Billboard separation standards on Minnesota Avenue
Summary
A 2024 city ordinance requires off-premises signs to sit 500 feet from sensitive land uses like single-family homes, rivers, cemeteries and historic districts. This was the first case testing that rule, and the board granted a 341-foot separation — a signal the rule may be flexible along established commercial corridors.
