To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 24, 2025
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – AMENDMENT TO THE 5-YEAR PERMANENT
LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN
Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing the proposed amendment to the City of Pico Rivera’s (City) 5-Year Permanent Local Housing Allocation Plan (PLHA); and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make all necessary submittals to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and execute all related documents required to implement the amended PLHA.
Strategic Priority:
2 - Economic Development & Land Use - Encourage the development of underutilized space, plan for growth, and engage businesses to transform the City as an economic and cultural hub
Strategy:
2.1 Foster an environment that promotes diverse business growth, attraction, retention, and housing opportunities in the city.
Fiscal Impact:
All activities are funded through the City’s PLHA allocation, administered by HCD, and are incorporated into the General Fund budgets for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27, with revenues in G/L account 100.00.0000-45000 and expenditures in GL Account No. 100.30.3020-54500.
Background:
In 2017, the State of California established the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program through Senate Bill 2 to provide a permanent source of funding to local governments for housing-related projects and programs that address the unmet housing 1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 24, 2025 PUBLIC HEARING – AMENDMENT TO THE 5-YEAR PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING
ALLOCATION PLAN
needs of their communities. The revenue collected through Senate Bill 2 is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
In the 2020, 2021 and 2022 program years, the City was awarded a total of $1,397,273 under Agreement No. 23-PLHA-18471. As part of the Agreement, the allocation is currently distributed evenly between Activity 2, Home Ownership/Predevelopment and Activity 6, Homeless Services of the PLHA program.
• Activity 2 supports the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing for a growing workforce earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income. • Activity 6 focuses on assisting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness through services such as rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive/case management designed to promote housing stability.
Discussion:
To better align with the City's adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element and to advance its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals, staff recommends amending the 2021 and 2022 PLHA allocations to dedicate 100% of the funds to Activity 2. This adjustment will directly support the development of new affordable housing units and help the City meet its RHNA target of producing 1,024 affordable units during the 6th Cycle planning period.
This amendment aligns with General Plan Housing Policy 2.1, which encourages the development of housing for residents at all income levels. By concentrating PLHA resources into affordable housing development, the City can more effectively leverage other funding sources and support shovel-ready projects that help address its critical housing needs. The amendment underscores the City’s commitment to addressing housing needs by prioritizing long-term affordable housing development, while reaffirming PLHA Allocation Agreement No. 23-PLHA-18471

the vital role of homelessness services, which will continue to be supported through future PLHA allocations.
The 2020 allocation for Activity 6 remains unchanged. The City is currently conducting an open procurement process to select a qualified homeless services provider to utilize these funds. The selected provider will deliver supportive services and case management to individuals experiencing homelessness in Pico Rivera, advancing General Plan Housing Policy 3.3, which seeks to recognize and address the essential shelter needs of the City’s unhoused population.
The City is eligible to receive up to $2,033,838 over the 5-year PLHA allocation period (2019–2023). Staff anticipates applying for the 2023 PLHA allocation of $636,565 in the coming months and will present that application for City Council consideration at a future meeting.
Environmental Analysis:
The proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) and (5), as it involves government fiscal activities and organizational activities that do not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the proposed amendment to the City’s 5-Year PLHA Plan and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make all necessary submittals to HCD and execute all related documents required to implement the amended PLHA Plan.

ALLOCATION (PLHA) GRANT PLAN
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held before the City of Pico Rivera City Council as follows:
WHEN: June 24, 2025
TIME: 6:00 P.M.
WHERE: City Hall Council Chambers
6615 Passons Boulevard Pico Rivera, CA 90660
Public Notice of Proposed Amendment to PLHA Grant and 5-Year Plan At the above-described public meeting, the City of Pico Rivera (“City”) will consider taking action to amend its Permanent Local Housing Allocation (“PLHA”) grant and 5-Year Plan, pursuant to a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) issued by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”).
The PLHA program, established under Senate Bill 2 (Building Homes and Jobs Act), provides funding to eligible local governments to support housing-related projects that address community housing needs. As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City was awarded $1,397,273 under Agreement No. 23-PLHA-18471 for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 program years and is eligible to receive up to $2,033,838 over five years, subject to change based on real estate transaction revenues. To access these funds, the City must maintain a 5-Year PLHA Plan outlining eligible uses.
The City is proposing to amend its PLHA Plan to allocate 100% of the 2021 and 2022 PLHA funds to Activity 2: supporting the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing for a growing workforce earning up to 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
There are no changes proposed to the 2020 allocation, which remains allocated at 50% toward Activity 6: assisting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness through services such as rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services, and capital or operational support for shelters and transitional/permanent housing.

Subject: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1198
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL
BILLBOARD LOCATED AT 3900 BAYBAR ROAD (APN
8125-013-020)
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 1198, approving Development Agreement No. 25-2455 for the construction of a digital billboard on the subject property.
Strategic Priority:
2 - Economic Development & Land Use - Encourage the development of underutilized space, plan for growth, and engage businesses to transform the City as an economic and cultural hub
Strategy:
2.2 Create special assessment districts to finance and facilitate economic development.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will receive a $35,000 implementation fee upon issuance of building permits, a minimum annual guarantee of $100,000 for the first 10 years. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the approval of this Development Agreement.
The revenues received will be credited into the GL Account No.100.00.0000-42030 and will be used to fund public improvements, at the City Council’s discretion.
Background:
In August 2020, George E. Peterson, president of Project Dimensions, Inc. entitled the subject property for the development of a warehouse for distribution purposes through Precise Plan of Design (PPD) No. 555. In order for the project to move forward it required the merger of several irregular shaped parcels and the vacation of a portion of Baybar 4 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 24, 2025 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1198 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL BILLBOARD LOCATED AT 3900 BAYBAR ROAD (APN 8125-013-020)
Road. The City supported the project in part because it included the guarantee of a public benefit in the form of quarterly payments from the future digital billboard developer to the City.
In October 2020, CenterPoint Properties acquired the entitlement from Project Dimensions and shortly thereafter, issued a request for proposals for the development of a digital billboard at the subject property. Submittals were reviewed and evaluated based on experience and qualifications; Outfront Media, a company experienced in outdoor advertising and digital billboard installations, was selected as the developer of choice.
In May 2021, the City Council approved Zone Code Amendment No. 188 and Ordinance No. 1142, amending the Pico Rivera Municipal Code Chapter 18.46 to allow for digital billboards within certain parts of the City with the approval of a development agreement.
In August 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 7215 ordering the vacation of a portion of Baybar Road and soon thereafter, approved a purchase and sale agreement to sell it to CenterPoint Properties for $1,000,000. The sale price was determined at fair market value per the appraisal report from Curtis-Rosenthal Inc.
In September 2022, the Planning Commission approved Parcel Map No. 83351 that merged several irregular parcels including that portion of Baybar Road for the development of PPD No. 555.
On February 3, 2023, Outfront Media submitted a Development Agreement application for the construction of a new digital billboard at 3900 Baybar Road. The subject property is adjacent to the San Gabriel River Freeway also known as the Interstate 605 (I-605).
Pursuant to Chapter 18.46 of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code and Government Code Section 65864, digital billboards are subject to City Council discretionary review and approval of a development agreement and ordinance respectively.
The development agreement for the proposed digital billboard is the result of ongoing efforts by the City to generate additional revenue and enhance advertising opportunities for local businesses. The development agreement is a legally binding contract between the City of Pico Rivera (City) and the applicant whose function is to vest development rights, allowing the project to proceed in accordance with the rules, regulations, and policies in effect at the time the agreement is executed, regardless of future changes in local laws. In return, the City may negotiate for public benefits that extend beyond standard development requirements.
In January 2024, CenterPoint Properties completed the construction of a 41,000 square foot warehouse (cross docking facility) as described in PPD No. 555. Now Outfront Media seeks approval of the attached development agreement (Enclosure 4) for the construction CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 24, 2025
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1198 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL BILLBOARD LOCATED AT 3900 BAYBAR ROAD (APN 8125-013-020)
of a digital billboard on the subject property. CenterPoint Properties and Outfront Media signed a ten-year lease agreement for the digital billboard in August of 2024.
In August 2024, Outfront Media agreed that the public benefit to the City will include: 1) The City’s use of the digital billboard for up to 5% of the total advertising time to promote civic and public purposes and emergency notifications; and 2) Outfront Media will provide quarterly payments to the City with a minimum annual guarantee of $100,000, for the first 10 years. If Outfront Media exercises their option to extend the term of the Development Agreement for an additional 10 years, the minimum annual guarantee will increase to $110,000. The installation of the digital billboard is also subject to the removal of an existing static billboard on the subject property.
On May 5, 2025, at a regularly scheduled public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously, in favor of recommending that the City Council approve the Development Agreement. Planning Commission Resolution No. 1327 recommending approval is attached (Enclosure 3).
On May 27, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing on a Development Agreement between the City of Pico Rivera and Outfront Media LLC, and introduced and waived first reading of Resolution No. 7411, adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program and Ordinance No. 1198 for the construction of a digital billboard on the subject property.

