RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 30-DAY MORATORIUM ON ALL OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING

body

WHEREAS, it has been determined that a need exists within the City of Jonesboro to manage the installation of signs until such time as a sign ordinance has been prepared and adopted; AND,

 

WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Jonesboro imposed a 30 day moratorium on the installation of all off premise advertising on December 1, 1997 pending further review and study of sign installation; AND

 

WHEREAS, the intent of the moratorium was to restrict only signs of certain size;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas, that the 30 day moratorium on all off premise advertising is hereby amended as follows:

 

Section 1.  Except for locations along Highway 63 Bypass, the following height and width restrictions shall apply to apply to all areas of the incorporated limits of Jonesboro.  A maximum height of forty-two feet (42') measured from the top of the sign and a maximum width of twenty-four (24'). Existing land contours may require adjustments in the height limitation.  In such cases however, the owner /developer/installer shall be required to furnish certified elevation drawings demonstrating such need.

 

ADOPTED this 1st day of December, 1997.
