have greater visibility to potential customers, thus the economic health of local
businesses and the public interest will be served. Further, allowing replacement and
repair of billboards will minimize potential hazards to residents due to unmaintained
billboards.

would be allowed to upgrade and relocate only within areas that currently permits such
uses. This amendment itself does not allow or change any allowable land uses in the
City.
