Citywide Sign Ordinance

City Planning Department Report to Honorable Members of the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee, Councilmembers Jose Huizar, Gilbert A. Cedillo, and Mitchell Englander:

After the October 2013 release of the proposed citywide sign ordinance and associated reports from the Planning Department and City Attorney’s Office, two issues came to the forefront that warranted further discussion. Those issues are as follows: 1. Concerns around the proposed penalties for violations of off-site sign regulations 2. The question of how to resolve the status of over a thousand existing off-site signs that may fall under the state “rebuttable presumption” law This report details staff’s recommendations on these issues.
