This update is needed to respond to shifting population and demographic trends, a newly diversified economy, and the evolving needs of unincorporated areas. The updated Regional Comprehensive Plan will explore the needs of both incorporated and unincorporated areas within Pueblo County. This document summarizes the results of the first of several community engagement opportunities that will be provided as part of the Regional Comprehensive Plan process. Online Questionnaire #1: Vision and Values—was available on the project website throughout January and February 2021 and was widely advertised through a variety of channels. The survey was offered in both English and Spanish. Results are organized into five parts: • Part 1: Issues and Opportunities—includes respondents’ opinions on issues and opportunities in Pueblo County regarding transportation, recreation, natural environment, built environment, housing, economy, and quality of life. • Part 2: Vision and Values—reflects respondents’ opinions for the future vision and values of Pueblo County. • Part 3: Survey Respondents— provides a summary of who participated in the survey, their relationship to Pueblo County, and respondents’ demographic information including age, ethnicity, and household income. • Part 4: Open-ended Responses—includes respondents’ free form answers to open ended questions in the survey. Free form comments are provided in full. Where a free response option was offered for a particular question, a summary of major themes derived from those free responses is provided. In some instances, references to individuals or details that would reveal the individual were removed to protect the privacy of respondents and those referenced. NEXT STEPS Input received will be used by the project team to establish a draft framework for the Region’s Comprehensive Plan that reflects the community’s vision and values. This document will also serve as a starting point for diving deeper into any issues, opportunities, challenges, or concerns expressed by survey respondents during the next steps in the Region’s Comprehensive Plan process. Pueblo County Regional Comprehensive Plan 4 Online Questionnaire #1: Vision and Values | Results Summary – March 2021 PART 1: ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES BACKGROUND Pueblo County’s Regional Comprehensive Plan addresses a wide range of topics. This section of the survey explores existing conditions in the following areas: quality of life, housing, economy, transportation, recreation, environment/natural resources, built environment, and rural/unincorporated areas. Input received will help us determine what is working well in Pueblo County today, and what could be improved. Responses are presented as: • Ratings for each Topic Area. For each of the topics listed above, survey respondents were asked to rate the different elements of each planning topic on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 meaning very poor, 2 meaning poor, 3 meaning average, 4 meaning good, and 5 meaning excellent. • Other Issues and Opportunities. Respondents were also asked to provide feedback on issues and opportunities specific to Pueblo County as a whole. This feedback is reflected in the free responses provided in Part 5; summaries of these responses are provided in this section. The feedback in this section will be used to inform updated policies for the Regional Comprehensive Plan. Q 7a: Please rate the different elements of QUALITY OF LIFE listed below on a scale of 1 to 5. Planning Area Specific Ratings Of the Quality of Life Elements, overall cost of living was rated the highest (3.70), while access to childcare/preschool was rated the lowest (2.70). Also receiving high ratings were access to affordable food and resilience to natural and manmade hazards.
