The project's principal issues include: the location of areas suitable for urban development, especially north of the City of Pueblo; adoption of a common development code for the urban service area; policies for infrastructure extensions (primarily sewer and water) into these areas; revised extraterritorial water service boundaries; acceptance of a common roadway classification system within the urbanizing area; and service areas and annexation boundaries between the City of Pueblo and the Pueblo West Metropolitan District. The project is an extension of the former City/County Common Development Code Project and includes implementation of the Common Development Code within the urban service areas. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Colorado Heritage Planning Grant is for $26,000 and is contingent upon a local match of $27,029, for a total project budget of $53,029. The City's share of the project will be $15,057, which shall be transferred from the General Fund reserves. The Pueblo County Commissioners agreed to a commitment of $11,972 for the present project at their Work Session April 19, 2007.
