ONLY "persons," which I believe means natural persons, but am not positive, "living" within 500 feet of the offending billboard have any standing to complain.
It is not clear if "renters" have any say, or only the property owners. I assume the latter.
As I read the change, it puts an end to the ability of ANY Community Zoning Committee or similar group to have any kind of "standing" by which to oppose the activities of say, the University to do whatever they want with 40th Street.
This change applies not only to Billboards (who crafted the amendment), but to Stop-and-Gos, rendering plants (which one could build virtually anywhere along Chestnut or Walnut Streets - which are zoned commercial), corner tappies and other similar "popular" establishments.
This one will obviously wind up in the courts.
