TLNA urges the Planning Commission to vote against the proposal to modify our present billboard zoning ordinance
This is the next step in a debate over billboards in the city and county of Durham. Fairway Outdoor Advertising, a Georgia-based billboard company that owns 44 of the 92 billboards in Durham, has filed to have the city and county consider a formal application for a change in zoning law to allow them to upgrade their signs to metal and digital. Previously, the Joint City-County Planning Committee voted not to change the law. After the Planning Commission, both the City Council and County Board will consider the changes. A copy of the requested law change is here: http://media.mgnetwork.com/ ncn/pdf/100304_development_ ordinance_amendment.pdf Opponents of change have a web site. http:// supportdurhambillboardban.com/ TLNA Board has voted to join other neighborhoods who oppose any change in the law.
