FROM: CHRIS ERIAS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: 500 FAIRWAY DRIVE ELECTRONIC BILLBOARD PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend that the City Council adopt the 500 Fairway Drive Electronic Billboard
Project Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) and approve the agreement between
the City of Galt and Clear Channel Outdoor for the installation and operation of an
electronic billboard.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on June 19, 2018, the City Council authorized staff to enter into a contract
with Terra Realty Advisors (TRA) to prepare and distribute a Request for Proposals
(RFP) for the purposes of selecting a sign company to enter into a lease agreement with
the City to construct and operate a digital billboard at 500 Fairway Drive.
A completed study (Billboard Sign Assessment Attachment 3) showed that the City
could benefit from the installation of a billboard at 500 Fairway Drive. The study
analyzed three sites along Highway 99. The sites along Highway 99 included Twin
Cities, Camellia Way and 500 Fairway Drive (two parcels). The study concluded that
the City owned property at 500 Fairway Drive was a good location for installing a digital
freeway sign.
The 500 Fairway Drive site is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Code for
a billboard. The 500 Fairway Drive property has a “Commercial (C)” designation in the
General Plan and is zoned “Highway Commercial (HC).” The site is thus consistent with
the City’s General Plan and zoning code. Caltrans regulates billboards along State
highways and requires that they be placed on properties zoned for commercial use.
The City’s consultant and staff issued the RFP to a number of sign companies. Three
sign companies responded. See below for responding sign companies and general
terms offered.
Veale Outdoor Advertising
$5,000 per month lease rate or 20% of gross revenue, whichever is greater
$20,000 reimbursement
Mesa Outdoor
$4,000 per month lease rate or 25% of gross revenue, whichever is greater
$25,000 reimbursement
Agenda Report – Electronic Billboard OCTOBER 9, 2019, Page 2 of 6
Clear Channel Out
$9,000 per month lease rate; or $6,000 per month or 25% of gross revenue whichever
is greater
$25,000 reimbursement and $20,000 processing costs
Clear Channel was selected based on the superior value of the monthly lease. Staff,
with support from the consultant, were able to negotiate an increase to $100,000
Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) or 23% of gross revenue whichever is greater. The
guaranteed $100,000 lease rate was the maximum amount presented to Council when
starting the billboard process.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: LEASE AGREEMENT
TRA and staff recently completed the negotiation of the lease agreement with Clear
Channel. A summary of the agreement is listed below. A copy of the agreement is
included in this report as Attachment 1.
• Term: Fifteen (15) Years with tenant option for an additional ten (10) years
• Construction and Maintenance: Clear Channel responsible for the construction
and ongoing maintenance of the sign.
• Rate: $100,000 minimum annual guarantee (MAG) or 23% of gross annual
revenue
• Reimbursements: $25,000 paid within seven (7) days of lease execution,
$20,000 paid after local permits and approvals received by tenant
• Emergency notifications: Without offset the sign is available for emergency
notifications such as Amber alerts and other type notifications
• Other: The City of Galt receives exclusive use of five (5)% of the total advertising
time
• Other: Galt Chamber of Commerce members to receive ten (10)% discount
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ELECTRONIC BILLBOARD
The proposed sign will be located in the City owned parking lot south of Caroline
Avenue and west of Fairway Drive and State Highway 99 in the City of Galt. The site is
comprised of two parcels identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 150-0391-
045 and 150-0391-041. The perimeter of the parking lot is landscaped with various
trees and shrubs. The sign location is proposed at the eastern edge of the project site
within a curbed landscape area, adjacent to Fairway Drive.
The project site is currently designated Commercial (C) per the City’s General Plan and
is zoned Highway Commercial (HC). Surrounding land uses include a Les Schwab Tire
Center to the north across Caroline Avenue, a Burger King to the southeast, single-
family residential uses to the south, and the Galt Sports Complex to the west across
Meladee Lane.
The proposed sign dimensions are as follows:
• 65 feet tall
• Two (2) sign faces each 14 feet x 48 feet = 672 square feet.
Agenda Report – Electronic Billboard OCTOBER 9, 2019, Page 3 of 6
• Display faces configured in a “V” angle
• 200 feet from nearest residence
• 48 foot clearance within the parking lot
• Decorative column cladding
• Sign to contain the City of Galt logo (or Galt Market Logo)
The proposed sign includes dimming software to automatically change the display face
brightness in response ambient light conditions. The dimming software would ensure
the proposed sign is an appropriate brightness relative to current ambient light
conditions. Consistent with the standards established by the Outdoor Advertising
Association of America, Inc. (OAAA), lighting levels would not increase by more than
0.3 foot candles over ambient levels, as measured at a distance of 250 feet from the
proposed sign location. In the event that ten percent or more of one of the digital sign
faces is not operating correctly, or in the event of a malfunction, the entire display would
be turned off until the display can be corrected.
Installation of the proposed sign would require the removal of a single tree within the
eastern edge of the parking lot (Coastal Redwood), as well as existing landscape
vegetation located in the immediate vicinity of the proposed column foundation. The
project would not alter the paved portion of the parking lot. Electricity to the proposed
sign would be provided by Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) by way of an
existing transformer located to the south of the parking lot near the Burger King.
ANALYSIS
Galt Municipal Code (GMC) Section 18.56.120 Electronic billboard regulations and
standards, provides regulations for electronic billboards. GMC Section 18.56.120 (F)
(2) (c) requires that the following findings shall be made by the Planning Commission in
making its recommendation to the City Council and by the City Council in approving any
application for an agreement to construct new, relocate or modify, or expand a billboard
within the HC zone:
FINDING: The proposed agreement is consistent with the goals, objectives, purposes
and provisions of the General Plan, the Galt Municipal Code, and any applicable
specific plans;
DISCUSSION: The project is consistent with the City’s 2030 General Plan; specifically
Policy LU-1.7: Fiscal Balance, which states The City shall designate land for
development consistent with the needs of the community and consistent with its efforts
to maintain a positive fiscal balance for the City. The City directly benefits from leasing
the land to Clear Channel. The direct financial benefit is a minimum of $100,000 per
year, as well as advertising space to allow the City to advertise the Galt Market and
other City events.
