Billboards Near Houses

Councilman Chris Bortz has a proposed ordinance in his economic development committee that would keep billboards at least 200 feet from a residential boundary. The topic is scheduled to come up again May 8.

Here's a new one Councilman Chris Monzel has heard complaints about. It's at Ferguson Road and Glenway Avenue, near Western Hills High School. Residents of Prosperity Place, which runs behind the billboard, can see it from their houses.

Bortz said he has been working with billboard companies for months on some new rules and that it "would be a shame" if a new billboard popped up while those arrangements were being worked out.
