TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO R-2, R-3, AND R-4 ZONE DISTRICTS AND BED
AND BREAKFAST INNS AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
ISSUE
Should City Council amend Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
relating to the R-2, R-3, and R-4 Zone Districts and Bed and Breakfast Inns?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their March 14, 2012 Regular Meeting, voted
4-0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Ordinance will allow for Bed and Breakfast Inns to be allowed in the R-2,
R-3, and R-4 Residential Zone Districts, upon issuance of a Special Use Permit through
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Currently Bed and Breakfast Inns are allowed as a Use by
Review in R-5 and R-6 Zone Districts. Bed and Breakfast Homes are allowed as a Use
by Review in R-1, R-2, R-2U, R-3, R-4, R-5 and R-6 Zone Districts. Both bed and
breakfast uses are allowed as a Use by Right in all B-3 and B-4 Zone Districts. The
Ordinance would allow homeowners the opportunity to reinvest in older neighborhoods,
find economically viable uses for large historic homes, and increase lodging tax revenue
after thorough review by City Planning staff and approval from the Zoning Board of
Appeals to ensure neighborhood compatibility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
