President of City Council ATTEST City Clerk City Clerk’s Office Item # R-7 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED ORDINANCE COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 11, 2022 TO: President Heather Graham 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 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.
