Ordinance 348.4641 - CEQA Exempt - The ordinance is a proposal to amend Sections 19.2 and 19.3 of Article XIX of Ordinance 348 regarding Outdoor Advertising Displays. This amendment allows the owner of an existing display, that complied with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations in effect at the time the display was erected, to apply for a height adjustment if the outdoor advertising display is (1) oriented towards a freeway, (2) within one hundred (100) feet of the nearest edge of the freeway right of way line, and (3) is blocked by a sound wall built by the California Department of Transportation constructed after the outdoor advertising display was fully constructed. This amendment only allows for a height adjustment when all height adjustment standards set forth in the amendment are met. Under the amendment, a height adjustment is not permitted in any other circumstance. If all standards set forth in the amendment are met, a height adjustment shall be granted but the maximum height adjustment shall be no more than what is required to make the display face of the outdoor advertising display completely visible and in no event shall the maximum height exceed forty (40) feet.
