CODE OF REGS., TITLE 14, SECTION 15162) REQUEST: A REQUEST TO DEMOLISH AN EXISTING STATIC BILLBOARD AND CONSTRUCT A NEW FREEWAY ADJACENT DIGITAL BILLBOARD WITH AN OVERALL HEIGHT OF NINETY(90) FEET AND TWO (2) SIGN FACES MEASURING TWENTY (20) FEET BY SIXTY (60) FEET EACH RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4480 recommending the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2023-0008 and Development Agreement PC Report October 24, 2023 CUP 2023-0008 & DA 2023-0001 Page 2 (DA) 2023-0001 to replace an existing static billboard with a new freeway adjacent digital billboard with an overall height of ninety (90)feet and two (2) sign faces measuring twenty (20) feet by sixty (60) feet each and remove three (3) static billboards located elsewhere in the City. APPROVAL AUTHORITY Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9404(b)(7), freeway adjacent digital display billboards are conditionally permitted and require approval of a DA. TCC Section 9291(c) requires the Planning Commission to consider and make a determination on requests for a CUP, however this item is forwarded to the City Council for concurrent consideration with the DA. Pursuant to TCC Section 9613, the City Council is authorized to consider the DA following the Planning Commission recommendation. BACKGROUND Since December 1994, the City has had a static Figure 1. Existing Static Billboard display billboard lease agreement with Outfront Media, LLC ("Outfront") or its predecessors at the HOME Decor, City-owned property located at 1021 Edinger Avenue (subject site). 4. The existing static billboard is an eighty (80) foot tall, double-faced billboard with sign face . dimensions of fourteen (14)feet by forty-eight(48) feet. It is located approximately 300 feet from the nearest travel lane on the State Route (SR) 55 freeway and 400 feet from the nearest residential property to the north (Figure 1). On February 4, 2022, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1505 (which was codified as TCC 9404(b)(7)) and an initial study/mitigated negative declaration (adopted MND) regarding freeway adjacent digital display billboards. The adopted MND specifically addressed and analyzed the replacement of the subject static billboard with a digital billboard, as further described in the Environmental Review section of this report. The existing static billboard is the only billboard that qualifies for such replacement pursuant to TCC 9404(b)(7). On November 15, 2022, the City Council approved, as to form, a lease agreement between the City of Tustin and Outfront for a digital display billboard on the subject City-owned property contingent upon Outfront successfully obtaining all necessary entitlements including the requested CUP and DA. PC Report October 24, 2023 CUP 2023-0008 & DA 2023-0001 Page 3 Site and Surroundings The property is located within the Planned Community Commercial — Specific Plan 11 (PCC - SP 11) zoning district ("Pacific Center East Specific Plan") and designated for Commercial Center uses. The General Plan land use designation is Planned Community Commercial Business, which allows for a variety of retail, professional office, service commercial and other uses that support the land use. The project site is currently undeveloped except for the existing static billboard to be replaced. The site abuts railroad tracks to the north and residential beyond, Edinger Avenue to the south and a hotel development beyond, undeveloped property designated for Commercial Center uses to the east, and a gas station and propane supplier to the west. Beyond the gas station to the west is the SR 55 freeway (Figure 2). City of V. Santa Ana �icientialP . f' •� r p 9 m Vacant Residential Propane Gas supplier - � Station SR 55 aoT Freeway f r a.

Project Site Aerial and Surrounding Land Uses PC Report October 24, 2023 CUP 2023-0008 & DA 2023-0001 Page 4 DISCUSSION Project Summary The applicant is requesting to replace an existing static billboard with a ninety (90) foot tall, freeway adjacent digital billboard with two (2) sign faces measuring twenty (20) feet by sixty (60) feet each at the City-owned property located at 1021 Edinger Avenue. This proposal also includes the removal of three (3) additional static billboards located at 14092 Red Hill Avenue, 1501 Nisson Road, and 1631 El Camino Real and includes public benefits to the City including no-cost advertising time, among others, as further described in the Development Agreement and Public Benefits section below. Site and Sign Plans The proposed digital display billboard is located closer to the southwestern corner of the subject site than the existing static billboard. This is intended to maximize the amount of space available on the parcel for future development as shown in Figure 3 below. The proposed billboard would be ninety (90) feet tall and have two (2) twenty (20) by sixty (60) foot sign faces arranged in a V-configuration, similar to the existing billboard, to maximize visibility to the SR 55 freeway as shown in Figure 4. The sign pole will be painted in a light neutral color in compliance with the design standards for SP-11. The sign pole is located sufficiently away from the driveway entrance to the adjacent gas station and propane supplier to prevent impacts to traffic visibility for vehicles accessing these sites as shown on Figure 3 below. The Outdoor Advertising unit of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reviewed the proposed project and advised they did not have any comments.

Code of Regs., title 14, Section 15162). In February 2020, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1505 and related Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (adopted MND) to allow the conversion of static freeway adjacent billboards to digital billboards subject to complying with development standards and obtaining a CUP and DA. CEQA compliance for the digitization and relocation of the subject billboard was documented throughout the adopted MND. The project will be required to comply with applicable mitigation measures identified in the adopted MND. There are no substantial changes in the project nor in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken which would require revisions to the adopted MND or a new environmental document. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, no further analysis is required beyond the adopted MND. A complete Environmental Consistency Analysis (Attachment E) is attached to this report with more information. CONCLUSION The proposed project is consistent with TCC 9404(b)(7) and provides public benefits to the City as described in the DA. Accordingly, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4480 recommending that the City Council approve CUP 2023-0008 and DA 2023-0001, a request to replace an existing static billboard with a freeway adjacent digital display billboard measuring ninety feet (90') tall with two (2) sign faces measuring twenty feet (20') by sixty feet (60) and including the removal of three (3) off-site static billboards.

