ITEM NO. 3
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00123
(DEV2010-00043C)
Location: 2626 East Katella Avenue
Request: This is a City-initiated request to amend the
Anaheim Municipal Code relating to sign provisions for transit facilities to add new Section 4.04.400 (ARTIC Special Sign District) to Chapter 4.04 (Outdoor Advertising
Signs and Structures - General) of Title 4 (Business
Regulations) and to amend Section 18.14.130 (Signs) of Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special-Purpose Zones) of Title 18 (Zoning Code) and Section 4.08.020 of Chapter 4.08 of
Title 4 to be consistent with the addition of the new Section
4.04.400. This proposal would establish the Anaheim
Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program. This Program includes
previously-approved signs (two 35-foot high monument
signs with static displays for advertisement of on-site
activities and/or tenants; building identity signs; bus shelter signs and signs on the rail platforms that include off-site
advertising; and, other way-finding, directional and
informational signs). It would also permit the two 35-foot
high monument signs to have three digital displays (the double-sided monument sign adjacent to Katella Avenue would have two digital displays and the single-sided
monument sign adjacent to Douglass Road would have
one digital display) to advertise on- and off-site uses,
activities and/or tenants and clarify that outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at ARTIC
(such as open-air festivals).
Environmental Determination: The Planning Commission
will consider whether that certain Second Addendum to the
ARTIC Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343,
together with previously-certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343 and that certain First Addendum thereto, are the appropriate environmental documentation
for the proposed project under and pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State
CEQA Guidelines.

ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 2015
SUBJECT: PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2014-00109
LOCATION: 2274 East Lincoln Avenue (99 Cents Only)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Alfonso Gomez with 99 Cents Only Stores, represented by Steve Rawlings with Alcoholic Beverage
Consulting. The property is owned by NMC Anaheim.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to permit the sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption in conjunction with an existing discount store.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 1, Existing Facilities), and approving Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2014-00109.
BACKGROUND: This 26.8-acre property is developed with the Anaheim Town
Square retail center that includes a 14,983 square foot 99 Cents Only store. The property is in the C-G (General Commercial) zone. The General Plan designates this property for Regional Commercial land uses. The property is surrounded by
apartments to the east and south and commercial uses to the north and west, across
Lincoln Avenue and State College Boulevard, respectively.
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval of a (Type 20) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to allow the sale of beer and wine for off-premises
consumption. Beer and wine sales would represent a small percentage of the overall
retail sales activity of the store. Less than five percent of the floor area would be
allocated for beer and wine display. The store is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week.
ANALYSIS: The sale of alcoholic beverages in discount stores over 10,000 square
feet in size is permitted by right in this zone. However, a Determination of Public
Convenience or Necessity is required in this instance because there is an over-concentration of off-sale licenses in the Census tract and the crime rate is above the City average.

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2014-00109
February 23, 2015 Page 2 of 2
State law limits the issuance of alcoholic beverage licenses when a license is requested for a property
located in a police reporting district with a crime rate above the City average, or when there is an over-
concentration in the number of ABC licenses within a census tract. However, the law also states that such restrictions can be waived if the local jurisdiction makes a determination that the proposed outlet
would serve "public convenience or necessity."
This property is located within Census Tract No. 863.04, which has a population of 4,847. Two off-
sale licenses are permitted based on this population, and currently there are four licenses in the tract. Two off the four existing licenses are located on the opposite side of the SR-57 Freeway. The only
license within the same center is the Ralph’s grocery store at the opposite end of the center. The
property is within Police Reporting District No. 1628, which has a crime rate that is 175% above the
citywide average. There have been 41 calls for service to this location in the past year in response to 16
emergency call hang ups, two checks on welfare, one cruelty to animal, seven disturbances, three petty thefts, one sex offense, five trespasses, one robbery, one assault, one mental health, two suspicious
subjects and one missing child. The crime rate within ¼ mile of this property is 276% above the
citywide average based upon calls for service. These calls consisted of 14 simple assaults, 76 petty
thefts, 18 grand theft autos, and 16 drug abuse violations. The number of calls for service is not usual
for a shopping center of this size.
According to the applicant, employees go through an alcohol sales training program that details
California law governing the sale of alcohol. Additionally, there are surveillance cameras located throughout the store. Wine would be sold in 750 mL bottles or larger; beer would be sold in multi-
packs as well as individually in containers no larger than 24 ounces. The display area would be located
near the rear of the store and there would be no advertising of beer and wine oriented to the outside.
Staff believes that the sale of beer and wine will be a minor portion of this established business, the applicant has demonstrated a commitment to responsible business operations, and that, with
recommended conditions of approval relating to security measures and the prohibition of exterior
displays of alcohol, that the sale of alcoholic beverages would be compatible with the surrounding area.
CONCLUSION: The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption is a
compatible use with the retail center and the surrounding area. The sale of such beverages will provide
a convenience to store patrons. Staff recommends approval of the request.

