There are two existing billboards on the property, with two advertising faces each.

The other two advertising faces will remain static/fixed. Adjacent to I-25 (restricted corridor). There is no proposed change to billboard size or location.

1 Planning Comment:
No revisions are required or requested.

The next available public hearing dates are:
Planning Commission January 7 and Board of County Commissioners January 28. *or*
Planning Commission January 21 and Board of County Commissioners February 11.

I have not received public opposition. Considering this and the lack of unresoved review comments, it is anticipated that the item will be heard as a consent item at the public hearings. Please prepare a presentation in case the request is pulled to the regular agenda and/or if the hearing body has questions.

Please let me know if either of these hearing schedules work for you!

Thank you,

1 1. It appears PPRBD does not have permit history for the billboards. What address is the utility company using for billing?
2. We do not have comments regarding the special use aspect of this project.
