Resolution No. 2023-18 Page 3 of 9 4. The digital billboard will not cause light and glare to intrude upon residential uses, including those in mixed-use districts or developments. The proposed digital billboard will not cause light and glare that will intrude upon residential uses, including those nearby mixed-use districts or developments. As mentioned, the proposed digital billboard is located in a predominately commercial and industrial area of the city and there are no surrounding residential land uses. Furthermore, the billboard has been designed as a “V” shape billboard so that the light-emitting diode (LED) displays are angled to the freeway and away from other surrounding properties. The light from the billboard will be extensively controlled by both hardware and software elements such as horizontal louvers to prevent light spillage vertically and narrow angle LEDs to prevent light spillage horizontally. Additionally, the LED displays will be able to dim down to 1-percent of total operational brightness while still retaining full color saturation and will adjust to ambient light with gradual increases to daytime brightness and gradual decreases to nighttime brightness. Chapter 4.1: Aesthetics, Threshold (d) of the IS/MND investigated lighting standards for the Potential Billboard Area 5, which was found to be located in an area that matched the commercial character of the surrounding area. The determination was made that compliance with the standard conditions and design parameters in the Billboards Ordinance would preclude impacts to scenic quality, therefore impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation would be required. The proposed digital billboard adequately complies with City Section 41-1133: Lighting and Display Requirements and adheres to California Vehicle Code Section 21466.5 regarding all applicable laws and regulations concerning brightness. 5. The digital billboard will not significantly block or impair views of landmarks identified in the City's General Plan. The proposed digital billboard is not located in any proximate vicinity to landmarks as identified by the Urban Design Element Policy 6.2 of the City’s General Plan and will not in any way block or impair views to landmarks. Chapter 4.1: Aesthetics, Threshold (a) of the IS/MND investigated the adverse effects on a scenic vista for the Potential Billboard Area 5, and made the determination that any future billboards would not substantially obscure views of the Santa Ana Mountains or major landmarks and as a result, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts and no mitigation is required.