That a proper application has been submitted by David Ryan of Outfront Media, LLC for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2023-0008 and Development Agreement (DA) 2023-0001 requesting to replace an existing static billboard with a ninety (90) foot tall, freeway adjacent digital billboard with two (2) sign faces measuring twenty feet (20') by sixty feet (60') each. The project also includes the removal of three (3) additional static billboards located at 1631 El Camino Real, 1501 Nisson Road, and 14092 Red Hill Avenue. The project is located at 1021 Edinger Avenue within the Commercial Center land use area of the Pacific Center East Specific Plan (SP-11). B. That the development application includes the following requests: 1. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2023-0008 to construct a new freeway adjacent digital billboard; and 2. Development Agreement (DA) 2023-0001 to identify public benefits in association with the proposed request. C. That the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub- element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element. D. That pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9404(b)(7) and Ordinance No. 1539 (Exhibit D), freeway adjacent digital display billboards require approval of a CUP and DA. E. That the site is zoned as Planned Community Commercial, Pacific Center East Specific Plan (PCC, SP-11) and has a General Plan land use designation of Planned Community Commercial Business (PCCB). Resolution No. 4480 Page 2 F. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2023-0008 and DA 2023-0001 on October 24, 2023, by the Planning Commission. G. That TCC Section 9404(b)(7) requires freeway adjacent digital display billboards to obtain a DA in accordance with Section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code and Sections 9600 to 9619 of the TCC. In compliance with TCC Section 9611, the Tustin Planning Commission must make a recommendation on the proposed DA to the City Council. The DA can be supported by the following findings: 1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and the Pacific Center East Specific Plan in that the proposed freeway adjacent digital display billboard use is a conditionally permitted use that supports City programs and generates revenue. 2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real property is located in that the existing static billboard is the only sign that qualifies for replacement with a digital display billboard pursuant to TCC 9404(b)(7). 3. The project is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practices in that the agreement incorporates public benefits in the form of advertisements for city events and financial contributions to the City. Moreover, three (3) existing static billboard signs located elsewhere in the City will be removed as a public benefit. 4. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare in that the proposed digital display billboard is replacing an existing static billboard, and the removal of three (3) offsite static billboards as shown in Exhibit C and will comply with the mitigation measures established with Ordinance No. 1505, which codified TCC 9404(b)(7). 5. That, as conditioned, the billboard structure and use will not be detrimental to health, safety, and general welfare. 6. That the project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property in that the proposed sign is located closer to the southwestern corner of the site to maximize the amount of square footage available for future development. 7. That the project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City in that the provisions of the proposed DA and the public benefits contained therein Resolution No. 4480 Page 3 will allow for no cost, city-related advertising and public safety announcements by law enforcement agencies. H. That in approving a freeway adjacent digital display billboard, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council make the following findings pursuant to TCC 9404(b)(7): 1. That the proposed sign complies with the requirements of TCC 9404(b)(7) and Chapter 4 of Article 9 of the TCC; 2. That, as conditioned, the proposed sign will not create a traffic or safety hazard as the digital display will follow all applicable laws and regulations regarding illumination and motorist distraction prevention, and furthermore is located so as to not impede traffic visibility at the street grade; 3. That, as conditioned, the proposed sign will not create a nuisance to adjacent property as the digital display is located more than 300 feet away from the nearest residential use and designed such that light trespass levels will be no more than 0.3 foot-candles at 250 feet; and 4. That the proposed sign will not result in any undue or significant increase in visual clutter in the area surrounding the parcel upon which the freeway adjacent digital display billboard will be located as the existing static billboard will be removed as part of the construction of the new digital display billboard. I. That the Planning Commission considered an exemption from the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Section 15162 states that, when a negative declaration has been adopted for a project, no subsequent environmental impact report (EIR) shall be prepared for that project under certain conditions. In February 2020, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1505 and related Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (adopted MND) to allow the conversion of static freeway adjacent billboards to digital billboards subject to complying with development standards and obtaining a CUP and DA. CEQA compliance for the digitization and relocation of the proposed billboard was documented throughout the adopted MND. The project will be required to comply with applicable mitigation measures identified in the adopted MND. Accordingly, the project qualifies for the Section 15162 exemption because: 1. There are no substantial changes proposed which will require major revisions of the previous negative declaration as there are no new significant environmental effects nor a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; Resolution No. 4480 Page 4 2. There are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major revisions of the previous negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and 3. There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous negative declaration was adopted. II. The Planning Commission hereby adopts Resolution No. 4480 recommending that the City Council approve CUP 2023-0008 and DA 2023-0001, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2023-0008 FOR A FREEWAY ADJACENT DIGITAL DISPLAY BILLBOARD AT THE CITY-OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1021 EDINGER AVENUE The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper application has been submitted by David Ryan of Outfront Media, LLC for the replacement of an existing static billboard with a new ninety-foot-tall (90')freeway adjacent digital display board with two (2) sign faces measuring twenty feet (20') by sixty feet (60') each. The project also includes the removal of three (3) off-site static billboards located at 1631 El Camino Real, 1501 Nisson Road, and 14092 Red Hill Avenue. B. That pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9404(b)(7) and Ordinance No. 1505, freeway adjacent digital display billboards require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Development