A termination of this Agreement by City shall be valid only if good cause exists and is supported by evidence presented to the City Council at or in connection with a duly no ticed public hearing to establish the existence of a Default. The validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by Developer.

TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
FROM: Carl Stiehl, City Planner
PREPARED BY: Eric Dunn, Deputy City Attorney
SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Development Agreement for Digital Billboards at Locations Approved by Relocation Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the following:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public comments;
2. Find that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15302 and 15303 as described in this staff report and the Resolution; and,
3. Approve the attached Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the proposed Development Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Resolution. The Development Agreement will authorize the relocation or reconstruction of Billboards, subject to an approved Relocation Agreement.
BACKGROUND
In 2022 the City entered into a Relocation Agreement (attached as Exhibit A) with Lamar Central Outdoor, LLC, (Lamar) for the removal of three (3) existing non-conforming static billboards. In exchange, Lamar was authorized to construct three digital billboards in new locations, among other things. Changes the City made to the Development Code (Murrieta Municipal Code (MMC) Title 16) in 2022 authorizes the use of a Development Agreement for the proposed billboard improvements (MMC Section 16.38.150).

Agenda Item No. 3.
Developer and City include, but are not limited to:
1. The term shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on its thirty (30) year anniversary, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Development Agreement.
2. Upon the permanent removal of three (3) Removed Billboards (as defined in the Relocation Agreement), the City will allow Developer to build three (3) digital outdoor advertising displays (“DOADs”).
3. Developer will be responsible for the DOADs, including the obligation to remove graffiti from, and make any repairs to, the DOADs within 48 hours notification.
4. DOADs shall not operate at brightness levels of more than 0.3-foot candles above ambient light, as measured using a foot candle meter at a pre-set distance. Distance to measure the foot candles impact shall be measured from a distance of 250 ft. for a sign with a nominal face size of 14’x 48’.Each Digital Display Area must have a light-sensing device that will adjust the brightness as ambient light conditions change in accordance with the Outdoor Advertising Act.
5. DOADs shall contain static messages only, and shall not have movement, or the appearance or optical illusion of movement during the static display period, of any part of the sign structure, design, or pictorial segment of the sign, including the movement or appearance of movement. Each static message shall not include flashing lighting or the varying of light intensity.
6. No DOAD shall involve any red or blinking or intermittent light likely to be mistaken for warning or danger signals nor shall its illumination impair the vision of travelers on the adjacent freeway and/or roadways.
7. The DOAD shall be operated with systems and monitoring to freeze the display in one static position, display a full black screen, or turn off, in the event of a malfunction.
8. No DOAD shall simulate or imitate any directional, warning, danger, or any display likely to be mistaken for any permitted sign intended or likely to be construed as giving warning to traffic by, for example, the use of the words “stop” or “slow down.”
9. The Developer voluntarily covenants and agrees to prohibit advertising displayed on the DOADs for adult businesses, cabarets, strip clubs, lingerie, and cannabis products of any kind including CBD products.
10. The Developer will pay the City a one-time payment of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per DOAD, with such payment due to the City upon the commencement date of each DOAD.
11. The Developer shall further pay to the City an annual fee in the sum of the greater of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) each calendar year or twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual gross advertising revenue generated by each of the DOADs.
12. The Developer will also donate a City Hall Digital Monument Sign to the City as described in the CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 5/22/2025Page 2 of 3

Agenda Item No. 3.
12. The Developer will also donate a City Hall Digital Monument Sign to the City as described in the Relocation Agreement.
13. The City shall be entitled to place up to one eight-second public service message per minute on each DOAD provided that space is available.
14. Sign facilities shall be in compliance with FAA and Caltrans standards.
In sum, the proposed Development Agreement establishes development standards for the three (3) billboard reconstructions consistent with the Relocation Agreement and consistent with the policies of the Murrieta Municipal Code and California Outdoor Advertising Act.
The three locations for reconstructed signs are 41001 Golden Gate Circle (57’tall), 25941 Jackson Avenue (85’tall), and 26171 Jackson Avenue (57’tall). See Attachment 2 for the vicinity map, showing the three locations.
Staff have reviewed the proposed plans and have determined that the three (3) reconstructed billboards subject to the proposed Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the surrounding areas, based on the required operating terms, including design and regulatory controls. The development and operations requirements will ensure appropriate integration in context with existing and anticipated adjacent developments and are consistent with applicable development standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Project has been evaluated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the Agreement is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15302 and 15303 because it will allow for the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and the new construction or conversion of small structures. See Attachment 3 for the Notice of Exemption.

