TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO OFF - STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
ISSUE
Should the City Council amend Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
relating to off - street parking requirements?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their regular meeting on December 14, 2005,
voted 5 -0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
Currently the off - street parking requirements offer a one -time exemption for the regulations
in Section 17 -4 -43 for a building which is increased by no more than 150 square feet for the
sole purpose of adding restroom facilities. The proposed ordinance revises Section 17-4-
43 by allowing the addition of either an elevator or restroom facilities which increases the
square footage of the building by not more than 200 square feet to receive a one -time
exemption from the off - street parking requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
