Attachment 2 E XTRACT OF THE N OVEMBER 25,2024, C ITY C OUNCIL M EETING M INUTES 1 g. Consider a Request by Clear Channel Outdoor to Amend City Code Sections 1010.02 2 Definitions, 1010.03.C Prohibited Signs, 1010.03.D Non-Conforming Signs, and 1010.10 3 Dynamic Displays Related to Non-Conforming Billboards 4 City Planner Thomas Paschke briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request For 5 Council Action and related attachments dated November 25, 2024. 6 Mayor Roe noted that a bench handout with a revised version of the proposed ordinance had 7 been provided, with language he suggested, clarifying the definition of billboards and also the 8 locations of the existing billboards in the city. 9 Mr. Matt Wilen, Clear Channel Outdoor, addressed the City Council. 10 Councilmember Groff asked if any of these signs are visible from residential properties. 11 Mr. Wilen indicated it depends on how far back you go. The main one they are looking at is 12 35W. He does not think it would because it is in an industrial area. 13 Councilmember Strahan indicated that the signs presented in the packet look substantially 14 more significant than what is out there now, as far as the base is concerned. They look more 15 permanent, and she wondered if these would be taller and have a more comprehensive view 16 than what is already there. 17 Mr. Wilen explained these would be the exact location, size, and height. The displays 18 themselves are also the same size. 19 Councilmember Strahan asked for clarification on the electricity and if there was a difference 20 between the signs. Will the infrastructure that powers the sign need to be changed? 21 Mr. Weiland indicated that those locations would need to be investigated to determine the 22 current service for the signs and where the nearest transformers are. In many cases, not many 23 changes are required. 24 Mr. Paschke reviewed past signs installed with the Council and discussed how City staff 25 worked with businesses to address City Code and residents' issues. 26 Councilmember Etten thought there might need to be a different type of ordinance for these 27 more prominent signs. 28 Councilmember Groff indicated that this would considerably increase the brightness and 29 frequency of the change. He thought it would be similar to a strobe light. 30 Mr. Paschke explained this is not a strobe and would only increase brightness during the day. 31 Mr. Weiland explained that they do not want these signs to be much different from the printed 32 signs that are currently available. 33 Public Comment 34 Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, but no one came forward. 35 Councilmember Strahan referred to Planning Commissioner Bauer’s comments from the 36 November 6, 2024, meeting, indicating it would be nice to have more public comments on 37 this. She thought it was hard when an organization comes forward when the City was not Qbhf!83!pg!363
