Attachment #3
However, such changes would not substantially alter the existing urban character of the area, which is dominated by I-405 and ancillary road guards and fencing. Further, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not block or substantially obscure the distant foothills of the Irvine Regional Park.
Views of the existing pole sign structure and proposed pole-mounted digital sign within the City of Fountain Valley are generally limited to the commercial/industrial areas immediately adjacent the Project site, which provide views similar to those from KVL 3. The New Hope residential area – the nearest residential area to the Project site within the City – is located approximately 2,200 feet north of the Project site near the intersection of Euclid Street and Talbert Avenue. Views of the Project site from this location are completely blocked by intervening buildings. Therefore, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would have no impact of views from this residential area, or other residential areas within the City. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated.
Construction activities associated with the demolition of the existing pole sign structure and construction of the proposed digital sign would be limited to the hours between 7:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday and between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm on Saturday, consistent with City’s requirements codified in the City’s Noise Ordinance (FVMC Section 6.28.070[5]). While not anticipated, if necessary, construction night lighting would be limited and downcast to avoid spillover. Additionally, construction night lighting would be shut off after 8:00 pm and as such would avoid potential disturbance during the late evening hours.
The Project site is located within an urbanized area where exterior lighting is common. For example, downcast streetlights are evenly spaced every 200 feet along Euclid Street.
Additionally, the commercial retail buildings in the vicinity of the Project site have exterior light fixtures and signage. For example, the existing pole sign structure on the Project site includes illuminated elements that can be seen from adjacent roadways including Euclid Street and I405. Similarly, the City’s water tower and nearby utility poles have red aircraft warning lights that are also visible from surrounding areas. However, the greatest source of nighttime lighting in the vicinity of the Project site is vehicle headlights – particularly along the adjacent Euclid Street and I-405.
Lighting associated with the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would be visible to the surrounding land uses, including commercial retail businesses to the north and west, Euclid Street to the east and northeast, Santa Ana River Trail to the east, and I-405 to the south of the Project site. The residential areas to southeast of the Project site within the City of Costa Mesa would be shielded and buffered from the light and glare by I-405 overpass and by existing trees and landscaping, especially those within Moon Park (refer to Figure 5).
Additionally, the louvered technology incorporated into the design of the digital sign would block light spillage from the sign. The mechanical louvers – made of matte-finished black polymer – would absorb the light from the light-emitting diode (LED) and prevent passage in the protected direction (see Appendix C).
To evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign on nighttime views, Watchfire Signs (2018) prepared a photometric study (see Appendix A) based on lab measurements made on the display panels using an illuminance meter. Their measurements were then scaled up to the specifications of the proposed digital sign.
Attachment #3
Light measurements are generally discussed using the foot-candle metric, which is defined as the amount of light produced by a single candle when measured from 1 foot away. For reference, a 100-watt light bulb produces 137 foot-candles at 1 foot away, 0.0548 foot-candles at 50 feet and 0.0137 foot-candles at 100 feet. Based on the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America’s (IESNA’s) standards pertaining to light trespass, impacts would be considered potentially significant if illuminance produced by a digital sign exceeds 0.3 footcandles over ambient lighting conditions at a distance of 250 feet from the lighting source.
Based on the photometric study prepared by Watchfire Signs (2018), the LED displays associated with the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not exceed 0.3-foot candles over ambient levels at 250 feet from the lighting source. Further, it should be noted that with the exception of adjacent commercial retail buildings and the City’s water tower, no other buildings are located within 500 feet of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign. Therefore, residential areas approximately 900 feet to the southeast within the City of Costa Mesa would experience less than 0.0152 foot-candles (i.e., similar to the light from a single 100-watt light bulb viewed from 100 feet away). Therefore, the area would experience a nearly undetectable difference in ambient light with the installation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign (Watchfire Signs 2018).
The proposed Project would be subject to compliance with lighting requirements of OAAA, which sets the standards for the intensity and compatibility for exterior lighting associated with digital signs. To ensure that these standards are met Mitigation Measure (MM) AES-1 and AES-2 would be implemented. Therefore, any potential impacts to nighttime views associated with the proposed Project would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Mitigation Measure AES-1: Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed polemounted digital sign, the Applicant shall submit, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, the following information:
1. Plans or specifications that demonstrate that the proposed pole-mounted digital sign matches the plans that were assessed in the photometric study prepared by Watchfire Signs (2018).
2. Plans or specifications that demonstrate that the proposed pole-mounted digital sign has a form of lighting control that will reduce the lighting output not to exceed 3 percent of the maximum daytime brightness beginning 1 hour before dusk and 1 hour after dawn.
Mitigation Measure AES-2: Within 14 days following the construction of the proposed digital sign, the Applicant shall submit, to the satisfaction of the Direction of Planning and Building, the following information:
1. A third-party test to verify that the digital sign complies with the requirements not to exceed 0.3 foot-candle over ambient light at a distance of 250 feet from the display panels, in accordance with IESNA and OAAA standards. If the value exceeds these industry standards, additional lighting output reduction shall be required until the 0.3 footcandle requirement is satisfied.
II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Attachment #3
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. The Project site is completely developed with commercial buildings and paved surface parking lots. There are no agricultural uses located on or adjacent to the Project site.
The Project site is designated “Urban and Built-Up Land” (California Department of Conservation 2018a). Therefore, the proposed Project would not convert prime, unique, or farmland of statewide importance to non-agricultural use and there would be no impact. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The Project site is zoned as “Specific Plan” and is designated as “Workplace Gateway,” intended to enable high value office development to mix with other uses on freeway adjacent sites. The “Workplace Gateway” land use designation in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan does not permit agricultural use (City of Fountain Valley 2018a, 2018b). Further, the Project site is not in a Williamson Act contract (City of Fountain Valley 2018b). Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with any existing zoning agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract and there would be no impact. c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220[g]), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104[g])? No Impact. As previously described, the Project site is located in an urbanized area. There are no timberlands or forests in the City of Fountain Valley (City of Fountain Valley 2018a, 2018b). Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. Refer to Section II(c).
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in the loss of Farmland, to nonagricultural use? No Impact. The proposed Project would not result in the loss of any farmland, either individually or cumulatively. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
III. AIR QUALITY
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less Than Significant Impact. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is the primary Federal agency responsible for regulating air quality. The USEPA implements the provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), which establishes National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six criteria pollutants: ozone (O3), respirable dust (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead (Pb). The NAAQS are two tiered, including primary air quality standards to protect public health and secondary air quality standards to prevent degradation to the environment (e.g., impairment of visibility, damage to vegetation and property, etc.). The USEPA designates areas with criteria pollutant concentrations that do not meet the NAAQS as nonattainment areas.
States are required by the CAA to prepare State Implementation Plans (SIP) for designated nonattainment areas to demonstrate how these areas would meet attainment of the NAAQS by the prescribed deadlines. Areas that achieve the NAAQS after a nonattainment designation Attachment #3
are redesignated as maintenance areas and must have approved Maintenance Plans to ensure continued attainment of the NAAQS.
The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) established the California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) and required all air pollution control districts in the State to prepare plans to achieve the CAAQS. The districts are required to review and revise these plans every 3 years. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in coordination with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and local jurisdictions, satisfies this requirement for the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) through the publication of an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The AQMP is the most important air management document for the Basin because it provides the blueprint for meeting Federal and State ambient air quality standards.
On December 7, 2012, the 2012 AQMP was adopted by the SCAQMD Governing Board. The primary task of the 2012 AQMP was to bring the basin into attainment with Federal healthbased standards for unhealthful fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 2014. The document states that to have any reasonable expectation of meeting the 2023 ozone (O3) deadline, the scope and pace of continued air quality improvement must greatly intensify.
The 2016 AQMP was adopted by the SCAQMD Governing Board on March 3, 2017. The 2016 AQMP acknowledges that motor vehicle emissions have been effectively controlled and that reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx), the continuing O3 problem pollutant, may need to come from major stationary sources (e.g., power plants, refineries, landfill flares, etc.). The current attainment deadlines for all Federal nonattainment pollutants are now as follows:
Table 1
Federal Attainment Deadlines for Criteria Pollutants
Criteria Pollutant Deadline
8-hour O3 (70 parts per billion [ppb]) 2032
8-Hour O3 (75 ppb) 2024 (old standard)
1-Hour O3 (120 ppb) 2023 (rescinded standard)
Annual PM2.5 (12 micrograms per liter [ 3]) 2025
24-Hour PM2.5 (35 3) 2019
The 2022 AQMP is currently under preparation and will represent a comprehensive analysis of emissions, meteorology, regional air quality modeling, regional growth projections, and the impact of existing and proposed control measures.
The proposed Project does not directly relate to the AQMP in that there are no specific air quality programs or regulations governing the proposed digital sign. Conformity with adopted plans, forecasts, and programs relative to population, housing, employment, and land use is the primary measure by which the severity of impacts from development is determined. The SCAQMD, however, while acknowledging that the AQMP is a growth-accommodating document, does not favor designating regional impacts as less than significant just because a proposed development is consistent with regional growth projections. Air quality impact significance for the proposed Project has therefore also been analyzed on a Project-specific basis.
Attachment #3
Considerable cumulative net increases in air pollutants would not occur as a result of the proposed Project as described below in Section III(b). As described in Section XVII, Transportation, the proposed Project would not generate new or additional vehicle emissions that exceed SCAQMD adopted thresholds. Further, as described in Section VI, Energy, operational energy use associated with the proposed Project would be minimal and would not result in large or wasteful uses of energy. Therefore, the proposed Project would be consistent with the 2016 AQMP and impacts would be less than significant. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutants for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less Than Significant Impact. Cumulative projects include local development (see Table 11) as well as general growth within the region. Construction and operation of cumulative projects could adversely impact local air quality. However, as with most development, the greatest source of emissions is from mobile sources (e.g., vehicle trips) that are generated and/or attracted by local development or general growth within the region.
As described below in Section III(c), neither short-term construction-related emissions, nor long-term operational emissions – including mobile emissions – associated with the proposed Project would exceed SCAQMD emission thresholds. In accordance with the SCAQMD methodology, projects that do not exceed or can be mitigated to less than the SCAQMD emission thresholds are not significant and do not contribute to a cumulative air quality impact.
Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in a considerable contribution to substantial cumulative impacts. This impact would be less than significant. c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant.
Existing Air Quality
SCAQMD has divided the Basin into 38 air-monitoring areas with a designated ambient air monitoring station representative of each area. The Anaheim monitoring station is the closest station to the Project site and measures both regional pollution levels such as photochemical smog (O3), PM10, PM2.5, and NOx. Table 2 provides a 6-year summary of monitoring data for the criteria pollutants from this monitoring station.
The following conclusions can be made from the existing air quality monitoring data in Table 2:
Photochemical smog (O3) levels occasionally exceed Federal and State standards. While O3 levels are still occasionally elevated, they are much lower than 10 to 20 years ago.
Respirable dust (PM10) levels occasionally exceed the State standards with a spike occurring in 2017. The less stringent Federal PM10 standard has not been exceeded in the last 6 years.
Of the years with data available, the Federal fine particulate matter (PM2.5) standard of 35 micrograms per cubic meter ( /m3
) was exceeded less than 1 percent of days with
the expectation of a spike that occurred in 2018.
The localized concentrations of NO2 are very low near the Project site.
Attachment #3
Criteria Pollutant Emission Thresholds
The SCAQMD has developed significance thresholds based on the volume of pollution emitted rather than actual ambient air quality because the direct air quality impact of a project is not quantifiable on a regional scale. The SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) states that any project in the Basin with daily emissions that exceed any of the identified significance thresholds should be considered as having an individually and cumulatively significant air quality impact. For the purposes of this air quality impact analysis, a regional air quality impact would be considered significant if emissions exceed the SCAQMD significance thresholds identified in Table 3.
The SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook also describes that additional indicators should be used as screening criteria to determine the need for further analysis with respect to air quality. The additional indicators are as follows:
A project could interfere with the attainment of the Federal or State ambient air quality standards by either violating or contributing to an existing or projected air quality violation A project could result in population increases within the regional statistical area which would be in excess of that projected in the AQMP and in other than planned locations for the project’s build-out year.
A project could generate vehicle trips that cause a CO hot spot.

