In late 2019 the Los Angeles City Council adopted a detailed set of instructions directing Los Angeles City Planning to revise the proposed Citywide Sign Ordinance (Council File # 11-1705). These instructions requested specific amendments to the December 2017 draft ordinance, including but not limited to, the introduction of a new Sign District tier, enhanced sign reduction standards, and changes to off-site sign relocation agreements which prioritizes public property.

In response, City Planning has released a revised draft of the proposed Citywide Sign Ordinance for public comment. The proposed Citywide Sign Ordinance is a comprehensive effort to consolidate and modernize the current sign regulations in the Zoning Code.

Members of the public who wish to submit comments can do so by emailing andrew.pennington@lacity.org. In order for comments to be considered in the staff recommendation report, they must be submitted no later than Friday January 29, 2021. The proposed Citywide Sign Ordinance is tentatively scheduled for consideration by the City Planning Commission in 2021.
