.010 Establishment. There shall be established in this Section 4.04.400 a special sign district known as the "Transit Special Sign District." The current designation, location and boundaries of the Transit Special Sign District are shown on the map labeled Phase 1 Transit Special Sign District on file with the Public Works Department of the City of Anaheim. Upon the City of Anaheim's issuance of a demolition permit for the existing ARTIC digital sign located on Katella Avenue at the northeastern corner of the Phase 1 Transit Special Sign District, the designation, location and boundaries of the Transit Special Sign District will become as shown on the map labeled Phase 2 Transit Special Sign District on file with the Public Works Department of the City of Anaheim. The current and future boundaries of the Transit Special Sign District are hereby approved with further particulars contained in the referenced maps.

.020 Purposes and Findings. In addition to the purposes stated in Section18.44.010 (Purpose) of Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of this Code, the following purposes apply to the Transit Special Sign District, which constitute findings that form a basis for these regulations and provide guidance for their application.

(1) The character of signs along Katella Avenue and Douglass Road and those located on bus passenger shelters and on the passenger rail boarding platforms serving ARTIC adjacent to the railroad corridor and throughout ARTIC is especially significant as they relate to the design of the ARTIC building.

(2) Well-placed and visible signs and advertising displays for on-site businesses are essential to the general quality and economic stability of commercial businesses located at ARTIC. Current sign regulations, which are tailored to storefronts typical of the City's commercial districts, do not provide sufficient visibility for businesses located or wishing to locate at ARTIC, having a building height, bulk, appearance and site configuration that differs from that of commercial districts.

(3) Well-placed and visible signs and advertising displays which direct attention to a business, commodity, industry or other activity which is sold, offered or conducted elsewhere than on the premises of ARTIC are necessary to ensure that ARTIC remains a viable transportation center, while revenues generated from advertising displays are essential to support the construction, day-to-day operations, long-term maintenance, preservation and enhancement of ARTIC, including facilities management.

(4) Signs at parking lot entrances to ARTIC would improve the visual identity of ARTIC, while improving access to its parking facilities and minimizing traffic congestion.

(5) The standards established by these regulations are reasonable standards related to the unique nature of ARTIC and to the present and future needs of ARTIC.

(6) The standards established by these regulations are deemed to be minimum requirements, forming a basic framework for development and remodeling of signs at ARTIC. They are not intended in any way to preclude further design refinement or review by the City which might consider more restrictive requirements as to any aspects limited herein, or as to additional aspects such as materials, color, graphics, types of representation, relationship of signs to one another and to architectural features, or to the general quality of design.

(7) It is a purpose of these regulations to promote appropriate and economically viable signage that (i) uses clear, attractive graphics, (ii) coordinates with the architectural elements of ARTIC, (iii) reflects a vibrant, modern image of ARTIC as the transportation center of the City, (iv) eliminates visual clutter by regulating the number, size, and location of signs, (v) minimizes potential traffic hazards and protects public safety, and (vi) protects street views and scenic vistas of ARTIC.

.030 Definitions. The definitions contained in this subsection shall govern the construction, meaning and application of words and phrases used in this Section 4.04.400.

"Advertising display" refers to advertising structures and to signs.

"ARTIC" shall mean the multi-modal transit facility located northeast of State Route 57 ("SR-57"), south of Katella Avenue, and west of the Santa Ana River, currently known and referred to as the "Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center" or "ARTIC", regardless of whether such facility continues to be known by such name or by any other commercial or non- commercial name. Built at public expense and publicly owned and operated, ARTIC opened for rail and bus transit use to members of the general public in December 2014 as a regional gateway station that will strengthen Orange County's transit system by connecting to existing Metrolink and Amtrak passenger rail service and OCTA bus service and will increase in

importance to support future rail service, including the California high-speed train system. The ARTIC building includes commercial space for passenger-oriented retail and restaurants. "ARTIC" shall also mean and include all buildings (including above-ground and below ground portions thereof, and all foundations and supports), building systems and equipment, physical structures (e.g. pedestrian bridges and parking structures), fixtures, hardscape, paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, fences, landscaping, advertising displays, and all other improvements of any type or nature whatsoever now or hereafter made or constructed within the boundaries of the Transit Special Sign District suitable for the operation of ARTIC, including replacement improvements. "ARTIC" shall not include the railroad right-of-way or rail system improvements installed, owned and/or operated, or to be installed, owned and/or operated, by Amtrak, Metrolink, the Orange County Transportation Authority or the California High-Speed Rail Authority, including replacement improvements.

