125 ft. roadway ROW and a 25 ft.
trail ROW. The roadway would be a minimum of five lanes with a minimum of
six lanes being required at the intersection of major transportation
corridors, depending upon projected traffic volume. Public and private
access onto these roadways shall be strictly controlled as per the
Colorado State Highway Access Code The two opposing lanes of traffic
would be separated by a median with a minimum width of 20 ft. These
medians should be designed and landscaped in a manner that will minimize
maintenance costs and in accordance with City standards. Noise abatement
measures, in the form of increased building setback and /or construction of
noise buffers, should be required to ensure compatibility of residential
development and traffic noise. These roadways should be constructed to
include a pedestrian sidewalk on one side and a trail within the 25 ft.
trail ROW on the other. All trail ROW dedication should be credited to
the parkland dedication where appropriate. The trails shall be
constructed as per the Master Trails Plan then in effect.
The City currently requires developers to pay the entire cost of roadway
and sidewalk construction. Due to the fact that the envisioned standard
of these corridors exceeds the City's current standard, the City may
choose to study the adoption of an impact fee, or alternate system, to
help fund the construction of these corridors.
B. THE PROPOSED URBAN EXTENSION AREA
All residential, commercial, and industrial development within each
quadrant (more specifically, the proposed urban extension areas,
Map Series 2) shall conform to the City's Code of Ordinances then in
effect and the goals and policies of the Pueblo Regional Comprehensive
Development Plan.
It is anticipated that portions of the proposed urban extension areas of
each quadrant will experience residential, commercial, office, and
industrial growth. It is the intent of the community and of this plan
that diverse housing opportunities are maintained and that commercial and
industrial areas be appropriately placed in relation to existing
residential areas (See Map Series 8).
Map Series 8 also identifies existing industrial areas and the areas most
appropriate for industrial expansion or development as well as several
commercial nodes, mainly at the intersections of major transportation
corridors. Industrial development should not adjoin a residential area
unless a properly designed buffer is established between the two uses.
The buffer design standards shall be established by the City of Pueblo.
Clustering of subregional and highway commercial uses should be
encouraged, while "strip" type of commercial development should be
discouraged.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has established Design Noise
Level (DNL) guidelines to protect various land uses and noise - sensitive
activities (See Table I). These levels, expressed in decibels on the "A"
weighted scale (dBA), represent the upper limit of acceptable traffic
noise and are used to evaluate the degree of impact traffic noise has on
human activities. These guidelines are imposed on those roadways
utilizing Federal funding. If traffic noise computer modeling indicates
that noise - abatement measures are necessary, construction of noise barrier
walls and /or non - construction techniques are considered. Non - construction
techniques include prohibition or time restrictions on certain vehicle
types (trucks), exclusive land designation, modifications to the speed
limit, and increased setbacks for construction. All future development
shall comply with these guidelines when appropriate.
Zoning and land use policies impacted by airport noise shall be compatible
with airport operations. It is recommended that prior to the completion
of the FAA Part 150 Airport Noise Study and the Airport Master Plan
Update, development within airport noise zones be in accord with the
standards found in Table I.
Portions of the proposed urban extension area are within a 100 -year
floodplain. These areas are adjacent to the Fountain and Arkansas Rivers
and drainage ways at the Airport Industrial Park. Unless development can
qualify for a flood hazard development permit, most types of development
within these floodplains should be discouraged. Due to floodplain
development restrictions, the majority of those areas within a 100 -year
floodplain should be encouraged to be utilized as "open space" or "open
space /wildlife."
Industrial development should not join a residential area unless a
properly designed buffer is established between the two uses. The buffer
design standards shall be established by the City of Pueblo.
B -1. Northeast Quadrant
Urban residential development should be encouraged in the area immediately
north of the City limit line, east of the Fountain River to the boundary
of the proposed urban extension area. Residential development should also
be encouraged in the undeveloped area south of USC, west of Baculite Mesa
Road. These areas represent a logical expansion of both existing
residential neighborhoods and vacant land suitable for residential
development.
The Pueblo Memorial Airport and Industrial Park (AIP) encompass a majority
of the Northeast Quadrant. However, since increased activity and
development levels at the AIP will impact the entire community, it is
discussed in detail following this discussion on each quadrant.
Additional restrictions on both development and noise abatement regarding
airport noise contours are also discussed under the "Airport" section.

B -2. Southeast Quadrant
Petitioners seeking to annex property located within the Southeast
Quadrant will be required to grant a standard avigation easement to the
City. All rezoning requests within the proposed urban service area will
be requested to grant a standard avigation easement. A copy of said
easement is attached as Appendix 1.
In an effort to better evaluate anticipated land uses (See Map 8.b.), the
proposed urban extension area has been divided into three distinct regions
(See Map 9).
2.a. Upper Region (See Map 8.b.)
The upper region is bound on the north by U. S. Highway 50 -B and on the
south by the vacated Booth Orchard Ditch. Although it lies east of the
ditch, the Meadowbrook Mobile Home Park has been included in this region
for planning purposes. Please note that in those areas where the ditch
and the Special Flood Hazard Area (100 -year floodplain) of the
Arkansas River, Fountain Creek, and specific tributaries intersect, the
vacated Booth Orchard Ditch is used as the dividing line.
The upper region is not ideal for extensive residential development. The
closure of Baxter Elementary School due to insufficient enrollment
indicates a declining residential intensity in the area. It is
anticipated, however, that predicted residential development within the
Southeast Quadrant will require the reopening of the school in the future.
The lack of new housing stock in the upper region may be attributed to its
close proximity to U. S. Highway 50, the Pueblo Memorial Airport Airport
and Industrial Park, and close proximity to airport noise zones.
Currently, only a small area of the upper region is impacted by airport
noise; however, these noise zones may change or expand as a result of
airport growth. The planned instrumentation of the north /south runway
with resulting increased use will dramatically impact the noise contours
immediately south of the airport. A portion of the Baxter community,
currently a low -to- medium density residential (conventional and
manufactured) neighborhood (R -1, R -2, R -8), may be within the noise zone
influence area of the north /south runway. Residential development is not
desirable within this influence area. Compatible development is described
in Table I.
Mobile home parks and subdivisions (R -7, R -8) shall be permitted where
they currently exist. Expansion of the parks and subdivisions should be
closely monitored and allowed only if compatible to airport operations and
when opaque screening and appropriate roadway noise buffers are provided.
Additional mobile home parks and subdivisions should be allowed in those
areas that are suitable for medium density, urban - residential use.

It is anticipated that the market will dictate concentrations of
commercial /industrial land uses at the intersections of major
transportation corridors. Clustering of subregional and highway
commercial uses (B -2, B -3) should be promoted at the intersections of
U. S. Highway 50 —B with Lane 27, Paul Harvey Boulevard, Baxter Road, and
Lane 36. Commercial and office development (B -3, 0 -1) which is mixed with
light industrial uses (I -2) should be permitted along the U. S. Highway
50 —B corridor. Simultaneous development of a highway frontage road should
be required.
The upper region is in a state of transition. It is expected that it will
develop as a mixed —use area, including light industrial, commercial,
office uses, and multifamily residential. It is also expected that many
of these developments will support activities at the airport and AIP.
Heavy industrial uses are not anticipated and should not be encouraged.
Due to the existing mixed uses in the upper region, development should be
reviewed on a case —by —case basis. The density of land development will be
partially determined by the availability of water and sanitary services in
the area.
2.b. Middle Region (See Map 8.b
The middle region is bound on the north by the vacated Booth Orchard Ditch
and on the south by the northern boundary of the 100 —year floodplain. It
also includes the area east of the Meadowbrook Mobile Home Park (Lane 34)
that is south of U. S. Highway 50 —B and north of the 100 —year floodplain.
With the exception of one industrial area, the middle region consists of
dryland farming and scattered single — family residences. This type of
rural — residential development (one to five acres) should be encouraged in
this region. The vacated Booth Orchard Ditch should be viewed as a
transition line between the upper and middle regions, and medium to high
density residential development should only be considered within the
middle region as sanitary sewer services become available. Additional
industrial and commercial development should be discouraged since
commercial nodes within the upper region will sufficiently serve the
low— density needs of the middle region.
As build —out of the upper region occurs and land use patterns and growth
trends emerge, modification of the middle region's proposed land use will
be necessary.
2.c. Lower Region (See Map 8.b)
The lower region is bound on the north by the northern boundary of the
100 —year floodplain and on the south by the Arkansas River. It is
entirely within a 100 —year floodplain; and unless it can be demonstrated
through issuance of a flood hazard area development permit that said
development will not be affected by a flood of 100 —year magnitude, most
types of development within this region should be discouraged.
— IV -20 —
Although most types of development in this region should be discouraged,
large deposits of sand and gravel within these floodplains ensure that
high levels of extraction activity will continue in the lower region for
many years. The majority of the lower region has already been permitted
for the extraction of natural resources. These proposed extraction sites
contain thousands of acres; and due to bonding limitations and expense,
reclamation plans have been filed only on those acres currently being
mined. Recent water augmentation laws may impact extraction plans which
would result in exposed groundwater, thus impacting future reclamation
plans of those areas that contain a high groundwater table. It is
anticipated and should be encouraged that due to floodplain development
restrictions, the majority of this region will be reclaimed for "open
space /wildlife" use. Reclamation of this property as "open space/
wildlife" use will enhance and further the trail system along the
Arkansas River.
B -3. Southwest Quadrant
It is anticipated that the proposed urban extension area of the Southwest
Quadrant will experience a majority of the residential growth in Pueblo.
It is the intent of the community and of this plan that diverse housing
opportunities are maintained (See Map 8.c.).
Rural— residential development (one to five acres) should be encouraged in
the northeast portion of the proposed urban extension area and is the
preferred residential use in areas adjacent to the sensitive slopes south
of the Arkansas River. In addition, rural — residential development shall
be permitted on slopes of 20 percent or greater if submitted with
appropriate geology and soils tests that support little or no on —site or
off —site hazards which will result due to this development.
Mobile home parks and subdivisions shall be permitted where currently in
existence. Expansion of the parks and subdivisions should be closely
monitored and allowed only when opaque screening and appropriate roadway
noise buffers are provided. Additional mobile home parks and subdivisions
should be allowed in those areas suitable for medium — density,
urban — residential uses.
Commercial land uses at the intersections of major transportation
corridors should be encouraged in lieu of strip commercial development.
Clustering of subregional and highway commercial uses should be promoted
at the intersections depicted as commercial nodes (See Map 8.c.). Small
segments of strip commercial development shall be permitted along SH 78
and SH 96, where currently existing, and in areas which will serve as
buffers between existing industrial development and proposed residential
development.
Deposits of sand and gravel exist within a portion of a 100 —year
floodplain. Part of the proposed urban extension area has already been
permitted for the extraction of these natural resources. Due to bonding
limitations and expense, reclamation plans have been filed only on those
acres currently being mined.
— IV-21 —
VALCO, Inc. (discussed in greater detail in Section VIII -- Current Zoning
and Land Use), is the major company currently excavating natural resources
in the floodplains adjacent to the Arkansas River in the Southwest
Quadrant. Its reclamation plan, the "Chain of Lakes" concept, is a reuse
concept for the mined land whereby medium size (20 -25 acres) lakes will be
left along the Arkansas River for wildlife habitat (See Map 10). Water
augmentation laws may have an impact on extraction plans which could
result in exposed groundwater, such as these lakes, and may have an impact
on current and future reclamation plans of those areas that contain a high
groundwater table. Legislation is currently pending regarding the
"grandfather" date for which these type of evaporative losses would not
need to be augmented.
It should be encouraged that these extraction sites, particularly those
along the Arkansas River, be reclaimed for "open space /wildlife" uses.
Reclamation of this property as such, coupled with the utilization of thq
100 —year floodplain around the Goodnight Arroyo as "open space," will
enhance and further the trails system within the Southwest Quadrant.
Located southwest of the Regency Park Subdivision, also within the
proposed urban extension area, is the old Southwest Dump. Records show
that this dump has been inactive since approximately 1966. Little is
known about the environmental constraints that may surface upon develop—
ment of this property. Extensive testing should be required in order to
ensure that safe and appropriate land use is established. This dump is
described in more detail in Section VIII -- Current Zoning and Land Use.
B -4. Northwest Quadrant
It is anticipated that the proposed urban extension area of the Northwest
Quadrant will experience residential, commercial, office, and industrial
growth. It is the intent of the community and of this plan that diverse
housing opportunities are maintained and that commercial and industrial
areas be appropriately placed in relation to existing residential areas
(See Map 8.d.).
Urban residential development should be encouraged in the area adjacent to
the existing City limit boundary near the Eagleridge Subdivision extending
west to the railroad, north to proposed Pueblo Boulevard extension, and
west of the existing Northridge Subdivision to the proposed extension of
Pueblo Boulevard. Additional urban residential development is anticipated
south of the proposed extension of W. 29th Street. Mobile home parks and
subdivisions should be allowed in those areas suitable for
medium — density /urban residential uses.
Commercial land uses at the intersections of major transportation
corridors should be encouraged in lieu of strip commercial development.
Clustering of subregional and highway commercial uses should be promoted
at the intersections depicted as commercial nodes (See Map 8.d.). Small
segments of strip commercial development shall be permitted along SH 50,
where currently existing, and in areas in which access off the highway can
be adequately controlled by a frontage road.

Industrial development is anticipated to be a major land use within the
proposed urban extension area due to its proximity to major transportation
corridors, existing industrial uses in the immediate area, and the
railroad. Industrial development should not adjoin a residential area
unless a properly designed buffer is established between the two uses.
A portion of the State Honor Farm property is located within the proposed
urban extension area (See Map 8.d.). This 320 acre State —owned property
is currently being master planned by the State Parks Department, and at
this point it is anticipated that the property will either be used as open
space, leased to the City for an undetermined use, developed as industrial
property, or disposed.
There have been no formal negotiations for the City to lease the
property. This 320 —acre parcel is bisected by the above — described.
floodplain. Development of this area will require the developer to obtain
a flood hazard development permit.
It is recommended that land within the State Honor Farm which has been
earmarked for disposal (as described in Section VII -- Public
Facilities -- Existing and Proposed Plans) along with the proposed roadways
from Pueblo Boulevard to Pueblo West be included into a "State Honor Farm
planning study area." This property and these roadways will be looked at
in greater detail (i.e., proposed land uses, need, and location of
roadways) in the proposed study.
B -5. Pueblo West
Also within the study area of the Northwest Quadrant lies a portion of the
Pueblo West community. Pueblo West, a metropolitan district located
six miles northwest of the City of Pueblo, covers over 30,000 acres
(See Map 11). No portion of Pueblo West lies within the proposed urban
extension area. However, the proximity of Pueblo West to the City of
Pueblo has greatly affected long —range planning in the Northwest Quadrant
for the reason that approximately 27,500 of its 33,000+ acres have already
been subdivided into 19,870 plus lots. The lots are zoned for urban,
rural, mobile home and multi — family residential, commercial, and indus—
trial uses. Only a small fraction of these lots have been developed.
Availability of these already subdivided lots will impact development in
the area between the boundaries of Pueblo West and the City of Pueblo.
Sales of Pueblo West lots began in 1969 and to date approximately 85
percent of the project has been sold. The 1970's showed a very slow
build —out rate for Pueblo West, and in 1976 it was anticipated that it
would take approximately 200 years for the community to achieve its full
projected population of 65,000. The 1980's, however, have shown a great
increase in new construction, and for the past several years building
permit data indicates that the majority of new single family residential
construction in Pueblo County is occurring in Pueblo West. The 1990
Census showed Pueblo West's population to be 4,386.

