Planning Commission Rejects Digital Billboards at Costa Mesa’s Triangle Square
Planning commissioners in Costa Mesa, California, have rejected a proposal to install digital billboards at a shopping center near one of the city’s busiest intersections.
The six commissioners voted unanimously to deny city staff recommendations that favored the billboards over Triangle Square shopping center, after listening for hours to input from dozens of business owners and residents.
Henny Abraham, co-founder of Greater Costa Mesa Republicans (GCMR), called the decision “a great victory for residents.”
“I’m extremely glad our planning commissioners were listening to the residents,” Abraham told The Epoch Times. “We are not LA. We are not like this trendy downtown, you know. We’re not Manhattan and we’re not Las Vegas. … That’s not who we are.”
