Midvale Council tables request to let LED signs use larger changeable-copy faces

The full story

A zoning code text amendment proposed by Dean Cardinale, owner of Worldwide Trekking and founder of The Human Outreach Project, would modify Table 17-7-12.10 to allow up to 85% changeable copy on monument signs in the Regional Commercial zone. Planner Jonathan Anderson told the council that staff believes the proposal does not meet the city’s amendment criteria and that the existing 25% standard has been in place for a long time; exhibits included examples of signs outside Midvale’s jurisdiction.