Agreement (DA) and public benefits. C. That DA 2023-0001 serves to identify public benefits in association with CUP 2023-0008 for a freeway adjacent digital display billboard at 1021 Edinger Avenue. D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on October 24, 2023, by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4480 recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1539 and approve the proposed CUP and DA. E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on , by the City Council. F. That the City Council determined the subject project to be exempt from the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Section 15162 states that, when a negative declaration has been adopted for a project, no subsequent environmental impact report (EIR) shall be prepared for that project under certain conditions. In February 2020, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1505 and related Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (adopted MND) to allow the conversion of static freeway adjacent Ordinance No. 1539 DA-2023-0001 Page 2 billboards to digital billboards subject to complying with development standards and obtaining a CUP and DA. CEQA compliance for the digitization and relocation of the proposed billboard was documented throughout the adopted MND. The project will be required to comply with applicable mitigation measures identified in the adopted MND. Accordingly, the project qualifies for the Section 15162 exemption because: 1. There are no substantial changes proposed which will require major revisions of the previous negative declaration as there are no new significant environmental effects nor a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; 2. There are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major revisions of the previous negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and, 3. There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous negative declaration was adopted. G. That the DA can be supported by the following findings: 1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and the Pacific Center East Specific Plan in that the proposed freeway adjacent digital display billboard use is a conditionally permitted use that supports City programs and generates revenue. 2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real property is located in that the existing static billboard is the only sign that qualifies for replacement with a digital display billboard pursuant to TCC 9404(b)(7). 3. The project is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practices in that the agreement incorporates public benefits in the form of advertisements for city events and financial contributions to the City. Moreover, three (3) existing static billboards located elsewhere in the City will be removed as a public benefit. 4. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare in that the proposed digital display billboard is replacing an existing static billboard and will comply with the mitigation measures Ordinance No. 1539 DA-2023-0001 Page 3 established with Ordinance No. 1505, which codified TCC 9404(b)(7). That, as conditioned, the billboard structure and use will not be detrimental to health, safety, and general welfare. 5. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property in that the proposed sign is located closer to the southwestern corner of the site to maximize the amount of square footage available for future development. 6. The project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City in that the provisions of the proposed DA and conditions of approval will ensure that the project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City. H. That the City Council makes the following findings pursuant to TCC 9404(b)(7): 1. That the proposed sign complies with the requirements of TCC 9404(b)(7) and Chapter 4 of Article 9 of the TCC; 2. That the proposed sign will not create a traffic or safety hazard; 3. That the proposed sign will not create a nuisance to adjacent property; and, 4. That the proposed sign will not result in any undue or significant increase in visual clutter in the area surrounding the parcel upon which the freeway adjacent digital display billboard will be located. SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves DA-2023-0001 attached hereto as Exhibit A and subject to final approval of the City Attorney. SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Tustin hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Environmental Consistency Analysis 1 INTRODUCTION 1 .1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Environmental Consistency Analysis is to determine if the potential environmental impacts of the proposed 1021 Edinger Avenue Digital Display Billboard Project are addressed in the City of Tustin Freeway Adjacent Digital Display Billboards Ordinance adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (adopted MND) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Based on this analysis, the proposed Project would be consistent with the adopted MND, and no further analysis is required. 1 .2 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION In February 2020, the City of Tustin (City) adopted the City of Tustin Freeway Adjacent Digital Display Billboards Ordinance (Ordinance No. 1505) and related Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (adopted MND). Prior to Ordinance No. 1505, the City's signs regulations generally prohibited "off- premises" signs, which are defined by the City to include any commercial sign or structure erected and/or maintained for advertising a business, activity,service,or product not sold or produced on the premises upon which the sign is placed, including a billboard or any other outdoor advertising sign and structure. The City of Tustin Freeway Adjacent Digital Billboards Ordinance Initial Study (IS) included an amendment to Tustin City Code Article 9,Chapter 4,to exempt certain freeway adjacent digital display billboards from the Sign Regulations prohibition of off-premises signs. The code amendments allow freeway adjacent digital display billboards in commercial zones, upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Development Agreement. The ordinance took effect on March 6, 2020. Per Ordinance No. 1505, a digital display billboard may only replace an existing billboard and new freeway adjacent billboards are not allowed. In order to replace a static billboard with a digital billboard, the existing billboard must be located within 400 feet of either the Interstate 5 (I-5) or the State Route 55 (SR-55) right of way and may not be within 300 feet of the nearest residential property. The adopted MND analyzed six existing billboards and determined that, of the six existing billboards, only one billboard (Billboard 1) would be eligible for conversion to a digital display because it met the criteria of not being located within 300 feet of any residentially zoned property and is located within 400 feet of SR-55. As described in the adopted MND, Billboard 1 is located along the east side of SR-55, approximately 75 feet northeast of Edinger Avenue, on a parcel identified as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 430-252-05.The existing billboard site zoning is "Specific Plan No. 1 1—Pacific Center East Specific Plan (PCESP). CEQA compliance for the digitization of Billboard 1 was documented through the adopted MND. Construction activities analyzed in the adopted MND that are associated with the conversion of Billboard 1 to a digital display include: removing the existing copy, removing the existing billboard section, and removing the metal pieces that attach the sign to the billboard.The static billboard would then be upgraded with light-emitting diode (LED) face to allow for digital advertisements. The billboard could also undergo alterations in height, orientation, and display. In addition, the adopted MND states that the billboard could potentially be relocated to the western corner of the property, should the property owner wish to move the billboard within the existing property to allow for potential future development on the parcel. 