Summary
The Fremont Planning Commission voted 7-0 to amend Section 11-708 to permit off‑premises signs along 275 corridors after a staff recommendation and no public comment; commissioners amended the proposed wording before approval.
The Fremont Planning Commission voted 7-0 on May 18 to amend Section 11‑708 (Permanent, Off‑Premises Signs) to allow off‑premises signs along 275 corridors after a staff recommendation and no public comment.
Planning Director Jeffrey B. Ray, AICP, presented the staff report and recommended approval of the amendment. Chair Stan Darling opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke and the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Landholm moved to amend the proposed wording of the draft change; Commissioner Einspahr seconded. The commission voted unanimously to adopt the amendment. Landholm then moved to approve the section as amended, with Commissioner Carlson seconding; that motion also passed 7-0. The minutes record Commissioners Ortiz, McKay, Sawtelle, Carlson, Landholm, Einspahr and Chair Darling voting in favor; Commissioners Jaeger and Nielsen were absent.
The amendment as adopted changes the municipal code to permit off‑premises signage along the 275 corridors as described in the staff report. The text of the revision, beyond the action to "allow Off‑Premises Signs along 275 corridors," was set by the commission during the adopted amendment; the minutes do not reproduce the final ordinance language in full.
The action recorded in the minutes is a Planning Commission approval; the minutes do not state any immediate subsequent steps such as forwarding for city council review or an effective date.
