What this means
Businesses may use reverse-channel or backlit wall signs under the amended ordinance, with white lighting limited to no more than 6500 Kelvin. The council rejected the requested stream-buffer variance because the property could accommodate a house without encroachment. The LHOST resolution starts the local legislative process but does not itself impose a tax.
