Sections
295-407-4-d am
Analysis
On March 18, 2008, the Common Council passed File Number 070548, an ordinance revising provisions of the zoning code pertaining to automatic changeable message signs. The ordinance included a sunset clause providing that these regulations would become null and void on and after March 31, 2010. This date coincided with the expected completion of a Federal Highway Administration study on the effect of commercial electronic variable message signs on driver behavior and the potential risks to traffic safety.
On March 24, 2010, the Common Council passed File Number 091238, an ordinance extending the sunset date to March 31, 2011.
This ordinance extends the expiration date of the zoning code regulations relating to off-premise automatic changeable message signs another year, to March 31, 2012, in light of the fact that the aforementioned Federal Highway Administration study has not yet been completed.
