A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING
SPECIAL LEGISLATION PERTAINING TO ADVERTISING CONTENT ON
THE EXISTING FREEWAY READERBOARD SIGN
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach is the owner of a long, narrow, irregularly-
shaped parcel containing approximately 5,200 square feet located west of Beach Boulevard, along
Center Avenue, and south of and contiguous to the line of the Edison right-of-way adjacent to the
San Diego Freeway("Site").
The City has previously entered into a lease agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Huntington Beach and the Redevelopment Agency has in turn leased the Site to the
Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association for the purposes of the erection of an electronic
readerboard sign.
The City has recently been notified by the California Department of Transportation
(CalTrans) that the existing readerboard sign is not in compliance with CalTran's requirements
regarding advertising on readerboard signs adjacent to the San Diego Freeway to businesses within
a Redevelopment Project Area.
The City Council now desires to pursue the adoption of legislation that would authorize the
continued use of the Site for the existing readerboard sign by the Auto Dealers Association and
other businesses located within the City of Huntington Beach.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve
as follows:
1. The City Council hereby directs staff and the City's legislative lobbyist to pursue
legislation pertaining to advertising content on the existing readerboard sign.
