Agenda — Roseville City Council, January 19, 2022 (part 3 of 9)

H. Modified duty assignments are limited to ninety (90) days. Should an employee have a disability that requires accommodation beyond ninety (90) days, a new assignment must be located and approved by the Human Resources Director.

In no case will a modified duty assignment be continued once an employee has reached a permanent and stationary status.

I. Modified duty shall be limited to three (3) ninety (90) day assignments. Upon completion of the third modified duty assignment the employee shall be removed from work until released to return to full duty or deemed permanent and stationary. The employee may use any benefits available to them at that time.

J. When an employee is assigned a modified duty assignment, the employee shall be compensated for hours worked at the regular rate of base salary and benefits regardless of whether or not the employee performs work within the regular classified position or is assigned to the employee’s regularly assigned department. If an employee is assigned to a modified duty assignment of less than full time, compensation for hours worked may be supplemented by either accrued sick leave or other available leave.

ARTICLE IV. LONG TERM VACANCIES
All vacancies are filled on a rank-for-rank basis in accordance with existing department Call Back Procedures. This does not prohibit the Working Down provision in Article I above. Effective July 01, 2014, when a vacancy becomes long term (greater than 30 days), the vacancy will become a “floating” vacancy.

Floating vacancies are to be filled with NO preference given to unit or station assignment. NO “reset” of a floating vacancy will be applied if the vacancy is moved to a different unit or shift assignment.

ARTICLE V. MODIFIED DUTY

1. Employees who are on a 24 hour shift schedule and who are placed in a modified duty assignment which is expected to last more than one (1) full pay period shall be assigned to a 40-hour work schedule the first day of the pay period following the modified duty assignment. All payroll calculations, to include leave balances, holidays and CTO shall be transitioned to a 40-hour work week calculation. Holiday leave usage will be applied per the 40-hour work week holiday schedule.

2. Employees who have returned to full duty status by a health care provider during the first week of a pay period will be transitioned from the 40-hour work week to a 24 hour shift schedule at the beginning of that pay period. Employees who have returned to full duty status by a health care provider during the second week of a pay period will be transitioned from the 40-hour work week to a 24 hour shift schedule at the beginning of the following pay period. All payroll calculations, including leave balances, holidays and CTO shall be transitioned back to a 24 hour shift schedule.

A. The City shall continue to provide for the safety of employees during the hours of their employment. In this regard, the City agrees that it will receive and consider written recommendations with respect to unsafe working conditions or other safety ideas in the area of working conditions from any employee or the Union; and the employees and the Union agree that they will forward their safety recommendations and ideas to the City.

Provided however that nothing herein is to be construed to mean that the City assumes the liability of any other party, or waives any rights, defenses to liability or causes of action that it may have in law or equity.

ARTICLE VI. MEMBERSHIP DUES AND AUTHORIZED DEDUCTIONS
A. The Association shall be entitled to have membership dues and other lawful deductions of its members deducted from their paychecks in accordance with the procedures required by law and set forth herein. To the extent required by Government Code Sections 1157.3 and 1157.12, the City shall honor employees’ voluntary authorizations for Association dues deductions from employee paychecks. Such authorized deductions shall be remitted monthly to Association along with an adequate itemized record of deductions. The City shall make every reasonable effort to remit the amounts deducted within ten (10) working days following the payday on which the deductions were made.

B. In making such authorized membership dues deductions, the City shall rely on written certification from the Association confirming that the Association has and will maintain authorizations signed by each individual employee from whose paychecks the deduction is to be made that the individual affirmatively consents to the dues deduction in a manner that meets the requirements of state and federal law, including but not limited to applicable provisions of Government Code Sections 1150-1157.12 and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. After providing the required certification, the Association shall not be required to provide a copy of individual authorizations to the City unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization. To the extent required by law, the City will rely on information provided by the Association in writing regarding whether dues deductions were properly cancelled or changed.

Any requests from the Association that the City change dues deductions shall include a certification that the changes are requested with the affirmative consent of the individual employee(s) and otherwise comply with all requirements of state and federal law.

C. The amount of membership dues shall be set by the Association. All changes in dues deductions shall become effective the first of the month following written notification to the City Chief Financial Officer.

Roseville Firefighters, Local 1592 - Term of Agreement: 1/1/1922-12/31/2125 Page 38 Memorandum of Understanding
D. The City agrees to direct all employees to the Association with regard to any questions or concerns related to membership dues or any other mutually agreed payroll deduction. The City agrees to send requests to cancel or change dues deductions to the Association.

E. The City agrees to provide to Association on a monthly basis a payroll dues deduction report.

F. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient, after other legal and required deductions are made, to cover the amount of the dues check-off authorized. When an employee, in good standing in the Association, is in a non-pay status, for the full pay period when his/her dues would normally be withheld, no dues deduction will be made to cover that withholding from the current or future earnings; nor will the employee deposit the amount with the City which would have been withheld if the employee had been in a pay status during that period. In the case of an employee who is in a non-pay status during only a part of the pay period and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. In this connection, all other legal and required deductions have priority over Association dues.

G. The Association shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, officers and agents (collectively hereafter the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising from the application of any provisions under this Article, including, but not limited to, any claims made by any member employees for the membership dues deductions the City made in reliance on the Association’s certification, and any claims made by any member employees for any deduction cancellation or modification the City made in reliance on the information provided by the Association, provided that the City promptly notify the Association of any such matter for which it is seeking indemnification after the City has knowledge of the occurrence of such matter.

H. In the event any such action or proceeding is brought against the City by reason of any such claim, the Association, upon notice from the City, covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City. Further, the Association agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees for any loss or damage arising from the Association’s actions or inactions under this Article.

ARTICLE VII. CAUSES FOR DISCIPLINE (Refer to Section 3.16.020, Personnel Rules) The Fire Department uses The City of Roseville Fire Department Administrative Investigation Manual as a guideline.

The discipline of City of Roseville employees, including Roseville Firefighters (RFF) members, may be by written reprimand, suspension, demotion, discharge, transfer for purposes of corrective measures or other actions not inconsistent with the provisions of the City Charter, and is governed by Article VIII of the City Charter, Section 8.04 Personnel Rules, Subsection (i), and Roseville Municipal Code Chapter 3.16 and applicable law including Government Code Section 3250 et. seq.

Roseville Municipal Code Section 3.16.020 provides details regarding the Causes for Discipline and Section 3.16.030 outlines the Types of Discipline available.

BACKGROUND
Since the adoption of Measure B in 2018, staff has continued evaluating opportunities to create additional revenue sources. One such opportunity is the Digital Billboard Project which presents an opportunity to produce millions of dollars in General Fund revenue over its life cycle and would provide a valuable marketing tool for the community and its businesses. There are two existing digital billboards in the City of Roseville, both are eastbound reads located on I-80. One is owned by the Roseville Automall (operated by Outfront Media) and the other is the City’s board located at Golfland SunSplash and operated in conjunction with Clear Channel Outdoor.

In April 2020, staff released the Digital Billboard Project Request for Proposals (RFP) and received three proposals. After staff evaluation of the proposals, it was determined there was too much variability between the proposals to move forward with a recommendation to City Council.

Therefore, in August 2020, staff rejected all proposals in order to further refine the scope of the Digital Billboard project and obtain direction from City Council. In October 2020, City Council provided the following direction:

1. Construct up to four (4) digital billboards with a maximum of two (2) on Interstate 80 and two (2) on State Route 65;

2. Construction timeframe within two (2) years from commencement of services; and,

3. Release the RFP without incorporating additional signage within the City (i.e. additional CMS signs for marketing and smaller digital signage near regional commercial zoned districts).

Based on City Council direction, staff issued a revised Digital Billboard RFP in December 2020.

The City received five (5) proposals from the following proposers: Clear Channel Outdoor, Outfront Media, Marquee Media, Media Choice and Foster Interstate. The proposals were evaluated by the following criteria:

Following extensive review by the evaluation committee, Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) was unanimously selected as the City’s number one proposer based on the stated evaluation criteria.

A copy of the Master Scoring Sheet is provided as Attachment 10. Additionally, CCO proposed the fewest number of signs with two locations and the highest guaranteed revenue to the City.

Staff, Clear Channel and both property owners have since arrived at mutually-agreeable lease terms and staff is recommending City Council approval of the associated documents.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SITE LOCATIONS:

Interstate 80:

The proposed digital billboard will be constructed at 260 S Harding Boulevard (APN 014-183- 029-000), a vacant parcel located directly adjacent to westbound lanes on I-80 and just south of Douglas Boulevard. The billboard would be located in a vacant, commercially-zoned and developed area of the City.

Project simulation: Westbound and eastbound I-80
State Route 65:

The proposed digital billboard will be constructed at 290 Conference Center Drive in the northern corner of the parcel (APN 363-011-086-000). The sign placement is proposed directly adjacent to southbound lanes on Hwy-65 and just north of the Galleria Boulevard overcrossing. The billboard would be located in a commercially-zoned and developed area of the City.

Project simulation: Northbound and southbound Hwy-65
Attachment 9 shows a map of existing and proposed digital billboards along Interstate 80 and Highway 65 in Roseville and Rocklin. Each proposed sign will mimic the appearance of the Golfland Sun Splash billboard and include “City of Roseville” on the pole as shown in Figure C below. During initial negotiations, staff secured Preliminary Determination approvals for both sites from Caltrans. This Preliminary Determination approval process must be completed prior to submitting for Caltrans permits and determines the viability of a site.

GROUND LEASES & SUBLEASES:

I-80 and Douglas Boulevard:

The sign will be placed on property owned by “Candice L. Stephenson and J. Wayne Strauch, Co-Trustees of the Administrative Trust Created Under That Survivor’s Trust Under “Trust Agreement and Declaration of Trust” Dated March 15, 1984, as to an undivided one- half (1/2) interest and Candice L. Stephenson and J. Wayne Strauch, Co-Trustees of the Administrative Trust Created Under That “Marital Trust” Under “Trust Agreement and Declaration of Trust” Dated March 15, 1984, as to an undivided one-half (1/2) interest” and will be leased to the City for $60,000.00 per year with 2% annual escalations starting year eleven totaling $1,270,123.00 over 20 years. The City will subsequently sublease the property to CCO for purposes of erecting and operating a digital billboard. The full Ground Lease and Sublease are attached (Attachments 1 and 3). Major deal points include the following:

Term of the Agreement – Initial term of 20 years with the right by CCO to extend for an additional five years for a total term of 25 years. If not extended by CCO, the Sublease will automatically expire after the 20 year term concludes.

Financial Terms –
Conditional Signing Bonus: CCO shall pay the City a one-time “conditional signing bonus” of $25,000.00 within five business days following the execution of the Sublease Agreement (“Effective Date”). The conditional signing bonus would be refunded should CCO not be able to obtain necessary permits from Caltrans.

Additional Signing Bonus: CCO shall pay the City one-time “Additional Singing Bonus” of $225,000.00 within five business days after the date the Operation Phase begins.

Annual Rent: Commencing with the Operations Phase, CCO shall pay to the City “Base Rent” equal to the greater of 1) $380,000 with 2% annual escalations thereafter or, 2) 45% of the gross revenue attributed to the billboard. Rent shall be paid to the City in twelve (12) equal installments. If 45% of annual gross revenue is greater than the annual Base Rent, CCO shall pay the City the difference annually.

Additional Consideration: CCO shall commit space to the City within one (1) eight (8) second advertising spot in a standard rotation of eight (8) slots, to be divided equally between the two display faces on the Digital Billboard at all times for the advertisement of City messages.

State Route 65/290 Conference Center Drive:

The sign will be placed on property owned by Roseville Junction LLC and will be leased to the City for $60,000.00 per year with 2% annual escalations starting year eleven totaling $1,270,123.00 over 20 years. The City will subsequently sublease the property to CCO for purposes of erecting and operating a digital billboard. The full Lease and Sublease are attached (Attachments 2 and 4). Major deal points include the following:

Additional Signing Bonus: CCO shall pay the City one-time “Additional Singing Bonus” of $175,000.00 within five business days after the date the Operation Phase begins.

Annual Rent: Commencing with the Operations Phase, CCO shall pay to the City “Base Rent” equal to the greater of 1) $300,000 with 2% annual escalations thereafter or, 2) 45% of the gross revenue attributed to the billboard. Rent shall be paid to the City in twelve (12) equal installments. If 45% of annual gross revenue is greater than the annual Base Rent, CCO shall pay the City the difference annually.

