New eComment for Regular Meeting of the City
Council
Genevieve Sawicz submitted a new eComment.
Meeting: Regular Meeting of the City Council
Item: 7. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1507 Adoption of
Ordinance No. 1507 approves Development Agreement (DA) 2020-0001 which establishes the
terms of the DA, public benefits, and annual performance review in conjunction with Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) 2020-0006. On June 2, 2020, the City Council approved CUP 2020-0006
amending the conditions of approval for an existing freeway billboard at the Tustin Auto Center.
eComment: I think that digital billboards are a distraction to drivers. The digital billboard is
constantly changing, and are designed specifically to attract the attention of drivers -which is
exactly what none of us want to happen: a driver distracted on a freeway in very fast moving
heavy machine. Anything that takes a driver's eyes of the road longer than 2 seconds is
scientifically proven to be a safety hazard. Digital Billboards are road hazards. Furthermore, all
billboards, but especially digital billboards are landscape pollution - they clutter the skyline and
ruin the cleanliness of the city. Simply, they are ugly. Natural plants and trees are psychologically
better for our health. Stressful, distracting billboards can lead to stress and poor decision making
on our freeways. Let's keep Tustin pretty. Lastly, digital billboards strain our electricity and
resources. I do not want my A/C to be cycled off in the blazing temperatures of summer so that a
digital billboard can distract drivers and endanger lives within our community. For all of these
reasons, I do not agree with approving this conditional use permit again.
