ABATEMENT OF OUTDOOR ADVERTISING STRUCTURES (SB 462)
Statement of the Matter
The Carlsbad sign regulations do not permit outdoor advertising
(billboards). Existing billcoards are considered non-conforming,
which means they can't be expanded or replaced. It has been the
intention of the City to abate these non-conforming signs in the
future if they are not voluntarily removed.
Recently the California Supreme Court approved abatement with amori-
tization as a constitutional and lawful means of eliminating non-
conforming uses. Possibly at the suggestion of the outdoor
advertising industry, a bill has been drafted that would require
statewide regulation in the area of outdoor advertisement (SB 462)
The City of El Cajon recently adopted a Resolution opposing EB 462
since they feel statewide regulation of outdoor advertisement would
severely limit the ability of a city to deal with its particular
problems and would constitute an unwarranted interference with
matters of local concern, and an invasion of local police powers.
Your staff agrees with El Cajon's position.

RESOLUTION NO. 5744
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CARLSBAD, IN OPPOSITION TO SENATE
BILL NO. 462, RELATING TO OU'rDOOR ADVERTISING.
WHEREAS, the appearance of a community and the health,
safety and welfare of its inhabitants is solely a matter of local
concern; and
WHEREAS, regulation of outdoor aCvertisement can have?
direct effect on the appearance ·of a community, which thus
impacts the economy and the welfare of its citizens; and
WHEREAS, the antique characteristics of communities through-
out California require individualized zoning treatment; and
WHEREAS, statewide regulation of -~gning and outdoor adver-
tisement cannot adequately deal with lo~al needs; and
WHEREAS, abatement of non-conforming uses through the
exercise of the police power with a period of amortization has
been recognized by municipalities and the courts as a reasonable
procedure for many years; and
WHEREAS, the elimination of said right of cities without
remuneration to the property owner would have a serious adverse
lmpact on the economy of cities desiring to enhance their
environments; and
WHEREAS, the hereinafter proposed legislation would provide
a windfall to one particular type of property owner without any
reasonable justification therefore; and
WHEREAS, the supreme Court of the Stc.te of California has
recently approved abatement.with amortizacion as a constitutional
and lawful means of eliminating non-conforming uses; atd
WHEREAS, senate Bill No. 462 (Zenevich), by requiring state-
wide regulation·in the area of outdoor advertisement would severel
limit the ability of a City to deal with its particular (zoning)
problems and would constitute an unwarranted interference with
mattP.rs of local concern, and an invasion of local police powers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City council of the City of Carlsbad is opposed to
Senate Bill No. 462 (Zenevich) •.
2. That the City Clerk is hereby directed to send copies of this
Resolution to the appropriate representatives in the legislature.
