Eagle Lake planning commission directs staff to research electronic sign regulations
Summary
After a presentation by Planning Intern Collins Cherus and remarks from City Administrator Jennifer Bromeland, the commission directed staff to continue researching electronic (digital) sign regulations in the B‑1 Business District and return with draft ordinance language for Article 6 – Signs.
City Administrator Jennifer Bromeland told the Planning Commission on July 20, 2026, that the commission had previously discussed whether the City's sign regulations adequately address electronic message displays in the B‑1 Business District and that the current code "does not clearly address electronic message displays in the B-1 District."
Planning Intern Collins Cherus presented research on how comparable communities regulate electronic signs, common development standards, and potential approaches for regulating electronic message displays through Article 6 – Signs of the City Code. After the presentation, commissioners discussed the research and possible regulatory approaches.
The commission directed staff to continue researching the issue and to return with additional information and draft ordinance language for future discussion before making a recommendation on amendments to Article 6. No formal ordinance amendment was proposed or adopted at the meeting; the directive was for further staff work and a future return to the commission for deliberation.
Commissioners did not record a formal vote on any ordinance language at this meeting. The discussion focused on next steps: staff research, drafting language, and future commission review and recommendation.
