The bill would allow a very large "wall wrap" outdoor advertising sign, between seven thousand and ten thousand square feet in size, to be hung on any building in the area bounded by 6th, Spring Garden, 7th and Willow Streets.

The bill, however, would also liberalize the overlay's zoning rules to permit such large variety stores in the remaining parts of the overlay area. The larger development currently underway is positive for Germantown. Part of the development - a new supermarket -...
