BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE
PORTIONS OF PARCEL 522300002 FROM B-3, HIGHWAY AND ARTERIAL
BUSINESS, R-3, ONE AND TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND R-4, MIXED
RESIDENTIAL TO R-6, MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the southern 26.86-acres of parcel 522300002 from B-3, R-
3, and R-4 to R-6 to facilitate the development of a recreational vehicle park.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Portions of parcel 5522300002 are being rezoned to an R-6 zone district to allow the development
of a Recreational Vehicle Park containing approximately 26.86 acres, as well as other uses by
right. A recreational vehicle park is a use by review in a R-6 zone district and will require the
approval of a special use permit by the Zoning Board of Appeals prior to a recreational vehicle
th
park beginning operations. The property has more than hundred feet of frontage on 24 Street
and complies with the minimum lot area and width for the R-6 zone district. The property is
designated in the Pueblo Comprehensive Plan as “Urban Residential.” According to the Pueblo
Municipal Code Section 15-4-51(a)(9), the R-6 zone district is designed to retain and provide
areas of mixed residence and commercial uses. While much of the urban residential designation
is aimed at small-scale single-family development the Comprehensive Plan does mention that
“Community-scale commercial zoning will be appropriate at intersections of two collector roads
or of a collector and an arterial road”.
The property is a large parcel containing unplatted land as well as vacated rights-of-way and
derelict lots from the Saunders Subdivision. The land is characterized mainly by open desert scrub
situated east of Pueblo Boulevard and south of 24th Street. The property was annexed into the
City in 1973 as part of the Arkansas River Annexation. Upon annexation of the property by the
City, the currently undeveloped Saunders Subdivision platted in the County, was included within
city limits. Rights-of-way including 22nd Street were vacated by Ordinance in 1957 but the lots
remained.
The access, utilities, and development standards will be addressed during the recreational vehicle
park special use permit review at the Zoning Board of Appeals. Recreational Vehicle Parks are
strictly regulated by Pueblo Municipal Code, Sec 17-4-51(d)(9), (b) a detailed staff review will
occur during the subdivision review process to accommodate all development considerations.
The R-6 zone district allows a wide range of housing, restaurant, retail, and office uses by right
which are compatible with a large parcel that fronts a very busy state highway and future major
intersection to the north. There is ample space for various types of development with room for
buffering the residential uses to the east and south. The rezoning accommodates the prior zone
district uses while allowing flexibility to private owners going forward as the West Side
neighborhood grows and expands.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their March 9, 2022 Regular Meeting, voted 7-0 to
recommend approval.
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 will 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.