The Pueblo West Metropolitan District governs the services provided to lot
purchasers and is empowered to acquire, operate, and maintain a domestic
water system, a sanitary sewer system (to all lots less than one acre in
size), surface and stormwater drainage, fire protection, street paving,
curbs, gutters, and culverts, bridges, sidewalks, lighting, traffic and
safety controls, and parks and recreational facilities.
B -6. Pueblo Memorial Airport and Industrial Park
6.a. Ai rport
The Pueblo Memorial Airport and the adjacent industrial park is located
six miles east of Downtown Pueblo and occupies 3,800 acres of land. The
airport was established in 1943 as an Army Air Corps Base. In 1953, the
facility was transferred to the City for use as a municipal airport.
Occupying 2,900 acres with three runways, terminal, and complete air -side
facilities, the airport serves as a major air facility to Southern
Colorado.
The Master Plan for Pueblo Memorial Airport by Isbill Associates, Inc.,
refers to the "primary trade area' as the "geographic area from where the
greatest majority of airline passengers are normally generated." The
"primary trade area for Pueblo Memorial Airport includes Pueblo,
Colorado City, and Pueblo West. "Secondary trade areas" extend to
La Junta, Rocky Ford, Walsenburg, and small mountain resorts. The volume
and type of air traffic (passenger or cargo) is related to the population,
seasonal employment, and economic climate of these trade areas.
Based on increasing population, rising employment opportunities, and
increasing business and industry in the Pueblo area, an increasing demand
for all airport services is probable. Pueblo's Aviation Director states
that the airport could accommodate four commercial airlines. Beyond four,
the terminal building and other facilities would be in need of major
expansion.
The operations budget for the airport is allocated by the City of Pueblo.
Additional funding for capital improvements is available through the
Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Entitlement Program.
Approximately $2.5 million in proposed improvement projects are planned
for the Pueblo Memorial Airport. Federal funding is allocated through a
priority system. Projects such as those concerning air -side facilities
are of priority and receive funding over projects to renovate public
areas. It is unlikely that Pueblo will receive the entire 52.5 million as
not all proposed projects are top priority.
6.b. The Airport Industrial Park
The remaining 900 acres not committed to airport operations have been made
available for light industrial uses. This zone (I -1 or I -2) allows for
wholesaling activities, printing, warehousing, and some types of
manufacturing. Initially, all the land in the AIP was owned by the City.
- IV -26 -
Between 1953 and the early 1980's, a small number of industrial users,
including Dana Corporation, Metal Processing, Pueblo Diesel, OK Tooling,
the Government Printing Office and Martec, moved into the AIP.
In the early 1980's, the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation (PEDCo),
a joint public /private economic development effort, was founded. PEDCo
began actively marketing the community and promoting the industrial
development of the AIP. The first major corporation to respond to the
effort was the Sperry Corporation, now Unisys, which announced their
intention to locate in Pueblo in 1984. They were followed by the Target
Distribution Center, McDonnell Douglas Astronautics, Kurt Manufacturing,
PCL Packaging, Atlas Pacific, Pryor Giggey, Trane Company, Glenn Trucking
Company, Kaiser Aerospace Electronics, and B. F. Goodrich. There are 496
acres of developable land still available at the AIP. Employment has
increased from an available average AIP census prior to Sperry's
announcement of 660 to approximately 2,500 in October of 1987.
6.c. Fire Protection -- Airport and Airport I Park (AIP)
A City fire station is located at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. It is
equipped with a three -way pumper truck, two crash trucks with foam and
powder fire retardant, and three two - person shifts. This station's
protection service area includes the airport terminal, air side
facilities, and the industrial park. Presently, the annual operation's
expenditure for the airport station is $248,000 (1988).
In the case of an emergency, the airport fire fighters and at least one
station from the City are simultaneously dispatched. The airport crew
arrives within minutes and after assessing the scene can request
additional support. If an emergency occurs in the AIP, the same sequence
is followed; however, when sufficient support crews arrive, the airport
team must return to its station so as to ready itself for any air -side
emergency.
The City Fire and County Volunteer Rural Fire Departments have a standing
Mutual Aid Agreement which provides that either department will respond to
aid the other on request. The one exception is in the event of an
air -side emergency, in which case the Rural County fire fighters are
immediately dispatched.
Rural Station No. 2, located on Baxter Road, is two miles from the airport
and has a response time of two to three minutes. It is staffed by a
four - person crew and equipped with a pumper truck and foam fire
retardants.
6.d. Emergency Services
The greatest shortfall in emergency services at the airport, according to
the Aviation Director, is that of medical attention. Firemen and police
officers are often licensed as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), but
any advanced aid or transportation to a medical facility must first be
- IV -27 -
,.,.l it Y1�II
dispatched to the airport from the City. A rather lengthy delay is
incurred and this could be detrimental in the case of an emergency.
6.e. Airport Police Protection
The airport and the AIP is primarily a City development project on City
land. Currently, all law enforcement and regulation is provided by the
Pueblo City Police Department with the assistance of airport /private
agency security personnel.
The City Police Department has incorporated the airport into the City's
Southeast area police beat. However, because of the busy nature of this
patrol, the airport is not frequently accommodated. Night shifts are not
scheduled to patrol the airport or the AIP.
Federal law requires that a uniformed police officer be present at the
airport terminal when departing passengers are screened. No officer is
permanently assigned to this duty. When a commercial airline is scheduled
for departure, a City police officer must fulfill the duties at the
airport.
City Law Enforcement Code 3 -1 -4 states that all Pueblo City traffic
ordinances apply to the airport and that the airport director is
responsible for the enforcement of these ordinances. Currently, airport
personnel enforce parking regulations and City police enforce all other
traffic ordinances. City ordinances on personal conduct also apply at the
airport and are enforced by City police,
There are no formal, written agreements with the County indicating under
whose jurisdiction the airport falls -- County or City. Also, there are no
written guarantees with the individual industries that City police shall
provide the protection.
Airport security personnel patrol the airport and will assist any law
enforcement officer or private agency security guard. The airport
security guards are issued a police commission which allows them to detain
suspects and issue traffic and parking citations. They do not carry
firearms. Target and Unisys are the only industries employing security
personnel. These guards carry firearms but do not leave the premises of
their respective employers.
If law enforcement services continue as are currently practiced, and if
the airport builds out, a new City patrol beat may be needed. Annexation
will necessitate this beat and will include the revenue to pay for it.
Currently, City police protection to the airport, terminal, and industrial
park is provided from other City patrol beats and is not paid for from
airport revenue or industry service fees.
6.f. Pueblo Memorial Airport Noise Zones
Pueblo Memorial Airport is classified in the National Airport System Plan
as a non —hub, medium — density, secondary air — carrier airport. Its annual
— IV -28 —
aircraft operations range between 100,000- 250,000 and 50,000- 100,000
annual passenger enplanements (departures). In 1991, there were 45,004
enplaned passengers. Air carrier service is provided by Continental
Express, Trans World Airways, and United Express Airlines. The airport
facilities are available to both civilian and military uses. Flight
training occurs 24 hours daily by the Army, United Airlines, Aspen
Airlines, Continental Express Airlines, Trans Colorado Airlines, and
Evergreen International (for United Postal Service).
The airport has two runways; the main runway is 10,496 x 150 ft.
east —west. The secondary runway is 7,000 x 150 feet north /south. Over
90 percent of all general aviation and military operations occur on the
east —west runway.
Isbill Associates, Inc., prepared an Airport Master Plan for the Airport
in 1975. Noise zones, or those areas significantly impacted by aircraft
noise, were measured by Composite Noise Ratings (CNR's). The following
three signifcantly impacting zones that were identified are Zone 5 - -115+
CNR's - -the highest next to the runway; Zone 2-- 100 -115 CNR's in the
takeoff and landing areas; and Zone 1 - -90 -100 CNR's outside those areas
(See Map 12). Residential land uses were "Normally Acceptable" by these
FAA standards in Zone 1, "Normally Unacceptable in Zone 2, and "Clearly
Unacceptable" in Zone 3.
These FAA standards are guidelines and "are not intended to substitute
Federally determined land uses for those determined to be appropriate by
local authorities in response to locally determined needs and values in
achieving noise compatible land uses."
These zones are indicative of older aircraft with noisier engines using
different takeoff and landing patterns than today's quieter planes.
Pursuant to the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the FAA has
streamlined the process for determining noise exposure levels and land use
capabilities around airports. All Federal noise levels are now measured
in Average Day —Night Sound Levels (LDN). Through the use of quieter
aircraft and different takeoff and landing patterns, the noise zones have
changed since 1975 (See Map 13). Through the use of a sophisticated
computer modeling program developed by the FAA, aircraft types and takeoff
and landing patterns are computed for a more accurate depiction of today's
noise levels.
These new zones study which were prepared in 1987 by the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs for the City of Pueblo depict noise areas,
especially in Zone 2, differently than in 1975. This study, while not
approved by the FAA, is indicative of a change in zone areas. A new
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 150 noise study will be forthcoming.
This new study will be the most accurate study yet prepared. It will use
manual calculations, actual field measurements, and computer modeling.
The CNR and LDN noise levels are compared in Table II. Land use
compatibility tables, recommended by the FAA, are listed in Table III.
Zone 3 is recommended only for open space, agriculture, or industrial
development. In Zones 1 and 2, residential development and other land
uses are recommended only with noise abatement construction.

*The designations contained in this table do not constitute a Federal determination that any use or land covered by
the program is acceptable or unacceptable under Federal, State, or local law. The responsibility for determining
the acceptable and permissible land uses remains with the local authorities. FAA determinations under FAR Part
150 are not Intended to substitute federally- determined land uses for those determined to be appropriate by local
authorities In response to locally- determined needs and values in achieving noise compatible land uses.
Y (Yes) -- Land use and related structures compatible without restrictions.
N (No) -- Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited.
NLR -- Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation Into the
design and construction of the structure.
20, 25, or 30 -- Land use and related structure generally compatible, measures to achieve NLR or 25, 30, or 35 must
be incorporated into design and construction of structure.
1- Where the community determines that residential uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor
Noise Level Reduction (MLR) of at least 25 de and 30 de should be Incorporated Into building codes and be con-
sidered in individual approvals. Normal construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 de, thus, the
reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10, or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume
mechanical ventilation and closed vindws year round. However, the use of MLR criteria will not eliminate out-
door noise problems.
2- Measures to achieve NLR of 25 must be incorporated Into the design and construction of portions of these build -
Ingt where the public Is received, office trees, noise- sensitive areas or where the normal noise level Is low.
3- Measures to achieve NLR of 30 must be Incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these build -
ings where the public Is received, office areas, noise - sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low,
4- Measures to achieve NLR of 35 must be Incorporated Into the design and construction of portions of these build -
Ings where the public Is received, office areas, noise - sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low,
5 - Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed,
6- Residential buildings require an NLR of 25.
7- Residential buildings require an NLR of 30.
8- Residential buildings not permitted.

C. DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
All development within each quadrant -shall be undertaken in accordance
with the then — existing City Code of Ordinance and the Policies of the
Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Development Plan
The following guidelines should be considered at the time of development
for properties within each quadrant.
1. Residential
a. Transitional high— density residential (R -4, R -5, R -6) or office (0 -1)
development between single — family residential (R -1, R -2) and
commercial (B -1, B -2, B -3) land uses should be encouraged.
b. No single — family residential units (R -1, R -2, R -3, R -4) shall be
permitted private access onto major transportation corridors.
c. The Colorado State Highway Access Code shall be followed in permitting
a common access onto major transportation corridors for multiple
residential units (R -5, R -6, R -7).
d. All residential units adjacent to principal arterials and expressways
shall be required to provide properly engineered noise buffers (e.g.,
berms, fencing, landscaping, or increased setback) between the
residence and the roadway. The buffers must meet a design standard,
to be established by the City of Pueblo.
e. Every attempt should be made to pursue compatible zoning and land use
policies in those areas impacted by airport operations. It is highly
recommended that residential development within Airport Noise Zones 1,
2, and 3 be in accord with the standards found in Table III.
f. Petitioners for annexations within Airport Noise Zones 1, 2, and 3
will be required to grant to the City a standard avigation easement.
A copy of said agreement is attached as Appendix 1.
g. Every effort should be made to link residential development with the
City's Master Trails System.
2. Commercial
a. Clustering of neighborhood and highway commercial uses depicted as
commercial nodes on Map Series 8 should be permitted if compatible
with existing land uses.
b. The Colorado State Highway Access Code shall be followed in permitting
a commercial access onto major transportation corridors.
c. Commercial development within Airport Noise Zones 1, 2, and 3 should
be in accord with the standards found in Table III.
— IV -34 —
d. Petitioners within

Appendix 1).
3. Industrial

City a standard avigation easement (See attached
a. Industrial development should not be permitted adjacent to residential
areas. If such an industrial area develops, it must be contingent
upon the construction of an adequate buffer between the two uses.
b. The Colorado State Highway Access Code shall be followed in permitting
an industrial access onto major transportation corridors.
C. It is also recommended that light industrial development be allowed to
occur in the "light industrial" and "mixed use" areas which contain an
appropriate industrial zone designation (depicted on Map Series 8).
These areas include the Airport Industrial Park, the area south of the
proposed William White Boulevard extension between SH 47 and the AIP,
and the area between I -25 and the Fountain River near the northern
City limits boundary. Other areas are primarily scattered south of
U. S. Highway 50 —C and areas south of the City limits boundaries.
Industrial development mixed with highway commercial uses shall be
permitted adjacent to the proposed extension of Pueblo Boulevard and
existing U. S. Highway 50.
d. Industrial development within Airport Noise Zones 1, 2, and 3 should
be in accord with the standards found in Table III.
e. Petitioners within all noise zones within each quadrant will be
required to grant to the City a standard avigation erasement (See
attached as Appendix 1).
4. Mineral Resource Extraction Area
a. All mineral resource extraction areas adjacent to residential units
shall be required to provide properly engineered noise buffers between
the extraction area and the residences. The buffers must meet a
design standard, to be established by the City of Pueblo.
D. PUBLIC FACILITIES
1. Police
There are currently no plans to locate a police substation within the area
covered by the Three —Mile Annexation Plan. However, extensive annexation
and development in the Southeast Quadrant, coupled with growth at the AIP,
will require that an additional patrol route be instituted. This patrol
route would adequately serve the Southeast Quadrant's proposed urban
extension service area at build —out.
— IV -35 —
_10
2. Fire
Fire Department standards require that new fire stations be central to
their service area. No point should be further than one and one -half
miles from the station. Additional fire stations or expansion of staff
and equipment will be required at the airport fire station No. 10 to
provide protection to the proposed urban extension area at build -out. The
exact locations of other new fire stations have not been investigated, as
these locations will be dependent upon where development takes place, new
road construction, number and density of new buildings, and other factors
which may affect response time.
A tentative site for a new fire station in the University Park
neighborhood has been selected. The site fronts on the east side of
Jerry Murphy Boulevard, south of 47th Street, and north of
Candytuft Boulevard. A new fire station will be built on this site if
investigations conclude that the site can service the University Park
neighborhood and residential development proposed for the City's new
municipal golf course. Construction of the fire station is expected to
commence when funds are available.
3. Schools
The proposed urban extension area is within both School Districts Nos. 60
and 70. Decisions to build new school facilities are made on a
case -by -case basis. School District No. 60 currently possesses future
school sites in University Park, Northridge, and Eagleridge Subdivisions.
A detailed discussion regarding schools is contained in Section VII,
Public Facilities -- Existing and Proposed Plans.
E. PARKS, OPEN SPACE, AND TRAILS
1. Parks
As residential development occurs, it may become necessary to develop new
parks in these areas to meet new demands. Parks shall be dedicated by the
developer of residential areas, as per the City Subdivision Ordinance,
Section 12- 4 -7(e), or as may subsequently be amended. The City of Pueblo
will not accept a dedication of a park site unless said property meets the
criteria for the provision of free water as set forth by the Board of
Water Works' Rules and Regulations.
a. Neighborhood Park
Neighborhood parks shall be developed on a minimum of five acres of land
which is accessible to all subdivision residents. These parks shall have
sufficient areas for recreational activities including but not limited to
playgrounds, multipurpose courts, and open and shaded grassed areas.
- IV -36 -
Dedicated parkland shall be located, when possible, adjacent to school
district facilities for shared usage. Dedication of drainage ways, steep
slopes, or other "nondevelopable land" for use as parks may not be
permitted. The City may accept drainage ways as a part of the master
trails system if they are identified on the master trails map and are
improved in accordance with the Storm Drainaqe Criteria Manual.
b. District Park
Each quadrant of the City could support a district park facility. Such
parks should contain amenities such as playing fields, court sports,
landscaped areas, and, in some cases, a recreation center and /or swimming
pool. Areas identified for potential district park sites include land
between the Fountain Creek and University Park Subdivision, Lane 27
(extended), and the Arkansas River; the intersections of the proposed
intersections of Bandera Boulevard and Lehigh Avenue; and W. 24th and
High Streets.
c. Regional Park
Every attempt should be made to acquire over 200 acres for a regional
"urban Park" on the west side of Baculite Mesa Road (See Map Series 8).
This site would be open for multiple recreational uses including but not
limited to ball fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, soccer fields,
picnic areas, and playgrounds. The area contains three sand and gravel
pits which, once renovated, would serve as a natural scenic area. There
is also a spring which could be incorporated into the plans for the area.
Land at the confluence of the Fountain Creek and Arkansas River should be
acquired for development of a regional park. This park would serve the
entire urban community and should consist of a minimum of 200 acres. A
conceptual plan developed by the City Department of Planning and
Development combines the Arkansas River areas -- Runyon Field and adjacent
vacant land - -into a regional park in excess of 300 acres. This site would
be open for multiple recreational uses including but not limited to
ball fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, soccer fields, picnic areas,
and playfields. Limited water sports and access to recreational trails
would be provided. Included in the conceptual plan is an open air
amphitheater; such a theater would be near Pueblo's Downtown, thereby
complementing any future conventional /hotel facility.
2. Open Space
Open spaces are areas of non — developed land. They can include or consist
of unique natural areas, historic locations, or other amenities. Such
spaces can create a community's individual identity. Open space offers
relief from urban activities and growth pressures.
— IV -37 —
The floodplains of the Arkansas and Fountain Rivers are considered to be
critical riparian habitats by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Every
attempt should be made to maintain the - designated 100 —year floodplain in
its natural state. Every effort should be made to reclaim and enhance
those areas of the floodplain which were previously disturbed and /or
developed. These open spaces may be traversed by developed bicycle and
pedestrian trails, and scenic, historic, or archaeological viewing areas.
In such case where development on a
flood hazard development permit shall

3. Trails
To ensure continuity of the bicycle and pedestrian trails system, all
developers should be responsible for the dedication of rights —of —way and
the extension of those trail corridors through their development.
Alternately, the developer may be required to pay a fee towards
construction of the master trails system. These trails shall be
identified by the City of Pueblo's Bicycle System and Trails Plan, then in
effect. The trails and bicycle lane system should be located along major
roadways, natural scenic areas, river floodplains, arroyos, parks and
school locations, watercourses, and central commercial centers. All
trails shall be constructed pursuant to standards as set forth by the
Bicycle System and Trails Plan, then in effect.
Map Series 14 illustrates potential trail locations. These lie primarily
parallel to major roadways, as identified on the "Proposed Transportation
Corridors" Map.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
PREFACE
The purpose of this review is to provide an understanding of current
environmental conditions, identify potential hazards, and determine the
potential for mineral resource extractions in each quadrant. The results
of this review will then be used as a planning tool to ensure that
environmental constraints are recognized and mitigated prior to
development and that environmentally sensitive lands are conserved.
Section A, Environmental Inventory, identifies geological, topographical,
and biological characteristics of the study area. Climate, air quality,
and water quality will also be addressed. Section B, Environmental
Constraints, identifies potential hazardous areas and mineral resource
reserves.
A. ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY
1. Bedrock Geology
Bedrock is the undisturbed, unbroken rock at earth's surface upon which
transported surficial deposits lie. The bedrock in the study areas is
primarily of sediment and marine origin (70 to 100 million years old).
From an economic point of view, sedimentary rocks are extremely important
because many of our natural resources are formed by sedimentary processes;
the most familiar found in the study areas include sand, gravel, and clay.
In addition, since sedimentary rocks are produced by interactions of the
hydrologic system and the earth's crust, they record the history of
physical and biological events on the earth. From this record, we are
able to interpret ancient mountain building and specific erosion patterns
that may impact development.
A -1 -a. Northeast Quadrant
The bedrock in the Northeast Quadrant consists of Pierre Shales and
Niobrara Formations (See Map 15.a.). Members of the Pierre Shales include
Rusty Zone member, Sharon Springs member, Transition member, Teppe Zone
member, and Apache Creek Sandstone member. Members of the Niobrara
Formations include Upper Chalky Shale and the Overlying Upper Chalk
member. The Upper Chalky Shale is 265 ft. thick and the Pierre Shale
Teppe Zone and Transition Zone are 635 ft. and 228 ft. thick,
respectively. These swelling clay members with limited beds of Bentonite
can present problems for excavation, have high shrink -swell properties,
and are not suitable for use as a material directly under a road.
Corresponding geologic properties of both bedrock and surficial geologic
amounts can be found in Table IV.a.

