Political Signs
Redondo Beach exempts political signs from its regular sign permit process entirely, but only up to 16 square feet per sign, a limit the code ties directly to the federal appellate ruling in Baldwin v. Redwood City. Anything larger loses the exemption and falls under the standard commercial sign permitting rules in Article 6 of the zoning code.