Short-Term Construction Impacts
Construction-related activities associated with the proposed Project – including the demolition of the existing pole sign structure and the construction of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign – would generate criteria pollutant emissions. Construction emissions associated with the proposed Project would include emissions from on-site sources (i.e., construction equipment) and off-site sources (i.e., hauling and vendor trucks and worker vehicles). Project construction emissions were estimated by using California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2016.3.2 to identify the maximum daily emissions for each pollutant during construction based on the type and number of pieces of construction equipment necessary to develop the proposed Project and the estimated time to construct the proposed Project (see Appendix B). The estimated construction fleet to develop the proposed Project is shown in Table 4.

As shown in Table 5, peak daily construction emissions would be well below the established SCAQMD thresholds. Due to the limited nature of construction activities in terms of types of equipment, duration of construction, truck trips, and number of construction worker vehicle trips, short-term construction emissions would not violate any air quality standards or contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation. Further, while mitigation measures would not be required to reduce impacts to less than significant levels, standard construction best management practices (BMPs) – consistent with SCAQMD rules – would be implemented to reduce fugitive dust emissions during construction activities, including:
Watering of unpaved surfaces at least twice a day;
Soil and other demolition debris transferred off-site shall be watered sufficiently at a minimum of 2 feet distance between the top of the trailer and the top of the material; Street sweeping shall be initiated if visible dust is deposited upon public paved roadways; and
General contractors shall maintain and operate construction equipment so as to minimize exhaust emissions.
As such, the proposed Project would result in less than significant air quality impacts during construction.

Long-Term Operational Emissions
Operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would require periodic maintenance up to three times per year, resulting in up to 6 vehicle trips per year. These periodic maintenance trips would be similar to existing conditions, since the existing pole sign structure requires periodic maintenance including replacement of signs and lighting. No other operational Attachment #3
activities would occur with respect to the proposed digital sign. Therefore, operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would result in much lower daily maximum emissions than compared to the construction emissions presented in Table 5. Operational emissions over the course of a year would be negligible and would not violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. The long-term operational air quality impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. Sensitive land uses in close proximity to the Project site include Moon Park located approximately 675 feet to the south, residences located approximately 900 feet to the south, and Saint Barnabas Orthodox Church located approximately 1,100 feet to the northeast in the City of Costa Mesa. Additionally, residences are located approximately 2,300 feet to the northwest along Talbert Avenue in the City of Fountain Valley. Localized significance thresholds (LSTs) represent the maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standards. These LSTs have been developed by the SCAQMD based on the ambient concentrations of that criteria pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. LSTs are only applicable to CO, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5. The mass rate look-up tables were developed for each source receptor area (SRA) and can be used on a voluntary basis by public agencies to determine whether or not a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts. The Project site is located is SRA 17, central Orange County. As such, this analysis considers LST thresholds for SRA 17 at a receptor distance of 200 meters (i.e., approximately 656 feet) for a project of 2 acres. The LSTs applicable to the proposed Project are presented in Table 6.

Construction and operational emissions associated with the proposed Project would remain far below the LSTs. As such, surrounding uses – including the sensitive receptors within the cities of Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa – would not be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations. Therefore, both short-term and long-term, impacts to sensitive receptors would be less than significant. d) Result in other emissions (e.g., those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in Section III(c), the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not function as a substantial source of criteria pollutant emissions during construction or operation, including odorous emissions.
Construction-related activities, including exhaust from heavy construction equipment and the application of concrete and/or asphalt over ground disturbed during drilling and trenching Attachment #3
activities may generate minor, temporary odors. However, these odors would be typical of construction activities, not particularly pungent, and temporary, lasting for a period of 2 to 4 weeks. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Would the project:
a) Have substantial adverse effects,
either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate,
sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans,
policies or regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and
Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service? No Impact. The
Project site is located in an
urbanized area with commercial
retail development, paved surface
parking lots, and heavily trafficked
arterial roadways. According to the
California Natural Diversity
Database (2021), the only special
status species within the vicinity of
the Project site are the Southern California Distinct Population Segment of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) associated with the Santa Ana River. The proposed Project would not affect the Santa Ana River. There is minimal vegetation on the Project site and the vegetation that is present is limited to shrubbery and small trees. Therefore, there is no suitable habitat for federally or State listed species or other special status species. The demolition of the existing pole sign structure and the construction of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not require any removal of vegetation that could impact migratory birds. Additionally, due to the presence of I-405 immediately adjacent to the Project site, the contribution of construction-related noise would be negligible and would not impact nesting birds.
Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. b) Have substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or other natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. Refer to Section IV(a). As previously described, the Project site is located in an urbanized area with commercial retail development, paved surface parking lots, and heavily trafficked arterial roadways. There are no riparian habitats or other natural communities on the Project site or in the surrounding vicinity. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filing, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. Refer to Section IV(a). No wetlands exist on the Project site. The Project site is located approximately 180 feet from the Santa Ana River, which is listed as a riverine wetland (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2019). However, this The Project site is fully developed and located in an urbanized commercial area. Vegetation on the Project site is limited to landscaped shrubbery and trees and does not provide
substantial habitat to support special status species.
Attachment #3
watercourse is separated from the Project site by Euclid Street which consists of three northbound and three southbound lanes, cumulatively spanning approximately 85 feet. The Santa Ana River is also channelized with 10-foot-tall levees that protects the surrounding development from flooding. These levees also prevent direct runoff into the concrete river channel. As such, construction and operational activities would not have any direct or indirect impacts on this watercourse. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. Refer to Section IV(a). The Project site is located in an urbanized area with commercial retail development, paved surface parking lots, and heavily trafficked arterial roadways. There is no habitat on the Project site that serves as a migratory wildlife corridor. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? No Impact. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. As such, the proposed Project would not necessitate the removal of any trees or any other surrounding landscaping. No policies or ordinances would apply to the proposed Project pertaining to biological resources. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. The Project site is not located within an area protected by the Orange County Natural Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan (Orange County Transportation Authority 2016). Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? No Impact. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a proposed digital sign in its place. Based on a review of aerial imagery, the existing commercial development was constructed before 1994 and the existing static sign was constructed between 2011 and 2013. As such, the area that would be impacted by excavation of the existing concrete footings and construction of the proposed digital sign has been recently disturbed and is highly unlikely to contain buried prehistoric or historic archaeological resources. Additionally, neither the existing pole sign structure, nor any of the surrounding development is considered a historic built resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Therefore, the implementation proposed Project would result in no impact.
In the unlikely event that previously unknown historic or pre-historic archaeological resources are encountered during construction activities, the Applicant would adhere to CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 14, Section 15064.5), which states that Attachment #3
construction activities would cease in the affected area in the highly unlikely event an archaeological discovery is made. Once the discovery has been evaluated by a qualified archaeologist (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] §800.11.1 and CCR, Title 14, Section 15064.5[f]), and if the resource is found to not be significant, the work can resume. If the resource is found to be significant, it shall be avoided or shall be treated consistent with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or State Historic Resource Preservation Officer Guidelines.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource as defined in §15064.5? No Impact. Refer to Section V(a). c) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outsides of formal cemeteries? No Impact. Refer to Section V(a). The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. As previously described, based on a review of aerial imagery, existing commercial development was constructed before 1994 and the existing pole sign structure was constructed between 2011 and 2013. The Project site and the surrounding vicinity have been developed as commercial retail since before 1994. The Project site is not known to have been used as a cemetery in the past. In addition, the Project site is not known to have any buried archaeological resources or other signs of pre-historic habitation that would suggest human remains may be present on the property (City of Fountain Valley 2014). Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
In the unlikely event that human remains are found during construction, those remains would require proper treatment, in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5-7055 describe the general provisions for human remains. Specifically, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 describes the requirements if any human remains are accidentally discovered during excavation of a site. As required by State law, the requirements and procedures set forth in California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 would be implemented, including notification of the County Coroner, notification of the NAHC, and consultation with the individual identified by the NAHC to be the “most likely descendant.” If human remains are found during excavation, the excavation must stop in the vicinity of the find and in any area that is reasonably suspected to contain remains adjacent to the find, until the County Coroner has been called, the remains have been investigated, and appropriate recommendations have been made for the treatment and disposition of the remains.
VI. ENERGY
Would the project:
a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant Impact. See Section VIII, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Section XIX, Utilities and Service Systems. Construction-Related Energy Consumption Heavy-duty construction equipment associated with excavation, trenching, paving, and installation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign is described in Table 4 For the purposes of this assessment, it is assumed that the construction equipment would be diesel-fueled and Attachment #3
construction activity would occur over a 4-week period, during which the maximum of 10 construction workers would be present on the Project site (refer to Section III, Air Quality).
The transportation fuel required by construction workers to travel and from the Project site would be dependent on the total number of worker trips estimated for the duration of the construction activities. The State-wide average fuel economy for all vehicle types (i.e., automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles) in the year 2021 is estimated at 18.78 miles per gallon (Caltrans 2008). This assessment assumes that each construction worker would commute an average of 20 miles a day to and from the Project site. Therefore, a construction worker vehicle is estimated to consume approximately 1.07 gallons of gasoline per day. Assuming the maximum 10 workers are employed 6 days a week for the 4-week duration of construction activities, the fuel used by construction workers commuting to the site would be approximately 128.5 gallons of gasoline and would be a negligible contribution to the State-wide transportation gasoline consumption (Energy Information Administration 2020).
Construction equipment fuels (e.g., diesel, gasoline, natural gas, etc.) would be provided by local or regional suppliers and vendors. Given the limited scope of the construction activities, construction equipment fuel use would be minimal. Electricity would be supplied by the local utility provider (e.g., SoCal Edison) via existing connections on or adjacent to the Project site.
A temporary water supply, primarily for fugitive dust suppression and street sweeping, would also be supplied by the local water provider.
Electricity used during construction to provide temporary power for lighting and electronic equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) inside temporary construction trailers and for outdoor lighting when necessary for general construction activity would generally not result in a substantial increase in on-site electricity use. Electricity use during construction would be variable depending on lighting needs and the use of electric-powered equipment and would be temporary for the duration of construction activities. Therefore, electricity use during construction would generally be considered negligible.
Energy Conservation: Regulatory Compliance
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has adopted an Airborne Toxic Control Measure to limit heavy-duty diesel motor vehicle idling in order to reduce public exposure to diesel particulate matter and other Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs). Compliance with the above anti-idling and emissions regulations would result in a more efficient use of constructionrelated energy and minimize or eliminate wasteful and unnecessary consumption of energy.
Anticipated Energy Consumption
Based on the CEQA-compliant Initial Study for a similarly sized digital sign with LED lighting in the City of Baldwin Park, it is estimated operation of the proposed Project would generate a demand for electricity of approximately 6,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month, or 78 MWh annually (City of Baldwin Park 2017). The annual energy use of a digital sign can range from 50 to 320 MWh, placing the proposed Project on the lower end of that range (Young 2010).
The proposed Project would not engage in activities that result in the use of large amounts of energy or use of energy in a wasteful manner.
The proposed Project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources and impacts would be less than significant.
Attachment #3
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? No Impact. The proposed Project would be required to comply with all applicable Federal and State energy requirements. Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct an energy plan and there would be no impact. VII. GEOLOGY AND SOILS Would the project:
a) Directly or indirectly cause substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? (Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.) No Impact. The Project site is not located within a State-designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone for surface fault rupture hazards (California Department of Conservation [CDC] 2018a). The closest known faults to the Project site are the BolsaFairview fault – located within the Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault
zone – approximately 3.6 miles to the
southwest of the Project site and the San
Joaquin Hills thrust fault, the head of
which begins approximately 620 feet to
the southwest of the Project site (CDC
2018a; U.S. Geological Survey [USGS]
2020). Neither the San Joaquin Hills
thrust or Newport-Inglewood-Rose
Canyon fault have experienced
displacement within the past 200 years.
The Bolsa-Fairview fault is Late
Quaternary, meaning it has experienced
displacement during the last 130,000
years. Similarly, the San Joaquin Hills
thrust fault is Latest Quaternary, meaning
it has experienced displacement within
the last 15,000 years (USGS 2020). The proposed Project is limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. There are no large building footprints or linear project elements (e.g., streets, sidewalks, etc.) that could be bisected by an existing fault. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. Nevertheless, as discussed in Section VII(a)(ii), the proposed Project could be subject to moderate to strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake along nearby or more distant faults.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact. Because the Project site is located in the seismically active region of Southern California, there is the potential for strong ground motion. As with all projects in the City of Fountain Valley, the proposed Project would comply with the CBC, including all applicable standards related With the exception of a small corner of the existing
commercial retail building, the proposed polemounted digital sign would be located more than 100 feet from any habitable buildings.
Attachment #3
to seismicity. Further, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not be located immediately adjacent to any habitable structures. With the exception of a small corner of the existing commercial retail building, no habitable buildings occur within the 100-foot radius. Therefore, there would be a limited potential for direct or indirect impacts related to seismicity (e.g., damage to adjacent structures). Overall, the impacts related to seismic ground shaking associated with the proposed Project would be less than significant. iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. Liquefaction is a phenomenon when loose, saturated, relatively cohesionless soil deposits lose their shear strength during strong ground motions. The primary factors controlling liquefaction include intensity and duration of ground motion, gradation characteristics of the subsurface soils, in-situ stress conditions, and the depth to groundwater. Liquefaction is typified by a loss of shear strength in the liquefied layers due to rapid increases in pore water pressure generated by earthquake accelerations.
The City’s General Plan recognizes the very high potential for liquefication due to the high groundwater level (i.e., 10 feet bgs or less) throughout the City (City of Fountain Valley 1995). The Safety Element describes the high risk of liquefaction in locations south of I-405 and along the Santa Ana River channel, with a buffer of approximately 0.25 miles (City of Fountain Valley 1995). The area north of I-405 is identified by the City as having a moderate or unknown liquefaction risk. Although the Project site is located immediately north of I-405, which, according to these risk designations places it at a moderate or unknown risk, the Project site is also immediately west of the Santa Ana River, thereby increasing its risk of liquefaction. The Project site is located in an area that is mapped as potentially liquefiable by the California Geologic Hazards Map (CDC 2018b).
Nevertheless, as demonstrated by the existing commercial/industrial development in the area, the Project site is capable of supporting development, including the existing 59-foottall pole sign structure, which was constructed between 2011 and 2013. As with this existing development, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would comply with the CBC, including all applicable provisions related to potentially liquefiable soils. To ensure that the potential for adverse effects involving ground failure and liquefaction are reduced to a less than significant level, the proposed Project would be required to implement the following mitigation measure:
Mitigation Measure GEO-1: Prior to final design approval and the issuance of a building permit, a geotechnical investigation shall be conducted. The Applicant shall submit, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, a Geotechnical Report that describes issues related to instability, ground-failure, and liquefaction. Where geotechnical hazards are found to exist, appropriate engineering design and construction measures shall be incorporated into the final design of the proposed Project.
Any potential impacts related to instability, ground-failure, and liquefaction would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
iv. Landslides? No Impact. The Project site and the developed land adjacent to and surrounding the Project site are relatively flat and are not located within a State-designated landslide zone (CDC 2018c). There are no hills, slopes, or other steep topographic relief features either on or adjacent to the Project site that could result a landslide. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
Attachment #3
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact.
The Project site is located in an urbanized area that is completely developed with commercial buildings and paved surface parking lots. Implementation of the proposed Project would involve minor ground disturbance (i.e., excavation and trenching) during demolition of the static sign and construction of the proposed digital sign. The City would require the Applicant to install and maintain all applicable City-required, short-term soil erosion control measures necessary to reduce and minimize soil erosion impacts throughout the 2- to 4-week duration of construction activities. The City has standard soil erosion protection measures that the Applicant would be required to install and maintain throughout excavation and construction to minimize off-site soil erosion such as use of straw waddles, check dams, riprap, or other devices, as approved by the Building Official and/ or Director of Public Works (FVMC Section
18.06.100). With the implementation of all applicable short-term soil erosion control measures potential soil erosion impacts would be less than significant. c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. Refer to Section VII(a)(iii). With the implementation of MM GEO-1, hazards related to geologic instability would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. Refer to Section VII(a)(iii). With the implementation of MM GEO-1 hazards related to geologic instability would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a new digital sign in its place. The proposed Project would not involve the construction of habitable buildings or otherwise require the installation of a septic tank or alternate water disposal system. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? No Impact. As described in Section V(a), the proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. Based on a review of aerial imagery, the existing commercial development was constructed before 1994 and the existing pole sign structure was constructed between 2011 and 2013. As such, the area that would be impacted by excavation of the existing concrete footings and construction of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign has been recently disturbed and is highly unlikely to contain paleontological resources.
Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project would result in no impact. Nevertheless, if paleontological resources are encountered during the course of construction, the City shall halt or divert work and notify a qualified paleontologist who shall document the discovery as needed, evaluate the potential resource, assess the significance of the find, and develop an appropriate treatment plan in consultation with the City.
Attachment #3
VIII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? Less Than Significant Impact. “Greenhouse gases” (GHGs; so called because of their role in trapping heat near the surface of the Earth) emitted by human activity are implicated in global climate change, commonly referred to as “global warming.” GHGs contribute to an increase in the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere by transparency to short wavelength visible sunlight, but near opacity to outgoing terrestrial long wavelength heat radiation in some parts of the infrared spectrum.
The principal GHGs are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), O3, and water vapor. For purposes of planning and regulation, CCR, Title 14, Section 15364.5 defines GHGs to include CO2, CH4, N2O, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. These gases have different potentials for trapping heat in the atmosphere, called global warming potential (GWP). For example, 1 pound of CH4 has 21 times more heat capturing potential than 1 pound of CO2. When dealing with an array of emissions, the gases are converted to carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) for comparison purposes.
In response to the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 97, the California Natural Resources Agency developed guidelines for the treatment of GHG emissions under CEQA. These new guidelines became State law in March 2010 as part of CCR, Title 14. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.4 specifies how the significance of GHG emissions is to be evaluated.
Emissions may be quantitative, qualitative, or based on performance standards. The CEQA Guidelines allow the lead agency to “select the model or methodology it considers most appropriate.”
SCAQMD designates a threshold of 1,400 MT CO2e/yr for commercial projects, which has been used as a guideline for the GHG analysis for the proposed Project (SCAQMD 2010).
Construction GHG emissions associated with the proposed Project are primarily associated with use of off-road construction equipment, on-road hauling and vendor truck trips, and worker vehicle trips. As with the energy analysis in Section VI, Energy for the GHG analysis, the proposed Project is conservatively assumed to be constructed within over a period of 4 weeks.
Table 7 presents construction-related GHG emissions for the proposed Project in 2020 from on-site (i.e., construction equipment) and off-site emission sources (i.e., hauling and vendor trucks and worker vehicles). Estimated construction GHG emissions would be well below the SCAQMD threshold of 1,400 MT CO2e/yr for commercial projects, therefore the GHG impacts from construction associated with the proposed Project would be less than significant. Table 7 Estimated Construction GHG Emissions (MT CO2e/yr)
Construction Year MT CO2e/yr
2023 15.27
SCAQMD Threshold 1,400
Significant? No

