WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation construction project commonly known
as "Route 29 Solutions," which is along Route 29 North and the adjoining areas between the southern
terminus of Berkmar Drive and Myers Drive (the "Project" and the "Project Area "); and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2015, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors amended County
Code § 18 -4.15 to extend the duration for which temporary signs may be erected to allow those
businesses whose permanent signs are removed in conjunction with the Project to erect temporary signs
until new permanent signs are erected or the Project is completed, whichever occurs first; and
WHEREAS, the County has solicited and received additional feedback from business owners
within the Project area and they expressed concern about the visibility of their businesses and marketing
their businesses during the Project and possible solutions to address those concerns, including allowing
additional temporary signage during the Project;
WHEREAS, it may be desirable to amend the County's sign regulations to allow one additional
temporary sign, with a maximum sign area of up to forty -eight (48) square feet and, in order to avoid a
proliferation of temporary signs and to encourage multiple businesses to share the same sign, to allow the
one such additional temporary sign on a per site, rather than per establishment, basis.
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 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 recommendations
to the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible date.
