Department of Land Use proposes standardizing electronic variable message signs (10-second display)

David Culver, General Manager of the Department of Land Use, told the committee that the Unify Development Code update on electronic variable message signs (EVMs) aims to make rules consistent countywide. He said larger billboards already use a 10-second display and that setting a common standard responds to frequent public calls about flashing signs.

Culver said the update is intended to make expectations clear to residents, businesses and sign operators. No public comments were recorded on this item during the meeting and no committee vote is recorded in the transcript.
