Keystone Outdoor Advertising Company - 1273 DeKalb Pike

About this project

Keystone Outdoor Advertising wants to put a single-sided digital billboard in the rear parking lot at 1273 DeKalb Pike in Whitpain Township, facing southbound Pennsylvania Turnpike traffic. The sign would be about 10 by 36 feet on one pole, reaching 59 feet tall, which requires conditional use approval because the township limit is 35 feet. The site is an existing commercial property, and the company would lease a small area of it.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: 59-foot sign height; county defers to township engineer on whether it is the minimum needed for visibility
