Title
Ordinance To Amend And Reenact Chapter 10 Of The Zoning Ordinance Of The City Of Hampton, Virginia Entitled “Signs” By Amending Article 2, Sections 10-18, 10-31, 10-32, 10-33 To Adopt New Regulations For Signs In The New PH-2 And PH-3 Zoning Districts

Purpose
Background Statement:
Chapter 10 of the zoning ordinance governs signs. Specifically, this amendment will establish permitted and prohibited sign types, allowable sign area, and other permitted sign characteristics for the new Phoebus Urban Core, (PH-1), Phoebus Town (PH-2) and Phoebus Commercial Transition (PH-3) Districts. These sign types and permitted dimensional requirements are the same as those permitted in the existing Phoebus Business (PH-1) district.

Generally, signs fitting the urban, pedestrian oriented nature of the historic commercial core of Phoebus are permitted. Signs of a suburban and auto-oriented nature are prohibited. Approval of this amendment would establish sign regulations for the Phoebus Urban Core (PH-1), Phoebus Town (PH-2), and Phoebus Commercial Transition (PH-3) District.

This Zoning Ordinance Amendment is proposed in conjunction with Zoning Ordinance Amendments 18-00008, 18-00009, 18-00010, 18-00011, 18-00012, 18-00013, and Rezoning Applications No. 18-00009, and No. 18-00010 (file nos. 19-0011, 19-0012, 19-0015, 19-0016, 19-0018, 19-0020, 19-0021, and 19-0022).
