Proposed Billboard Back on Woodstock Agenda

The Woodstock City Council is expected to decide whether an applicant can install a billboard near I-575.

A request to install a billboard near Interstate 575 in Woodstock will come back before the Woodstock City Council tonight.

The council will consider a request from Tinsley Postiglione to install a billboard on 3.49 acres on Rope Mill Road, adjacent to right-of-way along I-575, during its meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at the Chambers at City Center. 

The application for the sign permit was initially denied by city staff based on the property's zoning and a deed restriction placed on the property that prohibits it from being used for billboards. 

The applicants are appealing to the council for a final decision. 

The current zoning of the property, light industrial with technology park overlay, prohibits the installation of billboards within 500 feet of a residential parcel. The city's code allows for residential development in the overlay zoning. 

The property was owned by the city and transferred to its current owners earlier this year.
