Clear Channel was provided two <br />years in which to find suitable locations elsewhere in the City to site the billboards. The City’s <br />role was to amend its codes and regulations to allow reasonable opportunity for the signs to <br />be relocated elsewhere in the community. One such location is the City-owned piece of land <br />identified as Outlot A. In addition to identifying general locations, Ordinance 769 also <br />amended the spacing and height requirements for billboards. The relocated billboards and <br />the two billboards remaining at the former golf course site were provided 30 year lease rights. <br /> <br />The following table identifies the various code requirements pertaining to billboards and <br />whether the requirements are satisfied with this request. <br /> <br /> Required Proposed Satisfied? <br />Minimum Spacing 500 Feet 500+ Feet Yes <br />Maximum Height 45 Feet 45 Feet Yes <br />Setback from Residential 250 Feet 300+ Feet Yes <br />Property Line Setback 15 Feet 15 Feet Yes <br />Maximum Sign Area 700 Sq.
