District, which was established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential uses
in certain geographical areas of the City that may be particularly affected by such signs
because of their predominantly residential use and character. A map amendment will not
be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.

Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental
Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.
