Supreme Court voids Sarasota billboard ordinance
The Supreme Court struck down Sarasota’s restriction on standard size billboards, ruling the rule unreasonable and discriminatory. Sunad Inc. challenged the 300 square foot signs on roofs and ground, while wall signs could exceed that size. The court found no constitutional issue and cited beauty claims without defining a protective pattern. Construction began today on a new winter home for Ringling Bros Circus in Venice.