Each of the Reconstructed Billboards currently holds the status of a legal non - conforming use as the term is defined by the City Development Code. Lamar shall be entitled to incorporate either singl e or double -sided changeable message digital displays into the Reconstructed Billboards. The Reconstructed Billboards shall be subject to the approval of a sign permit and a Development Agreement as provided in Section 4b below. c. Old Billboard. Lamar shall be entitled to reconstruct the Old Billboard, which was originally approved for reconstruction in the Relocation Agreement dated April 15, 1997 (Exhibit A), at a nearby location outside of the I-15/French Valley Parkway Improvements Project to prevent the unnecessary expenditure of public condemnation funds. The reconstructed Old Billboard shall be a double-sided static Billboard. Lamar shall obtain all the necessary sign permits required for the construction of the Old Billboard, but will not be required to obtain a Conditional DocuSign Envelope ID: 54CE3DD8-3660-4D9C-9688-778BDB10DF1B 667
01375.0020/802274.8 4
L375/000 - 398407.1
Use Permit or Development Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the April 15,1997 Relocation Agreement in its entirety, and the 1997Agreement shall no longer have any effect. d. Findings. The City Council has found that this Agreement is in the public interest of the City and its residents. Adopting this Agreement constitutes a present exercise of the City’s police power, and this Agreement is consistent with the goals, objectives, purposes and provisions of the City’s General Plan and the City of Murrieta Municipal Code. The proposed relocation sites are compatible with the uses and structures on the site and in the surrounding area.
This Agreement is intended to achieve a number of the Ci ty’s objectives including the reduction of visual clutter by reducing the number of overall billboards located within the City and the removal of old, obsolete displays to allow for modernized displays, thereby improving the City’s appearance as a whole, w ithout expenditure of public funds, while accommodating continued investment in the City and preservation of expectations of developers and property owners and the use of outdoor advertising as an important medium of communication. The proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Billboard would not create a traffic or safety problem with regard to onsite access circulation or visibility, nor would they interfere with onsite parking or landscaping required by City ordinance or permit. Add itionally, the proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Billboard conceptual designs promote the character of the City. Finally, the City Council has found that the proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Bill board would not otherwise result in a threat to the general health, safety and welfare of City residents.
4. Development Approvals.
a. Lamar shall, at its own expense, secure or cause to be secured all necessary permits and approvals, which may be required by all City, State, or any other governmental agency or utility affected by such construction, development or work to be performed by Lamar related to the Agreement, including, but not limited to, this Agreement and related staff reports and documents, sign permits, a Conditional Use Permit for the 215/Keller Billboard and Development Agreement for the Reconstructed Billboards , building and demolition permits, and all approvals required under CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, and all permits and approvals r equired from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) (collectively "Development Approvals").
b. Within ninety (90) days of the approval of this Agreement, Lamar shall, at its sole cost and expense, submit sign permit application(s), a Conditional Use Permit application for the 215/Keller Billboard and Development Agreement applications for the Reconstructed Billboards, with accompanying fees, to the City Planning Department for the development of such billboards. Lamar’s ability to con struct and install the 215/Keller Billboard and Reconstructed Billboards are expressly conditioned upon City approval of a Conditional Use Permit or Development Agreement (as applicable), and subsequent approval of a sign permit. The foregoing applications shall include the written consent of the property owner. An application for a sign permit shall be accompanied by construction drawings reflecting the design detail of the proposed billboards. Upon receipt of an application for a sign permit submitted pursuant to this Agreement, the City Planning Director shall review the sign permit application to determine whether the design DocuSign Envelope ID: 54CE3DD8-3660-4D9C-9688-778BDB10DF1B 668
01375.0020/802274.8 5
L375/000 - 398407.1
of the proposed billboard(s) is substantially similar to the conceptual designs reflected in Exhibit “E” attached hereto and inc orporated herein by this reference. Lamar acknowledges that, in addition to sign permits, Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement, Lamar must obtain building permits from City prior to construction and installation of the 215/Keller Billboard and Reconstructed Billboards.