Additionally, both Subleases include the following terms:

Exclusive Right – City agrees to grant CCO an exclusive right to display outdoor advertising on the premises and agrees not to authorize any other off-site outdoor advertising on Cityowned or City-controlled property within 1,500 feet of the proposed digital billboards.

No Cost to City – CCO shall be responsible for all costs associated with: preparation of plans, securing permits and approvals, sign installation (including extension of utilities), sign operation, and sign maintenance.

Termination Rights – The Sublease outlines termination rights of both the City and CCO.

For example, the City may terminate the agreement should CCO breach its obligation to pay rent. Conversely, CCO may terminate if the view of the message display from Interstate 80 or State Route 65 is materially obstructed and CCO did not cause the obstruction. Other termination provisions apply, see Section 7: Early Termination Rights, of each Sublease (Attachment 3 and 4) for a complete description.

Indemnification – CCO shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City from and against all liabilities that arise directly or indirectly from CCO’s possession or use of the premises(s) and/or sign (including any verbal or non-verbal display on the sign).

Message Content:

Pursuant to the terms of the Subleases, messaging and content displayed on the signs will be managed by CCO. However, the Subleases specify that CCO may not display any message that, in the reasonable judgment of the City Manager or City Manager’s designee, meets any of the following criteria:

Is false, misleading, or deceptive;
Promotes, directly or indirectly, establishments engaged in sexually oriented business activities;
Contains “obscene matter as defined by the California Penal Code Section 311 on the Effective Date;
Holds a person or group of persons up to public ridicule, derision, or embarrassment, or defames a person or group of persons;
Contains language that is obscene, vulgar, profane, or that presents a clear and present danger of causing a riot, disorder, or other imminent threat to public safety, peace or order; or,
Contains advertisements associated with local/state petition driven ballot initiatives or referendums.

A complete list of restricted marketing material can be found in Attachments 3 & 4, Section K.

In addition, the agreements exclude any advertising that promotes “auto malls” or auto dealerships outside of Roseville’s jurisdictional boundary. However, advertising for a specific automobile brand or manufacturer is permitted (i.e. national “brand drives”).

Lastly, the signs will be made available to Caltrans for the purpose of displaying “Amber Alert” messages. The signs will also be made available to Caltrans, the City, and to other government agencies without cost, on a time-available basis (determined by COO), for the purpose of displaying public-service messages, reports of serious accidents, and emergency/disaster communications.

Operating Parameters:

The Subleases specify operating parameters for the billboards including:

No special visual effects that include moving or flashing lights; Messages may not change more than once every eight seconds and have a maximum change interval of two seconds;
In the event of a malfunction, the sign shall be programmed to turn off, show a “full black” image, or freeze the image on the display in one position; and, The billboard shall have a light sensing device that will adjust sign brightness as ambient conditions change. The sign shall not operate at a brightness of more than 0.3 footcandles above ambient light, measured at preset distanced specified in the agreement.

Proposed Digital Billboards - Design and Height:

As proposed, the signs will be approximately 40 to 55 feet tall measured from grade to top of the sign cabinet and dependent upon the locations specific topography and orientation which will be vetted upon approval. The signs would be elevated approximately 45 feet relative to the centerline of I-80 and Hwy-65. The signs would consist of two 672 square foot faces mounted in a “V” configuration oriented toward the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-80 and northbound and southbound lanes of Hwy-65. The design proposes minimal frame treatment to each face in an effort to reduce visual bulk and create a more streamlined appearance. For comprehensive appearance, the signs would be nearly identical to the digital billboard at Golfland Sunsplash with the sign’s supporting structure perpendicular to the ground and horizontally centered. Staff prefers this design, as it provides a cleaner appearance and draws less attention to the sign structure itself. On the support structure would be a smaller illuminated sign identifying the City of Roseville.

The smaller “City of Roseville” sign would be designed to comply with applicable City branding requirements.

Figure C: Elevation:

Conclusion:

As evidenced by the City’s digital billboard at Golfland Sunsplash, CCO has been a committed and responsive partner to the City and community. Approval of the proposed agreements presents a unique opportunity to secure a stable and long-term General Fund revenue source while providing additional opportunities to advertise City sponsored and other non-profit events. As such, staff recommends City Council approve the proposed agreements with COO.

FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the minimum annual guarantee, signing bonus and lease costs, approval of the Ground Leases, and Subleases would guarantee a minimum $14.4 million in General Fund revenue over the 20-year term. Based on a potential revenue share of 45%, it is estimated that the City could receive up to $18.8 million in General Fund revenue over the 20-year term. Additional indirect benefits include dedicated advertising time on each sign for marketing and promotion of City events and programs. With approval of the project CCO will be responsible for all costs related to the construction, operation and maintenance of the digital billboards.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (Attachment 5): In accordance with CEQA, an Initial Study was prepared for the proposed project (Exhibit A). The Initial Study conclusion is that all potential impacts can be mitigated to a less-than-significant level. As such, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed to satisfy CEQA requirements.

Environmental Impact Summary: Impacts are primarily short-term construction related. Mitigation measures were identified for the following environmental issue area:
• Tribal Cultural Resources
All potential impacts can be mitigated to less than significance with application of the recommended measures. The IS conclusion is that with implementation of all mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND, all potential impacts would be reduced to less than significant and an MND is proposed to satisfy CEQA requirements.

Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15097, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared to assist with the tracking and implementation of required mitigation measures (Exhibit B).

The IS/MND was made available for a 30 day public review and comment period from November 19th through December 19, 2021. The environmental document availability was announced: 1) via a letter mailing to surrounding properties; and 2) via a legal notice published in the November 19, 2021 edition of the Sacramento Bee. These notices advised of the IS/MND availability and public comment period. Hard copies of the environmental document were made available at the Permit Center front counter and electronic copies were available via the City’s web site, and the California Office of Planning and Research State Clearinghouse (SCH No. 2021110283).

The City received two comment letters regarding the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment 7). A mitigation measure has been added to the document to address the comments accordingly, and there are no outstanding issues (See MMRP, Attachment 6).

The Initial Study conclusion is that with implementation of all mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND and MMRP, all potential impacts would be reduced to less than significant and an MND is proposed to satisfy CEQA requirements. As such staff recommends adoption of the IS/MND and approval of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to satisfy the project’s CEQA requirements.

The Conference Center Drive billboard location was evaluated in the City’s Hotel Conference Center EIR (Attachment 8), certified by City Council on August 6, 2014 (SCH No. 2013112058) (Attachment 8). No additional CEQA review is required.

Introduction and Summary

1.1 Introduction
This document is an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) that addresses the potential environmental impacts of the Roseville Digital Billboard Project (proposed project) proposed by the City of Roseville (City).

The proposed project would involve the installation of a two-sided electronic billboard at the eastern portion of the project site. The project site is located southwest of the intersection of Interstate 80 (I-80) and Douglas Boulevard, beyond the terminus of South Harding Boulevard, in the City of Roseville, CA. The project site, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 014-183- 029, is vacant and covered in dirt and ruderal grasses. The site has been subject to previous disturbance.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 15004 of the State CEQA Guidelines encourage early completion of environmental documentation to enable environmental considerations to influence project design. This IS/MND is a public information document that discloses the proposed project’s environmental effects and informs decision makers of the project’s compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.

This document describes the proposed project’s background, project components, the existing environmental setting (conditions before implementation of the project), and the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. Chapter 2, Project Description, describes the proposed project and the best management practice (BMP) measures that the City has incorporated into the proposed project to avoid and minimize potential effects.

Chapter 3, Environmental Checklist, identifies the anticipated environmental impacts by topic and provides mitigation measures that would be implemented to avoid significant impacts, if warranted.

1.2 CEQA Lead Agency
As the lead agency for the proposed project under CEQA, the City of Roseville determined that preparation of an IS/MND was necessary to evaluate the environmental issues associated with the proposed project and satisfy the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The IS/MND is available for public review at the following location:

1.3 Summary
This IS/MND concludes that the proposed project would have potentially significant but mitigable impacts on cultural resources and tribal cultural resources, as described in Chapter 3, Environmental Checklist. This IS/MND identifies a variety of mitigation measures that the City would implement to avoid or minimize potentially significant impacts on sensitive environmental resources. Implementation of these measures, in addition to project BMPs, would further reduce the potential impacts to a less-than-significant level.

City of Roseville Project Description

Roseville Digital Billboard Project 2-1 November 2021
Chapter 2
Project Description

2.1 Project Background
The City of Roseville proposes to allow the construction of the Roseville Digital Billboard Project (proposed project) in the Infill Planning Area of the City of Roseville, California (Figure 2-1). The proposed project would involve the construction of a two-sided electronic billboard on a vacant parcel southwest of the intersection of Douglas Boulevard and I-80. Prior to 2011, billboard projects, such as the proposed project, were not allowable in the City of Roseville.

However, in 2011, the City adopted the Initial Study/Negative Declaration (2011 Sign Ordinance IS/ND) for the Sign Ordinance Amendment (Ordinance 4986), adding Section

17.17.035, Signs Permissible within City-Owned Property, to the Roseville Municipal Code (RMC), regarding signs on City-owned property. Consequently, the City considers the construction and maintenance of electronic billboards on City-owned property along I-80 and State Route 65 to be an allowable use. Per the Outdoor Advertising Act, enforced and administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), such electronic billboards shall only be allowed on commercial and industrially zoned property.

2.2 Project Location and Existing Conditions
The project site is located southwest of the intersection of I-80 and Douglas Boulevard, beyond the terminus of South Harding Boulevard, in the City of Roseville, CA. The project site (Figure 2-2), identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 014-183-029, is vacant and covered in dirt and ruderal grasses. The site has been subject to previous disturbance. The northern portion of the parcel has been used seasonally as a Christmas tree lot and the entire parcel has been used as a construction staging area by Caltrans. Surrounding land uses include single-family residences to the west and southwest, a commercial area to the north, and I-80 and an associated on-ramp to the east and southeast. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Community Commercial (CC) and is zoned Planned Development (PD192).

2.3 Proposed Project Components
The proposed project consists of the following main components:
 Construction of the proposed two-sided electronic billboard on the southeast portion of the project site; and
 Operation of the proposed billboard.

The specifications of the proposed billboard are described in greater detail below.

2.3.1 Construction of the Proposed Billboard
The proposed project is installation of a two-sided electronic sign at the eastern portion of the project site. Ground disturbing activities associated with construction of the proposed project would be limited to auger drilling on the southeast portion of the parcel and worker vehicle circulation. Vehicle access to the site is provided by South Harding Boulevard to the north and Wayne Drive to the west. Construction activities would take place between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM Saturday and Sunday, in compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance. Construction would occur over approximately two weeks.

2.3.2 Operations of the Proposed Billboard
The proposed project would include operations and maintenance of a two-sided electronic billboard, approximately 35 feet to 50 feet tall, with sign faces approximately 14 feet by 48 feet. The directional light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used on both faces of the proposed sign would have diodes focusing light into a directed beam, with the beams aimed toward the roadway such that vehicular traffic can easily view the advertising message (see Figure 2-3).

The display messages would be visible both from the northbound and southbound lanes of I80 (Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5). The display faces would be configured in a “V” angle to optimize views from I-80, and would be oriented to face away from the nearest single-family residences.

Figure 2-3
Side View of Billboard Viewing Angles
In addition, horizontal louvers manufactured as part of the sign face would help to prevent upward illumination and nighttime light pollution. Thus, the illuminance of the area around the sign would not be uniform, and greater illuminance would occur from lower viewing angles.

View of Proposed Sign from I-80 Travelling South
City of Roseville Project Description
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 2-7 November 2021
The proposed sign’s illuminance area would be a maximum of 250 feet from the sign during the day and 100 feet at night, when measured perpendicularly from the center of the sign face and assuming the sign is at ground level. However, because the bottom of the sign face would be between approximately 21 feet to 36 feet in the air, the aforementioned distances would be shorter because the illuminance of the sign would be affected both by the horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The proposed sign would be required to comply with the Outdoor Advertising Act regarding flashing signs, which are defined as lights or messages that change more than once every four seconds.

