BACKGROUND
e Colorado Department of Local
urban scale development for the
Regional Development Plan?
The DOLA grant agreement was originally approved with a scope of work that was
modified based on the discussions between the City and County staff during the
development of the City and County Intergovernmental Agreement that established the
funding commitments from each agency. DOLA agreed to the modifications in the
scope of work for the project, but not before the term of the original grant had expired.
In order for the project to be completed, the City will need to enter into a new grant
agreement with the revised scope of work approved by the City, County and DOLA.
The project's principal issues include: adoption of an intergovernmental agreement
which will guide all urbanized growth within the North Pueblo Special Development
Area. The agreement will address the following:
Define and provide criteria for urbanized development within the North Pueblo
Special Development Area.
2. Develop a policy that Pueblo County will not approve development mutually
defined as urban, but refer it to the City of Pueblo or an existing urban service
provider.
3. Develop criteria and best practices for infrastructure extensions in future
urbanized areas.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Colorado Heritage Planning Grant is for $26,000 and includes local matching funds
of $27,029, for a total project budget of $53,029. The project funds were budgeted and
appropriated, as part of Ordinance No. 7593, approved May 27, 2007. The City's share

reserves. The Pueblo County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 08 -59 on
