Fayetteville Council Votes to Change Prohibited Signs Ordinance

By: KNWA News
Updated: January 4, 2013
Fayetteville City Council voted Thursday to change sign ordinances for the city to include restrictions on electric billboards.

The measure would regulate the size, brightness and placement of these video boards, updating a current ordinance that restricts signs that blink or flash inside city limits.

In a letter to the mayor, City Attorney Kit Williams said the proposed ordinance will help to "keep up with the times and technology to maintain aesthetic and traffic safety" in Fayetteville.

He and the city's planning staff worked together to create the suggested amendments.

These type of electronic billboards can be seen along Interstate 540 and are also used by local gas stations and convenience stores.

Council members voted unanimously Thursday to amend the definitions of prohibited signs and clarify the regulations.
