Exhibits Building Partnership authorizing use of the right-of-way for installation of a sign at 2501 Rodeo
Plaza.
DISCUSSION:
Ijaz Ahmad, owner and general partner of Exhibits Building Partnership is requesting permission to install a
sign at 2501 Rodeo Plaza. The building contains lease spaces for retail sales and a radio station. The

business to be represented on the sign. The sign will be installed perpendicular to the building in order to
provide visibility from each end of the block.
Current policy provides that the terms of the consent agreement require the owner to remove the sign if the
business ceases to exist. In addition, all consent agreements shall require any future assignments of the
agreement to be approved by the City Manager.
The Encroachment Committee reviewed this request and recommends approval.
The encroachment will be in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