1 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 EXISTING SETTING Project Location The proposed Project location is within the southwestern portion of the City of Tustin at 1021 Edinger Ave, Tustin, CA 92780. Regional access to the site is provided by SR-55 to the east and 1-5 to the north. Local access to the site is via Edinger Ave, located south of the site. The project site and surrounding area are shown in Figure 1, Aerial View, and Figure 2, Project Vicinity. Existing Project Site The project site is on a city-owned lot identified as Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 430-252-05. The site consists of vacant undeveloped land. There is one existing static billboard structure on the western side of the lot, which is referred to as "Billboard 1" in the adopted MND, as shown in Figures 3a and 3b, Existing Billboard Photos. The remainder of the lot is vacant undeveloped land. The existing static billboard is an 80- foot-tall double-faced billboard with sign face dimensions of 14 feet by 48 feet. The billboard is located in the western side of the lot as shown in Figure 1,Aerial View. The project site has a zoning designation of Planned Community Commercial (PC COM) and SP 1 1- Pacific Center East and a City of Tustin General Plan land use designation of Planned Community Commercial/Business (PCCB). The PCCB designation is intended to provide opportunities for a mixture of all activities that may be permitted within the Community Commercial, Professional Office, and Industrial land use designations. Land uses surrounding the project site are listed below and shown in Figure 2, Project Vicinity. • North: railroad followed by residential • East: railroad followed by residential • South: Edinger Ave., commercial, and hotels • West: Gas station followed by SR-55 2.2 PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed Project would demolish the existing billboard and construct a double-faced digital display billboard with Light Emitting Diode (LED) on both faces. The new billboard would be located about 55 feet southwest of the existing billboard, on the western corner of the property, to allow for future development of the parcel. The new billboard would have an overall height of 90 feet from grade to the top of the sign face. As shown in Figure 4, Digital Display Billboard Elevations,the sign face dimensions of the proposed billboard would be 20 feet by 60 feet.The billboard would be positioned on a 70-foot-tall pole that would be 48 inches to 54 inches in diameter. The design would also include a concrete footing and foundation that would extend 43 feet below grade. The pole would be a neutral color (light concrete or stone color). Further, under each digital face, a metallic gray metal sheet apron measuring 2 feet and 6 inches in height by 60 feet in width, would be placed and would serve as a platform for maintenance and repair. There are no proposed climbing ladders to prevent vandalism and unauthorized access to the billboard. The billboard would be oriented facing northwest and southwest and would be visible from SR-55. The display would be illuminated 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The light levels emitted from the digital display would be set to adjust based upon ambient light conditions. The proposed billboard would connect to existing electrical facilities at the site, and would not require relocation, expansion, or construction of new electrical facilities. 2 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected ® None ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Agriculture/Forestry Resources ❑ Air Quality ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Energy ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Greenhouse Gas Emissions ❑ Hazards/Hazardous Materials ❑ Hydrology Water Quality ❑ Land Use Planning ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Noise ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Public Services ❑ I Recreation ❑ Transportation ❑ Tribal Cultural Resources ❑ I Utilities/Service Systems ❑ I Wildfire ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE FURTHER ANALYSIS The subject areas listed below were determined to have "No Impact" or "Less than Significant Impact" in the adopted MND. Mitigation measures were not listed for these impact categories in the adopted MND. Potential environmental impacts of upgrading and relocating Billboard 1 were already analyzed in the adopted MND. No substantial changes are proposed in the project and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous approved ND or MND or certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Also, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). Therefore,the previously adopted ND or MND or previously certified EIR adequately discusses the potential impacts of the project without modification. Therefore, the following subject areas require no further CEQA analysis: • Air Quality • Cultural Resources • Energy • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Hydrology/Water Quality • Land Use/Planning • Hydrology/Water Quality • Land Use/Planning • Mineral Resources • Population/Housing • Public Services • Recreation • Transportation • Tribal Cultural Resources • Utilities/Service Systems • Wildfire • Mandatory Findings of Significance 14 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis 3.3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS This analysis has been undertaken pursuant to the provision of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines to provide the factual basis for determining whether the proposed Project, or if any new information that has come to light, requires the preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental IS/MND or Addendum to the adopted IS/MND. Based on the findings of the adopted IS/MND and the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines,the City as the Lead Agency determined that the environmental effect of the proposed Project does not trigger the need for a Subsequent or Supplemental IS/MND, or an Addendum to the adopted IS/MND. CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation,if any,to be completed when there is a previously adopted ND or a previously certified EIR for the project. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162(a) and 15163 state that when an EIR has been certified or a ND has been adopted for a project, no Subsequent or Supplemental EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following: 1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; 2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or 3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. 