Hastings City Council considers temporary signs, Distributed Antenna Systems, setbacks

The Hastings City Council considered several draft ordinances Monday, approving changes in ordinances 543 and 546 and denying amendmets to ordinances 544 and 545.

 

The change in ordinance 543 clarifies definitions of some temporary signs and amends regulations that apply to the signs in residential areas. The issue came up when the code compliance officer began enforcing the ordinance that was amended to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court decision banning content based signs.

 

Ordinance 546 clarifies definitions of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to confirm that they are not essential public services equipment. Lack of the clarification would hamper the city’s ability to regulate the systems. Approval of both amendments was recommended by the city planning commission, with the DAS amendment also recommended by Attorney Jeff Sluggett.

 

The council followed the planning commissions recommendation to deny changes in draft ordinances 544 and 545 that would have reduced setbacks in D-1 and D2 industrial zones that abut residential zones, depending on the height of the building in the industrial zone.
