Planning board schedules first public hearing on sign ordinance for Sept. 18; removes illuminated-sign curfew from draft
Summary
The board voted to schedule a first public hearing on proposed changes to the sign ordinance for Sept. 18 and agreed to remove a provision that would have required businesses to turn illuminated signs off at 10 p.m.
The Brentwood Planning Board voted to schedule the first public hearing on proposed changes to the town's sign ordinance for Sept. 18.
During discussion, members raised concerns about a draft requirement that would have required illuminated signs to be turned off at 10 p.m. Several board members said illuminated signs can serve as advertising and for public-safety reasons some lighting is desirable; others favored keeping restrictions. The board amended the draft to remove the line requiring signs to be turned off and asked staff to notify the drafting team.
A motion to hold the first public hearing in September carried by voice vote; participants recorded "Aye." The board agreed the first public hearing will be on Sept. 18 and clarified that additional hearings or a second vote will be scheduled as required by the ordinance-adoption process.
Ending: Staff will post public-notice materials and schedule the Sept. 18 public hearing; the sign-language edits agreed to at the meeting will be included in the first-hearing notice.
