Summary
The Morrow City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026-004 on April 28, 2026, imposing a 180-day moratorium on accepting permitting applications for freestanding sign support structures to allow review of signage regulations.
The Morrow City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026-004 on April 28, 2026, imposing a 180-day moratorium on accepting applications, permits, licenses or inspections related to construction of freestanding sign support structures. Councilman Khoa Vuong moved to adopt the ordinance and Councilwoman Lana J. Labay seconded; all council members voted aye.
The moratorium, described in the ordinance as a temporary pause on accepting new applications tied to freestanding sign support structures, passed at second reading after an initial first reading on April 14, 2026. The ordinance text establishes a 180-day period intended to give city staff and elected officials time to review the city’s sign regulations, consider revisions and prepare any follow-up ordinances or administrative rules.
Mayor John J. Lampl II presided over the vote. The minutes record no public comments during the ordinance discussion. The council did not register any recorded amendments to the ordinance at the time of adoption.
Next steps: the ordinance provides for adoption and an effective date in its text; the council’s minutes do not specify additional immediate implementation steps beyond the adoption. Any future changes to signage policy or application requirements are expected to be handled through the city’s ordinance/amendment process.