[DRAFT] ATTACHMENT NO. 1
RESOLUTION NO. PC2015-***
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DETERMINING PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY
NO. 2014-00109 TO PERMIT A TYPE 20 (OFF-SALE BEER AND WINE) ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (DEV2014-00067) (2274 EAST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition for a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2014-00109 to permit the sale of beer and wine with a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) license issued by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (herein referred to as "ABC") for off-premises consumption in conjunction with an
existing discount store commonly known as 99 Cents Only (herein referred to as the "Proposed
Project"), located on a portion of a commercial retail center at 2274 E. Lincoln Avenue in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as such commercial retail center is
generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this
reference (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 26.8 acres, is developed with a commercial retail center, including a 14,983 square foot 99 Cents Only discount store. The
Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Regional Commercial land uses. The
Property is located within the “C-G” General Commercial Zone. As such, the Property is subject
to the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.08 (General Commercial Zone)
of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on February 23, 2015 at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having
been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2014-00109, and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, as the "lead agency" under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the Planning Commission finds and determines that the Proposed Project is within that class of projects (i.e.,
Class 1 – Existing Facilities) which consist of the repair, maintenance, and/or minor alteration of
existing public or private structures or facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of use
beyond that existing at the time of this determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section
15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore,
categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2015-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing with respect to the request for Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2014-00109, does find and determine the following facts:
1. On July 11, 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95R-134 establishing
procedures and delegating certain responsibilities to the Planning Commission relating to the
determination of "Public Convenience or Necessity" on those certain applications requiring that
such determination be made by the local governing body pursuant to applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code, and prior to the issuance of a license by ABC.
2. Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the ABC shall
deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law
enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an "undue concentration" of
licenses, except when an applicant has demonstrated that "public convenience or necessity" would be served by the issuance of a license. For purposes of Section 23958, "undue
concentration" means the case in which the premises are located in an area where any of the
following conditions exist:
(a) The premises are located in a crime reporting district that has a 20%
greater number of "reported crimes" (as defined in Section 23958.4) than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the City of Anaheim.
(b) As to on-sale retail license applications, the ratio of on-sale retail
licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the
premises are located exceeds the ratio of on-sale retail licenses to population in the county.
(c) As to off-sale retail license applications, the ratio of off-sale retail
licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the
premises are located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to
population in the county.
3. Notwithstanding the existence of the above-referenced conditions, ABC may
issue a license if the Planning Commission determines that the "public convenience or necessity"
would be served by the issuance.
4. Resolution No. 95R-134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police Department to
make recommendations related to "public convenience or necessity" determinations; and, when the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption is permitted by the Code, said
recommendations shall take the form of conditions of approval to be imposed on the
determination in order to ensure that the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages does not
adversely affect any adjoining land use or the growth and development of the surrounding area.
- 2 - PC2015-***
5. The Property is located within Census Tract 863.04 with a population of 4,847
that allows for two (2) off-sale ABC licenses. There are presently four (4) off-sale ABC licenses
in the tract. The Property is located in Police Reporting District No. 1628, which has a crime rate that is 175% above the City-wide average; however, the Police Department evaluates these requests based on the crime rate within a one-quarter mile radius of the premises for the subject
site. The crime rate within ¼ mile of this Property is 200% above the City-wide average based
upon calls for service. Since there is an overconcentration in the number of off-sale ABC
licenses within this census tract and the crime rate is above the City-wide average, a determination of "public convenience or necessity" is required to be made for this request.
6. A determination of "public convenience or necessity" can be made based on the
finding that the requested license, under the conditions imposed, will not be detrimental to the
health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the sales of beer and wine at this
location will be a small percentage of overall sales for this business and an incidental commodity provided by the existing discount store.
7. The sale of beer and wine is ancillary to the discount store and would serve as an
added convenience to residents and visitors to the area who choose to shop at this establishment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
determine that the public convenience or necessity will be served by the issuance of a license for the sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption at this location and, accordingly, hereby approves Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2014-00109, subject to the conditions of approval
described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which are
hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property in order to
preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance
with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be
amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing
is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition(s), (ii) the
modification complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance
with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part
thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and
void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable
City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or
requirement.
- 3 - PC2015-***
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification or revocation of this
permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
February 23, 2015. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

