TITLE
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE SCHERMERHORN SUBDIVISION PLAT
ISSUE
Shall City Council approve the request to subdivide a .82-acre of land into one lot to
facilitate commercial development?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 14, 2010 Regular Meeting, voted 6-
0 to recommend approval with conditions. Subsequently, all conditions of approval
have been met by the applicant.
BACKGROUND
The Applicant is proposing to subdivide a .82-acre parcel of land into one lot to facilitate
commercial development along Chinook Lane. The subject site is the southern most
portion of a 3.92-acre of unsubdivided land. The site is surrounded by Belmont, Filing
80, (subdivided in 1977) to the east and Filing 89, (subdivided in 1986) to the north-
west. Despite the fact the subject site was never subdivided, it was once developed for
commercial use.
An overhead electric utility line runs parallel with the eastern property line. The line is a
69,000 Volt transmission line; because it is over 30,000 Volts City regulations do not
require it to be placed underground (Section 12-4-7 (6) a., Pueblo Municipal Code). All
landscaping will beaddressed at the time of Commercial Development through the
commercial review process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
