THTH
1305 EAST 4 STREET AND 1302 EAST 5 STREET FROM O-1,
NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE ZONE DISTRICT TO R-5, MULTIPLE-
RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 1.07-acres from O-1, Neighborhood Office District
to R-5, Multiple Residential and Office Zone District to facilitate multi-family workforce
housing.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
In 2023, the City of Pueblo entered into an agreement with Pueblo Community Health
Center to reimburse the Pueblo Community Health Center for the demolition of the
structures that inhabited the subject site. In return, the Health Center deeded the
property to the City. In March 2024, the City entered into Program Participation
Agreement with the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority to fund a consultant to
complete a workforce housing planning and technical analysis of the site. The
consultant provided three options for the potential workforce housing development of
the site that included 18 units, 36 units, and 48 units. The multi-family housing concepts
include both two- and three-story building designs. Each of the concepts incorporated
general designs for off-street parking and stormwater detention. Based on these
concepts, the Planning and Housing Divisions determined that the R-5, Multiple
Residential and Office District was the most appropriate zone district to move forward
when one of the concepts is selected.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their May 14, 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.