15 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E Environmental Consistency Analysis 3.4 DETERMINATION ❑X No substantial changes are proposed in the project and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous approved ND or MND or certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.Also,there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 151 62(a)(3). Therefore,the previously adopted ND or MND or previously certified EIR adequately discusses the potential impacts of the project without modification. ❑ No substantial changes are proposed in the project and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous approved ND or MND or certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.Also,there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 151 62(a)(3). Therefore,the previously adopted ND,MND or previously certified EIR adequately discusses the potential impacts of the project; however, minor changes require the preparation of an ADDENDUM. ❑ Substantial changes are proposed in the project or there are substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous ND, MND or EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Or,there is "new information of substantial importance," as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). However, all new potentially significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of previously identified significant effects are clearly reduced to below a level of significance through the incorporation of mitigation measures agreed to by the project applicant. Therefore, a SUBSEQUENT MND is required. ❑ Substantial changes are proposed in the project or there are substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous environmental document due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Or, there is "new information of substantial importance," as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). However, only minor changes or additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequate for the project in the changed situation. Therefore, a SUPPLEMENTAL EIR is required. ❑ Substantial changes are proposed in the project or there are substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous environmental document due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Or, there is "new information of substantial importance," as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3) such as one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

Environmental Consistency Analysis 4 CEQA COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST QUESTIONS 4.1 AESTHETICS Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1505 and related IS/MND, are there any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that cause one or more effects to aesthetics, including the following: Yes No a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ❑ b) Substantially damage scenic resources,including, but not limited to,trees,rock ❑ outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or ❑ quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible 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 which would adversely affect ❑ day or nighttime views in the area? a-d. No new impact/consistent with the adopted MIND: The adopted MIND analyzed the potential aesthetic impacts related to the digitization of Billboard 1, accounting for the potential for alterations in height, orientation, display, and possible relocation to the wester corner of the property. The MIND concluded that the resulting impacts to views of local mountains would be similar to the impacts of the already existing static billboard; as such, impacts to scenic vistas were considered less than significant. Furthermore, the MIND determined that the project would have no impact on scenic resources within a State Scenic Highway because there are no scenic resources located in the vicinity of the project. As described in the adopted MIND,the project site is in an urbanized area. Of the 6 billboards analyzed in the approved MIND, only Billboard 1 meets the requirements set forth in the City Code Amendments to be digitized. The proposed Project would relocate the billboard to the western corner of the property. The sign face dimensions would increase from the existing 14 feet by 48 feet (or approximately 672 square feet) to 40 feet by 60 feet (or approximately 2,400 square feet). The height would increase by 10 feet, from the existing 80 feet to 90 feet. At the new location, the digitized billboard would be oriented facing northwest and southwest towards SR- 55 and would not be facing directly towards nearby sensitive receptors. Based on the distance to the nearest residentially zoned property (more than 300 feet), the MIND concluded that the implementation of the ordinance does not conflict with applicable zoning laws. The digital display billboard that is currently proposed would be located 450 feet from the nearest residential properties and would be facing northwest and southwest. The analysis in the adopted MIND accounted for potential relocation to the western corner of the property and anticipated that the sign could be converted to a digital display billboard. In addition, the adopted MIND disclosed the potential for the billboard to change in height, orientation, and display.Therefore,there have been no substantial changes to the project since the adopted MIND and no further analysis is required. 17 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis Existing nighttime light sources in the vicinity of Billboard 1 include streetlights, parking lot lights, headlights from passing vehicles, highway lighting, and lighting on buildings and structures. The adopted MND states that, the nearest sensitive receptor to Billboard 1 is a multi-family apartment complex, located approximately 420 feet northwest of the existing billboard. As stated in the adopted MND, mitigation measure (MM) AES-1 would be implemented to ensure that the light or glare impacts associated with the relocation and conversion of Billboard 1 to a new digital display billboard would be less than significant. MM AES-1 requires a site-specific lighting study to confirm that the maximum intensity of light output produced by billboards authorized pursuant to the code amendments would not exceed 0.3 foot-candle at 250 feet, which is the International Sign Association's maximum nighttime brightness level recommendation for digital display billboards. A project-specific lighting study was prepared for the proposed billboard digitization and relocation Project. As illustrated in Figure 5, Lighting Study, light output from the proposed Project would not exceed 0.3 foot-candle at 250 feet. Therefore, the proposed Project meets the requirements of MM AES-1. The adopted MND also requires MM AES-2 to ensure that LED billboards would include an operating mechanism that turns off the display or turns it all black in the event of a malfunction. In accordance with MM AES-2, the proposed Project would include digital sensors that measure the amount of indirect ambient light and not direct light such as streetlights and vehicle headlights. Measuring indirect light from within the source allows to accurately control the brightness of the sign to fit the ambient light conditions during the daytime. During the evening and night hours, computer-controlled software would be utilized to manually limit the brightness to eliminate the possibility of false readings. Furthermore, remote power management and software functions would be utilized to blank a display in case of malfunction. Software functions include the ability to "blank" the billboard display and to disable light output to the digital display. As