Please find a working draft of a proposed sign ordinance at the following link: http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/CPHD/planning/studies/pdf/file83148.pdf

Please review this draft as a work-in-progress. It reflects comments heard during the initial outreach phase, which took place from February through June, 2011. Additionally, it reflects a compiliation of preliminary recommendations from both our consultant, Duncan Associaties, and from staff.

The second phase of outreach began with a public forum last night, and thanks to all who came out last night to participate in the discussions based on select policy issues codified in this working draft. There will be additional opportunities, listed below, to provide review and feedback throughout this second phase of outreach. Comments received during this phase will be reviewed and considered, and any refinements will be incorporated into a final version that will be attached to a Request to Advertise brought before the County Board at their October meeting. Additionally, should any interim drafts be available during the review process, they will be posted on the ZOCO and sign regulations web pages.

A comments matrix will be compiled to include all comments received during this phase of outreach, with staff responses. Continue reading →
