However, this is an unusual request, with unique hardships that the Board may often disallow.

A comprehensive list of the specific sections that are being requested to be varied and a staff recommendation for each section will be provided to the Board before the meeting. and Building Permits and Inspection Division City of Fort Collins December 1, 1997 LEGAL NOTICE The purpose of this letter is to inform you of a request for a modification of the Zoning Code of the City of Fort Collins.
