Sign Ordinance Update

The Sign Ordinance Update, identified by solicitation number OR 24-0001, involves focused amendments to the El Dorado County Zoning Ordinance, specifically Chapter 130.36. The primary objective is to allow the limited use of digital freestanding and directory signs within the El Dorado Hills Community Region. These updates are supported by a Notice of Determination approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 25, 2026, and are compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act, as confirmed by a Negative Declaration indicating no significant environmental effects. Beyond the El Dorado Hills digital sign updates, the project encompasses broader modifications to the county's sign standards. Key deliverables include the implementation of specific sign standards for the Cameron Park Community Region, updated Community Sign Program requirements for clarity and legal consistency, and new objective development standards for Specific Plan zones. Additionally, the project simplifies sign size calculations and allows for minor area increases in Commercial and Miscellaneous zones. Administrative oversight is managed by the Planning and Building Department, with Karen Garner serving as the primary point of contact.
