TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO A-3 AND A-4 ZONE DISTRICTS AND HOME
OCCUPATIONS AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve an Ordinance allowing Home Occupations as a Use
by Review in the Agricultural Three (A-3) and Agricultural Four (A-4) Zone Districts?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their April 10, 2013 Regular Meeting voted 5-
0 to recommend approval of the proposed Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
Home Occupations are defined as limited commercial activities and must be classified
as a service, such as a small beauty salon. Home Occupations are allowed as a Use
by Review in most residential zone districts, but they were never allowed in A-3 and A-
4 zone districts when the zoning code was approved in 1968. Most A-3 and A-4 zoned
land functions as large lot country residential style development. Homes in A-3 and A-
4 zone districts function similar to adjacent neighborhoods zoned residential except
they may have horses and limited agricultural uses for the residents. The text
amendment would allow residents in the A-3 and A-4 zones to apply to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for approval of service type home occupations as a Use by Review
on a case by case basis. The Zoning Board would help mitigate any occupation activity
by applying relevant conditions as they do in other residential zone districts in the City.
The text amendment would not allow large, commercial operations and would not alter
any of the uses that are already allowed in the zone district.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
