Meeting approves North Star Church’s request for LED sign in agricultural zone
Summary
After a public hearing, members approved a special exemption allowing North Star Church Incorporated to install a 4-by-8 dynamic LED sign roughly 8–10 feet high at the entrance to its storehouse in an agricultural zone; the July 11, 2024 minutes were discussed but left to be marked at the next meeting due to an abstention.
Members at a meeting approved a special exemption allowing North Star Church Incorporated to install a dynamic LED sign on property zoned agricultural, following a public hearing in which the applicant described the sign’s size, location and mounting height.
The applicant said the sign would be “a 4 by 8 screen” and proposed mounting it “about 8 to 10 feet up high” at the north side of the entrance to the church’s storehouse so it would be visible to those approaching the property. The representative described the device as a dynamic display; no specific technical specifications or programming schedule were presented in the hearing.
The panel first entered a public hearing on the application and voted to waive the legal reading of the staff report before hearing from the applicant. After discussion, a motion to approve the special exception for a dynamic display sign in the agricultural zone was made, seconded and called. Named members recorded affirmative votes: Wakefield, Littlefield and Darnell. The motion was recorded as approved.
Earlier in the meeting, members considered a motion to approve the minutes of the July 11, 2024 special meeting; the motion was moved and seconded but at least one member said they would abstain, and the body noted it did not have the full form to approve those minutes and would mark or address that item at the next meeting.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
What happens next: The special-exemption approval permits the church to install the described dynamic display at the stated location under the terms of the local zoning decision; the transcript does not specify any conditions attached to the approval, a permit issuance timeline, or technical standards to be followed.
