CHAIRMAN PRESIDING: ATTEST: Celia LaFleur, Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development • -2- PC88175 EXHIBIT "A" CREATE NEW SECTION: 9.50.091 - POLITICAL SIGNS-- The purpose of this section is to prevent damage to public property, protect the integrity of the electoral process and prevent the erosion of aesthetic quality and historic values within the County. It is specifically recognized that if temporary political signs on private property are not removed after the election is held, the deteriorating signs and accumulating debris become a blight, defacing the landscape. It is therefore an intent of this Article to make provision for the erection and removal of such signs after the election which they publicized has been held. Sec. 9.50.091.1 - Political Signs on Private Property- No temporary political sign shall exceed sixteen square feet in area. The aggregate area of all temporary signs placed or maintained on any lot in one ownership shall not exceed eighty square feet. Sec. 9.50.091.2 - Political Sign Registration - In order to keep track of the placement of temporary political signs to assure removal subsequent to an election, such signs shall be registered with the Community Development Department by the candidate or his or her registered agent, or, when a ballot proposition is involved, by an authorized agent of the group or organization sponsoring the signs, prior to the distribution of such signs for the attachment or installation on any property. Registration of political signs shall be on forms available in the Community Development Department and shall be accompanied by an agreement signed by the candidate or his or her authorized agent, or when a ballot proposition is involved, by an authorized agent of the group or organization sponsoring the signs, that within ten calendar days after the election all political signs shall be removed, and a certified statement by the registrant that consent will be obtained from each owner of the property on which a sign is to be posted. Sec. 9.50.091.3 - Location - Political signs may not be affixed, installed, or erected within 100 feet of a polling place or historic site, nor within 660 feet of the edge of a "Scenic Highway" or a freeway, nor in any location where the sign will impair sight distance or create a hazard to traffic or pedestrians, nor on any telephone pole, lamppost, tree, wall, fence, bridge, bench, hydrant, curbstone, sidewalk or other structure in or upon any public right-of-way, nor upon any other public property. Sec. 9.50.091.4 - Enforcement - Except for signs remaining posted after the post-election deadline, any political sign not posted in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be a public nuisance and shall be subject to removal by the candidate, property owner, or, when a ballot proposition is involved, the authorized agent of the group or organization sponsoring the sign or, upon their failure to do so after reasonable attempt at notice by the City, by City officers or zoning inspectors. Any political sign which is not removed within the ten days following an election shall he subject to summary removal and confiscation by the County.
