SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE
.48-ACRES OF LAND AT 3002 SOUTH PRAIRIE AVENUE FROM R-2,
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE DISTRICT TO I-2, INDUSTRIAL
ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone .48-acres from R-2, Single Family Residential
Zone District to I-2, Industrial Zone District to allow the existing outdoor storage as a
use by right.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Roger Block, is requesting to rezone 3002 South Prairie Avenue from R-
2, Single Family Residential to I-2, Industrial District to allow the existing outdoor
storage to continue as a use by right. The Polk reverse directories do not have a record
of uses at this address. It appears that 3002 South Prairie was historically included with
3000 South Prairie, which was developed as a single-family residence in 1966 and is
listed as a residence in the Polk directories. Both 3000 and 3002 South Prairie were
annexed into the city in 1972, as possible non-conforming land uses. The surrounding
properties north, east, and south were subdivided in 1976 to facilitate development of
warehousing, light industrial and commercial uses, creating a light industrial and
business park. Those properties were originally zoned B-3 and the warehousing uses
have Special Use Permits. In 2022, the property to the immediate south was rezoned
from B-3, Highway and Arterial Business District to BP, Business Park, to facilitate the
development of a warehouse use. The land to the west is zoned I-2, Industrial, and
contains a mixture of industrial and service uses. The Pueblo Regional Comprehensive
Plan, future land use designation, for this property is Light Industrial. Since the site is
primarily surrounded by industrial uses and the Comprehensive Plan calls for industrial
zoning, the rezone request appears to be appropriate. Future development of structures
on the parcel will require subdivision, as the site is not currently subdivided. When any
new structures are added to the Property, site and structural improvements will be
required to be completed in accordance with the Industrial Zone District Building and
Site Design Standards for high visibility industrial areas. Staff recommends as a
condition of a rezoning approval that the applicant install a minimum, six-foot tall,
opaque fence along the entire frontage of the rezoning area, which is adjacent to Prairie
Avenue. The gate must also be constructed of the same opaque materials but can be a
minimum of five-foot in height. Chain link fencing with attachments is not an acceptable
opaque material.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 14, 2024 Regular Meeting, voted
7-0 to recommend approval.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Planning Department sent out Notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Public Hearing to all property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property.
A Public Notice poster was placed on the subject property 15 days prior to the Public
Hearing.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance the property will not be rezoned.
Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
