...Title

Off-Site Advertising and Downtown Sign Intensification.

...Recommendations

As recommended by the Community and Economic Development Committee on November 27, 2017, accept a status report on implementing the work plan to investigate removing existing barriers to off-premise (off-site) commercial advertising on City-owned and non-City-owned sites in the City of San José, and recommend that the City Council direct staff to implement a phased work plan which could allow:

(a)                     New off-site advertising on City-owned sites throughout the City, including exchange of existing legal static billboards on other sites for new electronic billboards on city-owned sites;

(b)                     Exchange of existing legal static to electronic billboards on non-City-owned existing freeway facing sites and new freeway facing sites in the North San José Development Policy Area;

(c)                     New offsite advertising on non-City-owned sites in the Downtown Sign Zone, including exchange of existing legal static billboards on other sites for new electronic billboards in the Downtown Sign Zone.
