FROM: Steven Meier, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 17-2-1 OF CHAPTER 2, 17-4-
2, 17-4-3, 17-4-4, 17-4-5, 17-4-9, 17-4-10, 17-4-11, 17-4-24, 17-4-43, 17-

13-2 OF CHAPTER 13 AND 17-15-6 OF CHAPTER 15 OF TITLE XVII
AND ADDING SECTIONS 17-2-2 OF CHAPTER 2 TITLE XVII OF THE
PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PERMITTED USES,
DEFINITIONS AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND PROVIDING
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a text amendment that will amend Title XVII of the Pueblo
Municipal Code relating to allowed uses and definitions.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The current Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1968 as a major upgrade to the 1931
Zoning Ordinance. Throughout the years many incremental changes have been made
resulting in it being very difficult to use and interpret. This has caused many issues for
the Planning and Community Development Department as well as the general public.
The proposed amendments seek to alleviate many of the issues our customers and
department staff encounter on a daily basis. Some of these issues include the
following:
1. The current code is very difficult to use and creates many inconsistent
interpretations.
2. There is no consistency between Zone Districts
a. Residence, over 4 family in one zone district and Apartment
building in another zone district.
3. Not all uses are defined and some are defined but are not used anywhere
in the code.
a. For example, Boarding house and Christian science practitioner are
listed uses, but neither are defined.
b. Also, Pet shop, Mini-warehouse and Home, nursing are defined,
but are not used anywhere in the code.
4. The uses are very confusing, for example:
a. Is Auto storage different than Auto parking?
b. Home, nursing is defined, but under permitted uses, Nurses home,
dormitory is listed. Are these two the same?
5. Many of the uses included are outdates, for example:
a. Asbestos products, buggy manufacturer, and Phonograph records,
manufacture are all uses listed in the code.
6. Since the code has been cobbled over the years, uses don’t always make
sense where they are allowed and not allowed, for example:
a. In the R-5 Zone District, a Hospital is allowed by right, but a
restaurant requires a Special Use Permit.
b. Also in the R-5 Zone District, an office is allowed, yet a Home
occupation requires a Special Use Permit.
c. Church and religious institutions are allowed in the R-2 Zone
District, yet they are not allowed at all in the B-1 Zone District.
7. Many of the Zone Districts handle uses differently, being very specific in
some, yet very general in others. This leaves a lot of interpretation up to
the Land Use staff.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their October 14, 2015 Regular Meeting voted
4-0 to recommend approval of the text amendment (Eslinger, Latka and Lucas absent).
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Pueblo Chieftain and a Public Hearing
was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 14, 2015.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
will not be amended to reflect the proposed changes relating to allowed uses and
definitions, and will remain under the current 1968 approved ordinance as amended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.

adjoining lots indicates otherwise, front yards shall be provided on all frontages.
Where one (1) of the front yards that would normally be required on a through lot is
not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the Administrative Official may
waive the requirements for the normal front yard and substitute therefor a special
yard requirement which shall not exceed the average of the yards provided on
adjacent lots.

yard of the required depth shall be provided in accordance with the prevailing yard
pattern and a second front yard of half the depth required generally for front yards
in the district shall be provided on the other frontage.
c. In the case of reversed frontage corner lots, a front yard of the required
depth shall be provided on either frontage, and a second front yard of half the
depth required generally for front yards in the district shall be provided on the other

depth required generally in the district; and (2) no other front yard on such lot shall
have less than half the full depth required generally.
(69) Depth of required front yards shall be measured at right angles to a straight
line joining the foremost points of the side lot lines. The foremost point of the side lot

