Council approves electronic message display sign permit for National Guard site

Staff presented a conditional use permit to add an electronic message display (EMD) sign at 315 Pearson Road, a 7.9-acre parcel occupied by the Wyoming National Guard; staff recommended approval with five standard conditions and the planning commission also recommended approval. Director Chapman said the EMD would be placed near the Yellowstone and Pearson Road intersection and noted it conforms with the community blueprint for the West Yellowstone Corridor.

Council members asked clarifying questions about sign location and orientation; staff recalled the sign would face west and not toward nearby houses. Following that exchange the council approved the resolution by a 4-0 voice vote.
