advertising those businesses and activities developed within the
boundary limits of, and as a part of, an individual redevelopment

or is separated only by a public highway or public facilities
developed or relocated for inclusion within the project as a part of
the original redevelopment plan for a period not to exceed 10 years
or the completion of the project, whichever first occurs, after which
Sections 5272 and 5405 apply, unless an arrangement has been made

advertising those businesses and activities developed within the
boundary limits of, and as a part of, any redevelopment agency
project area or areas may, with the consent of the redevelopment
agency governing the project area, be considered to be on the
premises anywhere within the legal boundaries of the redevelopment
agency's project area or areas for a period not to exceed 10 years or
the completion of the project, whichever occurs first, after which

other authorization for the erection of an advertising display
pursuant to this section, shall prepare, adopt, and submit to the
department an application for the issuance of a permit that, at a
minimum, includes a finding that the advertising display would not
result in a concentration of displays that will have a negative
impact on the safety or aesthetic quality of the community. The
department shall only deny the application if the proposed structure
violates Sections 5400 to 5405, inclusive, or subdivision (d) of
Section 5408, or if the display would cause a reduction in
federal-aid highway funds as provided in Section 131 of Title 23 of
the United States Code.

highway where the display is located.
   (4) The governing body of the city, county, or city and county has
adopted ordinances for the display pursuant to Sections 5230 and
5231 for the area where the display will be placed, and the display
meets city, county, or city and county ordinances.
   (5) The display results in a consolidation of allowable displays
within the business center, so that fewer displays will be erected as
a result of the display.
   (6) Placement of the display does not cause a reduction of federal
aid highway funds as provided in Section 131 of Title 23 of the
United States Code.



5275.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the
director may not regulate noncommercial, protected speech contained
