Officials in Lindenhurst, IL have agreed to review and update the village’s sign ordinance to accommodate some LED signs, which are currently prohibited except by special-use permit, the Lake County News-Sun reported May 14. Assistant Village Administrator Karl Warwick compiled proposed restrictions for LED signs, which include restricting LEDs to one color on a black background with no animation, scrolling or flashing characters or graphics.
“Signs define the character of a community. Upgrading our requirements would be good for our village,” Trustee Patty Chybowski told the News-Sun. As a concession, the village will simplify the variance process. A new ordinance is expected this summer.
