City Clerk’s Office Item # R-9
BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
May 28, 2019
TO: President Dennis E. Flores and Members of City Council
CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Steven Meier, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE XI AND TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ASSOCIATED RETAIL MARIJUANA RULES
AND REGULATIONS, RELATING TO REQUIRED PERMITS AND
ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MARIJUANA LICENSES
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a text amendment that will amend Title XI and Title XVII of
the Pueblo Municipal Code, and associated Retail Marijuana Rules and Regulations,
relating to required permits and architectural requirements for Marijuana Licenses.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the medical marijuana licensing code requires that each license applicant
obtain a Limited Use Permit (“LUP”) from the City prior to applying for a license. A LUP
for a medical marijuana license is not reissued annually and is currently treated different
from other marijuana licenses. There are currently three medical marijuana licenses that
are issued subject to a LUP. These licenses would be allowed to continue to operate with
a LUP. Any new medical marijuana licenses would be subject to being issued a CUP. The
Zoning Code requires that medical marijuana optional premises cultivations and product
manufacturing facilities obtain a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) instead of a LUP. A CUP
requires a more intensive review and places greater requirements on the applicant. To
correct the conflicting requirements of the licensing and Zoning Codes, the proposed
Ordinance will amend the pertinent sections to require a CUP for each type of medical
marijuana license. A LUP will no longer be required for any type of medical marijuana
license, unless grandfathered in.
Another issue this text amendment will correct is the current architectural requirements
for marijuana CUPs that sometimes conflict with the zone district and the size of the
building, and many times are not appropriate for the type of use proposed. The
amendments will correct the discrepancy and make the architectural requirements more
appropriate for the zone district the business is located within.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
A Conditional Use Permit from the City costs five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their May 8, 2019 Regular Meeting, voted 7-0
to recommend approval of the Text Amendment.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Planning Department sent out Notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission Public
Hearing by publication of the proposed amendment fifteen (15) days prior to the Public
Hearing.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, Title XI and Title XVII of the Pueblo
Municipal Code, and associated Retail Marijuana Rules and Regulations, will not be
amended, and the requirements for Marijuana Licenses will still conflict and create issues
for applicants and City personnel.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.

use permit, summarily deny the application, stating the deficiencies, and indicate
that the applicant has a right to appeal the determination of the administrative