The proposed project is also consistent with Policy PFS-8.5: Parks and Recreation
Funding. The City shall continue to explore sources of parks and recreation funding. All
funds received from Clear Channel directly benefit the Parks and Recreation 06 fund.
Agenda Report – Electronic Billboard OCTOBER 9, 2019, Page 4 of 6
In addition, the project is consistent with General Plan Policy PFS-8.6: Galt Market
Revenue, which states that the City shall continue to seek ways to increase revenue
from Galt Market for parks and recreation funding. The property at 500 Fairway Drive is
part of the Galt Market operation providing parking to market customers. As mentioned
previously, revenue generated from leasing the property will increase revenue for parks
and recreation funding and will provide advertising space for the Galt Market.
The proposed electronic billboard is consistent with Galt Municipal Code (GMC)
standards for electronic billboards set forth in the GMC.
GMC Requirements Proposed Sign
65’ Max Height 65’ tall
14 x 48 (672 sf) Max Sign Face 2 sign faces 14 feet x 48 feet = 672 square feet
30’ Minimum Clearance 45’ clearance
200’ from residential 200’ from closest residence
All utilities underground Includes underground utilities
Located in HC Zone 500 Fairway Drive in HC zone
See project details in Attachment 2.
The project site is not located in a Specific Plan area.
FINDING: The proposed installation site is compatible with the uses and structures on
the site and in the surrounding area;
DISCUSSION: The proposed electronic billboard is compatible with surrounding uses
and structures. Other uses in the immediate area are commercial in nature. Nearby
uses include, but are not limited to, Les Swab Tires, Burger King, Giddens Brothers
HVAC, and Scrubs Car Wash. Existing businesses along this section of Fairway Drive
have freeway facing monument/free standing signs in order to advertise to passing
motorists. The electronic billboard would be similar and compatible to the existing sign
structures.
FINDING: The proposed electronic billboard would not create a traffic or safety
problem, including problems associated with on-site access circulation or visibility;
DISCUSSION: The electronic billboard is proposed to be placed in a landscape median
adjacent to Fairway Drive. The placement will not alter any paved area including the
parking lot and street. In addition, the 48 foot clearance exceeds the 30 foot minimum
requirement ensuring that the sign would not be a barrier to vehicles traveling near the
sign. Moreover, the 48 foot clearance ensures that the sign will not provide a visual
barrier thus ensuring a safe line of visibility for those near the sign.
FINDING: The proposed electronic billboard would not interfere with on-site parking or
landscaping required by City ordinance or permit;
DISCUSSION: As discussed previously, the proposed sign location does not include
removal of any paved surface including the parking area. Consequently, there is no
loss of parking. The installation of the sign includes the removal of landscaping which
includes shrubs located on the proposed pad site and the removal of a Coastal
Agenda Report – Electronic Billboard OCTOBER 9, 2019, Page 5 of 6
Redwood in the landscape median. However, the removal of the identified landscape
items does not conflict with City ordinances. The City requires ten percent of parking
areas to be landscaped with living plant cover. The parking lot at 500 Fairway Drive
contains 20%+ landscaping. The loss of the landscaping associated with the proposed
sign is nominal and will not result in less than 10% landscape coverage. In addition, the
City has a one shade tree per four on-site parking space requirement. There are eight
parking spaces near the tree to be removed. There are two deciduous trees providing
shade for the eight parking spaces meeting GMC requirement. Therefore, the removal
of the redwood will not violate City ordinance.
FINDING: The proposed electronic billboard would not otherwise result in a threat to
the general health, safety and welfare of City residents;
DISCUSSION: The revenue generated from leasing the land will provide more funds to
the Parks and Recreation Department. The additional funds can be used to provide
more services to citizens of Galt thereby improving Galt resident’s general welfare. In
addition, adherence to City development standards ensures there are no threats to the
general health, safety and welfare of City residents. For example, the 200’ minimum
distance to residential mitigates any light and glare emanating from the sign. In
addition, a CEQA IS/ND was prepared for the project. It showed that it will not have a
significant effect on the environment.
FINDING: The proposed electronic billboard, in addition to its aesthetic treatment,
provides public benefits that would not otherwise accrue to the public in the absence of
its installation.
DISCUSSION: As mentioned previously, revenue generated from leasing the land will
provide more funding to the Parks and Recreation Department. The additional funds
can be used to provide more services to citizens of Galt. This benefit to the public
would not be available in the absence of the electronic billboard installation.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
Environmental Status
An IS/ND was prepared for this project in accordance with CEQA indicating that the
proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The IS/ND
provides a thorough description and analysis of the potential environmental effects of
the project. The public review period for the proposed IS/ND was from September 6,
2019 and ends October 7, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. As of this writing, the City received one
comment letter from Wilton Rancheria Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. The Wilton
Rancheria requested standard mitigation language that requires a stoppage of all
construction activities if potential tribal cultural resources, archaeological resources,
other cultural resources, articulated, or disarticulated human remains are discovered.
The potential of discovering tribal cultural resources on the site is highly unlikely.
The site is currently developed which included grading and trenching. In addition, since
the site is adjacent to the old State Highway it is likely that there have been other
Agenda Report – Electronic Billboard OCTOBER 9, 2019, Page 6 of 6
construction type activities in the past. Including the language as a mitigation measure
would require a recirculation of the IS/ND.
It should be noted that the comment period is open until October 7, 2019. Any
comments received between this writing, and the date of the Planning Commission
public hearing, will be delivered separately.
A copy of the project IS/ND was delivered to the Planning Commission and the City
Council on September 9, 2019. A copy is also available on the City’s website at
http://www.ci.galt.ca.us/index.aspx?page=783.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is a direct fiscal benefit to the City of at least $100,000 per year to the Parks and
Recreation 06 fund. The Clear Channel agreement includes a minimum annual
guarantee of $100,000.
The cost of the TRA contract associated with the request totals $20,500. As noted
above, the agreement with Clear Channel includes reimbursable cap of $25,000. The
costs associated with the contract are paid from the Parks and Recreation 06 fund.

CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR LEASE AGREEMENT Effective Date XX/XX/2019
1. This Lease Agreement (“Lease”) is effective _______________, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) and entered into
between The City of Galt, a(n) California municipal corporation, (“Landlord” or “City”) and CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”). Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the real estate commonly known
as S.R. 99, west side, 0.24 miles s/o C Street, City of Galt in the County of Sacramento in the State of California (APN
150-0391-045000 and 150-0391-041000) (“Property”) whose legal description is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The
Property is leased for the purpose of erecting, maintaining, operating (whether physically on-premise or via remotely
changeable off-premise technology), improving, supplementing, posting, painting, illuminating, repairing, repositioning
and/or removing outdoor advertising structures (including digital or other technology displays), including, without limitation,
wireless communications equipment, fixture connections, electrical supply and connections, panels, signs, copy and any
equipment and accessories as Tenant may place thereon (collectively, the “Structures”). Provided however, Tenant may
not use the Structures for sublease or rental to telecommunications companies for transmission of wireless
communications. Any wireless telecommunications facilities on the Structures, if at all, must be for Tenant’s use only for
operation of the sign. Tenant shall operate the advertising face on the Structures as digital, but at any time during the
term of the Lease, Tenant is legally prevented from operating the advertising face on the Structures as digital, then Tenant
may elect in its sole discretion to convert and operate said advertising face as printed. The Property is leased to Tenant
for the sole purpose of erecting, maintaining, operating, improving, painting, illuminating, repairing, repositioning and/or
removing, in accordance with the remaining terms and provisions of this Lease (the “Permitted Purposes”), the Structures,
in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto. This Lease includes reasonably necessary rights
of access for ingress, egress, utility maintenance and visibility. Except for the advertising face on the Structures, Tenant
must not install any signs on the Property other than the required safety warnings or any other signs as are requested or
approved by the Landlord, and Tenant bears all costs pertaining to the erection, installation, maintenance and removal of
all such signs.
2. This Lease shall be in effect commencing on the Effective Date for a term (“Term”) that is fifteen (15) years
following the “Rent Commencement Date”, defined as the first day of the month after the date construction is completed
and all requisite governmental and private permits and approvals are obtained for Tenant’s operation of the Structures. If
a governmental or quasi-governmental entity acquires the property, then this Lease shall automatically be extended to the
date which is 30 years from the closing date of said acquisition.
3. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect for its initial term. Provided Tenant is not at the time of exercise
or at the time of the commencement of the option term in default of the Lease beyond any notice and cure period, Tenant
may in its sole discretion exercise the Option to extend the Lease as set forth herein. Tenant may give notice of its
exercise of the Option to extend the Lease for one additional ten (10) year term (“Option Term”). Tenant must give notice
not less than ninety (90) days (and no more than one-hundred twenty (120) days) before the end of any such initial or
subsequent term or Landlord or Tenant gives notice of termination. If Tenant neither gives notice of its exercise of the
Option nor terminates this Lease at the end of the Term, or if neither Party terminates this Lease at the end of the Option
Term, then this Lease shall continue on a month-to-month basis. If the Property transfers pursuant to the terms of an
Offer, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such transfer and provide Tenant with any relevant contact information of
such new owner of the Property. Landlord shall defend and indemnify Tenant from any claims, demands, attorneys’ fees,
costs and expenses made against or incurred by Tenant as a result of the breach of this provision. If ownership of the
Property changes, Landlord shall promptly deliver written notice to Tenant of such change, including an IRS Form W-9 for
the new owner and evidence of the ownership transfer (collectively, “Ownership Transfer Documents”). Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant will be unable to deliver rents to the new owner until Tenant’s receipt of the Ownership
Transfer Documents. Any delay in rent payments as a result of Landlord not delivering the Ownership Transfer
Documents shall not be a default under this Lease nor be subject to any late penalty or interest. Prior to transferring
ownership of the Property, Landlord shall furnish the new owner with a true and correct copy of this Lease.
4. Beginning on the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord rent in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00)
for the period of time prior to the Rent Commencement Date; if any. Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay Landlord rent in the applicable amount and pursuant to the terms set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (“Base
Rent”).
a. Advance Rent Payments. In addition to the Base Rent to be paid under this Lease, Tenant shall make
two advance payments to Landlord (“Advance Rent”) as follows:
(i). Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) shall be paid within seven (7) days of the full
execution of this Lease and receipt thereof by Tenant; and,
82741.00026\31973527. 6
(ii). Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) shall be paid within seven (7) days after Tenant’s
receipt of all local approvals and permits.
