Signs of the Times: Mastering Content-Neutral Ordinances

With two US Supreme Court cases dealing with sign regulations since 2015, and lower court cases percolating across the country today, the importance of crafting content-neutral sign codes is essential for communities seeking to balance free expression, legal compliance, and effective local governance. We all know that local regulations cannot be based on a sign’s message, yet many communities still struggle with translating these legal requirements into clear, useful local ordinances. This interactive webinar will equip planners, zoning officials, and code enforcement with the knowledge and tools needed to develop and implement sign codes that are robust, enforceable, and fully compliant with First Amendment standards. Attendees will learn the core legal definitions and take away practical strategies for ensuring their sign regulations are as “content neutral” as possible on their face and in their application. Real-world examples will be explored, highlighting both pitfalls and best practices - from addressing political and directional signs to managing digital signs and murals. Speakers include planners, academics and industry experts who have worked on sign codes across the country. Attendees will also receive a copy of the Sign Research Foundation’s publication on Content-Neutral Sign Codes After Reed and Austin.

Accelerating Housing Supply: State Chapters Take the Lead

In 2023 and 2024 APA partnered with NLC to form the National Housing Supply Accelerator, culminating in the release of the Housing Supply Accelerator Playbook. However, as planners we all know that a one size fits all approach often does not work in the real world. States and local governments all have their own histories, cultures, legal precedents, and politics that make them unique. As planners, we need to find unique solutions that will be most effective in the states and local places where we live and work. Since the completion of APA's national effort, some states have pursued their own state-focused housing supply efforts. Many have formed their own statewide housing supply accelerators. In this panel session we will hear from three states that are pursuing such efforts in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Michigan. Each of these efforts will offer opportunities and challenges that can be helpful to planners and advocates who want to see our housing supply crisis get addressed as soon as possible. Speakers from these three state chapters will share lessons learned from their efforts and provide key insights for those who are working to improve housing supply in their own state, region, or local community.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Ordinances: Solano County, CA Case Study

Since implementing the BESS moratorium in January 2024, the Department of Resource Management has engaged extensively with stakeholders to create comprehensive regulations for BESS projects in unincorporated Solano County. This effort has been guided by the BESS Technical Working Group, which includes local first responders, industry specialists, and community members, along with consultations from national safety agencies and other jurisdictions experienced with BESS. The proposed ordinance carefully balances the advancement of renewable energy goals and the need for strong public safety measures. It is supported by an additional regulatory document developed by the Solano Office of Emergency Services, titled the Battery Energy Storage System Emergency Response Plan Guidance.
