Clear Channels efforts in Tucson, Arizona

Note: given the interrelationship between this ordinance and SB 1138 in the state legislature, it would be appropriate for those from Phoenix, Flagstaff, Sedona, etc. to put a word in on this too, particularly since defeat of this ordinance in Tucson could reinvigorate Clear Channel's efforts in the legislature.The Tucson Mayor and Council will hold a public hearing on June 9 on an ordinance to expressly prohibit billboards with electronic displays or rotating "tri-vision" panels. Currently, no billboards in Tucson have these types of displays, and they are not allowed due to a code interpretation that considers them to be an impermissible expansion of a nonconforming use. This will be the first public hearing before Mayor and Council related to billboards in a number of years.