In no way or in any instance shall the Advance Rent payments be refunded to Tenant unless the Rent Commencement
Date does not occur or this Lease is terminated within thirty (30) days of the Rent Commencement Date.
b. Landlord, at its sole option, will be entitled to, at any time and from time to time during the Term and
during normal business hours and with prior written notice to Tenant, inspect, examine, copy and audit Tenant's books,
records and cash receipts related to annual net revenue. Tenant must cooperate fully with Landlord and Landlord's
agents in making said examination. Such right may be exercised by Landlord once during each lease year and
once after the expiration date or other termination of this Lease, to cause an independent audit of such records to be
performed by a certified public accountant designated by Landlord, provided such accountant is not paid on a contingency
fee basis. The audit will be conducted during normal business hours at Tenant’s office, unless another location is
mutually agreed upon. If the audit shows that there is a deficiency in the payment of any rent, then Tenant must promptly
upon notice pay the deficiency to Landlord which payment will not require any penalty or other late fee. Landlord will pay
the costs of the audit unless the audit shows that Tenant understated annual net revenue by more than three (3%)
percent in which case Tenant will pay all Landlord's costs of the audit.
c. Late Charge. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent within ten (10) calendar days after the same is
due and payable, such unpaid amount will be subject to a late payment charge equal to five (5%) percent of the unpaid
amount in each instance. The late payment charge has been agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, after negotiation, as
a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs and detriment that Landlord will incur as a result of any such
failure by Tenant, the actual costs thereof being extremely difficult—if not impossible—to determine. The late payment
charge constitutes liquidated damages to compensate Landlord for its damages resulting from such failure to pay, and
Tenant must promptly pay such charge to Landlord together with any unpaid interest.
d. Default Interest. If any Rent is not paid within fifteen (15) calendar days following the due date, such
unpaid amount will bear simple interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum or the maximum permitted by law,
whichever is lower (“Default Rate”) from the due date until paid. However, interest will not be payable on late charges
incurred by Tenant, nor on any amounts on which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent this interest would cause
the total interest to be in excess of that which an individual is lawfully permitted to charge. Payment of interest will not
excuse or cure any default by Tenant. Base Rent, Percentage Rent, Advance Rent, and any other expenses to be paid
by Tenant under this Lease shall be considered additional rent.
e. In-Kind Revenue. At no cost to the Landlord, and as additional consideration for the use and occupancy
of the Property, Tenant shall provide Landlord the exclusive use of up to five percent (5%) of the total advertising time
calculated on a period of every four (4) weeks (“Landlord Usage”). Landlord Usage will be allocated by Tenant, in
Tenant’s reasonable discretion, on a fair and consistent basis with other advertisers during the operating hours of the
Structures. The allocated time shall be distributed proportionally throughout a twenty-four (24) hour period. Subject to
Tenant’s approval which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Landlord may use such time to
promote any purpose that Landlord, in its reasonable discretion determines best serves the needs of the Landlord and
residents, including but not limited to advertising Landlord events and programs, that do not highlight individual
businesses, but promote programs such as job training and workforce development. Landlord will submit “camera ready”
artwork to Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, for display purposes. Landlord agrees that for any Landlord Usage pursuant to
this Section 4.e.: (i) Landlord will provide Tenant with thirty (30) days prior written notice of its desire for Landlord Usage;
(ii) Landlord will provide Tenant with the copy or text of such messages not less than ten (10) business days prior to the
date such messages are to appear on the Structures; and (iii) Landlord Usage shall be limited to messages for the civic
and public purposes described in this Section 4.e. and will not be used directly or indirectly for any types of messaging or
advertising which Tenant would otherwise be able to sell to third parties in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business.
f. Additional Consideration. Tenant shall offer a discount of ten percent (10%) from their published rate
card to all national and regional businesses that are City of Galt Chamber of Commerce members and that are also either
solely located or headquartered in the City of Galt.
g. Emergency Notifications. Without any offset in the Landlord Usage described above and at no cost to the
Landlord and as further consideration for the use and occupancy of Property, Tenant shall make the Structures available
to Caltrans or the California Highway Patrol, as applicable, or the relevant authority, for purposes of “Amber Alerts” and for
emergency or disaster notifications by local, state or federal agencies as necessary as requested by Landlord, which shall
take priority over other messaging as provided in the OAAA standards.
82741.00026\31973527. 6
5. Tenant must apply with the City of Galt for all necessary planning, building and electrical permits for the
Structures (“City Permits”) and any necessary permits with any other applicable jurisdictions, including CalTrans. City will
diligently process Tenant’s applications for all City Permits. This Lease does not commit City of Galt in advance to
