TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 4 AND 7 OF CHAPTER 10 OF TITLE XVII
OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO MANSARD ROOF SIGNS AND
PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
ISSUE
Should the City Council amend Chapter 10 of Title XVII of the Pueblo Municipal Code
relating to mansard roof signs?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their January 13, 2010 Regular Meeting,
voted 7 -0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Ordinance will allow signs to be placed upon the roof surface of mansard
style roofs so long as the sign is a channel letter sign.
Currently the Sign Code prohibits roof signs placed upon the roof surface. Mansard
style roofs are technically roofs but function more as a wall when it comes to signage,
providing a semi - vertical location to place signage. The proposed Ordinance will allow
channel letter signage on the mansard roofs so long as it does not extend above the
roof line or below the eave.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
