SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING 330 SOUTH CITY PARK AVENUE,
CITY PARK BATH HOUSE, AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to designate 330 South City Park Avenue, the City Park
Bath House, as a local landmark.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Historic Preservation Commission applied to designate 330 South City Park
Avenue, City Park Bath House, as a local Historic Landmark, without the consent of the
landowner, the City of Pueblo as provided in PMC 4-14-8 (C). The applicant provided
documentation to demonstrate that the residence was constructed in 1938 and
associated with the Works Progress Administration, whose workman constructed the
building as part of a depression era initiative to provide work to unemployed people
while creating lasting public amenities. The applicant is seeking a local Historic
Landmark designation to protect the building from demolition and to begin a campaign
to restore it. The structure qualifies under landmark Criteria 1A, significant
events/people, for having direct association with the Works Progress Administration
who played a significant role in Depression era US, Colorado and Pueblo. The building
also qualifies for nomination under criteria 2A, architecture, as a good example of a
Parkitecture Architectural Style. The Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan identifies
the building within a , Parks and Open Space future land use designation. , The
landmarking and preservation of the building is not part of the goals of the
redevelopment plans for City Park. The redevelopment plan includes the replacement
of the bath house with a modern building that better supports the adjacent tennis and
recreational uses. A detailed review of the Comp Plan compliance is discussed in the
staff report, for case number HPC-24-07.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The designation would halt redevelopment of the site and may cost American Recovery
st
Act funds dedicated to this Project that need to be spent by December 31, 2025.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their August 21, 2024 Regular Meeting, voted
6-0 to recommend approval, Commissioner Perko absent.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 21, 2024, Regular Meeting,
voted 3-3 to recommend denial, Commissioner Spinuzzi absent.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The application was reviewed at a public hearing held by the Pueblo Historic
Preservation Commission held on August 21, 2024 and the application was also
reviewed by the City of Pueblo Planning and Zoning Commission at their August 21,
2024 meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, 330 South City Park Avenue, will not
be designated as a Local Historic Landmark.
Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Historic
Preservation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration
of proposed modifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
See the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