such, the proposed Project would meet the requirements of MM AES-2. Implementation of MM AES-3, as stated in the adopted MND,is required to ensure that the LED signs' operational parameters are provided to the City for review and approval prior to initial operation. The proposed Project would implement all measures listed in the adopted MND. Therefore, the proposed Project would meet the requirements of MM AES-3. Analysis of Driver Distraction Driver distraction could occur due to the changing of electronic messages on the proposed LED billboard. An analysis of driver distraction was provided in the adopted MND. Per the city code amendment, each static message or image shall be displayed for a minimum of eight consecutive seconds before changing, and the transition or blank screen time between one display message and the next shall not exceed one second. The analysis concludes that the code amendments would ensure that any billboard converted to LED would exceed the relevant State and federal requirements and impacts related to driver distraction would be minimal.The proposed Project would be required to follow local city code regulation.Therefore,the potential impacts of the proposed Project to driver distraction have already been analyzed in the adopted MND. FHWA and Caltrans Policy The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has addressed signage issues in general, and digital signs in particular.As part of its agreement with various states pursuant to the Highway Beautification Act (23 U.S.C. §131), for example, it has confirmed that no sign is allowed that imitates or resembles any official traffic sign, and that signs may not be installed in such a manner as to obstruct, or otherwise physically interfere with, an official traffic sign, signal, or device, or to obstruct or physically interfere with the vision of drivers in approaching, merging or intersecting traffic. These provisions may be enforced by the FHWA, but the agreement with the State of California also requires Caltrans to enforce these provisions. The segment of SR-55 adjacent to the project site is not identified by Caltrans as a "classified landscaped segment" nor as a "scenic highway." The existing Billboard 1 is already permitted by Caltrans (Permit No. 26547) under "General Static" display type. For a billboard to be digitized, Caltrans requires that the billboard is at least 1000 feet from another digital display billboard. The closest existing billboard to the project site is a static billboard located approximately 1200 feet south of the project site. Therefore, the proposed Project would meet Caltrans' criteria for freeway adjacent digital display billboards. 18 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis On September 25, 2007, the FHWA issued a Memorandum on the subject of off-premises changeable electronic variable message signs. The Memorandum identified "ranges of acceptability" relating to such signage, as follows: • Duration of message: Duration of display is generally between 4 and 10 seconds; 8 seconds is recommended; • Transition time: Transition between messages is generally between 1 and 4 seconds; 1 to 2 seconds is recommended; • Brightness: The sign brightness should be adjusted to respond to changes in light levels; • Spacing: Spacing between the signs should be not less than the minimum specified for other billboards, or greater if deemed required for safety; and • Locations: Location criteria are the same as for other signage, unless it is determined that specific locations are inappropriate. To minimize the potential for lighting and glare impacts from the proposed Project, the adopted MIND incorporated FHWA's recommended design and operational criteria. City of Tustin Code of Ordinances Article 9, Chapter 4, Section 9402 of the City's Code defines "Freeway adjacent digital display billboard" as "a pole sign or changeable copy sign, which features a digital display, erected and/or maintained for advertising, in whole or in part, a business, activity, service or product not sold or produced on the premises upon which the sign is placed, which is located on a commercially zoned parcel within four hundred (400) feet of either the Interstate 5 freeway or the SR 55 freeway right-of-way." Table 1 outlines the requirements for freeway adjacent digital display billboards per the Tustin City Code Article 9, Chapter 4, Section 9404b(7). As discussed in the table, the proposed digital display billboard Project would meet all conditions stated in the City's municipal code. Table 1.

Required Findings. In approving a freeway adjacent digital The City has determined that the proposed display billboard, the City Council must find that each Project meets conditions a-d. freeway adjacent digital display billboard: a. Complies with the requirements of this subsection 9404b(7) and this Chapter; b. Will not create a traffic or safety hazard; c. Will not create a nuisance to adjacent property; and d. Will not result in any undue or significant increase in visual clutter in the area surrounding the parcel upon which the freeway adjacent digital display billboard will be located. The replacement and relocation of Billboard 1 has already been analyzed in the adopted MIND and there are no substantial changes proposed in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken. Furthermore, there is no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified aesthetic significant effects. Also, there is no new information of substantial importance with respect to aesthetic resources. Therefore, no further analysis of biological resources is required. No further analysis with respect to aesthetics is required under CEQA. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a 20 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis subsequent or supplemental IS/MND or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts exist regarding aesthetics. Applicable Adopted MND Mitigation Measures: MM AES-1: To ensure the lighting of signs does not exceed 0.3 foot-candle at 250 feet, prior to conversion or relocation of any billboard, the City shall require a site-specific lighting study to be submitted during the review of the conditional use permit and design review application.Should the results of the study indicate the maximum intensity of light output produced by a digital display billboard would exceed 0.3 foot-candle at a distance of 250 feet, design modifications shall be incorporated into the billboard design to ensure compliance with this regulation. MM AES-2: Any approved replacement light-emitting diode (LED) billboard shall include an operating mechanism (hardware or software controlled) that turns off the display or turns it to all black in the event of a malfunction or failure in any system or subsystem that results in the display wholly or partly appearing to flash. MM AES-3: The operational lighting parameters for a replacement digital display billboard shall be provided to the City of Tustin Community Development Department for review and approval prior to installation and regular operation of a digital display billboard, during the review of the conditional use permit and design review application, and the City-approved parameters shall be implemented by the Project applicant to minimize trespass glare lighting on residents and drivers. 21 Lighting Study d + P V��� � •�r y`J� JJ V I I 1 AA", '.; HORIZONTAL SPREAD '1�01F LIGHT TRAtSMITTEG f� J x FROM SIGKS r, y :fiORIZONTAL SPREAD OF LIGHT T;*h;q ITTEC- `�.

