The City of Dallas is set to host a public meeting on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at 6 p.m. to discuss proposed updates to the city's billboard regulations. The meeting will take place at the Dallas Development Services Department (DSD) Training Center located at 400 S. Zang Blvd., C95, Dallas, TX 75208.
The proposed changes, initiated by the Dallas City Council on August 23, 2023, aim to modernize existing signage rules under Chapter 51A of the Dallas Development Code. Specifically, the amendments will focus on enhancing relocation rules and enforcement procedures related to non-premise expressway signs.
Key provisions affected include sections 51A-7.307 concerning the relocation of certain detached non-premise signs, 51A-7.308 addressing digital detached non-premise signs, and Division 51A-7.700 covering non-conformance and enforcement procedures.
The upcoming public meeting seeks to gather input from residents, business owners, and stakeholders, allowing them to share their perspectives and recommendations. This collaborative effort is crucial in ensuring that the revised regulations align with the community's needs and expectations.
Following the public meeting in July, the timeline for further review and decision-making includes a Special Sign District Advisory Committee (SSDAC) meeting in August 2024, a City Plan Commission (CPC) review in September 2024, with a final decision by the City Council to be announced at a later date.
All community members are encouraged to participate in the process by attending the public meeting and providing feedback. This engagement is a significant opportunity for residents and businesses to influence the future landscape of Dallas and ensure that the city's signage regulations support the interests of its diverse stakeholders.
