SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FOR 1332
CYPRESS STREET FROM R-3, ONE AND TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
ZONE DISTRICT TO RCN, RESIDENTIAL CHARTER NEIGHBORHOOD
ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone a 9,860 square foot parcel, located at 1332 Cypress
Street, from R-3, One and Two-Family Residential Zone District to RCN, Residential
Charter Neighborhood Zone District to facilitate the splitting of one parcel into two
individual parcels.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is currently located in the Bessemer neighborhood less than one
block west of Bessemer Park. The existing parcel is 9,860 square feet and contains two
residential structures. The applicant is intending to split the parcel into two individual
parcels both containing one single family residence. The new parcels will be exactly 42.5
feet wide by 116 feet long or 4,930 square feet of lot area each. The applicant does not
propose building any new structures or additions. Each parcel will have a frontage of
42.5 feet long and will be short of the 50-foot minimum width in an R-3 and will require
rezoning before the applicant can split the parcel. Splitting the lots evenly will not align
with the previously plated lot lines and the applicant will need to apply for a lot line
rearrangement. Finally, the southern residential structure sits less than five feet from the
southern side yard property line, therefore the applicant will need to obtain a variance to
allow the reduced side-yard setback. A prevailing pattern of reduced side and front yard
setbacks is present in the neighborhood. The northern residential structure was
previously addressed as 1328 Cypress and was constructed after 1905 and is 728
square feet. In 1952 it housed a duplex in the primary building with an accessory dwelling
unit in the rear yard (which has been demolished) and this building is currently vacant.
The one and a half story structure at 1332 Cypress Avenue is 866 square feet, was
erected before 1905, and has always operated as a single-family residence. It appears
that the properties were combined after the 1950s into one parcel.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their April 10, 2025 Regular Meeting, voted 4-
0 to recommend approval, Commissioners Avalos and Pasternak 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.
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.
