SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TITLE OF CHAPTER 3 OF TITLE XV
OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE FROM "SIGHT OBSTRUCTIONS
AT INTERSECTIONS" TO "SIGHT OBSTRUCTIONS AND
ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY"
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance will amend the title of Chapter 3 of Title XV of the Pueblo Municipal
Code from "Sight Obstructions at Intersections" to "Sight Obstructions and
Encroachments into the Right-of-Way" to clarify the intended scope and meaning of the
Chapter.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The current title of Title XV, Chapter 3 of the Pueblo Municipal Code implies that the
Chapter's scope only addresses sight obstructions at roadway intersections within the
City. However, the language contained within the rest of the Chapter applies more
broadly, defining additional nuisance conditions that the Traffic Engineer is responsible
for abating. The proposed change to the title adds clarity to the scope and meaning of
Chapter 3.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the title of the Chapter will remain
unchanged.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
None
