RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance regulates temporary signs and allows each
business to obtain up to six (6) temporary sign permits per year, limits each permitted temporary sign to be
erected for not more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, and limits temporary signs being erected at a business for
more than sixty (60) days, in the aggregate, in a calendar year; and
WHEREAS, the road construction project commonly known as the “Route 29 Solutions” project will
require the removal of approximately ten (10) privately-owned permanent signs along Route 29 North between
the southern terminus of Berkmar Drive and Myers Drive to the north to allow utilities to be relocated; and
WHEREAS, the removal of these permanent signs may be as soon as Spring 2015 and the affected
businesses may prefer to not establish new permanent signs until th e Route 29 Solutions project is completed;
and
WHEREAS, it may be desirable to amend the County’s regulations for temporary signs, under suitable
standards, to extend the duration for which temporary signs may be erected to allow those businesses whose
permanent signs are removed in conjunction with a road construction project to erect temporary signs until new
permanent signs are erected or the road construction project is completed, whichever occurs first.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience, general
welfare and good zoning practices, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a resolution of
intent to consider amending Albemarle County Code § 18-4.15, Signs, and any other sections of the Zoning
Ordinance deemed to be appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the zoning
text amendment proposed pursuant to this resolution of intent, and make its r ecommendations to the Board of
Supervisors at the earliest possible date.
