Eastvale, CA Sign Regulations: Freeway-Facing Signs (2026)

Sec. 120.05.070(d)(1)a sets a special standard for freestanding signs located within 660 feet of the nearest edge of a freeway right-of-way line: the maximum sign height is 45 feet and the maximum surface area is 150 square feet, well above the 20-foot height and 50-square-foot area cap that applies to freestanding signs at 'all other locations' under subsection (d)(1)c. Shopping centers get yet another standard, capping surface area at the greater of 50 square feet or 0.25 percent of the center's building floor area, up to a 200-square-foot ceiling, at 20 feet in height.

Beyond individual business signage, subsection (d)(6) separately regulates freeway-oriented electronic billboards. The city allows no more than one such billboard citywide, and it may only be sited along the I-15 freeway beginning at the Highway 60 interchange and extending south approximately 3,794 feet, the stretch federal law allows for this sign type. Design standards and specifications for that single billboard are set individually through a development agreement requiring planning commission and city council approval, rather than through the standard sign permit process. Conventional billboards elsewhere in the city are confined to the C-1/C-P, M-SC, M-M and M-H zones under subsection (d)(5), capped at 25 feet in height and 300 square feet per face, and are barred within 660 feet of a state highway right-of-way without a separate state billboard permit.
