Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Steven Meier, Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS IN THE WALKING STICK VISTA PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS WALKING STICK VISTA SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to amend certain setback provisions contained within the Walking Stick Vista Planned Unit Development Guide. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to amend pages 1 and 16 the PUD development guide for the Walking Stick Vista PUD. The amendments include the following: st 1. Adding “1 Amendment” to the title of the document, 2. For the PA-2 area - eliminating the bulk standards for lots over 75’ in width, 3. For the PA-2 area - changing Single Family Detached (lot width 60’ – 74’) to (lot width 60’ or above), 4. For the PA-2 area - changing the second yard setback for garages from 20’ to 18’ in all Single Family Detached and Attached lot widths, 5. For the PA-2 area - changing the side yard setback for garages in the Single Family Detached (lot width 60’ or above) from 7’ to 5,’ 6. For the PA-2 area - changing the side yard setback for livable portion of homes in the Single Family Detached (lot width 60’ or above) from 7’ to 5,’ 7. For the PA-2 area - changing the maximum lot coverage in the Single Family Detached (lot width 60’ or above) from 60% to 65%, 8. For the PA-2 area - adding a provision that garages must be 30’ or less frontage at the curb, and 9. For the PA-2 area - adding a provision that driveways must be made of cement, pavers or a combination of both. No asphalt is required. These changes will allow the owner of the properties to market them with side yard setbacks the same as the majority of the City of Pueblo. The major difference between these standards and a property zoned R-2, is the allowance of the livable portion of the home being allowed to be set back only 20’. In addition, R-2 zoned property requires a maximum lot coverage of 50%. Given the setbacks required with this development, Staff feels most properties will be unable to even exceed 50% lot coverage; therefore, staff has no issues with the increase from 60% to 65% lot coverage. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their September 9, 2015 Regular Meeting, voted 6-0 to recommend approval with Council Person Schilling absent. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: The Planning Department sent out Notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing to all property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property. A Public Notice poster was placed on the subject property 15 days prior to the Public Hearing. ALTERNATIVES: If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the current zoning would remain. Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
