After some discussion of this matter, and upon Councilman McClain's motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council requested that the Planning Commission consider proposed revisions and/or amendments to the City's "Sign Ordinance" (i.e., Section X of the City's Zoning Ordinance) separate from impending revisions and/or amendments the Commission expects to recommend in any-and-all other sections of the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Oakes brought to Council'a attention the following matters: A. The recent fiftieth anniversary celebrated by the Tultex Corporation, which he attended; B. A July 31st letter from The Honorable Paul Trible, Senator from Virginia, on the denial by the Department of Housing & Urban Development of the City's application for "UDAG" funding to assist in the financing of the downtown "Hotel Project"; C. The status of proposed traffic-light installations along Market Street; and D. The status of the proposed extension of Commonwealth Boulevard from Fairy Street eastward to Route 58 East.
