McDonald's Corporation is requesting that the City's Zoning Ordinance be amended to change the allowable height of freestanding , on premise advertising signs, located in G.C. zones from forty five (45') to seventy five (75') feet.

The Commission met on August 30, 1988 to consider a recommendation to the City Council for this request. The Commission voted (5 ayes and 1 abstain) to recommend granting an amendment to the interim sign regulations to include a "Controlled Access Highway Zone" for signs. The Commission recommends further that a maximum height of sixty five feet (65') be considered and a width of five hundred feet (500') along and parallel to each side of the controlled access highway, as shown on the City of La Porte Thoroughfare PIan be considered as the limits of the Controlled Access Highway Zone.
