This amendment was relative to the settlement of a lawsuit between Outfront Media
(formerly CBS Outdoor) regarding an existing static billboard sign located along the
State Highway 114 right-of-way to the east of the existing Sam's Club. Although this
sign was a nonconforming structure and continues to remain so, as part of the
settlement of the lawsuit, staff was directed by Council to amend the appropriate
sections of the zoning ordinance to allow conversion of the existing static billboard sign
to a digital billboard 60 feet in height with cabinet dimensions of 14 feet by 48 feet (672
square feet). Specifically, Section 43 was amended to allow, because of right-of-way
acquisition, the alteration of an off -premise advertising sign (billboard sign) fronting on
State Highway 114, only through approval of a conditional use permit from the City
Council.
r
Section 60, Sign Standards was amended to provide a narrowly defined set of criteria to
regulate the use of the converted digital billboard sign which will only be applicable to
the Outfront sign on State Highway 114. Key specific criteria based on peer ordinances
and industry standards includes:
• The existing legal, nonconforming sign fronts on State Highway 114
• Right -of -acquisition necessitates the alteration of the sign
• The City Council approves the conversion with a conditional use permit
