PACHECO, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TITLE AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE NORTH SIDE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT ISSUE Shall City Council designate the North Side as a local Pueblo Historic District, pursuant to the Historic Preservation Code, Title IV, Chapter 14 of the Pueblo Municipal Code. Adoption of Ordinance, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting November 28, 2007 and the Historic Preservation Commission at their regular meeting October 25, 2007. BACKGROUND The North Side Historic District has been recommended for designation as a local Pueblo Historic District because it developed independently from the Steel Mill, which was the main employer during the early history of Pueblo. The neighborhood is also significant because it contains many homes that represent a broad spectrum of architectural styles from 1890 to 1950. Pueblo's North Side neighborhood was one of the first planned, stable, residential areas laid out with particular attention to attributes of a planned community with graded streets, tree lined avenues, modern infrastructure, and the first model homes. Unlike other sections of the city, the neighborhood has persevered and retained a high degree of historic fabric and integrity, which clearly represents the historic development of the neighborhood and city. No person's property is being designated over their objections. Staff has not received objections from any homeowner within the proposed boundary. Findings of staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Planning and Zoning Commission are attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial impact.