approve City Permits; and this Lease does not constrain City’s discretion, acting as a government, with respect to City
Permits specifically or to the Structures generally, and nothing contained herein will be construed to mean that City is
agreeing or has agreed to exercise its discretionary authority in support of any approvals or entitlements that may be
required to construct the Structures. City to issue local City Permits in advance of Caltrans Permit(s). Tenant shall not
commence construction until Caltrans Permit(s) are received. Tenant has the sole right to make any necessary
applications with, and obtain permits from, governmental entities for the construction, use, maintenance, and removal of
the Structures, and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate at no cost to Landlord and hereby grants Tenant a limited power
of attorney solely for this purpose. All such permits shall remain the property of Tenant. From and after the Rent
Commencement Date, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any and all permits required for the
operation of the Structures and shall comply with all applicable laws related to the same. Tenant may elect, but shall have
no obligation, to pursue any zoning matter or to continue to maintain any permit. Tenant is the owner of the Structures
under this Lease and has the right to remove the Structures at any time or within forty-five (45) days following the
termination or expiration of this Lease. Landlord shall provide all reasonably necessary access to Tenant for such
removal. If for any reason not caused by Tenant, the Structures are removed, materially damaged or destroyed, all rent
payments shall cease until the Structures are rebuilt, provided Tenant is reasonably pursuing. If the Structures are
removed for any reason, only the above-ground portions of the Structures need be removed and the area immediately
surrounding the foundation shall be restored, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
6. Landlord and Landlord’s tenants, agents, employees or other persons acting on Landlord’s behalf, shall not place
or maintain any object on the Property or any neighboring property owned or controlled by Landlord which, in Tenant’s
sole and reasonable opinion, would obstruct access to the Property or all or any portion of the view of the advertising copy
on the Structures. If Landlord fails to remove the obstruction within five (5) business days after notice from Tenant,
Tenant may in its sole discretion: (a) remove the obstruction at Landlord’s expense; or (b) reduce the rent to One Hundred
Dollars ($100.00) per year while the obstruction continues. Tenant may trim any trees and vegetation currently on the
Property and on any neighboring property owned or controlled by the Landlord as often as Tenant in its sole and
reasonable discretion deems appropriate to prevent obstructions. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not permit
any neighboring property owned or controlled by Landlord to be used for off-premise advertising.
7. Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subject to all present building restrictions, regulations, zoning laws,
ordinances, resolutions and orders of any local, state or federal agency, now or hereafter having jurisdiction over the
Property or the Tenant’s use of the Property or the operation of the Structures, unless the Structures are altered in a
manner not allowed under this Lease and its permits or the Structures are destroyed and rebuilt in which case future
building restrictions, regulations, and zoning laws would apply. Tenant must at all times use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to minimize any impact that its use of the Property will have on other uses of the Property. Tenant may not
remove, damage, or alter in any way any improvements or property of the Landlord upon the Property, whether currently
existing or installed in the future, without the Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant must repair any damage or
alteration to the Property to the same condition that existed before the damage or alteration. Tenant has non-exclusive
right for ingress and egress, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, for the construction, installation and maintenance of the
Structures, which right will be exercised so as to not unreasonably interfere with Landlord operations or use of the
Property. Landlord may, at all times, enter upon the Property for any lawful purpose, provided the action does not
unreasonably interfere with the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Property. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Landlord and any furnisher of utilities and other services may, at their own cost: (a) enter upon the
Property at any time to make repairs, replacements or alterations that, in the opinion of the Landlord or the furnisher of
utilities and other services, may be necessary or advisable and from time to time to construct or install over, in, or under
the Property systems or parts,; and (b) in connection with any maintenance, use the Property for access to other parts in
and around the Property, provided that in the exercise of these rights of access, repairs, alterations or new construction,
the Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with the use and occupancy of the Property by the Tenant. The exercise of
any of the foregoing rights by the Landlord or others does not constitute a termination of the Lease, nor serve as the
grounds for any abatement of Rent, or any claim for damages.
8. Lighting Standards. Tenant shall comply with the standards as adopted by the Outdoor Advertising Association of
America, Inc. (“OAAA”), including but not limited to, the 0.3 foot- candles limitation over ambient light levels at 250 feet,
and ensuring additional flexibility in reducing such maximum light level standard given the lighting environment, the
obligation to have automatic dimming capabilities, as well as providing the City’s Planning Manager or designee with a
designated Tenant employee’s phone number and/or email address for emergencies or complaints that will be monitored