2.4 Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Water quality measures (stormwater management measures and BMPs) would be implemented as part of the project to minimize potential water quality impacts. Key management measures consist of the following:
 Protect areas that provide important water quality benefits or are particularly susceptible to erosion or sediment loss.
 Minimize the potential for erosion by limiting land disturbances such as clearing, grading, and cut and fill.
 Limit disturbance of natural drainage features and vegetation.  Ensure proper storage and disposal of toxic material.  Incorporate pollution prevention into operation and maintenance procedures to reduce pollutant loadings to surface runoff.

2.4.1 Construction BMPs
The City and its contractor shall implement construction BMPs to avoid and minimize impacts on sensitive environmental resources. Implementation of the BMPs discussed below would minimize the potential for construction-related surface water pollution and ensure that water quality in off-site waterways and wetlands would not be compromised by erosion and sedimentation during construction.

Temporary Fencing. Where appropriate, the City’s contractor shall install construction barrier fencing (including sediment fencing and straw wattles) to prevent contaminants and debris from entering off-site surface waters. Before construction begins, the City or its contractor shall identify the locations for the barrier fencing and mark those locations with stakes or flagging.

Equipment. The City shall comply with applicable stormwater ordinances, stormwater management plans, and BMPs to prevent or minimize the potential release of equipmentrelated petroleum contaminants into adjacent surface waters and groundwater.

Implementation of standard construction procedures and precautions for working with petroleum and construction chemicals would further ensure that the impacts related to chemical handling during project construction would be minor.

Hazardous Materials. The City shall implement appropriate hazardous material management practices and other good housekeeping measures to reduce the potential for chemical spills City of Roseville Project Description
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 2-8 November 2021
or releases of contaminants, including any non-stormwater discharge to adjacent surface waters. Implementation of these measures would minimize the potential for surface and groundwater contamination.

Erosion Control. The project design shall incorporate permanent erosion control elements to ensure that stormwater runoff does not cause soil erosion. Erosion and sediment control plans shall comply with the City’s Grading Ordinance, which requires reducing erosion and retaining sediment onsite.

Toxic Materials Control and Spill Response Plan. The following measures shall be incorporated into the plan and implemented to avoid or minimize the risk of spills or discharges of toxic materials into adjacent surface waters:
 Prepare a hazardous material spill prevention, control, and countermeasure plan (SPCC) before construction and implement during construction;
 Prevent raw cement, concrete or concrete washings, asphalt, paint or other coating material, oil or other petroleum products, or any other substances that could be hazardous to aquatic life from contaminating the soil or entering off-site surface waters;  Prevent discharge of drilling mud and fluids into off-site surface waters by using appropriate containment, disposal, and storage methods;  Prevent discharge of turbid water or sediment-laden runoff to off-site surface waters by using sediment filters, diverting the water to a settling tank, and/or implementing other erosion and water quality control BMPs;
 Clean up all spills immediately according to the SPCC;  Provide areas located outside of sensitive environmental areas for staging and storing equipment, materials, fuels, lubricants, solvents, and other possible contaminants; and  Prevent hazardous materials from entering waters. The construction contractor shall notify the City Fire Department if evidence of soil or groundwater contamination is encountered during construction activities. Construction in that area shall be halted until the Fire Department has evaluated the find and remediation is completed, if necessary.

Would the project:

c. In non-urbanized areas, substantially

vantage point). If the project is in an
urbanized area, would the project conflict
with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
d. Create a new source of substantial light or
glare that would adversely affect daytime or
nighttime views in the area?

3.2.1.1 Discussion
a,b. Examples of typical scenic vistas include mountain ranges, ridgelines, or bodies of water as viewed from a highway, public space, or other area designated for the express purpose of viewing and sightseeing. Per the City’s General Plan EIR, the City’s Panning Area does not contain any scenic vistas or any designated or eligible State scenic highways. Thus, the proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista or substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway, and no impact would occur.
c. The project is located in an urbanized area of the City of Roseville; therefore, in accordance with CEQA question ‘c’, the relevant threshold is whether the project would conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality, rather than whether the project would substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings.

With that said, the visual landscape of the surrounding area is characterized by urban development, with single-family residences to the west and southwest, a commercial area to the north, and I-80 to the east and south. The two proposed display faces would be oriented at a V-angle, facing away from the existing residences. The proposed sign would City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-5 November 2021
be generally consistent with the existing visual character of public views along the I-80 corridor, including road signs, signs for businesses in the commercial area north of the project site, and other sources of light, including streetlights along I-80.

Per Section 17.17.010(c) of the City’s Sign Ordinance, the regulations and prohibitions in the Sign Ordinance are intended to prevent the visual clutter, blight, and traffic hazards caused by signs. The proposed project’s required compliance with such would ensure that substantial adverse impacts related to aesthetics do not occur. In addition, the proposed project would be required to comply with the Outdoor Advertising Act of the California Business and Professions Code, including, but not limited to, the restrictions on size, height, intermittent flashing lights, proximity to interstate and primary highways and landscaped freeways, and other applicable regulations. For example, signs that are visible from any highway are prohibited from simulating or imitating any directional, warning, danger, or information signs, or from displaying any red, blinking, flashing, moving, or intermittent light likely to be mistaken for a warning or danger signal. Consistent with the regulations, the proposed sign would not include such imagery. Per the Outdoor Advertising Act, the illumination of a sign is considered vision-impairing to travelers on adjacent highways if the brilliance of the proposed sign were to exceed the values set forth in Section 21466.5 of the Vehicle Code. The proposed sign would not exceed an illuminance of 0.3 foot-candles above ambient levels and, thus, would comply with the regulation. Furthermore, advertising displays may not exceed 1,200 square feet in area with a maximum height of 25 feet and a maximum length of 60 feet, including border and trim, and excluding base or apron supports and other structural members. The proposed sign would comply with the size limitations. According to the Outdoor Advertising Act, displays must be located within 660 feet from the edge of the public right-of-way. The proposed sign would be located approximately 60 feet from I-80 and, thus, would comply with the regulation. Thus, the proposed project would be consistent with applicable zoning and other regulations governing electronic billboards in the City of Roseville, including the Sign Ordinance and Outdoor Advertising Act.

Based on the above, implementation of the proposed project would not conflict with the project site’s current land use and zoning designations and other regulations governing scenic quality. As such, the proposed project would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site or the surroundings, and a less-than-significant impact would occur.
d. The existing nighttime lighting environment in the project area is defined by light from I-80 and nearby roads, including sources such as street lights, headlights from vehicles, lighted street signs, and traffic signals. The proposed electronic media sign would introduce new sources of light in the project vicinity. The electronic media sign would consist of two display faces oriented at a V-angle, facing away from the existing residences to the southeast of the site. While the proposed sign would be located approximately 100 feet east of the property lines of the nearby single-family residences, the LEDs used on both sign faces would prevent excessive light and glare from reaching the residences by reducing the viewing angle. In addition, the brightness of the sign would be limited to 0.3 foot-candles above ambient levels, which would be ensured by a light-sensing device on the display that would adjust the brightness as ambient light conditions change. The City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-6 November 2021
photometrics from the manufacturer can be set to consistently meet the brightness targets at day and night.

The proposed sign’s illuminance area would be a maximum of 250 feet from the sign during the day and 100 feet at night, when measured perpendicularly from the center of the sign face and assuming the sign is at ground level. However, because the bottom of the sign face would be between approximately 21 feet to 36 feet in the air, the aforementioned distances would be shorter because the illuminance of the sign would be affected both by the horizontal and vertical viewing angles.

Based on the above, the proposed media sign would be oriented away from existing residences in the project area and the lighting would not exceed 0.3 foot-candles. In addition, the sign would comply with all applicable lighting standards established in the City’s Municipal Code, which would ensure that the proposed sign would comply with the Outdoor Advertising Act and Section 21466.5 of the Vehicle Code. Therefore, the proposed project would result in less-than-significant impacts related to creating a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.

3.2.1.2 Mitigation Measures
The proposed project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to aesthetic resources. Therefore, mitigation measures are not necessary.

3.2.2.1 Discussion
a-e. The project site currently consists of undeveloped, but disturbed, ruderal grassland.

According to the California Department of Conservation’s Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site is designated as “Urban and Built-Up Land” and does not contain any Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance.

Thus, the project site would not be converted from Farmland to non-agricultural uses as a result of the proposed project. The project site is currently designated CC per the City’s General Plan and zoned PD192. Consequently, the project site is not zoned for agricultural uses, and the site is not under a Williamson Act Contract. Forest land and timberland do not occur within the City of Roseville. Thus, the project site is not considered forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220[g]) and is not zoned for Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104[g]). Overall, the proposed project would result in no impact to agricultural and forestry resources.

When available, the significance criteria
established by the applicable air quality

Would the project:

b. Cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is a
nonattainment area for an applicable federal or
state ambient air quality standard?
c. Exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial

d. Other emissions (such as those leading to odors)
adversely affecting a substantial number of
people?

3.2.3.1 Discussion
a,b. The project site is located within the Sacramento Valley Air Basin (SVAB) and is under the jurisdiction of the Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD). The SVAB is designated nonattainment for the federal particulate matter 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) and the State particulate matter 10 microns in diameter (PM10) standards, as well as for both the federal and State ozone standards. The federal Clean Air Act requires areas designated as federal nonattainment to prepare an air quality control plan referred to as the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP contains the strategies and control measures for states to use to attain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).

The SIP is periodically modified to reflect the latest emissions inventories, planning documents, rules, and regulations of air basins as reported by the agencies with jurisdiction over them. In compliance with regulations, the PCAPCD periodically prepares and updates air quality plans that provide emission reduction strategies to achieve attainment of the NAAQS, including control strategies to reduce air pollutant emissions via regulations, incentive programs, public education, and partnerships with other agencies.

The current applicable air quality plan for the project area is the Sacramento Regional 2009 NAAQS 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan (Ozone Attainment Plan), updated July 24, 2017. The Ozone Attainment Plan demonstrates how existing and new control strategies would provide the necessary future emission reductions to meet the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, including the federal AAQS.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-10 November 2021
The Ozone Attainment Plan demonstrates how existing and new control strategies would provide the necessary future emission reductions to meet the FCAA requirements, including the NAAQS. It should be noted that in addition to strengthening the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the USEPA also strengthened the secondary 8-hour ozone NAAQS, making the secondary standard identical to the primary standard. The SVAB remains classified as a severe nonattainment area for ozone with an attainment deadline of 2027. On October 26, 2015, the USEPA released a final implementation rule for the revised NAAQS for ozone to address the requirements for reasonable further progress, modeling and attainment demonstrations, and reasonably available control measures (RACM) and reasonably available control technology (RACT). On April 30, 2018, the USEPA published designations for areas in attainment/unclassifiable for the 2015 ozone standards. The USEPA identified the portions of Placer County within the SVAB as nonattainment for the 2015 ozone standards. Due to the designation of the SVAB as nonattainment for the 2015 standards, the PCAPCD will work with other regional air districts to prepare a new ozone SIP for the revised 2015 standards.

General conformity requirements of the regional air quality plan include whether a project would cause or contribute to new violations of any AAQS, increase the frequency or severity of an existing violation of any AAQS, or delay timely attainment of any AAQS. In order to evaluate ozone and other criteria air pollutant emissions and support attainment goals for those pollutants that the area is designated nonattainment, the PCAPCD has adopted recommended thresholds of significance for emissions of PM10 and the ozone precursors reactive organic gases (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX). On October 13, 2016, the PCAPCD adopted updated significance thresholds for the aforementioned pollutants.

The significance thresholds, expressed in pounds per day (lbs/day), listed in Table 3.2.3- 1 are the PCAPCD’s current thresholds of significance for use in the evaluation of air quality impacts associated with proposed development projects. Thus, if the proposed project’s emissions exceed the pollutant thresholds presented in Table 3.2.3-1, the project could have a significant effect on air quality, the attainment of federal and State AAQS, and could conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan.

Table 3.2.3-1. PCAPCD Thresholds of Significance

Construction activity associated with the proposed project would be limited to relatively minor ground disturbance to construct the proposed sign foundation, minor utility improvements, and installation of the sign column and display screens. Given that such activities would result in relatively insignificant emissions of criteria pollutants, the proposed project is anticipated to be below the PCAPCD thresholds for construction emissions. In addition, the proposed project would not result in any operational emissions.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-11 November 2021
Past, present, and future development projects contribute to the region’s adverse air quality impacts on a cumulative basis. By nature, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact. A single project is not sufficient in size to, by itself, result in nonattainment of AAQS. Because the proposed project would not result in emissions above the applicable thresholds of significance for ROG, NOX, or PM10, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State AAQS.