Environmental Consistency Analysis 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1505 and related IS/MIND, are there any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that cause one or more effects to biological resources, including the following: Yes No a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on ❑ any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans,policies,or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural ❑ community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, ❑ but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption,or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or ❑ wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a ❑ tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural ❑ Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? a —f. No new impact/consistent with the adopted MIND: As stated in the adopted MIND, the Project would not be anticipated to have direct or indirect impacts on special-status plants or wildlife and would not be anticipated to have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications,on any species identified as a candidate,sensitive,or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). No other potential impacts to biological resources were identified in the adopted MIND. The project site is in a heavily developed urbanized area. There is one mature tree located at the site and additional mature trees located on adjacent parcels. The quality of the habitat in the project site has not changed since the adoption of the MIND. The adopted MIND concludes that the upgrade and relocation of Billboard 1 could result in direct impacts on nesting and/or breeding birds if billboard conversion or relocation activities occur during the nesting or breeding bird season and birds are nesting within the billboard parcel and/or the immediate vicinity at that time. However,impacts on nesting birds would be avoided or minimized with the implementation of MM BIO- 24 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis 1. MM BIO-1 states that, if billboard replacement or relocation is scheduled to occur between September 1 and January 31, a qualified biologist shall conduct pre-construction surveys for nesting birds; if active nests are found, the biologist would establish a buffer zone around the nest to ensure that raptor or migratory bird nests would not be disturbed by construction activities. Additionally, the City of Tustin Community Development Department would verify that all Project construction plans include specific notes regarding the Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA). Since the adoption of the MND,there have been no changes of biological significance at the project site. The proposed Project would adhere to all mitigation measures outlined in the adopted MND, including MM BIO-1, to avoid and/or minimize impact to migratory birds. Therefore, there would be no new impact from the proposed billboard conversion Project. The replacement and relocation of Billboard 1 has already been analyzed in the adopted MND and there are no substantial changes proposed in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken. Furthermore, there is no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified biological significant effects. Also, there is no new information of substantial importance with respect to biological resources. Therefore, no further analysis of biological resources is required. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental IS/MND or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts exist regarding biological resources. Applicable Adopted MND Mitigation Measures: MM BIO-1 In the event that billboard replacement or relocation should be scheduled to occur between September 1 and January 31,the billboard owner shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct pre-construction surveys for nesting birds within a 250-foot radius of the existing billboard location to ensure that no active nests will be disturbed during project implementation. This survey shall be completed no more than three days prior to the initiation of replacement or relocation activities during nesting season. During this survey, the biologist will inspect the existing billboard and other possible nesting habitats within 250 feet of the existing or replacement billboard locations for nests. If an active nest is found within the 250-foot survey area, the biologist will determine the extent of a buffer zone to be established around the nest, largely dependent on current site conditions (typically 250 feet), to ensure that raptor or migratory bird nests will not be disturbed during billboard replacement or relocation. Prior to the commencement of construction activities and the issuance of any permits, the City of Tustin Community Development Department shall verify that all project construction plans include specific notes regarding the requirements of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), that preconstruction surveys have been completed and the results reviewed by staff, and that the appropriate buffers (if needed) are noted on the site plans. 25 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis 4.3 GEOLOGY AND SOILS Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1505 and related IS/MND, are there any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that cause one or more effects to geology and soils, including the following: Yes No a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault,as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo ❑ Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42? ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? ❑ iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? ❑ iv) Landslides? ❑ b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? ❑ c) 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 landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 1 8-1-B of the Uniform Building ❑ Code (1994),creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative ❑ waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique ❑ geologic feature? a —f. No new impact/consistent with the adopted MIND: The adopted MIND analyzed impacts to geology and soils, including earthquake faults and seismicity, geology,landslides, liquefaction, loss of topsoil and determined that impacts would be no impact to less than significant impact through compliance with the California Building Standards Code and implementation of mitigation measures,with the exception of unavailable earthquake damage because California is seismically active. Regarding paleontological resources, the adopted MIND states that deep excavations at the project site have the potential to encounter significant vertebrae fossils. MM GEO-1 requires any ground disturbing activities to be monitored by a certified paleontologist who would quickly and professionally recover any fossil remains discovered during construction.With implementation of MM GEO-1,impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant. The proposed project site was analyzed for paleontological resources in the adopted MIND. The proposed Project would be required to follow all applicable measures listed in the adopted MIND. Therefore, there would be no new impact from the proposed Project. 26 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis The replacement and relocation of Billboard 1 has already been analyzed in the adopted MIND and there are no substantial changes proposed in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken. Furthermore,there is no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified geology and soils significant effects.Also,there is no new information of substantial importance with respect to geological resources. Therefore, no further analysis of geology and soil resources is required. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental IS/MND or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts exist regarding geology and soils. Applicable Adopted MIND Mitigation Measures: MM GEO-1 Any ground-disturbing activities associated with project activities shall be monitored closely by a certified paleontologist to quickly and professionally recover any fossil remains discovered while not impeding development. Should any soils be excavated to provide for a digital display billboard support or to assist in relocating Billboard 1 on-site, all removed sediments shall be collected and professionally processed to determine the small fossil potential. Any fossils recovered during mitigation shall be deposited in an accredited and permanent scientific institution for the benefit of current and future generations. 4.4 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1505 and related IS/MND, are there any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that cause one or more effects to hazards and hazardous materials, including the following: Yes No a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine ❑ transport, use,or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably ❑ foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, ❑ substances,or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? d)Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled ❑ pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or,where such a plan has not ❑ been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency ❑ response plan or emergency evacuation plan? g) Expose people or structures,either directly or indirectly,to a significant risk of loss, ❑ injury or death involving wildland fires? 