Attachment #3
Project Operational GHG Emissions
Operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would require periodic maintenance up to 3 times per year, resulting in up to 6 vehicle trips per year (refer to Section III[c]). These periodic maintenance trips would be similar to existing conditions, since the existing pole sign structure requires periodic maintenance including replacement of signs and lighting.
The primary source of new operational GHG emissions would be attributed to electricity consumption of the proposed Project. However, based on the CEQA-compliant Initial Study for a similarly sized digital sign in the City of Baldwin Park, GHG emissions associated with electricity use would be nominal (i.e., less than 1.0 MT CO2e/yr) (City of Baldwin Park 2017).
Therefore, operational GHG emissions would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of 1,400 MT CO2e/yr and impacts would be less than significant. b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Less Than Significant Impact. The City does not have an adopted Climate Action Plan. However, as described in Section VIII(a), the proposed Project would not have a significant increase in either construction or operational GHG emissions. During operation, the proposed Project is estimated to generate less than 1.0 MT CO2e/yr, which would not exceed the SCAQMD threshold of 1,400 MT CO2e/yr for commercial projects. Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. The proposed project would, not preclude or obstruct the State's GHG reduction goals established by AB 32 and impacts would be less than significant.
IX. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would include the temporary use of heavy construction equipment that would be fueled or serviced using oils, grease, or diesel. While such materials are not acutely hazardous and would not occur in large quantities, implementation of the proposed Project would introduce hazardous materials, and by extension, risk of accidental spills or leaks. The presence of construction-related hazardous materials would be temporary, occur in minimal amounts, and all storage, handling, use and disposal of these materials are regulated by Federal, State, and local regulations. Compliance with all applicable required standards would ensure that potential impacts related to hazardous materials would be less than significant. b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? No Impact. As described above in Section IX(a), the proposed Project would not create a significant hazard to the public. Operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not create or release hazardous materials into the environment. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would have no impact. c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less Than Significant. No schools are located within a 0.25-mile radius of the Project site. The nearest schools are California Elementary School and TeWinkle Middle School, located Attachment #3
approximately 0.67 miles southeast of the Project site in the City of Costa Mesa, and Cox Elementary School, located approximately 0.74 miles northwest of the Project site in the City of Fountain Valley. The area north of I-405 within a 0.25-mile radius of the Project site is designated as “Workplace Gateway” in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan, intended to enable high value office development to mix with other uses on freeway adjacent sites.
Therefore, no schools are currently proposed or likely to be proposed in the future. The area to the south of I-405 within 0.25 mile of the Project site is already developed with industrial, residential, and public/institutional land uses and is therefore unlikely to be occupied by a school in the future. None of the activities associated with the construction or operation of the proposed Project would impact nearby schools. Hazardous materials such as diesel fuel, lubricants, and paints would be stored and used at the Project site during construction.
However, these hazardous materials would be stored in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations during construction of the proposed Project would ensure that potential impacts would be less than significant. d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or environment? No Impact. The Project site is not listed as a hazardous material site on the “Cortese” list pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (Department of Toxic Substance Control 2020). Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people working or residing in the project area? No Impact. The closest airport to the Project site is John Wayne Airport, which is a public use, general aviation airport, located approximately 4 miles east of the Project site. The Project site is located outside of the John Wayne Airport Influence Area (Airport Land Use Commission for Orange County [ALUCOC] 2005, 2008) and would not result in safety hazards or excessive noise for construction workers or maintenance workers at the Project site, therefore, the proposed Project would have no impact. f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? No Impact. Construction staging and equipment laydown areas would be located within the paved surface parking lot within the Project site (i.e., outside of the public right-of-way) and would not impair or otherwise physically interfere with the circulation of surrounding roadways, including accessibility of emergency response vehicles and/or passenger vehicles using the surrounding roadway network in the event of an emergency or evacuation. Similarly, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would replace the existing static sign and would not affect or otherwise encroach on the surrounding roadways.
Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? No Impact. There are no designated wildland hazard severity zones in the City of Fountain Valley (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection [CalFire] 2007, 2011; see Section XX, Wildfire). Therefore, the implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
Attachment #3
X. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less Than Significant Impact. As part of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the USEPA has established regulations under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program to control direct storm water discharges. In California, the State Water Regional Control Board (SWRCB) administers the NPDES permitting program and is responsible for developing NPDES permitting requirements. The NPDES program regulates industrial pollutant discharges, which include construction activities. The Project site is located within the Santa Ana River watershed and falls under the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB). The SARWQCB provides a Stormwater Quality Control Plan (SQCP), which outlines water quality objectives and regulates waste discharges. Thus, development compliant with the SQCP would not exceed limitations of receiving waters and would not conflict with water quality standards.
Further, the City has established standards and regulations for the management of stormwater in the FVMC. Pursuant to FVMC Section 18.06.100, the proposed Project is subject to erosion control provisions imposed by the City’s NPDES Permit (FVMC Section
18.06.100). Under FVMC Section 21.18.120, the proposed Project would be subject to compliance with the CWA, the City’s NPDES Permit, Orange County’s Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) and the City’s Local Implementation Plan (LIP). Under the LIP, the proposed Project must implement low impact development (LID) BMPs to reduce runoff and minimize potential impacts to hydrology and water quality.
Construction of the proposed Project would involve use of heavy construction equipment during excavation and trenching. As previously described, it is anticipated that excavation would occur over an approximate 7- by 7-foot area. Such activities could potentially generate silt and pollutants However, the Project site is separated from the Santa Ana River by a distance of 180 feet and Euclid Street, which consists of three northbound and three southbound lanes, cumulatively spanning approximately 85 feet. The 10-foot-tall levees that form the banks of the channelized river prevent direct runoff from adjacent properties. Further, the proposed Project would implement standard construction BMPs (e.g., applying water to prevent or alleviate dust nuisances, street sweeping and vacuuming, etc.). Therefore, the risk of stormwater pollution during construction activities would be minimal. Following the completion of construction, operation of the proposed digital sign would not constitute a substantial new source of pollutants to storm water runoff. Therefore, impacts to water quality would be less than significant. b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? No Impact. The proposed Project is limited to the demolition of the existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. Construction and operation of the proposed Project would have no impact on groundwater demands and would not interfere with groundwater recharge. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner, which would:
Attachment #3
i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is relatively flat and characterized by existing commercial retail development and paved surface parking lots. The existing drainage patterns on the Project site would be maintained following completion of the proposed Project; therefore, existing flows would not be impacted. No natural drainage systems (i.e., stream or river) exist on-site. Implementation of the proposed Project would not alter flows of the Santa Ana River, which is located approximately 180 feet west of the Project site. Construction activities would involve minor grading and re-paving of previously disturbed surface areas.
However, ground disturbance would be limited to and area of approximately 50 sf; therefore, the potential for erosion or siltation during construction would be minimal.
Additionally, implementation of the standard BMPs discussed in Section X(b) would further reduce potential for adverse impacts. Repaving would only occur over areas with existing pavement; therefore, the net coverage of impervious surface area on or surrounding the Project site would not increase, and surface runoff flows would not increase. Since the proposed Project would neither generate additional runoff, nor alter the course of any downstream watercourses, impacts would be less than significant. ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off site? No Impact. As discussed in Section X(c)(i), the proposed Project would not significantly increase the amount of runoff generated from the Project site. Following the installation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign, the existing impervious surface area at the Project site would remain unchanged. The construction of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff or contribute to potential exceedances in the capacity of the existing storm drain system. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
iii. Create or contribute runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? No Impact. As described in Sections X(c)(i) and (ii), the proposed Project would not be a substantial source of pollutants, increase impervious surface cover, or increase the rate or amount of surface runoff during or following the completion of construction activities. Therefore, the construction of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not exceed the capacity of, or otherwise impact, the existing storm drain system. Further, as discussed in Section X(a), the installation of on-site BMPs during construction would further reduce the potential for the discharge of pollutants from the Project site into the existing off-site storm drain system in compliance with the SQCP.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. iv. Impede or redirect flood flows? No Impact. Refer to Sections X(c)(i) and (ii). d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation. Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is located in a moderate flood hazard area, as designated by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps (FEMA 2019). However, the Project site is protected from the 100-year flood due to existing levees forming the banks of the channelized Santa Ana River. The Project site is approximately
4.69 miles from the Pacific Ocean and approximately 23 feet above mean sea level. The Project site is not mapped within a Tsunami Inundation Area (CDC 2009). The City’s General Plan recognizes seismic seiches as potential hazards to the City due to the large wastewater collection and treatment center (located approximately 0.2 miles southwest of the Project site), associated waste water pipelines, two 5-million-gallon storage and distribution reservoirs (the Attachment #3
nearest of which is located approximately 380 feet south of the Project site), and other water storage tanks located within the City (City of Fountain Valley 1995, 2016). However, as descried in Section IX, Hazards and Hazardous Materials construction and operation of the proposed digital sign would not introduce or generate acutely hazardous materials or pollutants. Therefore, potential impacts associated with the proposed Project would be less than significant. e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. No Impact. The City of Fountain Valley has an adopted Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). The UWMP provides a detailed summary of present and future water resources and provides an assessment of the City of Fountain Valley’s water resource needs. The UWMP provides water supply planning for a 25-year planning period in 5-year increments and identifies water supplies needs to meet existing and future demands.
The City gets its water from three main sources, recycled water from Orange County Water District’s Green Acres Project, local well water from the Lower Santa Ana River Groundwater Basin, and imported water from the Municipal Water District of Orange County (City of Fountain Valley 2016).
The UWMP analyzed the future water demand for the City based on land use type, including single-family, multi-family, commercial, institutional, industrial, etc. The UWMP also analyzed its future water supply based on the reliability of its existing sources of water including groundwater, MWD, recycling, etc. The proposed Project would not create a demand on the existing water supply described in the UWMP. Additionally, the proposed Project would not affect percolation of runoff into soils surrounding the Project site or otherwise alter recharge of the local groundwater. Therefore, implementation of proposed Project would not affect the UWMP and would have no impact.
Attachment #3
XI. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established
community? No Impact. The
Fountain Valley Crossings Specific
Plan Area is located in the southeast
area of the City, immediately north of
I-405 and west of the Santa Ana
River. The Project site is designated
as “Workplace Gateway” in the
Fountain Crossings Specific Plan,
intended to enable high value office
development to mix with other uses
on freeway adjacent sites. The
Project site is also located within the
“Activity Core” overlay, which is