Because the proposed project would not result in construction-related or operational emissions of criteria air pollutants in excess of PCAPCD’s thresholds of significance, conflicts with or obstruction of the implementation of the applicable regional air quality plans would not occur. In addition, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State AAQS. Thus, a less-than-significant impact would result.
c. Some land uses are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others, due to the types of population groups or activities involved. Heightened sensitivity may be caused by health problems, proximity to the emissions source, and/or duration of exposure to air pollutants. Children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with existing health problems are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution. Sensitive receptors are typically defined as facilities where sensitive receptor population groups (i.e., children, the elderly, the acutely ill, and the chronically ill) are likely to be located. Accordingly, land uses that are typically considered to be sensitive receptors include residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, retirement homes, convalescent homes, hospitals, and medical clinics. The nearest existing sensitive receptor would be the single-family residence located southwest of the project site, approximately 100 feet away.

The major pollutant concentrations of concern are localized carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions.

Localized Carbon Monoxide Emissions
As discussed in Section 3.2.17, Transportation, of this IS/MND, the proposed project is not anticipated to increase traffic to local roadways except during the construction period.

Increases in vehicle traffic resulting from the proposed project would be minor and would only occur during the installation of the proposed sign. As such, based on the PCAPCD screening criteria, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to localized CO emissions concentrations and would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of localized CO.

TAC Emissions
Another category of environmental concern is TACs. The CARB’s Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective (Handbook) provides recommended setback distances for sensitive land uses from major sources of TACs, including, but not limited to, freeways and high traffic roads, distribution centers, and rail yards. The CARB has identified diesel particulate matter (DPM) from diesel-fueled engines as a TAC; thus, high volume freeways, stationary diesel engines, and facilities attracting heavy and City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-12 November 2021
constant diesel vehicle traffic are identified as having the highest associated health risks from DPM. Health risks associated with TACs are a function of both the concentration of emissions and the duration of exposure, where the higher the concentration and/or the longer the period of time that a sensitive receptor is exposed to pollutant concentrations would correlate to a higher health risk.

The proposed project does not include any operations that would be considered a substantial source of TACs. Accordingly, operations of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to excess concentrations of TACs.

Short-term, construction-related activities could result in the generation of TACs, specifically DPM, from on-road haul trucks and off-road equipment exhaust emissions.

Construction is temporary and occurs over a relatively short duration in comparison to the operational lifetime of the proposed project. Health risks are typically associated with exposure to high concentrations of TACs over extended periods of time (e.g., 30 years or greater), whereas the construction period associated with the proposed project would likely be limited to one year. All construction equipment and operation thereof would be regulated per the In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation, which is intended to help reduce emissions associated with off-road diesel vehicles and equipment, including DPM.

Project construction would also be required to comply with all applicable PCAPCD rules and regulations, particularly associated with permitting of air pollutant sources.

Due to the temporary nature of construction, which would occur over the course of approximately two weeks, and the relatively short duration of potential exposure to associated emissions, the potential for any one sensitive receptor in the area to be exposed to concentrations of pollutants for a substantially extended period of time would be low. Therefore, construction of the proposed project would not be expected to expose nearby sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

Conclusion
Based on the above, the proposed project would not expose any sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of pollutants, including localized CO or TACs, during construction or operation. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less-thansignificant impact related to the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.
d. Emissions of pollutants have the potential to adversely affect sensitive receptors within the project area. Pollutants of principal concern include emissions leading to odors, emissions of dust, or emissions considered to constitute air pollutants. Air pollutants have been discussed in sections “a” through “c” above. Therefore, the following discussion focuses on emissions of odors and dust during construction and operation of the project.

Odors
Odors are generally regarded as an annoyance rather than a health hazard. Due to the subjective nature of odor impacts, the number of variables that can influence the potential for an odor impact, and the variety of odor sources, quantitative methodologies to determine the presence of a significant odor impact do not exist. Certain land uses such City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-13 November 2021
as wastewater treatment facilities, landfills, confined animal facilities, composting operations, food manufacturing plants, refineries, and chemical plants have the potential to generate considerable odors.

Diesel fumes from construction equipment and heavy-duty trucks could be found to be objectionable; however, as addressed above, operation of construction equipment would be regulated by PCAPCD rules and regulations, restricted to certain hours per the RMC, and would occur intermittently throughout the course of a day. All construction equipment and operation thereof would be regulated per the statewide In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation. In addition, construction is temporary and construction equipment would operate intermittently throughout the course of a day and would likely only occur over portions of the improvement area at a time. For the aforementioned reasons and due to the distance between the project site and the nearest sensitive receptors, the project would not result in any noticeable objectionable odors associated with construction.

Although offensive odors rarely cause any physical harm, they can be unpleasant, leading to citizen complaints to local governments and air districts. Diesel-powered equipment operating during construction may generate odors that are evident in the immediately surrounding area. These activities would be intermittent and temporary in duration and, therefore, would not result in nuisance odors. Digital billboards are not known to emit odors during operation, and the project does not meet any of the facility types identified by CARB or PCAPCD as odor-generating; thus, the project would not generate substantial operational odors. Accordingly, the proposed project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.

Dust
As noted previously, construction of projects within Placer County are required to comply with all applicable PCAPCD rules and regulations. The aforementioned rules would act to reduce construction-related dust by implementing dust control measures. PCAPCD Rule 228 requires implementation of dust control measures, such as minimizing track-out on to paved public roadways, limiting vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces to 15 miles per hour, and stabilization of storage piles and disturbed areas. Following construction, operation of the proposed sign would not involve vehicles operating within the project site. Thus, the proposed project operations would not include sources of dust that could adversely affect a substantial number of people.

Conclusion
For the aforementioned reasons, construction and operation of the proposed project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people, and impacts would be less than significant.

3.2.3.2 Mitigation Measures
Due to the short duration of construction, and minimal ground disturbance, the proposed project would not result in any potentially significant impacts on air quality. Therefore, mitigation measures are not necessary.

3.2.4.1 Discussion
a-f. The proposed electronic billboard would be installed within the southeastern portion of the project site, which consists of dirt and ruderal grasses and has been subject to previous disturbance. The project site does not contain riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities, including wetlands. In addition, the project site does not support any wildlife movement corridors. The project site and the surrounding areas do not contain streams or other waterways that could be used by migratory fish or as a wildlife corridor for other City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-16 November 2021
wildlife species. No aspect of the project would conflict with the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan, or would otherwise impact habitat areas subject to regulatory oversight.

The project site would not be subject to substantial ground disturbing activity associated with the proposed project. Ground disturbance would be limited to auger drilling for the foundation of proposed sign’s support column and the minor unavoidable disturbance associated with equipment staging. Major grading or material movement would not be required. Furthermore, previous disturbance has occurred on the project site associated with the site’s use as a Christmas tree lot and as a staging area for Caltrans. Due to the disturbed nature of the project site, construction activities associated with the installation of the proposed sign would not result in adverse effects to special status plant and wildlife.

Implementation of the proposed project would not involve the removal of any trees.

A search of the Department of Fish and Wildlife California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) revealed that special-status species that exist in the general project region would be unlikely to occur on the project site, and that the proposed project would therefore be highly unlikely to impact any special-status species. Because the project site is not vegetated, heavily disturbed, and does not contain riparian habitat, impacts to special-status plants would not occur or special-status species requiring riparian habitat would not occur. The proposed project would not involve the removal of any trees; thus, special-status birds that nest in trees would not be impacted, such as Swainson’s hawk, purple martin, golden eagle, pallid bat, and white-tailed kite would not occur. While the disturbed dirt field that constitutes the project site could provide habitat for subterranean burrowing species, such as the burrowing owl and American badger, the level of disturbance at the project site from previous use as a Christmas tree lot and equipment staging area for Caltrans create a low likelihood that the project site would provide sufficient habitat.

Given the highly disturbed nature of the project site and the surrounding area, as well as the relatively limited ground disturbance associated with installation of the proposed electronic sign, the project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to biological resources.

3.2.4.2 Mitigation Measures
The proposed project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to biological resources; therefore, mitigation measures would not be required.

3.2.5.1 Discussion
a-c. Historical resources are features that are associated with the lives of historically important persons and/or historically significant events, that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction, or that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to the pre-history or history of the local area, California, or the nation. Examples of typical historical resources include, but are not limited to, buildings, farmsteads, rail lines, bridges, and trash scatters containing objects such as colored glass and ceramics.

The proposed project would involve the installation of a two-sided electronic billboard that would be visible from I-80. Ground disturbing activities associated with implementation of the proposed project would be limited to auger drilling and construction of the proposed sign column foundation on the southeast portion of the parcel, and worker vehicle circulation. Given that the project site is already highly disturbed, the discovery of previously-unknown historical resources during the limited ground disturbance associated with the proposed project is not anticipated.

A records search for the project site and the surrounding 0.25-mile radius was conducted by staff at the North Central Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System on September 30, 2021. The records search indicated that four previous cultural resources studies have been conducted within the search area. The records search also identified one previously-recorded historic-period cultural resource within the 0.25-mile radius, consisting of a segment of the California Central Railroad (P31-816).

Furthermore, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) was contacted on September 30, 2021, to request a search of its Sacred Lands File and a list of interested Native American tribes and individuals. The results of the NAHC’s Sacred Lands File search did not indicate the presence of any known cultural resources on the project site.

Assembly Bill (AB 52) tribal consultation efforts under CEQA were carried out by the City City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-18 November 2021
of Roseville and additional information is provided in Section 3.2.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, of this Environmental Checklist.

Due to previous disturbance of the site and the limited extent of ground disturbance associated with the proposed project, the likelihood of discovering previously unknown historical or archaeological resources and/or human remains is low. However, the possibility exists that ground-disturbing activities during construction may uncover previously unknown subsurface cultural resources; such disturbance would be a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 would reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level.

Based on the above, with implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2, the proposed project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical or archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5, and would not result in the disturbance of human remains; thus, the impact would be considered less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

3.2.5.2 Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Implement Measures to Protect Previously Unidentified Cultural Resources
The City shall ensure that construction specifications include the following information in the grading notes:
 Construction shall stop if potential cultural resources are encountered. It is possible that previous activities have obscured surface evidence of cultural resources. If signs of an archeological site, such as any unusual amounts of stone, bone, or shell, are uncovered during grading or other construction activities, work shall be halted within 100 feet of the find and the City of Roseville will be notified. A qualified archeologist shall be consulted for an onsite evaluation. If the site appears to be eligible for listing in State or federal registers, additional mitigation, such as further testing for evaluation or data recovery, may be necessary.
 In the event resources are discovered, the City shall retain a qualified archaeologist to assess the find and to determine whether the resource requires further study. Any previously undiscovered resources found during construction shall be recorded on appropriate California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 forms and evaluated for significance under all applicable regulatory criteria.  All work shall stop in the immediate vicinity of the find, and, if the find is determined to be an important cultural resource, the City shall make available contingency funding and a time allotment sufficient to allow recovery of an archaeological sample or to implement an avoidance measure. Construction work may continue on other parts of the project while archaeological mitigation takes place.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-19 November 2021
Mitigation Measure CUL-2: Implement Measures if Construction Activities Inadvertently Discover or Disturb Human Remains
The City shall ensure that construction specifications include the following in the grading notes:
 If human remains are discovered during any phase of construction, including disarticulated or cremated remains, the construction contractor shall immediately cease all ground-disturbing activities within 100 feet of the remains and notify the City of Roseville.
 In accordance with California State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, no further disturbance shall occur until the following steps have been completed:
 The County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.
 If the remains are determined by the County Coroner to be Native American, NAHC will be notified within 24 hours, and the treatment and disposition of the remains will comply with NAHC guidelines.
 It is further recommended that a professional archaeologist with Native American burial experience conduct a field investigation of the specific site and consult with the Most Likely Descendant (MLD), if any, identified by NAHC. As necessary and appropriate, a professional archaeologist may provide technical assistance to the MLD, including excavation and removal of the human remains.

Would the project:

3.2.6.1 Discussion
a,b. The main forms of available energy supply are electricity, natural gas, and oil. A description of the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code and the Building Energy Efficiency Standards, with which the proposed project would be required to comply, as well as discussions regarding the proposed project’s potential effects related to energy demand during construction and operations are provided below.

