Public Forum: DeSmet School Dynamic Display Sign
UPDATE: On March 24th, 2021 the Public Forum took place and was concluded. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
DeSmet School, located at 6355 Padre Lane, has requested a public forum for an exemption from the zoning requirements regarding dynamic display signs. DeSmet School District is proposing to install a dynamic display ground sign. The proposed dynamic display is not permitted in this zoning district and will exceed the permitted dynamic display area relative to the area of the proposed sign.
The City of Missoula Board of Adjustment is authorized by state law to hold a public hearing, known as a public forum, when a public agency proposes to use public land contrary to the local zoning regulations. In this case, DeSmet School District is the public agency proposing to use public land contrary to the zoning regulations which prohibit a dynamic display at this location. The Board of Adjustment does not have the power to deny or condition the approval of the project. The proposal is permitted regardless of the outcome of the hearing. We invite you to submit public comment stating your opinion on the proposal.
