TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO USES BY REVIEW IN B -3 AND B -4 ZONE
DISTRICTS
ISSUE
Should the City Council amend Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code to
include veterinary hospital as a use by review in the Highway and Arterial Business
District (B -3) and the Regional Business District (B -4)?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their October 8, 2008 Regular Meeting, voted
6 -0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
Presently, a veterinary hospital is only allowed as a use by right in the Agricultural One
(A -1), Agricultural Two (A -2), Multiple - Residential and Commercial District (R -6), Light
Industrial (1 -2) and Heavy Industrial (1 -3) Zone Districts. It has come to the attention of
the Planning and Community Development Department that a great deal of existing
veterinarian hospitals currently reside as legal non - conforming uses in districts other
than those mentioned above. The Pueblo Small Animal Clinic, submitted a letter dated
June 10, 2008 requesting that zoning restrictions on veterinary hospitals be revisited
because of the limited access and land available in the aforementioned zone districts.
Additionally, many clinics specialize in domestic pet care, which lends itself to being
readily accessible to urban residential areas. Staff has reviewed the request and does
not foresee negative impacts stemming from allowing veterinary hospitals, by special
review, in the B -3 or B -4 Zone Districts as these districts are reserved for general
services which serve the public good.
