The list of recommendations is attached. We will discuss these more fully at our January 29 meeting and the Commission will provide recommendations to staff on drafting digital sign code language in preparation for a formal public hearing. I will also prepare a more detailed summary of the digital sign issue that reflects conversations we've had to date on this topic, and that addresses the staff's recommendations. The Commission will complete discussion of digital signs on January 29 and also take up the topic of billboards to provide direction to staff on this issue as well. In preparation for that discussion, I have prepared the following sump ary report on billboards, with tentative recommendations on billboard regulation. Differentiating Billboards from On -Premise Signs The purpose of on-site signage is to identify the business or services available at the site on which the sign is located. On -premise signage is an essential and crucial component of local business. Billboards are different from on -premise signs in that billboards do not promote products or services available at the site on which they are located. Their primary purpose is to generate revenue by selling adverting space to off-site businesses, corporations, organizations and other entities. While billboards do advertise some local businesses, the majority of entities that advertise on billboards are located out of the city, out of the region and even out of the state or country. Moreover, the revenue generated by billboard ads likewise goes primarily to non - local corporations that own the billboards. Specifically, the revenue from billboards in Washington and/or Yakima go to Clear Channel, based in San Antonio, Texas; Lamar Advertising, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; CBS Outdoor Advertising, based in New York, New York; Metro Outdoor, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Costs to Local Government: Billboards have been found to produce adverse impacts and costs at the local level, which are summarized as follows: 1. Reduced Property Values: A study conducted in Philadelphia in 2011 found that properties located within 500 feet of a billboard have a decreased real estate value of Vinkima lIU (50) 57,5 61,2 • 11anning X509) 575-618, 1 � �� �s�:r�° �������w��m�� w���a���° �a��s�� I� ;���,r� Il �a��������m^��� '��� w,��:� � (509) 5-1610� �� $30,826. Homes located further than 500 feet but within a census tract/community where billboards are present experience a decrease of $947 for every billboard in that census tract'. 2. 'Negative Socio-economic Indicators. The above -referenced study focused also on 20 major US cities, including those with non -strict billboard controls, and those with strict billboard controls, finding that (1) The median income for strict control cities is higher than that for non -strict cities; (2) The mean poverty rate for cities with stricter sign control is lower than for cities without strict sign controls; and (3) The mean home vacancy rate is lower fog• strict sign control cities.2 The presence of billboards is often an indicator of, or associated with, neighborhood instability, and that may reflect on Yakima, where over 90% of existing billboards are located in neighborhoods east of 16th Avenue. 3. No Tax Revenue to Local Government. In Washington State, billboards are considered personal property for tax purposes, so placing a billboard on property is no different than parking a car or other personal item on a piece of property. Like other forms of personal property, billboards generate no revenue to local coffers except as they promote local tax paying businesses. In Yakima, only 25% of billboard ads are for local tax -paying businesses, and only 12% of those are retail oriented. Under WAC 458-20-204, billboards are considered "outdoor advertising", which is subject to B & O taxes on the gross income from the advertising services, but none of that revenue comes back to the local jurisdiction. Moreover, advertisers are not required to collect retail sales tax, except for any actual product purchased locally to manufacture the sign. Most sign components are manufactured elsewhere. 4. Minimal Return to local Economy. Unlike on -premise signage that identifies a local business, only 25% of billboard ads in Yakima promote businesses located within city limits. The balance of ad content included: a. 27% of ads for non -local corporations, such as Anheuser Busch, Budweiser, MillerCoors, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Verizon, etc. b. 25% of ads dedicated to alcohol and/or gambling. Most gambling ads were for casinos in Toppenish. (Toppenish bans billboards in its own community). c. The balance of ads were public awareness ads, likely provided pro bono by the industry to fill billboards for which there was no demand for paying advertisers. 