The Planning Department will hold a virtual community meeting on Thursday, May 12 at 6:30 p.m. regarding proposed code amendments to sections 19.1-272, 19.1-276 and 19.1-278 of the zoning ordinance (PDF).

Since September 2021, the Planning Department has been evaluating the application of current ordinance provisions related to the allowable dimensions for limited duration signs within residential and agriculturally zoned property. Planning staff will present the proposed changes to the zoning ordinance at this meeting which will expand the allowable sign area per property.

• Within residential districts, the total allowable sign area per property would increase from 14 square feet to 24 square feet, with no individual sign being larger than 6 square feet or taller than 5 feet. These signs do not require a limited duration permit and are allowed for 120 days.
• Within agricultural districts, the total allowable sign area per property would increase from 14 square feet to 32 square feet, with no individual sign being larger than 32 square feet or taller than 7 feet. For agricultural district parcels with more than 250 linear feet of road frontage, an additional 32 square feet of sign area would be allowed. These signs do not require a limited duration permit and are allowed for 120 days.
