SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE
2001, 2005, 2009 OAKLAND AVENUE, LOTS 1 THROUGH 3 BLOCK 1,
CF&I CORPORATION SUBDIVISION, FROM R-2, SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL AND O-1, NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE TO R-5,
MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 2001, 2005, 2009 Oakland Avenue, Lots 1
through 3 Block 1, CF&I Corporation Subdivision, from R-2, Single Family Residential
and O-1, Neighborhood Office to R-5, Multiple Residential and Office Zone District, on
behalf of the Sisters of Charity Health Services
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Pueblo Community College is opening a new Nursing and Allied Health Teaching and
Learning Center at St. Mary Corwin Hospital. The property proposed to be rezoned will
be redeveloped as a surface parking lot for the nursing students to minimize adverse
impacts on existing parking facilities at the hospital. The project will involve demolition
of three single family homes, constructed in the 1940’s and currently owned by the
hospital. 2001 Oakland Avenue is zoned O-1, and previously operated as an
administrative office. 2005 and 2009 Oakland Avenue are currently zoned R-2 and
were used as residences. At the February 8, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission
hearing four residents of the homes adjacent to the property proposed to be rezoned
spoke in opposition to the rezoning request based on the impact of a parking lot to the
residential character of the neighborhood and additional traffic the parking lot could
generate on Oakland Avenue. Oakland Avenue is a one-way street extending south
from Minnequa Avenue to Indiana Avenue. The intent of the R-5 Zone District is to
provide “areas of high-density multifamily dwelling structures with limited comingling of
professional offices and studios”. 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.” The R-5 Zone District does allow for a wide variety
of complimentary uses to support multifamily, and office uses including hospitals and
parking lots which are all uses by right. As a new use in the R-5 Zone District, the
parking lot will need to be landscaped in accordance with Sec. 17-4-7 of the Pueblo
Municipal Code and meet all other development regulations. The Traffic Department
recommended the parking lot ingress/egress be located as far away from the
intersection of Oakland Avenue and Minnequa Avenue as possible. Access points and
landscaping will be reviewed at the time of commercial site plan review.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their February 8, 2023 Regular Meeting,
voted 4-3 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:
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.
