While staff has reviewed the preliminary rendering of the proposed directional sign and
the map showing possible signs' locations through out the City, staff proposes the
following conditions should the City Council decide to enter into an agreement with the
BIAlOC:
. The proposed sign program would need to reflect 100 percent
participation from all builders and no other builder signs could be located
in the right-of-way.
. The signs would need to be constructed and maintained by the BIAlOC at
no charge to the City.
. The signs can only advertise new residential developments within the City
of Tustin boundary only.
. The signs can only advertise the name of the new communities i.e.
Columbus Square, Tustin Field, etc. but not builder(s) i.e. Lennar Homes,
John Laing Homes, etc.
. The signs would need to be made with durable materials such as
recyclable materials to withstand weather conditions.
. The maximum sign height would need to be six (6) feet.
. Two panels on each sign would need to be set aside for City uses at no
charge to the City.
. The City reserves the rights to add City's logo, moniker, or special fonts to
the header panel of all signs.
. The proposed sign locations must conform to the sight distance
requirements of City Standard No. 510.
. The proposed signs shall not obstruct and/or encroach on any ex"isting
traffic signs, traffic control devices, etc. that would result in any impacts to
traffic operations or interfere with any existing or proposed bicycle, bus or
pedestrian activities.
. If any of the signs, after installation, are found to cause any significant
impacts as determined by the Director of Public Works, the signs shall be
removed immediately at the applicant's expense.

. Upon close out of each development, the BIAlOe at its sole cost and
expense shall remove the respective community panel from the directional
sign(s). Upon close-out of all developments, the BIAlOC at its sole cost
and expense shall be responsible for the removal of all signs from the
City's rig ht -of-way.
. The BIAlOC shall agree, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, indemnify,
and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees, agents, and consultants,
from any claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the
City, its officers, agents, and employees, which seeks to attack, set aside,
challenge, void, or annul an approval of the City Council, the Planning
Commission, or any other decision-making body, including staff, concerning
the proposed signs. The City agrees to promptly notify BIAlOC of any such
claim or action filed against the City and to fully cooperate in the defense of
any such action. The City may, at its sole cost and expense, elect to
participate in defense of any such action under this condition.
The proposed Sign Program would eliminate the need for individual builder's sign;
therefore avoids signs clutter. The Sign Program would provide connectivity and
continuity of residential development signage through out the City. The Sign Program
would also provide opportunity for the City to provide directional signs to City's parks,
community facilities, etc. For these reasons, staff recommends that the City Council
direct the City Manager and/or designee to negotiate and execute agreement with the
BIAlOC.