"Director" means either (i) the Director of Public Works of the City of Anaheim or (ii) such other City department head as may be designated by the City Manager from time to time as the person responsible for administering the provisions of this Section 4.04.400 and the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program.

"On-premises advertising display" means any advertising display used exclusively for any of the following purposes:

(1) To advertise directions to, and the sale, lease, or exchange of real property upon which the advertising display is placed, including the lease of commercial space at the ARTIC building.

(2) To designate the name of the owner of ARTIC or occupant(s) of commercial space within the ARTIC building or to identify the premises, such as, for example, designating the site as "ARTIC", provided, however, that this exception does not apply to any change in the identity or name of ARTIC on the ARTIC building or site or any advertising display pursuant to an agreement between the City and a sponsor pursuant to which a sponsor is given naming rights or allowed to place its logo, slogan, or advertising on ARTIC or on any advertising display at ARTIC in consideration for some form of payment.

(3) To advertise the business conducted, services rendered, goods produced or sold, or activities conducted upon the property on which the advertising display is placed.

"Sign" refers to any card, cloth, paper, metal, painted or wooden sign, display or device of any character (including those which may be changed at reasonable intervals by electronic process or by remote control) placed for outdoor advertising purposes on or to the ground or any tree, wall, bush, rock, fence, building, structure or thing, either privately or publicly owned, other than an advertising structure. "Sign" shall not include (a) official notices issued by any court or public body or officer, (b) notices posted by any public officer in performance of a public duty or by any person in giving any legal notice, and (c) signs for control of traffic and other regulatory purposes, directional warning or information signs or structures required by or authorized by law or by federal, state or county authority.

.040 Regulations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Chapter 4.08 (Outdoor Advertising Signs and Structures —Near Freeways) of Title 4 or Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of Title 18 of this Code, all signage within the Transit Special Sign District shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program. All construction shall comply with the provisions of the Building Standards Code, as adopted by the City.

(2) The maximum individual signage area;

(3) Minimum sign separation;

(4) Illumination restrictions and regulations, including signage refresh rate, scrolling, and brightness; and

.0403 No advertising displays shall advertise products, goods, or services related to tobacco, firearms, or sexually explicit material.

specifically approved by the appropriate public authorities under applicable laws and regulations not inconsistent with this Code and under such conditions as may be imposed by such authorities.

.0408 A proposed change in the identity or name of ARTIC on the ARTIC building, ARTIC site or on any advertising display shall be referred by the Director to the City Council for consideration. Any such proposal shall be approved, if at all, by the City Council by resolution. Signs associated with such an approved change in identity or name shall be approved by amendment to the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program.

.0409 The standards and regulations established in the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program and by this Section 4.04.400 are deemed to be minimum requirements.

.050 Administration.

.0501 The Director is authorized to administer the provisions of this Section4.04.400 and the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program.

.0502 Construction of signs within the Transit Special Sign District area may commence only after the Director finds that the construction proposal is in substantial compliance with these regulations and all applicable policies and regulations of the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program and only after any other acts or activities requiring the independent exercise of discretion by the City or any department thereof have occurred, including the issuance of all appropriate permits.

.0503 The Director shall have the primary responsibility for ensuring that all signs remain in conformance with the provisions of this Section 4.04.400, the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program, and section 5272.1 of the California Business and Professions Code.