A -1 —b. Southeast Quadrant
The bedrock in the Southeast Quadrant consists of Pierre shales (Kpl) and
Niobrara formations (Kn) (See Map 15.b.). Members of the Pierre shales
include Apache Creek Sandstone (Kpa), Sharon Springs (Kps), and Transition
(Kpt). Members of the Niobrara.(Kn) formations include Upper Chalk (Ksuc)
and Upper Chalky Shale (Ksuc). Their corresponding geologic properties
can be found in Table IV.b.
Beds of Bentonite can be found in these shale formations. Bentonite has a
high clay content which expands when the water level is increased. This
expansion can cause damage to structures. Engineering techniques should
be researched and utilized in areas determined to have expansive soils.
Most bedrock in the region contains sulfate compounds. When dissolved,
these compounds react with concrete and cause deterioration.
Deterioration can be avoided in most new construction by use of sulfate
resistant cement.
A -1 —c. Southwest Quadrant
The bedrock in the Southwest Quadrant consists of Carlile Shale, Greenhorn
Limestone, Graneros Shale, Dakota Sandstone, and Niobrara formations (Kn)
(See Map 15.c.). Members of the Carlile Shales include Fairport Chalky
Shale, Blue Hill Shale, Codell Sandstone Shale, and Juana Lopez.
Greenhorn Limestone includes Bridge Creek Limestone, Hartland Shale, and
Lincoln Limestone members. Members of the Niobrara (Kn) formations
include Fort Hays Limestone and the overlying Smoky Hills Shale member.
Fort Hays Limestone consists of approximately 82 percent limestone and
18 percent shale and does not pose any severe limitations to development.
The Smoky Hill shale member consists of Upper Chalk Unit, Upper Chalky
Shale Unit, Middle Shale Unit, Lower Limestone Unit, Lower Shale Unit, and
the Shale and Limestone Unit. The Smoky Hill Shale member collectively is
700 ft. thick. Corresponding geologic properties can be found in
Table IV.c.
Limited beds of Bentonite can be found in both the Carlile and Smoky Hill
Shale formations. Bentonite has a high clay content which expands when
the water level is increased. This expansion can cause damage to
structures. Engineering techniques should be researched and utilized in
areas that have been determined to have expansive soils. In addition,
erosion of the Carlile Shale and difficulty of excavation of the Smoky
Hill Shale member pose the primary engineering concerns in the area.
A -1 —d. Northwest Quadrant
The bedrock in the Northwest Quadrant consists of Pierre Shales (Kpl),
Niobrara Formations (Kn), Carlile Shale, Greenhorn Limestone, Graneros
Shale, and Dakota Sandstone (Kcg) (See Map 15.d.). Members of the Pierre
Shales include Rusty Zone of Gilbert, Sharon Springs member, Apache Creek

Sandstone member, and Transition member. Members of the Niobrara
Formations include Fort Hays Limestone and the overlying Smoky Hills Shale
member. Fort Hays Limestone consists of approximately 82 percent
limestone and 18 percent shale and does not pose any severe limitations to
development. The Smoky Hill Shales member consists of Upper Chalk Unit,
Upper Chalky Shale Unit, Middle Chalk Unit, Middle Shale Unit, Lower
Limestone Unit, Lower Shale Unit, and the Shale and Limestone Unit. The
Smoky Hill Shale member collectively is 700 ft. thick. Members of the
Carlile Shales include Fairport Chalky Shale, Blue Hill Shale, Codell
Sandstone Shale, and Juana Lopez. Greenhorn Limestone includes Bridge
Creek Limestone, Hartland Shale, and Lincoln Limestone members. Their
corresponding geologic properties can be found in Table IV.d.
Limited beds of Bentonite can be found in both the Carlile and Smoky Hill
Shale formations. Bentonite has a high clay content which expands when.
the water level is increased. This expansion can cause damage to
structures. Engineering techniques should be researched and utilized in
areas determined to have expansive soils. In addition, erosion -of the
Carlile Shale and difficulty of excavation of the Smoky Hill Shale member
pose the primary engineering concerns in the area.
2. Surficial Geology
Much of the bedrock in the quadrant study areas is covered with surficial
deposits. This material is composed of clay, silt, sand, and gravel that
has been deposited by running water and wind. These surficial deposits
overlie the sedimentary bedrock except where faulting, folding, or erosion
have exposed bedrock sections. The USGS has detailed maps locating
surficial deposits in the Southeast Quadrant. It is recommended that
these maps be used as reference during all stages of planning and
development.
A -2 —a. Northeast Quadrant
Surficial deposits in the Northeast Quadrant include Broadway Alluvium,
Colluvium, Eolian Sand, Louviers Alluvium, Nussbaum Alluvium, Piney —Creek
Alluvium, Post —Piney Creek Alluvium, and Verdes Alluvium (See Map 16.a.).
Some of these deposits can present flood hazards or engineering problems
due to expansive soils. The geologic properties of these deposits are
listed on Table V.a.
A -2 —b. Southeast Quadrant
Surficial deposits in the Southeast Quadrant include Broadway Alluvium,
Colluvium, Eolian Sand, Louviers Alluvium, Post —Piney Creek Alluvium,
Rocky Flats Alluvium, and Slocum Alluvium (See Map 16.b.). The geologic
properties of these deposits are located in Table V.b.

Surficial deposits in the Southwest Quadrant include Broadway Alluvium,
Colluvium, Eolian Sand, Piney —Creek Alluvium, Post —Piney Creek Alluvium,
and Slocum Alluvium (See Map 16.c.). The geologic properties of these
deposits are located in Table V.c.
A -2 —d. Northwest Quadrant
Surficial deposits in the Northwest Quadrant include Post —Piney Creek
Alluvium, Colluvium, Piney —Creek Alluvium, Eolian Sand, Broadway Alluvium,
Louviers Alluvium, and Slocum Alluvium (See Map 16.d.). The geologic
properties of these deposits are located in Table V.d.
3. Soils
A soil association refers to a landscape that has a distinctive pattern of
soils composition in defined proportions. Map 17 series illustrate soil
associations in each quadrant. These soils have been classified into
three groups: River Bottom and Terrace Soils, Plains Soils, and Foothills
Soils.
The following information refers to general soil compositions. More
specific information is available and should be referenced for detailed
Planning and Development decisions.
A -3 —a. Northeast Quadrant
As shown on Map 17.a., the soils in the Northeast Quadrant and their
characteristics are:
River Bottom and Terrace Soils
#7: Las Association - -Warm, deep, poorly and somewhat poorly
drained, nearly level soils on floodplains.
(2) Plains Soils
#8: Manvel, Minnequa, and Penrose Association - -Warm, deep,
shallow, and well — drained gently sloping soils on uplands
plains.
(3) Foothills Soils
#39: Cascajo and Sunsil Association Warm, deep, and shallow,
excessively drained to well— drained, and gently sloping to
moderately steep soils on uplands breaks.
#46: Penrose Association - -Warm, shallow, well— drained steep and
moderately steep soils on uplands breaks.

4. Landforms
Landforms refer to the topographical characteristics in a specific area.
They result from the interaction of three factors -- structure, process, and
stage. Structure refers to an existing surface or geologic structure
found in the area. Process is the natural and chemical erosional element
which modifies the structure. Stage indicates the length of time in which
the erosion takes place.
Elevation in the urban extension area ranges from 4,550 ft. above sea
level at the Arkansas River to 5,344 ft. above sea level at San Carlos
Mesa.
Physical characteristics of each quadrant are illustrated on Map 18
series.

5. Drainage
5a. Northeast Quadrant
The area slopes from Baculite Mesa and adjoining mesas southward to the
Arkansas River and southwest to the Fountain Creek. Slopes on the mesas
range from seven to twenty -five percent and from three to seven percent
over the lowland prairie. Much of the Pueblo Memorial Airport and
industrial park have been graded to slopes of less than three percent.
There are eight sub - drainage basins which flow into the Fountain Creek and
Arkansas River; they are the East Dry Creek and seven unnamed basins
(See Map 19.a.). These arroyos, or intermittent stream courses, have been
created in highly erosive silt and clay alluviums. Stream flows are
created primarily during thunderstorms in which rapid runoffs flow into
the arroyos.
5b. Southeast Quadrant
The area slopes from the bluffs near CF &I and adjoining mesas southward to
the Arkansas River. Slopes on the bluffs and mesas range from seven to
twenty -five percent (7 -25 %) and from zero to seven percent (0 -7 %) over the
lowland prairie. There are seven sub - drainage basins which flow into the
Arkansas River (See Map 19.b.).
5c. Southwest Quadrant
The drainage basins in the Southwest Quadrant study area are the Boggs
Creek Basin, Salt Creek Basin, and Blue Ribbon Creek Basin (See Map
19.c.). These basins are south bank tributaries to the Arkansas River,
the region's primary watercourse. To obtain the greatest benefit from
gravitational flow, the ultimate location of sanitary and storm sewers
will be dictated by these drainage basins.
5d. Northwest Quadrant
The drainage basins in the Northwest Quadrant study area are the Fountain
Creek Basin, Dry Creek Basin, and an unnamed basin (See Map 19.d.). These
basins are north -bank tributaries to the region's primary watercourse - -the
Arkansas River. To obtain the greatest benefit from gravitational flow,
the ultimate location of sanitary and storm sewers will be dictated by
these drainage basins.
6. Floodplains
Several watercourses, rivers, and arroyos are classified as 100 -year
floodplains in this study. A 100 -year floodplain is considered an area
with a one percent chance of flooding in any single year, or once every
100 years (See Map 19 series). Environmental constraints that result from
these floodplain hazards are described in the accompanying Section B.

The Arkansas River is the major river in Pueblo County. The Pueblo
Conservancy District constructed flood levees along the Arkansas River
after the flood of 1921. The Bureau of Reclamation's Pueblo Dam and
Reservoir (Fryingpan— Arkansas Project) was completed in 1975. The levee
systems provide standard project flood protection to the Pueblo area west
and immediately east of the Fountain Creek confluence.
Other significant 100 year floodplain areas include the Fountain and
St. Charles Rivers, Salt Creek, the St. Charles Reservoirs, and the
Dry Creek and Goodnight Arroyos.
7. Reservoirs
There are two large bodies of water in the study area and one on the
perimeter. St. Charles Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3 are located in the
Southwest Quadrant on land owned by CF &I which provide water for the
factory's production process. Administered through a private club, the
area offers such recreation as fishing, hunting, and bird watching.
The Pueblo Reservoir is located west of the study area and is incorporated
into a large State park. This area provides many acres of habitat and
offers fishing, hunting, boating, camping, and other recreational
opportunities.
8. Wetlands
Wetlands are referred to as those areas that are inundated by surface
water or groundwater. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs,
and similar areas such as sloughs, potholes, wet meadows, sewer overflows,
mud flats, and natural ponds.
A 0.5 sq. mile residential and light industrial area, located immediately
south of Lake Minnequa, is underlain by an alluvial aquifer. This area is
waterlogged, as the water table is less than six ft. below the land
surface.
The principal cause of the shallow water table is the high water level of
Lake Minnequa. Seepage from St. Charles Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3 and
from the bedrock hill east of the Lake and the northeast direction of
groundwater flow also contribute to the problem.
The most severely affected area is just south of Lake Minnequa. Map 20
shows the locations of regions where the water table is less than six ft.,
less than 10 ft., less than 20 ft., and /or less than 30 ft. below land
surface. These areas lie primarily south of Lake Minnequa with extensions
in the north reaching into the West Park area.
In response to the alternatives suggested by the investigative report,
Waterlogging in an Alluvial Aquifer near Lake Minnequa, the City
implemented an "Acquisition Relocation" Program for the residents in the
waterlogged area "less than six ft. to the water table." The program
utilized Community Development Block Grant Funds. To date all but one
residence has been acquired and the occupants have been relocated.

9. Climate
The Pueblo region is located in the transition zone between the temperate
and hot, arid climatic regions. The climate is characterized by abundant
sunshine, low relative humidity, light to moderate winds, large daily
temperature variations, and. light precipitation. Average annual
precipitation is approximately 11.6 inches.
Temperatures in the summer reach 90 degrees or more, approximately one out
of every two days. Afternoon thunderstorms account for much of the summer
precipitation, and the probability of measurable precipitation is one day
out of four.
10. Flora and Fauna
Plant and animal associations are groups of species co— existing in a
complementary fashion. Groups of associations are called communities. A
biotic zone consists of an association of communities. These zones are
defined by soil, moisture, climate, and the biotic history of the area.
These conditions determine the nature and distribution of plant and animal
habitat.
The study area is contained within the "Plains" biotic zone. This zone
characteristically lies between 3,500 and 5,500 ft. in elevation and
experiences minimal precipitation. The area is considered semiarid. Most
of the vegetation can tolerate long periods of drought. The dominant
vegetation is prairie grass.
The plant association in the study area includes:
a. Grasslands of the Plains
Grasses include Alkali sacaton, Inland salt grass, Galleta, Blue grama,
and Western wheatgrass. Flowering saltbrush, Rabbitbrush, and Greasewood
are the predominate shrubs and are normally found on Swale and floodplain
portions of this site.
Blue grama is the dominant grass occurring with Sideoats grama, Little
bluestem, Needle and Thread, Indian rice grass, and Prickly —pear cactus on
gravelly soils with Sand bluestem, Prairie sandreed, Needle and Thread,
Indian rice grass, Sand dropseed, and Prairie three awn on sandy soils.
b. Woodlands of the River Bottoms
Woodlands of the River Bottoms include varying amounts of Cottonwoods,
Willows, Rabbitbrush, Forbes, Sages, Cattails, Wild rye, Alkali sacaton,
Inland salt grass, Muhly, and Sand dropseed.
Habitat is valued in terms of food sources, vegetative cover, water
availability, shelter, and breeding grounds. Different animal species
relate to different habitat.
— V -43 —
Disturbance to or extinction of any one habitat, plant, or animal species
can have an impact on another species. Preservation and protection of
habitat and species is imperative in maintaining the integrity of a native
plant and of animal populations.
c. Woodlands of the Foothills and Plains
Vegetation includes Pinon pine, One seed and Rocky Mountain junipers,
Mountain mahogany, Skunkbrush, Sumac, Gambel oak, Indian rice grass, Big
and Little blue stem, Blue grama, Sideoats grama, and Western wheatgrass.
Wildlife populations interacting with landforms, soils, moisture, climate,
plant associations, and other animals create wildlife habitat. The more
habitat available, the greater the diversity of species which can be
supported. A habitat is valued in terms of food sources, vegetative
cover, water availability, shelter, and breeding grounds. Different
animal species relate to different habitat.
According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the Arkansas River
floodplain is considered to be critical "Riparian habitat." Critical
habitat is that which offers rare or limited environmental conditions and
includes those areas which support rare and endangered plant or animal
species. Animal inhabitants of the area include coyotes, antelope, small
mammals, small birds, quail, larger raptors, crows, and a variety of
waterfowl. The Arkansas River is included in the wintering ground of
endangered species such as the American Bald Eagle, the Golden Eagle, and
the Night Heron. It is imperative that the river environment is preserved
and that endangered species are protected from further urban
enchroachment. Zoning for parks and recreational open space is encouraged
in the floodplain to help facilitate this preservation.
Disturbance to or extinction of any one habitat, plant, or animal species
can have an impact on other species. Preservation and protection of
hahitat and species is imperative in maintaining the integrity of native
plant and animal populations.
Water Qualit
The study area consists of several drainage subbasins (See Map 19 series),
all of which are tributary to the Arkansas River Basin. To ensure the
quality and acceptability of Colorado's waters for beneficial use, water
quality standards and classifications have been adopted by and for the
waters of the State, including the Arkansas River.
The mainstem segments of the Arkansas River within the study areas are
referred to as the Lower Arkansas River, Segment 1, and the Middle
Arkansas River, Segment 2, by the Section 208 Water Quality Plan.
Segment 1 is located from a point immediately above the confluence with
Fountain Creek to the Colorado /Kansas border and is classified as a
Class 2 Recreation and Warm Water Aquatic Life, Water Supply and
Agriculture stream segment. Using or traveling the Arkansas River within
City limits is not allowed.
— V -44 —
The 1977 Section 208 Stream Segment Analysis describes Segment 1 of the
Arkansas River as a warm Water slow flowing river highly affected by a
large number of point and nonpoint sources that affect the merging of
wastewater effluent and tributary wastes. The parameters and results in
which this stream segment was analyzed include:
PARAMETER
Dissolved Oxygen
Un— ionized Ammonia
Fecal Coliform
Suspended Soils
RESULT
Within Safe
Within Safe
Within Safe
Exceeds Recommended Limits for
Limits

