They need to hear from you!

 

On Tuesday, Jan. 19, the City of OKC Council will consider an ordinance
relating toelectronic message display (EMD) signs.  EMD signs range from
changing texts and graphics to full-motion video.

 The Council will vote on ordinances that will regulate this popular
advertising method. Neighborhoods need to be aware of what's in the proposed
ordinance and how it could affect them.

The proposed ordinance will allow:

*	Electronic signs anywhere in OKC, including in or abutting your
neighborhood. 
*	In commercial areas, businesses can erect electronic signs that are
up to 200 sq. ft. (by comparison, the typical electronic signs currently at
Sonic drive-ins are only 25 sq. ft.) 
*	The ordinance even allows these huge electronic signs in residential
areas so long as the messages are displayed for at least 8 seconds and do
not have the appearance of movement.  

 Is this the image we want around our neighborhoods? 

If not, your City Councilperson needs to hear from you today!

Please e-mail or call today and let them know you are concerned with the
impact this ordinance will have on neighborhoods. Ask them to study the
issue carefully before voting to change the EMD Ordinance. 

 Call 297-3884  or e-mail.....

Some concerned citizens are asking for these amendments to the proposed
ordinance:  

*	Carve out the areas that currently have some type of design review,
such as historic preservation districts and the urban design districts. 

*	Limit the size of electronic signs to 75 sq. ft. 

*	Assure that organized neighborhoods are notified of all permits for
EMD signs that are within 300 feet of their neighborhood boundaries and are
given the right to protest if they choose to. 

Remember: The vote is Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 8:30am.! 

Contact your councilperson or the mayor before the vote to have your opinion
heard
