Fairfax County defers vote on new U.S. flag restrictions Fairfax County Government Center [Sky s the Limit Media]
Fairfax County officials deferred a vote on new restrictions on how residents and businesses display the U.S. flag.
After five hours of public comment on an expansive proposal to change zoning rules in the county, to include changes to the county’s flag ordinance, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to take up the issue once again at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 23.
An 11th-hour change to the flag ordinance was made just before supervisors voted to defer the measure. They agreed to allow residents to fly flags as large as 50 square feet and to enable businesses to have flags as large as 150-square-feet.