Limits
Cold Water Aquatic Life
These conditions also support the use of this segment as a Primary Contact
Recreation -- Aquatic Life -- Surface Water Supply area.
The 1987 Section 208 Plan Update considers this segment to have
"medium— priority" impact. This is to say that "water quality data
indicate these stream segments on the Fountain Creek and Arkansas River
may be adversely impacted by nonpoint pollution sources, but no human
health hazard currently exists. Water quality standards for aquatic life
and agriculture are being exceeded.
Segment 2 is located between the outlet of the Pueblo Reservoir and a
point immediately above the confluence with the Wildhorse /Dry Creek Arroyo
and is classified as a Class I Recreation and Cold Water Aquatic Life, and
a Class II Agriculture and Domestic Water Supply stream segment. This
mainstem is immediately east of the Pueblo Reservoir. Due to the settling
of suspended particles in the slower moving waters of the reservoir, water
leaves the Dam outlet cooler and clearer than it entered.
The 1977 Section 208 Stream Segment Analysis describes this segment of the
Arkansas River as a swift flowing, near pristine river which is rich in
dissolved oxygen and low in temperature and toxic chemicals. The
parameters and results in which this stream segment was analyzed include:
PARAMETER
RESULT
Dissolved Oxygen Consistently High
Un— ionized Ammonia Within Safe Limits
Fecal Coliform Within Safe Limits
Suspended Solids Exceeds recommended limits for Cold Water Aquatic Life
These conditions also support the use of this segment as a Primary Contact
Recreation -- Aquatic Life -- Surface Water Supply area.
— V -45 —
The 1987 Section 208 Plan Update Nonpoint Source Pollution Assessment
considers this segment to have "low— priority" impact. This is to say that
"water quality data indicate no significant adverse impact on this stream
segment by nonpoint source pollution." The Plan Update did not provide
specific data. The 1977 Section 208 Stream Segment Analysis, however,
states that the stormwater drainage systems and individual sewage disposal
system leakages in the Goodnight (West Park) area result in the
degradation of water.quality.
The Lower Fountain Creek was monitored in 1985 for Storm Event water
quality. Sulfate, Chloride, and Nitrate (n) water quality constituents
were found to be higher in concentration, in most cases, in ambient water
than storm water.
Historically, groundwater quality in the Northeast and Southeast Quadrants
has not been a problem in this area and was not analyzed in the 1977 or
1987 208 Plans.
Groundwater in the entire Southwest Quadrant planning area is of poor
quality, with concentrations of dissolved solids ranging from average to
high. The groundwater is very hard. Calcium and sulfate are the
predominant dissolved chemical constituents. Testing of domestic wells in
the West Park area has shown high levels of compounds which can be a
health hazard.
Groundwater in the Northwest Quadrant planning area is also of poor
quality, with concentrations of dissolved solids ranging from average to
high. The groundwater is very hard. Calcium and sulfate are the
predominant dissolved chemical constituents.
12. Air Quality
Air quality in the study area poses no problem to human health and
welfare. The entire Pueblo region complies with all National Ambient Air
Quality Standards pursuant to the Clean Air Act (1963), as amended.
Recent clean air programs and the CF &I Steel Corporation production
cutbacks have resulted in vast improvements in Pueblo's air quality.
Air quality is determined by measuring specific particles suspended in the
atmosphere. Beginning in 1985, the local Health Department has monitored
Total Suspended Particulates (TSPs). The results over time have indicated
a steady increase in air quality. In October, 1987, a new system- -
Particulate Matter 10 Microns or less (PM- 10) - -was installed. Eventually,
all monitoring will be done by PM -10 as this system allows for a more
detailed analysis.
The 1988 PM -10 results indicate that the Pueblo region has a 14 percent
chance of noncompliance with Federal Ambient Air Quality Standards. This
is considered a low priority concern and only requires that the region
continue to monitor air quality on a regular basis. Those areas with a 20
percent or greater chance of noncompliance must have a State
Implementation Plan in place. The implementation plan outlines procedures
directed at decreasing the chance of noncompliance.
— V -46 —
Currently, there are no PM -10 monitoring stations located in the study
area. The closest stations are at the Pueblo Memorial Airport and AIP and
one atop the City— County Health Department Office in Downtown Pueblo.
It should be noted that new development may cause a short —term increase in
suspended particulates as a result of cut and fill, grading, and other
construction activities. Such activities may require the issuance of an
emissions permit from either the State or local Health Department.
Carbon monoxide, of concern to several Colorado cities, has not reached
severe levels in Pueblo. The City is thereby not required to monitor this
particular pollutant.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Areas in which environmental hazards exist may not be the optimum areas
for land use development projects. Those areas where steep or unstable
slopes, floodplains, erodible soils, or large arroyos exist are fragile
environmental zones and can place constraints on development.
Prior to any new development, an environmental analysis should indicate
areas of environmental sensitivity. Mitigating measures should then be
utilized in planning and construction.
The severity and location of various environmental hazards and of mineral
resource areas within Pueblo County were computer— mapped via a program
called IMGRID Analysis (Improved Grid). This program was developed by the
Department of Architecture of Harvard University's School of Design. This
composite of environmental hazards is identified in Map Series 21.
The following text describes the potential hazarads in the study area.
1. Floodolain Hazards
A floodplain is an area along the course of a river or stream that is
naturally subject to flooding. A floodplain is described by Colorado
statutes (24- 65.1- 103[7]) as an area adjacent to a stream, which is
subject to flooding as a result of the occurrence of an intermediate
regional flood and which area thus is so adverse to past, current, or
foreseeable construction or land use as to constitute a significant hazard
to public health and safety or to property. The 100 —year floodplains are
such adverse areas. The 100 —year floodplains in the study area include
the Fountain Creek, Arkansas River, Dry Creek, East Dry Creek, Salt Creek,
the Goodnight Arroyo, the St. Charles Reservoirs, and two unidentified
drainages within the Airport /Industrial Park boundaries (refer to
Map Series 19).

in order to discharge the base flood without
the water surface elevation more than one foot.
The Federal Insurance Administration has delineated areas of special flood
hazards applicable to the City of Pueblo. These are shown on the
Environmental Composite (Map 21 series).
It is the goal of Zoning and Development procedures to protect floodplains
in order to freely discharge a base flood without increasing the water
surface elevation more than one foot. Development in the floodplain is
restricted unless technical evaluation demonstrates that encroachments
shall not result in flood levels (City Ordinance Title XVII Section 9).
Construction on fringe areas should require special floodproofing measures
found in Title XVII of the Zoning Ordinances for the City of Pueblo.
2. Drywash Channels
A drywash channel refers to a small watershed with a very high percentage
of runoff after a torrential rainfall. These channels are not classified
as 100 —year floodplains, yet they may be hazardous if not properly
regarded in the planning process. Water channels change overtime as a
result of both .natural and man —made conditions. Land disturbances, such
as construction, could act as flow obstructions, possibly increasing flow
depths and velocity, and changing the channel's course.
Prior to development, a master drainage plan must be prepared which would
address natural flows, additional hydrologic flow generated by new
developments, and mitigating measures necessary to ensure adequate
drainage. Improvements might include holding ponds, diversion channels,
drainage pipes, gutters, and channel boxes. Hydrologically, the results
are similar but the cost and amount of land required for such measures
varies.
3. Wildfire Hazards
A wildfire is any fire that is burning out of control including brush
fires, forest fires, grass fires, and structure fires. A number of
factors must work together to create an area of wildfire hazard
potential. Climate, fuel loads, topography, and wind patterns all play a
determining role in identifying fire sensitive areas. Most of the study
area is classified as a Type "A," low wildfire hazard zone. Zones such as
these contain sparse fuel sources (grasses, shrubs, trees, etc.).
However, measures which are over and above standard fire prevention
development policies do not need to be implemented. High wildfire
hazardous areas have been identified by IMGRID on the west side of
Baculite Mesa (See Map 21.b.).

4. Geologic Hazards
Geologic hazards are geologic phenomenon which are so adverse to past,
current, or foreseeable construction or land use as to constitute a
significant hazard to public health and safety or to property. The term
includes but is not limited to unstable slopes, mud flows /debris fans,
expansive soils and rocks, ground subsidence, seismic effects, erosion,
radioactivity (no hazards defined by IMGRID), rockfalls, landslides, and
avalanches.
a. Unstable Slopes
An unstable slope is an area where gravity can cause loose dirt, gravel,
or any surface materials to move downhill. Natural and man -made slopes
occur from weathering, erosion, filling or cutting away existing slopes,
or altering natural drainages. River floodplains create a natural
unstable slope on channel banks.
Potentially unstable slopes have been identified on Baculite Mesa (See
Map 21.a.). These slopes can be very dangerous, as they are presently in
a delicate state of balance. A disturbance, natural or man -made, could
cause sliding or rockfall activity. Construction on or near unstable
slopes can be supported if properly engineered. Such areas, however, will
always be more susceptible to environmental catastrophes. Parks or open
space recreational uses are preferred on or adjacent to unstable slopes.
Although not identified by IMGRID, the slopes along the river floodplains
and drywash channels can also be dangerous.
b. Landslides
Where large masses of earth and rock slide bodily down steep slopes, the
movement is called a landslide. The rate of movement ranges from very
slow to very rapid. The amount of material in the slide can vary from a
few cubic yards to millions of cubic yards.
Landslides are caused by a change in an unstable slope. Changes can occur
naturally through watering and earthquakes, or man -made though changing
drainage patterns, creating ponds, and reservoirs. The only potential
landslide hazards in the study area are on the southern tip of Baculite
Mesa (See Map 21.a.).
c. Mud Flows /Debris Fans
A mud flow (also called earth flow or debris flow) is a rapid movement of
a mass of earthen mud. Mud flows occur chiefly in dry canyons or arroyos
in semiarid regions and result from cloudbursts or snowmelt. A debris fan
is a deposit of gravel, mud, silt, small rocks, and other substances
shaped like a triangle and formed where a watercourse enters a larger
valley. Debris fans are closely related to mud flows and are sometimes
associated with one another. Building on or in the paths of a mud flow or
- V -53 -
on a debris fan is extremely hazardous. Mud flows can be unpredictable,
and seemingly minor factors can trigger the flow. Moderate mud flow and
debris fan hazards are found chiefly in the proximity of a floodplain.
The "IMGRID Debris Flow, Mud Flow, and Debris Fan Hazards" Map was
generated by the extraction and compilation of soil, geology, intermittent
stream, and alluvium data bank components. Areas of concern are indicated
on Map 21 series.
d. Expansive Soils and Rocks
Expansive soils and rocks means soils and rocks which contain clay and
which expand to a significant degree upon wetting and shrink upon drying.
Clay is composed of flat, microscopic plates. Layers of water molecules
form between these plates. As more water is added, the water molecules
push the clay plates further and further apart. This occurs throughout
the clay deposit and causes an increase in the size of volume which in
turn creates swelling pressures. When the clay deposits dry out, the
reverse is true and the deposits will shrink in size.
Building can take place in areas containing swelling clay deposits.
Professional soil engineers and engineering geologists should become
involved before the design of a structure is complete. Foundation design,
water drainage, landscaping, and interior finishes are considerations for
all development projects. Swelling soils are common in the study area.
Much of the study area's soil ranges from low to high in its expansive
properties. Some areas have been identified as having very high expansive
properties (See Map 21 series).
e. Ground Subsidence
Ground subsidence refers to the downward displacement of surface
material. Ground subsidence can occur naturally or by man —made processes,
such as removal of groundwater; addition of water to weak soils;
dissolving of certain rock formations by exposure to groundwater flows;
and removal of materials by underground mining activities.
Much of the Northeast Quadrant and portions of the Northwest Quadrant have
potential subsidence hazards due to clay and alluvium soils and alluvium
geologic formations (See Map Series 21). Techniques for mitigating
problems caused by subsidence on structures do exist and should be
reviewed prior to structural design.
f. Seismic Effects
Seismic effects refer to the degree upon which an earthquake or an
underground nuclear detonation impacts the environment. An earthquake or
tremor in an area can increase the possibility of geologic hazard
occurrence. Landslides, rockfalls, unstable slopes, and flood potential
would be greatly affected. These elements were compiled into the number
— V -54 —
W
of potential seismic hazards present per cell, as identified by the IMGRID
program. The southern tip of Baculite Mesa has the most number of
potential seismic hazards present due to potentially unstable slopes,
rockfall hazards, and landslide hazards. There are also a few scattered
cells which contain only one seismic hazard. These hazardous areas should
be noted but should not be considered a severe constraint to development.
g. Erosion
Erosion is the end — result of a culmination of factors such as vegetative
and man —made cover types, gradient, the chemistry make —up of soil,
weathering, overgrazing, and other man — caused disturbances.
The erosion problem in the study area ranges from non — existing to severe,
or losing anywhere from 0 to 200 tons of soil per acre per year.
Developers can offset the effects of erosion in most cases through proper
preparation prior to construction and through landscape design upon
completion of construction. The areas around the Arkansas River, Dry
Creek, and the St. Charles Mesa floodplains are extremely erosive areas.
They must utilize the expertise of a soils professional in the design and
engineering of any structure in this area. Remedial devices such as check
dams, sedimentation ponds, terracing, and rapid planting of bare soil may
be required to minimize sedimentation in sensitive areas. Erosion
sensitive areas are located on Map 21 series. The City of Pueblo has
prepared a Storm Drainage Criteria Manual which includes the criteria for
a required erosion control plan during development.
h. Radioactivit
Radioactivity means a condition related to various types of radiation
emitted by natural radioactive minerals that occur in natural deposits of
rock, soil, and water. The IMGRID Analysis identified no radioactive
hazards in the Northwest Quadrant. However, since the completion of the
Analysis in 1977, public awareness of potential radioactivity in the
Pueblo region has increased, resulting in additional testing for
radioactive materials by property owners.
The City of Pueblo does not require testing for radioactivity during
development since the City is considered to be low risk. The burden of
such testing, if desired, lies with the property owner.
5. Mineral Resource Areas
Colorado House Bill 1529 (1973) established the policies which most of the
local mineral resource plans in the State of Colorado follow. The law
declares that the State's commercially extractable mineral deposits are
essential to the State's economy, and as such these deposits should be
extracted according to a rational plan. House Bill 1529 was followed by
— V -55 —
House Bill 1041 (1974) which served to reiterate the importance of the
State's mineral deposits by describing extractable deposits as "areas of
State and local interest."
Mineral deposits within Pueblo County have been identified by the Colorado
Geological and U. S. Geological Survey. Deposits of sand and gravel are
abundant near the Arkansas River and Baculite Mesa.
Prior to extraction of a natural resource, a thorough analysis must be
made of the impacted area. The following must be addressed in this
analysis:
a. Importance of diverting future developments to areas which will not
interfere with extraction of minerals.
b. The need to permit extraction or exploration of minerals, unless
extraction or exploration would cause significant danger to public
health and safety.
c. A comparison between the economic value of the minerals present
against the economic value.of the proposed development.
d. Procedures proposed for assuring that exploration and extraction of a
mineral shall be carried out in a manner which will cause the least
practical environmental disturbance.
Permits for extraction and processing of sand and gravel and exploration
of natural resources are issued by the County Planning Commission.
Active and inactive extraction pits, processing operations, and
exploration sites within each quadrant are located on Map Series 22, and

6. Landfills
A landfill and dead animal dumping area is located southeast of the
east —west runway at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. This area is on City
property and contained within Noise Zone 3. Development within this noise
zone is considered "non — compatible" by FAA Standards.
Aluminum draws are the only substance in the landfill. These draws are
from one of the manufacturing firms of the AIP. This area will remain
open indefinitely. It is operated by airport personnel and monitored by
the City— County Health Department.
— V -61 —
The City's abandoned North Side landfill is bound on the east by the
Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail line and Fountain Creek and is adjacent
to the I -25 /Eagleridge Boulevard Interchange. This 22 —acre site was
closed in 1924 and is owned by the City of Pueblo. Forty— Seventh Street
(Eagleridge Boulevard extended east of I -25) is located at the landfill's
west border and will eventually cross this site when extended eastward to
Jerry Murphy Road.
The City owned South Side Landfill is located on the western edge of the
study area and is privately operated. The landfill presently has enough
area to serve the City for an additional 30 years (approximately). There
are currently no plans to reclaim the area for development.

M VI. INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS
EXISTING AND PROPOSED ROADWAY AND UTILITY SYSTEMS
PREFACE
The existing infrastructure of an area and its ability to expand is
crucial in attracting and supporting new growth. Annexation and the
subsequent development of new areas, whether residential, commercial, or
industrial, will impact the existing infrastructure and will likewise
result in the extension of municipal services.
This section will describe the existing transportation routes, water and
wastewater systems, electric and gas services, telephone services, and
cable television systems. An analysis will address the ability of these
services to expand and support new development.
A. TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
Transportation planning in the City of Pueblo is presently reflected by
the The Year 2010 Transportation Plan The Year 2010 Transportation Plan
utilizes computer modeling (TRANPLAN) and actual vehicle counts to
determine the degree of efficiency of the current transportation network.
Any deficiencies are analyzed and the effect of alternate roadways are
examined. (Proposed transportation corridors in the Year 2010
Transportation Plan are illustrated on Map Series 7).
The Pueblo County Regional Transportation Plan (Year 2015 Multi —Modal
Transportation Plan) serves as an overall county —wide comprehensive look
at the existing transportation system and identification of the Multi —
Modal Transportation needs throughout the Region in the next 20 years.
The plan was adopted in 1994 and utilizes 1990 Census data. The Urban
Area element of the plan which focuses on the Pueblo Urban Area is
presently being finalized and will supercede the conclusions of the Year
2010 Transportation Plan.
The Pueblo County Regional Transportation Plan provides statistics on
population, dwelling units, and employment projections for Pueblo County's
139 traffic zones. Table VI lists the Evaluation's projections by
quadrant, and Map Series 23 illustrate corresponding traffic zones.
In order that future subdivision proposals provide adequate rights —of —way
and future roadways align into a planned framework, the City of Pueblo
Three —Mile Annexation Plan, Section IV of this report, proposes future
primary roadway corridors. These corridors are currently being proposed,
regardless of immediate need, so that the City's transportation system
remains cohesive.
To facilitate the analysis, the following discussion on the Transportation
Network is addressed by each quadrant.
— VI -1 —
A -1. Northeast Quadrant
The major transportation routes serving the Northeast Quadrant are:
1. Interstate 25, a freeway which serves as the primary north /south
roadway in Pueblo and the State;
2. U. S. Highway 50 East, an expressway which serves as the primary
east /west roadway in Pueblo and the State; and
3. SH 47 which serves as a loop expressway which extends eastward from
the intersections of I -25 and U. S. Highway 50 West to serve the
University of Southern Colorado (USC) and southward to intersect with
U. S. Highway 50 East near the City limit boundary.
Other significant roadways serving the Northeast Quadrant are:
1. Jerry Murphy Road, a minor arterial which serves the western Belmont
area and the University Park Subdivision. It ties in with
Overton Road which serves rural residential and agricultural areas
north along Fountain Creek;
2. Bonforte Boulevard, a minor arterial which provides the major
north /south access to USC through the Belmont Subdivision;
3. Troy Avenue, a north /south minor arterial which serves the eastern
area of Belmont and is also the main eastern access to USC; and
4. Constitution Road, ' a minor arterial which serves southern Belmont and
is proposed as. an alternative western access to the AIP. The access
alternatives to the AIP which were examined in the Pueblo Airpark
Access Alternatives Study are shown on Map 6.
Most development in this quadrant is expected to occur at moderate rates.
Some residential development is expected to occur as "infill" development
in certain "Belmont" neighborhoods (Zone 102) and the University Park
neighborhood (Zone 137). However, recent proposals since the Analysis
District report was formulated will be cause to closely monitor certain
areas for potential transportation impacts. These include a new municipal
golf course and related residential /commercial development near the
University of Southern Colorado (Zone 103), the annexation of nearly an
entire section of land east of USC (Section 16 in Zone 136), and potential
development east of Troy Avenue is Zone 101. Additionally, Zone 138 can
expect commercial development near, the intersections of SH 47 and
Constitution /William White Boulevard (extended) when this transportation
link occurs. The Transportation Network depicted in the Year 2010
Transportation Plan report appears adequate to support these potential
growth areas.

