2008 Billboard StudyThe City of Walker has been asked to consider modifications to its zoning ordinance to allow and regulate the placement of new billboard technologies. Mike Hucul from CBS Outdoor, a local billboard company, has requested that the City permit “Tri-Vision” billboards, which change advertising copy via mechanical methods and “digital/LED” billboards, which are similar to large computer screens. The City of Walker Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) recently determined (on 10-25-07) that these new technologies are not permitted under the current billboard ordinance. The ZBA then forwarded the issue to the Ordinance Committee for additional review. The City of Walker Ordinance Committee, after review and discussion, forwarded this request to the Planning Commission for consideration. On June 4th, 2008 and after considerable debate, the Planning Commission directed staff to report on the number, placement, type and ownership of billboards that currently exist within the City. This report is presented by Walker Planning Department staff to the Planning Commission as a decision support tool. The oblique photos included in this report were copied from the MSN Maps website. The orthophotos and parcel maps were created using REGIS.
