Shepherdsville council weighs tighter rules for off‑premises billboards
Summary
Councilmembers discussed possible restrictions on third‑party billboards—including spacing, proximity to residential properties and brightness controls—and asked staff to draft options for future meetings.
Before the development presentation, councilmembers debated how the city should handle off‑premises billboards and digital signs. Councilmember John (staff) and Jennifer reported three existing billboards in city limits and discussed whether to set minimum spacing, ban new off‑premises signs in residential corridors or require nighttime brightness testing.
Jennifer said she and a colleague would draft an ordinance with parameters such as minimum separation distances and prohibited locations and email it to other councilmembers for review. One member reported plans to use a light meter to test LED signs against state standards.
No ordinance or vote occurred; council directed staff and the two councilmembers to circulate draft language and continue the discussion at a later meeting.
