Commission weighs posting signs on properties for certain zoning cases
Summary
Staff proposed requiring on-site signs only for rezoning or changes adjacent to residential properties and recommended using existing 24x24 signs with a QR code linking to murphytx.org; commissioners supported targeted signage but debated scope and enforcement.
City staff told the commission that City Council asked staff to study on-site signage for zoning cases and proposed limiting required signs to rezonings that affect or are adjacent to residential uses. The presenter said signs would be placed on each adjacent road frontage and could use a QR code directing people to murphytx.org.
Commissioners generally supported the concept as a way to reach people who drive by the property, while cautioning that blanket signage could draw distant residents with little nexus to the parcel. Staff said existing 24-by-24 signs could be used and that an ordinance would likely be required because signs would be on private property. Staff will return with a recommendation and potential ordinance language.