intended to offer commercial goods
and services as well as community
services that cater to the immediate
district as well as the City and surrounding area (City of Fountain Valley 2018). The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. The proposed pole-mounted digital sign is an ancillary structure that would not impair or physically interfere with the existing land use designation or the circulation of surrounding roadway network, bicycle facilities, or pedestrian facilities. Therefore, the proposed Project would not physically divide an established community and would have no impact. b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is located in an urbanized area designated as “Commercial Manufacturing” by the City’s General Plan (City of Fountain Valley 1995) and zoned as “Specific Plan” under the Fountain Valley Zoning Ordinance (FVMC Title 21; City of Fountain Valley 2019). The Project site is designated as “Workplace Gateway” in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan, intended to enable high value office development to mix with other uses on freeway adjacent sites. The Project site is also located within the “Activity Core” overlay, which is intended to offer commercial goods and services as well as community services that cater to the immediate district as well as the City and surrounding area (City of Fountain Valley 2018).
General Plan Consistency
General Plan goals relating to “Commercial Manufacturing” prioritize the accommodation of light industrial uses and office space. Service and retail uses that are supportive of these primary uses are also permitted in areas designated as Commercial Manufacturing. The General Plan also prioritizes local economic development within the City. The proposed polemounted digital sign would support such goals by providing advertisements for on- and offsite businesses, including local businesses within the City of Fountain Valley. The unique location of the proposed digital sign along I-405 would enhance the overall visibility of the City and provide advertisements to local and non-local commuters. In addition, in accordance with The Project site is located within an area designated as Specific Plan and supports commercial business. The
introduction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not be inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Attachment #3
the Development Agreement, the proposed digital sign would promote public benefits and events as well as aid public safety and health by displaying amber alerts and public notices for the police and fire department during emergency events when widespread public alerts are needed. As such, the proposed Project would be consistent with the City’s General Plan.
Zoning and Specific Plan Consistency
The Project site is zoned as “Specific Plan” under the Fountain Valley Zoning Ordinance (FVMC Title 21; City of Fountain Valley 2019). The “Specific Plan” zoning districts are intended to address specific areas within the community that warrant a comprehensive set of land use policies and standards designed for the unique features of the area. Areas designated as a “Specific Plan” shall adhere to standards adopted within the applicable specific plan to address specific site constraints and opportunities, including buffering, traffic, noise, and other land use compatibility impacts (FVMC 21.12.020[3]).
Land use and development at the Project site is regulated by the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan (City of Fountain Valley 2018a). The Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan Area is further organized by four districts: Mixed Industry District, Workplace Gateway District, Workplace Neighborhood District, and Other. The Project site is designated as “Workplace Gateway” and is also located within the “Activity Core” overlay (City of Fountain Valley 2018a).
Uses permitted within the “Workplace Gateway” segment include retail, civic and cultural, workplace, and lodging. The “Activity Core” overlay is defined as retail cluster consisting of eating and drinking establishments, convenience uses, small-scale shopping, and personal services that provide goods and services amenities to nearby district workers/residents and nearby neighborhoods.
Under the proposed Project, Section 2.9 would be amended by the City to allow for the display of off-site advertising within a limited area between I-405 mile marker 12.41 and 12.50.
Caltrans regulates the placement of outdoor advertising displays visible from California Highways. According to California Business and Professions Code Section 5216, development of outdoor advertising displays is prohibited in areas designated as “landscaped freeway” (Caltrans 2020a). The Project site – between I-405 mile marker 12.41 to 12.50 – is the only area in the City of Fountain Valley along I-405 that is not designated as a “landscaped freeway” by Caltrans. Therefore, the proposed amendments would allow for the development of a single digital sign on the Project site and would not facilitate the development of similar signage within other properties or areas of the City.
The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. The proposed polemounted digital sign is an ancillary structure that would not impair or physically interfere with the existing land use designations under the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed pole-mounted digital sign the Applicant would enter into a Development Agreement with the City. As a part of the proposed Project, the Applicant shall implement measures described in the Development Agreement, including but not limited to compliance with the standards adopted by the OAAA regarding lighting. As such, the proposed Project would not cause adverse environmental effects. With the City’s adoption of the proposed amendment to Section 2.9, the proposed Project would have a less than significant impact.
Attachment #3
Outdoor Advertising Act Compliance
Pursuant to the Federal Highway Beautification Act (1965) and State Outdoor Advertising Act (2014), Caltrans is responsible for regulating the placement of outdoor advertising displays visible from California Highways and performing regular reviews of outdoor advertising displays located adjacent to freeways and highways identified on the National Highway System. Due to the proximity of the Project site to I-405, the Applicant would be required to obtain an Outdoor Advertising Permit from the Caltrans pursuant to the Outdoor Advertising Act. To obtain a permit, the displays must meet the following Caltrans general guidelines:
Display Location
Must be outside the right of way of any highway.
Must be outside of any stream, or drainage channel.
There must be an existing business activity within 1,000 feet of proposed display location on either of the highway.
Location of property where display is to be placed must be zoned industrial or commercial.
Must have current property owner consent, in writing, to place the display at desired location.
Location may not be adjacent to a landscaped section of a freeway.
Location may not be adjacent to a scenic highway.
Display
Display must be 500 feet from any permitted display on same side of any highway that is a freeway.
Display must be 300 feet from any other permitted display on same side of any primary highway that is not a freeway and is within the limits of an incorporated city.
According to California Business and Professions Code Section 5216, development of outdoor advertising displays is prohibited in areas designated as “landscaped freeway” (Caltrans 2020a). The Project site – between I-405 mile marker 12.41 to 12.50 – is the only area in the City of Fountain Valley along I-405 that is not designated as a “landscaped freeway” by Caltrans. Therefore, the City’s adoption of the proposed amendments to the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan and the FVMC would allow for the development of a single digital sign on the Project site and would not facilitate the development of similar signage within other properties or areas of the City.
With the adoption of the proposed amendments by the City and the issuance of an Outdoor Advertising Permit by Caltrans, the proposed Project would be consistent with land use regulations and policies and impacts would be less than significant. XII. MINERAL RESOURCES Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? No Impact. According to the Program EIR for the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan there are no known mineral resources or associated operational mineral resource recovery sites within the Project site or in the surrounding vicinity (City of Fountain Valley 2018b). The City’s General Plan does not identify any locally important minerals either within the Project site or in the surrounding vicinity Attachment #3
(City of Fountain Valley 1995). Further, there are no mining activities either on or adjacent to the Project site. Therefore, with regard to mineral resources, the proposed Project would have no impact. b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact.
Refer to Section XII(a).
XIII. NOISE
Would the project:
a) Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance or applicable standards of other agencies? Less Than Significant Impact. Noise is typically defined as unwanted sound that interferes with normal activities or otherwise diminishes the quality of the human or natural environment. The ambient noise environment typically includes background noise generated from both near and distant noise sources. These can vary from an occasional aircraft overhead or an occasional train passing by to continuous noise from sources such as consistent vehicle traffic along a major road and/or pedestrian activity within open space recreational areas or other places where people congregate.
Sound is technically described in terms of the loudness (i.e., amplitude) and frequency (i.e., pitch) of the sound. The standard unit of measurement of the loudness of sound is the decibel (dB). Decibels are based on a logarithmic scale, which compresses the wide range in sound pressure levels to a more useable range of numbers. This is called “A-weighting” and is commonly used in the measurement of ambient community environmental noise. Unless otherwise noted, all decibel measurements presented in the following noise analysis are Aweighted decibels (dBA).
In terms of human response to noise, a 3-dBA noise level increase is barely perceptible to most people, a 5-dBA noise level increase is readily noticeable, and a difference of 10 dBA would be perceived as a doubling of loudness (i.e., 100 percent increase) (Federal Interagency Committee on Urban Noise [FICUN] 1980; Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. 2006).
Noise Standards
Several rating scales have been developed to analyze the adverse effect noise on people.
Since environmental noise fluctuates, these scales consider the effect of noise upon people largely dependent upon the total acoustical energy content of the noise, as well as the time of day when the noise occurs. Each noise rating scale applicable to this analysis is defined as follows:
Equivalent Continuous Noise Level (Leq) is the average acoustic energy of noise for a given period. Thus, the Leq of a time-varying noise and that of a steady noise are the same if they deliver the same acoustic energy to the ear during exposure. This rating scale does not “weight” or “penalize” noise, depending on whether it occurs during the day or the night.
Attachment #3
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is a 24-hour average Leq with a 5-dBA “weighting” or “penalty” during the hours of 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and a 10-dBA “weighting” or “penalty” a during the hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to account for noise sensitivity in the evening and nighttime, respectively. The logarithmic effect of these additions is that a 60 dBA 24-hour Leq would result in a measurement of 66.7 dBA CNEL. CNEL is often used due to its utility in identifying noise related sleep disturbance effects, often a key community concern for increases in noise levels. This metric is typically used by state and local agencies for noise analyses and CEQAcompliant documents.
Minimum Instantaneous Noise Level (Lmin) is the minimum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period.
Maximum Instantaneous Noise Level (Lmax) is the maximum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period.
Pursuant to FVMC Section 6.28.050(a), the exterior noise standards presented in Table 8 apply to all residential property.
Table 8
Fountain Valley Noise Ordinance Standards
FVMC Section 6.28.050
Noise Zone I Time Period Exterior Noise Standard
All properties located in
residential zone districts
7:00 am – 10:00 pm 55 dBA
10:00 pm – 7:00 am 50 dBA
Further pursuant to FVMC 6.28.050(b), it is unlawful for any person at any location within the City to create any noise, or to allow the creation of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied or otherwise controlled by such person, when the foregoing causes the noise level, when measured on any other residential property, either incorporated or unincorporated, to exceed:
The noise standard for a cumulative period of more than 30 minutes in any hour; or The noise standard plus 5 dBA for a cumulative period of more than 15 minutes in any hour; or
The noise standard plus 10 dBA for a cumulative period of more than 5 minutes in any hour; or
The noise standard plus 15 dBA for a cumulative period of more than 1 minute in any hour; or
The noise standard plus 20 dBA for any period of time.
However, noise sources associated with the construction, repair, remodeling or grading of any real property, provided these activities take place between the hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday through Friday, 9:00 am through 8:00 pm on Saturday and at no time on Sunday or any legal holiday (FVMC Section 6.28.070[5]).
Attachment #3
Temporary Noise Impacts
The existing ambient noise levels at
the Project site and the immediate
vicinity would increase temporarily
during construction-related
activities. Short-term noise would be
generated during excavation,
trenching, and the construction of
the proposed pole-mounted digital
sign. Noise would also be generated
by construction workers commuting
to the Project site, the delivery of
materials and supplies to the Project
site, and the operation of on-site
construction equipment (e.g.,
hydraulic truck crane).
Temporary construction noise impacts vary markedly due to the noise level range of the various types of construction equipment as well as the activity level and the distance from the equipment to the closest sensitive receptor. Short-term construction noise impacts typically occur in discrete phases dominated by large, earth-moving equipment that are used during demolition and grading operations.
In 2006, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the Roadway Construction Noise Model that includes a national database of construction equipment reference noise levels. In addition, the database provides an acoustical usage factor to estimate the fraction of time each piece of construction equipment is operating at full power during a construction phase. Table 9 identifies the highest (Lmax) noise levels that are typically associated with each type of construction equipment.

