The Metro Council adopted Resolution R-037-25 directing the Planning Commission to review and propose amendments to the Land Development Code to allow Off-Premises Signs to be constructed as and upgraded to Changing Image Signs (LED or similar electronic displays). The Commission is instructed to hold at least one public hearing and submit its recommendation within ninety days, with Council reserving the right to act if no recommendation is issued. The resolution highlights that current code permits on-premises changing image signs but prohibits off-premises ones, even though other major metropolitan areas allow them. It notes advanced control features such as brightness, dimming, and rate of change already regulated for on-premises signs. The resolution takes effect upon passage and approval.
