Tacoma billboard regulations workshop Jan. 31

The Tacoma Planning Commission is considering revisions to the City’s billboard regulations. The proposed changes include allowing the installation of digital billboards in exchange for the removal of a substantial number of static billboards. The commission is also considering revisions regarding the allowed height, size, location, and other standards for digital billboards. As one of the first steps in the process, the City will host a public workshop on Jan. 31 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Evergreen State College, Tacoma Campus, 1201 6th Ave., Lyceum Hall. At the workshop, staff will describe the proposal, share information about digital billboards and hear your thoughts on the issues and any important considerations. The workshop will include a short presentation and informal opportunities to talk with the project team about your questions and comments.