The 2019 California Building Standards Code (CBSC), otherwise known as the CAL Green Code (California Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 24, Part 11), became effective on January 1, 2020. The purpose of the CAL Green Code is to improve public health, safety, and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts having a reduced negative impact or positive environmental impact and encouraging sustainable construction practices. The CBSC standards regulate the method of use, properties, performance, types of materials used in construction, alteration repair, improvement and rehabilitation of a structure or improvement to property.

Construction
Construction of the proposed project would involve on-site energy demand and consumption related to the use of oil in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel for construction worker vehicle trips, and hauling and material delivery truck trips. In addition, diesel-fueled portable generators may be necessary to provide additional electricity demands for temporary on-site lighting, welding, and for supplying energy to areas of the site where energy supply cannot be met via a hookup to the existing electricity grid. Project construction would not involve the use of natural gas appliances or equipment.

Compliance with local, State, and federal regulations, which limit engine idling times and require recycling construction debris, would reduce short-term energy demand during the project’s construction to the extent feasible and project construction would not result in a wasteful or inefficient use of energy.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-21 November 2021
The CARB has prepared the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update (2017 Scoping Plan), which builds upon previous efforts to reduce GHG emissions and is designed to continue to shift the California economy away from dependence on fossil fuels. Appendix B of the 2017 Scoping Plan includes examples of local actions (municipal code changes, zoning changes, policy directions, and mitigation measures) that would support the State’s climate goals. The examples provided include, but are not limited to, enforcing idling time restrictions for construction vehicles, utilizing existing grid power for electric energy rather than operating temporary gasoline/diesel-powered generators, and increasing use of electric and renewable fuel-powered construction equipment.

Based on the above, the temporary increase in energy use occurring during construction of the proposed project would not result in a significant increase in peak or base demands or require additional capacity from local or regional energy supplies.

Operational
State and local authorities regulate energy use and consumption through various means and programs. Regulations at the State level are intended to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed project would comply with these regulations that include, among others, AB 1493–Light-duty Vehicle Standards, CCR Title 24, Part 6–Energy Efficiency Standards, and CCR Title 24.

Following implementation of the proposed project, Roseville Electric Utility would provide electricity to the project site. Energy use associated with operation of the proposed project would be typical of electronic signs, requiring electricity lighting, and maintenance of the electronic sign. The proposed media sign would use high-efficiency LEDs for illumination during operation.

Electricity supplied to the project by Roseville Electric Utility would comply with the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which requires investor-owned utilities, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 60 percent by 2030. Thus, a portion of the energy consumed during project operations would originate from renewable sources.

Conclusion
Based on the above, construction and operation of the proposed project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources or conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. Thus, a lessthan-significant impact would occur.

3.2.6.2 Mitigation Measures
The proposed project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to energy; therefore, mitigation measures would not be required.

3.2.7.1 Discussion
a-d. Per the City of Roseville 2035 General Plan Update EIR, the City is located in an area with relatively low seismic activity, and fault traces are not located either within or immediately adjacent to the City’s Planning Area. The project site is not located within a State- City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-24 November 2021
designated Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone. The nearest active faults are the Cordelia Fault and Green Valley Fault, located approximately 60 miles southwest of the project site, and the Hunting Creek Fault, located approximately 60 miles west of the project site. Thus, the potential for fault rupture risk at the project site is low.

An earthquake of moderate to high magnitude generated by the above faults could cause considerable ground shaking at the project site. However, the proposed project would be properly engineered in accordance with the CBSC, which includes engineering standards appropriate for the seismic area in which the project site is located. Proper engineering of the proposed project would ensure that the project would not be subject to substantial risks related to seismic ground shaking.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service’s Web Soil Survey, soils at the project site have been identified as Cometa-Fiddyment complex. The on-site soils have a low shrink-swell potential of 0.12, and were not determined to have low strength. Thus, the aforementioned soil features do not represent a significant limitation related to the excavation required to construct the foundation for the proposed sign’s support column. Nonetheless, prior to development of the proposed project, a project-specific geotechnical report would be prepared in order to ensure that all geological hazards are adequately addressed. Thus, the aforementioned soil features do not represent a significant limitation on the shallow excavation required to construct the foundation for the proposed sign’s support column.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which granular material is transformed from a solid state to a liquefied state as a consequence of increased pore-water pressure and reduced effective stress. Per the Web Soil Survey, Cometa-Fiddyment complex is considered a well-draining soil, and, thus, liquefaction is not anticipated to occur on the project site.

Seismically-induced landslides are triggered by earthquake ground shaking. Lateral spreading and subsidence are also geological hazards of concern; however, the project site is not located near an active fault zone or soils subject to such hazards, and, thus, implementation of the proposed project on the project site would not induce risks associated with liquefaction, landslide, lateral spreading, or subsidence.

In addition, the proposed project would not include any habitable structures. The proposed sign would be between 35 feet and 50 feet tall and would be located greater than 100 feet from the nearest residential fence line; thus, even in the extremely unlikely event that the sign were to fail, the risk of injury or death to humans would not occur.

Based on the above, the proposed project would not be subject to substantial risks related to liquefaction, landslides, lateral spreading, and subsidence/settlement. Compliance with standard construction regulations included in the CBSC would ensure that the proposed project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving liquefaction, subsidence, or settlement, and would not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Thus, a less-than-significant impact would occur. e. The construction or operation of septic tanks or other alternative wastewater disposal systems is not included as part of the project. Therefore, no impact regarding the City of Roseville Environmental Checklist

capability of soil to adequately support the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems would occur.
f. As previously discussed, the project site has already been subject to previous disturbance related to the project site’s use as a Christmas tree lot and a staging area for Caltrans.

Additionally, the project would not result in substantial ground disturbing activities.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 and CUL-2 would ensure that significant impacts do not occur. Therefore, the project would not result in directly or indirectly destroying paleontological resources and a less-than-significant impact would occur.

3.2.8.1 Discussion
a,b. Emissions of GHGs contributing to global climate change are attributable in large part to human activities associated with the industrial/manufacturing, utility, transportation, residential, and agricultural sectors. Therefore, the cumulative global emissions of GHGs contributing to global climate change can be attributed to every nation, region, and city, and virtually every individual on Earth. An individual project’s GHG emissions are at a micro-scale level relative to global emissions and effects to global climate change; however, an individual project could result in a cumulatively considerable incremental contribution to a significant cumulative macro-scale impact. As such, impacts related to emissions of GHG are inherently considered cumulative impacts.

Implementation of the proposed project would cumulatively contribute to increases of GHG emissions. Estimated GHG emissions attributable to future development would be primarily associated with increases of carbon dioxide (CO2) and, to a lesser extent, other GHG pollutants, such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) associated with area sources, mobile sources or vehicles, and utilities (electricity and natural gas). The primary source of GHG emissions for the project would be mobile source emissions during construction. The common unit of measurement for GHG is expressed in terms of annual metric tons of CO2 equivalents (MTCO2e/yr).

As discussed in Section 3.2.3, Air Quality, the PCAPCD has the primary responsibility for air quality management in Placer County. PCAPCD has adopted a de minimis threshold of 1,100 MTCO2e/yr for operation of land use development projects, such as new residential and commercial projects. The PCAPCD also has a bright line threshold of 10,000 MTCO2e, where land use development projects in excess of the de minimis threshold (1,100 MTCO2e) can be found less than cumulatively considerable if the emission intensity (emissions per capita) meets certain criteria.

It should be noted that construction GHG emissions are a one-time release and are, therefore, not typically expected to generate a significant contribution to global climate change. Construction activities associated with implementation of the proposed project would only include construction of the foundation, assembly of the electronic sign, and City of Roseville Environmental Checklist

minor vegetation removal. As a result, because the use of heavy equipment would be limited and the overall construction period would be short in comparison to other development projects in the City, the emissions of construction-related GHG would be less than significant.

During operations, the only GHG emissions associated with the proposed project would be emissions associated with electricity generation necessary to power the proposed electronic displays. The electricity generated by Roseville Electric Utility would comply with the State Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) and, thus, would be carbon neutral by the year 2045. In addition, the proposed billboard would not result in a change to regional vehicle miles travelled (VMT). Consequently, operation and maintenance of the proposed project would not result in significant emissions of GHGs.

Based on the above, the proposed project would not be considered to generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, or conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. Thus, a less-than-significant impact would occur.

Construction activities associated with the proposed project would involve the use of heavy equipment, which would contain fuels and oils, and various other products such as concrete, paints, and adhesives. Small quantities of potentially toxic substances (e.g., petroleum and other chemicals used to operate and maintain construction equipment) would be used at the project site and transported to and from the site during construction.

However, the project contractor would be required to comply with all California Health and Safety Codes and local City ordinances regulating the handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous and toxic materials. Thus, construction of the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the environment.

Based on the above, development of the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the environment, and a less-than-significant impact would occur. c. The closest school to the project site is Warren T. Eich Middle School, located approximately 0.5-mile southeast of the project site. Thus, the project site is not located within a quarter mile of any existing or proposed schools. Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact related to hazardous emissions or the handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school.
d. According to the Department of Toxic Substances Control Envirostor Database, the project site is not located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Thus, the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment related to being located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and no impact would occur. e. The nearest airport to the project site is the Sacramento McClellan Airport, located approximately 8.5 miles southwest of the project site. Thus, the proposed project site is not located within two miles of any public airports, and does not fall within an airport land use plan area. Therefore, no impact would occur related to the project being located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, thereby resulting in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area.
f. The proposed project would exclusively involve the installation of an electronic billboard and, thus, would not alter the existing circulation system in the surrounding area. As a result, the project would result in no impact with respect to impairing the implementation of or physically interfering with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
g. Issues related to wildfire hazards are discussed in Section 3.2.20, Wildfire, of this IS/MND.

As noted therein, the project site is not located within or near a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). In addition, the project site is located within a developed area of the City and, thus, is not particularly susceptible to wildland fire.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-30 November 2021
Project construction would involve the use of heavy equipment, welding, and other activities that have the potential to ignite fires. Malfunction of equipment that could cause a fire is extremely unlikely during project construction. However, the contractor would comply with Cal-OSHA standards for the storage and handling of fuels, flammable materials, and common construction-related hazardous materials and for fire prevention.

In addition, the project would meet the minimum standards set forth by Public Resources Code Section 4290, Title 14, for fire protection and emergency water standards.

Compliance with the aforementioned regulations would ensure that the potential for wildland fires is reduced to the maximum extent feasible.

Based on the above, the potential for wildland fires to reach the project site would be limited. Based on the above, the proposed project would not expose people or structures to the risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, and no impact would occur.

3.2.10.1 Discussion
a. As noted previously, the project would not include substantial ground disturbing activities.

Ground disturbance associated with the proposed project would be limited to auger drilling and construction of the sign column foundation. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) regulates stormwater discharges associated with construction activities where clearing, grading, or excavation results in a land disturbance of one or more acres. Given City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-32 November 2021
that the proposed project would disturb less than one acre of land, the proposed construction activities would not be subject to applicable SWRCB regulations. The ground disturbance associated with the proposed project would be minimal and would occur over a short period of time, and the contractor would be required to comply with the City BMPs listed in Section 2.4 of this document. Thus, the proposed project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality.

Based on the above, the proposed project would not substantially degrade surface water quality or conflict with any applicable water quality control or management plans. Thus, a less-than-significant impact would occur.
b,e. The City of Roseville’s groundwater is derived from the North American Subbasin, which is part of the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin. New impervious surfaces created by the project would be limited to a relatively small foundation necessary to support the proposed sign column, and the project would not include any water use. Thus, the project would not interfere substantially with groundwater recharge within the North American Subbasin.

Based on the above, the proposed project would not substantially degrade groundwater quality or substantially interfere with groundwater recharge, and a less-than-significant impact would occur.
ci-iii. The proposed project is not anticipated to create a substantial amount of new impervious surfaces on the project site. The proposed impervious surfaces would be limited to a concrete foundation supporting the proposed sign column. Furthermore, only a small portion of the soil would be exposed during construction of the project and, thus, the project would not result in substantial erosion or siltation.

Consequently, the proposed project would not substantially increase stormwater runoff relative to existing conditions. Due to the minimal amount of impervious surfaces created by the project, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to soil erosion, surface runoff, and stormwater drainage. civ. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map for the project site, the project site is located within an Area of Minimal Flood Hazard (Zone X). The site is not classified as a Special Flood Hazard Area or otherwise located within a 100-year or 500-year floodplain. Therefore, development of the proposed project would not impede or redirect flood flows and no impact would result. d. As discussed under question ‘civ’ above, the project site is not located within a flood hazard zone. Tsunamis are defined as sea waves created by undersea fault movement, whereas a seiche is a long-wavelength, large-scale wave action set up in a closed body of water such as a lake or reservoir. The project site is not located in proximity to a coastline and would not be potentially affected by flooding risks associated with tsunamis.

