SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE
PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY
STRUCTURES
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a text amendment that clarifies the text amendment
approved at the November 26, 2018 City Council meeting pertaining to Chapter 4 of Title
XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code relating to accessory structures.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved Ordinance No. 9380 at the November 26, 2018 City Council
meeting addressing text amendments to Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the
Pueblo Municipal Code related to shipping containers and accessory structures.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance clarifies amendments that were adopted by City Council on November
26, 2018 pertaining to Section 17-4-23(c)(4) and Section 17-4-23(c)(5) of Chapter 4, Title
XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code (“PMC”) addressing the size, color, and architectural
compatibility of accessory structures. This Ordinance would add an additional paragraph,
Sec. 17-4-23( c) 4.1 allowing for structures that are less than two hundred (200) square
feet, and less than ten (10) feet at the highest point to be of similar color as the principal
structure. Additionally, the Administrative Official would have the authority to waive or
modify the requirement for matching the color of the primary structure, if it is determined
that the color of the accessory structure less than two hundred (200) square feet or less
than ten (10) feet at the highest point is complementary to the primary structure and does
not detract from the aesthetic character of neighboring lands.
Section 17-4-23(c)(5) b. would require structures larger than two hundred (200) square
feet, or higher than ten (10) feet at the highest point to be architecturally compatible with
a principal structure. This would provide consistency in the PMC for architectural
compatibility of detached garages, workshops and other structures with principal
structures such as residential houses and commercial buildings.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
