Council File 11-1122 PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to reduce the time cycle of the Off-Site Sign Periodic Inspection Program (OSSPIP).
On December 26,2008, Ordinance No. 180,446 was adopted, creating the OSSPIP. OSSPIP requires a survey of every off-site sign in the City of Los Angeles. Currently, OSSPIP requires inspection of every off-site sign in the City of Los Angeles every three years, payment of a$186 regulatory fee for inspection, and issuance of acertificate of compliance when fees have been paid, inspections have been conducted and the off-site sign structure has been determined to be in compliance with the terms of its permit as described in Section 91.6205.18.2.

The proposed amendments would reduce the inspection cycle to two years, reduce the regulatory fee for inspection to $169.87 and eliminate the necessity of issuing and attaching a certificate of compliance to the off-site sign structure.