A -2. Southeast Quadrant
The major transportation routes serving the Southeast Quadrant are:
1. U. S. Highway 50 —B, an expressway and national east /west route which
serves as the primary entrance to the Pueblo Memorial Airport.
2. U. S. Highway 50 —C (Santa Fe Drive), a principal arterial and
east /west access to the St. Charles Mesa community.
3. South Road, an east /west minor arterial which serves the southern
portion of the St. Charles Mesa.
4. Joplin Avenue (SH 227), a north /south minor arterial.
5. Baxter Road (SH 233), a north /south principal arterial which serves
the Baxter community and provides a link between U. S. Highway 50 —B
and U. S. Highway 50 —C. _
6. Lane 36 (SH 231), a north /south minor arterial.
The segment of the Arkansas River, contained within the study area, is
bridged by Santa Fe Avenue, Joplin Avenue (SH 227), Baxter Road (SH 233),
and Lane 36 (SH 231). The St. Charles River is bridged at U. S. Highway
50 —C, South Road, and Lane 27.
The Southeast Quadrant is comprised of ten zones, with the majority of the
proposed urban extension area contained within two zones (87 and 133).
The Evaluation predicts slow growth for all ten zones through the Year
2010.
The Three —Mile Annexation Plan, Section IV of this report, proposes two
roadway extensions. The first proposal is the extension of Lane 27 south
from U. S. Highway 50 —B, bridging the Arkansas River and joining South
Lane 27. The second proposal is the southern extension of Paul Harvey
Boulevard. These corridors are currently being proposed, regardless of
immediate need, so that the City's transportation system remains
cohesive. The Transportation Network depicted in the Year 2010
Transportation Plan report appears adequate to support these potential
growth areas.
A -3. Southwest Quadrant
The major transportation routes serving the Southwest Quadrant are:
1. Interstate 25, a freeway which serves as the primary north /south
roadway in Pueblo and along the Front Range;
2. Pueblo Boulevard which serves as a loop "expressway" and principal
arterial connecting U. S. Highway 50 —C and Interstate 25 South;

CITY OF PUEBLO ANNEXATION MASTER PLAN 23b
3. SH 78, an east /west highway leaves the City as an expressway and
continues to Beulah as a principal arterial;
4. SH 96 traverses the City in an east /west direction as Fourth Street,
Lincoln Street, and Thatcher Avenue. It is a principal arterial.
5. Within the City limits, Prairie Avenue (running north /south) and
Northern Avenue (running east /west) are both principal arterials; and
6. Hollywood Drive, Jones Avenue, and St. Clair Avenue are minor
arterials; Red Creek Springs Road is a "collector" arterial.
Residents of the Southwest Quadrant and public officials have expressed
concern over several primary access roads. They are:
a. Encino Drive, classified as a collector which actually functions as a
minor arterial, serves as the only ingress /egress into the E1 Camino
Subdivision. This single access point has been a concern to
subdivision residents and emergency service operators. In addition,
there are existing plans to expand the subdivision to the south
(E1 Camino Parks Subdivision), thereby further impacting the roadway.
b. Bridle Trail, currently classified as a collector, will eventually
bridge the Arkansas Valley Conduit and serve the E1 Camino and
El Camino Parks Subdivisions. No specific date for the extension has
been identified by the developer. Although this extension will
provide a much needed second entrance into E1 Camino, it will only
minimally reduce traffic on Encino Drive due to the layout of the
subdivision.
c. McCarthy Boulevard, a County road classified as a collector, serves as
the only ingress /egress into the Stonemoor Hills Subdivision.
Additional development is being proposed in the area which will also
utilize McCarthy Boulevard for its ingress /egress. County officials
have planned a southern extension of McCarthy Boulevard to
Red Creek Springs Road, thereby providing a second entrance into the
area.
The Southwest Quadrant is comprised of nine traffic zones. Table VI.c.
lists the Evaluation's projections and Map 23.c. illustrates corresponding
traffic zones.
Those traffic zones within City limits are expected to grow at moderate
rates. The highest predicted rates of growth will be in the newer
residential areas of Regency Park and E1 Camino (Zones 115 and 117).
Employment is expected to increase along Pueblo Boulevard in Zone 119.
Zone 116 is predicted to remain primarily undeveloped until those areas
east of it achieve build —out. Results from the TRANPLAN evaluation
indicate that the unincorporated area of the Southwest Quadrant will not
require intensive transportation improvements by the Year 2010.

A -4. Northwest Quadrant
The major transportation routes serving the Northwest Quadrant are:
1. Interstate 25, a freeway which serves as the primary north /south
roadway in Pueblo and along the Front Range;
2. U. S. Highway 50 West, an expressway which serves as the primary
east /west roadway in Pueblo and the State; and
3. Pueblo Boulevard which serves as a loop "expressway" and principal
arterial which intersects U. S. Highway 50 —A midway through the study
area.
The Northwest Quadrant contains 11 zones. Table VI.d. lists the
Evaluation's projections, and Map 23.d. illustrates corresponding traffic
zones.
Those traffic zones within City limits are expected to grow at moderate
rates. The highest predicted rates of growth will be in the newer
residential areas of Eagleridge and Pueblo West (Zones 105, 107, and
110). Employment is expected to increase along U. S. Highway 50 West in
Zone 106. Zone 35 is predicted to remain primarily undeveloped until
those areas around it achieve build —out. Results from the TRANPLAN
evaluation indicate that the unincorporated area of the Northwest Quadrant
will not require intensive transportation improvements by the Year 2010.
In order that future subdivision proposals provide adequate right —of —way
and future roadways align into a planned framework, the Northwest Quadrant
Three —Mile Annexation Plan, Section IV of this report, proposes future
primary roadway corridors. These corridors are currently being proposed,
regardless of immediate need, so that the City's transportation system
remains cohesive.
B. WATER SERVICE
Pueblo County's water supply flows from mountain snowmelt. The mountain
water travels via streams, creeks, groundwater flows, and man —made water
systems to the major Eastern Colorado drainage basin of the
Arkansas River.

Several suppliers provide water in the study area. The Pueblo Board of
Water Works is the primary purveyor of water for the City of Pueblo. In
areas of the Southeast Quadrant, water is supplied by the St. Charles Mesa
Water District and the O'Neal Water Supply. The Board does not have a
franchise agreement with the City; therefore, upon annexation, private
water suppliers may continue service to their customers. Officials at the
Board have stated that the water supply companies in the St. Charles Mesa
adequately serve their customers with quality water. The Board does not
consider it probable that Board water will be requested in this area. The
Board, however, does provide service to several parcels in the proposed
urban extension area and can adequately serve .a build —out population
therein.

The Pueblo Board of Water Works owns parts of the Arkansas River flow
referred to as "direct flow water rights." By State law, this water must
be used at the time of diversion and may not be stored in its raw state.
The Board also owns rights to water originating on the Western Slope.
This water may be stored. The Board has water rights and storage capacity
to support a population of 350,000 persons.
Water diverted from the Arkansas River enters the Whitlock Treatment
Plant. This plant became operational in 1977. The treatment process
employed by the Board of Water Works includes flocculation, sedimentation,
and a filtration process. Testing on a continual basis ensures Pueblo of
high quality water through rigid quality control methods. The plant has
the capability of serving a population of 158,000. There is no
opportunity for further expansion at the Whitlock Plant. The Board of
Water Works does own a plant site downstream from the Pueblo Dam. If
facility expansion was necessary, a "peaking plant" could be constructed
on this site. Such a facility would supplement the existing plant during
peak summer months and would likely be shut down during winter months.
B -1. Northeast Quadrant
Treated water from the Whitlock Treatment Plant is transferred to the
distribution system. This system is divided into pressure zones in order
to maintain water pressures within practical limits as illustrated in (See
Map 24.a.). The J. 0. Jones, Watts, and Belmont pumping stations serve
Northeast Pueblo and the Airport. The J. 0. Jones and Watts storage tanks
serve the portion of the City in the 1000 Zone and all of the Airport
located partially in the 1000 and 500 Zones. The tanks at Belmont serve
the 3000 Zone, and the 5000 Zone and 7000 Zone (the 5000 and 7000 Zones
are interconnected) are served by the Belmont stand pipe and by variable

as follows: Zone 500 at the east end of the Airport serves elevations
4500 -4650; Zone 1000 in the City and the Central and west end of the
Airport serves elevations 4650 - 4750; Zone 3000 serves elevations
4750 -4900; Zone 5000 serves elevations 4870 -5000; and Zone 7000 which is
currently interconnected with Zone 5000 will be the area absorbed into
Zone 5000 when another tank is constructed in Belmont (See Map 24.a.).
B -2. Southeast Quadrant
The Southeast proposed urban extension area lies within the 1000 Zone
(See Map 24.b.). This represents ground elevation (City of Pueblo datum)
of 4,650 to 4,750 ft. above sea level. The 1000 Zone receives its water
from the Watts Reservoir and pumping station north of 32nd Street and the
J. 0. Jones tanks and pumping system on Widener Drive. Currently,
distribution in the proposed urban extension area consists of two water
mains (a 20 -inch and a 16 -inch line) which lie in the U. S. Highway 50 -B
corridor. These lines are cross -tied for reliability and serve the Pueblo
Memorial Airport /AIP, and several properties south of U. S. Highway 50 -B.
A small section of the proposed urban extension area in the Southeast
Quadrant is supplied by O'Neal Water Supply Service (See Map 24.b.). This
company serves approximately 400 people in a one -mile radius. Raw water
is obtained from a well and runs through a chlorination treatment
process. The water quality is in compliance with Colorado Primary
Drinking Water Standards. Some residents continue to utilize private
wells. The groundwater in the St. Charles Mesa area has high nitrate
levels and is not considered a guaranteed safe water source without proper
treatment.
B -3. Southwest Quadrant
The McCabe and LaVista pumping stations serve South and Southwest Pueblo.
Storage tanks are located at Hellbeck, LaVista, and Westmoor. The
Hellbeck and LaVista storage tanks serve the Southwest portion of the City
in the 2000 Zone. The tanks at Westmoor serve the 6000 Zone and by
utilizing pressure reducing valves are able to serve the 4000 Zone. The
pressure zones are defined by elevation as follows: Zone 2000 -- serves
elevations 4750 -4850; Zone 4000 -- serves elevations 4850 -4950; Zone
6000 -- serves elevations 4950 -5050; Zone 8000 -- serves elevations 5050 -5200
(See Map 24.c.).
In order to service those areas in the 8000 Zone, including a part of the
proposed El Camino Parks Subdivision, major improvements will have to be
made. A developer may be required to install, at his expense, a pumping
station at the Westmoor storage tanks and an additional storage tank at
approximately the 5,300 ft. elevation level.

City of Pueblo Department of Planning & Development MAP:
CITY OF PUEBLO ANNEXATION MASTER PLAN 24C
- VI -20 -
Development in the 10000 Zone necessitate installation of additional
equipment. The Board of Water Works has no plans at this time to pursue
such improvements. It is proposed that the La Mesa Encantada Subdivision,
atop the San Carlos Mesa, will be serviced by a private water main from
the Westmoor storage area. Each residence in this subdivision will be
required by the developer to install individual storage tanks and pumps.
The Board of Water Works serves all areas within City limits and extends
extraterritorial water to Stonemoor Hills and a portion of West Park. It
is doubtful that all of West Park will request Board water as a result of
large up —front costs of water main extensions in some areas. As long as
individuals feel that their water is palatable, there is no incentive to
seek a costly extension.
There are areas within the Southwest Quadrant in which water from the
Board of Water Works is not available. Additionally, some residents that
could obtain Board of Water Works water choose not to. In both these
instances residents normally utilize private wells. The groundwater
within portions of the Southwest Quadrant is known to be of poor quality
and is not considered a guaranteed safe water source without proper
treatment. A specific neighborhood of concern is the West Park area.
Approximately one third of the West Park area residents use well water.
The private wells are typically shallow and the groundwater is of such
quality as to constitute a potential health hazard due to contamination
from septic systems and agricultural land uses (e.g., livestock, large
gardens).
In 1974, 1976, and 1983, the Pueblo City— County Health Department and the
Pueblo Regional Planning Commission conducted groundwater quality
assessments. The studies indicated high levels of Total Dissolved Solids,
Nitrate, Sulfate, and Total Coliform.
An informational report, Groundwater Quality West Park Neighborhood,
Pueblo, Colorado May, 1987, was prepared by the County of Pueblo,
Department of Planning and Development. The report was funded through the
Pueblo Area Council of Governments Section 205(j) Program. The report was
distributed in June and July, 1987, to the approximately 125 households in
the West Park neighborhood who are using private individual wells as their
source of potable water. The purpose of the report was to:
— Inform residents and property owners of the quality of
groundwater in the neighborhood;
— Inform residents and property owners of potential health
effects associated with drinking the groundwater; and
— Inform the residents and property owners of drinking water
alternatives which may be available to them.
— VI -21 —
The Pueblo City— County Health Department provided an analysis of well
water to the first 24 responding households at no cost. Seventeen
analyses were provided in July, 1987, and two in August, 1987. The well
water was analyzed for the Total Coliform, Total Solids, Nitrate, Sulfate,
and Phosphorous.
The results of those 19 analyses conducted in July and August, 1987, by
the health department are reported in Table VII in comparison to the
testing done in 1974, 1976, and 1983. Seven of the 19 wells sampled
showed concentrations of Nitrate exceeding the standard of 45 mg 11 NO3,
with the highest level being 103 mg /1.
The quality of groundwater from many wells in the West Park neighborhood
is extremely poor and potentially fatal to small infants. Nitrate is the
pollutant of most immediate concern because of its potentially fatal
impact on the fetus and infants under two years of age. Methemoglobin,
sometimes called "blue baby disease," can be caused by Nitrate levels
which are significantly below the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) standard of 45 mg /l. In fact, local health officials recommend
that water exceeding 4.5 mg 11, ten times less than the EPA standard, not
be used as drinking water for infants, nor mixed with infants' powdered,
concentrated food formula. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should
avoid drinking water that exceeds the Nitrate standard.
The quality of groundwater also appears to be deteriorating (See 1983
versus 1987 results). Water seepage from the Bessemer Irrigation Ditch
and seepage and irrigation water from the West Pueblo Ditch may have a
"flushing" action on the neighborhood's groundwater, causing improved
quality when the ditches are running (April — October) and lower quality
when they're dry. If this is true, then the quality of the groundwater is
even lower during November through March than the July, 1987, analysis
indicates.
The County of Pueblo has been researching the possible extension of the
Board of Water Works service to the remaining homes in West Park. In
review of the proposal, the Board has estimated the cost for main
installation including asphalt and concrete replacement would be $391,566
(1988 Board estimates 93 homes do not have water service).
The Boggs Creek Water District is proposing to provide water service to a
possible 150 to 200 future home sites along SH 78 in the southwest corner
of the study area. This "District" has an option to purchase water from
the CF &I and would then transport the water from a CF &I creek to the
service area. The formation of this water district is in the planning
stage of development and has obtained the required 1041 Permit from the
Board of County Commissioners but has not finalized the financing of the
District.

The quality of drinking water in individual household wells is NOT
regulated by any quality standards. The decision to drink or not
drink the water is left up to the residents of the house. The
Colorado Board of Health's drinking water standards do apply to
"public water systems," such as the Board of Water Works of Pueblo
and St. Charles Mesa Water District. These standards are presented
in this report for information and comparison purposes. The drinking

Health's drinking water standards or the Environmental Protection
Agency's recommended standards, except for Fecal Coliform which has
no standard because it is included within Total Coliform.
Sixteen wells were sampled in 1974 and 17 (as of 8/19/87) in 1987.
One well in 1974 and one in 1987 (as of 8/19/87) had Total Coliform

— VI -23 —
B -4. Northwest Quadrant
The Gardner, J. 0. Jones, J. 0. Jones Booster, Watts, and Belmont pumping
stations serve North and Northwest Pueblo. Storage tanks are located at
J. 0. Jones, Watts, and Belmont. The J. 0. Jones and Watts storage tanks
serve the portion of the City in the 1000 Zone. The tanks at Belmont
serve the 3000 Zone, and the 5000 Zone is served by the Belmont stand pipe
and by variable speed pumps at J. 0. Jones. The pressure zones are
defined by elevation as follows: Zone 1000 -- serves elevations 4650 -4750;
Zone 3000 -- serves elevations 4750 -4900; and Zone 5000 -- serves elevations
4870 -5000 (See Map 24.d.).
In order to service those areas above the 5000 Zone, major improvements
will have to be made. If development occurs north of the Arkansas River
and west of Pueblo Boulevard or in and around the Wildhorse area, major
transmission mains (up to 24— inches) could be required. In addition, a
major area of concern exists north of the area called Outlook
Subdivision. Due to a continual increase in elevation, additional storage
tanks and pump stations would be needed. Again, major transmission mains
could be required. These improvements would necessitate major
expenditures by the developer and /or the Board of Water Works.
There are areas within the Northwest Quadrant in which water from the
Board of Water Works is not currently available. Additionally, some
residents that could obtain Board of Water Works water choose not to. In
both these instances residents normally utilize private wells. The
groundwater within portions of the Northwest Quadrant is known to'be of
poor quality and is not considered a guaranteed safe water source without
proper treatment. Most properties within the boundary of the Pueblo West
Metropolitan District are served water through their public water system.
Pueblo West currently provides a limited extraterritorial water service;
however, they do not anticipate expanding extraterritorial water service
in the future.
The Board of Water Works has developed rules and regulations for water
service outside Corporate limits. Two service areas are identified by
Board policies: Service Area "A" and Service Area "B" (See Map
Series 25).
Extraterritorial water applicants, whether in Permit Area A or Area B,
must agree to annex to the City when legally eligible. They must agree
that such service is to be contingent upon maintaining sufficient service
to the City's residents.

