Gradisar VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FROM PUEBLO COUNTY A-4 TO CITY OF PUEBLO R-3-, ONE- AND TWO- FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE DISTRICT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10.74- ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF RED CREEK SPRINGS TH ROAD, NORTH OF REGENCY PARK, 10 FILING AND WEST OF THE MEADOWS, FILING 4 SUBDIVISION SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 10.74-acres of land, located south of Red Creek Springs Road, north of Regency Park, 10th Filing Subdivision, and west of the Meadows, Filing 4 Subdivision from Pueblo County A-4 to City R-3 following annexation. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Concurrent request A-22-06, Dorcy Community Housing Annexation. BACKGROUND: An annexation petition was filed by Posada, Inc. to annex 10.74-acres south of Red Creek Springs Road, north of Regency Park, 10th Filing, and west of The Meadows, Filing 4. Colorado Revised Statutes, 31-12-115, (2), requires the annexed land to be rezoned to a City zoning classification within 90 days of the Ordinance approving the annexation. The applicant is requesting to zone the property into a R-3 One and Two- Family Residential Zone District to facilitate the construction of residential duplex structures, which is a use by right in the R-3 Zone District. The preliminary Dorcy Community Housing Conceptual Site Plan indicates 31 duplex units, and a community building will be constructed on the site, which will likely require a Special Area Plan at the time of subdivision. Twenty-seven of the duplex units will be accessed from internal drives that will connect from the northern extension of Kingsroyal Boulevard. The proposed extension of Kingsroyal Boulevard, which is classified as a “collector” roadway is included in the preliminary site plan and must be dedicated at the time of subdivision as required by Section 12-4-7, (c), (1), of the Pueblo Municipal Code. Four additional duplex units will be accessed directly from the Ibis Lane western extension (extension required by Section 12-4-7, (b), of the Pueblo Municipal Code). The property is designated as Suburban “Residential in the “Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan, 2022.” According to the Comprehensive Plan, Suburban Neighborhoods are predominantly single-family detached and attached homes on similarly sized lots and future development accommodates a similar mix of lot sizes and housing types. The plan states that new neighborhoods should be designed with a mixture of housing types and pedestrian and bicycle connectivity should be provided within and between neighborhoods (Policy – 1.1.2.). Supporting land uses can include single-family attached homes, duplexes, and townhouses. The recommended density for Suburban Neighborhoods is two to five units per acre. The proposed net density of the Dorcy Community Housing project, which will include duplex development, provides a mixture of housing types as promoted by the Comprehensive Plan; however, the proposed net density is approximately 8.58 units per acre and exceeds the maximum recommended density of five units per acre. The Sunset Country Estates Mobile Home Park located to the west of the subject property has an approximate net density of 9.54 units per acre. The portion of Domega Homes, located directly north of Dorcy, has an approximate net density of 7.9 units per acre. The net density of the adjacent subdivisions to the east and south have a lower approximate net density with the Meadows, Filing 4, developed with 3.62 units per acre and Regency Park, 10th Filing, with 4.62 units per acre. Guiding Principal 1, of the 2022 Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan, states “rising housing costs and a constrained housing supply have made it increasingly difficult for many people to find housing that meets their needs, at a price they can afford” (p. 18). Goal 1.1 of the plan is to “expand housing options to meet the needs of existing and future residents of all ages, abilities, and income levels (p.19). The Comprehensive Plan also includes Policy 1.1.7, “Higher Density Housing,” which states high density residential development is to be encouraged in the downtown, urban neighborhoods, and along corridors. The proposed Dorcy multifamily low-income housing project is located adjacent to Red Creek Springs Road. Red Creek Springs Road is classified as a Principal Arterial Roadway and is currently constructed to a Mixed-Use Collector Roadway standard. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 12, 2023, Regular Meeting, voted 5-1 to recommend approval, Commissioner Martinez absent. 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.