immediately upon the conclusion of any such measurement that concluding that the light standards were exceeded. In
the event ten (10%) percent or more of the digital sign face is not operating correctly or in the event of a malfunction,
Tenant shall immediately turn the entire display off, or show a one hundred (100%) percent black image on the display
until corrected
9. In operating the Structures, Tenant shall conform to all valid and applicable laws and regulations, including laws
and regulations pertaining to outdoor advertising. Tenant shall not display any message that in the reasonable judgment
of the Landlord: (a) is false, misleading, or deceptive; (b) promotes the sale or use of tobacco products, or marijuana; (c)
depicts violence or relates to illegal activity; (d) contains “obscene matter,” as that term is defined in local, California or
federal law, including but not limited to any statements or words of an obscene, indecent or immoral character, or any
picture or illustration of any human figure in such detail as to offend reasonable community standards; (e) contains any
“political advertising,” which means advertising that promotes or opposes any candidate for public office or promotes or
opposes a ballot measure, referendum, bond issue, or any federal, state or local legislation, regulation, or other
discretionary action; (f) contains language that presents a clear-and-present danger of causing riot, disorder, or other
imminent threat to public safety, peace, or order; (g) promotes any product, service or activity that is illegal under federal,
state, or local law; or (h) promotes adult entertainment (all the foregoing, “Restricted Advertising”). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Tenant inadvertently places any Restricted Advertising on the Structures,
Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such
Restricted Advertising within twenty-four (24) hours of such notice.

