§58.0701 Purpose and Intent

It is the purpose and intent of this Division to promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of youth in the City of San Diego by regulating the location of billboards advertising cannabis or cannabis products in areas where youth play and attend school. It is further the intent of this Division to reduce youth exposure to billboards advertising cannabis or cannabis products by establishing additional regulations beyond those provided in state law to include an expanded list of prohibited locations, and criminal and civil consequences for non-compliance. It is not the intent of this Division to supersede or conflict with state law, but to implement a local ordinance allowing the City of San Diego greater ability to enforce restrictions on billboards advertising cannabis or cannabis products to youth to help prevent the illegal consumption and purchase of cannabis or cannabis products by youth.