This includes the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 (23 U.S.C. Section 131), the Outdoor Advertising Act (California Business and Professions Code, Section 5200 et seq.), and the regulations promulgated to implement the Outdoor Advertising Act (4 Cal.

The Municipal Code allows a maximum height of billboards of 75 feet; the proposed digital billboard measures 65 feet in height inclusive of signs and supporting post.
No digital billboard shall display any statement or words of an obscene, indecent, or adult rated character. Each digital billboard shall be connected to the National Emergency Network in accordance with local and regional first responder protocols. Digital billboards shall not operate at brightness levels of more than 0.3-foot candles above ambient light.

RECITALS
A. California Government Code Sections 65864, et seq., (“Development Agreement Law”) authorizes cities to enter into binding development agreements with persons having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such property, all for the purposes of strengthening the public planning process, encouraging private participation and comprehensive planning and identifying the economic costs of such development.

2 20958695.1
D. The City Council of the City has determined that it is in the best interests of the City, and for the common benefit of the citizens residing in the City, to enter into this Agreement with Developer for construction, operation, and maintenance of the Billboard on the Site contingent on Developer obtaining all required approvals from the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") and the City following review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.)
E. Section 5412 of the Outdoor Advertising Act (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 5200-5486) notes that it is the policy of the state of California to encourage local entities and owners of existing billboards to enter into relocation agreements that allow local entities to continue development in a planned manner without expenditure of public funds, while allowing the continued maintenance of private investment and a medium of communication.
F. The Pico Rivera Municipal Code allows for relocation, development, construction and operation of digital billboards in a planned manner within areas of the City zoned I-L, I-G, or IPD and located adjacent to the California Interstate 5 and 605 Freeways subject to specific terms and conditions consistent with the Outdoor Advertising Act.
G. Pico Rivera Municipal Code Section 18.46.060, Note 47, Subsection B permits digital billboards in designated areas only after a development agreement has been negotiated and executed between Developer and City. Pursuant to Section 5412 of the Outdoor Advertising Act, Section 18.46.060, Note 47, Subsection B provides that the development agreement may include provisions related to the relocation or removal of billboards in areas inside or outside the boundaries of the City.
H. Outdoor Advertising Act section 5443(b) provides that Caltrans shall issue a permit for a display in the vicinity of a landscaped freeway if the display is being placed pursuant to a relocation agreement with a government entity that commits to the removal of another display in the vicinity of a landscaped freeway.
I. Developer has identified three (3) existing billboards consisting of six (6) facings that it presently owns and operates ("Removed Billboards"), and that Developer will remove as part of this Agreement, which qualifies as a relocation agreement under Outdoor Advertising Act section 5443(b). The Removed Billboards are identified in Exhibit "C." J. In addition to other public benefits set forth below, this Agreement will serve the public interest by allowing the City to continue its development in a planned manner and promoting business and commerce within the City. Construction of an industrial building located at 3900 Baybar Road, approved by the City on August 10, 2020, caused the need for the Existing Billboard to be relocated to the Site. This Agreement will further improve visual quality of the community pursuant to the City's General Plan by relocating Removed Billboards.
K. The Outdoor Advertising Act, including Sections 5412, 5443, 5443.1, and 5443.5 thereof, empower City and Developer to enter into billboard-related agreements on whatever terms are agreeable to such parties.

2.2 Interest in Site. City and Developer acknowledge and agree that Developer has a qualifying legal interest in the Site and is thus qualified, under California Government Code Section 65865(a) to enter into and be a party to this Agreement. Additionally, prior to the execution of this Agreement, Developer has allowed City to view a redacted copy of the Lease, which demonstrates that Developer has a long-term leasehold interest in the Site, which interest shall be maintained during the Term of this Agreement, at the discretion of the Developer. If Developer’s interest in the Lease is prematurely terminated, Developer may assign this Agreement as provided in Section

