City Clerk's Office Item # R2
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: Andrew Hayes, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE DEFERRED FILINGS PERIOD FOR
THE MEMORIAL HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION TO MAY 31, 2026
SUMMARY:
This ordinance extends the deferred filings period for the Memorial Heights subdivision
until May 31, 2026.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance No. 9995, which conditionally approved the Memorial Heights Subdivision
was passed by City Council on August 23, 2021 and approved by the Mayor on August
24, 2021.
BACKGROUND:
The City received an application for resubdivision of properties located within the Central
Pueblo, Hobson's, and Kretschmer's Subdivisions, respectively, in 2021. The
subdivision plat was ultimately approved on August 24, 2021 under Ordinance No. 9995,
with a condition that all required documentation supporting the subdivision be submitted
and approved within one year of the ordinance being approved. That condition was not
met and the ordinance is now in a "rescinded" status unless City Council takes action to
affirmatively extend the deferred filings deadline for the subdivision through passage of
an ordinance. The property owner has recently submitted the final documentation
required for the subdivision and is requesting that the City record the subdivision plat
and associated documents. In order to proceed with recording the subdivision
documents, Council must authorize an extension to the deferred filings deadline
specified in Section 12-4-8 (b) (2) of the Pueblo Municipal Code.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no direct financial implications to the City as a result of the passage and
approval of this Ordinance.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Failure to pass and approve this ordinance will prevent the City from recording the
Memorial Heights subdivision plat and associated documents and the Director of Public
Works will transmit written notice to the landowner that Ordinance No. 9995 has been
repealed. This would require the landowner to submit a new subdivision application.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance
ATTACHMENTS:
None
