New California Regs

Bumped into a sign contractor the other day at Chipotle. I couldn't believe my eyes:

He was replacing 35 of these:


With these:


Said the owner of the shopping center was required to update the signs. Unbelievable.

Next time somebody asks me to explain what's wrong with California, I'll just share this story.

I think the problem was that everyone assumed the green sign was sarcastic.

I did a quick google search and couldn't find any relevant regulation to explain the sign change, at least not on the state level.

Tip of the iceberg. I could show you plan check comments I've gotten that make this pale in comparison. I'm all for a better and safer built environment but it really has gotten way, way out of hand regulation-wise. Some municipalities are more understanding than others for sure and focus on bona fide life-safety stuff. Some others are simply well... insane... for lack of a better word.