The unit cost structure program allows all water applicants including
contractors and developers to install water mains at equitable costs under
Board engineering and inspection standards. The Board will credit
accounts and projects completed within one year. More information regard-
ing the unit cost program may be obtained from the Board of Water Works.
If an applicant requests that the Board install a main extension inside
Permit Area A, the applicant will be charged the unit cost per foot of
main extension, regardless of size. The cost of asphalt pavement or
concrete replacement shall be paid by the developer /customer.
It should be noted that the workload of the Board does not allow for early
scheduling of water main installation. There is a one -year completion
deadline and no extension of time will be granted. Furthermore, the
established costs per linear feet do not refer to the applicant's actual
cost to install the water main. In certain areas, such actual costs may
exceed the outlined costs. Any additional costs are the responsibility of
the applicant.
In the semiarid Southwest, water is viewed as a limited resource.
Individual wells are coming under closer scrutiny by the State's
regulatory authorities as to their affect on surface water rights.
Subsurface waters in the State are considered to be tributary to surface
water rights, unless non - tributary status can be established through the
provisions of Senate Bill 213 (1973). If in the application process a
proposed new well is found to be tributary, water augmentation may be
required. In addition to water augmentation legislation, the importance
of community water systems is further substantiated by the considerable
cost of tapping a non — tributary aquifer to avoid water augmentation. In
Pueblo County, non — tributary aquifers are generally in excess of 800 ft.
below surface. Neither tributary nor non — tributary wells are assured to
produce potable water. Based on these conditions, it can be assumed that
most of the future growth in the Pueblo region will be dependent upon
community water supply systems.
C. WASTEWATER
The City of Pueblo Department of Public Works is responsible for the
sanitary sewerage and wastewater treatment operations for the City. In
1984, construction began on a new 19 million gallon per day (MGD)
high —rate trickling filter activated sludge wastewater treatment plant.
This treatment plant, located off of Joplin Avenue (SH 227), is capable of
serving a community of up to 147,900 persons. It began full operation
during the summer of 1989.
Map Series 25 illustrate the City of Pueblo's wastewater service
boundary. This boundary, which delineates those areas serviceable through
the City's gravity flow system, generally follows a ridge contour.
Although the areas shown are technically serviceable, sewer lines have not
been extended throughout these areas. Capacity limitations within the
existing sanitary sewer system may preclude development within the entire
- VI -26 -
will FIF JFNWM�
service area until such time as the deficiencies are corrected.
Development inside this service area simply requires trunk line extension
to the development. Outside this area, the cost of line extensions and
any necessary lift stations would be the developer's. This cost is
dependent on the distance and topography separating the development from
existing trunk lines within the service boundary.
Prior to March, 1988, extraterritorial sewer service was provided to
applicants with the stipulation that the owner or developer agree, in
writing, to consent to annexing to the City of Pueblo when the land became
eligible, and that the owner understand that such service could be
terminated by the City Manager in order to maintain adequate service to
the City of Pueblo.
In March of 1988, Ordinance No. 5466 was adopted. This amendment to
Section II of Chapter IV, Title XVI of the 1971 Code of Ordinances
relating to Extraterritorial Sewer Services, reads:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the
contrary, no land located outside the City of Pueblo or outside
the Pueblo Memorial Airport is eligible to receive
extraterritorial sewer service, and no application for such
service may be filed with or accepted by the City. This
subsection (d) is repealed, effective July 1, 1989. Prior to
said repeal, the City Council shall review this chapter.
When this ordinance was adopted, it was anticipated that if the new
treatment plant was in full operation prior to July 1, 1989, this
amendment would be repealed; however, for various reasons, the ordinance
was extended to July 1, 1990, and subsequently extended to July 1, 1991.
Ordinance No. 5690, which was adopted in June, 1991, deletes any reference
to an expiration date. Currently, there are no areas in the
unincorporated area of the Northeast, Southeast, or Northwest Quadrants
served by City's extraterritorial wastewater services.
Impacts by development on the City sewerage and wastewater treatment
system will depend on the amount and type of development. A treatment
plant is designed to adequately process wastewater during peak hours
(morning and early evening hours). Residential development has the most
impact on the system, with high— density units being the roost severe.
Typically, comriercial and industrial uses are not in full operation at
peak hours.
Prior to annexation to the City of Pueblo, a sanitary sewer report will be
coi:pleted outlining the proposed develop,ient and its probable impact on
the stormwater drainage and wastewater system. (This report is detailed
in Section II, Annexation Requirements.) As development in and around the
City continues, it will be inevitable that the existing line and
interceptor systems will be in need of expansion. This is accomplished by
laying line parallel to existing trunk lines or by replacing sections of
the old system with new and larger lines.
— VI -27 —
' 1jill 1,11R' II
Residents of the unincorporated areas of the County which are not.served
by a municipal wastewater treatment system typically rely on septic tanks.
Septic tank pumpers and haulers which pump out and dispose of septic
system and other sewage wastes must abide by City— County Health Department
requirements. They must also meet the receiving wastewater treatment
plant's applicable conditions or disposal regulations.
Pursuant to the Individual Sewage Disposal Systems Act, the Pueblo
City— County Health Department is responsible for licensing septic tank
pumpers and haulers. The license governs tank capacity, safety, and
disposal. It is issued annually but complaints on safety and dumping can
result in the revocation of a license.
Stormwater disposal systems must also be financed by the developer.
Stormwater disposal is provided by a system of drains and lines which are
separate from the wastewater system. Most City Stormwater lines
ultimately drain into the Arkansas River.
C -1. Northeast Quadrant
The airport's wastewater treatment facility was constructed in 1942 by the
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a trickling filter was added in 1943.
Prior to 1977, the performance of the trickling filter did not
consistently meet NPDES permit requirements. In 1977, the City of Pueblo
upgraded the airport facility by replacing the trickling filter with a
rotating biological disc and by installing chlorination basin baffles.
The plant was expanded in late 1986 to a new hydraulic flow of 300,000 gpd
(average flow), 640,000 gpd peak flow. The expansion included the instal—
lation of a second Rotating Biological Contractor (RBC) (100,000 sq. ft.)
and the conversion of an unused intermediate clarifier into a chlorine
contact chamber.
Since the 1986 update, three sewage lift stations were installed in the
airport service area. The first lift station, named Sperry, is located
near the entrance of the AIP and south of Unysis. It is a duplex system
with each pump rated at 800 gpm and serves the western portion of the
AIP. The second lift station, named Target, currently serves the Target
Distribution Center. In the future, this lift station will serve the area
to the northeast of Target. The Target lift station has a duplex system
with each pump rated at 251 gpm. A third lift station is located between
the County Shops area and the AIP wastewater treatment facility. It was
constructed to accorimodate a portion of the central area of the AIP that
otherwise would not be served by a gravity sewer. It has a duplex system
with each pump rated at 302 gpm. It will handle the re,naining capacity of
the existing treatment facility.

CITY OF PUEBLO ANNEXATION MASTER PLAN 25a.
I111NII®LII11IIIu. 1 1ui r l
In 1987, Pueblo City Council authorized an engineering study of the
airport's wastewater treatment needs. In March of 1988, CH2M Hill
consultants released the Pueblo Airport Industrial Park Wastewater
Treatment Plant Preliminary Engineering Study. This report addressed the
fact that if the remaining 500 acres of available industrial land at the
industrial park is developed, existing wastewater facilities would be
unable to process the resulting flow and loading.
The engineers began their study by establishing five "flow and loading"
projections based on various development scenarios. This approach was
necessary since current zoning regulations in the study area allow for
several types of industry, each with differing flows and high strength
wastes. In cooperation with City representatives, five management
alternatives to the capacity problem were developed.
All of these alternatives involved the abandonment of the existing airport
treatment facility. The CH2M Hill engineering study, based on selection
criteria, nonmonetary issues, and costs recommended pumping all wastewater
back to the City's plant.
New sanitary sewer pipeline has been installed utilizing airport sales tax
funds. The airport wastewater treatment plant has been shut down and will
be dismantled.
Two areas in the Northeast Quadrant study area which are not serviced by a
wastewater treatment facility are the area north of the existing service
areas including the southern tip of Baculite Mesa and an area between the
AIP and the east boundary of the City. Wastewater service to these areas
may be costly. At this time, the Engineering staff of the City's Public
Works Department has not yet determined the construction needs of the
areas in question. .
C -2. Southeast Quadrant
The City's "ultimate" wastewater service line as defined by the 1971
Sellards and Grigg Report is depicted on Map 25.b. This boundary line
indicates an area adjacent to the City which may be served by the existing
treatment system and gravity —flow basins. Wastewater service outside this
area may be costly. At this time, the engineering staff of the City's
Public Works Department has not yet determined the construction needs of
the Southeast Quadrant.
Three sanitation districts provide service to the Southeast Quadrant
(See Map 25.b.).
The Blende Sanitation District serves approximately 574 persons (1987).
Effluent from the area is transported to the City wastewater facility.
The City, therefore, must approve all extension of service and has the
right to withdraw service should the plant's capacity be needed to serve
the City's residents.
The Salt Creek Water and Sanitation District has a user population of
650. The District discharges into the Blende sanitation system.
— VI -30 —
wJ ���i�lli����j��'� 1 t� I� -_ _-__
Also discharging into the Blende system is the St. Charles Sanitation
District. This District's user population numbers 372.
Meadowbrook Mobile Home Park provides its own wastewater treatment with an
activated sludge package plant. This plant produces liquid sludge which
Is pumped once a month. Effluent is discharged for treatment at the City
of Pueblo's wastewater treatment plant.
CF &I Steel Corporation produces wastewater and provides its own treatment
through clarification, settling, filtering biological oxidation, and
aeration. Final treatment occurs in two treatment lagoons. These lagoons
discharge into the Arkansas River.
The exact number of septic tanks in the area is not known, although it is
believed to be well over 1,000. The 1984 208 Water Quality Program Update
states that in many areas parcels are too small and soils inappropriate to
support individual septic tanks and leaching systems in compliance with
the Colorado Department of Health and the Pueblo City—County-Health
Department's regulations. The Update also states that faulty septic
systems are believed to be a cause of groundwater contamination.
C -3. Southwest Quadrant
There are no wastewater service providers other than the City in the
Southwest Quadrant. As noted earlier, there are no areas outside of the
City limits boundaries served by extraterritorial wastewater service
(See Map 25.c.).
On —site sewage disposal systems are utilized in the unincorporated area of
the study area. Such facilities include septic tanks and package sewer
treatment plants, with septic tanks being far more common. Package plants
are sold as a complete unit in a variety of types, some serving small
communities and others a single household.
C -4. Northwest Quadrant
Map 25.d. illustrates the City of Pueblo's wastewater service boundary in
the Northwest Quadrant. This boundary delineates those areas serviceable
through the City's gravity flow system and generally follows a ridge
contour. With the exception of some property within and served by the
Pueblo West Metropolitan District, on —site sewage disposal systems are
utilized in the unincorporated areas of the Northwest Quadrant.

D. ELECTRIC POWER
The study area is provided electrical power primarily by the WestPlains
Energy Corporation (formerly Centel Corporation). The company has a
franchise agreement with the City of Pueblo to be the sole provider of
electricity within municipal boundaries. The San Isabel Electric
Association provides power to the southern portion of the Southeast
Quadrant. Upon annexation, any area within the San Isabel Electric
service area will be transferred to WestPlains' service area.
WestPlains operates an electric —power generating station at
105 S. Victoria. Initially, the plant burned coal to generate electric
power. The plant currently burns natural gas as its primary fuel and
utilizes oil for peaking generation and as a backup in the event of
natural gas curtailments. The plant complies with all Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Generation facilities at the plant
consist of two units with a capacity of 8,000 kilowatts each; one unit
with 19,000 kilowatt capacity; and five diesel generators, each with a
capacity of 2,000 kilowatts. WestPlains has two power plants outside the
City of Pueblo, one at Canon City and another at Rocky Ford. Together,
the three power plants have a total capacity of 106,000 kilowatts.
WestPlains purchases approximately 65 percent of its power requirements
from Public Service Company of Colorado under a renewable 20 —year
contract. WestPlains is a member of the Colorado Power Pool which
includes Public Service Company, Colorado Springs, and Lamar. The power
pool provides backup power in the event WestPlains experiences a temporary
shutdown of any of its generating units. Most power outages are due to
extreme weather conditions and rarely affect the entire City at one time.
WestPlains distributes electric energy throughout the City of Pueblo
through its transmission and distribution network. The study area is
served by a series of distribution substations. These substations are
served by 69,000 and 115,000 volt electric transmission lines
(See Map Series 26). The transmission lines are located on utility
easements of 120 ft. for parallel lines and 100 ft. for single lines.
WestPlains officials state that all requests for electric service in the
study area can be fulfilled with reasonable promptness.
WestPlains' service policy is found in Section 18 of its rules and
regulations manual. The policy states that an applicant's electric
requirements (either for an individual or a developer) are designated by
the company to be permanent, indeterminate, or temporary. Distribution
system extension costs are estimated on the basis of the anticipated
construction and installation costs, including material, labor,
rights —of —way, trenching, backfill, tree trimming, and any incidental and
overhead expenses. An applicant for permanent service is required to pay
all distribution extension costs in excess of a construction allowance
determined by WestPlains. The construction allowance is determined by the
type of service and the customer's estimated electrical power demand. The
customer's payment may be partially or totally refunded during a five —year
period. After five years, no refunds will be made. Indeterminate and
temporary customers are required to pay all distribution extension costs
and do not receive refunds unless reclassified as permanent by WestPlains.

E. GAS
The Public Service Company of Colorado provides gas service to Pueblo and
the surrounding area including the Southeast Quadrant. The company has an
agreement with the City to be the sole provider of gas within municipality
boundaries. Portions of Pueblo West and unincorporated areas of the
county utilize private propane gas tanks in lieu of Public Service gas.
Gas is supplied to the Public Service Company by Colorado Interstate Gas
(CIG) Company. CIG pipes are located east and south of the City; they lie
in a 100 ft. easement. The main taps on CIG lines are located in Belmont
in the Northeast and in Salt Creek near CF &I in the Southeast. The gas is
then distributed by the company.
Extension of distribution lines for new service is by application. The
company will designate an applicant's service needs as either permanent,
intermediate, or temporary. The proposed service installation is analyzed
in order to estimate costs of labor, materials, and rights —of —way, and any
incidental and overhead expenses. This estimate is the construction
payment.
An applicant for permanent service will receive a construction allowance.
Indeterminate and temporary customers do not receive construction
allowances. Distribution lines are installed by the company and paid for
by the applicant (less the construction allowance).
Construction payments are refundable in part or in their entirety within a
five year period, commencing with the extension completion date. When a
new customer is added to the line, his or her share of the construction
payment is refunded to those who initially paid for the installation of
the distribution line. These refunds are on a yearly basis. No refunds
are given to temporary or indeterminate customers unless the new applicant
is designated for permanent service.
The Public Service Company is regulated by the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission. Regulations are subject to periodic changes.

U. S. West will provide prompt service to all requests in its service
area. For most installations, the entire cost is paid for by the
developer. Upon the completion of installation, and for five years
thereafter, the developer will be entitled to refunds of part, or the
entirety, of the installation payments. This occurs when new customers
use the new distribution lines and when initial construction payments are
recalculated to include the new customer. Service to annexable areas
would be relatively simple as distribution lines are already in place.
U. S. West prefers to work closely with the developer so as to efficiently
serve new customers. Such cooperation facilitates the acquisition of
20 ft. easements for the cables and poles; it also ensures the use of the
most appropriate communications system.
G. CABLE TELEVISION
The Southeast Quadrant is in the service area of Telecommunications, Inc.
(TCI), Cablevision of Colorado. TCI offers cable television hookup and an
array of programming packages. TCI serves the City of Pueblo and the
St. Charles Mesa, Baxter, and Meadowbrook Mobile Trailer Park
communities. At present, most areas outside City limits are not serviced
by TCI. Company officials cite an insufficient population density as the
reason for not expanding into an area.
The company requires that there be 28 to 35 residences per square mile
prior to considering the extension of services. If service is to be
offered, company technicians estimate the total cost of materials, labor,
and installation methods needed to extend service. An application is made
to the company's budget committee for approval. The application and
installation process takes approximately one year.
TCI has a contract to use U. S. West telephone poles by application. It
is not opposed to installing cable underground and will work with the
developer in order to install cable in the least obtrusive manner. Cable
installation costs are approximately $5,000 for an aerial mile and $10,000
for a subsurface mile. All construction and installation costs of distri—
bution cables are paid for by the company. Residents who desire the cable
services pay for the initial hookup and then pay a monthly service charge.
Custom Cable Venture (CCU), Inc., has a franchise agreement with the
Pueblo West Metropolitan District to provide cablevision services within
district boundaries. CCV has obtained a special use permit from the
Pueblo County Planning Commission for the establishment of a receiving
station in Southeast Pueblo West. Service is anticipated to be phased in
(as population warrants) throughout Pueblo West.

