City of Corona v. AMG Outdoor Advertising, Inc. CA
This is another action in a long line of cases challenging the constitutionality, on First Amendment grounds, of a city’s ban on “off-site” billboards. (See Lamar Central Outdoor, LLC v. City of Los Angeles (2016) 245 Cal.App.4th 610, 614-615 (Lamar).) In 2004, plaintiff, cross-defendant, and respondent, City of Corona (the City), adopted ordinance No. 2729 (the 2004 ordinance), banning the placement anywhere in the City of new “off-site” billboards or “outdoor advertising signs,” regardless of their content, but allowing “grandfathered” billboards (those placed in the City before the 2004 ordinance went into effect) to be relocated in the City pursuant to a relocation agreement with the City.
