ORDINANCE NO. 1085

OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SUBSECTIONS
9403B1. AND 9403C1. OF ARTICLE 9, CHAPTER 4
OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATING TO
TEMPORARY SIGNS
The City Council of the City of Tustin finds and determines
as follows:
A. The Sign Code was adopted to maintain and enhance the
quality of the City's appearance by avoiding sign clutter
and to promote the economic opportunities of the City by
permitting effective business identification; and
B. There are some businesses that require special temporary
signage to identify product and service information to
customers; and
C. It has been determined that there is a need to modify the
height limits and time limits for temporary business
banners to provide for greater flexibility; and
D. The subject amendment is in the best interest of the public
health, safety and welfare in that it will maintain
regulation of temporary banner signs.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Tustin does
hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Subsection 9403bl. of Article 9, Chapter 4 is
hereby amended to read as follows:
1. Business Banners
(a) All banners must be fixed to a building and hung
below a roof eave or mounted on poles.
(b) All banners shall be professionally made and
constructed of cloth, canvas, plastic, PVC or
similar material, and have slits for proper wind
resistance, where necessary.
(c) No banner may exceed 32 square feet in area.
(d) One display per building or street frontage, or
in the case of a multi -tenant building, one
display per storefront shall be allowed. As a
substitute for a wall -mounted banner sign, one
pole -mounted banner sign per property street
frontage is permitted.

be construed together in order to accomplish the purpose of
these regulations. If any provision of this Ordinance is held
by a court to be unconstitutional, such unconstitutionality
shall apply only to the particular facts, or if a provision is
declared to be unconstitutional as applied to all facts, all of
the remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall continue to be
fully effective.
