President of City Council ATTEST City Clerk City Clerk’s Office Item # R-9 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED ORDINANCE COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 9, 2021 TO: President Lawrence W. Atencio and Members of City Council CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF ALAN HAMEL AVENUE AND CENTRAL MAIN STREET FROM S-1, GOVERNMENT USE TO B-4, CENTRAL DISTRICT SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone the .95-acre project site located north of the intersection of Alan Hamel Avenue and Central Main Street (multiple subdivisions and lots, parcels 536146010, 536146011, 536147011, 536147012, and 536422004) from S-1, Government Use to B-4, Central Business District to facilitate future commercial mixed-use development. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The applicant is concurrently requesting to subdivide the .95-acre project site into two lots. BACKGROUND: The subject property currently overlaps into three separate subdivisions, Central Pueblo, Hobson’s, and Kretschmer’s Subdivisions, all of which were recorded in the 1880’s. The site has historically been developed with a mixture of government and residential uses. In 2011, the old City/County Health Department Building, located on the property, was demolished and cleared for redevelopment. Following demolition of the Health Department structure, an interim asphalt parking lot was constructed that is currently used as surface parking for adjacent businesses including Brue’s Ale House, the Clink, the Station, City Hall, and the Convention Center. The concurrently submitted subdivision application contains two lots that each comply with the minimum lot size of at least 5,000 square feet and have a minimum of a 50-foot lot width. Lot 1 is 26,657 SF, with a lot width of 165.75 feet. Lot 2 is 14,548 SF, with a lot width of 111.62 feet. A preliminary site plan has not been submitted for redevelopment; however, the applicant has indicated that redevelopment efforts will include multi-family residences. Mixed use development with commercial uses located on the ground floor and multi-family residential uses above the main floor is a use by right in the B-4, Central Business District. Multi-family residential development is a use by review in the B-4 District, requiring Special Use Permit review and approval prior to development. B-4, Central Business District zoning is an appropriate zone district for the site because of its central location within the city. Mixed-use and multifamily residential uses are also appropriate uses for the site, encouraging vibrancy within the core of the city. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: While there are no foreseeable negative financial implications for the City, if the property is redeveloped with a mixture of commercial and multi-family residential there will be a positive financial impact as a result of new sales tax, and TIFF revenues for the Downtown Urban Renewal Area. The TIFF revenues are slated to assist in funding improvements for the Pueblo Regional Tourism Act Project. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their June 9, 2021 Regular Meeting, voted 5-0 to recommend approval, Commissioner Avalos 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 property would not be zoned in accordance with the Pueblo Municipal Code. 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.
