Brentwood considers zoning amendment to allow larger electronic scoreboards at Brentwood Academy
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a proposed text amendment to the zoning code to allow larger electronic scoreboards in service institution districts, prompted by a request for parity with Ravenwood High School. Staff presented proposed limits and planning-review requirements; no formal vote was recorded on first reading.
At the May 12 Brentwood Board of Commissioners meeting, the commission considered a proposed ordinance (first reading) to amend the zoning code’s sign standards for service institutional districts to allow larger electronic scoreboards for campus athletic facilities.
Staff said the change was requested by Brentwood Academy to achieve parity with the scoreboard at Ravenwood High School. The draft text amendment would increase the maximum electronic message display from 200 square feet to 710 square feet, allow up to 100 square feet of commercial advertising on the scoreboard structure, limit scoreboard display height to 40 feet, and permit only one single-sided electronic message display per campus.
Todd Petrovsky, interim director (staff), and other staff answered commissioner questions. Commissioners were told the code contains no specific minimum distance from residences for a scoreboard; any proposal would be considered through a revised site plan and reviewed by the Planning Commission. The proposed electronic message display is visual only; audio for Brentwood Academy events was said to be handled by stadium speakers rather than the scoreboard unit.
The amendment was presented for first reading. No formal vote on adoption is recorded in the transcript; the matter remains at first-reading consideration and would return for subsequent action if the commission advances the ordinance.