5. Liti yati n. The likelihood of litigation against the city increases in relation to both the number of billboards within a city and the city's efforts to regulate billboards or to develop around existing billboards. The industry has filed lawsuits against the city of Seattle in 1980, 1997, and 2002, and against the City of Tacoma in 1997, 2007, and 2011. Lawsuits were largely based upon efforts to remove existing billboards and efforts to ban digital billboards. Outside of Washington State, an example comes from Los Angeles, 1 Jonathan Snyder, Beyond Aesthetics: How Billboards Affect Economic Prosperity, December 2011, Funded by the Samuel S. Fels Fund. 2 Ibid. 2 where CBS Outdoor sued the city for 2.3 million dollars over the loss of two billboards on a building demolished twelve years ago to make way for the Hollywood & Highland entertainment and shopping complex. Another example comes from Salt Lake City, where Reagan Sign Company filed a 1 million dollar lawsuit against the city claiming that the parking lot lights of a new hotel blocked visibility of one of Reagan's billboards. That comes even after the City required the relocation of the hotels sign to avoid blocking the billboards. 6. Required Compensation to Industry. Any billboard that may require removal to make way for new development can cost a city millions of dollars. A recent example comes from the City of Minneapolis, where the Minnesota DOT required removal of a digital billboard to facilitate a planned bridge project over the Mississippi River into St. Paul. The cost to have the billboard removed was 4.3 million dollars including the value of the structure, even though the same billboard structure was simply relocated to a site a short distance away. The industry charged not only the value of the billboard structure, but also projected lost revenue. Other costs to Minnesota included the cost of 3 million dollars to remove 4 conventional billboards ($750,000 each), for a total of $7.321 million dollars paid to Clear Channel from Minnesota's highway construction budget. These billboards were along State highways, but the same situation could affect road projects at the local level. 7. Inhibition on City Renewal Pro'ects. Under the Highway Beautification Act, billboard operators are permitted to come onto the public highway right of way and clear-cut public trees to improve the visibility of their billboards. That could affect the City of Yakima's ability to enhance its entrance corridors. An example of this comes from Florida. In an effort to beautify a stretch of State Road 84, sabal palm trees were planted along the swales and median. This angered Clear Channel Communications Inc. which filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Transportation, stating that the organization that planted the trees would have to move 18 of the trees or see them destroyed. The trees were removed. Billboard Regulations in Washington State With revenues to local government low and potential costs high, 91 percent of Washington cities surveyed have chosen to ban installation of additional billboards within their jurisdictions. Cities surveyed are included in the attached spreadsheet, which includes 16 eastern Washington cities, and 31 western Washington cities. Regulatory approaches included outright bans on new billboards, outright bans on any form of off -premise signs, and allowance for new billboards only in exchange for removal of existing billboards. A few cities that yet allow some form of billboards have so restricted their size and location as to effectively ban them, such as Wenatchee, which limits billboards to 60 square feet at 30 feet tall, or 100 square feet at 8 feet tall. The only cities in the survey that still effectively allow billboards are Ellensburg, Grandview, Port Angels and Yakima. Among those cities, Grandview is the least restrictive (relying solely upon compliance with the building code) followed by Yakima that is less 3 restrictive than Ellensburg and Port Angeles in terms of the permitting process, allowed locations, and spacing between billboards (Yakima's spacing is 500 feet minimum compared to 1,000 foot minimum in Ellensburg and Port Angeles). Billboard bans are currently supported by State level bans on digital signs along State highways and scenic byways. However, in response to local prohibitions, the billboard industry is focusing on the State legislature to lift the State ban so it can focus its efforts on local government. Legislation to this effect was introduced in both 2012 and 2013 under HB 1408 & SB 5304. The proposal failed in both years, but the same bills have been introduced this year, with no opportunity for public comment. If the legislation passes, it will remove the State's shield of protection, leaving local governments that choose to regulate or ban billboards along highways vulnerable to industry lawsuits. This should alarm local government because the propensity for lawsuits is high as evidenced by industry suits against Seattle, Tacoma, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and other jurisdictions choosing to limit billboards. The cost of fighting such litigation is beyond most cities' ability to pay and most simply give in. Most of these lawsuits were the result of trying to remove, regulate or develop around existing billboards. Potential for Proliferation. As stated above, Yakima's spacing allowances for billboards is less restrictive than all but one of the cities surveyed. When staff presented a map of Yakima's 500 -foot spacing allowance at the December 11 workshop, it was asserted by those in the industry that such spacing could not occur because they couldn't sell enough ads to justify that amount of signage. An example from Rapid City, South Dakota demonstrates how this has occurred in other locations. With a population of approximately 70,000 (one third smaller than Yakima), Rapid City has 400 billboards throughout the city, and significantly more in the