SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE 200
VISION LANE, LOT 4, BLOCK 1 TRINITY SUBDIVISION, FROM B-3, HIGHWAY
AND ARTERIAL BUSINESS ZONE DISTRICT TO I-2, INDUSTRIAL ZONE
DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 200 Vision Lane, Lot 4, Block 1, Trinity Subdivision, from B-
3, Highway and Arterial Business Zone District to I-2, Industrial Zone District to facilitate a salvage
yard use.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is seeking to rezone approximately 30,487 square feet at 200 Vision Lane to
institute a salvage yard business. The rezoning site is located in the eastern portion of the City
approximately one half-mile west of the Highway 47 and 50 Bypass interchange. The area was
annexed into the City and subdivided in 1981. The property is currently undeveloped and zoned
B-3, Highway and Arterial Business District. The Pueblo Comprehensive Plan designation of the
property is Arterial Commercial Mixed Use and adjacent designations include Employment
Center, Light Industry Mixed Use to the west and Urban Residential to the east. Despite the
Comprehensive Plan designation, which focuses on retail and service enterprises, existing
development along Vision Lane is primarily industrial consisting of salvage yards along the east
side of Vision Lane and aggregate suppliers along the west side of Vision Lane in unincorporated
Pueblo County. The Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) count is 7,700 on East 4th Street just
th
to the west of Vision Lane, and the AADT is 7,000 on East 4 Street to the east of Vision Lane.
This data indicates that most of the traffic is through traffic. The adjacent parcel immediately to
the north of the rezoning site will remain undeveloped and zoned B-3. A Special Use Permit is
required for the proposed salvage yard use within an I-2, Industrial Zone District. The applicant
has applied for a Special Use Permit to the Zoning Board of Appeals to allow for a salvage yard
at 200 Vision Lane. The Special Use Permit request is scheduled to be heard on September 27,
2021. Planning Staff is recommending that an approval of the Special Use Permit be conditioned
on the successful rezoning of Lot 4, Block 1, Trinity Subdivision to an I-2 Zone District. The
applicant is also the owner and operator of Tom’s Auto Salvage located north of the rezoning site
at 300 Vision Lane. Tom’s Auto Salvage received a Special Use Permit in 2017. Tom’s Auto
Salvage expanded south, to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Trinity Subdivision in 2018, which required the
applicant to rezone the two lots from B-3 to I-2 and receive another Special Use Permit for a
salvage yard use. The proposed rezoning to I-2 will facilitate another expansion of Tom’s Auto
Salvage; however, the proposed expansion is disconnected from the established business by Lot
3, Block 1, Trinity Subdivision, which remains unimproved and zoned B-3.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their September 8, 2021 Regular Meeting, voted 6-0 to
recommend approval, Commissioner Pasternak 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.