Property, the Structures, or any improvements thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use, handle, store,
transport, treat, generate, release or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in such limited amounts as are customarily used
to renovate, operate, maintain, repair, improve, or remove the Structures in accordance with this Lease, and so long as
Tenant is at all times in full compliance with all applicable environmental laws. Tenant must cause any and all Hazardous
Materials brought onto, used, generated, handled, treated, stored, released or discharged by Tenant or its authorized
representatives on or under the Structures, the Property, or any improvements thereon to be removed therefrom and

to enter the Property, or any improvements thereon, from time to time to conduct tests, inspections and surveys
concerning Hazardous Materials and to monitor Tenant’s compliance with its obligations concerning Hazardous Materials
and Hazard Materials Laws (the City agrees that all such testing, inspections, surveys and monitoring will be at the City’s
expense unless the results of such testing, inspections, surveys or monitoring demonstrate that, with respect to Tenant’s
use, handling, storage, transportation, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or
about the Property, the Structures, or any improvements thereon, Tenant has violated its obligations contained in this
Lease or any federal, state or municipal law or regulation applicable thereto). Tenant must promptly notify City in writing

event within five (5) business days after Tenant receives or sends same, copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices,

improvements thereon or Tenant’s use thereof and concerning Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Laws. In the
event Tenant institutes a cleanup or removal action, Tenant must provide copies of all work plans and subsequent reports
submitted to the governmental agency with jurisdiction to City in a timely manner. Tenant must indemnify and defend City
any third party claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, costs or expenses

the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, about, or emanating from the Structures, the Property, or any
improvements thereon, due to the acts of Tenant or its authorized representatives in accordance with this Lease. The
term "Hazardous Materials" as used in this Lease includes any hazardous, toxic, contaminated or polluting substance,
material or waste which is regulated by any local governmental authority or special district, the State of California or the
United States Government, including any material, contaminant, pollutant, or substance which is: (i) designated as a

(h) the Structures’ use is prevented or restricted by law, or Tenant is compelled or required by any governmental entity to
reduce the number of billboards operated by it in the city, county or state in which the Structures are located; then Tenant
may immediately at its option either: (i) reduce rent in direct proportion to the loss suffered for so long as such loss
continues; or (ii) cancel this Lease and receive all pre-paid rent for any unexpired term of this Lease.
12. If the Structures or the Property, or any part thereof, is condemned by proper authorities; taken without the
exercise of eminent domain, whether permanently or temporarily; or any right-of-way from which the Structures are visible
is relocated, Tenant shall have the right to relocate the Structures on Landlord’s remaining adjacent property or to
terminate this Lease upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice and to receive all pre-paid rent for any unexpired term of
this Lease (but not the Advance Payments). Tenant shall be entitled to all compensation and other remedies provided by
law, including, without limitation, just compensation for the taking of the Structures, value of permits, if any, and Tenant’s
leasehold interest in this Lease, and/or relocation assistance. Landlord shall assert no rights in Tenant’s interests so long

shall include Tenant as a party thereto. No right of termination set forth anywhere in this Lease may be exercised prior to
the sale to any entity with the power of eminent domain or by or for the benefit of any entity with the power of eminent
domain. Neither party may apportion the other party’s awarded interest without the express written consent of said party.
13. Landlord represents that it is the owner of the Property, and both Landlord and Tenant represent to the other
Party that it has the authority to enter into this Lease. Each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant
warrants and represents that Tenant is a duly organized and validly existing entity and that the persons signing on behalf
of Tenant are authorized to do so and have the power to bind Tenant to this Lease. Either Party shall provide, if
requested by the other Party, from time to time during the Term upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice
from the other Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party, or such persons or entities designated by such
other Party, a statement in writing certifying: (a) the Effective Date and expiration date of this Lease as well as the
operational date of the Structures,; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications),; (c) that there are no
defaults under this Lease (or if so, specifying the same),; (d) the dates, if any, the Base Rent has been paid,; and (e) any
other information that may be reasonably required by any such persons or entities. Any such certificate delivered pursuant
to the provisions hereof may be relied upon by the other Party or any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of its
estate. The City Manager will be authorized to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate on behalf of
Landlord.
82741.00026\31973527. 6

encumbrance, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date a non-disturbance agreement in a
form reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

(b) the use, occupation, maintenance of the Structure(s), or any work or activity in or about the Property by Tenant or its

Tenant has indemnified them, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, will defend the same at Tenant’s expense with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any
Claims which arise or are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors,
employees, customers, invitees, tenants or licensees. This indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Neither Party is liable to the other, or any of their respective agents, representatives, employees
for any lost revenue, lost profits, loss of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive, indirect, special or
consequential damages, loss of data (except as provided herein), or interruption or loss of use of service (except as

REPORT – Billboard Sign Assessment
To: Chris Erias
City of Galt
From: Scott Sheldon

