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.
