Box 1768 / Newport Beach, CA 92658-8915 949-644-3204 www.newportbeachca.gov General Information The purpose of a Comprehensive Sign Program is to integrate all of a project’s signs, including a project identification sign with the overall site design and the structures’ design into a unified architectural statement. A Comprehensive Sign Program provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for projects that require multiple signs to provide incentive and latitude in the design and display of multiple signs and to achieve, not circumvent, the purpose of Chapter 20.42 (Sign Standards) of the City of Newport Beach Zoning Code. The approval of a Comprehensive Sign Program shall be required whenever any of the following circumstances exist. 1. Whenever 3 or more separate tenant spaces are created or proposed on the same lot; 2. Whenever 3 or more non-exempt signs are proposed for a single-tenant development; 3. Whenever signs are proposed to be located on or above the second story on a multi-story building; 4. Whenever a structure has more than 300 linear feet of frontage on a public street; 5. Whenever an existing multi-tenant development of 3 or more tenants is being remodeled or rehabilitated to the extent that the value of the work will be greater than 20 percent of the replacement cost of the building; 6. Whenever a theater or cinema use requests to deviate from the standards of this Chapter. The Comprehensive Sign Program may allow marquee signs, brighter lights, and design features not otherwise authorized by this Chapter if the sign is generally consistent with the adopted sign design guidelines and the purposes of this Chapter. Approval shall not be based on message content; 7. Whenever the Director determines that a Comprehensive Sign Program is necessary because of special project characteristics (e.g., the size of proposed signs, limited site visibility, a business within a business, the location of the site relative to major transportation routes, etc.); and 8. A Comprehensive Sign Program shall not be used to override the prohibition on new billboards set forth in Section 20.42.030. (F) (General Provisions).