Moon Park is the closest sensitive receptor to the Project site.
As with the Project site, the existing ambient noise level at Moon Park is primarily associated with vehicle traffic along I405.

The closest sensitive receptors to the Project site are Moon Park, approximately 675 feet southeast of the Project site, and the adjacent residences located approximately 900 feet southeast of the Project site. Saint Barnabas Orthodox Church, located approximately 1,100 feet to the northeast of the Project site, would also be considered a sensitive receptor pursuant to FVMC, Section 6.28.080.
Exterior noise levels were calculated at residences closest to the Project site with the operation of on-site construction equipment. There is an existing cement wall along the southern side of I-405 that separates the residences from the freeway. This cement wall acts as a sound barrier, effectively reducing noise from 8 to 16 dBA depending on the wall height and location along I405 (City of Fountain Valley 1995). This analysis assumes a conservative estimate of a 5-dBA reduction.

The potential for construction-related noise to adversely affect nearby sensitive receptors would depend on the location and proximity of construction activities to these receptors. It Attachment #3
should be noted that the noise levels identified in Table 10 are maximum sound levels, which are the highest individual sound occurring at an individual time period. Operating cycles for these types of construction equipment may involve 1 to 2 minutes of full power operation followed by 3 to 4 minutes at lower power settings.
Further, although construction noise levels would temporarily exceed the noise thresholds identified in FVMC 6.28.050(a) and (b), the Noise Ordinance excludes construction noise level restrictions during the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Therefore, compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance would ensure that impacts during the 2- to 4-week construction period would be less than significant. b) Generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is subject to occasional ground borne vibration due to existing vehicle traffic on I-405 and Euclid Street. The existing vibration levels at the Project site are short-term in duration and barely perceptible. The proposed Project may result in additional instances of ground borne vibration over the 2- to 4-week construction period from use of construction equipment and heavy haul trucks. However, vibration levels associated with the proposed construction activities would not be substantially greater than existing vibration levels from vehicle traffic. The proposed Project would not necessitate the use of equipment that serve as substantial sources of vibration (e.g., pile drivers). Residential areas are generally sensitive receptors to ground borne vibration. The nearest residential area is located approximately 900 feet southeast, across I-405. Construction-related vibration levels associated with the proposed Project would not be substantial enough to affect residential areas at this distance. Therefore, impacts related to ground borne vibrations would be less than significant.
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private air strip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. There are no private air strips or public airports in the City of Fountain Valley or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Project. As described in Section IX(e) John Wayne Airport is located approximately 4 miles east of the Project site. As such, the Project site is located outside of the John Wayne Airport Influence Area (ALUCOC 2005, 2008).
Because the Project site is not located within 2 miles of an airport and is not located within an airport land use plan, the proposed Project would not be expose people to excessive noise levels associated with public airports or private airstrips, as such, there would be no impact. XIV. POPULATION AND HOUSING Would the project:
a) Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (e.g., by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (e.g., through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? No Impact. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a proposed digital sign in its place.
The proposed Project would not result in additional residential uses, additional roads, or other infrastructure. As such, the proposed Project would neither directly, nor indirectly result in population growth. Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact. As previously described the Attachment #3
Project site is located in an urbanized area that is completely developed with commercial structures, paved surface parking lots, and heavily trafficked roadways. The Project site is zoned as “Specific Plan.” The Project site is designated as “Workplace Gateway” in the Fountain Valley Crossings Specific Plan and is located within the “Activity Core” overlay (City of Fountain Valley 2018a). As such, there are neither existing, nor proposed residential units on the Project site. The nearest residential area is located approximately 900 feet to the southeast, in the City of Costa Mesa, south of I-405. Therefore, the proposed Project would neither displace housing, nor require the construction of replacement housing. Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. XV. PUBLIC SERVICES Would the project:
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
i. Fire protection? No Impact. Fire protection services are provided to the Project site and surrounding vicinity by the Fountain Valley Fire Department. Fire Station No. 2 is located at 16767 Newhope Street, approximately 1.65 miles to the north of the Project site, and Fire Station No. 1 is located at 17737 Bushard Street, approximately 1.7 miles northwest of the Project site. Both fire stations have an estimated emergency response time of 5 minutes or less (City of Fountain Valley 2017). The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a proposed digital sign in its place. Construction and operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not create a substantial need for new or additional fire protection services or facilities within the City in order to maintain acceptable fire protection performance objectives. As such, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. ii. Police protection? No Impact. Police protection services are provided to the Project site and surrounding vicinity by the Fountain Valley Police Department. The Police Station is located at 10200 Slater Avenue, approximately 1.2 miles northwest of the Project site. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place.
Construction and operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not create a need for new or additional police protection services or facilities in order to maintain acceptable police protection performance objectives. As such, the implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
iii. Schools? No Impact. As described in Section IX(c), the nearest schools are California Elementary School and TeWinkle Middle School, located approximately 0.67 miles southeast of the Project site in the City of Costa Mesa, and Cox Elementary School, located approximately 0.74 miles northwest of the Project site in the City of Fountain Valley. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place. As described in Section XIV, Population and Housing, construction and operation of the proposed polemounted digital sign would not induce population growth and as such it would not create a need for school services. Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
Attachment #3
iv. Parks? No Impact. The closest public park to the Project site is Moon Park, located approximately 675 feet to the southeast of Project site in Costa Mesa, across I-405. Moon Park is approximately 2.27 acres and includes a playground and picnic tables. As described in Section XIV, Population and Housing, construction and operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would not result in any population growth and as such it would not create a new need for public parks. As such, the proposed Project would have no impact. v. Other public facilities? No Impact. There are no other public facilities (e.g., libraries) or services that would be impacted by the proposed Project. As such, the proposed Project would have no impact. XVI. RECREATION
Would the project:
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No Impact. Refer to Section XV(a)(iv). b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact. Refer to Section XV(a)(iv).
XVII. TRANSPORTATION
Would the project:
a) Conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? No Impact. The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole-mounted digital sign in its place and would not affect the surrounding roadways. As described in Section XI, Land Use and Planning construction staging and equipment laydown areas would be located in the paved surface parking lot within the Project site (i.e., outside of the public right-of-way) and would not impair or physically interfere with the circulation of the surrounding roadway network, bicycle facilities, or pedestrian facilities. As such, the proposed Project would have no impact. b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? Less Than Significant Impact. Implementation of the proposed Project would result in a temporary, short-term increase in vehicle trips during the 2- to 4-week construction duration. It is anticipated that concrete debris from the demolition of the existing concrete foundations would require approximately 5 heavy haul truck trips. Construction associated with the proposed Project would require approximately 14 truck trips for removal of the existing static display and delivery of the pole support mount, digital displays, and other associated construction materials. It is estimated that up to 10 construction workers would be on-site for the duration of the construction activities. Therefore, there would be a total of less than 25 trips per day. According to a technical advisory on evaluating transportation impacts from the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), “[a]bsent substantial evidence indicating that a project would generate a potentially significant level of vehicle miles traveled (VMT), or inconsistency with a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) Attachment #3
or general plan, projects that generate or attract fewer than 110 trips per day3 generally may
be assumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact” (OPR 2018). Therefore, because the proposed construction activities would generate fewer trips than the OPR’s threshold of 110 trips per day, impacts related to VMT would be less than significant. As described in Section III(c), operation of the proposed digital sign would require periodic maintenance up to three times per year, resulting in up to 6 vehicle trips per year. These periodic maintenance trips would be similar to existing conditions, since the existing static sign requires periodic maintenance including replacement of sign signs and lighting. Therefore, impacts related to VMT would be less than significant. c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Less than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. Two driveways provide access to the Project site from Euclid Street, one driveway is located on the northeast corner of the Project site and the other is located on the southeast corner immediately adjacent to the existing pole sign structure. During construction activities – particularly during the use of the hydraulic truck crane to demolish the existing pole sign structure and to construct the proposed pole-mounted digital sign – the proposed Project could result in temporary safety hazards for vehicles and pedestrians. However, compliance with the construction management plan required by MM T1 would ensure that impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Mitigation Measure T-1: Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the pole mounted digital sign, the Applicant shall submit, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, a Construction Traffic Management Plan, to address and manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic during the 2- to 4-week construction period.
The plan shall be designed to accomplish the following:
Ensure safety for construction workers, commercial retail employees and customers, and vehicles and pedestrians traveling along Euclid Street.
Minimize traffic and circulation impacts on the surrounding roadway network – including Euclid Street – to the maximum extent feasible during the 2- to 4-week construction period.
The plan shall, at a minimum, include the following:
Description and/or depiction of construction and equipment staging areas within the existing paved surface parking lot.
Description and/or depiction of the timing and location of designated detours for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. For example, the southeastern driveway at the 3 “CEQA provides a categorical exemption for existing facilities, including additions to existing structures of up to 10,000 square feet, so long as the project is in an area where public infrastructure is available to allow for maximum planned development and the project is not in an environmentally sensitive area. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301[e][2]) Typical project types for which trip generation increases relatively linearly with building footprint (i.e., general office building, single tenant office building, office park, and business park) generate or attract an additional 110-124 trips per 10,000 square feet. Therefore, absent substantial evidence otherwise, it is reasonable to conclude that the addition of 110 or fewer trips could be considered not to lead to a significant impact” (OPR 2018).
Attachment #3
Project site may require temporary closure during demolition of the existing static sign and/or construction of the proposed digital sign.
Requirements for at least one construction flagger that shall be stationed at southeastern driveway of the Project site to ensure coordination managing vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The construction management plan shall provide detailed methods for the construction flagger(s) to address potential safety hazards related heavy truck traffic and construction equipment.
Requirements for traffic cones and warning signs along southbound Euclid Street near the Project site.
Requirements for streets and equipment to be cleaned in accordance with established City Public Works Department guidelines.
