4 <br />Appendix A: Billboard Regulations and Compliance Checklist <br />To ensure that billboard signage within the city complies with local, state, and federal regulations, <br />the following checklist has been developed. This checklist should be used by city officials, <br />planners, and businesses to guide the installation and maintenance of billboard signage. <br />Zoning and Placement <br />Zoning Compliance: <br />Verify that the proposed billboard location is within a zone that permits billboard signage (e.g., <br />commercial, industrial). <br />Ensure compliance with local zoning ordinances. <br />Proximity Restrictions: <br />Ensure billboards are placed at least [X] feet away from residential zones. <br />Maintain a minimum distance of [X] feet from other billboards, as per local regulations. <br />Height Restrictions: <br />Confirm that the billboard height does not exceed the maximum allowed by local zoning laws <br />(e.g., [X] feet above ground level). <br />Setback Requirements: <br />Ensure billboards are set back a minimum distance of [X] feet from the road or highway. <br />Historical and Scenic Areas: <br />Verify that the proposed billboard location does not fall within designated historical or scenic areas <br />where billboards are prohibited. <br />Design and Content <br />Size and Dimensions: <br />Confirm that the billboard size does not exceed the maximum allowable dimensions (e.g., [X] <br />square feet of display area). <br />Content Regulations: <br />Ensure billboard content complies with local and federal regulations regarding obscenity, false <br />advertising, and prohibited content. <br />Verify that content changes (for digital billboards) occur at intervals compliant with local <br />ordinances (e.g., every [X] seconds). <br />Illumination and Lighting: <br />Ensure lighting is directed away from residential areas and does not create a nuisance or hazard. <br />Verify compliance with local regulations on brightness and operational hours for illuminated <br />billboards.
