Home My WebLink About10952 City Clerk's Office Item # S5 Background Paper for Proposed Ordinance COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 12, 2025 TO: President Mark Aliff and Members of City Council CC: Mayor Heather Graham VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE CHANGING THE STREET NAME OF CEDARWEED BOULEVARD TO BLACKHAWK DRIVE SUMMARY: The City is requesting to change the name of Cedarweed Boulevard to Blackhawk Drive. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The City is requesting this Street Name Change, as well as case SNC-25-01, in the North Vista Highlands PUD area to correct platted street names that are no longer appropriate before any residential development occurs and properties are addressed on these streets. Staff has concerns with future addressing on the subject street because addressing on the existing Cederweed Boulevard increases from north to south, which is inconsistent with the nearby neighborhood, where address numbers increase from south to north. Though the City typically would not change the name of a portion of a continuous street, GIS and Public Works staff believe that changing the street name at the Carl Sitter Parkway intersection, thus correcting this addressing issue, is the best option to minimize confusion. The proposed Blackhawk Drive extends south from Home of Heroes Parkway between the North Vista Highlands Filing 5 and Filing 1 areas and would change to Cedarweed Boulevard at the intersection of Carl Sitter Parkway. No properties are currently addressed on this portion of the street, so staff anticipates no issues with the proposal. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their April 9th, 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 current street name would remain. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

EXISTING ZONE: Not Applicable CONCURRENT CASES: SNC-25-01 Applicable Regulations: Sec. 12-5-1 through 6 of the Pueblo Municipal Code (PMC) concerning vacations of streets, alleys, etc. Request and Staff Findings: The city is requesting this Street Name Change, as well as case SNC-25-01, in the North Vista Highlands PUD area to correct platted street names that are no longer appropriate before any residential development occurs and properties are addressed off of these streets. Staff has concerns with future addressing on the subject street (see attached memo) because addressing on the existing Cederweed Blvd increases from north to south, which is inconsistent with the nearby neighborhood, where address numbers increase from south to north. Though the City typically would not change the name of a portion of a continuous street, GIS and Public Works staff believe that changing the street name at the Carl Sitter Pkwy intersection, thus correcting this addressing issue, is the best option to minimize confusion. The proposed Blackhawk Dr. extends south from Home of Heroes Pkwy between the North Vista Highlands Filing 5 and Filing 1 areas and would change to Cedarweed Blvd at the intersection of Carl Sitter Pkwy.No properties are currently addressed on this portion of the street, so staff anticipates no issues with the proposal. Recommended Action: If the Planning and Zoning Commission finds the proposed Street Name Change is appropriate, a recommendation to change the street name should be forwarded to City Council.

Debi Romines 200 S Main St, Pueblo CO 81003 citymaps@pueblo.us | 719-553-2550 To: MikaylinHackley From: Debi Romines Date:04/01/2025 Subject:Comments on Renamingof Cedarweed Blvd at Carl Sitter Pkwy Good Afternoon, Cedarweed Blvd’s existing flow of addressing goes South, and it needs to go Northper the City of Pueblo’s addressing grid. To correct this situation, the best option is to change the name of the street and then fix the addressing so that they go northin line with the gridand all other streets around it. It is definitely not ideal, and we absolutely hate changing street names, but unfortunatelyit must be done so we do not have future addressing issues. Since the grid changes to the 5000blockheading north atthis location, we feel it is the best location to correct this reverse addressing issue. Please see the attachedmap that shows the direction of addressing for Cedarweed Blvd. You will see that we cannot continue thecurrent addressingschemeto the north as it will cause a tremendous amount of confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Debi Romines
