Clear Channel Outdoor, requests permission to remove two nonconforming billboards and convert them into one, two-sided, digital billboard. The proposed project is located at 9100 Mid-Cities Boulevard, near the east end of the Birdville ISD Fine Arts/Athletic Complex. The two billboards proposed to be removed are located on the east side of Davis Boulevard; with the first being a 378 square foot sign located approximately 50 feet south of College Circle, and the second being a 378 square foot sign located approximately 500' south of Mockingbird Lane. The applicant has indicated that both sides of the billboard will contain digital faces. The sign will be equipped with all the mandatory fail-safes and automatic dimmers as required by the sign regulations and TxDOT. No variances regarding height or size have been requested. Clear Channel has entered into an agreement with the Birdville Independent School District (BISD) to provide regular BISD-related messages in the billboard's message rotation.
