Barker family wants to keep Billboard CUP at 850 North Main; commission notes sign condition
Summary
Owners of the Don Barker property told staff they want to retain and revitalize a conditional-use permit for an off-premise Venture Outdoor Advertising billboard at 850 North Main; commissioners noted the sign is in poor condition but reported no public complaints.
Chair Speaker 1 opened a review of a conditional-use permit (CUP) issued 08/27/1990 to Venture Outdoor Advertising for an off-premise billboard on the Don Barker property at 850 North Main (parcel referenced partially as 020430013). The item was continued from the May 1, 2025 agenda.
Speaker 2 told commissioners that the Barkers want to keep the CUP and "revitalize the sign and put something new up." Staff and commissioners said they had not received complaints about the sign’s existence, but they noted its appearance is deteriorated.
Commissioners suggested updating contact information on file—one commissioner proposed listing "Fred Barker"—and clarified they would want to review the new sign’s appearance. No formal enforcement action or vote was taken; staff will follow up with the property owners and help ensure the sign meets ordinance standards before re-evaluation.
