City of San Jose Sign Ordinance Update, Phase II

FILE NOS: pp20-004 & ER20-054

The proposed project would amend Title 23 (Sign Ordinance) of the San José Municipal Code to 1) allow free-standing billboard structures on freeway-facing non-City-owned sites, and consider building-mounted programmable signage and signs displaying off-site commercial speech on certain non-City owned sites within the Downtown Sign Intensification Zone and the North San Jose Development Policy Area, 2) explore signage on public right-of-way to allow off-premise commercial advertising along public amenities, street furniture, and transit facilities, and 3) evaluate illumination parameters for illuminated and programmable signs.
