A RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AFTER PUBLIC HEARING ON
THE ORDINANCE CAPTIONED "AN ORDINANCE
CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FROM R -2 TO B -3
COVERING A PARCEL OF LAND COMMONLY KNOWN AS
THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE 5100 BLOCK OF THATCHER
AVENUE"
WHEREAS, an Ordinance captioned "An Ordinance Changing Zoning
Restrictions From R -2 To B -3 Covering A Parcel Of Land Commonly
Known As The South Side Of The 5100 Block of Thatcher Avenue"
(herein "Ordinance ") was presented to the City Council upon second
and final presentation on June 11, 1990, and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing prior to City
Council acting upon the Ordinance, and
WHEREAS, the public hearing commenced on May 29, 1990 and was
continued to and concluded on June 11, 1990, and
WHEREAS, a motion made after public hearing to approve the
Ordinance failed to pass by five councilpersons voting against the
motion and two councilpersons voting for the motion, and
WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby take administrative
notice of Section 17 -4 -51(4) and (11.1) of the 1971 Code of
Ordinances of the City of Pueblo; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO, that:
SECTION 1.
Based upon the evidence presented and introduced at the
public hearing held before the City Council on the Ordinance and
administrative notice of the City's Ordinances heretofore taken,
the City Council of the City of Pueblo does hereby find and deter-
minethat:
1. The property sought to be rezoned is an unimproved 15.5
acre tract of land, approximately 750 feet x 900 feet (750 feet
along Thatcher Avenue and 900 feet along Long Street). Thatcher
Avenue is a Colorado state highway and Long Street is a dead end
25 foot wide public street.
2. The property is identified in the Pueblo Regional
Comprehensive Development Plan ( "comprehensive plan ") as urban
residential and the immediately surrounding area, both within the
City and County, has developed residentially.
3. The property is located within and surrounded by R -2
zone districts. The standards of an R -2 zone district are
designed to retain and provide areas primarily for single - family
development of medium density. The only use by right in an R -2
zone district under Section 17 -4 -51(4) of the 1971 Code of
Ordinances is one - family residences.
4. The requested zoning change is from R -2 zone district to
a B -3 zone district. The standards of a B -3 zone district are
intended to provide areas along highways and arterial streets for
the location of businesses and services. Use by right in a B -3
zone district under Section 11.1 of the 1971 Code of Ordinances is
any use which is primarily retail, office, commercial, finance,
transient residence, adult entertainment, government, service,
social or cultural in nature (including parking lot and parking
structure) which serves the public good.
5. Although Bandera Boulevard as shown in the Year 2010
Transportation Plan is proposed to extend from the El Camino
-2-
neighborhood to Thatcher Avenue bisecting the property, no
timetable has been established for such extension.
6. There has not been any material change in the surround-
ing area since the adoption of the comprehensive plan and
establishing residential zoning for the neighborhood.
7. The proposed zoning change would significantly alter the
residential character of the neighborhood and significantly impact
traffic in the area.
8. The proposed zoning change does not further the
comprehensive plan and if granted would merely relieve the property
from the restrictions of residential zoning.
9. The requested zoning change should not be granted.
