-, Enclosure #1 <br /> <br />Martinsville <br /> A CITY WITHOUT LIMITS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: The Honorable Mayor Mark A. Crabtree & Members of City Council <br />FROM: Wayne D. P. ~ox, Planning / Zoning & Housing Manager <br /> <br />DATE: October 23, 2000 <br /> <br />RE: Proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment - Real Estate signs <br /> <br />Following your August 2000 public heating, City Council tabled the recommendation <br />and requested the Planning Commission to further review the proposed changes and get <br />more input from local real estate agents. At its October 3, 2000 meeting, the Planning <br />Commission, unanimously approved a motion to resubmit the original amendment to City <br />Council for its consideration and resolution. Further, additional requests for input from <br />the local real estate community is being sought for the sake of fairness and <br />understanding. <br /> <br />It was the intent of the Planning Commission to recommend an amendment that is more <br />restrictive to ensure that the size of real estate signage would be better controlled, and <br />reduce the amount of signage that contributes to visual pollution on our main <br />thoroughfares. It was also the desire to have this amendment be enforced across all <br />zoning districts. <br /> <br />Lastly, members of the Planning Commission will be available at the October 30, 2000 <br />meeting of City Council to answer any questions you may have. <br /> <br />55 West Church Street P.O.
