B.3.10 Exterior Signage Requirements

NOTE:  All exterior signage shall conform with the Installation Design Guide and Post Wide Paint. Exterior Finish Standards and color charts.

To request a new sign fill out a DA Form 4283 work request form and provide to the Customer Service Branch of the DPW. The DPW Master Planning Office is the approving authority for all new signs, except where noted in this IDG.  Requests to change existing signage can be done through the DPW Service Order Desk by calling 719-526-5345.  Disapproval of requests has been delegated to DPW; only on extremely rare and special occasions will waivers be brought to the Garrison Commander for approval.

Public Works approval is required prior to installing, painting, revising, relocating, or expanding any sign.  No approval is required to perform normal maintenance and repair of a conforming sign or to change a message on a sign or marquee specifically designated for this purpose.

Building numbers of correct dimension, contrasting with the background and properly posted are required in accordance with the Fort Carson Installation Design Guide and NFPA 1.  

All buildings, including single and multi-family residential, are required to have numbers twelve inches high, with an appropriate corresponding width, and ½-inch stroke; mall tenant spaces and Family Housing Units, four inches high, ½-inch stroke; suite numbers in office and hotel type occupancies, two inches high and 1/8-inch stroke.     Assigned address numbers are to be posted, on construction sites in a highly visible location facing the address street, at all times during the construction period of any complex.