surrounding area. One industry alone has 204 signs in the area and many of these are clustered in short segments of highways. (See attached inventory for Epic Outdoor Advertising). For example, along I-90 at milepost 50, Epic has documented 12 signs within that one mile stretch. It should be noted that minimally spaced billboards have already been installed along the western side of No. 1St Street in Yakima. It was suggested that this could not occur on the east side of No. 1St because of existing structures. That itself is not a limiting factor. Sign structures take only a few square feet of land and they are designed to conform to any needed configuration, including off -set faces and dogleg posts that allow projection over roof tops and maneuvering in tight spaces. rd Derelict Conditions of Yakima's Billboards. There are growing numbers of billboards in Yakima that are derelict and intermittently abandoned. This is particularly evident on North 1St Street, where a number of high profile billboards characterize this entry corridor with tattered canvas and multiple layers of old peeling copy. These remain in this condition for extended periods of time until new copy is installed on an inexpensive thin canvas that is usually torn apart with the next major windstorm. They then hang in shreds that get wrapped around the sign structure or abutting fences and structures. These are typically public service or crime stopper ads that are likely installed pro bono as an interim means of using the sign structures. This problem was brought to the attention of CBS Outdoor Representative Rob LaGrone during a PowerPoint presentation to the Council back in October 2013. Mr. LaGrone stated that the industry has representatives that regularly visit the area to correct such conditions, and he then had the problems identified in the October presentation corrected. However, in a short period of time, the signs went back to their tattered condition, leaving the City with the burden of having to chase these down as an enforcement action. This then becomes one more challenge in the city's efforts to clean up North 1St Street. The signs create the appearance that neither the city nor property owners in this location care about the conditions of this corridor, and other problems related to this area such as prostitution and drugs continue. This is the classic "broken windows" syndrome identified by Bill Cook during a recent Planning Commission discussion of this topic. The broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm -setting and signaling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti -social behavior. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments in a well -ordered condition may stop further vandalism and escalate into more serious crime. 5 Staff Tentative Recommendation on Billboards Considering the potential costs and development impediments billboard bring to the local level, staff recommends the following: 1. Adopt a specific definition of billboards as follows: "Billboard" means any sign face, the primary purpose of which is to lease, rent, let or otherwise allow sign space for a fee or other form of compensation to the underlying property owner or tenant, and to the sign face owner. Billboards primarily advertise, identify or promote off -premise businesses, products, services, organizations and entities. Billboards may occasionally provide ad space on a pro bono basis, and may, on a paid basis to the property owner or tenant, advertise products or services that are minimally and/or coincidentally available on the site. 2. Prohibit installation of any new billboards city-wide. 3. Allow existing legally installed billboards to be retained as legal non -conforming structures in all areas of the city, except along North 1St Street to within 660 feet of the highway interchange. 4. Create a sign overlay district along North 1St Street. All billboards within the North 1St Street overlay except those lying within 660 feet of the highway interchange (the area subject to the Highway Beautification Act) shall be removed after an amortization period of five years. The amortization period shall begin upon notice to the property owner. C Digital Signs Staff s Tentative Recommendations (January 22, 2014) Limit digital signs to: a. A defined brightness level that most closely resembles brightness of non -digital illuminated signs. (Demonstration may help determine this) b. Completely static except for timed message change c. Message change to occur through quick fade rather than instantaneous appear mode. d. One digital sign per premise e. 33 square feet max. size f. More intense commercial & industrial zones only. In less intense zones (i.e. B-1, SCC) and residential zones, limit digital to monochrome display with dark background. g. Along No. 1St Street, allow digital in lieu of outdoor temporary signs. 7 Billboard / Digital Sign - Regulations in Washington Cities FOR THE Billboards I Prohibit Off- Allow New i I Allow Digital 1 Allowed Prohibit New premise Signs Billboards Only Prohibit Digital Digital Design Restrictions Only with Eliminate Existing City / Jurisdiction with Size/ Location Billboards (including with Relocation I Billboards / Signs Reduction Billboards By Restrictions billboards) Permit Provision Amortization Ellensburg € ✓ TC zone only, CUP One digital sign per frontage, required, 288 sq.ft. 3 sq.ft. max, 64 sq.ft, max.

