Redondo Beach exempts political signs from most sign regulations under RBMC 10-5.1804. Political signs may not exceed 16 square feet per sign, a content-neutral size limit the city ties to the Baldwin v. Redwood City decision.
Political signs are addressed in the city's sign regulations as signs exempt from regulation, codified at RBMC 10-5.1804. A political sign may not exceed 16 square feet per sign, a limit the code references to Baldwin v. Redwood City, 540 F.2d 1360. Because political speech is protected, the city does not impose content-based time limits; instead it relies on this size cap and general placement rules. Signs may not be posted on public property, and signs placed in violation give the owner, candidate, or entity that installed them 24 hours after notice to correct the violation before the sign may be removed. A person contesting a removal may request an administrative hearing before the Director of Public Services.
A political sign exceeding 16 square feet, posted on public property, or in the public right-of-way may be removed by the city after the 24-hour notice period; unlawful signs are subject to removal and code enforcement.