27 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis a —g. No new impact/consistent with the adopted MND: The adopted MND analyzed information related to hazards and hazardous materials including transport of hazardous materials, fire hazards, and emergency response plans. As stated in the adopted MND,the existing Billboard 1 structure may potentially contain asbestos-containing materials and/or lead-based paint. However, the impacts related to asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint would be less than significant through compliance with local and State regulations and with the implementation of MM HAZ-1, which includes measures to reduce potential impacts to construction workers associated with lead-based paint or other hazardous building materials. In addition, Billboard 1 is located within one-quarter mile of a school. Although the billboard removal could result in asbestos or lead based paint waste, construction of a new digital display billboard would not require the use of asbestos or lead based paints. Therefore, the MND concludes that, with implementation of MM HAZ-1 for the removal of materials containing asbestos and/or lead-based paint, impacts would be less than significant. The project site is consistent with the analysis performed in the adopted MND and would follow the requirements of MM HAZ-1 for the removal of the existing billboard. As a result, no new impacts would result from hazards and hazardous materials that were not already analyzed in the MND are anticipated to occur. The replacement and relocation of Billboard 1 has already been analyzed in the adopted MND and there are no substantial changes proposed in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken. Furthermore,there is no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified hazards and hazardous materials significant effects. Also, there is no new information of substantial importance with respect to hazards and hazardous materials. Therefore, no further analysis of hazards and hazardous materials is required. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental IS/MND or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts exist regarding hazards and hazardous materials. Applicable Adopted MND Mitigation Measures: MM HAZ-1 The following measures shall be implemented in the event of any potential billboard relocation activities: In conformance with State and local laws,including California Health and Safety Code Section 19827.5, a visual inspection and possible sampling shall be completed prior to the removal of the billboard structures to determine the presence of asbestos, lead-based paint, or other hazardous building materials. If this assessment finds presence of such materials, the Project applicant shall create and implement a health and safety plan to ensure workers are not exposed to contaminants in excess of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other applicable State and federal standards and associated risks associated with hazardous materials during demolition, renovation of affected structures,transport, and disposal. In the event of billboard removal activities, all materials containing lead-based paint shall be removed in accordance with California Occupational Health and Safety Administration (Cal/OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard, Title 8, California Code of Regulations 1532.1, including employee training, employee air monitoring and dust control. In the event of billboard removal activities, all materials containing asbestos and/or lead- based paint shall be handled and removed by qualified professionals in accordance with 28 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis applicable regulations, including South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Regulation XIV, Rule 1403; Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 66261.24; Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 1532.1. Any debris or soil containing asbestos lead-based paint or coatings shall be disposed of at landfills that meet acceptance criteria for the waste being disposed. 4.5 NOISE Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1505 and related IS/MND, are there any changes in the project, changes in circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and/or "new information of substantial importance" that cause one or more effects to noise, including the following: Yes No a) Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise ❑ levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? ❑ c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use ❑ plan or,where such a plan has not been adopted,within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? a —c. No new impact/consistent with the adopted MIND: The adopted MIND states that conversion and relocation of Billboard 1 would result in temporary increased noise levels from construction activities. The effects of project construction noise levels on longer-term (hourly or daily) ambient noise levels were determined to be but could result in temporary noise leading to levels of annoyance or sleep disturbances at nearby sensitive receptors,if not restricted to daytime hours. However, compliance with the permissible construction hours established by the Tustin City Code would reduce the effects of noise produced by construction activities on longer-term (hourly or daily) ambient noise levels. Furthermore, the adopted MIND also requires the implementation of MM NOI-1, which outlines best management noise reduction techniques and practices. The adopted MIND concludes that, with implementation MM NOI-1, temporary construction noise impacts would be less than significant. The proposed Project would entail the removal of the existing billboard and construction of a digital display billboard on the western corner of the property. The scope of the proposed Project was analyzed in the adopted MIND. Additionally, the proposed Project would be required to comply with Tustin City Code and with MM NOI-1. Therefore, no new noise-related impact is anticipated from the proposed Project. The replacement and relocation of Billboard 1 has already been analyzed in the adopted MIND and there are no substantial changes proposed in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken. Furthermore, there is no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified noise significant effects.Also,there is no new information of substantial importance with respect to noise.Therefore, no further analysis of noise impacts is required. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental IS/MND or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts exist regarding noise. Applicable Adopted MIND Mitigation Measures: 29 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa. Environmental Consistency Analysis MM NOW To reduce potential construction noise impacts,the following multi-part mitigation measure shall be implemented for the Project: The construction contractor shall ensure that all internal combustion engine-driven equipment is equipped with mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. The construction contractor shall locate stationary noise-generating equipment as far as possible from sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a construction Project area. In addition, the Project contractor shall place such stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site. The construction contractor shall prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines. The construction contractor shall,to the maximum extent practical,locate on-site equipment staging areas so as to maximize the distance between construction-related noise sources and noise- sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all Project construction. The construction contractor shall limit all construction activity, including material delivery and equipment warmup or idling, to the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No construction activity will be permitted on Sunday's or City observed federal holidays. 5 CONCLUSION It is not anticipated that the implementation of the proposed Project would result in any significant direct, indirect or cumulative impacts over and above those disclosed in the previously certified City of Tustin Freeway Adjacent Digital Display Billboards Ordinance IS/MND. There are no substantial changes in the Project or in the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken which would require revisions to the adopted MIND or a new environmental document. The project would result in no new impacts and in no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts. Furthermore, there is no new information of substantial importance related to project impacts. Therefore, based on the CEQA 15162 guidelines,the 1021 Edinger Avenue Digital Display Billboard Project in the City of Tustin CEQA analysis is covered by the adopted MIND and no further analysis is required. 30 Edinger Avenue Billboard Conversion Project E P o S�LUT10Ns, iNa.
