PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The subject property is a corner lot abutting Amarillo Avenue and East 8th Street. There is an existing 2900 square foot building with two entrances, 13 striped parking spaces, and a drive-up window that once serviced the business uses in the building. The structure was originally constructed in 1964, and City directories indicate that the property operated as liquor store from the late 80s through 2014 under two different names, Dogpatch Liquors and One-Stop Liquor Store. The property was officially registered as vacant in 2022. The applicant has provided a letter of intent as well as a preliminary site plan demonstrating their intentions to repurpose the existing structure into a tri-plex, multifamily building. The 2022 Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates this area for Urban Neighborhoods, which are characterized by higher density residential uses from 6 to 16 units per acre, which the proposed multifamily use would meet. Approval of this rezoning would further the goals of the comprehensive plan by introducing a new, high- density housing unit and repurposing an unutilized existing structure. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their January 8, 2025, 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 zoned in accordance with the Pueblo Municipal Code. 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.