As material consideration for City allowing Lamar to construct and operate the 215/Keller Billboard, the Reconstructed Billboards and the Old Billboard, Lamar shall pay the City a collective payment totaling One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The payment shall be made in four equal installments of Two-Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) . Each installment shall be paid to the City as each of the 215/Keller Billboard and the Reconstructed Billboards are fully operational (i.e., all the Billboards are not required to be operational before the first payment is due) . Lamar shall also pay the City an annual fee equal to the greater of (i) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,0 00.00) or (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual gross advertising revenue generated by each of the 215/Keller Billboard and Reconstructed Billboards .

Lamar shall not be responsible for producing or substantially modifying any advertising copy for a Public Service Message, and shall have 48 hours after receipt and approval of advertising copy to display the Public Service Message.
8. Lamar’s Advertising Policy. The Parties acknowledge that public advertising is an important form of public communication.

Lamar shall be entitled to reconstruct the Old Billboard, which was originally approved for reconstruction in the Relocation Agreement dated April 15, 1997 (Exhibit A), at a nearby location outside of the I-15/French Valley Parkway Improvements Project to prevent the unnecessary expenditure of public condemnation funds. The reconstructed Old Billboard shall be a double-sided static Billboard. Lamar shall obtain all the necessary sign permits required for the construction of the Old Billboard, but will not be required to obtain a Conditional DocuSign Envelope ID: 54CE3DD8-3660-4D9C-9688-778BDB10DF1B 695

L375/000 - 398407.1
Use Permit or Development Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the April 15,1997 Relocation Agreement in its entirety, and the 1997Agreement shall no longer have any effect. d. Findings. The City Council has found that this Agreement is in the public interest of the City and its residents. Adopting this Agreement constitutes a present exercise of the City’s police power, and this Agreement is consistent with the goals, objectives, purposes and provisions of the City’s General Plan and the City of Murrieta Municipal Code. The proposed relocation sites are compatible with the uses and structures on the site and in the surrounding area.
This Agreement is intended to achieve a number of the Ci ty’s objectives including the reduction of visual clutter by reducing the number of overall billboards located within the City and the removal of old, obsolete displays to allow for modernized displays, thereby improving the City’s appearance as a whole, w ithout expenditure of public funds, while accommodating continued investment in the City and preservation of expectations of developers and property owners and the use of outdoor advertising as an important medium of communication. The proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Billboard would not create a traffic or safety problem with regard to onsite access circulation or visibility, nor would they interfere with onsite parking or landscaping required by City ordinance or permit. Add itionally, the proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Billboard conceptual designs promote the character of the City. Finally, the City Council has found that the proposed 215/Keller Billboard, Reconstructed Billboards and Old Bill board would not otherwise result in a threat to the general health, safety and welfare of City residents.
4. Development Approvals.
a. Lamar shall, at its own expense, secure or cause to be secured all necessary permits and approvals, which may be required by all City, State, or any other governmental agency or utility affected by such construction, development or work to be performed by Lamar related to the Agreement, including, but not limited to, this Agreement and related staff reports and documents, sign permits, a Conditional Use Permit for the 215/Keller Billboard and Development Agreement for the Reconstructed Billboards , building and demolition permits, and all approvals required under CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, and all permits and approvals r equired from the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) (collectively "Development Approvals").
b. Within ninety (90) days of the approval of this Agreement, Lamar shall, at its sole cost and expense, submit sign permit application(s), a Conditional Use Permit application for the 215/Keller Billboard and Development Agreement applications for the Reconstructed Billboards, with accompanying fees, to the City Planning Department for the development of such billboards. Lamar’s ability to con struct and install the 215/Keller Billboard and Reconstructed Billboards are expressly conditioned upon City approval of a Conditional Use Permit or Development Agreement (as applicable), and subsequent approval of a sign permit. The foregoing applications shall include the written consent of the property owner. An application for a sign permit shall be accompanied by construction drawings reflecting the design detail of the proposed billboards. Upon receipt of an application for a sign permit submitted pursuant to this Agreement, the City Planning Director shall review the sign permit application to determine whether the design DocuSign Envelope ID: 54CE3DD8-3660-4D9C-9688-778BDB10DF1B 696

