Cleveland, Tennesse

The Planning Commission also is recommending amendments to the county’s sign regulations.
Electronic display screens will be described as a sign or portion of a sign that displays an electronic image or video, which may or may not include text. This definition includes television screens, plasma screens, digital screens, flat screens, LED screens, video boards and holographic displays.
Electronic display screens are prohibited within FAR zoning, or within 200 feet of Residential 1 or Residential 2 zoning districts and must adhere to the following standards:
1. Each image displayed must be static or depicted for a minimum of six seconds (shortened from 10 seconds);
2. Animated images and images which move or give the appearance of movement are prohibited. This restriction shall not prohibit the dissolving or replacing of one image with another image or reader boards (scrolling messages); and;
3. No freestanding electronic display screen shall exceed 25 percent of the total allowable sign face area for any on-premise or off-premise sign.