Ordinance Becomes Effective 30 Days After Publication 04/20/2014 City of Yakima Planning Commission Dear Planning Commission, FG u_e ,( / rq 1_ INTERNATIONAL SIGN ASSOCIATION On behalf of the International Sign Association (ISA) and the Northwest Sign Council (NWSC), I would like to submit our organization's comments with regard to Introductory Discussion of billboards and digital signs. The International Sign Association (ISA) is a 2000 -member trade association, the members of which are manufacturers, users and suppliers of on -premise signs and other visual communications products from the 50 United States and 60 countries around the world. ISA supports, promotes and improves the visual communications industry, which sustains the nation's retail, distribution, service and manufacturing industries. ISA and the NWSC work actively with officials throughout the northwest to assist jurisdictions to create reasonable and effective sign regulations. These recommendations are essentially the same as the ones submitted to the Commission that are dated December 10, 2013, with some additional clarifications. As a result of the electronic message center demonstration last week we are recommending that the City adopt the industry recommended illumination standard foot candle approach. The demonstration revealed that the adjacent existing sign had illumination levels that were over 500 NITS while the electronic message center had NITs levels that were under 250. This is when the EMC sign was illuminated at levels that complies with the .3 foot-candle standard. Kitsap County has now proposed the foot-candle approach in draft language that formulated by a stakeholder group. MaintaM se orate and distinct re lationserr onrernfse and o -rern se sr' xls. The current sign code for Yakima has distinct and separate regulations for on premise and off premise signs. We strongly recommend that all of the regulations for on -premise and off -premise signs be maintained as entirely separate sections of the sign ordinance. This will ensure correct administration of these sections and minimize any confusion of the regulations for on -premise and off -premise signs. These recommendations are in response to the Staff's Tentative Recommendations dated January 22, 2014 and included in your packet for the January 29, 2014 meeting. The letters for these recommendations corresponds with the letters from the staff's recommendations. Note that we include one additional recommendation g.. This section recommends requiring automatic dimming. INTERNATIONAL SIGN ASSOCIATION • a a r * • • a « ,r� c. The transition time for fade in and out shall not exceed 1 second. d.

Thank you for your time and consideration to the ISA recommendations to the proposed regulations. ISA would be happy to offer any additional assistance in understanding issues involved in the regulation of on -premise signs.

The preponderance of the 18 page Memorandum is devoted to painting a negative image of the billboard media and the outdoor advertising industry. Making on -premise digital signs a part of the outdoor advertising issue, by association imparts a negative image of on -premise digital signage. Mr. Osguthorpe agrees on -premise signage is essential and critical to Yakima businesses identity. But on - premise signs are not limited to just business identity. Signs are tools of marketing and are described by the US Small Business Administration as advertising. "Signs are the most effective, yet least expensive, form of advertising for the small business. "Signs are always on the job for you, advertising 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. htt : www.sba. ov content wh -do-i-need-sign] business Digital signage is computer age technology that is utilized by business that sell goods and services, education and religious institutions, transportation and public venues such as sporting events. No other medium makes it possible to deliver compelling content at the right location at the right time for maximum impact. The beneficiaries of reasonable regulation that doesn't diminish the effectiveness of this new advertising technology are the businesses in Yakima. Sign makers in Yakima supply this innovative technology to our sign products for the benefit of Yakima businesses. My review of the Staff's Tentative Recommendations and recommendations follow: Plannini Staff RecornmendatLon a. Trying to match EMC brightness to a metric that "resembles brightness" of a non -digital sign is not a workable approach because of the uniqueness of each sign type. Luminance levels taken of the EMC demonstrated at the Jan 15 workshop, and the near -by non -digital sign, showed it was significantly brighter than the EMC. Luminance of non -digital signs is governed by size, shape, illumination, background color of face and sign type, e.g. channel letters. There is no uniformity as has been demonstrated by field tests conducted by the sign industry and lighting professionals. hjt www�arli g nva�.0 d artrq nts lannin studies �f My recommendation is to correlate night time luminance for digital on —premise signs with the zone: Commercial/Industrial 500 cd/ml, B-1; SCC 300 cd/ml. Require automatic diming. ISA recommendations of 0.3 foot candles per ambient light conditions when measured at the recommended distance are based on a study by a lighting expert, Dr.Lewin, former president of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. Planning Staff Recommendation b. Static digital signage is inconsistent with the purpose and use. Completely static should not be an option. This limits the use of this modern technology from conveying a message from a currently permitted sign. This may cause legal issues. Examples Java Haven, Happo Bank, Yakima Clean Air Authority, Solarity Bank and Yakima School District and local churches. Planning Staff Recommendation c. If enacted, hold times should be 3 to 4 seconds, with transition for fade in and out 1 second or less as recommend by James Carpentier, AICP, ISA's planning consultant Planning Staff Recommendation d. Amend to one digital sign per street frontage, size as determined by parcel size and zoning. Planning Staff Recommendation e. Determine max size based on zone. Do not permit use in residential zones. Base size of digital sign on percentage of permitted sign area. Industrial and Commercial, 50% of area not to exceed 72 sq feet, and B-1, SCC not to exceed 32 sq feet. . Planning Staff Recommendation f. Delete restrictions on color. This eliminates a feature associated with digital signage. Color or monochrome should be options for the sign user. Planning Staff Recommendation g. Regulate use and removal of temporary signs, such as banners based on the Yakima sign code requirements. Same digital sign rules as determined by zone. In behalf of business sign owners and Yakima signmakers, thank you for giving these recommendations consideration.
