Yucaipa, CA Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

The window sign cap in the City of Yucaipa is printed in the sign definitions of the Development Code, Section 812.19080(k). A display sign is an accessory single-faced sign affixed to any type of display window or adjacent to a display window, and display signs cannot exceed 25% of the window area on which the sign is placed. Section 87.0705(k) ties display signs into the area budget: where a maximum overall sign area is specified, the sum of the areas of all wall, roof, or display sign faces is calculated under that section.

Section 87.0705(a) requires appropriate permits and registration before any sign regulated by the chapter is erected, installed, constructed, maintained or allowed in the City. Signs inside a building are exempt under Section 87.0720(b), but only if they are not conspicuously visible and readable from a public street or adjacent properties not under the same ownership, so an interior sign that reads from the street does not qualify for that exemption. Temporary signs have a separate table in Section 87.0735. In non-residential districts, a small board sign is 3 feet to the top, 3 feet wide and 6 square feet at most, is displayed for no more than 30 days no more than three times a year, needs no permit, and is removed outside business hours, with one portable sign per business.

Banner signs are 45 square feet at most, one per street frontage for no more than 60 consecutive days and 180 days in a calendar year, under a temporary flag/banner permit. Signs cannot extend into the public right-of-way or obstruct visibility for ingress and egress under Section 87.0735(a), Additional Notes.
