Grace Period Has Ended for Feather Flagsfeather flags
  

As a courtesy to business owners, the City allowed a "grace period" until September 1, 2013 after which all feather flags and temporary portable signs are to be removed from display except those flags/signs displaying a special event sign permit sticker.

 

Businesses that have not removed their feather flags/portable signs risk receiving a Notice of Violation from the Code Enforcement Division. Please call Code Enforcement at (760) 839-4650 if you have questions about this issue.
