Summary
The Traffic & Parking Commission voted to defer indefinitely Metro Ordinance BL 2025-1072 (proposal 2025-Z-013TX-001) on sandwich-board signage after staff reported Council member Houghton withdrew the ordinance and plans to refile after the new year.
The commission deferred indefinitely Item 7.1, a Metro ordinance dealing with sandwich‑board signage (BL 2025-1072 / proposal 2025‑Z‑013TX‑001), after staff reported the bill's sponsor had withdrawn it for refiling.
An unidentified staff speaker told the commission, "Council member Houghton has withdrawn the ordinance and will be refiling it after the New Year, so we will bring this back to you probably in February." The chair clarified that he had misspoken earlier about the nature of the request and recommended deferral. A motion to defer the item indefinitely was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
No substantive debate on the ordinance's merits occurred at the meeting; staff said the item will return to the commission after the sponsor refiles it.