A. SCHOOLS
Pueblo County has two public school districts, No. 60 and No. 70. School
District No. 60 is primarily contained within the Pueblo City limits;
however, it also includes land outside City limits. District boundaries
are not precisely the same as City limits in that some "City" children go
to "County" schools and vice versa (See Map Series 27).
1. School District No. 60
School District No. 60 is divided into four high school service areas
which relate closely to the City's Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and
Southwest Planning Quadrants.
District No. 60 raaintains a total of four (4) high schools, six (6) middle
schools, twenty —three (23) elementary schools, and a continuing education
center. The District prefers that its elementary schools be
"neighborhood" schools in that they are planned to be located centrally to
and within walking distance of the population they serve.
School District No. 60 acquires new school sites by working directly with
the developer. The School District prefers this method in lieu of land
dedication through the Subdivision Process because it allows them to
select quality land.
Potential future school sites currently exist in the University Park and
Belmont Subdivisions in the Northeast Quadrant, the Regency Park and
E1 Camino Subdivisions in the Southwest Quadrant, and the Northridge and
Eagleridge Subdivisions in the Northwest Quadrant.
— VII -1 —
The Northeast portion of the City contains four elementary schools, one
middle school, and one high school (See Hap 27.a.). Table VIII.a. shows
current enrollment for the 1997 -98 school year maximum capacity and
optimal capacity for each of the schools. All schools in the area can
presently accommodate increased enrollment growth.
Bradford, Fountain, Parkview, and Bessemer Elementary Schools and Risley
Pliddle School are located within the Southeast area of the District (See
iNap 27.b.). Fountain and Bradford Elementary Schools are nearing
capacity. A new Risley Middle School was recently completed. East High
School serves the Southeast area. This high school would be impacted by
additional growth in the Southeast portion of the School District.
Within the Southwest Quadrant, School District No. 60 currently serves the
area south of the Arkansas River and west of I -25 with eight elementary
schools, three middle schools, two high schools, and a continuing
education center (See Map 27.c.). Pitts Biddle School and South High
School have adequate room for enrollment growth; however, growth in the
Regency Park and E1 Camino neighborhoods may impact elementary school
enrollment and subsequent attainment of enrollment capacity.
ldithin the Northwest Quadrant, School District No. 60 currently serves the
area north of the Arkansas River and west of I -25 with three (3)
elementary schools, one (1) middle school, and one (1) high school (See
Map 27.d.). The middle school and high school have adequate room for
enrollment growth; however, due to new residential develop such as
Northridge and Eagleridge, some of the elementary schools are nearing
capacity. Hyde Park Elementary could be reopened if warranted by
development in the area.
District No. 50 also operates an additional five elementary schools - -the
Public School of Arts and Sciences, one middle school, and one high
school - -which do not lie within the planning quadrants and are not
expected to be impacted by annexation activity.

2. School District No. 70
School District No. 70 maintains three high schools, four middle schools,
a charter school and academy, seven elementary schools, and Beulah School
which functions as both an elementary and a middle school. In addition,
Baxter Elementary School, located north of the Arkansas River on Lane 28,
is currently being used for a pre— school program. This school was closed
for several years due to insufficient enrollment.
Except in Pueblo [-Jest, School District (lo. 70 is not experiencing intense
pressure associated with rapid development and increasing enrollment (See
Table IX). This iiay change with continuing growth and annexation by the
r,ietropolitan area. Presently, population is lightly concentrated along
U. S. Highway 50 and sparsely distributed throughout the rest of the
County.
The schools in District No. 70 are considered "suburban" schools by the
Colorado Department of Education. Approximately 94 percent of the
students are bussed to schools. The district identifies philosophically
with neighborhood schools and would construct additional facilities in an
area to rieet the deiiands of growth and develop,nent.
School District Plo. 70, through an agreement with Pueblo County, requires
that ten percent of net land in residential developments be dedicated for
school sites or that fees be paid to the District in lieu of land
dedication. School officials estiiiiate that ten to fifteen acres are
needed for an elementary school, twenty to twenty —five for a middle
school, and thirty —five to forty acres for a high school.

3. Detachment and Annexation of School Districts
Detachment and annexation of territory frori one district to another is a
cor,iplex process. The School District Organization Act of 1965, Section
22 -30 -138, states that if detachment and annexation is deeimed to be
worthwhile, then both boards of education must adopt a resolution to
change the boundaries of their respective districts. This resolution then
goes to a joint conr,rittee or to the District 70 superintendent for
approval. Once this is done, a special election is held in the territory
proposed to be detached. If five or fewer registered voters reside within
the territory proposed to be detached and annexed, a notarized statement
of consent of all voters within the territory shall make it unnecessary to
hold an election. In the absence of said statements, an election must be
held. If there are no registered voters within the territory, no election
is to be held; and the joint committee or District 70 superintendent shall
approve the proposed detachment and annexation of the territory. Such
detachr;ient and annexation of territory brings to issue not only student
welfare but district assets, liabilities, revenues, and influence. It
should not be assumed that Districts 60 and 70 would change their
boundaries when land is annexed to the City.

B. RECREATION
1. Parks and Recreation
The City of Pueblo has approximately 948 acres of parkland and 1,707 acres
of open space floodplain within its boundaries. Combined, these account
for more than ten percent of total City land. Recreational facilities
include a large urban park (City Park) which serves the entire Pueblo
community, a district park (Mineral Palace) which serves a portion of the
City, and smaller parks which serve neighborhood populations.
Parks and recreational land standards are expressed in terms of a given
number of acres per unit of population. Those quantitative standards
observed by the City Department of Planning and Development are as shown
in Table X.

— VII -10 —
As a home rule city, the City of Pueblo has the authority to own and
maintain property for public purposes. Parkland areas may be acquired
through City purchase, property gifts, through settlement of delinquent
taxes, abandonment, easements, and through land dedication.
Title XII, Chapter 4, Section 7(e) of the City Code of Ordinances, states
that eight percent of land subdivided for residential purposes (exclusive
of street widths) is to be dedicated as parkland. This land can be
several small parks or one large park depending on the needs of the
community. If the City Council determines that said land is not
appropriate for parkland dedication, the Council shall require a cash
payment in lieu of land dedication. This payment shall be equal to eight
percent of the fair market value of the land in such subdivisions. This
payment is deposited into a special fund to meet future recreational needs
in the City.
The City Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the develop-
ment, operation, and maintenance of recreational and park facilities. The
City Department of Planning and Development provides professional planning
and landscape design services when needed. Financing new parks and
recreational development is provided through the City's General Fund. The
dollars generated by the Colorado Lottery are deposited into the General
Fund and earmarked for "allowable" parks and recreation projects. Funding
is supplemented with State and Federal grants.
B -1. Northeast Quadrant
Presently, the Northeast Quadrant has 100.34 acres of recreational land
(excluding the new WalkingStick golf course which officially opened
July 1, 1991) (See Map 28.a. and Table XI.a.).
The Northeast Quadrant Study area has an estimated population of 14,965
with approximately 14,552 within City limits (City Information Department
estimates for 1985 from 1980 Census Tracts). Currently, this population
is not in need of a district park by the quantitative standards; however,
build -out of several proposed residential areas will create a demand for
such a park. City Parks and Recreation officials however have been
researching potential future locations for a larger park. Approximately
80 acres in the floodplain at the Fountain Creek, between the Creek and
the University Park Subdivision, is the most obvious choice for a district
park. The land is currently owned by the City and offers room for playing
fields, courts, parking, and picnicking. This proposed park would be an
ideal northern access point to the Pueblo trails system.
The City Parks and Recreation Department recommends the development of a
regional park in the Northeast Quadrant. This park would be a minimum of
200 acres and would serve the Northeast Quadrant. It could include
lighted fields and courts, a concessions area, rest rooms, ample parking,
and a large recreation complex.

League sports and evening activities could be concentrated here, away from
the City residential areas. It is envisioned that this park be developed
adjacent to the environmentally sensitive lands of Baculite Mesa and
nearby creeks and arroyos. The City, utilizing reclaimed sand and gravel
pits, could then offer sports areas and areas with varied terrain. The
multi- use trail should extend to this park, wind through natural areas,
and explore scenic vistas. It is unlikely that such a large area would be
donated to the City in full. The land would, most probably, have to be
purchased.

location. It should be noted that the City Park and Zoo and the Municipal
Golf Course are located in this quadrant and thus accounts for the high
acreage allotment.
The 1980 Urban Parks Recovery Action Program states that there is a lack
of medium and large scale recreational facilities City —wide. However, the
Southwest portion of the City enjoys the proximity to City Park and to the
Pueblo Dam and Reservoir State Park. The Southwest Quadrant has the
largest inventory of diversified facilities of all the planning districts.
Of the total parkland in the Southwest Quadrant, approximately seven to
ten percent (7 -10 %) of parks and recreational land is undeveloped or of
low development status. Those areas noted are Hudspeth Park, "Regency
Park" Park, Carlile School —Park, and Columbian, Jefferson, and Lincoln
School playgrounds.

2. Recreational Trails Svstem
The Pueblo River Trails System consists of non — motorized trails available
for bicyclists, pedestrians, horses, and other non — motorized
recreationalists (See Map 14 series). Trails in the City are generally
8 ft. wide and constructed of asphalt or concrete. Trails flank the
Arkansas River to the Reservoir and the Fountain Creek. Other paths are
located along sections of Wildhorse Creek, State Highway 78,
Northern Avenue, Pueblo Boulevard, State Highway 47, U. S. Highway 50
Bypass, and near the University of Southern Colorado.
It is desirable to plan for multipurpose trails in order that proper
rights —of —way be reserved and that a logical network can be constructed.
Trails in the study area should take advantage of the Arkansas River, rural
areas, proposed parks, and principal roadways. They should link existing
recreational facilities with natural settings and other public facilities.
The Pueblo Bicycle System and Trails Plan was completed in 1990 by the City
of Pueblo Department of Planning and Development. This plan examines the
existing trails system and proposes logical extensions of the system. The
plan also examines the trails design, construction factors, and safety.
The goal of the plan is to set forth policies aimed at the construction of
a trails system which will serve Pueblo in an efficient, safe, and quality
manner.
The Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development has outlined a
conceptual plan for a river trails recreational system. This plan would
include a multipurpose trail south of the river, linking small parks, the
Airport, and the St. Charles Mesa communities. The County Department will
research the possibility of acquiring land which was previously used for
mineral extraction activities. These areas, once reclaimed, could be
developed as recreational, picnic, and trail access areas.
3. Recreational Areas Outside Citv Limits
a. The St. Charles Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3
The St. Charles Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3 offer limited recreational uses.
Most activities such as hunting and fishing are managed by a private sports
club. The reservoirs are on land owned by CF &I and are available for
recreational purposes to a paying membership.
b. The Pueblo Dam and Reservoir State Park
The Pueblo Dam and Reservoir State Park is not within the study area;
however, its location offers a wealth of recreational opportunities to
Pueblo and to any future development in the Southwest Quadrant. This park
is accessed off of State Highway 96, approximately six miles west of the
City of Pueblo. Serving Southern Colorado, this State Park consists of
17,863 acres with 14,000 acres available for recreational purposes. The
upper reaches of the park are reserved for wildlife preservation under the
— VII -20 —
111 1 flit!
management of the Colorado State Division of Wildlife. The lower reaches
function as a recreational area under the management of the Colorado State
Division of Parks and Recreation. The activities offered include water
sports, limited hunting, fishing, hiking; bicycling, and picnicking. A fee
is charged to those persons entering the park by automobile or motorcycle.
c. The State Honor Farm
The State Honor Farm property is located adjacent to the Pueblo Dam and
Reservoir State Park and consists of 4,074 acres (See Map 29). The State,
under the Department of Institutions, began acquiring the Honor Farm in
1920. The farm was used until 1974 to produce milk and vegetables for the
patients of the Colorado State Hospital.
In 1974, the City of Pueblo leased the property under a renewable 20 —year
lease agreement. On July 25, 1986, the land was exchanged to the Colorado
Division of Parks, Department of Natural Resources. This Division has
prepared a management plan that will address proposed uses for the farm.
Under a direct management approach, the Division of Parks would become
involved directly in the management, operation, maintenance, and
development of the Honor Farm property. The terms and conditions of the
current lease with the City of Pueblo would remain in tact until expiration
on July 1, 1994. Upon expiration of the lease, the Division of Parks would
reclaim the Honor Farm property and assume direct management of it.
Reclaimed property would be annexed into the Pueblo State Recreation Area
for management, operation, maintenance, and development. The plan proposes
the following uses for the farm property as shown on Map 29.

The Greenway and Nature Center of Pueblo, commonly referred to-as the
Nature Center, consists of 22 acres owned by the City of Pueblo (shown as
No. 2 on Map 29). The City leases the property to the Nature Center which
offers general public educational programs involving short courses in
wildlife, geology, botany, weather, insects, and reptiles. In addition to
these educational programs, the Nature Center is utilized as a major rest
area for people using the Arkansas River nature trail system. This trail
system, managed jointly by the Nature Center and the City of Pueblo, is a
bicycle /pedestrian /equestrian trail. The trail is adjacent to the Arkansas
River, thereby offering users a scenic tour of a natural river habitat.
e. Pueblo Motor Sports Park, Inc.
Pueblo Motor Sports (PMI), Inc., subleases 800 acres of the State Honor
Farm property from the City of Pueblo (Shown as No. 12 on Map 29). PMI
entered into the sublease in December, 1974, and in February, 1975,
construction began. PMI offers scheduled drag and road racing activities,
including an annual Winston Road Race.
C. FIRE
1. City Fire Department
The Pueblo City Fire Department provides standard fire protection to the
City of Pueblo. The Department employs 134 fire fighters and three
administrative assistants and operates nine fire stations. Operating and
improvement costs are budgeted by the City.
By Fire Department standards, a station should be central to its service
area with no point further than one and one -half miles away. It is ideal
to have a maximum response time of 4.5 to 5 minutes to any point in the
service area. Roadways, accessibility, and the number and density of
houses are all factors contributing to new fire station locations.
- VII -23 -
to have a maximum response time of 4.5 to 5 minutes to any point in the
service area. Roadways, accessibility, and the number and density of
houses are all factors contributing to new fire station locations.
Once an area is annexed into the City, the City Fire Department becomes
responsible for fire protection in the area. In the event that a new
station was needed, the Fire Department would apply for special funding
from City Council. A new fire station, utilities, a new pumper truck,
equipment, and fire fighter salaries (three shifts and backup personnel)
would initially amount to $861,000 (1989 dollars). Annual operation costs
would be approximately $400,000 (1989 dollars).
The City Fire Department has a hazardous materials response team ( "Haz -Mat
Team ") located at Station No. 4 at 1201 E. Evans Avenue. This crew is
specially trained and equipped to contain hazardous material (chemicals,
radioactive material, and some waste products) accidents. They will
respond to accidents outside the City limits.
The City is divided into eight fire protection zones and one zone at the
Pueblo Memorial Airport. Each is served by a fully equipped fire station.
Following is a description of fire service by planning quadrant:
C -1. Northeast Quadrant (See Map 30.a.
Station No. 6, located at 1335 E. Fourth Street, is equipped with the same
type truck and is operated by three, three - person shifts.

three - person sifts and is equipped with a three -way pumper truck.
University Park is not within 1.5 miles from any City fire station.
Station No. 8 is presently serving the area. Land in University Park has
been deeded to the City Fire Department; however, a definite time schedule
for development of the station has not been determined.
C -2. Southeast Quadrant (See Map 30.b.)
Station No. 4 , located at 1201 E. Evans, is equipped with a three -way
pumper truck and an 85 ft. aerial fire truck. This station employs three,

