SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE XII, CHAPTER 4, SECTION 5(C)(1) OF THE
PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE REARRANGEMENT OF
PROPERTY BOUNDARIES TO ESTABLISH BUILDING SITES
SUMMARY:
The proposed Ordinance modifies the criteria for the rearrangement of property boundaries.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance 3512 approved January 10, 1972 inserted the language in to the Pueblo Municipal
Code. Ordinance 7286 approved August 11, 2005 modified the language as it reads today.
BACKGROUND:
The modifications set forth in this text amendment seek to provide more opportunities to use the
process associated with the rearrangement of property boundaries in lieu of a subdivision when
specific and limited criteria can be met. The process for a rearrangement of property boundaries
is administrative, cannot create additional lots and requires public improvements are in place.
The text amendment allows for increased flexibility for land developers and a reduced cost.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
No financial impacts with the approval of this Ordinance.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Text amendment has been presented to Planning and Zoning Commission for review and
comment. Comments have been favorable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Text amendment has been presented to local Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Architects, and Title
Companies for review and comment. Comments have been favorable.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of Ordinance would continue the use of the Rearrangement of Property Boundaries as
currently used; decreases flexibility for land developers, increases development costs and
increases staff review hours.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval.