Seiches do not pose a risk to the proposed project, as the project site is not located adjacent to a large closed body of water. Based on the above, the proposed project would not pose a risk related to the release of pollutants due to project inundation due to flooding, tsunami, or seiche, and no impact would occur.

3.2.11.1 Discussion
a. A project risks dividing an established community if the project would introduce infrastructure or alter land use so as to change the land use conditions in the surrounding community or isolate an existing land use. Existing land uses in the project vicinity include a commercial area to the north, single-family residences to the west, and I-80 to the east and south. The project would not isolate an existing land use. In addition, as noted under question ‘b’ below, the project would be allowable under with the site’s current land use and zoning designations. As such, the proposed project would not physically divide an established community and a less-than-significant impact would occur. b. The project site is currently designated CC per the City of Roseville’s General Plan, and is the site zoned PD192. Title 17.17.035 of the RMC specifies that electronic, digital, programmable, and/or illuminated billboards may be installed within City-owned property and visible from I-80 and/or State Route 65. The proposed project would consist of a twosided electronic billboard visible from I-80; thus, the proposed project would be consistent with Title 17.17.035 of the RMC. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the type and intensity of uses anticipated for the site in the General Plan and generally analyzed in the General Plan EIR. Furthermore, as demonstrated throughout this IS/MND, the proposed project would not conflict with City policies and regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

Based on the above, the project would not cause a significant environmental impact due to conflicts with a land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Therefore, a less-than-significant impact would occur.

3.2.11.2 Mitigation Measures
The proposed project would not result in any potentially significant impacts related to land use and planning. Therefore, mitigation measures would not be required.

3.2.12.1 Discussion
a,b. Mineral extraction operations do not exist on or adjacent to the project site. Mineral resources are not evaluated in the City of Roseville 2035 General Plan Update EIR because the City does not designate any territory within the City for Resource extraction and the City does not overlie any known deposits of economically valuable mineral sources. Additionally, the City does not have a Surface Mining and Reclamation Act permit. Because the project site does not contain mineral resources and the construction of the proposed project would not result in the loss of any known mineral resources, no impact to mineral resources would occur.

excessive noise levels?

3.2.13.1 Discussion
a. The following sections present information regarding sensitive noise receptors in proximity to the project site, the existing noise environment, and the potential for the proposed project to result in impacts during project construction and operation. The following term is referenced in the sections below:
• Decibel (dB): A unit of sound energy intensity. An A-weighted decibel (dBA) is a decibel corrected for the variation in frequency response to the typical human ear at commonly encountered noise levels. All references to decibels (dB) in this section will be A-weighted unless noted otherwise.

Sensitive Noise Receptors
Some land uses are considered more sensitive to noise than others, and, thus, are referred to as sensitive noise receptors. Land uses often associated with sensitive noise receptors generally include residences, schools, libraries, hospitals, and passive recreational areas. Noise sensitive land uses are typically given special attention in order to achieve protection from excessive noise. In the vicinity of the project site, the nearest existing noise sensitive land use is the single-family residence located approximately 100 feet west of the location within the project site where the proposed billboard would be installed.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-38 November 2021
Existing Noise Environment
The ambient noise environment in the project vicinity is primarily characterized by vehicle traffic on major roadways within the vicinity of the project site, including I-80 and Douglas Boulevard, and, to a lesser extent, by vehicle traffic on smaller local roadways, including Wayne Drive, Marion Avenue, Melrose Avenue, and South Harding Boulevard.

Standards of Significance
Policy N1.9 from the Roseville General Plan Noise Element states that constructionrelated noise that would be consistent with the Roseville Noise Ordinance (RMC, Chapter

9.24, Noise Regulation) would be exempt from the noise standards outlined in the Noise Element Noises resulting from construction activities are prohibited by the RMC, Chapter

9.24, Noise Regulation, during nighttime hours (7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, Monday through Friday, and 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM, Saturday, Sunday and, Holidays). The RMC also specifies that all construction equipment shall be fitted with factory installed muffling devices and that all construction equipment shall be maintained in good working order in order to prevent excessive noise.

Impact Analysis
During construction of the proposed project, heavy equipment would be used for auger drilling and assembly of the proposed sign’s support column, which would result in temporary noise level increases during the construction period. Noise levels would vary depending on the type of equipment used, how the equipment is operated, and how well the equipment is maintained. Table 3.2.13-1 shows maximum noise levels associated with typical construction equipment.

Table 3.2.13-1. Construction Equipment Noise
Type of Equipment Maximum Level, dB at 50 feet
Backhoe 78
Compressor (air) 78
Excavator 81
Generator 81
Pneumatic Tools 85
Source: Federal Highway Administration, Roadway Construction Noise Model User’s Guide, January 2006.

As demonstrated in the table, activities involved in typical construction would generate maximum noise levels up to 85 dB at a distance of 50 feet. Given that the existing singlefamily residences to the west and southwest of the site are located approximately 100 feet from the proposed sign foundation, noise levels would be reduced. At a distance of 100 feet, the maximum noise level at the nearest residence would be approximately 79 dB.

Temporary construction noises are exempt from the City’s noise standards. Nonetheless, pursuant to RMC Chapter 9.24, Noise Regulation, construction would only occur during allowable hours, and all construction equipment would be fitted with muffling devices and maintained in good working order. Compliance with such restrictions would ensure that construction noise associated with the proposed project would be less than significant.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-39 November 2021
Per the 2011 Sign Ordinance IS/ND, electronic billboards are not known to emit noise or sound; thus, operation of the proposed project would not result in increased noise levels.

Conclusion
Based on the above, project construction noise would not conflict with the City’s General Plan if restricted to the hourly limits established by the City’s Noise Ordinance. In addition, the proposed project would not generate any noise level increases during operation.

Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a temporary exceedance of the standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies, and a less-than-significant impact would occur. b. Similar to noise, vibration involves a source, a transmission path, and a receiver. However, noise is generally considered to be pressure waves transmitted through air, whereas vibration usually consists of the excitation of a structure or surface. As with noise, vibration consists of an amplitude and frequency. A person’s perception of the vibration depends on their individual sensitivity to vibration, as well as the amplitude and frequency of the source and the response of the system which is vibrating.

Vibration is measured in terms of acceleration velocity, or displacement. A common practice is to monitor vibration in terms of peak particle velocities (PPV) in inches per second (in/sec). Standards pertaining to perception as well as damage to structures have been developed for vibration levels defined in terms of PPV. Human and structural response to different vibration levels is influenced by a number of factors, including ground type, distance between source and receptor, duration, and the number of perceived vibration events.

Table 3.2.13-2, which was developed by Caltrans, shows the vibration levels that would normally be required to result in damage to structures. As presented in the table, the threshold for architectural damage to structures is 0.20 in/sec PPV and continuous vibrations of 0.10 in/sec PPV, or greater, would likely cause annoyance to sensitive receptors.

The only vibration-generating activities associated with the proposed project would occur during construction activities. Table 3.2.13-3 shows the typical vibration levels produced by construction equipment at various distances. The most substantial source of groundborne vibrations associated with project construction would likely be the use of auger/drill rigs. At a distance of 25 feet or greater, vibration levels from such equipment would be below the 0.20 in/sec threshold recommended by Caltrans.

The proposed construction activities would occur at a distance of over 100 feet from the existing single-family residences to the west and southwest of the site. Therefore, per the vibration levels shown in Table 3.2.13-3, groundborne vibrations would be below the 0.20 in/sec PPV threshold established by Caltrans for architectural damage to buildings.

Additionally, construction activities would be temporary in nature and are anticipated to occur during normal daytime working hours.

The proposed project would only cause elevated vibration levels during construction, as the proposed project would not involve any uses or operations that would generate substantial groundborne vibration.

Based on the above, the proposed project would not expose people to or generate excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels, and a less-thansignificant impact would occur. c. The nearest airport to the project site is the Sacramento McClellan Airport, located approximately 8.5 miles southwest of the project site. Thus, the project site is not located within two miles of any public airports, and does not fall within an airport land use plan area. Therefore, no impact would occur related to the project being located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, thereby resulting in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area.

3.2.15.1 Discussion
a. The Roseville Fire Department operates nine fire stations that provide fire protection, suppression, emergency medical services, and hazardous material management within the City of Roseville, including the project site. The closest station is located approximately

0.7 miles northwest of the project site (Fire Station No. 1). The Roseville Police Department, headquartered approximately 1.75 miles northwest of the project site at 1051 Junction Boulevard, provides police protection services throughout the City. Because the proposed project would not add any additional residents to the area, an increase in demand for fire and police services would not occur.

The project site is located within the Roseville City School District. Because the proposed project would not result in population growth in the area, implementation of the project would not generate additional demand for school facilities.

The nearest existing park to the project site is Garbolino Park, located approximately 900 feet west of the project site. Because the proposed project would not result in population growth in the area, additional demand for parks would not occur.

Based on the above, the proposed project would result in no impact relating to the provision of public services, including fire and police protection, schools, parks, and other public facilities.

3.2.17.1 Discussion
a-d. During construction, the proposed project would generate a minor amount of traffic on local roadways associated with construction worker commutes and the transport of materials for the proposed sign. However, such construction traffic would be limited, and would be temporary in nature. The proposed project would not include construction of new roadways or extension of existing roadways. In addition, the proposed project would not include development which would alter or increase demand for transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities. While the proposed project would temporarily result in an increase in VMT during the construction period, operation and maintenance of the proposed project would not affect local or regional VMT. Thus, impacts relating to VMT would be less than significant, and the project would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities or with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b). Furthermore, because the project would not alter the existing circulation network, the project would not substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses or result in inadequate emergency access.

Based on the above, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact related to transportation.

lead agency shall consider the significance of
the resource to a California Native American
tribe.

3.2.18.1 Discussion
a,b. The project site has already been subject to previous disturbance associated with the Christmas tree business located on the northern portion of the project site. Additionally, the project would not involve substantial ground disturbing activities. Based on the history of disturbance at the project site, tribal cultural resources are not expected to occur within the project site.

A search of the NAHC’s Sacred Lands File was conducted, and did not indicate the presence of any known cultural resources on the project site. In compliance with AB 52 (Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1), the City distributed project notification letters to the appropriate Tribes on October 5, 2021. The United Auburn Indian Community indicated that the project site is located between two areas that are considered sensitive, and the potential exists for buried tribal cultural sites or items to be present on-site. The City of Roseville began formal consultation with the United Auburn Indian Community on October 8, 2021. Consultation was concluded on October 22, 2021, with mutual agreement based on the identified mitigation measures.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-49 November 2021
Based on the above, although not anticipated, the potential exists that previously unknown subsurface tribal cultural resources could be present on the project site. Should buried or otherwise unknown tribal cultural resources be encountered and/or damaged during construction, a potentially significant impact would occur. However, implementation of Mitigation Measures TCR-1 and TCR-2 would reduce the potential impact to less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

3.2.18.2 Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure TCR-1: Implement Measures to Protect Unanticipated Discoveries.

If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin, or tribal cultural resources, are discovered during construction, all work shall halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery, and the Construction Manager shall immediately notify the City of Roseville Development Services Director by phone. The Construction Manager shall also immediately coordinate with the monitoring archeologist or project archaeologist and tribal monitor (if present), or, in the absence of either, contact consulting tribe(s) and a qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology and subject to approval by the City, to evaluate the significance of the find and develop appropriate management recommendations, in coordination with the consulting tribe(s) if the find is a tribal cultural resource.

All management recommendations shall be provided to the City in writing for the City’s review and approval. If recommended by the qualified professional archeologist, and consulting tribe(s), and approved by the City, this may include modification of the no-work radius.

The professional archaeologist must make a determination, based on professional judgement and supported by substantial evidence, within one business day of being notified, as to whether or not the find represents a cultural or tribal cultural resource or has the potential to be a cultural or tribal cultural resource. The consulting tribe shall also be provided the opportunity to determine, within one business day of being notified, whether or not the find represents a tribal cultural resource or has the potential to be a tribal cultural resource. The subsequent actions will be determined by the type of discovery, as described below. These include: 1) a work pause that, upon further investigation, is not actually a discovery and the work pause was simply needed in order to allow for closer examination of soil (a “false alarm”); 2) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are clearly not related to tribal resources, such as can and bottle dumps, artifacts of European origin, and remnants of built environment features; and 3) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are likely related to tribal resources, such as midden soil, bedrock mortars, groundstone, or other similar expressions.

