PL26-0057 (Sign Code Update)

The City of Chino is proposing a comprehensive update to Title 16 of its Municipal Code, which governs signs within the city limits. This initiative aims to amend and reorganize multiple chapters of the existing Sign Code to improve clarity, consistency, and enforceability while aligning with current urban development practices and visual standards. The revision seeks to modernize regulations surrounding sign types, sizes, locations, illumination, and permitting procedures to better accommodate commercial and community needs while preserving aesthetic integrity and public safety. The update is being led by the City of Chino’s planning department, with Christopher Cortez, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Although the solicitation is posted as a forecast and not yet open for bidding, the project is anticipated to involve significant planning, public outreach, and technical review to ensure stakeholder input and regulatory compliance. The work will be performed in Chino, California, and reflects the city’s broader commitment to updating land use and development codes to meet evolving urban planning goals. The project will be publicly accessible via the CEQA Net portal for transparency and community engagement.
