Car Dealership Seeks OK On Electronic Billboard

The Planning Commission will discuss a bright idea along Interstate 580.

The commission will hold a public hearing Tuesday night on a proposal to install an electronic billboard near the westbound I-580 Hopyard Road exit.

The 450-square-foot LED billboard would replace the sign that was erected in 1995. It advertises, among other things, the Dublin Hyundai car dealership below it.

Dublin Hyundai, owner of the billboard, is seeking a conditional use permit to build a new sign.

The car dealership also is asking for approval for new signs at ground level on their property.

City planners have recommended the commission approve the requests.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Dublin Civic Center and is open to the public.