If Developer’s interest in the Lease terminates before the expiration of this Agreement and Developer is not able to assign this Agreement as provided in Section 2.3, Developer shall remove the Billboard and Digital Display and sign a written cancellation of this Agreement, as provided in Section 4.1.
2.3 Assignment. Developer shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its interest in the Site to any other person, firm, or entity, without City’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the parties shall execute a written cancellation of this Agreement, which shall be recorded with the County Recorder pursuant to Section 8.1 below.
2.5 Public Benefits.
2.5.1 Development Fees.
(a) One-Time Implementation Fee. Developer shall pay Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) to the City not later than five (5) days after building permits for the Billboard and Digital Display are issued by the City. The City shall retain and use the implementation fee, or any part thereof, for any public purpose within the City’s discretion. The implementation fee shall be separate from all other fees or costs which are standard and uniformly 088235\17652367v7
7 20958695.1
applied to similar projects in the City, including, but not limited to, business license fees (due by Developer to City annually), plan check fees, building permit fee, fees and costs associated with CEQA review and compliance, or any fees and costs associated with obtaining any required permits or approvals required by the State of California, including any permits or approvals required by Caltrans. City hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Developer against any and all its use of the implementation fee, and Developer shall have no indemnification responsibilities regarding it.
(b) Minimum Annual Guarantee (“MAG”). In addition to the one-time implementation fee required under Section 2.5.1(a), Developer shall pay City an annual MAG fee of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “MAG Fee”) during the ten (10) year period of the Term of this Agreement payable in equal quarterly installments paid to the City on the first of the month following Digital Display becoming Operational and each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 thereafter. In the event that Developer exercises its option to extend the Term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4, the annual MAG during the Extended Term shall be One Hundred and Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000.00) per year payable in equal quarterly installments to the City in accordance with this Subsection (b). For any portion of the Term that is less than a full calendar quarter, the MAG shall be prorated based on the number of days in the Term occurring during such calendar quarter and actual number of days in such calendar quarter. (c) Percentage Fee. To the extent that seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) (the “Annual Revenue Share Percentage”) of the Annual Gross Revenue exceeds the MAG for the completed Term year, Developer shall make an additional payment to the City within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the MAG Commencement Date in the amount by which (i) the Annual Revenue Share Percentage multiplied by (ii) the Annual Gross Revenue collected by Developer for the immediate preceding Term year exceeds the MAG amount paid by Developer to the City pursuant to Section 2.5.1(b) for such Term year. In no event shall the amount of the Development Fees due under Section 2.5.1 of this Agreement be less than the MAG.
Example: ($700,000 x 17.5%) = $122,500 - $100,000 = $22,500 (1) Reports. Developer shall furnish to City an annual statement of Annual Gross Revenue for the Digital Display within thirty (30) Days after the end of each year of the Term. Such statement shall be in a form acceptable to City. Each statement shall be signed and certified to be correct by a duly authorized officer of Developer. Developer shall keep and make available complete and materially accurate books of account, records, cash receipts and other pertinent data, in accordance with good accounting practices and in a form approved by City, showing the Annual Gross Revenue, including without limitation, materially accurate records of every sale and other transaction made for any advertising display on the Digital Display and any commissions paid by Developer. Such books of account, records, cash receipts, or other pertinent data shall be kept for a period of no less than four (4) years after the end of each year. The receipt by City of any statement, or any payment of the Percentage Fee for any period, will not bind City as to the correctness of the statement or payment.
088235\17652367v7
8 20958695.1
(2) Inspection and Audit. City, at its sole option, shall be entitled, at any time during the Term and Extended Term, if applicable, during normal business hours and with prior written notice of thirty (30) Days to Developer, to inspect, examine, and audit Developer's books, records and cash receipts as related to Annual Gross Revenue. Developer shall cooperate fully with City and City's agents in making the examination. City, at its option, will also be entitled once during each year of the Term and once after the Expiration Date or other termination of this Agreement, to cause an independent audit of such records to be performed by a certified public accountant designated by City, provided such accountant is not paid on a contingency fee basis. The audit will be conducted during usual business hours at Developer’s office located at 1731 Workman Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. If the audit shows that there is a deficiency in the payment of any Percentage Fee, then Developer shall promptly upon notice pay the deficiency to City which payment will not require any penalty or other late fee. City will pay the costs of the audit unless the audit shows that Developer understated Annual Gross Revenue by more than three (3%) percent in which case Developer shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs paid to third party consultants and incurred by City in connection with the audit. (d) Late Charge; Default Interest.
(1) Late Charge. If Developer fails to pay any payments or fees required under this Agreement within ten (10) Days after receipt of written notice of non-payment from the City after the same is due and payable, such unpaid amount shall be subject to a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount in each instance. The late payment charge has been agreed upon by City and Developer, after negotiation, as a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs and detriment that City will incur as a result of any such failure by Developer, the actual costs thereof being extremely difficult—if not impossible— to determine. The late payment charge constitutes liquidated damages to compensate City for its damages resulting from such failure to pay, and Developer shall promptly pay such charge to City together with any unpaid interest.
(2) Default Interest. If any payments or fees are not paid within ten (10) Days following the due date and after receipt of written notice of non-payment from the City, such unpaid amount will bear simple interest at the rate of 10% per year or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower (“Default Rate”) from the due date until paid. However, interest will not be payable on late charges incurred by Developer, nor on any amounts on which late charges are paid by Developer to the extent this interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of 10% per year. Payment of interest will not excuse or cure any default by Developer. (3) Application of Payments. All payments received by City from Developer will be applied to the oldest obligation owed by Developer to City. No designation by Developer, either in a separate writing, on a check or money order, or otherwise will modify this Agreement or have any force or effect.
088235\17652367v7
9 20958695.1
(e) Material Default. A failure by Developer to pay any of the fees listed under this Section 2.5.1 of the Agreement within thirty (30) Days of the applicable due date for such payment shall constitute a material default under Section 6.1.1 of this Agreement.
2.6 City Usage of Digital Display. To the extent that commercial advertising time on the Billboard is unsold and available, City shall have the right to use up to five percent (5%) of the total advertising time to promote civic and public purposes that serve the needs of the City and its residents, including but not limited to, City events and programs (such usage “City Usage”). City Usage shall be displayed (subject to the terms of this Agreement) during the operation of the Digital Display in increments, equally spread throughout each 24-hour day, and otherwise in the same manner as other commercial advertising displayed on the Digital Display. The City shall submit all proposed copy to Developer not less than ten (10) business days prior to the date the copy is proposed to be displayed. All proposed City Advertising copy shall be prepared and submitted at the City’s sole cost, shall be in a format ready for posting on the Digital Display, and shall be subject to Developer’s standard advertising copy rejection and removal policies, which allow Developer to approve or disapprove copy and remove copy once posted or displayed. City represents and warrants that all copy, content and materials supplied by City to Developer for display under this Agreement: (i) are owned or duly licensed by City and do not infringe or misappropriate the rights of any other person or entity; (ii) comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations and any industry codes or rules by which City and/or Developer may be bound and do not contain any obscene, libelous, slanderous or otherwise defamatory materials or refer in an offensive manner to the gender, race or ethnicity of any individual or group; (iii) are accurate and that all claims contained therein have been substantiated; and (iv) do not infringe upon any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property or privacy right of any third party. Any content provided by City shall be owned and belong exclusively to the City, and Developer shall not reproduce, sell, or give away any such content without the advance written consent of the City. City hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Developer against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fees and expenses arising out of or in connection with the City Usage, including but not limited to any claim for defamation, or infringement of any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property or privacy right and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in defending any such claim. Developer shall have no indemnification responsibilities regarding the City Usage.
2.6.1 Emergency Notifications. Without any offset in the City Usage described above and at no cost to the City, Developer shall make the Digital Display available to Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol for purposes of “Amber Alerts” and be connected to the National Emergency Network for emergency or disaster notifications by local, state, or federal agencies.
2.6.2 Jurisdictional Sign. In addition, Developer agrees to construct and install on the Billboard an illuminated jurisdictional sign naming the City of Pico Rivera at no cost to City with the final design agreed to between the City and Developer, where such final design shall be consistent with the terms of the Outdoor Advertising Act. City hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Developer against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fees and 088235\17652367v7
10 20958695.1
expenses arising out of or in connection with this provision, and Developer shall have no indemnification responsibilities regarding the aforementioned jurisdictional sign.
2.6.3 Fixed Facility Fee: Should Developer enter into any agreement for the installation of an antenna or wireless communication device or ancillary equipment for cellular, data, wi-fi or other service on the Billboard pole (the “Device”), Developer shall pay the City an annual fixed facility fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the gross revenue collected as a result of the Device as additional revenue. The City shall have the right to review and audit the revenue received within 30 days upon request.
2.6.4 Local Business Development: Developer shall provide a 10% reduction in any applicable rates for advertising on the Billboard to any current member of the Pico Rivera Chamber of Commerce with a business address located within the City of Pico Rivera. City hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Developer against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fees and expenses arising out of or in connection with this provision, and Developer shall have no indemnification responsibilities regarding any discounts contemplated by this Section.
2.7 Prohibited Use. Developer shall not utilize any of the Digital Displays to advertise or display messages that are:
2.7.1 inherently false, misleading, or libelous (i.e., speech that is incapable of being presented in a manner that is not misleading);
2.7.2 promotes the sale or use of firearms, tobacco products, smoking or vaping, whether directly or indirectly;
2.7.3 promotes sexually oriented materials, adult businesses, entertainment, products, conventions, events, or websites; and

3. DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT.
3.1 Rights to Develop Billboard on the Site. Subject to and during the Term of this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to develop the Project on the Site in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Final Permits, the Land Use Regulations, and this Agreement, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to modify or amend the Lease.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. The rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Site, the density and intensity of such uses, the maximum height and size of proposed structures, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Project shall be as set forth in the Land Use Regulations, as such term is defined in Section 1.1.10, which are in full force and effect on the Effective Date.
3.3 Development Approvals. City agrees that Developer's ability (and obligations hereunder) to develop and operate the Billboard is dependent upon Developer obtaining all Final Permits and Development Approvals. Developer shall, at its own expense and before commencement of demolition, construction or development of any structures or other work of improvement upon the Site, secure or cause to be secured all necessary Development Approvals, which shall include any and all permits and approvals which may be required by City or any other governmental agency or utility affected by such construction, development or work to be performed by Developer, including but not limited to, necessary building permits and all approvals required under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). Not by way of limiting the foregoing, in developing and constructing the Project, Developer shall comply with all (1) development standards in City's Municipal Code applicable on the Effective Date, (2) NPDES requirements pertaining to the Project applicable on the Effective Date, (3) all applicable building codes applicable on the Effective Date, except as the Project may be permitted through approved variances and modifications, and (4) all Caltrans rules and regulations necessary to obtain an Outdoor Advertising Permit. Developer shall pay all normal and customary fees and charges applicable to such permits, and any fees and charges hereafter imposed by City in connection with the Project which are standard and uniformly applied to similar projects in the City.
3.4 Timing of Project. Developer shall commence the Project within one hundred eighty (180) days after obtaining the Final Permits. “Commencement" of the Project is herein defined as the start of construction of the Billboard on the Site under the applicable Final Permits.
In the event Developer fails to commence such construction within one hundred eighty (180) days after obtaining the Final Permits, and after compliance with Section 5.3, either party hereto may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party, and, in the event of such termination, neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder. However, if circumstances within the scope of Section 8.10 delay the commencement or completion of the Project, it would not constitute grounds for any termination rights found within this Agreement. In such case, the timeline to commence or complete the relevant task shall be extended in the manner set forth at Section 8.10. Notwithstanding the above, Developer shall, at all times, comply with all other obligations set forth in this Agreement regarding construction of the Project on the Site. Developer 088235\17652367v7

3.4.1 Maintenance.

Such maintenance and repair shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) sweeping and trash removal related to the Billboard; (ii) ongoing maintenance by the Developer of any access area to the Billboard to minimize dust caused by the Project; (iii) the adequate and complete removal or painting over of all graffiti within 48 hours of notice of such graffiti being affixed on the Billboard; and (iv) the repair, replacement and repainting of the structure and the Digital Displays as necessary to maintain such Billboard in good condition and repair.

3.4.3 In the event ten percent (10%) or more of the digital sign face is not operating correctly or in the event of a malfunction, Developer shall immediately turn the entire display off, or show a one hundred percent (100%) black image on the display until corrected.
3.5 Removed Billboards. City and Developer acknowledge that Developer will permanently remove the Removed Billboards within one hundred eighty (180) days after Developer receives Final Permits. City and Developer agree that Developer may toll the demolition and removal of the Removed Billboards in the event there is a legal challenge to this Agreement or to Final Permit. The tolling period shall last until the date upon which any legal challenge is resolved such that Developer may proceed with construction and operation of the Billboard, unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated, in which case the obligation to demolish and remove the Removed Billboards shall become null and void.
3.6 Changes and Amendments. Developer may determine that changes to the Development Approvals are appropriate and desirable. In the event Developer makes such a determination, Developer may apply in writing for an amendment to the Development Approvals to effectuate such change(s). The Parties acknowledge that City shall be permitted to use its inherent land use authority in deciding whether to approve or deny any such amendment request; provided, 088235\17652367v7
13 20958695.1
however, that in exercising the foregoing the City shall use reasonable discretion and shall not apply a standard different than that used in evaluating requests of other developers. Accordingly, under no circumstance shall City be obligated in any manner to approve any amendment to the Development Approvals. The City Manager shall be authorized to approve, without processing an amendment to this Agreement, any non-substantive amendment to the Development Approvals that does not: (i) adversely impact and/or diminish Developer’s or City’s rights as provided hereunder and (ii) affect and/or block the visibility of the Digital Display or accessibility to the Billboard or (iii) decreases the public benefits set forth herein. All other amendments shall require approval of the City Council.
Nothing herein shall cause Developer to be in default under this Agreement if it upgrades the Digital Display or the Billboard to incorporate newer technology or design; provided Developer shall secure all applicable ministerial permits to do so and such upgrade is consistent with the dimensions provided in this Agreement and any Land Use Regulations in effect at the time.
3.7 Reservation of Authority

(d) Regulations that are not in conflict with the vested Land Use Regulations, Development Approvals, or this Agreement.
(e) Regulations that are in conflict with the Development Approvals or this Agreement, provided Developer has given written consent to the application of such regulations to the development of the Project.
(f) Applicable Federal, State, County, and multi-jurisdictional laws and regulations which the City is required to enforce against the Site or the development of the Project and that do not have an exception for existing signs or legal nonconforming uses. 088235\17652367v7
14 20958695.1
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 3.6.1(a)-(f), if any such changes materially change Developer's costs or otherwise materially impact its performance hereunder, Developer may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.
3.7.2 Future Discretion of City. This Agreement shall not prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any application for a subsequent development approval on the basis of Subsequent Land Use Regulations.
3.7.3 Modification or Suspension by Federal, State, County, or MultiJurisdictional Law. In the event that applicable federal, State, County, or multi-jurisdictional laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, and there is no exception for the legal nonconforming use, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such federal, State, County, or multi-jurisdictional laws or regulations, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such change materially changes Developer's costs or otherwise materially impacts its performance hereunder, Developer may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.
3.8 Regulations by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not subject to control by City may possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Project as contemplated herein, and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. Developer acknowledges and represents that, in addition to the Land Use Regulations, Developer shall, at all times, comply with all applicable federal, State and local laws and regulations applicable to the Billboard and Site that do not have an exception for a legal nonconforming use. To the extent such other public agencies preclude development or maintenance of the Project and do not have an exception for a legal nonconforming use, Developer shall not be further obligated under this Agreement except as provided in Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such action by another public agency materially changes Developer's costs or otherwise materially impacts its performance hereunder to the extent it is no longer commercially reasonable for Developer to continue operations of the Billboard, Developer may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.
3.9 Public Improvements. The Billboard is not a public infrastructure.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, City shall retain the right to condition any subsequent development approvals for the Billboard to require Developer to pay any required development fees, and/or to construct the required public infrastructure at such time as City shall determine.
3.10 Fees, Taxes Assessments. This Agreement shall not prohibit the application of customary fees, taxes, or assessments upon the Site.