Project Title: Development Agreement for Digital Billboards per Relocation Agreement
Project Applicant: LAMAR Central Outdoor, LLC
Description of Project: On December 20, 2022, the City and developer Lamar Central Outdoor, LLC entered into a Relocation Agreement in accordance with California Busin ess and Professions Code Sections 5200 et seq. and Title 16 of the Murrieta Municipal Code to memorialize the terms and conditions upon which Developer will have the right to relocate and reconstruct certain legally existing billboards within the City. Pursuant to the terms of the Relocation Agreement, upon the permanent removal of the Removed Billboards (as defined in the Relocation Agreement), the Developer shall be entitled to reconstruct three (3) existing Billboards upon private property, subject to the approval of a ministerial sign permit and a Development Agreement. The locations of the 3 billboard signs and corresponding heights are located at 41001 Golden Gate Circle (57’ tall), 25941 Jackson Avenue (85’ tall), and 26171 Jackson Avenue (57’ tall).
Project Site Size: The three project sites each have approximately 1,000 square fe et of area for the footprint of the pole and trenching, placed upon larger parcels.
Project Location: The three Project sites are located at 1) I-15 WL 1.2 MI N/O Winchester APN: 910-210-055, 2) I-15 & 215 EL S/O Overpass S APN: 910-020-077, and 3) I-15 E /L 1.5 MI N/O Winchester APN: 910-060- 009, Murrieta, California.
Public Agency Approval: On May 28, 2025, as part of their recommendation to City Counci l, the City of Murrieta Planning Commission determined that the project is exe mpt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines Section 15302 – Rep lacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures and ap proved the project along with a recommendation to City Council.

Statement of Reasons Supporting the Finding that the Project is Exempt: The project is exempt under Section 15302 (Class 2) – Replacement or Reconstruction, and Section 15303 (Class 3) New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures as the Project is located on the same sites as the structures to be replaced, will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structu res to be replaced and is based upon a reduction of overall sign facilit ies that are comparable to the referenced examples of 10,000 square feet of building area. The sites have been reviewed for consistency wit h biological and lighting requirements, with no significant impacts identified. The site has necessary public s ervices available, and each of the three sites is not found to be an environmentally sensitive area. The Project has conditions of approval that will require the replacement and/or conversion of the three signs to conform to stormwater regulations, cultural/paleo/biological regulations, and inspections will ensure that the Project complies with CEQA.

Agenda Item No. 13.
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kristen Crane, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:
Discussion of Concept for Weekly Food Truck Event at Town Square Park
RECOMMENDATION
Review and discuss the preliminary concept for a weekly food truck event at Town Square Park and provide direction to staff.
PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On June 3, 2025, the City Council voted to reinstate the Town Square Park Amphitheater and Signature Events Ad-Hoc Subcommittee. Mayor Warren and Council Member Holliday were appointed by the City Council to serve on the Subcommittee (Vote: 5-0).
CITY COUNCIL GOAL
Foster and promote an engaged, connected and caring community.
DISCUSSION
The City of Murrieta (City) was recently approached by Wanderlust Events about the possibility of hosting a weekly food truck event in the Town Square Park. The event organizer hosts similar events in Hemet and Banning.
Elements of the vision include:
· Weekly event to be held on Wednesday evenings year-round, encompassing the hours of 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., including time for set-up (2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and tear-down (10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.). · Food trucks would be set-up on the loop road of Town Square Park. The amphitheater stage would not be used for this event.
· The event organizer would make all arrangements for the food trucks and be responsible for all other components, such as set-up, tear-down, tables, chairs, marketing, trash collection and disposal, security, Health Department requirements for food safety, and ensuring vendors have business CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/26/2025Page 1 of 4

