Permitting is hard.
The Milford, CT Planning and Zoning Board failed to approve new digital billboard regulations to allow digital billboards along I-95. The vote was 5-4 in favor with 6 votes required for a regulation change. Here’s a smattering of comments by those who opposed digital billboards:
- “I find it tough to understand how it isn’t distracting…”
- “What is the point of advertising if you don’t want people to look at it…”
Insider’s take: A recitation of the public safety and benefits to businesses of digital billboards was unable to sway the opponents. Have your safety facts ready when you ask local authorities to approve digital billboards.
The Copley Ohio Board of Trustees voted to amend the town’s sign code to:
- limit sign heights to 15 feet in commercial districts
- restrict advertising signs to one two faced sign per lot.
- require all signs to be constructed on a single pole
- prohibit illumination of outdoor advertising sign with 1,000 feet of a residential district
- limit the changing of display messages to once every 24 hours.
- confirm that the town’s three existing billboards may remain in perpetuity.
Noone spoke in favor or in opposition to the change. Here is a link to the meeting minutes.
Adams Outdoor has filed a legal appeal claiming that Mount Pleasant SC’s sign ordinance is unconstitutional. Adams is trying to get permission to erect digital billbaords in Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant and neighboring Charleston prohibit digital billboards.
