Commissioners adopt ordinance clarifying SU-8 message-board eligibility for schools and churches
Summary
The board unanimously approved ordinance 2026-15, adopting APC's recommendation to allow public schools, churches and religious facilities to apply for SU-8 electronic message boards in any county zoning district.
An Area Plan Commission representative outlined an ordinance amendment to allow public schools, churches and religious facilities to apply for an SU-8 electronic message board regardless of zoning. The APC had given the proposal a unanimous recommendation.
A commissioner moved to approve the ordinance (identified in the meeting as ordinance 2026-15), a commissioner seconded and the board voted unanimously. The ordinance was advertised on July 2, 2026, according to the APC representative. The change is intended to let schools and religious facilities apply for small electronic message boards in zones that previously limited such signs to commercial property.
Commissioners did not debate the substance at length; the board approved the motion on voice vote.