be the point at which the side and front lot lines would have met without such rounding.
(70) Yard, side means a yard extending from the rear line of the required front yard
to the rear lot line, or in the absence of any clearly defined rear lot line, to the point on
the lot farthest from the intersection of the lot line involved with the public street. In the
case of through lots, side yards shall extend from the rear lines of front yards required.
In the case of corner lots, yards remaining after full- and half-depth front yards have
been established shall be considered side yards.
(71) Width of a required side yard shall be measured in such a manner that the
yard established is a strip of the minimum width required by district regulations with its
inner edge parallel with the side lot line.
(72) Yard, rear means a yard extending across the rear of the lot between inner
side yard lines. In the case of through lots and corner lots, there will be no rear yards,
but only front and side yards. Depth of a required rear yard shall be measured in such a
manner that the yard established is a strip of the minimum width required by district
regulations with its inner edge parallel with the rear lot line.
(73) Yard, special means a yard behind any required yard adjacent to a public or
approved private street, required to perform the same functions as a side or rear yard,
but adjacent to a lot line so placed or oriented that neither the term side yard nor the
term rear yard clearly applies. In such cases, the Administrative Official shall require a
yard with minimum dimensions as generally required for a side yard or a rear yard in the
district, determining which shall apply by the relation of the portion of the lot on which
the yard is to be located to the adjoining lot or lots, with due regard to the orientation
and location of structures and buildable areas thereon.

at all times.
(d) Fencing or screening of vacant lots shall obtain prior approval
of the committee and such fencing material shall be constructed of
material compatible in color, texture and design with adjacent
structures and screening.
(e) Rehabilitation reconstruction. All buildings, structures and sites
shall be considered products of their own time. Changes which have
taken place in the course of time may be reflected in the
development of a building; however, all rehabilitation shall preserve
the character and distinguishing original qualities of the building,
structure, site and surrounding environment. Applicants for a

with a method that is most likely to preserve the integrity and
appearance of the structure. Sandblasting and other cleaning
methods that will damage the historic building materials are
prohibited.
(5) That reinforcement required for structural stability or the
installation of life, safety or updated building code
requirements shall be concealed wherever possible to avoid
concealment of aesthetic or historical qualities.
(6) That reconstruction of a portion of a structure will be
undertaken only when such work is necessary to reproduce a
significant missing feature of a building or structure.
(f) Alteration and new construction. Alterations shall not destroy
the significant historical, architectural or cultural materials of the
building or structure, and shall be constructed in such a manner to
preserve the essential form and integrity of the structure. All
alterations and new construction shall be compatible with the size,
scale, architectural detail and character of the existing building. The
following requirements shall apply to all remodeling, renovation,
construction and reconstruction of any existing or proposed building
or structure:
(1) Height: The height of the proposed alteration or addition
shall not be twenty-five percent (25%) higher than the average
height of buildings or structures within a one hundred-foot
radius of the property.

not limited to material, color and texture shall be compatible
with the architectural style of the existing structure.
(g) Demolition and removal. It is the intent of this Chapter to
discourage, wherever possible, the partial or total demolition of any
historically significant building or structure. The committee shall
consider the following factors in determining whether to approve the
demolition of any building or structure:
(1) Whether or not the demolition or removal of such
structure would negatively impact an historic business zone
district.
(2) Whether any beneficial use can be conducted on the
property in its present or rehabilitated condition.
(3) Whether the property presently or in the future will yield a
reasonable economic return to its owner.
(4) Whether a licensed engineer or architect, experienced in
rehabilitation of structures, has found that the building or
structure is unsound and unsuitable for rehabilitation.
(h) The City Council may by resolution adopt guidelines to
implement the performance standard set forth in Subparagraph e.
above, provided, however, that if any provision of the guidelines

those facades of buildings which abut a street right-of-way or
parking facility. Other facades of the same buildings may fall under a
different set of performance standards.
(b) Purpose. The purpose of these performance standards is to
ensure a commercial streetscape that reflects and respects the
downtown architecture that is found in the Union Avenue Historic
District. The architecture of the buildings borrows from the same
scale, rhythm and materials of the older buildings without imitating
them. This zone district plays the role of both back door and front
door to the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo which makes it
necessary for the building designs to be succinct, easy to read,
inviting and a smooth architectural transition between the Victorian
architecture at street level and the more free-flowing architecture
facing the Riverwalk.
(c) Design objectives. Design objectives for the building facades
abutting a street right-of-way or parking lot are to:
(1) Complement the traditional architecture design of the Union
Avenue Historic District.
(2) Provide a smooth visual transition from the street level to the
river level.
(3) Provide an inviting physical entryway into the HARP.
(4) Take on the appearance and function of a specialty retail
cluster.
(5) Provide a continuity of storefronts located along the
sidewalk's edge that creates a pedestrian-oriented shopping
environment.

