Document Description
The proposed project would include construction of a double-sided electronic billboard on City-owned property at the northeast corner of SR-87 (Guadalupe Parkway) and Willow Street. The proposed billboard would be a back-to-back design, in a 15-foot spread “V” structure, with north- and south-facing digital displays. Operation hours would be as governed by City Council Policy 6-4, which are currently 6:00 a.m. to midnight; the sign would operate seven days per week. Other uses for the sign could include promoting community events, highlighting public awareness campaigns, and broadcasting emergency messages, when necessary. The proposed billboard structure would be approximately 80 feet in height overall. The billboard frames would be approximately 14 feet by 48 feet (height by width), with an additional 6 inches of trim, and would be equipped with upper and lower rear catwalks measuring approximately 2.5 feet wide and extending along the length of the back of the billboards. The catwalks would be accessed via a ladder attached to the structure. The proposed project’s long-term disturbed footprint on the 3,698-sqaure-foot project site would be approximately 19.67 square feet.