Whenever there is question as to whether or not the discovery represents a tribal resource, culturally affiliated tribes shall be consulted in making the determination. Whenever a tribal monitor is present, the monitor shall be consulted.

City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-50 November 2021
The following processes shall apply, depending on the nature of the find, subject to the review and approval of the City:
• Response to False Alarms: If the professional archaeologist determines that the find is negative for any cultural indicators and tribal representatives have not indicated the find is a tribal cultural resource, then work may resume immediately upon notice to proceed from the City’s representative. No further notifications or archaeological consultation is necessary if it is determined that the discovery is not a cultural or tribal cultural resource of any kind. The professional archaeologist shall provide written documentation of this finding to the City, which shall include as an attachment any written documentation provided by tribal representatives or monitors. • Response to Non-Tribal Discoveries: If a tribal monitor is not present at the time of discovery and a professional archaeologist determines that the find represents a nontribal cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, the City shall be notified immediately, to consult on a finding of eligibility and implementation of appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. The professional archaeologist shall provide a photograph of the find and a written description to the City of Roseville. The City of Roseville will notify any [tribe(s)] who, in writing, requested notice of unanticipated discovery of non-tribal resources. Notice shall include the photograph and description of the find, and a tribal representative shall have the opportunity to determine whether or not the find represents a tribal cultural resource. If a response is not received within 24 hours of notification (none of which time period may fall on weekends or City holidays), the City will deem this portion of the measure completed in good faith as long as the notification was made and documented. If requested by a [tribe(s)], the City may extend this timeframe, which shall be documented in writing (electronic communication may be used to satisfy this measure). If a notified tribe responds within 24 hours to indicate that the find represents a tribal cultural resource, then the Response to Tribal Discoveries portion of this measure applies. If the tribe does not respond or concurs that the discovery is non-tribal, work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction. • Response to Tribal Discoveries: If the find represents a tribal or potentially tribal cultural resource that does not include human remains, the consulting tribe(s) and City shall be notified. The City will consult with the tribe(s) on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be either a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, or a Tribal Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code. Preservation in place is the preferred treatment, if feasible. Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) not a Tribal City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-51 November 2021
Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code; or 3) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction. • Response to Human Remains: If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, the construction supervisor or on-site archaeologist and (if present) tribal monitor shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641) and shall notify the City and Placer County Coroner (per § 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, § 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code, and Assembly Bill 2641 shall be implemented. If the Coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the project (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains.

Public Resources Code § 5097.94 provides structure for mediation through the NAHC if necessary. If the landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the Public Resources Code).

If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains in a respectful manner where they will not be further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment document with the county in which the property is located (AB 2641). Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction.

3.2.19.1 Discussion
a-e. Electricity for the proposed project would be provided by a new connection to an existing transformer. Water, wastewater, storm drainage infrastructure would not be impacted by the proposed project, as the project would not require connections to such utility features.

While construction of the proposed project could generate a small amount of solid waste, the waste could be accommodated by the existing landfill facilities serving the City.

Operation of the proposed project would not require solid waste or landfill services.

Overall, the proposed project would not require the relocation or construction of new or expanded utilities.

Given that the proposed project is consistent with the site’s current General Plan land use and zoning designations, the utility infrastructure within the project vicinity has been designed with adequate capacity to accommodate the minor increase in electricity City of Roseville Environmental Checklist

3.2.20.1 Discussion
a-d. According to the CAL FIRE Fire and Resource Assessment Program, the project site is not located within or near a State Responsibility Area or lands classified as a VHFHSZ.

The nearest VHFHSZ is approximately 10 miles east of the project site. The project site is located in a Local Responsibility Area where the Roseville Fire Department is responsible for fire protection services. Because the proposed project consists only of the installation of an electronic billboard and does not involve adding new residents or changing circulation patterns, the proposed project would not impair implementation of an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. Additionally, the topography of the project site is relatively flat, and the site is located in an urbanized area of the City; thus, the project site is not susceptible to downstream flooding or landslide. Therefore, the proposed project would not be subject to substantial risks related to wildfires, and a lessthan-significant impact would occur.

3.2.21.1 Discussion
a. As discussed in Section 3.2.4, Biological Resources, of this IS/MND, the project site has already been subject to substantial disturbance and construction of the proposed project would not further degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce or impact the habitat of substantially reduce or impact the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause fish or wildlife populations to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. Due to previous disturbance and development of the site, the site does not contain any known historic or prehistoric resources. However, the possibility remains that previously-unknown cultural resources or tribal cultural resources could be encountered during ground disturbing activities. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1, CUL-2, and TCR-1 would ensure that the proposed project would not eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Therefore, potential impacts would be less-than-significant with mitigation incorporated. b. The proposed project, in conjunction with other development within the City of Roseville, could incrementally contribute to cumulative impacts in the area. However, as City of Roseville Environmental Checklist
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
Roseville Digital Billboard Project 3-57 November 2021
demonstrated in this IS/MND, all potential environmental impacts that could occur as a result of implementation of the proposed project would result in no impact or a less-thansignificant impact through applicable General Plan policies and RMC Standards, as well as other local and state policies. In addition, the proposed project would be consistent with the project site’s current land use and zoning designations. Therefore, development of the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to cumulative impacts to cumulative impacts in the City of Roseville, and the proposed project’s incremental contribution to cumulative impacts would be less than significant. c. As described in this IS/MND, the proposed project would comply with all applicable General Plan policies, RMC standards, and other applicable local and State regulations.

In addition, as discussed in Section 3.2.3, Air Quality, Section 3.2.7, Geology and Soils, Section 3.2.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Section 3.2.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Section 3.2.13, Noise, and Section 3.2.17, Transportation, of this IS/MND, the proposed project would not cause substantial effects to human beings, including effects related to exposure to air pollutants, hazardous materials, noise, and traffic. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Introduction
Public Resources Code section 21081.6 and section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines require public agencies to adopt a monitoring or reporting program for projects approved under CEQA that require implementation of mitigation measures as part of project approval.

The following is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Roseville Digital Billboard Project (proposed project). The intent of the MMRP is to aid the City of Roseville with implementation and monitoring of mitigation measures adopted as part of the Roseville Digital Billboard Project Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND).

The following mitigation measures are from the Roseville Digital Billboard Project Final IS/MND and are the responsibility of the City to implement. The MMRP describes the actions that must take place to implement each mitigation measure, the timing of those actions, and the entities responsible for implementing and monitoring the actions.

MMRP Components
The components of the attached table, which contains applicable mitigation measures, are addressed briefly, below.

Impact: This column summarizes the impact identified in the Final IS/MND.

Mitigation Measure: All mitigation measures identified in the Roseville Digital Billboard Project Draft IS/MND are presented.

Action(s): For every mitigation measure, one or more actions are described. The actions delineate the means by which the mitigation measures will be implemented, and, in some instances, the criteria for determining whether a measure has been successfully implemented.

Where mitigation measures are particularly detailed, the action may refer back to the measure for specifics.

Implementing Party: This item identifies the entity that will undertake the required action.

Timing: Implementation of the action must occur prior to or during some part of project approval, project design or construction or on an ongoing basis. The timing for each measure is identified.

City of Roseville CEQA Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Roseville Digital Billboard
Project 2 December 2021
Monitoring Party: The City of Roseville Development Services Department, in coordination with the Public Works Department, is primarily responsible for ensuring that mitigation measures are successfully implemented. Within the City of Roseville, a number of departments and divisions could have responsibility for monitoring some aspect of the overall project. Other agencies may also be responsible for monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures. As a result, more than one monitoring party may be identified.

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Implement Measures to Protect Previously Unidentified Cultural Resources The City shall ensure that construction specifications include the following information in the grading notes.  Construction shall stop if potential cultural resources are encountered. It is possible that previous activities have obscured surface evidence of cultural resources. If signs of an archeological site, such as any unusual amounts of stone, bone, or shell, are uncovered during grading or other construction activities, work will be halted within 100 feet of the find and the City of Roseville will be notified. A qualified archeologist will be consulted for an onsite evaluation. If the site appears to be eligible for listing in state or federal registers, additional mitigation, such as further testing for evaluation or data recovery, may be necessary.  In the event resources are discovered, the City will retain a qualified archaeologist to assess the find and to determine whether the resource requires further study. Any previously undiscovered resources found during construction will be recorded on appropriate California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 forms and evaluated for significance under all applicable regulatory criteria.  All work will stop in the immediate vicinity of the find, and, if the find is determined to be an important cultural resource, the City will make available contingency funding and a time allotment sufficient to allow recovery of an archaeological sample or to implement an avoidance measure. Construction work may continue on other parts of the project while archaeological mitigation takes place.

In addition, within thirty (30) days following the one (1) year period after the Rent Commencement Date and each anniversary thereof during the Term, CCO shall pay to City the amount, if any, by which forty-five percent (45%) of the annual net advertising revenue (defined as gross advertising revenue less any agency commission) indefeasibly received and recognized by CCO for the Digital Billboard in respect of such oneyear period exceeds the Annual Base Rent paid to the City during such year (“Percentage Rent”).

Such Percentage Rent payment shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed statement of how such Percentage Rent was calculated. On the first anniversary of the Operational Date and each anniversary thereafter, during the Initial Term or any Extended Term, the Annual Base Rentshall be increased by two percent (2%) of the prior year’s Annual Base Rent.

CCO shall make such records available for review by City within fifteen (15) Business Days following City's written request. CCO shall retain the related records for at least three (3) years.
(4) CCO may offset Annual Base Rent as follows:
(A) If there is a material diversion of traffic from, or a material reduction or change in the directional flow of traffic on, the portion of State Route 65 adjacent to the Premises that results in CCO being required to compensate its third-party advertisers for a loss of advertising, and if the diversion, disruption, or change continues uninterrupted for at least five (5) days, then CCO may offset Annual Rent by the amount if any, equivalent to the value that CCO provides to its third-party advertisers because of the diversion or reduction. In no event shall the offset exceed one-half (1/2) of the Annual Base Rent.

CCO must provide the City with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the City, that CCO actually provided such equivalent value equal to the amount offset. 5 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX (B) If there is a force-majeure event (see Subsection 12(e)) that continues uninterrupted for at least five (5) days, then CCO may reduce the Annual Base Rent by the percentage, if any, that CCO’s revenues from the Digital Billboard have decreased as a result. (d) Additional Consideration. CCO shall commit space to the City within one (1) eight (8) second advertising spot in a standard rotation of eight (8) slots, to be divided equally between the two display faces on the Digital Billboard at all times for the advertisement of City Messages.

City shall be responsible for providing CCO with its City Messages and for any costs associated with providing CCO associated artwork in acceptable format and will be subject to CCO's standard advertising copy rejection and removal policies which allow CCO the right in its sole discretion to approve or disapprove copy and remove copy once posted or displayed. (2) The City shall not charge for, or exchange goods or services for, any sign space granted on the Digital Billboard.
(3) The City must submit "camera ready art" utilizing formats and protocols acceptable to CCO from time to time or pay production costs. All copy shall be submitted to CCO at least ten (10) Business Days in advance.
(4) If at any time in the future CCO removes the Digital Display(s) from the sign structure or CCO is unable to operate the Digital Display(s), for any reason, the advertising spot commitments in this section shall be automatically terminated and rendered null and void, and CCO shall be under no obligation whatsoever to provide the City with any type of free advertising space. However, at any time CCO operates the Digital Display(s) with electronic/digital technology, the advertising spot commitment shall remain in place. (5) It is expressly understood and agreed that City Messages may not include any names, logos or marks associated with any third party non-governmental person or entity or any products or any services associated with any third party non-governmental person or entity.

