Project Status
- Approved by City Council, second reading, on July 19, 2022
Project Description
- The City of Santa Ana Planning and Building Agency is proposing to update the City's current Off-Premise Commercial Advertising Signs ("billboards") ordinance, last updated in 1987, to allow digital billboard displays adjusted to the Interstate 5, State 55, and State Route 22 freeways. The goal of the ordinance is to eliminate nonconforming billboards from the City, particularly in residential zones and other sensitive areas, allow the reconstruction of existing static billboards to digital billboards, and allow the construction of new digital billboards.
