TO: President Heather Graham and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar
VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk
FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE MEDAL OF HONOR SUBDIVISION
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to subdivide the recently annexed Pueblo County Detention
Center area, 69-9-acres, into one lot for development of the Pueblo County Detention
Center and two non-buildable parcels reserved for future subdivision and development.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved Ordinance 10453 on May 8, 2023 which approved the
annexation of 69.9-acres of unincorporated land commonly known as the Pueblo
County Detention Center Annexation to the City of Pueblo.
City Council Approved Ordinance 10494 on June 26, 2023 rezoning the recently
annexed 69.9-acre Pueblo County Detention Center property from a Pueblo County A-1
to a City of Pueblo S-1, Government Use Zone District (25.47 acres), and from a
Pueblo County A-1 and R-6 to a City Of Pueblo A-1, Agricultural One Zone District
(44.44 acres).
BACKGROUND:
The subject property was annexed into the City in May 2023, to facilitate development
of the new Pueblo County Detention Center. The property is located west of the
intersection of West 24th Street and Pueblo Boulevard (SH45). The subdivision
establishes Lot 1, 25.467-acres, south of the proposed Medal of Honor Boulevard, and
west of the proposed local street right-of-way, Justice Road. The new Pueblo County
Detention Center will be constructed on Lot 1. The subdivision also includes two
additional non-buildable parcels, Parcel A (20.719-acres) and Parcel B (15.047-acres)
that are reserved for future re-subdivision and development. Parcel A will contain a
drainage easement and Parcel B will contain a Lift Station Easement. The Medal of
Honor Subdivision creates the 150-foot-wide Medal of Honor right-of-way, which will
intersect with Pueblo Boulevard, directly west of the 24th Street and will extend west
through the subdivision conforming with the Pueblo Area Council of Governments
(PACOG) Long Range Transportation plan for the principal arterial extension into
Pueblo West. An access permit will need to be secured from Colorado Department of
Transportation by Pueblo County for the Medal of Honor connection to Pueblo
Boulevard (SH 45). Water and wastewater service lines will be installed within the right-
of-way of Medal of Honor Boulevard providing service to the County Detention Center
and will serve Parcel A and Parcel B upon re-subdivision and future development. The
subdivision also includes a 60-foot-wide local roadway, Justice Road, that extends
south from the proposed Medal of Honor Boulevard directly adjacent to the eastern
property line of the proposed Lot 1. Justice Road will provide ingress/egress to a future
City owned and maintained parking lot serving the Honor Farm Park and Open Space
property and will provide access point(s) to the future re-subdivided Parcel B. Future re-
subdivision of Parcel A will require Justice Road to be platted and extended north
through Parcel A as shown in the PACOG Long Range Transportation Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their June 14, 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.
ALTERNATIVES:

will impede development of the site.
Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
