SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE REZONING 1.52-ACRES OF LAND ALONG STATE
HIGHWAY 96 AND WEST OF VICTORY LANE FROM B-3, HIGHWAY
ARTERIAL BUSINESS ZONE DISTRICT TO S-1, GOVERNMENT USE
ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The City is requesting to rezone 1.52-acres of land along State Highway 96, and west of
Victory Lane to S-1, Government Use Zone District. The purpose of the rezoning is to
facilitate the construction of a replacement Fire Station 6. The City is concurrently
requesting to vacate a 20-foot public utility easement.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The rezoning site was zoned B-3, Highway Arterial Business District, and subdivided in
1981 to facilitate commercial development along State Highway 96, within the City’s East
Side Neighborhood. Two lots within the subdivision have been developed along Hwy 96,
Cedar Ridge Landscape and Trinity Life Center Church; all other lots remain unimproved.
Pueblo Fire Department, Deputy Chief of Operations, Chris Harner, stated that the 111
Victory Lane property was chosen for the replacement Fire Station 6 based on improved
fire response time for the surrounding community and the property size is large enough
to accommodate a modern fire facility. The proposed Fire Station 6 will replace the current
Fire Station 6, which is located at 1325 E. 4th Street. The current fire station is undersized
and has deteriorated creating an unhealthy work environment.
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:
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.