Requirements for all heavy truck drivers and equipment operators to receive a briefing at the beginning of construction regarding traffic safety concerns anticipated to be encountered at the Project site and in the surrounding vicinity.
Requirements for the Applicant to advise adjacent properties of construction activities using information signs, mailings, and/or e-mail.
d) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact. Refer to Section IX(f). Construction staging and equipment laydown areas would be located within the paved surface parking lot within the Project site (i.e., outside of the public right-of-way) and would not impair or physically interfere with the circulation of surrounding roadways, including accessibility of emergency response vehicles. Similarly, the proposed pole-mounted digital sign would replace the existing pole sign structure and would not affect the surrounding roadways. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. XVIII. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES Would the project:
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k). No Impact. As described in Section V, Cultural Resources the area that would be impacted by excavation of the existing concrete footings and construction of the proposed digital sign has been recently disturbed and is highly unlikely to contain buried pre-historic or historic archaeological resources. Therefore, the implementation proposed Project would result in no impact.
In the unlikely event that historic or archaeological resources are encountered during construction activities, the Applicant would adhere to CEQA Guidelines (CCR Title 14, Section 15064.5), which states that construction activities would cease in the affected area in the highly unlikely event an archaeological discovery is made. Once the discovery has been evaluated by a qualified archaeologist, (36 CFR §800.11.1 and CCR, Title 14, Attachment #3
Section 15064.5[f]) and if the resource is found to not be significant, the work can resume.
If the resource is found to be significant, it shall be avoided or shall be treated consistent with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or State Historic Resource Preservation Officer Guidelines.
As required by Assembly Bill (AB) 52, letters were mailed to the Native American tribes that have previously requested notification to formally invite consultation with the City in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1. b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. No Impact. Refer to Section XVIII(a).
XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
Would the project:
a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not create or require any changes to water, wastewater treatment, storm water drainage, or natural gas facilities. As described in Section VI(a), it is estimated operation of the proposed Project would generate a demand for electricity of approximately 6,500 kWh per month, or 78 MWh annually (City of Baldwin Park 2017). Existing on-site utility infrastructure would be able to provide for this minor increase in demand. The proposed Project would involve trenching to connect the proposed pole-mounted digital sign to the existing on-site power source adjacent to the existing commercial retail building. However, these activities would involve minor ground disturbance (i.e., trenching to a depth of between 18 and 24 inches) and would not cause significant environmental impacts or interruptions in utilities service. Therefore, impacts to existing utilities and service systems would be less than significant. b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? No Impact.
The proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing static sign and the construction of a proposed digital sign in its place. The proposed Project would not result in increased water consumption or wastewater generation compared to existing conditions.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not require water and wastewater conveyance facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact.
c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? No Impact. Refer to Section XIX(b). d) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? Less Than Significant. No solid waste would be generated during long-term operation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign in comparison to existing conditions. Demolition of the pole sign structure may generate debris, such as asphalt, rubble, or concrete that cannot be recycled and would be hauled to a landfill.
Attachment #3
Republic Services is the current contract solid waste hauler for the City of Fountain Valley and would serve the proposed Project. The solid waste that is collected in Fountain Valley is taken to a MRF in Huntington Beach. All recyclables are recovered and the remaining solid waste is taken to the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill. The City’s waste hauler would actively recycle the solid waste generated by the proposed Project to reduce the amount of material that is hauled to the landfill. Any solid waste generated by the proposed Project that cannot be recycled would be hauled to the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill. The Frank R.
Bowerman Landfill is permitted to accept 11,500 tons per day maximum with an 8,500 tons per day annual average and has enough capacity to serve residents and businesses until approximately 2,052 tons. The solid waste generated by the proposed Project during the 2- to 4-week construction period would incrementally contribute to the facility’s daily intake and would not result in exceedance of the facility’s total daily capacity. Therefore, impacts to the life expectancy of any of the landfills that serve the proposed Project would be less than significant. e) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? No Impact. The City complies with all Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Any waste generated during construction would be subject to compliance with all applicable solid waste statues and regulations. Implementation of the proposed Project would not generate large quantities of solid waste. As such, the proposed Project would have no impact. XX. WILDFIRE
If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted
emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan? No
Impact. Based on review of the
wildland fire hazard severity zones
in Local Responsibility Areas and
State and Federal Responsibility
Areas Map, the City of Fountain
Valley is not located within a very
high fire hazard severity zone
(CalFire 2011). The closest
moderate, high, or very high fire
hazard severity zone is the open
space that extends along the
south side of University Drive from Culver Drive east to Ridgeline Drive in the City of Irvine approximately 7 miles southeast of the Project site. The proposed Project would not impair any emergency response or emergency evacuation plan associated with an emergency response to a fire in this very high fire hazard severity zone or any other designated Federal, State, or local fire hazard severity zone in Orange County. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? No Impact. Refer to Section XX(a). The Project site and The Project site is not located within a state or locally designated fire hazard severity zone. The surrounding
topography is generally flat and would not expose people or structures to risk related to runoff, landslides, or slope instability.
Attachment #3
surrounding vicinity are generally flat with no significant topographic relief. Santa Ana winds could expose the Project site to smoke and other pollutants associated with wildfires located east of the City. However, that exposure would not be specific to the Project site because much of the City would be exposed. Additionally, the proposed Project would be limited to the demolition of an existing pole sign structure and the construction of a proposed pole mounted digital sign. No habitable structures would be constructed under the proposed Project.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would not exacerbate potential pollutant concentrations from a wildfire due to slope, prevailing winds, or other factors.
Implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (e.g., roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? No Impact. Refer to Section XX(a). The proposed Project would not require the installation or maintenance of any roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities to protect the Project site and the surrounding area from a wildfire. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would have no impact. d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result or runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? No Impact. As previously described in Section XX(a), the proposed Project is not located within a moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zone. Additionally, as described in Section XX(b), the Project site and surrounding properties are generally flat with no significant topographic relief that would expose structures or Project site to significant risks due to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides. Because the proposed Project is not located in a wildland fire hazard severity zone or downslope of any hillsides, the proposed Project would not expose people or structures to significant risks. Therefore, implementation the proposed Project would have no impact. XXI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE:
Would the project:
a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? No Impact. The Project site and the surrounding areas are urbanized with commercial retail development, paved surface parking lots, and heavily trafficked arterial roadways. There are no native plants or wildlife on the Project site that would be impacted by the proposed Project. Further, buried archaeological resources are highly unlikely due to previous disturbance associated with the existing static sign and none of the existing buildings or structures on the Project site are considered a historical resource as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Therefore, the implementation proposed Project would result in no impact. b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) Less Attachment #3
Than Significant Impact. There are 25 planned, pending, or recently completed cumulative projects that, along with the proposed Project, could result in cumulative impacts within the Project vicinity (see Table 11). This list includes the Electronic Message Center (EMC) sign located at 10955 Ellis Avenue, which was recently approved on May 3, 2022 approximately 3 months following the publication of the Draft IS/MND that was prepared for the proposed Project.
Short-term construction emissions and the long-term operational emissions associated with the proposed Project would not exceed any adopted criteria pollutant emission thresholds.
Further, the proposed Project would not result in substantial increase vehicle trips or VMT in the area and would not contribute to any cumulatively considerable transportation impacts.
With the exception of the recently approved EMC sign at 10955 Ellis Avenue, the cumulative projects involve improvements to existing structures or new residential or commercial development that are located more than 1 mile away and are not visible from the Project site.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project would not contribute to any cumulatively considerable impacts on aesthetics or noise.
The one cumulative project located within close proximity to the Project site is the EMC sign located at 10955 Ellis Avenue. The City of Fountain Valley prepared an EIR that evaluated a sign with two back-to-back displace panels with dimensions of 14 feet height and 48 feet wide for a total display area of 672 square feet per panel. The top of the sign evaluated in the EIR would reach a maximum height of 79 feet above ground surface. The EIR described that the proposed EMC sign would be located within a commercial-manufacturing area of the City surrounded by non-sensitive uses to the north, west, and south. The visual resources analysis considered six photosimulations. Impacts to five of these views – from southbound and northbound I-405, the Santa Ana River Trail, Orange County Flood Control District Maintenance Road, and Alabama Street – were determined to be less than significant. Impacts to the view from the end of California Street were determined to be significant due to the introduction of “a commercial presence in a designated open space area with no other development in the background.” Additionally, the EIR found that “[a]t night this sign would also be prominent because the illuminated sign would stand out prominently against a dark sky in the background. No other potentially significant impacts were identified for air quality, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology and water quality, noise, or utilities and services. On May 3, 2022 the City Council approved a proposal from Outfront Media, LLC to develop the EMC sign. It should be noted that the height of the sign was reduced from the 79 feet evaluated in the original EIR to a height of 65 feet.
The implementation of the proposed Project would not substantially contribute to cumulatively considerable impacts related to aesthetics. The Project site is located over 900 feet from Moon Park and the existing 59-foot-tall pole mounted sign is already visible (refer to Figure 5). The replacement of the existing sign with a new 73-foot-tall sign (even shorter than the 85-foot-tall sign shown in Figure 5) – would not introduce a new commercial presence. Additionally, as described in Section I(d), with the Louver Technology that would be incorporated into the design of the digital sign (see Appendix C), residential areas approximately 900 feet to the southeast within the City of Costa Mesa would experience less than 0.0152 foot-candles (i.e., similar to the light from a single 100-watt light bulb viewed from 100 feet away). Therefore, the area would experience a nearly undetectable difference in ambient light with the installation of the proposed pole-mounted digital sign (Watchfire Signs 2018).
Both the EMC sign located at 10955 Ellis Avenue and the proposed Project at 18375 Euclid Street would be consistent with the existing setting, would match the aesthetics of the Attachment #3
surrounding corridor, and would be consistent with the City’s design guidelines, policies, and development standards. With the Louver Technology that would be incorporated into the proposed Project, there would be no substantial overlap of light from the two signs.
Therefore, when considered with the cumulative projects listed in Table 11, the contribution of the proposed Project to cumulative impacts would be less than significant. Table 11 Cumulative Projects

