Current regulations <br /> discourage any possibility of expansion of billboards. <br /> The suggestion stated below will allow billboards as a permitted use in the I-2 district only. There is no <br /> need to have a billboard as a principle use of a parcel. Nor does a billboard need to be an accessory use. <br /> Simply, billboards as a permitted use or a Conditional Use in the I-2 district would allow signs in a <br /> controlled and regulated mamler,within a small geographical area within the city. <br /> Attached is a copy of sign regulations in the I-2 zoning district, taken from the draft ordinance. <br /> I ask that you consider deleting paragraph f of section 30-875 (4) f from the ordinance. This would <br /> eliminate the principle use language from the I-2 district only. Other zones would not be affected. <br /> There are only two I-2 districts within the city. This would allow limited opportunity for advertising <br /> signs in areas of need without the risk of an over population of signs. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to further discussion. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Steven L. Anderson <br /> Lease Manager <br />