walls are encouraged to be located on the outermost parcel
boundaries.
(4) Each business located at street grade is required to have at
least one (1) direct access to a public walkway at street grade.
(5) The building facade abutting the street right-of-way or
parking facility shall have at least fifty percent (50%) of the street
level floor facade area (measured from the street level upward a
maximum of twelve \[12\] feet) devoted to display window and/or
windows affording views into the interior area.
(e) Exterior architectural design. Exterior architectural design
shall meet the following conditions:
(1) Each business adjoining a street right-of-way or parking
facility shall have an articulated or marked facade.

such as those seen on Union Avenue, including kickplates,
display windows, transom windows, recessed entries, sign
panels, parapet caps or cornices.
(3) The distinction between upper and lower floors shall be
maintained.
(4) The first floor is primarily transparent while upper floors are
more solid with smaller openings.
(5) With the exception of the row of windows directly below the
parapet, windows on upper stories shall have double-hung
windows that are taller than they are wide.
(6) The row of windows directly below the parapet may show a
different design or shape than the other exterior windows.
(7) Awnings are encouraged to provide depth to the facade and
to shade the storefront glass.
(8) Naturally ventilated parking on the ground level must be
recessed below finish grade by at least fifty percent (50%) of the
overall height of that story.
(f) Exterior building materials and exterior color. Exterior building
materials and exterior color shall meet the following conditions:

commercial historic color palette.
(g) Building roofs. Building roofs shall be flat, and mechanical
equipment on the roof should not be visible from the highest
roadway point of any bridge crossing the HARP.
(h) Illumination. All lighting or illumination on the exterior of the
building shall conform to Section 17-4-52 of this Chapter concerning
outdoor lighting performance standards.
(i) Signs. In addition to complying with Section 17-2-1 of this Title
and the Uniform Building Code, signs shall meet the following
conditions: signs shall comply with the Historic Business Zone
District standards for signs or approved by Planning and Zoning

(6) Variances: If these parking requirements do not appear
reasonable to a specific use or combination of uses, or because
of available parking in a public parking facility, the City Council
may grant by resolution a variance. The variance may reduce
some or all of the required number of parking spaces. In
determining a variance to the required number of spaces, the City
Council, in addition to other relevant factors, shall consider the
following:
a) The general planning of the City with respect to land use,
density, parking, traffic and parking facilities;
b) The availability of adequate parking, both in number of
spaces and distance from the intended use;
c) The public welfare and interest in the City and
surrounding area. The City Council shall determine the
number of parking spaces required for the development of
each lot.

dwelling units, shall not require an increase in the number of
existing off-street parking spaces.
c) Off-street parking for residences that are more than four-family in
size, and for all nonresidential uses installed after the effective date
of this Section shall be located in the rear half of the lot unless the
parking is completely enclosed within the main structure.
6. Alleys.
a) Backing into an alley from parking lots and off-street parking
spaces will be allowed, provided that the parking lots or spaces
serve single-family or two-family residences.
b) Any new construction, expansion of a use or building or
improvement, to either one (1) single-family or one (1) two-family
residence, shall not require the applicant to pave any or all of any
alley, but may require the applicant to surface the alley with an all-
weather, dust-proof material to the point where the alley meets the
nearest street.
c) Existing alleys may be vacated only for purposes consistent with
an adopted neighborhood plan and subject to requirements of
applicable law.
7. Guidelines. The City Council may adopt development design
guidelines for the RCN District by resolution for different types of uses,
structures or other matters to preserve the character of the
neighborhood while allowing flexibility in the design and building
process. If guidelines are so adopted, the Administrative Official shall
review all development for consistency with the intent of the guidelines.
If the Administrative Official determines the intent of the guidelines is
met, the Administrative Official may approve a building permit or
business license application provided that all other applicable
requirements of this Title have been met or complied with. A person
aggrieved by the decision of the Administrative Official may appeal such
decision to the Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to the provisions of
Section 17-5-22 of this Title. A building permit shall not be issued until

compliance with the requirements of this district (RCN) and the
\]
guidelines.