c) Does the project have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. As described in Section VII, Geology and Soils, the Project site and surrounding areas are potentially at risk for liquefaction. Pursuant to MM GEO-1, a geotechnical investigation shall be conducted. The Applicant shall submit, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, a Geotechnical Report that describes issues related to instability, ground-failure, and liquefaction. Where geotechnical hazards are found to exist, appropriate engineering design and construction measures shall be incorporated into the final design of the proposed Project. Further, as described in Section XVII, Transportation during construction activities – particularly during the use of a hydraulic truck crane to demolish the existing static sign and to construct the proposed digital sign – the proposed Project could result in temporary safety hazards for vehicles and pedestrians.
However, compliance with MM T-1 would require the preparation of a Construction Traffic Management Plan, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building, that addresses and manages vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic during the 2- to 4-week construction period. Therefore, with the implementation of MM GEO-1 and MM T-1, the proposed Project would not have any environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

Background on Optical Measurements and Calculations
Watchfire Signs has manufactured outdoor electric signs since 1932 and led signs since 1996. We have more than 60,000 led signs in operation worldwide.
Incandescent signs were commonly measured using illuminance measurements, partly because the light bulb is ideally a point source of light, illuminating equally in all directions, and illuminance meters are commonly available and inexpensive. Foot-candle measurements are made at a defined distance from the sign and the magnitude depends on the physical size of the sign.
LED signs are highly directional however, which is an advantage in an urban setting since the light can be directed more precisely to the intended audience. Luminance measurements have been used to specify LED signs by the industry. The candela per square meter (NITs) unit allows a specification that does not depend on size or viewing distance.
The study done on the sign adjacent to a residential area used actual lab measurements made on modules using an illuminance meter. These measurements and extrapolations are then scaled up to the size of the sign and the distance corrections are made using the inverse square law.
Watchfire adopted brightness standards set forth by both the ISA (International sign Association) and OAAA (Outdoor Advertising Association of America). The standards used are based on the studies of Dr. Lewin and the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America).
Below is a list of some of the measurement equipment used by Watchfire engineers.
Equipment used by Watchfire engineers to make lighting measurements:
Foot-candles/Lux - Minolta Illuminance Meter T-10
NITs/candela/sq. m – Minolta Luminance Meter LS-100
Sign Calibration – Minolta CS-1000 Spectra radiometer

SIGN LIGHTING STUDY
Sign Details
Size: 14x48 Digital Billboards
Location: 18375 Euclid Street
Light measurements are completed in foot candles. A foot candle is the amount of light produced by a single candle when measured from 1 foot away. For reference, a 100-watt light bulb produces 137 foot candles at 1 foot away, .0548 foot candles at 50 feet and .0137 foot candles at 100 feet.
The table represents the total increase in ambient light produced by the sign under normal or typical operation at night. The ambient light increases will be less than shown in the chart since they fail to consider any objects blocking the line of site to the sign. Obstructions such as trees would further reduce real world overall ambient light increases. In addition to obstructions any existing light within the viewing cone will further diminish any light increase.

Conclusion
Given the above comparisons and measurements, the area will see an almost undetectable difference in ambient light after installation of the digital led displays. Ambient light levels are more heavily impacted by street, building, and landscape lights than the increases produced by a led display. Ray Digby office 800-637-2645 x3006 Fax 217-442-1020

Project Characteristics - Land Use - Based on Google Earth Pro, the area around the existing billboard is approximately 1,600 sf or 0.37 acres. Construction Phase - The analysis conservatively assumes the existing support structure would be demolished and a new pole would be constructed in its place. However, the existing pole strucutre is proposed to remain in place. Due to the limited construction activities, the construction period is conservatively estimated to last a total of 15 days. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Grading - The area that may require grading would be limited to the immediate vicinity of the pole structure and would be a fraction of an acre. Demolition - Trips and VMT - Conservatively assuming 10 construction workers would be onsite at all times.

Project Characteristics - Land Use - Based on Google Earth Pro, the area around the existing billboard is approximately 1,600 sf or 0.37 acres. Construction Phase - The analysis conservatively assumes the existing support structure would be demolished and a new pole would be constructed in its place. However, the existing pole strucutre is proposed to remain in place. Due to the limited construction activities, the construction period is conservatively estimated to last a total of 15 days. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Off-road Equipment - Based on CalEEMod examples from similar billboard projects. Grading - The area that may require grading would be limited to the immediate vicinity of the pole structure and would be a fraction of an acre. Demolition - Trips and VMT - Conservatively assuming 10 construction workers would be onsite at all times. Vender trips are included for materials delivery and hauling trips are included for disposal of demolition and excavation debris. Vehicle Trips - 3 visits or 6 total trips per year for maintenance of the billboard Table Name Column Name Default Value New Value tblConstructionPhase NumDays 10.00 2.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDays 2.00 5.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDays 100.00 5.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDaysWeek 5.00 6.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDaysWeek 5.00 6.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDaysWeek 5.00 6.00 tblConstructionPhase NumDaysWeek 5.00 6.00 tblConstructionPhase PhaseEndDate 10/6/2020 5/12/2020 tblConstructionPhase PhaseEndDate 5/14/2020 5/2/2020 tblConstructionPhase PhaseEndDate 5/19/2020 5/8/2020 tblConstructionPhase PhaseEndDate 10/13/2020 5/18/2020 tblConstructionPhase PhaseStartDate 5/20/2020 5/9/2020 tblConstructionPhase PhaseStartDate 5/16/2020 5/3/2020 CalEEMod Version: CalEEMod.2016.3.2 Date: 1/23/2020 12:07 PM Page 2 of 22 18375 Euclid Street Digital Billboard Project - Orange County, Winter Attachment #3

Figure 1. Media Resources standard - dual ambient brightness measuring photocells for hardware redundancy
Jan 21, 2022
Re: Use of SITELINE digital display at 18361 Euclid Street, Fountain Valley, CA To whom it may concern,
Media Resources Inc. has been engaged by Becker Boards Small, LLC to review and assess the lighting impact of the proposed digital billboard installation at 18361 Euclid Street. This document will describe the brightness management features of our digital billboards as well as provide details on the VISIONiQ SITELINE principles of operation.
Background on Media Resources Digital Display Ambient-Aware Brightness Controls During dusk, dawn, or cloudy days, the operation of the digital display according to ambient light readings is the ideal way to maintain a glare-free, light-trespass free image.
Media Resources digital billboards are all equipped with factory-mounted dual photocell sensors that are redundant and capable of reading ambient brightness even if one unit suffers a hardware failure. The ambient brightness to output brightness response curves have been carefully developed into a standard to provide good readability on the display while keeping in line with the brightness of the overall visual context.

Figure 2. Media Resources web portal showing brightness configuration and history of the current day
During night-time, brightness control becomes critical as the digital billboards must be operated at a small percentage of its maximum brightness in order to avoid glare or light trespass. Media Resources endeavors to have the most comprehensive system of safeties and traceability for night-time brightness management. The proposed digital billboards are well equipped with modern brightness controls. Besides the redundant photocells above, a number of secondary fail-safes are also implemented including a communications watchdog (automatic reduction to night-time brightness in the event of a communication loss), and failback to a location/season aware time-based schedule in the event of catastrophic photocell system failure. With these safety features in place, it becomes extremely unlikely for the digital billboard to operate at high brightness levels at night.
Additionally, the Media Resources Network Operations Centre can monitor brightness and recall brightness history for traceability. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 below on our internal control system for configuring brightness and recalling brightness history.

SITELINE and light trespass mitigation
Media Resources Inc. invented the SITELINE product specifically to address the issues surrounding individual areas where light emission into nearby areas is undesirable.
The SITELINE system employs a patent-pending mechanical baffle (or louver) system similar to luminaire baffles to eliminate all projection of light from the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) into a “protected region”. As a result, the protection is physical (See Figure 4 and 5) – reliable, permanent, and not the outcome of any programming or settings.
As can easily be seen in the figures below, the mechanical baffles/louvers (made of matte-finished black polymer) do not have the effect of any optical focusing or redirection of light, and thus do not increase the light emission from the LEDs in any direction. They serve strictly as carefully configured mechanical baffles which absorb the light from the LEDs and prevent its passage in the protected direction. A specified NITS value of the display is the maximum output in any direction and is therefore the upper bound on luminance. Any statement suggesting that the SITELINE system can increase brightness above the NITS value of the display is incorrect.
Attachment #3
Figures 4 and 5. Close up photographs of SITELINE module face viewed from front (left) and from side (right). Note the red, green and blue diode lenses are directly visible from front direction but are obscured behind baffles viewed from the side.
Media Resources commits to the effectiveness of this light restriction technology when deployed at 18361 Euclid Street. We have calculated the expected illuminance impact to surrounding areas of concern, shown in Figure 7, along with a table for each face showing fc values at various distances and angles from the face of the display. Media Resources guarantees that the display will operate within 20% of illuminance impact calculated below. If approved and constructed, we can provide on-site lighting measurements to confirm correct installation and light restriction performance.

It is worthwhile also to compare the lighting impact differences between a SITELINE digital and a static illuminated billboard via the luminance radiation pattern of each. A diagram showing this comparison is shown in Figure 6 below. The typical static illuminated billboard is a near perfect Lambertian surface with luminance proportional to the cosine of the angle (in red), while SITELINE is based on a controlled LED lens + a baffle system that cuts off the emission rapidly with angle. With SITELINE, to the left, the brightness drops sharply around 50 degrees, while on the right it drops around 20 degrees. Outside of these ranges, the static billboard emits substantially more light than the SITELINE digital.

