Typical Anti-Graffiti Measures in California City Existing Anti-Graffiti Measures The City of Stockton, California "The design shall include an appropriate mix of materials and landscaping subject to the approval of the Director, including materials designed to discourage graffiti (i.e. vines, shrubs with thorns, etc.)." The City of La Mesa, California "Landscaping shall be installed to provide screening of blank building or retaining walls to discourage graffiti. A dense row of trees or vines which will climb to cover blank wall areas shall be utilized. In addition, shrubs which exhibit thorns may also be utilized to inhibit access to the wall area. The landscaping should be designated to provide substantial coverage of the wall within aone-year period after installation." The City of Turlock, California "Design of graffiti attracting surfaces: Developer shall design all graffiti attracting surfaces in a manner which limits or prevents the defacement of such surface with graffiti. Acceptable method of design includes, but is not limited to, the use of landscaping, anti-graffiti materials, and the physical orientation of such structures." The City of Huntington Beach, "Wall/fence design should complement the California project's architecture. Landscaping should be used to soften the appearance of wall surfaces. Walls and fences within front and exterior side yards of commercial sites should be avoided. Unless walls are required for screening or security purposes they should be avoided. Security fencing should incorporate solid pilasters, or short solid wall segments and view fencing. The design of security fencing should be enhanced. Long expanses of fence or wall surfaces should be offset and architecturally designed to prevent monotony. Landscape pockets (12 feet wide by 3 feet deep) should be provided at 70 foot minimum intervals along the wall." ZOA 09-6 E _2p
