INTRODUCED: September 9, 2013 BY: Chris Kaufman PASSED AND APPROVED: September 23, 2013 Background Paper for Proposed ORDINANCE DATE: SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 AGENDA ITEM # R-3 DEPARTMENT: PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT JULIE ANN WOODS, AICP/ASLA, DIRECTOR TITLE AN ORDINANCE CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FOR A PARCEL OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF SANTA FE AVENUE, ALONG THE CURRENT GRUMA DRIVE FROM B-4, REGIONAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND I-3, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO S-1, GOVERNMENTAL USE ZONE DISTRICT AND B-4, REGIONAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ISSUE Should City Council approve a request to rezone the property from B-4, Regional Business District and I-3, Heavy Industrial District to S-1, Governmental Use and B-4, Regional Business District? RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 14, 2013 Regular Meeting, voted 7-0 to recommend approval. BACKGROUND The subject property is located in Downtown Pueblo, directly south of the Spring Hill Suites Hotel. The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from B-4, Regional Business District and I-3, Heavy Industrial District to B-4 on Lot 1 and S-1 for Parcel C, Gruma Drive. The proposed action would eliminate heavy industrial zoned land near Downtown revitalization efforts and potential future extensions of Pueblo’s Riverwalk. The rezoning and concurrent subdivision will clean up aging land arrangements for a more modern redeveloping Downtown by allowing Lot 1 to be developed and making Gruma Drive, which already acts as a City street (but not a dedicated Right-of-Way) to be zoned appropriately. FINANCIAL IMPACT None.
