BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 13, 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 2314
SOUTH PRAIRIE AVENUE FROM R-2, SINGLE FAMILY TO BP, BUSINESS
PARK
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the 2.844-acre parcel located at 2314 S. Prairie Avenue
(unsubdivided) from R-2, Single Family Residential to BP-Business Park to facilitate development
of “rental spaces” consisting of six structures with floor areas between 3,000 and 4,800 square
feet.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property was annexed into the city in 1972 (Ordinance 3646) and was zoned R-2,
Single Family Residential upon annexation. The site is adjacent to Prairie Avenue, which is
classified as a principal arterial street, reserved for “fast or heavy traffic” (Pueblo Municipal Code
§ 12-4-3, (9), b.). Single family residential development is generally not an appropriate use
adjacent to a heavy traffic street. Properties located adjacent to this property, consist of personal
storage, single-family residential, religious, and building supply retail. The proposed Business
Park Zone District allows for retail, office, and warehouse uses, which are more appropriate along
a principal arterial street. The applicant’s preliminary site plan shows six structures, three situated
adjacent to the north property line and three situated adjacent to the southern property line. The
eastern portion of the site will be reserved for fenced outdoor storage. The BP Zone District allows
for commercial storage uses; however, it requires that all structures be constructed 100 feet from
a residential zone district. The applicant may choose to revise the site plan to meet the district
requirements or request a variance since the property to the south is zoned for single-family but
is used as a church. The applicant is concurrently requesting to subdivide the property into a one
lot subdivision to facilitate development of “rental spaces”.
The proposed 123,968 square foot lot size and the 198-foot lot width meet the minimum size and
width for a lot within a BP Zone District. The property is designated in the Pueblo Regional
Comprehensive Plan (“Plan”) as Arterial Commercial Mixed Use, which calls for retail sales,
personal services and some office space intermixed. The Plan notes that compatible land uses
other than heavy industrial uses are not prohibited. The proposed development will provide large
storage options for lease, which is not incompatible with the building supply enterprise to the west,
storage uses to the north. Proper buffers and screening will be required along the east and south
property lines adjacent to the church and single-family homes. No heavy industrial uses will be
allowed. The applicant will be required to comply with the BP Zone District Performance
Standards (Sec. 17-4-5) to reduce impacts of development on the surrounding neighborhoods.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their April 14, 2021 Regular Meeting, voted 6-0 to
recommend approval, Commissioner San Filippo-Rosser 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.
