PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On October 28, 2024 City Council approved a Resolution No. 15803 preliminarily determining that the petition for annexation of the area commonly known as the Pueblo Recreation Resort Filing No. 1 Annexation is valid under the provisions of Colorado Revised Statutes Section 31-12-107(1). BACKGROUND: The Pueblo Recreation Resort Filing No. 1 Annexation is located north of State Highway 78, southwest of Ventana Subdivision, Filing No. 1, and east of the Southside Landfill. The Petitioners are requesting to annex 79.80-acres into the City for a potential mixture of land uses that complies with the future land use designations within the Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2022, as amended. The property is currently identified within the Suburban Residential future land categories in the 2022 Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan Future Land Map. The applicant is proposing to initially zone the property as A-1, Agricultural One, as an interim zoning classification until the time of development. The A-1, interim zoning following annexation, is allowed by section 17-1-3, (e), of the Pueblo Municipal Code. According to the code, the annexation agreement may allow an A-1, Zone District for a specified period of time. No building or occupancy permit shall be approved by the City or issued by the Pueblo Regional Building Department for any building or structure within the 79.80-acres until after the Property is zoned in the land use classification most nearly corresponding to comprehensive plan, and the property is subdivided in accordance with Title XII, Chapter 4 of the Pueblo Municipal Code of Ordinances or as same may hereby be amended. The proposed annexation site is currently zoned Pueblo County A-4, Agricultural Zone District. The property located north, south, and east of the proposed annexation area is currently undeveloped, and the property to the west is developed with the Southside Landfill. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Petitioner acknowledges and agrees that upon the annexation, the property shall become subject to the Charter, Ordinances, Resolutions, rules, and regulations of the City, but that the City shall have no obligation to furnish or extend municipal services, including but not limited to sanitary sewer services, to the area proposed to be annexed. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The City Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the annexation at the December 11, 2024, Regular Meeting. A motion to approve the proposed annexation was made by Commissioner Bailey and seconded by Commissioner Spinuzzi to recommend approval of the proposed annexation petition. Motion passed 5-0, Commissioners Pasternak and Maestri absent. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Annexation Impact Reports have been filed with taxing entities as required by Colorado Revised Statutes. ALTERNATIVES: Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications. City Council could vote to not approve the annexation Ordinance. The applicant could resubmit an annexation petition in the future subject to the applicable provisions of the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 and C.R.S. §31-12-104, 105 and 107(1).
