Board adopts sign‑code amendment to increase allowed building sign area
Summary
Amelia County supervisors approved a text amendment to allow 1.5 sq. ft. of building signage per linear foot of façade (up to 150 sq. ft., minimum 25 sq. ft.), following unanimous support from the planning commission.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a text amendment changing how building signage is measured and permitted. The new standard allows 1.5 square feet of sign area per linear foot of each building façade, up to a maximum of 150 square feet, with a minimum total sign area of 25 square feet permitted.
Staff told the board the change came from a zoning committee review and that the planning commission recommended the ordinance unanimously. One supervisor summarized the alteration as moving from "one square foot per linear foot" to "a foot and a half," and the motion to approve the ordinance as drafted carried by voice vote.
The amendment applies to building‑mounted signs and ties allowable area to façade length rather than property frontage; staff said the change addresses a recent situation that prompted the committee review.
