Thornton's Incorporated asked the Planning and Zoning Commission to amend the sign regulations so that motor vehicle service stations could use electronic digital (LED) price displays. After a public hearing on July 25, 2017, the Commission voted 6–1 to continue the case to a date not yet set, so that it could get input from the City Attorney and more information from the applicant. These records do not show a later recommendation on the case.

Documented status: Public hearing (recorded in draft minutes), Jul 25 2017. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.