security, Health Department requirements for food safety, and ensuring vendors have business licenses and insurance.
· The park restrooms and large overhead lights would be used for the event. · The event organizer would like all fees and deposits for use of the Town Square Park to be waived.
Per the City’s adopted fee schedule, the estimated value of fees and deposits for this event are as follows:
o One-Time Fees - $2,224.89
§ Application Fee - $724.89 (For review by staff Special Events Committee) § Deposit - $1,500
o Recurring per Event - $1,409.82
§ Reimbursement of cost for staff presence during events - $802.80 Staff recommends that one (1) City staff person be present during the events at least initially.
The following costs would likely apply to this event under the City’s current fee schedule:
· One Community Services Department (CSD) staff person for four (4) hours at the rate based upon the City’s fee schedule is $450.76.
· One Fire Inspector for food trucks for four (4) hours at the rate based upon the City's fee schedule is potentially approximately $352.04, depending on the scope, type, and volume of food truck vendors. · Restocking and Supply Fee for Extended Restroom Time - $51.45 · Use Fees for Park Rental - $364.91
§ Park Rental (non-CSD sponsored classes) - $42.93/hour for 8.5 hours (2:30 p.m. set-up; 5:00 p.m. -10:00 p.m. for event; 10:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. clean-up) § Use Fees for High-Powered Park Lighting (hourly) - $231.54 § Three (3) hours at $77.18 per hour
Other details that would need to be addressed include:
· Level of service for fire inspection services for food trucks; · Any additional concerns by Police Department;
· Allowances for event signage;
· Additional requirements if alcohol is served; and
· Staffing coverage to accommodate a weekly event based on staffing needs for other existing events.
In the past, City Council has expressed interest in seeing expanded use of Town Square Park and in seeing more special events that promote a connected community. At the same time, the City Council has been sensitive about subsidizing events, especially during times of budget constraints. The City Council recently reestablished an Ad-Hoc Committee to consider fees and other policies with the goal of balancing these competing interests. The vendor wishes to secure a use agreement in advance of any recommendations the Ad Hoc Committee may present to the City Council concerning fee changes.
If the City Council would like to proceed with this event series, staff will work with the event organizer to prepare an agreement for future approval by the City Council. Based on the City Council meeting schedule, the soonest this agreement would be brought forward for consideration would be the August 19, 2025, City CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/26/2025Page 2 of 4

the soonest this agreement would be brought forward for consideration would be the August 19, 2025, City Council meeting.
Potential Options to Proceed
Several options for the City Council to consider include:
1) Apply all Standard Fees
a. Pros:
i. Consistent with previous events and event inquiries. ii.Most likely to minimize any actual costs borne by the City. iii. Easy to administer.
b. Cons:
i. May be cost prohibitive and preclude the events from taking place. 2) Allow a Pilot Program: waive fees for a limited series of events (e.g., four (4)) with the intent of revisiting the fee structure after determining financial viability. a. Pros:
i. The City would absorb fees (likely $7,000-$8,000) for one-time and recurring costs, allowing the vendor to test the popularity of the event and the potential to incorporate fees into the business model.
ii. Would create some context on feasibility as the City Council Ad-Hoc Committee attempts to rebalance the interest in hosting numerous community events with the interest of minimizing costs to the City.
b. Cons:
i. Inconsistent with past practices.
ii.The City would need to absorb some direct costs.
iii. Establishes a potential precedent for future fee waivers. 3) Negotiate Reduced Fees
a. Pros:
i. The City could work with the vendor to waive one-time fees and deposits, minimize recurring fees by shifting as much work as possible to the vendor, and potentially cover a portion of recurring fees to make the events financially viable. ii. This may create a workable solution that is viable for the vendor without requiring the City to absorb all costs.
iii. Consistent with similar efforts to partner with Market Nights and Newman Hospitality to improve the financial sustainability of those events. b. Cons:
i. Waiving and/or reducing fees could boost profits beyond what is necessary to make the events financially viable.
ii.Could establish a precedent for other events.
4) Share Risk: Partner with the vendor to share risk and reward by waiving fees but sharing some revenue.
a. Pros:
i. If done well, this option minimizes risk while maximizing reward for both parties. b. Cons:
i. This arrangement has been tried in the past with other events but proved difficult to administer.
ii. Requires a high level of transparency to ensure risk and reward are shared CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/26/2025Page 3 of 4

appropriately.
5) Other: City Council could consider any other arrangement that balances the viability of the event with associated costs to the City.
Staff requests City Council direction on how to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council directs staff to proceed with preparing an agreement, depending on the terms of the agreement, the city may potentially incur a financial cost either as a result of loss of revenue (i.e., fee waiver) or additional operating costs to provide staff support before, during, or after the event, the amount of which is yet to be determined.
A food truck event may generate limited revenue for the City. Food truck vendors would be responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax based on sales at the events. In total, between general Sales Tax and Measure T, the City would receive two (2) cents per dollar of sales. For example, for a $15, plate of food, the City would receive $0.30 in Sales Tax and Measure T revenue.
