Summary

After a brief staff presentation and no public testimony, the council introduced Ordinance No. 1155—amending the municipal code to allow billboards along the 605 freeway corridor—and voted unanimously to introduce the ordinance by title.

City staff presented Ordinance No. 11‑55, an amendment to the municipal code proposing to permit billboards along the Interstate 605 corridor, and the Santa Fe Springs City Council opened and immediately closed the public hearing after no members of the public asked to speak.

Assistant staff member Bobadilla summarized the staff report and asked the council to determine the ordinance was exempt from CEQA and to introduce it by title only. The public hearing produced no speakers.

Councilmember action: A councilmember moved and a second was received to introduce the ordinance. The council voted unanimously in favor, and the ordinance was introduced by title; the council waived further reading and ordered the matter to proceed to the next required reading step.

Why it matters: The ordinance would change the city’s sign regulations for a segment of the 605 corridor and could allow commercial billboard installations subject to conditions established by the new code language and any required permits.

Ending: With no public testimony, the introduction passed with a unanimous vote and will return to the council for subsequent readings or adoption steps per the city’s ordinance procedures.
