The collection consists of City of Dallas Sign Manuals, 1978-1983.
An adjunct to Chapter 41 of the Dallas City Code, the manuals provide standards for the erection and maintenance of private signs within the City of Dallas and cover the years 1978, 1980, and 1983.
The City of Dallas has had zoning and planning policy making bodies as early as 1916 but an actual board, the City Plan Commission, was not created until 1919. As established in the City Charter, the Commission is responsible for making recommendations to the City Council regarding planning and zoning matters, and for administering portions of the Texas Local Government Code regarding the platting and recording of subdivisions and additions.
Early planning was coordinated through the Commission and the City Engineer, and a Department of City Planning was created in 1945. Departmental organization changed many times between the 1950s and the 1990s (including the Department of Urban Planning), and in October 2002 the Dallas City Council created a Development Services Department. The department provides permit and plan review, approval and inspection services for private development.