.0504 Except for those regulations contained in the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program and this Section 4.04.400 that are required under and pursuant to section 5272.1 of the California Business and Professions Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), the Director is authorized to amend or modify from time to time the regulations contained in the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program relating to any advertising display that he or she may deem necessary and advisable, subject to consultation with the City Attorney and the written approval of the City Manager, so long as the Director finds and determines that any such amendment or modification does not violate any other provisions of this Code and shall complement the architecture of ARTIC, provide a unifying element along the streetscape, and be internally consistent in terms of size, scale and style of signs with the scale of ARTIC and the surrounding land uses; provided further that any amendment or modification does not increase the number or height of advertising displays that are regulated by the Outdoor Advertising Act ("OAA, Business and Professions Code, §§ 5200 et seq.) and not subject to exception from the OAA under section 5272 subdivision (a) of the Business and Professions Code ("off-premises advertising display"). The Director shall refer a proposed amendment or modification to the City Council if he or she determines that the general public interest warrants such referral or the proposed amendment or modification would increase the number or height of off-premises advertising displays allowed under the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program. In such instances, the City Council shall consider the recommendation of the Director and, by resolution, determine whether to adopt any such proposed amendment or modification to the Transit Special Sign District Coordinated Sign Program.

.010 Establishment. On September 11, 2018, the City of Anaheim adopted Ordinance No. 6444 establishing the "Arena/Stadium Special Sign District" exempting certain signs located on the premises of an arena or stadium from provisions of the Outdoor Advertising Act ("OAA", Chapter 2 of the California Business and Professions Code, commencing at Section 5200) as authorized by Senate Bill No. 31 (2013 Reg. Sess.). Pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 6444, this Section 4.04.401 provides for a special sign district known as the "Stadium Special Sign District," the designation, location, and boundaries of which are shown on the map of the Stadium Special Sign District on file with the Planning and Building Department of the City of Anaheim, which boundaries are hereby approved and to which map reference is hereby made for further particulars.

.020 Purposes and Findings. In addition to the purposes set forth in Section18.44.010 of this Code, the following purposes apply to the Stadium Special Sign District, which constitute findings that form a basis for these regulations and provide guidance for their application.

(1) Well-placed and visible signs and advertising displays for on-site businesses are beneficial to the general quality and economic stability of commercial businesses located in the Stadium Special Sign District. Current sign regulations, which are tailored to storefronts typical of the City's commercial districts, do not provide sufficient visibility and design opportunities within the Stadium Special Sign District. The City therefore desires to establish a Stadium Coordinated Sign Program for the Stadium Sign District pursuant to which future applications will be reviewed.

(2) Well-placed and visible signs and advertising displays that direct attention to a business, commodity, industry or other activity that is sold, offered or conducted elsewhere than on the premises of businesses within the Stadium Special Sign District are necessary to help ensure that Stadiums remain a viable sports and/or entertainment center. Revenues generated from

Stadium Signs could benefit areas outside of the District in addition to supporting the construction, day-to-day operations, long- term maintenance, capital improvements, preservation and enhancement of businesses within the Stadium Special Sign District, including facilities management. In addition, Stadium Signs may be used at times to provide public information.

(3) The standards established by these regulations are reasonable standards related to the unique nature of the Stadium Special Sign District and the present and future needs of Stadiums in the City.

(4) The standards established by these regulations are essential requirements, forming a basic framework for future signs within the Stadium Special Sign District. They are not intended in any way to mandate any advertising display in the Stadium Special Sign District, or preclude further design refinement or review by the City that might consider more restrictive requirements as to any aspects limited herein, or as to additional aspects such as materials, color, graphics, types of representation, relationship of signs to one another and to architectural features, or to the general quality of design for signs proposed in the Stadium Sign District.

(5) The intent of these regulations is to preserve the City's ability to consider applications that may be submitted for appropriate and economically viable signage that (a) coordinates with architectural elements within the Stadium Special Sign District; (b) reflects a vibrant, contemporary image of the Stadium Special Sign District as a significant sports and/or entertainment center of the City; (c) limits visual clutter by regulating the number, size, and location of signs; and (d) controls potential traffic hazards and protects public safety.

.030 Definitions.