the majority of dwelling units.
e) Private outside open areas shall be contiguous to the dwelling
units they serve, be screened from public view and have a
minimum dimension of six (6) feet in any direction.
6. A separate area having a minimum of three hundred (300) cubic feet
of private and secure storage space shall be provided for each
residential unit.

size of the existing building and its relationship with adjoining
structures within the district.
e) Proportion: The proportion and relationship between doors and
windows proposed in the addition or alteration shall be compatible
with the architectural style and character of the existing structure.
New windows and doors shall be of similar size and shape and

to material, color and texture shall be compatible with the
architectural style of the existing structure.
6. Demolition and removal. It is the intent of this Chapter to discourage,
wherever possible, the partial or total demolition of any historically
significant building or structure. The committee shall consider the
following factors in determining whether to approve the demolition of
any building or structure:
a) Whether or not the demolition or removal of such structure would
negatively impact an historic business zone district.
b) Whether any beneficial use can be conducted on the property in
its present or rehabilitated condition.
c) Whether the property presently or in the future will yield a
reasonable economic return to its owner.
d) Whether a licensed engineer or architect, experienced in
rehabilitation of structures, has found that the building or structure
is unsound and unsuitable for rehabilitation.
f. The City Council may by resolution adopt guidelines to implement the
performance standard set forth in Subparagraph e. above, provided,
however, that if any provision of the guidelines conflicts with the provisions
of Section 17-4-51(12.1), the provisions of Section 17-4-51(12.1) shall

(12.2) Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo Zone District - One (HARP-1):
\[\]
a. Purpose. The purpose of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo Zone
District One (HARP-1) is to promote retail development that is pedestrian in
character, scale and ambiance and that encourages interesting and attractive

channel, and Union Avenue Historic District shall mean the portion of Union
Avenue designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic
Places.
\[
b. Uses by right.
0.1 Brewpub.
1. Office.
2. Residence - commercial, apartments or condominiums.
3. Retail store.
4. Restaurant.
c. Uses by review. A use by review is any of the following uses which are
permitted only upon issuance of a special use permit:

