FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE BELMONT PLACE SUBDIVISION,
FILING NO. 1
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to subdivide 114-acres into six (6) commercial lots in two (2)
blocks and create four (4) parcels reserved for future development. The proposed
subdivision covers the area currently included within the Belmont Place Planned Unit
Development.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The applicant is concurrently requesting to rezone (Z-23-12) the current 114-acre
Belmont Place, Planned Unit Development to a combination of three zone districts to
allow for commercial, commercial mixed use, and residential development.
BACKGROUND:
The subject site is currently unimproved and is located east of Troy Avenue and south
of the Hwy 50 Bypass. The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into six lots
measuring from 81,000 sq. ft. to 200,000 sq. ft. for commercial development. The
remaining ninety-one (91) acres will be divided into four non-buildable parcels (A-D)
and ten acres (10) of right of way. The development site is characterized by scrub
prairie and is generally flat in the northwest portion of the site. The eastern and
southern portion of the development site is marked by deep arroyos requiring
development to occur in multiple phases, to fund the necessary infrastructure to
develop the site with the challenging topography. The purpose of Parcels A, B, C, and
D is to allow development to occur in phases. Each parcel must be re-subdivided for
the planned development prior to building permit approvals. The area was annexed into
the City in 1972 and is identified as an Urban Neighborhood by the 2022 Pueblo
Comprehensive Plan. In 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
University Village South Master Development Plan (MP-02-3) that included this
property, the site was zoned PUD in 2006, the Belmont Place PUD currently serves as
the master plan for development. The PUD guide was amended in 2021 (Ord. 9973)
and included an updated Land Use Summary with commercial, multifamily, and single
family uses. The applicant has a concurrent rezoning application for the property, Z-23-
12, to use traditional zone districts that closely match the land use approved in the
original PUD. In 2002 two sanitary sewer easements were dedicated to the City of
Pueblo by Separate Instrument to hold a future sewer line inside of what is now the
proposed Parcel B in the proposed Belmont Place, Filing No. 1 Subdivision. The
sanitary sewer line was later constructed outside of the dedicated easements. The
current proposed plat will create a twenty-foot sanitary sewer and maintenance road
easement inside Parcel B in the center of the property. The proposed platted, sanitary
sewer easement reflects the current location of the sanitary sewer line and stretches
from the center of the eastern property boundary southwest to Nottingham Drive where
it follows the street right of way to the south. The other two older easements that do not
cover the sanitary sewer line will be released in the f
transportation network will be extended as part of this subdivision. The right-of-way will
be platted for Nottingham Drive to continue south, and it will have a temporary dead-
end cul-de-sac until filing two is submitted. The design for the cul-de-sac will be
handled in Part Two Submittal of the subdivision submittal with the Public Works
Department. Right-of-way for an easterly extension of Constitution Road and a small
connection with Cicada Drive in the south portion of the property are also being platted.
A traffic study will be required before Part II of the Subdivision will be approved. Staff
noted that future filings and re-subdivisions of the parcels, slated for future development
may involve additional right-of-way for the roundabouts or arroyos crossing depending
on use, intensity, and future engineering.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their February 14, 2024 Regular Meeting,
voted 5-0 to recommend approval once conditions 1-9 are met, Commissioners
Martinez and Spinuzzi absent.
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.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the site will not be resubdivided which
will impede development of the site.
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.
