Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY __ COURT HOUSE, Va., December 14.—The elimi- nation of a large number of the uses permitted under the “Residential A" section of the tentative zoning ordi- nance was requested of the Arlington County Zoning Commission at a private hearing granted last night to a special committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation. The committee con- sisted of Harry Fellows, Julian W. Simp- son, L. C. McNemar and Mrs. Florence E. Cannon. Uses to Be Banned. Among the uses which the committee requested to have entirely eliminated from the highest residential area were: Sanitariums, hospitals for contagious diseases, railroad or bus passenger sta- tions, static transformer stations, tele- phone exchanges, stables, cemeteries, apartment houses, truck gardens and nurseries, dairy farming, live stock and poultry raising, quarries and gravel pits. Taking section No. 3 of the tentative ordinance, the committee included in its consideration everything from para- graph No. 10 to and including para- graph 23. The commission was asked to exclude everything except para- graph No. 12, which refers to Federal State and county buildings. Referring to paragraph No. 16, which refers to certain privileges with re- spect, to private garages, the committee asked that this type of garage be lim- ited to commercial vehicles. It was further requested that paragraph No. 16, which refers to sign boards, be placed in the ordinance as a special section, applying to_the entire county without' regard to- districts. ‘Would Halt Signs. Such a change would, it was pointed out, prohibit the erection of any further sign boards in the county, with the exception of professional or announce- ment signs not over 6 feet square and signs advertising the goods manufac- tured or sold on the premises upon which the sign is erected or advertis- ing for sale or rent the property upon which the signs are placed. It was called to the attention of the committee that the paragraphs referring to dairy farming, live stock and poul- try raising were placed under the “Residential A” section so that all land in the county now so used be properly restricted at the time the natural growth crowds out this type of business to make way for subdividing. ‘The committee was informed that its requests would be given careful consideration before the ordinance is placed before the board of county supervisors.
