ITEM 2 SIGN COMPLIANCE PROGRAM — The City of Santa Clarita adopted
its Sign Ordinance in 1990 to help beautify and reduce competitive
streetscape clutter along the City's roadway corridors. At that time, the
City Council agreed to a nine-year amortization period giving businesses
and property owners the flexibility to fully meet the requirements. In
1999, the City began its Sign Compliance Program to remove the
remaining non -conforming signs. To date, over 97% of businesses comply
with the Sign Ordinance with approximately 65 signs remaining non-
compliant. The City is now ready to begin the final phase of the program
and reach 100% compliance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive presentation and provide input on
the Sign Compliance Program.
