Belgrade City-County Planning Board Meeting
The board meeting focused on a public hearing regarding a variance request to relocate and modify a billboard along I-90. The proposal involves changing an existing single-faced billboard into a double-faced structure at a height of 25 feet, with a reduction in total sign face area. Staff provided analysis on the request's compliance with zoning ordinances, noting that the proposal does not meet current city requirements for sign types or size limits, and recommended denial of the request while outlining conditions for approval should the board decide to move forward.
