An update from UWCID Executive Director on the Billboard Legislation impacting Howell Mill Rd;
"It turns out that City Council approved the billboard conversion legislation, and even Cn Hillis was not able to convince his fellow council members to remove Howell Mill from the list.
NPU-D Chair Jim Martin had warned that Council sometimes ignores the unanimous staff, NPU, and ZRB recommendations for denial, but this is still a huge disappointment. 

I am talking to an attorney on Monday to ask if there is anything left to be done, but from his email to me today, it sounds like options are slim. Just wanted to share the news and I'll let you know if there is any other angle to pursue. 

Best,
Elizabeth "
The first option was a mayoral veto but CM Hillis confirmed that would not be possible. Next option is to see if the city and billboard company followed procedure exactly according to the law. An open records request has been submitted to check the files.
we'll keep you posted.