4. REMOVAL OF BILLBOARDS
4.1 Removal of Billboard by Developer. If the Parties do not extend the Term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4 above, or if Developer breaches this Agreement after notice and a right to cure as provided in Section 5.3, or if the Lease otherwise terminates before the expiration of this Agreement or following the natural expiration of the Term or extensions thereof, Developer shall remove the Billboard before lease termination and cancel this Agreement as provided in Section 2.4. If Developer does not timely remove the Billboard and other improvements as required by this Section, City may, but shall not be required to, remove or cause the removal of the Billboard and related structures on the Site at Developer's expense. Developer shall reimburse City within thirty (30) days of receipt of an itemized accounting of the cost for such removal.
If the Lease terminates before the expiration of this Agreement, Developer will remove the Billboard concurrently with the Lease termination and cancel this Agreement as provided in Section 2.4. If Developer does not timely remove the Billboard and other improvements as required by this Section, City may, but shall not be required to, remove or cause the removal of the Billboard at Developer's expense. Developer shall reimburse City within thirty (30) days of receipt of an itemized accounting of the cost for such removal.
City and Developer agree that Developer shall be the exclusive owner and operator of the Billboard, and that all equipment comprising the Billboard shall remain the personal property of Developer and shall not become fixtures of the Site and City shall have no right, title or interest in Billboard or any component of the Billboard, notwithstanding the manner in which the Billboard is or may be physically attached, mounted or adhered to the Site.
4.2 City’s Right to Removal. Provided Developer is not in material breach hereof and subject to the notice and cure provisions in Section 5.3 herein, City will not have the right to: (i) remove the Billboard, (ii) limit access to the Billboard, or (iii) limit the visibility of the Billboard, in any way, which is under their control. Should Developer breach this Agreement, City may only require removal of the Billboard subject to Developer’s rights in Section 4.1.
5. REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE.
5.1 Annual Review. The City may review this Agreement annually, at City's sole cost, to ascertain Developer’s good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement ("Annual Review").
However, no failure on the part of City to conduct or complete an Annual Review as provided herein shall have any impact on the validity of this Agreement. Developer shall cooperate with City in the conduct of any Annual Review and timely provide the following information and documentation to City: (1) description of all complaints received regarding the Billboard that were unrelated to the content of any message displayed, (2) any updates to Developer's contact information, (3) status and amount of all payment obligations to the City required under this Agreement, (4) any easement or Lease changes that could in any way materially impact the City or Developer’s obligations under this Agreement, (5) any utility changes that could in any way materially impact the City or the 088235\17652367v7
16 20958695.1
obligations under this Agreement, and (6) any maintenance issues addressed or needing to be addressed per the maintenance requirements herein.
5.2 City Rights of Access. Subject to City's execution of a permit to enter the Site City’s officers, employees, agents and contractors, shall have the right, at their sole risk and expense, to enter the Site at all reasonable times with as little interference as possible to the operation of the Billboard thereon (and on no less than forty-eight (48) hours notice), for the purpose of assuring compliance with this Agreement, conducting the Annual Review under this Section 5, as well as inspecting the construction, reconstruction, relocation, maintenance, repair and service of any Equipment installed pursuant to Section 2.6.3, or to perform any rights of the City under Section
4.2 above. Any damage or injury to the Site or to the Billboard thereon resulting from such entry shall be promptly repaired at the City’s sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision in this Agreement (including without limitation Section 4.2 above), City shall have no right to enter the Site unless and until City executes and delivers to Developer a permit to enter (except that this provision is not intended to interfere with the City's police powers to address any nuisance, dangerous condition, or other condition pursuant to the City's ordinances). City understands that it might need to obtain separate consent to enter the Site from the owner of the fee simple interest in the Site. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will City representatives ever climb up the pole of the Billboard during any inspection.
5.3 Procedure. Each party shall have a reasonable opportunity to assert matters, which it believes, have not been undertaken in accordance with the Agreement, to explain the basis for such assertion, and to receive from the other party a justification of its position on such matters. If either party concludes that the other party has not complied in good faith with the terms of the Agreement, then such party may issue a written "Notice of Non-Compliance" (“Notice”) specifying the grounds therefore and all facts demonstrating such non-compliance. The party receiving a Notice shall have thirty (30) days to cure or remedy the non-compliance identified in the Notice, or if such cure or remedy is not reasonably capable of being carried out to completion within such thirty (30) day period, to commence to cure or remedy the noncompliance and to diligently and in good faith prosecute such cure or remedy to completion. If the party receiving the Notice does not believe it is out of compliance, it may contest the Notice by responding in writing to said Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice. If a response to the Notice has not been received in the offices of the party alleging the non-compliance within the prescribed time period, the Notice shall be conclusively presumed to be valid. If a Notice is contested, the parties shall, for a period of not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of the response, seek to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter(s) occasioning the Notice. In the event a cure or remedy is not timely effected or, if the Notice is contested and the parties are not able to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter(s) by the end of the fifteen (15) day period, the party alleging the non-compliance may thereupon pursue the remedies provided in Section 6. Neither party hereto shall be deemed in breach of this Agreement if the reason for non-compliance is due to a "force majeure" as defined in, and subject to the provisions of Section 8.10.
5.4 Certificate of Agreements Compliance. If, at the conclusion of an Annual Review, Developer is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, City shall, upon request by 088235\17652367v7
17 20958695.1
Developer, issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance ("Certificate") to Developer stating that, after the most recent Annual Review or Special Review, and based upon the information known or made known to the City Manager and City Council: (1) this Agreement remains in effect and (2) Developer is in compliance. The Certificate shall be in recordable form and shall contain information necessary to communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance.
Developer may record the Certificate with the County Recorder. Additionally, Developer may, at any time, request from the City a Certificate stating, in addition to the foregoing, which obligations under this Agreement have been fully satisfied with respect to the Site.
6. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
6.1 Termination of Agreement.
6.1.1 Termination of Agreement for Material Default of Developer. City, in its discretion, may terminate this Agreement for any material failure of Developer to perform any material duty or obligation of Developer hereunder or to comply in good faith with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "default" or "breach") after complying with the notice and cure period set forth in Subsection 5.3. In the event of a termination by City under this Section, Developer acknowledges and agrees that City will retain all Fees paid to City and accrued up to the date of the termination. However, this Section 6.1.1 shall have no effect on Developer’s rights as set forth in section 4.1.
6.1.2 Material Default of City. Developer, in its discretion, may terminate or seek any other remedy it deems appropriate for any material failure of City to perform any material duty or obligation of City hereunder or to comply in good faith with the term of this Agreement; provided, however, Developer may seek such remedy pursuant to this Section only after following the procedure set forth in Section 5.3.

8.17 Eminent Domain. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain or Developer's right to seek and collect just compensation or any other remedy available to it.
8.18 Amendments in Writing/Cooperation. This Agreement may be amended only by written consent of both parties specifically approving the amendment and in accordance with the Government Code provisions for the amendment of development agreements. The parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any amendment proposed in order to clarify the intent and application of this Agreement and shall treat any such proposal on its own merits, and not as a basis for the introduction of unrelated matters.

