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.
