Summary
The commission granted a special-use permit for a 10-by-30-foot digital billboard in the Fort Mohave vicinity; applicant said content would rotate per ADOT rules and nearby digital signage exists already.
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a special‑use permit for a digital billboard in a C2H highway commercial zone near Fort Mohave.
Staff described the proposal and noted standard conditions for a C2H special-use permit (staff presentation SEG 541–548). Applicant Donald Plunkett said the proposed sign would be digital and rotate advertisers in compliance with ADOT rules — "The way the ADOT regulations are, it'll be basically every 10 seconds" (Donald Plunkett, SEG 565–567). He said the sign dimensions would be 10 by 30 feet (SEG 651–653) and that he planned to market the location to local businesses and advertisers. Commissioners asked about the nearest digital billboards and advertiser selection; the applicant said other digital billboards exist along the route and that advertisers would be “whoever cuts a check” while promising local outreach (SEG 582–619).
After questioning, commissioners moved and seconded a motion to approve the special‑use permit; the motion carried by voice vote (SEG 662–670). The decision was recorded as a recommendation and will proceed to any required follow-up reviews and permitting steps.
What happens next: Site-plan and building permits and any applicable ADOT approvals will be completed as required before sign construction.