Task One The footings for the electronic sign structure are completed. The estimated column depth for the electronic sign' support will be 30 feet and the diameter will be 5 5 feet This results in an export of between 28 to 144 cubic yards of dirt for the electronic sign ( i e , with a 2 feet pad added to the 3o feet deep column, the size of the footing is 32 feet by 5. feet). In addition to the drilling rig, the construction team uses a skip loader (bucket truck), dump truck for soil export, and water truck as needed to water down dust. Any excavated areas are required to be fully covered. The construction crew installs the sign column and then pours the concrete.
The crew utilizes a crane truck, a flatbed truck (to carry in the prefabricated columns), and a concrete truck. A fast -setting concrete is utilized, allowing the concrete to cure overnight. 8 Task Two: The crew erects the sign supports and the signs. For this construction activity, a crane truck is utilized and a flatbed truck is required to transport the structure and sign faces. The electrical connections are then installed. This task will take one to two days to complete The crew completes any other necessary tasks to complete the structures and clean up the installation site Task Three: Any necessary landscapmg repairs and improvements would also be made The installation of the column cover would take approximately one week.

This light spillover is referred to as light trespass which is typically defined as the presence of unwanted light on properties located adjacent to the source of lightmg. Sensitive receptors refer to land uses and/ or activities that are especially sensitive to light and typically include homes, schools, playgrounds, hospitals, convalescent homes, and other similar facilities where children or the elderly may congregate No light sensitive receptors are located adjacent to the project site The nearest sensitive receptor are residential homes located approximately 2, 40o feet to the west and southeast of the project site.
An electronic display billboard is a large screen made up of LED ( light emitting diode) bulbs which are arranged and timed to create static, changing or full motion text and images The State Law does not allow for any digital messages to change ( or cycle) faster than 4 seconds The industry standard is to run eight advertising spots, 8 seconds each for a 64 -second loop. The new sign' lummosity would adhere to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) luminosity policy of not exceeding a brightness of o 3 footcandles above the ambient light The new electronic display billboard would be located on a property that is commercial The new sign would feature light -emitting diode (" LED") displays As opposed to incandescent signs, LED signs are highly directional, which is an advantage in an urban setting since the light can be directed more precisely to the intended audience. Light measurements are completed in footcandles A foot- candle is the amount of light produced by a single candle when measured from one foot away. For reference, a ioo- watt light bulb produces 137 foot- candles at one foot away, o. o548 foot- candles at 50 feet and o 0137 foot- candles at ioo feet. Table 3- 1 represents the total increase in ambient light produced by the sign under typical operation at night

Light values in foot- candles at mght under typical operation The ambient light increases would be less than shown in the table since they fail to consider any objects blocking the line -of -sight to the sign Obstructions such as trees would further reduce real world overall ambient hght increases. In addition to obstructions, any existing light within the area will further diminish any light increase Given the above comparisons and measurements, the area will see an almost undetectable difference in ambient light after installation of the LED displays Ambient light levels are more heavily impacted by street, building and landscape lights than the increases produced by an LED display. Furthermore, the new sign would be required to include a photometric sensor that will adjust the intensity of the sign for daytime and nighttime viewing. The photometric sensor will be part of the electronic sign plans. The new digital sign would replace an older static billboard that was demolished in

The analysis presented in Tables 3-2 and 3- reflects projected emissions that are typically higher during the summer months and represent a worse - case scenario. As indicated m Tables 3-2 and 3-, the impacts
are considered to be less than significant. In addition, the SCAQMD Rule Book contains numerous regulations governing various activities undertaken within the district Among these regulations is Rule 403 2 - Fugitive Dust Control for the South Coast Planning Area, which was adopted m 1996 for the purpose of controlling fugitive dust. Adherence to Rule 403 2 regulations is required for all projects
undertaken within the district Future construction truck drivers must also adhere to Title 13 - § 2485 of the California Code of Regulations, which limits the idling of diesel -powered vehicles to less than five minutes Adherence to the aforementioned standard condition would minimize odor impacts from diesel trucks.
Adherence to Rule 403 Regulations and Title 13 - § 2485 of the California Code of Regulations would further reduce the potential impacts As a
result, the impacts would be less than significant.
C. Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? • Less than SignificantImpact
According to the SCAQMD, residences, schools, daycare centers, playgrounds, and medical facilities are considered sensitive receptor land uses. The nearest sensitive receptor are residential homes located approximately 2, 400 feet to the west and southeast of the project site. As a result, the sensitive receptors would not be within the localized significant threshold area. Adherence to additional mandatory Rule 403 regulations would reduce fugitive dust emissions by approximately 5o% to levels that are less than significant Rule 403 requires that temporary dust covers be used on any piles of excavated or imported earth to reduce wind- blown dust. In addition, all clearing, earthmoving, or excavation activities must be discontinued during periods of high winds ( i e , greater than 15 mph), so as to prevent excessive amounts of fugitive dust. Following the mandatory regulations, the project impacts would be less than significant.

Due to the current state of the installation site and the level of development in the surrounding area, the installation sites does not offer a suitable habitat for any species. There are no local or regional plans, policies, or regulations that identify any npanan habitat or other sensitive natural community at or adjacent to the installation sites nor does the California Department of Fish and Wildlife identify any such habitat. A review of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, Wetlands Mapper confirmed that there are no wetlands or riparian habitat present withm or adjacent to the installation site The nearest wetland is the forested wetland located approximately 300 feet south of the proposed digital billboard As a
result, less than significant impacts on natural or riparian habitats would result C. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on Federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc) through direst removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? • No Impact.
According to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, Wetlands Mapper, the forested wetland located approximately 30o feet south of the proposed digital billboard is classified as a Freshwater Forested/ Shrub Wetland habitat. 27The proposed project will not remove, fill, or interrupt the flow of the San Gabriel River ( located approximately 2, 40o feet northwest of the project site) because the proposed project will be restricted to the designated project site and will not intrude on the San Gabriel River As a result, the proposed project would not impact any protected wetland area. 4Audubon Willow, flycatcher http.// birds. auubon. org/ birds/ willow- flycatcher 25 US Fish and Wildhfe Service Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office, Pubhc Advisory http:// www. fws. gov/ sacramento/ outreach/ Pu3hc- Advisories/ WesternYellow- Bi1ledCuckoo/ outreach PA Western- Yellow- BiledCuckoo. htm 26 Center for Plant Conservation Orcuttia Californica http.// www. centerforplantconservation. org/ collection/ cpc viewprofile. asp 27 U S Fish and Wildhfe Service National Wetlands Inventory https // fwspnmary wim usgs. gov/ wetlands/ apps/ wetlands- mapper/

A number of variables will affect the potential power consumption of an electronic billboard including sign face size, resolution ( how close pixels are spaced, also referred to as the diode density), how many LEDs ( light emitting diodes) are in each pixel, the color capabilities of the board ( tricolor or full color), the image being displayed and the time of day ( day -time operation requires more power than night- tme operation, as the ht image must compete with the brightness of the sun) The average annual energy consumption for LED billboards in the Los Angeles region is 61, 032 kilowatt hours (" kWh") For purposes of comparison, a
typical single family home m the U. S. will consume 11, 040 kWh annually. 31 According to the Applicant, the electronic signs will draw 5o amps, which translates to an annual usage of 52,60 kWh Using these figures, the proposed electronic signs have an annual energy consumption which is less than average for the Los Angeles region However, this number may be lower depending on the many factors The proposed electronic signs would use electncal energy and would be constructed pursuant to current electrical codes, including Title 24 of the State Building Code In addition, the digital billboard would include a photometric sensor that will adjust the intensity of the sign for daytime and nighttime viewing.
The installation of the electronic signs will not result in excessive energy consumption because the materials used in the construction of electronic signs are manufactured off -site and would be installed 31 Young, Gregory The Basics ofDigital Stgnage and Energy Consumption http.// www. scenic. org/ storage/ documents/ EXCERPT The Basics of Digital Signage and Energy Consumption. pdf.

