Eastvale regulates temporary signs, including garage-sale signs, under Zoning Code Section 120.05.070. Signs placed in the public right-of-way are allowed only from 4 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Sunday, must be 6 sq ft or smaller, no more than 4 feet above grade, and set back at least 20 feet from corners.
Garage-sale and yard-sale signs in Eastvale fall under the temporary sign provisions of Zoning Code Section 120.05.070, which the city applies in a content-neutral way to all temporary signs rather than calling out garage sales by name. The most important rule for residents is the right-of-way standard in Section 120.05.070(e): temporary signs in the public right-of-way (parkways, medians, near streets) may be displayed only during a weekend window that begins at 4:00 p.m. Friday and ends at 7:00 p.m. Sunday. Such signs may be no larger than 6 square feet, no more than 3 feet in either height or width, may stand no higher than 4 feet above grade, and must be placed at least 20 feet from the curved portion of a corner so they do not block sight lines for drivers. Signs on your own private property are subject to the size limits in the sign table and should be removed promptly after the sale. Signs may not be attached to utility poles, traffic signs, or street trees, and the city can remove signs that violate the time, size, or placement rules. Because Eastvale's weekend window neatly covers a typical Saturday garage sale, the practical advice is to put signs out no earlier than Friday afternoon and take them down by Sunday evening, keeping them small and clear of intersections.
Garage-sale signs placed in the right-of-way outside the Friday-Sunday window, oversized signs, or signs stapled to poles or trees can be removed by the city, and repeat violations may draw code enforcement notices.
