ISSUE
Shall the City Council enter into a contract with Department of Local Affair to assist in the
funding of a Common Development Code for the City and the County of Pueblo
Adoption of Ordinance
TCd:(r].T0lIL`1 ki
In the fall of 2001 Pueblo County made application for funding assistance to the Department
of Local Affairs Office of Smart Growth to assist in the drafting and adoption of a Common
Development Code for the City and the County of Pueblo. The idea for this code is found
within the recently adopted Pueblo Comprehensive Development Plan.
The drafting and adoption of the Common Development Code is a four step process. The
first step includes the diagnostic review, GAP analysis, opportunity identification and report
and presentation. The diagnostic review and GAP analysis are part of the internal review,
which identifies and assesses internal procedures and the unique land use and land
development issues individually facing the City and the County. The opportunity
identification is part of the external analysis, which identifies City and County land uses, and
land use development situations for which the City and County may choose to develop
common regulations and where unique regulations may be developed.
The diagnostic review includes three substeps. The first will be interviews with stakeholders
in the land use and development process, including land developers, elected officials, staff,
and individuals from the community at large. The purpose of these interviews is to identify
the community expectations for the land use and land development process. This will be
followed by a review of the land use and land development policies found within the recently
adopted Regional Comprehensive Development Plan, and the third is a review of the City
and the County land use and land development procedures and regulations, including legal
statutory limitations, etc.
The second, a GAP analysis for the City and the County, will compare the stakeholder's
expectation, the land use and land development policies found within the Comprehensive
Plan, and the existing land use and land development procedures and regulations for the
City and the County. GAPs are defined as variances between the stakeholder's
expectations, the land use policies found within the Comprehensive Plan, and the
procedures, land use and land development regulations that the City and the County are
currently utilizing to implement the Plan.
The third is the identification of opportunities. The opportunities arise from the diagnostic
review and the GAP analysis for both the City and the County. This review will identify: (1)
what are common needs of both the City and the County, and where common procedures
and /or regulations may be beneficial, and (2) what are the unique land use or land
development requirements, and where a unique and compatible procedure or regulation
would be most beneficial.
The second step is the establishment of concurrence. Staff will review and determine those
opportunities where the City and County can gain the most value through a shared common
development code and those situations where the community will be best served with unique
but compatible City and County codes. The City and County staff will then concur through
the prioritization and allocation of resource for the drafting of regulations. This concurrence
will identify the most important common needs of the City and the County and what are the
most important unique needs of each. The highest priority needs, based upon the
proportional share of contribution by the City and County of the available budget, will be
selected for drafting.
The third step will be the drafting of the procedures and regulations. This component will be
a joint effort of the consultant team, staff, the development community, and the citizens at
large. It will result in drafting and acceptance of procedures and regulations by the
stakeholder groups in a form to be presented to the elected officials.
Step four is the adoption process. The City and County each have different processes for
adoption. This step involves the placing of the regulations in the appropriate City and
County formats and guiding the regulations through the appropriate adoption process. This
may include minor revisions as additional issues are discovered through the hearing
process.