Date: 23 May 2018
Re: Billboard Sign Location Evaluation
City of Galt Lands
Chris, per our discussion and agreement, the following is our assessment of the three
properties owned and/or controlled by the City of Galt located adjacent to SR 99. We
have obtained preliminary title information on each site, including assessor parcel maps,
evaluated each site within the constraints of Caltrans regulations for general advertising
permits along state controlled rights of way including: existing sign spacing, distance from
a commercial business, and designated landscape freeway impacts. We also reviewed
the City’s zoning and general plan maps and ordinance regulating such signs. In
addition, I personally visited each site, evaluating them for the potential to support a new
sign, including photographing and videos of each (videos are not included as part of this
report, however we can review when we meet).
There are currently two sign companies with Caltrans permits operating within the city
limits: Rogers Media Company & Outfront Media. The Rogers sign is non-conforming,
the Outfront signs are active and compliant, per Caltrans reporting. In the surrounding
San Joaquin, Sacramento County area, Clear Channel Outdoor and Marquee Sign
Company also operate billboard signs. We have included the Caltrans Freeway ADT
counts on SR 99 which indicates approximately 75,000- 78,000 vehicles/day. The value
of billboard signs is generally reflective of the traffic count and speed of the autos.
Site No. 1 – Twin Cities Road (104):
This site is located at the northern portion of the City, with a General Plan designation of
Commercial, and Zoning of Highway Commercial. The property is currently vacant land
with overhead utility lines crossing a portion of the land. It is not located in a designated
450 Chadbourne Road Suite G • Fairfield, CA 94534 • phone 707.639.1000 • fax 707.312.5200 • www.terraadvisors.net

Landscape Freeway, however this property is located at an at grade overcrossing, with
the freeway routed below the Stockton Street grade which impacts visibility SB on SR
99. There are also many trees on the Caltrans ROW which block visibility to the site both
NB & SB. Due to the lack of visibility SB, and limited view lines NB on SR 99, we do not
believe this is a viable site for a billboard sign: static or digital.
Site No. 2 – Camellia Way
This site is located north of a major off-ramp and double overcrossing in the central part
of the City, with a General Plan designation of Commercial, and Zoning of Highway
Commercial. The site is currently being used as a construction staging area, but is
overwise vacant land. It is partially located in a designated Landscape Freeway, however
there is an at grade double overcrossing with the freeway routed underneath which
impacts visibility NB on SR 99. Due to the lack of visibility NB on SR 99, as well as the
property location and SB off-ramp configuration, we do not believe this is a viable site for
a digital billboard sign. There may be interest in a single face static sign at this location
from a sign company.
Site No. 3 & 4 – Fairway Drive
This site is located south of a major on-ramp and double overcrossing in the central part
of the City, with a General Plan designation of Public Quasi-Public, and Zoning of Public
Quasi-Public. The site is currently utilized as a parking lot for the park land directly west
of the property. It is adjacent to commercial businesses, but also adjoins a residential
area. It is not located in a designated Landscape Freeway, however there is an at grade
overcrossing with the bypass routed underneath which has a partial impact on the SB
sightlines along SR 99. We believe there may be interest from sign companies in
constructing and operating either a static or digital two face sign at this location.
Assessment - Recommendations:
Site 3 & 4 has the potential to attract a sign company, however the City will need to
change their general plan and zoning designation to a commercial land use, which is the
adjoining property designations to the north and south of the site, in order to obtain a
State Permit for a sign. In addition, digital LED signs have lighting impacts, with the
placement and position of any sign to be addressed relative the adjoining single family
residential homes. We have provided an exhibit which indicates a possible sign location
approximately 250’ from the closest home. Lighting studies used by Caltrans and sign
companies typically call for this 250’ distance to not have a negative impact on residential
developments, however we have entitled digital signs with only 180’ of distance. During
our field visit, we filmed the NB & SB approach on SR 99, and even with the double
overcrossing there is still good visibility SB.

As a point of reference, static signs in this area should generate revenue in the $35 -
$50,000 per year range. If a larger sign company that constructs and operates digital
signs is interested, revenue should be in the $100,000 per year range.
Next steps:
• With this information, ascertain City interest in creating a new revenue source.
• Initiate process to change the general plan & zoning to be compliant with Caltrans
regulations.
• Modify the scope of the City’s design guidelines and ordinance to allow freeway
oriented general advertising signs.
• As signs can also be used as a “branding” tool for a city, create a design that
accomplishes this in addition to the potential revenue from general advertising.
• Prepare and distribute a RFP to all sign companies, to solicit proposals to
construct and operate a new sign.
We are available to meet with you and staff to discuss this in greater detail.
Thank you.
