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 CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1201 E. EVANS AVENUE FROM S-1, GOVERNMENTAL USE DISTRICT TO R-4, MIXED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone the property commonly known as 1201 E. Evans Avenue from S-1, Governmental Use District to R-4, Mixed Residential District. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: On December 31, 2013, the City of Pueblo sold the subject property, formerly known as Fire Station No. 4, to Cozzetta/Purcell Properties, LLC for their private non-governmental use. The S-1 zoning classification of the property is not consistent with the general plans of the City or the intent of the S-1 zone. Staff has determined that the R-4 zoning classification is the most appropriate classification in this case. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their October 14, 2015 Regular Meeting, voted 4-0 to recommend approval with Commissioners Latka, Lucas and Eslinger absent from the meeting. 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.
