OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING THE LAND USE CODE REGARDING THE
REMOVAL OF ELECTION SIGNS
WHEREAS, Section 3.8.7(L)(1) of the Land Use Code requires that all election signs
must be removed from private property within four days after an election; and
WHEREAS, elections normally occur on Tuesdays and, as a result, election signs must be
removed by 12:01 a.m. on the Sunday following the election; and
WHEREAS, City staff is generally available to remove such signs only on Monday
through Friday, so that the enforcement of this sign regulation does not begin until the Monday
following the election; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the City that
the Land Use Code be amended to state that election signs may remain in place following an
election for a period of five days instead of four, so that the enforcement of the regulation can
begin on the first day after the expiration of the period within which the signs are to be removed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that Section 3.8.7(L)(1) of the Land Use Code is hereby amended to read as
follows:
(L) Election Signs.
(1) Election signs authorized by Section 3.8.7(C)(1)(g) or 3.8.7(D)(2) shall be
allowed on a lot at any time prior to the election day to which the sign relates
and shall be removed within five(5) days after the election day.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published this 19th day of
February, A.D. 2013, and to be presented for final passage on the 5th day of March, A.D. 2013.
