Livingston Ordinance Committee 10 20 26

The Livingston Parish Council Ordinance Committee met on October 20, 2026, to discuss proposed rules for outdoor advertising and billboards. Representatives of Lamar and Jones Signs described a collaborative proposal intended to establish consistent requirements for billboard size, height, spacing, stacking, and permits. The discussion included a proposed 1,000-foot separation between billboards, separate permits for each sign, and additional state permits along state-controlled roads. Speakers clarified that the proposal would not regulate on-premise business signs and would grandfather existing signs built under prior rules.

A motion to approve the proposal and forward it to the full Parish Council passed unanimously. The ordinance was expected to be introduced on November 5, with adoption tentatively scheduled for November 19. No contracts, vendor awards, spending, or procurement actions were identified; the proposal could affect future billboard operators through new permitting and siting requirements.
