PACHECO, DIRECTOR TITLE AN ORDINANCE CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FROM A -2, AGRICULTURAL TWO DISTRICT, TO R -1, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT COVERING A PARCEL OF LAND COMMONLY KNOWN AS 3110 WEST 10 STREET ISSUE Shall City Council approve a request to rezone the property from A -2, Agricultural Two, to R -1, Single Family Residential, to facilitate development on his property that would otherwise not be permissible? RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their October 8, 2008 Regular Meeting, voted 6 -0 to recommend approval. BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a zone change in order to facilitate development on his property that would otherwise not be permissible. The property in question was annexed into the City in 1973 and because the City and County had similar zoning classifications it is assumed that the A -2 County Zoning was not changed upon annexation. This created a situation in which the parcel became a nonconforming lot of record because it does not meet the minimum five -acre area requirement for the A -2 Zone District. Development is allowed on a nonconforming lot of record, however, yard dimensions and requirements other than those applying to the area of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district. The principal use of the property is residential and the applicant wishes to construct an addition to his home. However, the proposed addition will not meet the minimum 15 foot Side Yard Setback requirement of the A -2 Zone District. Rather than file for a variance, staff recommended that the applicant apply for a zoning map amendment to rezone the property to a district that would allow the proposed development and more accurately reflect the provisions of the Pueblo Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the applicant has requested that his parcel be rezoned to an R -1, Single - Family Residential District, which will allow the proposed development. FINANCIAL IMPACT None.
