PRESENTED July 25. 1995
ADOPTED $oly25. 199~i
A RESOLUTION:
TO UPHOLD THE DECISION OF THE BOARD OF
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPROVING CASE BAR 95-48 FOR A
REQUEST TO INSTALL A SIGN ON THE PARAPET OF THE
BUILDING AT 1 SOUTH KING STREET
WHEREAS, on June 5, 1995, the Board of Architectural Review approved an application
to change the name in the parapet of the building at 1 South King Street from W.W. Chamblin
to S.W. Stockman; and
WHEREAS, the Board stated that changing the name did not erode the historical
significance of the building and would not be contrary to the purpose of the preservation
ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the decision of the Board is consistent with the 1991 amendment to the
zoning ordinance which was meant to allow the reinstatement of the name on the building with
the clarification that the building has been known historically by more than one name and the
reinstatement of a name in the parapet is the character defining element of the building rather
than the name itself; and
WHEREAS, the BAR approval included a provision that the new name and future names
are to be used to identify the building and not be used as advertising for tenants; and
WHEREAS, the new name is architecturally compatible with the building and the sign
space and historically in keeping with the early 20th century renovation of the building.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as
follows:
A RESOLUTION:
-2-
TO UPHOLD THE DECISION OF THE BOARD OF
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPROVING CASE BAR 95-48 FOR A
REQUEST TO INSTALL A SIGN ON THE PARAPET OF THE
BUILDING AT 1 SOUTH KING STREET
It is found that the decision of the Board of Architectural Review is not arbitrary and is
not contrary to law and the decision is affirmed.
PASSED this 25th day of July , 1995.
