Zoning Ordinance Updates Discussed: Signs, Food Trucks, Burning, and More

The board of supervisors reviewed proposed updates to the zoning and land development ordinances, focusing on signs, temporary uses, enforcement, food trucks, and a burn ordinance. Key discussions included regulations for electronic message centers, allowing changes every three minutes, and specific rules for gas canopy signs, including limitations on content and placement. Amendments to portable sign definitions and prohibitions on feather signs were also addressed. Menu boards for drive-through restaurants were proposed as exempt signage with specific size and content criteria. The board also discussed stricter enforcement for temporary uses, proposed changes to food truck regulations allowing up to two trucks per parcel by right in non-residential districts with permit requirements, and a new burn ordinance that would be a separate code of ordinances rather than part of zoning. Finally, they touched upon updating the property maintenance code to the 2021 version.