7. Early Termination.
(a) City’s Termination Rights. Without prejudice to its other remedies at law or in equity, the City may terminate this Sublease, at any time and in its sole discretion, effective thirty (30) days after the City gives CCO written notice of termination, if any of the following circumstances occurs:

The express designation in this Sublease of a provision as “material” does not imply that other provisions are not material. (3) The Digital Billboard is not Operational within two (2) years after the Commencement Date.
(b) CCO’s Termination Rights. Without prejudice to its other remedies at law or in equity, including the right to seek just compensation under the laws of eminent domain as described in Section 9, CCO may terminate this Sublease, at any time and in its sole discretion, effective thirty (30) days after CCO gives the City written notice of termination, if any of the following circumstances occurs:

This Section 7(b)(1) does not apply to Obstructions covered by Section 5(d). 14 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX (2) CCO cannot safely use the Premises to install, operate, maintain, repair, or improve the Digital Billboard because of a non-remediable condition, and CCO did not cause the condition.

(7) Upon termination or nonperformance of the Lease.
(c) CCO’s Right to Renegotiation. If any of the circumstances identified in Section 7(b) occurs (or if CCO can no longer operate the Digital Billboard with digital display faces but can operate the Sign Structure with printed or traditional faces and CCO has elected not to terminate this Sublease), then, at its discretion and in lieu of termination, CCO may request that the City negotiate on reducing the Annual Rent to an amount that reasonably reflects the diminished value of the Digital Billboard to CCO, and on receiving the request the City shall negotiate in good faith with CCO. The City is not required, however, to agree on a reduction. (d) City’s and CCO’s Additional Termination Rights.

(e) CCO’s Right to Succeed to the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Digital Billboard faces are removed for any reason and replaced by vinyl or traditional faces, CCO may elect to terminate this Sublease, and CCO shall in such event succeed to the City’s interest under the Lease and the City shall execute any and all documentation necessary to effect such succession and CCO shall have no further obligations to the City hereunder. In addition, if this 15 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX Sublease is terminated for any reason, provided CCO is not in default hereunder, CCO shall have the right to succeed to City’s interest under the Lease.

CCO is obligated under this Section 10(b) even if the City or the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, contractors, or agents reviewed, accepted, or approved the work, materials, or activities from which the Liabilities arise. But CCO is not obligated under this Section 10(b) to the extent the Liabilities are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, contractors, or agents.

(1) A policy of comprehensive general-liability insurance providing coverage at least as broad as that provided by ISO Form CG 00 01. This policy must:
(A) be issued on an occurrence basis;
(B) include coverage for premises, operations, products and completed operations, advertising injury, and contractual liability;
(C) have a limit of at least $5,000,000 for each occurrence and five million in the aggregate;
(D) include a fire legal-liability limit of $50,000 for each occurrence; and (E) name the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents, and the Landlord as additional insureds with regard to general liability arising out of activities performed by CCO or on CCO’s behalf, including coverage for productsand-completed operations to include coverage for operations on property CCO owns, subleases, or uses (including the Premises and the Digital Billboard). (2) A policy of automobile-liability insurance providing coverage at least as broad as that provided by ISO Form CA 00 01. This policy must (A) have a combined single limit of at least $1,000,000 for each occurrence; and (B) cover owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles.
(3) A policy of fire-and-casualty insurance that insures the Digital Billboard for its full replacement value against damage or destruction by fire or by any of the perils commonly covered under the standard extended-coverage endorsement to fire-insurance policies issued on real property in Placer County.
(4) A policy of workers-compensation insurance with limits at least equal to those required by California law and including employer-liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000. This policy must include a waiver of subrogation against the City. As an alternative to this policy, and subject to approval by the City’s Risk Management Division, CCO may provide the City with a copy of CCO’s Certificate of Consent to Self-Insure from the California Department of Industrial Relations and a certificate showing CCO’s excess-insurance limits and self-insured retentions.
(b) Insurer Qualifications. Each policy must be issued by an insurer the California Department of Insurance has authorized to transact business in California in the relevant line of insurance, and the insurer must have a rating of at least “A” by A.M. Best Company or a rating the City’sRisk Management Division determines to be substantially equivalent. 19 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX (c) Evidence of Insurance. CCO shall submit a certificate evidencing such coverage in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney of City, prior to exercising any rights hereunder. CCO shall also provide a separate endorsement form or section of the policy showing City, its officers, agents and employees, and Landlord as additional named insureds for each type of coverage, except for Workers’ Compensation. Such insurance shall specifically cover the contractual liability of CCO. The coverage shall be primary as to such additional insureds and no coverage of the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss with respect to the liabilities assumed by CCO under this Agreement. In addition, the insurance policy may not contain language which prohibits additional insureds or other insurers from satisfying the self-insured retention or deductible. CCO shall provide thirty (30) days written notice to City prior to cancellation or material modification of any insurance required by this Agreement. CCO shall furnish a certificate and any renewal certificates as necessary, for the period covered by this Agreement.

Any insurance written on a claims made basis is subject to the prior approval of the City Attorney. Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve CCO of liability in excess of such coverage, nor shall it preclude City from taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provisions of this Agreement or law. Any self-insured retentions must be declared on the certificate of insurance and approved by City in writing.
(d) Notice. Each of the policies must obligate the insurer to give the City at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice before the policy is cancelled or materially changed. (e) Other Requirements. The general-liability and automobile-liability policies must each:
(1) With respect to the liabilities assumed by CCO under this Agreement, provide thatCCO’s insurance coverage is primary insurance with respect to the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents; and
(2) provide that CCO’s insurance applies separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or a suit brought, except with respect to the applicable policy limits. (f) Quinquennial Review. The City may reasonably revise these insurance requirements every five (5) years if the City reasonably determines that revision is needed to conform the policy terms, conditions, and limits with then-current insurance-industry standards for structures and real property comparable to the Digital Billboard and the Premises. A revision will take effect thirty (30) days after the City gives CCO notice in accordance with Section 12(c). (g) No Limit on Indemnification. Nothing in this Section 11 limits CCO’s obligations underSection

10. (h) Ground Lease. The parties acknowledge that under the Ground Lease that City is obligated to require CCO to indemnify and insure Landlord, and therefore this Section 10 shall be interpreted broadly to ensure full compliance with the Ground Lease.

12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Assignments and Subleases. A party may not assign or otherwise transfer this Sublease or any interest in it, and this Sublease is not assignable by operation of law, without the other party’s prior written consent, which the other party shall not withhold, delay, or condition unreasonably.

An assignment or transfer of this Sublease does not occur, for purposes of this Section 12(a), if 20 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX CCO merges with another company, reorganizes its stock, or undergoes a similar corporate restructuring, or if CCO sells any of its assets or stock. CCO may not sublease the Premises or any part of the Premises, or the Digital Billboard or any part of the Digital Billboard, without the City’s prior written consent, which the City may withhold or condition in its sole discretion.

(e) Force Majeure.
(1) “Force Majeure Event” means a cause of delay that is not the fault of the party who is required to perform under this Sublease and is beyond that party’s reasonable control, including the elements (including floods, earthquakes, windstorms, and unusually severe weather), fire, energy shortages or rationing, riots, acts of terrorism, war or war-defense conditions, acts of any public enemy, epidemics, pandemics, the actions or inactions of any governmental entity (excluding the City) or that entity’s agents, litigation, labor shortages (including shortages caused by strikes or walkouts), and materials shortages.

(f) Waiver of Breach. A party’s failure to insist on strict performance of this Sublease or to exercise any right or remedy upon the other party’s breach of this Sublease will not constitute a waiver of the performance, right, or remedy. A party’s waiver of the other party’s breach of any provision in this Sublease will not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. A waiver is binding only if set forth in writing and signed by the waiving party.
(g) Relationship of the Parties. This Sublease does not create any relationship or association between the City and CCO other than that of landlord and tenant. For example, and without limiting the previous sentence, this Sublease does not create between the City and CCO the relationship of principal and agent, nor does it create a partnership or joint venture. (h) Attorney’s Fees. The party prevailing in any litigation concerning this Sublease, the Premises, or any improvements to the Premises (including the Digital Billboard) will be entitled to an award by the court of reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs through final resolution on appeal in addition to any other relief that may be granted in the litigation. If the City is the prevailing party, then this Section 12(h) will apply whether the City is represented in the litigation by the Office of the City Attorney or by outside counsel.
(i) Severability. If a court with jurisdiction holds any nonmaterial provision of this Sublease to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions will remain in full force. (j) Counterparts. The parties may execute this Sublease in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which will constitute the same Sublease. (k) Memorandum of Sublease.

This Sublease is to be interpreted and applied in accordance with California law without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that the rule of interpretation in California Civil Code section 1654 will not apply.
(o) Integration and Modification. This Sublease sets forth the parties’ entire understanding regarding the matters addressed. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, 22 \\Rosenet\rosenetdfs\CITY ATTORNEY\CYCOM\WPDOCS\D001\P005\00062003.DOCX representations, and negotiations (written, oral, express, or implied) and may be modified only by another written agreement signed by both parties.

1 Roseville Digital Billboard Project
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Responses to Public Comments
January 3, 2022
This Response to Comments document contains comments received during the public review period for the Roseville Digital Billboard Project (proposed project) Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The City of Roseville, as lead agency, released the IS/MND for public review beginning on November 19, 2021 and ending on December 20, 2021 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15105.

According to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15073 and 15074, the lead agency must consider the comments received during consultation and review periods together with the IS/MND. However, unlike with an Environmental Impact Report, comments received on an IS/MND are not required to be attached to the negative declaration, nor must the lead agency make specific written responses to public agencies. Nonetheless, the lead agency has chosen to provide responses to those specific public comments that are related to the environmental analysis contained in the IS/MND. Nonenvironmental comments have been considered by the City as part of staff’s report to the City Council.

COMMENTS AND RESPONSES
The City of Roseville received two comment letters during the open comment period on the IS/MND for the proposed project. The following section includes responses to each of the comment letters, insofar as the comments address environmental topics. The letters are numbered and environmental-related comments are bracketed with assigned comment numbers. The bracketed comment letters are followed by numbered responses corresponding to each bracketed comment. 2 Letter 1

Response to Comment 1-1
The comment is an introductory statement and does not address the adequacy of the IS/MND.

Response to Comment 1-2
The comment provides background information regarding applicable regulations and required permits. The comment does not address the adequacy of the IS/MND, and has been noted for the record.

Response to Comment 1-3
The comment is a conclusion statement and does not address the adequacy of the IS/MND. 8 Letter 2

9 LETTER 2: ANNA M. STARKEY, UNITED AUBURN INDIAN COMMUNITY, DECEMBER 20, 2021 Response to Comment 2-1
The comment is an introductory statement and does not address the adequacy of the IS/MND.

Response to Comment 2-2
In response to the commenter’s concern, page 3-49 of the IS/MND is hereby revised to include the requested mitigation measure:
[…] Should buried or otherwise unknown tribal cultural resources be encountered and/or damaged during construction, a potentially significant impact would occur. However, implementation of Mitigation Measures TCR-1 and TCR-2 would reduce the potential impact to less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

3.2.18.2 Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure TCR-1: Implement Post Ground Disturbance Site Visit A minimum of seven days prior to beginning earthwork, clearing and grubbing, or other soil disturbing activities, the applicant shall notify lead agency of the proposed earthwork start-date. The lead agency shall contact the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) with the proposed earthwork start-date and a UAIC Tribal Representative or Tribal Monitor shall be invited to inspect the project site, including any soil piles, trenches, or other disturbed areas, within the first five days of groundbreaking activity, or as appropriate for the type and size of project. During this inspection, a UAIC Tribal Representative or Tribal Monitor may provide an on-site meeting for construction personnel information on TCRs and workers awareness brochure.

If any TCRs are encountered during this initial inspection, or during any subsequent construction activities, work shall be suspended within 100 feet of the find and the measures included in the Inadvertent/Unanticipated Discoveries Mitigation Measure shall be implemented. Preservation in place is the preferred alternative under CEQA and UAIC protocols, and every effort must be made to preserve the resources in place, including through project redesign.
• The contractor shall implement any measures deemed by CEQA lead agency to be necessary and feasible to preserve in place, avoid, or minimize significant effects to the resources, including the use of a paid Native American Monitor during ground disturbing activities.

Mitigation Measure TCR-1 TCR-2: Implement Measures to Protect Unanticipated Discoveries.

Response to Comment 2-3
Please refer to Response to Comment 2-2. The requested change would not result in any new or more severe impacts as compared to those already identified and addressed in the IS/MND. In addition, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5, recirculation of the IS/MND is not warranted as the requested addition would not result in any substantial revisions to the proposed project.

Response to Comment 2-4
The comment is a conclusion statement and does not address the adequacy of the IS/MND.
