PIGEON FORGE â The city will have a new set of sign ordinances before its moratorium on sign permits ends, after commissioners voted 4-1 Monday to approve the new regulations.
The city first announced its plans for a moratorium at its Feb. 22 meeting, approving it on first reading. The moratorium started on March 8, and with approval of the new ordinances will end April 27.
Commissioner Ken Maples, who had already expressed reservations with the regulations at a workshop, cast the sole dissenting vote against the new regulations.
The ordinances aim to make the cityâs regulations âcontent neutralâ after the old regulations were overturned in court.
