SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 14.1-acres from R-2, Single Family Residential
Zone District and S-1, Governmental Use Zone District to R-4, Mixed-Residential Zone
District to facilitate the development of a new apartment complex.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The current request is to rezone the 14.1-acre property from S-1 and R-2 to R-4 Mixed
Residential District to support the conduction of a new apartment complex. The site is in
the Eastwood Heights Neighborhood directly west of Eva Baca Elementary School on
Oakshire Lane. The purpose of the R-4 Zone District is “designed to retain and provide
areas with comingling or single-family dwelling units and limited multifamily dwelling unit
structures.” The applicant’s intended use is categorized as “Residence, multifamily” and
is a Use By Right in the proposed R-4 Zone District. The area is designated as Urban
Neighborhood Future Land Use Category, which allows for small scale multifamily
dwellings and densities of 6-16 units per acre. The proposed density will be 10 units per
acre. The site is well situated for direct access to Oakshire Lane and connections to Troy
Avenue and nearby highways while directing traffic west, away from the established
Eastwood Heights neighborhood. The applicant has provided a conceptual site plan
detailing a 132-unit apartment complex with 10 buildings, including a club house, pool,
and playground. The applicant will be providing 269 parking spaces (30 in a garage) or 2
spaces per unit, which is more than the required 1.5 parking spaces per unit. The site
plan shows two types of housing structures located on the property with a mix of one- and
two-story buildings. The development will require a subdivision and at that time, City
departments will review the proposed plat and later the commercial site plan for
thth
conformance with all applicable regulations. The termination of 14 through 17 streets
along the eastern boundary of the proposed rezoning site will be addressed in the
subdivision process. The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Pueblo Regional
Comprehensive Plan and is in conformance with the existing pattern of development in
the immediate area.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 10, 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:

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.
