Description

Outdoor advertising; vegetation control. Establishes a consistent statewide standard for vegetation control throughout the Commonwealth, including inside municipalities. The bill would clearly establish applicability of the statewide standard inside municipalities and throughout the Commonwealth, but also respect the beautification projects of local governments, by granting VDOT the authority to impose on a billboard company requesting approval of a vegetation control permit, the obligation to relocate or replant vegetation according to a landscaping plan approved by VDOT, at the sole cost of the billboard company.
