Description) Finance: Council Notes: KtSD'1 J-{)D(o ~oJH Agenda Item No. / 0 . q II flOG; CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Resolution approving a license agreement regarding off-site electronic message center freeway sign for Arrowhead Credit Union Park and accepting a deed for a parcel of land from Arrowhead Central Credit Union. BACKGROUND: In June of2005, the Mayor and Common Council adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 19.22 of the Development Code and approved Conditional Use Permit No. 04-06 for an off-site electronic message center sign for Arrowhead Credit Union Park. The sign will be installed adjacent to 1-215 at Valley Street, west of the stadium (Exhibit I). The Development Code amendment was necessary in order to allow placement of a sign at that location. Since approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 04-06, Arrowhead Credit Union has modified the sign and has developed a more modern look. The sign has been designed to resemble a jukebox, and the color bands around the sign areas are actually neon lights, which will be most visible at night (Exhibit 2). Although the sign shape has been modified, it is in substantial conformance with the sign approved by the Mayor and Common Council. The middle portion will contain the electronic message center. The bottom portion was previously Tri-Vision (rotating sign copy), but has been replaced with LED lighting signage, a better technology. An advantage of the LED technology is the ability to modify sign content and "brightness" from a remote location, consistent with the Conditions of Approval. The Conditions of Approval also included provisions for wrought iron fencing around the perimeter of the site and the installation of landscaping and irrigation. Arrowhead Credit Union has requested that they be permitted to install artificial turf in lieu of grass. The area is relatively small and artificial turf has improved tremendously in the past few years. In addition, the artificial turf is relatively maintenance free, attractive, and well suited in a situation such as this. The site will still be fenced with wrought iron or tubular steel. Among several other additions to Chapter 19.22, was the addition of Section 19.22.080 (7) (0), which subjected off-site electronic message center signs to a license agreement with the City. This amendment required the license agreement to include, but not be limited to, signage content, "air-time" for public service announcements, and a possible revenue sharing provision. In order to validate a license agreement for this type of sign, the City must have an interest in either the property in which the sign is located or in a parcel adjacent to the property in which the sign is located. If the City has interest in the adjacent parcel to the sign, the City must grant access to the sign owner to the property in which the sign is located. For that reason, Arrowhead Credit Union agreed to convey a parcel of land adjacent to the sign property to the City and that action is covered in this license agreement. As a result, Condition of Approval No.8, requiring that the two parcels be merged, is not applicable. All other Conditions of Approval are included in the license agreement or will be met upon installation of the sign. The attached license agreement provides the following: 1. Convevance of Parcel B to the Citv. As part of this action, the City would grant the sign owner a license to access, enter upon and use Parcel B at any time for the purposes of constructing, inspecting, repairing, or maintaining the Sign (which will be located on Parcel A). 2. Reconvevance of Parcel B. Establishes that within thirty (30) days after the expiration or the termination of the license agreement the City will convey Parcel B back to the current owner of Parcel A. The Agreement requires the then current owner of parcel to remove the sign within 30-days after termination of the license agreement. 3. Commencement Date. The commencement date will be the date in which the City has issued Building Permit(s) for construction of the Sign, ACU has notified City in writing that the Sign has been fully constructed, tested and is ready for immediate commercial use, and when the City has approved final inspection of the construction of the Sign. 4. Term. The Agreement will expire twenty (20) years from the date of the commencement of the license agreement, unless terminated soon as provided in the Agreement. 5. Sign Installation. Sign owner agrees to install the sign and maintain it in good condition for twenty (20) years. If the owner sells the sign, the City agrees that owner may assign and transfer the license agreement to the new owner. 6. Citv Use of Sign. The City will be permitted the right to use the sign three (3) minutes per every hour of airtime on a "use it or lose it" basis for various community-oriented messages, informational announcements, and to promote the overall positive image of the City of San Bernardino. 7. Revenue Sharing. The City will receive revenue from the owner of the sign during the term of the agreement as follows: Years 1-3 4-5 6-15 16-20 Amount $3,000 Annually $4,000 Annually $5,000 Annually $6,000 Annually 8. Sign Content. Owner agrees not to display messages with content advertising adult entertainment, tobacco products or alcoholic beverages, with the exception that owner may advertise events or other functions that are sponsored by companies affiliated with alcoholic beverages. City and owner agree to meet at least once a year in good faith to negotiate and discuss the ban on allowing alcoholic beverage advertisements and content. Once the License Agreement and the deed conveyance have been approved, ACU will proceed with building permits and construction of the sign. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The license agreement provides the City with revenue beginning thirty (30) days after the first anniversary date of the agreement. Beginning in FY 2007/08 revenue to the City will be as follows: Years 1-3 4-5 6-15 16-20 Amount $3,000 Annually $4,000 Annually $5,000 Annually $6,000 Annually The revenue will total $122,000 over the twenty (20) year period. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt Resolution, and; 2. Authorize the City Clerk to accept a deed for a parcel of land from Arrowhead Central Credit Union.
