Rules of the Streets
Standardization Of Road Naming Criteria
1. Use only accepted suffixes.
2. Homonyms for road names are not acceptable.
3. Road names should be unique and not repeated in the County from this point forward, with the
exception of continuation of existing streets.
4. Each Municipality and the County may develop a list of acceptable or recommended names for
use in its jurisdiction. If there are duplications on such lists, and another Municipality or the
County utilized the name, the name will be removed from the acceptable or recommended lists
in the other jurisdictions.
5. Within the Growth Management Area around each Municipality, roads will be named using
city/town names, not County road numbers. Outside of the GMA Boundary, County road
numbers will be used. Street names, rather than County road numbers, will be used for internal
roads in County subdivisions and 35 acre developments.
6. In the unincorporated area any road that serves as an access to multiple properties must be
named. Multiple properties accessing of a single point from a County road may not use the
single access point as a common address.
7. Continuous roads should have continuous names (with the exception of circle roads). Names
should not change except at the Growth Management Area boundary, however, names are not
required to change at the Growth Management Area boundary.
8. Recommend that road names must be simple to pronounce, in the opinion of the review
jurisdiction.
9. Cardinal directions cannot be used in the name. Directions are used only to designate the
portion of an existing road. (not acceptable -North Road, East Fort Road, Northstar Drive.)
10.. No curse words or derogatory terms shall be used for road names.
11. These are meant to be minimum standards for each Municipality and the County. The main
objective is to provide clear street names for citizens and for emergency dispatch and to
minimize the possibility of emergency personnel being unable to find a location. Nothing in
this Agreement is intended to limit any Municipality or the County from developing more
extensive street naming guidelines.
12. Numerical addressing will not change from the current process.
13. All names shall be of the commonly acceptable spelling, according to a standard dictionary.
14. Street names cannot contain any punctuation or special characters. Only alphabetical symbols
A through Z, and numbers 0 through 9 and blank spaces may be used in street names.
15. Anytime that a street makes a directional change of approximately ninety degrees, the street
name shall change. A directional change of approximately ninety degrees shall mean a
horizontal curve where a reduction in the design speed is required (i.e. a sharp turn vs. a

Naming Two Streets After Police Officers Killed in the Line of Duty
The City of Fort Collins Police Services is in the process of planning and
designing a new facility that will be located on Lot One of Spring Creek Farms
North Subdivision. Lot One will be surrounded by four public streets. (See
attached exhibit.) Spring Creek Farms North Subdivision was approved by the
Hearing Officer on August 22, 2005, and is expected to be recorded shortly.
Police Services would like to honor two police officers who were killed in the line
of duty by naming two streets abutting the proposed facility after these officers.
Since the plat is not recorded yet, the time is ripe to add these two names to the
affected streets. If this is done prior to recording the final plat, then a Street
Name Change Resolution would not be required.
On September 6, 2005, City Council passed Resolution 2005,094 which added
the names "Joseph N. Allen" and "Charles E. Brockman" to the official list of
street names that can be used for arterial and collector streets.
The result of naming these two streets is that there would be a break in the name
along two arterial streets. Along Drake Road, there would be a name break with
"Joseph Allen" to the north and existing "Sagebrush" to the south. Along
Timberline Road, there would be a name break with "Charles Brockman" to the
west and "Katandin" to the east. Since "Katandin" is platted but not constructed,
there is a possibility that this name could be changed to match `Brockman."
Discussions with the developer of Side Hill Filing Two are being planned so that
there could be matching street names on both sides of Timberline Road.
The City Manager is being apprised of these actions because of the two name
breaks at the arterial intersections. The City has entered into an I.G.A. with
Larimer County that such a naming pattern would be discontinued. While
breaking the name across arterials is generally discouraged as an
unconventional street naming practice, there are numerous examples of such
naming patterns throughout the City that has not led to driver confusion. Police
Services Staff has contacted Larimer County officials who do not object to
naming these two streets with the resulting name breaks at the two arterial
streets.