For a video reference of the effectiveness of the Media Resources SITELINE product, please see https://vimeo.com/365082755. In the many applications of SITELINE deployed across North America, I can affirm that we have still never received a single brightness complaint after installation.
We are always committed to the responsible application of LED digital technology and are happy to engage with regulatory stakeholders at any time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Hello Maryam,
Thank you for your comment letter for the Becker Billboard project located at 18375 Euclid Street.
The first comment regarding the proposed billboard is that they are prohibited. The billboard project applicant filed for a preliminary outdoor advertising application and the proposed location was conforming to the requirements at that time, which was in 2018, according to the ODA permit and Caltrans response letters attached. Does that make a difference in this situation or have the rules changed since 2018?
Caltrans comments were received after the 30 day comment period had closed on April 16. Based on the first comment, submitting after the deadline is irrelevant as long as a permit is required by Caltrans. If Caltrans will not issue a permit, this project will not move forward. The applicant has shown to the City that the project location is outside of the landscape freeway section and that Caltrans has given them a preliminary approval for their location in 2018. To me this indicates that Caltrans is ok with the project.
Please respond to the comments above.
Nick Meisinger with Wood Environmental (ccd on email) prepared the MND on behalf of the applicant and will be reviewing comments received.
Thank you again.

Thank you for your email. Please see the response below and attachments form Permits:
The Outdoor Advertising Program (ODA) based their response on the postmile listed on the IGR which was ORA-405-12.514, the adjacent Classified Landscaped Freeway segment runs from PM-24.178/12.5, which would place the subject project within a Classified Landscaped Freeway segment.
On October 26, 2018, ODA issued a preliminary determination for a proposed V-shaped static display at ORA-405-12.483R, preliminary determinations are non-binding and have no appeal rights.
Assuming the proposed project is placed at the same location as the imprint for preliminary applications P12-3501 and P12-3502, and assuming there has been no changes to the landscaping at this location since 2018, then the proposed project should be outside of a Classified Landscaped Freeway segment.
However, ODA will make a final determination of conformity with the Outdoor Advertising Act based on a review of a completed ODA Permit Application submitted by the applicant.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional comments or questions.
Thank you,

particular concern. Additionally, visitors to Moon Park could also be affected by the change in visual quality as a result of the EMC sign. The EIR found that the proposed EMC sign would change the visual character of the area by introducing a commercial presence in a designated open space area with no other
development in the background. However, unlike the property at 10955 Ellis Avenue, the Project site is already: 1) developed with an existing 59-foot-tall existing pole sign structure (refer to Comment Response A-2); and 2) the proposed sign is located at a greater distance (approximately 325 feet) and generally obscured from public views within the residential areas and other public areas in the City of Costa Mesa. Potential impacts to the Costa Mesa Residential Area and the Santa Ana River Trail are described in detail in Section I, Aesthetics and depicted as in before and after photosimulations at Key Viewing Location (KVL) 1 (refer to Figure 5) and KVL 2 (refer to Figure 6).
Comment Response A-5: The potential visual impacts of the proposed Project are considered at length in Section I, Aesthetics and while the comment expresses concerns it does not materially challenge the conclusions provided for potential impacts to the Costa Mesa Residential Area (KVL 1 ), Santa Ana River Trail (KVL 2), or Spencer Avenue (KVL 3). These KVLs were selected because they provide the most clear, unobstructed representative views of the Project site. It should be noted that it is standard CEQA practice to provide representative views. This is consistent with the approach for describing existing setting conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15125. Exhaustive views from all surrounding properties depicting similar visual impacts is not usual nor required by CEQA. As described in the Draft IS/MND, it should also be noted that CEQA case law has
established that only public views, not private views, need be analyzed under CEQA. For example, in Association for Protection etc. Values v. City of Ukiah (1991) 2 Cal. App. 4th 720, the court determined that "we must differentiate between adverse impacts upon particular persons and adverse impacts upon the
environment of persons in general. As recognized by the court in Topanga Beach Renters Assn. v. Department of General
Services (1976) 58 Cal.App.3d 188, '[all] government activity has some direct or indirect adverse effect on some persons. The issue is not whether [the project] will adversely affect particular persons but whether [the project] will adversely affect the environment of persons in general."
The base photography for the photosimulations was taken at the time that the proposed Project was deemed complete and the CEQA process was initiated. While it is recognized that conditions change over time (e.g., vegetation growth, new property owners and businesses, new construction, etc.) the changes in conditions have not been so dramatic as to have substantially changed the existing visual character at the Project site and within the surrounding vicinity. The existing setting has been re-confirmed as depicted in the example photographs below from Moon Park and the Santa Ana River Trail taken in April 2022.
Attachment #3
As described at length in the Draft 1S/MND, views in this area are generally urban in nature, including landscaped vegetation, paved trail, concrete river channel, fencing, power lines, commercial buildings, etc. The Project site is located immediately adjacent to the northbound lanes of 1-405. The Draft IS/MND disclosed that the proposed digital billboard would be at least partially visible from the surrounding locations (as illustrated in the photosimulations), but would not change the overall visual character.
The Applicant has provided a detailed description of the Louver Technology that would be incorporated into the digital sign. This technology, which would block light spillage from the sign, has been summarized in the Final IS/MND with further technical detail attached as Appendix C. A video demonstration of this
technology can also be found here:
https://vimeo.com/444979892. The mechanical louvers - made of matte-finished black polymer - absorb the light from the LEDs and prevent passage in the protected direction. The effect of this technology can be seen in the graphic below, which
demonstrates that potential light and glare impacts on residential areas identified in the comment (e.g., Alabama Circle) would be minimal.
Attachment #3
It should also be noted that the Applicant has reduced the proposed height of the sign from 85 feet to 73 feet. which would be 14 feet taller than the existing pole mounted sign that is currently located at the Project site. This reduction would further limit any changes in visibility. The reduction in the height of the proposed digital sign has been revised in the Final IS/MND.
With respect to the evaluation of cumulative impacts associated with the recently approved EMC sign at 10955 Ellis Avenue refer to Comment Response A-3.
Comment Response A-6: The comment suggests relocation of the proposed digital sign at 18375 Euclid Street as well as the recently approved sign at 10995 Ellis Avenue. Alternative locations for the recently approved sign at 10995 Ellis Avenue were considered in the previously certified Final EIR. These alternatives included an Alternative Location, Lower Height. V and V-Formation. The Final EIR ultimately determined that the VFormation was the Environmentally Superior Alternative.
With respect to the proposed sign at 18375 Euclid Street. the Applicant does not own, lease, or otherwise have a stake in the property along the suggested 0.5-mile stretch of 1-405 located to the north. The proposed Project would replace an existing 59- foot-tall pole-mounted side with a now 73-foot-tall digital sign adjacent to existing commercial development. The suggested alternative would require the Applicant to purchase new property and develop a new sign, which is not feasible.
It should be noted that the request to reduce the height of signs has been met. The recently approved sign at 10955 Ellis Avenue has been reduced from a previously approved height of 79 feet to a height of 65 feet. Additionally, the proposed digital sign at 18375 Euclid Street has been reduced from a previously
proposed height of 85 feet to 73 feet. which would be 14 feet taller than the existing pole mounted sign that is currently located at the Project site (refer to Comment Response A-5).

The City Council, as the Lead Agency, arrived at its independent judgement and found that on the basis of the MND and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant adverse impact on the environment provided that the mitigation measures identified in the environmental document are incorporated into the Project.
SECTION 3:
Pursuant to Fountain Valley Municipal Code section 21.34.050 the City Council does hereby find as follows:
1. The proposed amendments ensure and maintain internal consistency with the actions, goals, objectives and policies of the general plan, and would not create any inconsistencies with this title, in the case of a title amendment.

2. The proposed amendments would not be detrimental to the public convenience, health, interest, safety or welfare of the city.
The proposed amendment will allow for one (1) billboard in the FVCSP subject to a Development Agreement (DA). Through the DA, the City has the ability to limit the content of the advertisements on the sign therefore ensuring that certain types of advertising content is restricted. The terms of the DA prohibit the display of any advertisement that promotes or relates to smoking tobacco/marijuana products, sexually oriented businesses, sexually oriented or themed products/services, and, or political speech, including, but not limited to, any political advertisement relating to the City or a City election.
Attachment #4
3. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the CEQA and the city’s environmental review procedures.
As contained in Resolution ____, a MND and MMRP were prepared and incorporated into the Project. The City Council finds that the MMRP will mitigate or avoid potential significant impacts created by the Project. The MND was circulated for public review from March 17, 2022 to April 16, 2022, and considered prior to consideration of the Project and Amendments.
4. Additional Finding for Title Amendments (Code Amendments). The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this title.
The proposed CA ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Map land use designations, and the Fountain Valley Municipal Code.
SECTION 4:
Pursuant to Fountain Valley Municipal Code section 21.46.080, the City Council does hereby find as follows:
1) The proposed development is generally consistent with the actions, goals, objectives and policies of the general plan;
The proposed changes to the FVCSP are consistent with the actions, goals objectives and policies of the general plan. This amendment will facilitate the construction of an EMC that is a compliant with the proposed amendments. 2) The design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities (e.g., drainage, fire protection, sewers, water, etc.), would ensure that the proposed development would not endanger, jeopardize or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located;
The project proposes to remove the existing freeway pole sign and replace it with a similar sign structure with an EMC consisting of a two-sided digital billboard on top. The location and footprint of the sign will not change. The proposed amendment will allow for one (1) EMC in the FVCSP subject to a DA. Through the DA, the City has the ability to limit the content of the advertisements on the sign therefore ensuring that certain types of advertising content is restricted. The terms of the DA prohibit the display of any advertisement that promotes or relates to smoking tobacco/marijuana products, sexually oriented businesses, sexually oriented or themed products/services, and, or political speech, including, but not limited to, any political advertisement relating to the City or a City election.
Attachment #4
3) The proposed development would:
i) Ensure quality development by encouraging greater flexibility with more creative and aesthetically pleasing designs for major urban developments; An EMC visible from the 405 Freeway will give business a new opportunity for advertising in the City that previously did not exist. The sign has been designed to be aesthetically pleasing concealing its support structure and technical components from view. The architectural style of the sign will be complimentary to the stucco buildings to the north in the area.
ii) Ensure the timely provision of essential public services and facilities consistent with the demand for the services and facilities; and
The proposed project will not affect public services or public facilities. The proposed sign will only rely on electricity provided on-site. iii) Promote a harmonious variety of housing choices and commercial and industrial activities; attain a desirable balance of residential and employment opportunities and result in a high level of urban amenities and the preservation of the natural and scenic qualities of open space.
The proposed EMC will provide an advertising mechanism along the 405 Freeway available to business that previously did not exist. By locating the sign in the FVCSP, the area may gain visual notoriety with a prominent sign in a highly visible location adjacent to the freeway.
4) The subject property is physically suitable for the proposed land use designation(s);
The project requires a code amendment to Section 2.9 of the FVCSP in order to allow for one (1) EMC. The amended by the City to allow for the display of one (1) off-site advertising display within a limited area between I-405 mile marker 12.41 and 12.50. Development standards have been drafted in Attachment 5 and will limit the height of the EMC to 73 ft.
5) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the city’s environmental review procedures; and
An Initial Study / MND was prepared for the proposed project and has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA per Section 2 above, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Attachment #4
6) There would be no potential significant negative effects upon environmental quality and natural resources that would not be properly mitigated and monitored, unless a statement of overriding considerations is adopted by the council.
The MND was prepared to mitigate any potential effects the project may have on the environment. The implementation of the proposed Project will not substantially contribute to cumulatively considerable impacts related to aesthetics. The Project site is located over 900 feet from Moon Park and the existing 59-foot-tall pole mounted sign is already visible (refer to Figure 5). The replacement of the existing sign with a new 73-foot-tall sign will not introduce a new commercial presence.
Additionally, Louver Technology will be incorporated into the design of the EMC.
Residential areas approximately 900 feet to the southeast within the City of Costa Mesa will experience less than 0.0152 foot-candles (i.e., similar to the light from a single 100-watt light bulb viewed from 100 feet away). Therefore, the area will experience a nearly undetectable difference in ambient light with the installation of the proposed pole-mounted electronic billboard.
SECTION 5:
That Section 2.9.1 of the FVCSP is hereby amended to read as follows:
“…
2.9.1 NUMBER OF SIGNS
FVCSP 2.9.1.B.2 – Special Signs
