TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 4-10-3 OF CHAPTER 10 OF TITLE IV OF
THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE CITY'S ADDRESS
NUMBERING SYSTEM, ADOPTING THE PUEBLO CITY-COUNTY ADDRESSING
STANDARDS PUBLISHED MAY 2010, AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR THE
VIOLATION THEREOF
ISSUE
Should City Council pass an ordinance:
(1) amending Section 4-10-3, Pueblo Municipal Code, as amended, to change
the baseline for counting and assigning all addresses within the City from First Street
and Main Street to First Street and Santa Fe Avenue;
(2) amending Section 4-10-3, Pueblo Municipal Code, as amended, to change
the address counting system from a grid system based on longitude and latitude to the
system described in the Pueblo City-County Addressing Standards published May
2010; and
(3) adopting the Pueblo City-County Addressing Standards, published May 2010,
on file with the Office of the City Clerk?
RECOMMENDATION
The Departments recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The City does not currently use First Street and Main Street as the baseline for its
addressing system, but instead uses First Street and Santa Fe Avenue. The proposed
ordinance recognizes that this is the baseline currently in use and adopts it as the
official baseline.
The current grid system based on latitude and longitude used for counting and
assigning addresses has become obsolete due to the advent of GPS systems. In order
for the City's addressing system to work properly with GPS systems, the uniform
national system described in the Pueblo City-County Addressing Standards, published
May 2010 must be applied. The proposed ordinance adopts and requires compliance
with those standards.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Unknown.
