[*Section 903 amended by Ordinance No. 97-13; Effective January 1, 1998] 904 COLOR 904.01 Exterior Color Requirements *A. The color contrast of structures with the natural dark green of the vegetation, and rust reds of the red rocks and soils is a concern with respect to reducing visual impacts of the built environment and trying to blend it with the natural environment. Structures, walls, garage doors, roofs (including flat roofs) and fences that are visible from beyond the property line on which the structure is located shall blend with the surrounding natural environment without calling undue attention to the development, and materials or colors used shall have a Light Reflecting Value (LRV) not exceeding thirty eight percent (38%) (Munsell value 7), except as allowed in Section 905, Alternate Standards. Exterior paint and material colors shall not exceed values and chromas as set forth below, and as indicated in the Munsell Book of Color on file in the Community Development Department. (The Munsell Book of Color is a system that Co describes color in terms of three standardized attributes: hue, value (lighmess/darkness) and chroma (intensity). Numerical values define each color attribute, and the colors are arranged in the book in equal visual steps for each attribute). Bright and glossy or fluorescent colors are prohibited. To determine if a particular color is acceptable, the applicant may take the desired color chip (available at paint stores) to the Department for comparison with the Munsell Book of Color. In Munsell hues BG (Blue-Green), B (Blue), PB (Purple-Blue), P (Purple), and RP (Red-Purple); the maximum chroma allowed is "two (2)", unless values of "five (5)" (LRV 20%) or less are proposed, in which case the maximum chroma may be increased to "four (4)". In all other Munsell hues, the maximum chroma allowed is "two (2)", unless a value of "six (6)" (LRV 28%) or less is proposed, in which case the maximum chroma allowed is "four (4)". Further, when a value of "five (5)" (LRV 20%) or less is proposed, the maximum chroma may be increased to "six (6)". Under the provisions of Alternate Standards as defined in Section 905 where a maximum LRV of forty eight percent (48%) (Munsell value "8") is allowed, the maximum chroma allowed is "four (4)" for hues 7.5R and 10R, and "two (2)" for all other hues. Chimneys, flues, vents, gutters, downspouts, railings, posts and poles, exterior window shading devices, and window and door trim shall be similar in chroma and value to the surface they adjoin unless they are featured in the design. In such cases, accent colors not necessarily meeting the value or chroma restrictions may be approved. The colors permitted represent a palette of colors considered appropriate for use on buildings and structures in Sedona. Even though it may seem restrictive, there are actually an infinite number of shades and-values of color from which to choose. This is based on the fact that there are many shades and values between any of the number ranges shown in the Munsell Book. For City of Sedona Land Development Code 9-8 January 1, 1995