The City is located m a seismically active region with many major and minor local faults traverse the entire Southern California region Earthquakes from several active and potentially active faults m the Southern California region could affect the proposed installation site The nearby faults are summarized below
East Montebello Fault. The East Montebello Fault is located approximately 2 miles northwest of the project site
Whittier -Elsinore Fault. The Whittier fault extends over 20 miles from the Whittier Narrows area contmumg southeasterly to the Santa Ana River where it merges with the southeasterly trending Elsinore fault These two faults, combined with smaller faults, form the Whittier -Elsinore fault zone The Whittier -Elsinore Fault is located approximately 1. 5 miles southwest of the project site Walnut Creek Fault. The Walnut Creek fault is located approximately 4. 5 miles northeast of the project site
In 1972, the Alquist- Prolo Earthquake Zoning Act was passed in response to the damage sustained in the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake 33 The Alquist- Prolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act' s main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults 34 The City of Pico Rivera is not on the list; therefore, no risk from potential fault rupture is anticipated. 35 According to the United States Geological Survey, liquefaction is the process by which water - saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid. Essentially, liquefaction is the process by which the ground soil loses strength due to an increase in water pressure following seismic activity The risk of liquefaction is no greater for the project site than the rest of the City Lastly, the project site is not at risk for landslides. The proposed project is at no greater nsk for ground shaking, fault rupture, and liquefaction than the rest of the City Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant B.

Lateral spreading is a phenomenon that is characterized by the horizontal, or lateral, movement of the ground Lateral spreading could be liquefaction -induced or can be the result of excess moisture within the underlying soils. As previously indicated, no liquefaction risk is present Subsidence occurs via soil shrinkage and is triggered by a significant reduction in an underlying groundwater table, thus causing the earth on top to sink Shrinking and swelling is influenced by the amount of clay present in the underlying soils. As previously mentioned, the proposed electronic sign would be subject to all applicable City and state building regulations, including the California Building Code to ensure that potential impacts are addressed As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.

The generation of greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, and,
The potential for conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases
The accumulation of GHG m the atmosphere regulates the earth' stemperature Without these natural GHG, the Earth' ssurface would be about 61° F cooler. However, emissions from fossil fuel combustion have elevated the concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere to above natural levels. These man-ade GHG will have the effect of warmmg atmospheric temperatures with the attendant impacts of changes in the global climate, Increased sea levels, and changes to the worldwide biome The major GHG that influences global warming are described below.
Water Vapor Water vapor is the most abundant GHG present m the atmosphere. While water vapor is not considered a pollutant, it remains in the atmosphere and maintams a climate necessary for life. Changes in the atmospheric concentration of water vapor are directly related to the warming of the atmosphere rather than a direct result of industrialization As a GHG, the higher concentration of water vapor is then able to absorb more thermal indirect energy radiated from the Earth, thus further warmmg the atmosphere When water vapor increases in the atmosphere, more of it will eventually also condense into clouds, which are more able to reflect incoming solar radiation. This will allow less energy to reach the Earth' ssurface thereby affecting surface temperatures

Since the industnal revolution began in the mid- 17oo' s, these activities have increased the atmospheric concentrations of CO.. Emissions of CO. from fossil fuel combustion and industnal processes contributed about 78% of the total GHG emissions increase from 1970 to 2010, with a similar percentage contribution for the mcrease during the period 2000 to 2010
Methane ( CH4) CH4 is an extremely effective absorber of radiation, although its atmospheric concentration is less than that of CO. Methane' slifetime in the atmosphere is brief (io to 12 years), compared to some other GHGs ( such as CO., N2O, and Chlorofluorocarbons ( CFCs). CH4 has both natural and anthropogenic sources It is released as part of the biological processes in low oxygen environments, such as in swamplands or in rice production ( at the roots of the plants) Over the last 5o years, human activities such as growing rice, raising cattle, using natural gas, and mining coal have added to the atmospheric concentration of methane Other human - related sources of methane production include fossil -fuel combustion and biomass burning Nitrous Oxide ( N2O). Concentrations of N2O also began to increase at the begmning of the industrial revolution In 1998, the global concentration of this GHG was documented at 314 parts per billion ( ppb) N2O is produced by microbial processes in soil and water, including those reactions which occur in fertilizer containing nitrogen. In addition to agricultural sources, some industrial processes ( fossil fuel -fired power plants, nylon production, nitric acid production, and vehicle emissions) also contribute to its atmospheric load. It is also commonly used as an aerosol spray propellant.
Chlorofluorocarbons ( CFC). CFCs are gases formed synthetically by replacing all hydrogen atoms in methane or ethane ( C2H6) with chlorine and/ or fluorine atoms. CFCs are nontoxic, nonflammable, insoluble, and chemically unreactive in the troposphere ( the level of air at the Earth' s surface) CFCs have no natural source but were first synthesized in 1928 It was used for refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and cleaning solvents Hydrofluorocarbons ( HFC). HFCs are synthetic man-ade chemicals that are used as a substitute for CFCs. Out of all the GHGs, they are one of three groups with the highest global warming potential HFCs are human - made and used for applications such as automobile air conditioners and refrigerants
Perfluorocarbons ( PFC). PFCs have stable molecular structures and do not break down through the chemical processes in the lower atmosphere High- energy ultraviolet rays about 6o kilometers above Earth' s surface are able to destroy the compounds. Because of this, PFCs have very long lifetimes, between io, 000 and 50, 000 years Two common PFCs are tetrafluoromethane ( CF4) and hexafluoroethane ( C2F6). Concentrations of CF4 in the atmosphere are over 70 ppt. The two main sources of PFCs are primary aluminum production and semiconductor manufacturing Sulfur Hexafluoride ( SF6). SF6 is an morganic, odorless, colorless, nontoxic, nonflammable gas.
SF6 has the highest global warming potential of any gas evaluated; 23, 900 times that of CO.
Concentrations in the 199os where about 4 ppt. Sulfur hexafluonde is used for insulation In electric power transmission and distnbution equipment, in the magnesium industry, in semiconductor manufactunng, and as a tracer gas for leak detection.

