Pueblo’s Second Whataburger Restaurant Wins Initial Approval From Planners

by Nick

Although Pueblo’s first Whataburger hasn’t yet opened, a second restaurant could be coming in the near future after a rezoning plan won initial approval from the Pueblo Planning and Zoning Commission on March 12.

The newest Whataburger is planned for 4580 Dillon Drive, between Candlewood Suites and the Holiday Inn Express. The plans call for a 3,500-square-foot building on a .92-acre lot.

The area already draws plenty of traffic due to the Sam’s Club located across Dillon Drive from the proposed restaurant.

Traffic concerns likely will be alleviated by a roundabout planned for Eagleridge Boulevard and Dillon Drive, said Hannah Prinzi, planner.”I would really like to see a Whataburger at this site and it is not going to have a huge impact on this traffic corridor,” said Michael Cuppy of NorthStar Engineering, speaking on behalf of the applicant.The commission voted unanimously to recommend Pueblo City Council approve the rezoning from Planned Unit Development to business.
