The City is
allowing the use of its visual bandwidth without understanding how much
that bandwidth is worth.  At present, the City of Los Angeles' policy
with regard to off-site signage or billboards is inconsistent. Even as
the City struggles to identify and regulate existing off-site signage,
it moves forward with creative sign districts and signage supplemental
use districts that add new off-site signs.  There are currently at
least three additional supplemental-use signage districts proposed in
Los Angeles. While the City seeks funds from these billboard districts
to realize important community-based projects, off-site signage
advocates justify overturning citywide ordinances limiting billboards
by pointing to the adoption of these same districts.
