ELECTRONIC billboard.

A senior citizen housing project and a proposed urgency ordinance barring new freeway-oriented billboards tops the agenda for Wednesday night’s meeting of the Westminster City Council.

Two public hearings are scheduled. The first is a review of the planning commission’s recommendation for the approval of a conditional use permit and other actions for the development of 54 multi-family units – including 53 lower-income senior housing rental units – at 13800, 13800, 13802 and 13812 Milton Avenue.

That’s located east of the San Diego (405) Freeway and north of Westminster Boulevard.

The second public hearing is on the proposed ordinance to pause approval for new billboards since the city has received applications for digital billboards but the city’s zoning code contains “outdated regulations” that don’t take into account issues unique to the electronic variety, including height, light and glare. etc.

If approved the moratorium would be in effect for 45 days in order to give city staff time to prepare proposed new regulations.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 8200 Westminster Blvd.
