# Architectural Review Board Public Hearing | November 12, 2026


**Body:** City of Roanoke
**Date:** November 11, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Roanoke Architectural Review Board held its public hearing on November 12, 2026. The board approved the consent agenda. It then considered an application concerning signage already installed at 551 Marshall Avenue SW (case M-1113517). A representative of the All Southwest board supported staff’s recommendation to deny the signage as submitted because it did not meet H-2 historic guidelines. The applicant was not present, and the matter was continued to the December 17 meeting; the representative’s comments were to be preserved for that hearing.

The board also reviewed the proposed nomination of the 11th Street NW Commercial Historic District for the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. Staff described the district’s history, the property-owner voting process, and the distinction between honorary register status and local historic-district regulations. The board discussed a letter of support for the nomination, but the transcript does not clearly capture the motion’s outcome. No procurement, contracting, or spending activity was identified.
