Outdoor advertising: exemption.

Existing law, the Outdoor Advertising Act, provides for the regulation by the Department of Transportation of advertising displays, as defined, within view of public highways. The act exempts from certain of its provisions advertising displays that advertise the business conducted or services rendered or goods produced or sold on the property upon which the display is placed, as specified. This bill would exempt from those provisions of the act 3 advertising displays located within 1,800 feet of the intersection of Interstate 8 and State Highway Route 111 in the County of Imperial if certain conditions are met. This bill would also make legislative findings and declarations as to the need for a special statute relating to the County of Imperial.
