Minimum roofing standards.
Coral Springs Land Development Code § 250252
in effectSec. 250252. - Minimum roofing standards.
Pitched roofs shall have a minimum pitch of 4:12. Deviation from the minimum may be approved for gambrel and similar type roofs. Roofing materials shall be allowed as specified in the Residential Architectural Guidelines. Cedar shingle and asphalt shingle roofs are not permitted when an approved roofing material has been originally permitted, except asphalt shingle is permitted in legal subdivisions that were originally permitted with an asphalt shingle roofing material for at least two-thirds (⅔) of the total homes in that legal subdivision. Polyurethane foam or metal on sloped roofs over any finished roofing material is not permitted. A dimensional asphalt shingle roofing material is allowed only if the city's building department determines that a roof truss currently supporting a cedar shake roofing material can not support a tile roofing material. No roof color shall be changed of paint or any other coating without approval of the City of Coral Springs. Flat roofs may be permitted if the flat roof area does not comprise over twenty-five (25) per cent of the total roof area. Such flat roofs may be permitted over porches, Florida rooms, and utility rooms located to the rear of the dwelling unit. Screen enclosures with screen roofs or flat roofs that are not sloped and structures with existing cedar or asphalt shingles shall be exempt from this provision.
