City Clerk's Office Item # R1
Background Paper for Proposed
Ordinance
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 27, 2025
TO: President Mark Aliff and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Heather Graham
VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk
FROM: Beritt Odom, Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO REZONE
151 NORTH BRADFORD AVENUE FROM B-3, HIGHWAY AND
ARTERIAL BUSINESS ZONE DISTRICT TO R-6, MULTIPLE-
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ZONE DISTRICT
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 151 North Bradford Avenue from B-3, Highway and
Arterial Business Zone District to R-6, Multiple-Residential and Commercial Zone
District.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from B-3, Highway and Arterial
Business Zone District to R-6, Multiple Residential and Commercial Zone District to
construct a billboard on the property. The subject property, commonly known as 151
North Bradford Ave, is a 0.30-acre undeveloped parcel adjacent to Interstate 25 at the
nd
intersection of North Bradford Street and East 2 Street. The subject property is
currently in a Highway and Arterial Business (B-3) Zone District. The B-3 zone district is
intended to provide areas along highways and arterial streets for a wide range of
businesses and services. While the subject property is adjacent to I-25, it does not take
access directly off the highway. Instead, vehicle and pedestrian access is provided from
local streets. The B-3 Zone District does not allow for off-premises signage, including
billboards. Should the property be rezoned to a Multiple-Residential and Commercial (R-
6) Zone District, the applicant could construct a billboard on the site once all required
permitting from the City and CDOT is complete. The R-6 Zone District allows for fewer
commercial land uses than the current B-3 zoning but would also allow the property to
be used for one-family, two-family, and multifamily residential development. The R-6
district is a highway-oriented Zone District designed to retain and provide areas of mixed
residence, commercial use, and accommodations for travelers. The subject property is
designated by the 2022 Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Plan as Urban Neighborhood.
Primary Land Uses in Urban Neighborhoods include moderate density residential,
supporting land uses include neighborhood-scale commercial retail and service uses.
The allowed residential and commercial uses in the R-6 Zone District are compatible with
the Urban Neighborhood Future Land Use classification.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications for the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their September 10, 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.
