Bill No. 120889 amends the system of notice to registered community organizations ("RCOs") established by the new Zoning Code, which became effective August 22, 2012.

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