Outdoor advertising: exemptions.
Summary
Existing law, the Outdoor Advertising Act, regulates the placement of outdoor advertising displays along highways. Certain exemptions from the regulations of the act are provided, including exemptions for certain on-premise advertising displays that advertise the business conducted, services rendered, or goods produced or sold on the property where the displays are located. This bill would provide an exemption from the regulations of the Outdoor Advertising Act for up to 3 advertising displays located within 1,800 feet of the intersection of State Highway Routes 8 and 111 in the County of Imperial if certain conditions are satisfied. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute.
