SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE
612 EAST 2ND STREET, LOTS 8 AND 9 BLOCK 20, MATTICES
SUBDIVISION, EAST PUEBLO HEIGHTS, FROM R-2, SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO RCN, RESIDENTIAL CHARTER NEIGHBORHOOD
SUMMARY:
nd
The City is requesting to rezone 612 East 2 Street, lots 8 and 9 block 20, Mattices
Subdivision, East Pueblo Heights, from R-2, Single Family Residential to RCN,
Residential Charter Neighborhood for future development.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo demolished a condemned residence located at 612 East 2nd in
2007. In 2012, the City acquired the property through a Treasurers Deed due to unpaid
taxes and liens. Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA) approached the Department
of Housing and Citizen Services to acquire the property to develop a single-family
attached residence on the parcel. The single family attached residence will include two
separate dwelling units on each lot (lots 8 and 9), the dwelling units will be attached by
a common wall but sold separately. The Residential Charter Neighborhood (RCN) Zone
District allows single-family attached residences as a use by right, the existing R-2,
Single Family Residential District allows a residence, two-family as a use by review,
requiring Zoning Board of Appeals approval. Because PURA would like to sell the
individual units, the RCN Zone District is a more appropriate zone district for the
preferred development. The intent of the RCN Zone District is to “maintain the character
of the City’s original neighborhoods, sometimes referred to as Charter Neighborhoods,
while meeting modern needs and standards. These developed neighborhoods have a
traditional neighborhood pattern with a diversity of affordable housing types on a variety
of lot sizes with small lots predominating.” Development within the 600 Block of East
2nd Street consists of primarily single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes. Presently,
there are three single-family residences that occupy 25 by 120- foot lots within the 600
Block of East 2nd Street with minimal side-yard setbacks. The construction of a single-
family attached house at 612 East 2nd is complimentary to the existing development.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their January 11, 2023 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.
