Is the Planning Commission Kicking the Digital Can Down the Road?

The Crescent City Planning Commission posted an interesting item, on the Thursday Last meeting.

A Public Hearing to consider a zoning ordinance amendment to allow digital signs was discussed.

The amendment was applied for by Dr. John Kirk, principal of Tsunami Lanes.

Following all the rules, Dr. Kirk was previously approved to allow the 4ft by 8ft sign at Tsunami Lanes, 101 South, but the City suspended the previous approval for zoning restrictions. 

The signage includes advertising and public service announcements.

The Planning Commission had three options: Approval, Denial or Continued Study.

The Commission chose Continued Study, expressing the impact of lighting (called NITS) off the 101.

Audience members expressed approval of the digital signage; nonetheless, Commissioners voted unanimously voted to study the matter.

The sign continues to operate with no public complaints. 

The Planning Commission meets again Thursday, August 14 at 5:30pm at the Crescent City Waste Water Treatment Plant.
