Overview: The Ocean Zoning Board meeting recently addressed several proposals, with the most attention-grabbing topic being an application for a multi-message digital billboard on Highway 35. IAT Services LLC proposed the 75-foot-tall billboard featuring a 14 by 48-foot face, which would change copy every 8 seconds using LED technology. The billboard’s height was determined to keep it out of view of the existing building on the property and not obstruct nearby signage. The board scrutinized the proposal’s compliance with local ordinances, its potential visual impact, and the technological aspects designed to minimize light spillage into the surrounding area.
