Suggested Revisions
• Revision to Section G:
• Allow metal roof as approved reroofing material
• Establish standards for metal roofs
City of

13 Discussion/ Analysis
Applicability to Existing Entitlement Conditions/HOA CC&Rs • Except for RPD and HPD zones, no specific roofing standard in res. areas RPD and HPD-zoned properties have roof material requirements.
Change allows metal roofs in all residential areas, including those within HOAs
Changes would not usurp HOA's ability to limit roof material HOA approval will be required

Discussion/ Analysis
Fire Safety
• VCFPD and Building Codes require roofing systems to have a with Class "A" rating in high fire severity zones.
46% of residences located in high-fire zone area
• The City requires a Class "A" fire rating in all areas of the city Class "A" roof system is the highest fire resistance according to Underwriters Library (UL) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
• Metal roofing, when installed with an appropriate system, will meet the Class "A" fire rating, as required by the City.
