On Feb. 2, the Gilroy Planning Commission denied the application to erect a 75-foot-tall electronic digital billboard on a 4-3 vote. We all breathed a sigh of relief that our existing ordinance would remain intact. It prohibits both electronic signs and off-site signs not located on the property of the business they are advertising. Most cities in our area now prohibit this type of sign, but pre-existing ones remain. On Feb. 21, Outfront Media appealed this denial. Now another public hearing will be held at the March 20 Council meeting.