3.8. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
A. Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a' significant Impact on the environment? • Less than Significant Impact a The State of California requires CEQA documents to do an evaluation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. GHG are emitted by both natural processes and human activities. Examples of GHG that are produced both by natural and industrial processes include carbon dioxide ( CO2), methane ( CH4), and nitrous oxide (N20). Carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2E, is a term that is used for descnbmg different greenhouses gases in a common and collective unit The SCAQMD established the 3, 000 MTCO2 threshold for residential land uses. As indicated m Table 3-4, the operational CO2E is '7. 63 MTCO2 per year, which is well below the threshold.

The passage of Assembly Bill ( AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, established the California target to achieve reductions inn GHG to 1990 GHG emission levels by the year 2020 36 As indicated previously, the installation and operation of the proposed electronic sign will result m the generation of a limited amount of emissions that will be below the SCAQMD' sthresholds ( refer to Table 3-2) The only operational emissions will involve vehicle trips made by maintenance vehicles and off -site emissions for electricity generation to power the electromc signs, which are minimal As indicated m Section 3.6, Energy, A, the electronic signs will not result m wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy dunng installation or operation. Furthermore, the adoption of the Municipal Code Amendment will not involve or require any variance from an adopted plan, policy, or regulation governing GHG emissions. As a result, no impacts would occur.

B. Would theproject substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge in such a way that would cause a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering
of the local groundwater table level ( e g., the production rate of a pre- existing nearby well would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? • No Impact.
A search was conducted through the Regional Water Quality Control Board' son- line database Geotracker to identify the presence of any natural underground water wells within or adjacent to the installation site The estimated column depth for the electronic sign' support would be 3o -feet and the footing diameter would be 5 5 feet ( i.e. the column diameter would be approximately 4 -feet). This results in an export of between 28 to 144 cubic yards of earth. The amount of disturbance within the existing surface parking lot would be minimal. The search yielded no results. 4° Therefore, excavation activities will not encounter and deplete groundwater supplies from any underlying aquifer. In addition, the digital billboard would only occupy approximately 5 square feet of land area and will not interfere substantially with groundwater recharge In addition, the operation of the electronic signs will not involve water use and will not deplete groundwater supplies As a result, no impacts would occur C.

The installation of the electronic sign would result in short- tem (construction -related) noise impacts during the approximate 20 day Installation period, though these noise impacts would be minimal Construction - related noise impacts would not be significant since the new sign would be located next to the I-605 Freeway, thus drownmg out construction - related noise due to high ambient noise levels In addition, the materials used in the construction of electronic signs are manufactured off -site. The electronic sign components would be transported to the individual locations where they would be assembled and installed. A change in traffic noise levels of between 3 o dBA and 5 o dBA is generally considered to be the limit where the change in the ambient noise levels may be perceived by persons with normal hearing.

No mobile ( traffic - related) noise or stationary noise will result from the operation of the digital billboard However, slight increases in ground -borne noise levels could occur during the approximate 20 day construction phase The increase in noise dunng the construction phase will be difficult to distinguish due to the high ambient vehicle noise levels that will be present along the surrounding roadways, including the I-605 Freeway The limited duration of construction activities ( approximately 20 days) and the City' s construction - related noise control requirements will reduce the potential impacts to levels that are less than significant.
Furthermore, the installation site is located approximately 2, 400 feet away from nearby sensitive receptors ( residential uses), thereby eliminating any significant noise impacts on sensitive receptors. As a result, the zmpacts would be less than significant.
C. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? • No Impact. MEL The project site is not located within two miles of an operational airport The nearest airport is the San Gabriel Valley Airport located approximately 4. 17 miles to the north of the site As a result, no zmpacts are expected with regard to excessive noise levels due to airfields.

The new electronic signs would not require the alteration or construction of roadways, thus eliminating the impacts related to sharp curves or dangerous intersections The existing configuration of the existing roadways will not change. The two new issue areas of specific concern include driver distraction and increased light and glare Studies have demonstrated that nearly one- fourth of motor vehicle accidents may be attnbuted to distracted drivers where their eyes are off the forward roadway lme- of- sight for a period of greater than two seconds. Nearly 8o% of the crashes and 65% of near crashes were caused by distractions that made the driver look away for up to three seconds It is very important to note that sources of distractions are numerous and mclude cellular phone use, internal vehicle controls, audio controls, and the various computer display systems now available m most new vehicles. Many states have laws against textmg, talking on a cell phone, and other distractions while driving A team from the New England University Transportation Center and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently addressed the relationship between the attention- grabbmg nature of digital billboards and dnver distraction m Accident Analysis and Prevention. The researchers involved in the preparation of this article explained that the flashing lights in ad -rotating digital billboards may be enough to evoke " obligatory shifts of covert visual attention" due to automatic, sensory reactions that take less than ioo milliseconds

CITY OF PICO RIVERA • INITIAL STUDY & MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION DIGITAL BILLBOARD • 8900 BAYBAR ROAD • APN 8125- 013-19 One of the most widely cited study was published in 2013 In Sweden. The Swedish Transport Administration had approved the installation of twelve electronic billboards for a trial period along a major heavily traveled roadway located m central Stockholm, Sweden The purpose of this study was to provide a quantifiable measure of the effect of these electronic billboards on visual behavior and driving performance. The study concluded that drivers had a significantly longer dwell time, a greater number of fixations, and longer maximum fixation duration when driving past an electronic billboard compared to the other signs on similar roadway segments No differences were found for the factors between the daytime and nighttime periods and no effect was found for the driving behavior data The study concluded that the electronic billboards have an effect on gaze behavior by attracting more and longer glances than regular traffic signs Whether the electronic billboards attract too much attention and constitute a traffic safety hazard cannot be answered conclusively based on the present data 42 In 2013, the Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA) issued the results of its digital billboard safety study, concluding that they were not a danger to traffic safety The study employed eye tracking equipment to determine how long drivers took their eyes offthe road when in the presence of digital billboards The FHWA study concluded that the longest fixation to a digital billboard was 1. 34 seconds, and to a standard billboard it was 1. 28 seconds, both of which are well below the accepted standard ( according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the accepted standard is 2 seconds) The FHWA study concluded that there was not any conclusive evidence that digital billboards presented a significant distraction to drivers. In accordance with the City' s Municipal Code 18 46 06o Operational Requirements, the digital billboard shall incorporate the following requirements.

ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Ajr Would the project substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plane • No Impact _
The proposed project would not involve the closure or alteration of any existing evacuation routes that would be important in the event of a wildfire. At no time durmg construction will adjacent streets be completely closed to traffic All construction staging must occur on -site As a result, no impacts would occur.
B. Would the project 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
The project site is located m the midst of an urbanized zoned area. However, the potential impacts would not be exclusive to the project site since criteria pollutant emissions from wildland fires may affect the entire City as well as the surrounding cities and unincorporated county areas. As a result, no impacts would occur
C. Would the project require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure ( such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate m fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? • No Impact The proposed electronic sign would not change the urban character of the installation site The project site has an on -site fire hydrant pursuant to the standards of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. As a result, no impacts will occur
D. Would the project expose people or s ctures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post fire slope instability, or drainage changes? • No Impact
The proposed project site is located within an area classified as urban and is not within a high fire risk and local responsibility area. Therefore, the project will not expose the future project site to flooding or landslides facilitated by runoff flowing down barren and charred slopes As a result, no impacts would occur
3. 20. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The analysis herein also determined that the proposed project would not result in any significant adverse impact on wildfires As a result, no cumulative impacts on utilities will occur
