STAFF REPORT
The attached ordinance relating to replacement signs is an
amendment of Section 19.60.2.50 of the San Bernardino Municipal
Code. This section has been amended to clarify the provisions
of the Municipal Code relating to replacement signs. A
replacement sign is an off-premise sign which the City permits
to be built in return for the removal of another off-premise
sign by the sign company.
Subsection B. Paragraph 1. of this ordinance provides that a
sign company may replace an off-premise sign from anywhere in
the City with another off-premise sign placed in certain
designated zones, upon the approval of the Planning
Commission. The Planning Commission may require the removal
of more than one off-premise sign before granting the right to
erect the replacement sign. There is a limitation placed on
the amount of square footage per face of the replacement sign.
Under no circumstances shall the surface area of the face of
the replacement sign be greater than the square footage of the
face of the sign or signs removed.
Subsection B. Paragraph 2. of the ordinance relates to the
specific circumstance where the original sign is to be removed
from a major artery or the Downtown Business District and
replaced with one within 660 feet of the right-of-way of
interstate or primary highways or other freeways. Such
placement is prohibited except under limited circumstances set
forth in the State Business and Professions Code. This
ordinance adopts regulations for the placement of such signs
in the City of San Bernardino which are consistent with said
State Code provisions. The ordinance provides that an
agreement may be executed between the sign company and the
City of San Bernardino through the Mayor and Common Council
for the placement of such a replacement sign. The agreement
shall permit such placement for a period of no longer than ten
years from date of issuance of the building permit for the
replacement sign. In addition, the Mayor and Common Council
may require the removal of more than one sign for the right to
erect the replacement sign. The replacement sign under this
provision is sUbject to the same square footage per face
limitations as set forth in. Subsection B. Paragraph 1.
The ordinance specifically sets forth that all other
provisions of the San Bernardino City Sign Code apply to
replacement signs.