(except adult entertainment), provided that such permitted use does not
conflict with surrounding uses in the HARP 1, 2 and 3 and Historic
Business zone districts.
d. Review process.
1. No building permit shall be issued nor shall any work be undertaken
or commenced to construct, reconstruct, remodel, repair, paint,
rehabilitate or in any way alter or modify the exterior of any building in a
Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo Zone District until the Planning
and Zoning Commission, after proper notice has been given and a
public hearing has been held in the manner required for a zoning map
amendment, has reviewed, approved and issued a written certificate of
compliance for such work.
e. Performance standards - Building facades that abut a street right-of-way
or parking facility.
1. Area. The provisions of these performance standards apply to those
facades of buildings which abut a street right-of-way or parking facility.
Other facades of the same buildings may fall under a different set of
performance standards.
2. Purpose. The purpose of these performance standards is to ensure a
commercial streetscape that reflects and respects the downtown
architecture that is found in the Union Avenue Historic District. The
architecture of the buildings borrows from the same scale, rhythm and
materials of the older buildings without imitating them. This zone district
plays the role of both back door and front door to the Historic Arkansas
Riverwalk of Pueblo which makes it necessary for the building designs
to be succinct, easy to read, inviting and a smooth architectural
transition between the Victorian architecture at street level and the more
free-flowing architecture facing the Riverwalk.
3. Design objectives. Design objectives for the building facades abutting
a street right-of-way or parking lot are to:
a) Complement the traditional architecture design of the Union
Avenue Historic District.
b) Provide a smooth visual transition from the street level to the
river level.
c) Provide an inviting physical entryway into the HARP.
d) Take on the appearance and function of a specialty retail cluster.
e) Provide a continuity of storefronts located along the sidewalk's
edge that creates a pedestrian-oriented shopping environment.
4. Structure mass and orientation. Building orientation shall meet the
following conditions:
a) Maximum gross floor area is five (5) times the building footprint.
b) Maximum height is five (5) stories from the river level or seventy
(70) feet, whichever is less.
c) There are no setback requirements. The outside building walls
are encouraged to be located on the outermost parcel boundaries.
d) Each business located at street grade is required to have at least
one (1) direct access to a public walkway at street grade.
e) The building facade abutting the street right-of-way or parking
facility shall have at least fifty percent (50%) of the street level floor
facade area (measured from the street level upward a maximum of
twelve \[12\] feet) devoted to display window and/or windows
affording views into the interior area.
5. Exterior architectural design. Exterior architectural design shall meet
the following conditions:
a) Each business adjoining a street right-of-way or parking facility
shall have an articulated or marked facade.
b) Each facade shall incorporate traditional facade components
such as those seen on Union Avenue, including kickplates, display
windows, transom windows, recessed entries, sign panels, parapet
caps or cornices.
c) The distinction between upper and lower floors shall be
maintained.
d) The first floor is primarily transparent while upper floors are more
solid with smaller openings.
e) With the exception of the row of windows directly below the
parapet, windows on upper stories shall have double-hung windows
that are taller than they are wide.
f) The row of windows directly below the parapet may show a
different design or shape than the other exterior windows.
g) Awnings are encouraged to provide depth to the facade and to
shade the storefront glass.
h) Naturally ventilated parking on the ground level must be
recessed below finish grade by at least fifty percent (50%) of the
overall height of that story.
6. Exterior building materials and exterior color. Exterior building
materials and exterior color shall meet the following conditions:
a) Brick shall be the predominant building component. Brick color
shall be in red tones (within 1997 Summit 500 series or suitable
replacement).
b) Where used as the predominant building material, brick shall not
be painted.
c) Mortar shall be of a natural, color.
d) Building trim shall be of brick and stone masonry, finished
lumber, finished painted metal, ceramic tiles or concrete used as
lintels and columns.
e) Colors used for mullions and trim shall be from an accepted
commercial historic color palette.
7. Building roofs. Building roofs shall meet the following conditions:
Roofs shall be flat, and mechanical equipment on the roof should not be
visible from the highest roadway point of any bridge crossing the HARP.
8. Illumination. All lighting or illumination on the exterior of the building
shall conform to Section 17-4-52 of this Chapter concerning outdoor
lighting performance standards.
9. Signs. In addition to complying with Section 17-2-1 of this Title and
the Uniform Building Code, signs shall meet the following conditions:
signs shall comply with the Historic Business Zone District standards for
signs.
10. Parking. Due to the desire for downtown development, dual-use
opportunities and mass transit, the following off-street parking spaces
will be required of each use for properties not owned or controlled by
the City:
a) Residential units: one (1) parking space per unit.
b) Retail: one (1) parking space per five hundred (500) gross
square feet.
c) Office: one (1) parking space per five hundred (500) gross
square feet.
d) Restaurants: one (1) parking space for each five (5) persons of
rated occupancy load as established by the edition of the Uniform
International or Building Code adopted by City Council.
e) Parking requirements for other uses are listed in Section 17-4-43
f) Variances: If these parking requirements do not appear
reasonable to a specific use or combination of uses, or because of
available parking in a public parking facility, the City Council may
grant by resolution a variance. The variance may reduce some or
all of the required number of parking spaces. In determining a
variance to the required number of spaces, the City Council, in
addition to other relevant factors, shall consider the following:
