A. The Pueblo County Zoning Administrator shall require the issuance of a permit for any excavation, grading, fill or construction in the community; and

If a proposed site and improvements are in a location that may have mudslide hazards, a further review must be made by persons qualified in geology and soils engineering; and the proposed new construction, substantial improvement, or grading must: (1) be adequately protected against mudslide damage; and (2) not aggravate the existing hazard.
15.03.020 Flood hazards to be determined prior to issuance.
A. The Zoning and Building Administrator shall review all building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new construction or substantial improvement (including prefabricated and mobile homes) must: (1) be designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure; (2) use construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage; and (3) use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage; and
B. The Zoning and Building Administrator shall review subdivision proposals and other proposed new developments to assure that: (1) all such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; (2) all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems are located, elevated and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and (3) adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and
C. The Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment shall require new or replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters, and require on-site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
15.03.030 Owner obtained permits.
The record owner of a single-family dwelling or manufactured home, including the usual accessory buildings and quarters used exclusively for living purposes, may perform construction work on such dwelling or manufactured home without a license provided the dwelling or manufactured home upon which the work is to be performed will be occupied by the owner as the owner's principal place of residence, and a permit is issued by the Department for such work. No building permit shall be issued to an owner to construct a new single-family dwelling or manufactured home more often than once every thirty-six (36) months after the date of the Certificate of Occupancy.
15.03.040 Manufactured structures.
(a) Permits Required. The installation of factory-built structures shall comply with all applicable zoning laws and regulations and all provisions of the Building Code, except that plans for the Manufactured Housing Units are not required when either of the following items are provided to the Department.
(1) A data compliance sheet for HUD-approved manufactured housing units.
(2) A copy of the Colorado approved label (seal) with the legible factory-built certification number.
(b) Seal. A Colorado Division of Housing approval label (seal) must be permanently affixed to each factory-built structure.
(c) Inspection and Notice. The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, 42 USCA, Section 5401 to 5426 and the Colorado Housing Act of 1980 as amended, Title 24, Article 32, Part 7, C.R.S. preempt the Building Code in relation to manufactured structures and therefore the Department does not inspect them. However, the Department shall inspect the foundation, installation of utilities and the installation of the factory-built structures to the foundation.
(b) The following notices shall be given to all persons applying for any permit relating to manufactured homes and factory-built structures from any agency of the County:
"In accordance with Federal and Colorado law, this manufactured structure has not been inspected by the Pueblo County Building Division and may or may not meet requirements of the Pueblo County Building Codes.
"It shall be the obligation of the permit applicant to forward this notice to the owner of the manufactured home or factory-built structure."
(c) The notice set forth in Paragraph (b) above shall be permanently installed in a visible location by the permit applicant adjacent to the data plate required by the Federal Act or in the furnace closet on manufactured structures. (Res. 25-303)
