TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 52 OF CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE XVII OF THE
PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO NONCONFORMING OUTDOOR LIGHTS
ISSUE
Should the City Council amend Chapter 4 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
relating to nonconforming outdoor lights?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their August 13, 2008 Regular Meeting, voted
6 -0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The proposed text amendment will create measurable standards for when a property is
required to bring existing outdoor lighting into compliance with the Outdoor Lighting
Performance Standards. Other sections of the Zoning Code either contain applicability
sections or nonconformity sections. The lighting code is silent on the issue of existing
lights and therefore raises questions of staff and property owners about when a light
fixture or pole must be brought into compliance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