rescue truck, a pumper truck, and a 16 ft. boat. It is staffed by three,
eight — person shifts.
Station No. 3, located at 123 W. Evans, is equipped with a medical rescue
unit and a pumper truck. It is staffed by three, five — person shifts.
Station No. 5, located at 2401 6th Avenue, is equipped with a pumper
truck. It is staffed by three, three — person shifts.
Station No. 7, located at the northeast corner of Pueblo Boulevard and
St. Clair Avenue, is equipped with a three —way pumper truck and is staffed
by three, three — person shifts.
2. Pueblo Memorial Airport
The Pueblo Memorial Airport is staffed 24 hours a day by two people and is
equipped with a three —way pumper truck and two crash trucks complete with
foam and powder fire retardants to control fuel fires. The responsibility
of the station is to provide protection to the terminal facility, to
air —side (landing zones, taxiways, ramps, hangars, etc.) emergencies, and
also to the AIP.
— VII -29 —
The Department of Public Safety and Operations (previously Civil Defense)
is also located at the airport. In the case of any peace time
accident -- natural or man — made -- including nuclear accidents, the staff of
four and a trained volunteer response team of 20 to 30 persons will assist
in the planning, mitigation, preparation, and exercising of disaster
plans. They respond County —wide and have vehicles, medical supplies,
tools, and other emergency equipment.
3. Pueblo Rural Fire District
The Pueblo Rural Fire District is made up of two fire stations (See
Map 30.b.) and serves the unincorporated area of the Southeast Quadrant.
The District has a mutual aid agreement with the City Fire Department
stating that either department will assist the other, upon request, in the
event of an emergency.
4. CF &I
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation (CF &I), located in the Southeast
Quadrant, has its own fire protection service. The City Fire Department
has a mutual aid agreement with CF &I.
5. West Park Fire Protection District
The West Park Protection District is operated from one station located at
3926 Goodnight Avenue. It is staffed entirely by volunteers and equipped
with two pumper trucks, one 1,500 gallon tanker truck, and one pickup
truck. The district's service area, which is entirely within the
unincorporated area, is depicted on Map 30.c.
Funding for the district is provided through a special tax district. As
all or portions of the district's service area annexes into the City, the
district's tax base will be reduced. Reduction of the tax base will
require the district to increase its mill levy. This will continue until
financing of the fire station becomes economically infeasible.
The West Park Fire Protection District has a mutual aid agreement with the
City of Pueblo Fire Department stating that either department will assist
the other, upon request, in the event of an emergency. The West Park
District does not provide medical assistance.
6. Pueblo West Fire Department
The Pueblo West Fire Department is operated from two stations (See
Map 30.d.). With the exception of a permanent fire chief, it is staffed
entirely by volunteers (currently 38). The service is maintained under
the auspices of the Pueblo West Metropolitan District. Fire Station No. 1
is equipped with two pumper trucks, a rescue truck, and a mini pumper
truck. Fire Station No. 2 is equipped with a pumper truck, a squad truck,
and a brush truck.
— VII -30 —
The Pueblo West Fire Department has a mutual aid agreement with the City
of Pueblo Fire Department stating that either department will assist the
other, upon request, in the event of an emergency. Pueblo West currently
does not provide extraterritorial fire service and does not anticipate
doing so in the future.
7. Unincorporated Area
Portions of the unincorporated study area which are not within the Pueblo
Rural Fire District, the West Park Fire Protection District, or the Pueblo
West Fire District do not have fire protection. The County Sheriff's
Department will respond to rangeland fires only. The crew for rangeland
fires consists of volunteers, not certified Sheriff Deputies. The
Department has one tanker truck.
8. Summary
Long —range expansion plans for the Pueblo City Fire Department are
dependent upon the location of new development. Development plans for
proposed annexations will be reviewed in relation to new road
construction, number of existing and new buildings, density of buildings,
and other factors which may affect response time.
Priority for the Fire Department is the construction of a new station in
University Park.
D. POLICE
1. City Police Department
The Pueblo City Police Department is located at 130 Central Main Street.
All operations are headquartered from this location. There are no
substations. The Department employs 171 authorized sworn officers and
maintains an array of patrol vehicles. The City is divided into ten
beats, or routes, which are patrolled 24 hours a day in three shifts. The
annual cost for one beat is approximately $207,500, including three,
one — person shifts of officers, backup personnel, and automobile expenses
and repairs (1989 Dollars).
All areas within Pueblo County (incorporated and unincorporated) are
within the jurisdiction of the County Sheriff. However, when land is
annexed to the City, the Police Department assumes primary protection of
that area. There are no specific standards for instituting a new patrol
route. If the department has a concern for an area as to the amount of
protection needed, a study will be organized by the department. This
inquiry will examine the level, type, and density of development, the
employment sources, and the employee and consumer generating sources.
— VII -31 —
Business and commercial development requires higher levels of protection
than does strictly residential development. The sources of employment,
employees, and consumers will indicate to the Department if activity is
new to the Pueblo area or merely a shift from another area. The decision
to create a new beat will be based on the City Police Department study.
The City Police Department is presently responsible for protection of the
airport and AIP. A uniformed police officer must be present for all
departing flights. These duties are provided for by a special operations
section. Airport and AIP protection is detailed in the "Airport" Section.
Long —term plans of the Police Department are dependent upon growth and
development - -where it takes place and what economic, social, and political
changes occur. Officials envision an expansion of the Northeast beat, a
separate beat to include the airport and surrounding development, and a
permanent position to perform airport duties.
The Southeast portion of the City is protected by four patrol.rsoutes.
These routes have been expanded to incorporate the 1988 U. S. Highway 50 —B
annexation. With the addition of this annexed property, the capability of
further expansion of police service is at a minimum. Pueblo's Police
Chief has stated that City Council must review the capability of the
Department's current staff to support and serve any additional annexations
to the City.
The Southwest and Northwest portions of the City are not "busy" by
official police terms. The Police Chief has stated that there would be no
need in the foreseeable future to establish another patrol route in these
quadrants. However, annexation may trigger the expansion of current beats
and the need for additional patrol officers within the current police
framework.
2. County Sheriff Department
The County Sheriff deputies patrol all areas outside the City, with the
exception of the airport and airport industrial park. They frequently
patrol the West Park and the Stonemoor Hills areas. The County Sheriff
deputies do not regularly patrol the open rangeland. Upon annexation,
police protection responsibility transfers from the County Sheriff
Department to the Pueblo City Police Department.

VIII. CURRENT ZONING AND LAND USE
PREFACE
Current land uses within the Northeast Quadrant reflect zoning patterns
that are based on historical trends. The predominately single — family
housing areas of Belmont and University Park within City boundaries
reflect residential and commercial trends. The Belle Plain area and the
airport industrial park reflect a different scope of the City and County
economic development efforts.
Trends indicate that the Southeast Quadrant will not likely develop into
an extensive residential area.
The Southwest Quadrant will likely continue to develop into an extensive
residential area.
In the Northwest Quadrant, trends indicate it will likely continue to
develop into an extensive residential area, interspersed with commercial,
office, and industrial areas. This section will document current zoning
and land uses in both the City and the County. Zoning and land uses
recommended by this plan reflect a desire for compatible yet flexible
planning policies.
A. CITY ZONING
A -1. Northeast Quadrant
The Northeast portion of the City is designated primarily as single— family
residential with commercial zoning located at the intersection of
Bonforte Boulevard and U. S. Highway 50. Two large single— family
residential subdivisions and the University of Southern Colorado have been
established within the City boundaries. University Park Subdivision is
residentially zoned with commercial uses bordering Colorado Highway 47.
Agricultural, open space, light industrial, and pockets of commercial
zoning lie to the north along the I -25 Corridor (See Map 31.a.). The
University of Southern Colorado is zoned for public use, yet is bordered
by adjacent and developed commercial, single— family, and multifamily
residential properties.
A -2. Southeast Quadrant
Zoning trends in the Southeastern part of the City reflect a transition
from residential uses in the north to industrial areas in the south. The
area in the northwest corner of the quadrant is primarily residential,
with pockets of neighborhood commercial zones. Toward the Missouri-

Pacific Railroad and the - confluence of the Fountain Creek and
Arkansas River, parcels tend to be industrial and public. Continuing
south is a small residential area surrounded by industrial lands, followed
by the residential areas near Lake Minnequa (See Map 31.b.).
A -3. Southwest Quadrant
Zoning trends in the Southwestern part of the City are primarily
designated as single— family residential. Urban subdivisions include
Sunset Park, Regency Park, E1 Camino, Highland Park, Starlite Hills, and
Sunny Heights. The La Vista Hills Subdivision, located immediately east
of the Arkansas Valley Conduit, is a rural subdivision zoned A -4
(Agricultural, minimum one —half acre). Commercial zones are found along
Pueblo Boulevard and Prairie Avenue and in pockets along State Highways 78
and 96. Light industrial zones are scattered along Prairie Avenue,
including Graneros Industrial Park on the southern border of the City.
Several hundred acres of vacant, light — industrial land and some open
rangeland lie adjacent to Interstate 25 South (See Map 31.c.).
A -4. Northwest Quadrant
Zoning trends in the Northwest portion 'of the City are primarily
designated as single — family residential. Newer urban subdivisions include
Northridge and Eagleridge. Commercial zones are found along Interstate 25
and U. S. Highway 50. Light and heavy industrial zones are scattered
throughout the quadrant. Several hundred acres of open rangeland zoning
exist in the Northernmost portion of the City (See 31.d.).
B. COUNTY ZONING
B -1. Northeast Quadrant
The majority of County land in the study area is zoned A -1, indicating a
range type agricultural use. Rural residential and a small pocket of
industrially zoned land is located in the Northwestern corner of the study
area. Heavy industrial zoning follows the U. S. Highway 50 Corridor. The
Pueblo Memorial Airport, owned by the City of Pueblo, is zoned as public
land. The airport industrial park is zoned for light industrial uses,
with pockets of public land dedicated for drainage purposes (See Map
32.a.).
B -2. Southeast Quadrant
Areas in the Southeast Quadrant present a wide variety of Pueblo County
land use zones. Industrial zones include the CF &I Steel Corporation and
the Comanche power generating plant. The southern portion of the
St. Charles Mesa is agriculturally zoned. The Blende community and areas
adjacent to U. S. Highway 50 —C include primarily low to medium density
housing, rural residential areas, and some agricultural uses.

These residential areas are mixed with commercial zones along U. S.
Highway 50 —C. Approaching the river from the south, zoning returns to
agricultural areas (A -2) and open space floodplains (S -1).
Map 32.b. details current zoning in the proposed urban extension area.
Here the land begins in the west with industrial and public lands, a few
residential parcels, and then is zoned agricultural near the river.
Adjacent to U. S. Highway 50 —B are several industrially zoned properties
and a multiple — residential and commercial zone which includes a
nonconforming mobile home park. The residential community of Baxter
provides low —to— medium— density residential zoning with some commercial
zoning. A second multiple residential and commercial zone containing a
nonconforming mobile home park is located between Lanes 33 and 34.
Agricultural land continues to the eastern boundary of the area.
B -3. Southwest Quadrant
Areas in the unincorporated portion of the study area are primarily zoned
open space rangeland. The West Park and Stonemoor Hills areas and the
area immediately west of Regency Park are zoned rural — residential. Areas
north and south of Regency Park are zoned for medium — density residential
development. Two small parcels of public land and one commercial parcel
are located along Highway 78 (See Map 32.c.).
B -4. Northwest Quadrant
Land in the unincorporated portion of the study area is primarily zoned
open space rangeland. Rural residential zoning is located in the majority
of those areas of Pueblo West within the study area. Some scattered
industrial zoning also exists (See Map 32.d.).
C. LAND USES
C -1. Northeast Quadrant
1. General
Land uses in the Northeast Quadrant are primarily urban residential within
the Corporate City limits and rural residential and agricultural in the
remainder of the study area. The majority of the land in the
unincorporated portion of the quadrant serves as open rangeland. The
Pueblo Memorial Airport and industrial park is also within the quadrant
and is addressed under Sections III and IV of this study.
2. Belle Plain
Belle Plain is located to the immediate north of U. S. Highway 50 and to
the east of Colorado Highway 47 (See Map 33). Several large auto salvage
operations and some residential development are found on land that is
zoned Industrial, Category 3. The I -3 zoning allows all heavy industrial

uses as a use —by —right except hazardous waste facilities. Residential
uses here include housing for caretakers and security, some nonconforming
residences (those not allowed by zoning ordinances, but having been
established before such zones were designated in 1963), and vacant older
homes. Water and sewer are provided by private cisterns and septic tanks.
County Zoning I -3 has no requirements for the landscaping or screening of
industrial grounds. The City, however, requires that salvage yards be
completely enclosed by a 7 ft. fence of masonry, wood, or ornamental
hedge. No stacked vehicles may be visible above the screen, and the
operation shall not encroach upon or utilize any areas outside the salvage
yards (Title 9, Chapter 7).
3. Farmland
The economy of Pueblo County is partially based on the farming and
ranching industry. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Soil
Conservation Service, is charged with the responsibility of identifying
and locating prime and unique farmlands. This important farmland program
encourages the identification of farmlands of Statewide and local
importance. A minimal amount of the open rangeland in the Northeast
Quadrant is classified as "Prime Farmland If Irrigated" by the USDA Soil
Conservation Service (See Map 34.a.). The high cost of irrigation to most
of the Northeast Quadrant is a deterrent to large —scale farming in the
study area. Therefore, most of the agricultural use in this quadrant is
devoted to open rangeland.
C -2. Southeast Quadrant
1. General
Land uses in the Southeast Quadrant study area vary widely. In the study
area, land uses are primarily residential and rural residential. These
are supported by commercial uses along U. S. Highway 50 —C
(Santa Fe Drive). Small scale farming is also prevalent. Two large
industries, CF &I Steel Corporation and Public Service Company's Comanche
Power Plant, are located in this quadrant.
Land uses between U. S. Highway 50 —B and the Arkansas River include
Pueblo's East Side low— density residential uses, some warehousing
activities, and other commercial uses. There is a wastewater treatment
plant, mineral extraction operations, and vacant land in the area.
Continuing east, small scale industries flank U. S. Highway 50 —B.
Agricultural or vacant lands are situated between these and the
Arkansas River. There is a mobile home park, the residential community of
Baxter, and several convenience markets. Continuing east is located a
second mobile home park and agricultural uses in the study area's
boundary.

2. Farmland
Prime agricultural land, as identified on Map 34.b., is defined as having
adequate and dependable water supply from irrigation, a favorable
temperature and growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, and
acceptable salt and sodium content. Soils should be permeable to air and
water, not excessively erodible, nor excessively saturated with water.
It is recommended by this plan that the prime agricultural land located in
the Southeast Quadrant's proposed urban extension area remain as
agricultural and rural residential areas.
C -3. Southwest Quadrant
1. General
Land uses in the Southwest Quadrant study area are primarily urlian and
rural residential. These residential uses are supported by commercial
uses along Pueblo Boulevard, Prairie Avenue, Northern Avenue, and
Thatcher Avenue. The Graneros Industrial Park is located at the southern
boundary of the City. The majority of land in the unincorporated portion
of the Southwest Quadrant serves as open rangeland. Also within the study
area are two active mineral extraction sites and an oil /gas exploration
site. The Pueblo City— County Landfill known as the South Side Landfill
and the closed Southwest Dump are discussed in detail under their own
subsections.
2. Farmland
The Soil Conservation Service has classified much of the open rangeland in
the Southwest Quadrant as "Prime Land If Irrigated," as shown on
Map 34.c. Small farming operations are located along Salt Creek.
However, the high cost of irrigation to most of the Southwest Quadrant is
a deterrent to large —scale farming in the study area.
3. The Pueblo City — County Landfill
This solid waste disposal site and facility, also known as the Pueblo
South Side Landfill, is located southwest of the City of Pueblo and
northwest of SH 78 (See Map 35). The City of Pueblo annexed the entire
landfill site in May of 1990. Zupan has purchased 90+ acres for Phases II
and III and the Borrow area. This landfill was initially operated as a
dump when open burning was routine and application of daily cover was not
yet practiced. Conversion of the dump to a landfill began around 1968.
Colorado's "Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Regulations" were
adopted February 16, 1972, and became effective April 1, 1972. The
initial Certificate of Designation (COD) for the Pueblo South Side
Landfill, as per State regulations, was issued by the Board of County
Commissioners on September 19, 1972. The COD was subsequently amended on

January 8, 1985, and again -on December 13, 1988. The 1985 amendment
increased the total area within the COD boundary to approximately
361 acres. The increased acreage provided additional area for
landfilling, but most importantly provided an on —site area to obtain
sufficient materials for daily, intermediate, and final cover of the waste
(referred to as the Borrow Area on Map 35).
The 1988 amendment was precipitated to allow an additional volume equal to
20 months of landfill life to be added to the landfill.
The City was given approval by the State Health Department in February,
1991, to change the final contours of the landfill to allow continuing
operation to approximately October of 1991.
In April of 1991, the City entered into an agreement with Zupan
Enterprises to sell approximately 90 acres of the property within the COD
area for future landfilling. This included the Phases II and III areas
which have been approved for landfilling by the State. The landfill
accepts solid wastes (refuse and garbage) but is not permitted to store
nor dispose of hazardous wastes on the premises.
When the Pueblo South Side Landfill area is closed (Phase I), a lengthy
reclamation period (between 10 to 50 years) may be required because of the
very dry area in which the landfill is located in. By State law,
post— closure monitoring of the landfill for subsidence, methane gas
leakage, groundwater quality, and success of reclamation must be conducted
for a period of five years. If problems arise with any of these monitored
elements, the monitoring time may be extended.
Fuelco, a private enterprise, negotiated a lease with the City and
constructed a facility on the land site to recover and process methane for
conversion to diesel fuel and other industrial products.
4. The Southwest Dum
The Southwest Dump is located southwest of the City of Pueblo and
northwest of State Highway 78 (See Map 35). It was owned and was operated
by the City as an open —burn dump until late 1965 /early 1966 when it was
replaced by the Pueblo South Side Landfill (then called the "New Southwest
Disposal Area "). No cover dirt was available at the Southwest Dump and
was obtained from off —site sources. The City still owns the dump site.
The Pueblo City— County Health Department conducted a survey of the
Southwest Dump on September 6, 1978. Approximately 20 holes, 50 yds.
apart, were punched and tested for methane in a cross — sectional area of
the dump. No methane was found in any of the samples taken. Although the
testing was conducted according to accepted methods, this test did not
guarantee the absence of methane since the test holes were only to a depth
of 3.5 ft. The depth at which the burn refuse begins is unknown.

5. Valco, Inc
Valco, Inc., was issued a special use permit (SUP) for the extraction and
processing of natural deposits on approximately 262 acres immediately
north and south of the Arkansas River (See Map 22.d.). The majority of
the Valco property is located within the Southwest Quadrant's proposed
urban extension area. In addition, Valco is currently in the process of
negotiating a contract with the Colorado Division of Parks and Recreation
for gravel extraction on 40 acres along the north bank of the Arkansas
River which will also require a special use permit.

Goodnight was the first to set up an extensive cattle ranching industry in
the State. His cattle trails to the rail heads were followed by smaller
ranchers on their drives.
The barn is the remaining symbol of Goodnight's famous Rock Canyon Ranch
and was constructed by his hands in 1871. The barn is constructed of
limestone blocks and is in a state of disrepair. The Southern Colorado
Conservancy District is actively pursuing short range restoration plans
with Valco. It is the district's long range intent to see the Goodnight
Barn fully restored.
C -4. Northwest Quadrant
1. General
Land uses in the Northwest Quadrant are primarily urban and rural
residential. These residential uses are supported by commercial uses
along I -25 and U. S. Highway 50 —A and the downtown commercial /office
area. Several salvage yards exist in the City portion of the quadrant and
comprise the majority of industrial uses. The majority of land in the
unincorporated portion of the Northwest Quadrant (excluding Pueblo West
property) serves as open rangeland. Also within the study area is one

A minimal amount of the open rangeland in the Northwest Quadrant is
classified as "Prime Farmland If Irrigated" by the USDA Soil Conservation
Service (See Map 34.d.). Small farming operations are located along
Salt Creek. However, the high cost of irrigation to most of the Northwest
Quadrant is a deterrent to large —scale farming in the study area.
