Costa Mesa planning commissioners on Monday rejected a proposal to install LED billboards at the Triangle Square shopping center, claiming the electronic signs defy the spirit of the city’s sign ordinance and might constitute a special privilege.
The three billboards whose combined area totals nearly 2,600 square feet are part of a planned signing program intended to update the façade of the struggling retail complex, generate ad revenue and bolster tenancy.
