In the City of Los Angeles, land use policy is often controversial, and none more so than the Sign Code, Big Retail and Fast Food.  Please join us for an update by the people who are at the center of making sure the City of L.A. is open for business.

Sign Code

Cindy Starrett will discuss the history of the outdoor advertising lawsuits and give an update on the status of this vital industry in Los Angeles.

Veronica Perez will talk specifically about the onsite sign industry and how the City is looking to manage how you advertise on your own front door.

Fast Food

Vanessa Rodriguez will give a brief update on efforts by the City to use the Zoning Code to implement social policy.

Big Retail – Will your business be the next Walmart?

Glenn Gritzner will talk about a recent effort to block Walmart from opening a Neighborhood Market in Chinatown.  What are the implications for all business in Los Angeles when City Hall tries to change the rules for a legal, by right project.