ITEM NO. 3 PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 2015
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00123
LOCATION: 2626 East Katella Avenue (Anaheim Regional Transportation
Intermodal Center – ARTIC)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner are the
City of Anaheim, represented by the Public Works Department.
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend Titles 4 (Business Regulations)
and 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign
District (also referred to as the “District”). This District is proposed to be
implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
Resolution, determine that the Second Addendum to the ARTIC Final Environmental
Impact Report No. 2010-00343 (EIR No. 343), together with previously-certified Final
EIR No. 343 and that certain First Addendum thereto, are the appropriate environmental documentation for the proposed project under and pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines and,
by motion, recommend to the City Council approval of Zoning Code Amendment No.
2015-00123.
BACKGROUND: ARTIC is a multi-modal transit facility located on 19 acres. The
proposed project pertains to the 16-acre portion of the site located northeast of State
Route 57 (SR-57), south of Katella Avenue and west of the Santa Ana River. The 3-
acre portion of the site (a 405-space parking lot) located west of SR-57 is not part of
this request.
ARTIC opened for public use in December 2014. It serves passenger rail systems
(Amtrak and Metrolink), buses (Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA),
Anaheim Resort Transportation, Greyhound and Megabus.com), taxis, bikes and other
modes of travel. It is also designated to be a station for the California High-Speed Rail train system. The centerpiece of ARTIC is a three-story, 120-foot high, 67,000 square
foot intermodal transportation terminal. This building includes up to 12,075 square
feet of commercial space for passenger-oriented retail and restaurants. A 456-space

parking lot is provided in front of the building and a 221-space parking lot is provided south of
the building and the adjacent railroad corridor. The terminal building and adjacent parking lots are located in the Semi Public (SP) Zone and the
Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone. This property is also designated by the
General Plan for Mixed-Use development. Surrounding land uses include a retail center and
restaurant at the southeast corner of Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, Honda Center to the north across Katella Avenue, the Santa Ana River Trail to the east, State Route (SR-57) and Angel Stadium of Anaheim to the southwest, and an industrial park and a hotel to the west across
Douglass Road.
In 2010, the City Council certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343 (EIR No. 343) for the ARTIC project. This document analyzed the conceptual development of the transportation facility so the City could identify any significant environmental impacts prior to
commencing more detailed planning efforts. Following certification of the EIR, more
comprehensive facility planning was completed.
When the ARTIC plans were initially prepared in 2010, the OCTA owned approximately 13.5 acres of the site north of the railroad tracks. The Zoning Code does not include requirements for
city facilities. However, as this site was owned by OCTA, staff determined that a Conditional
Use Permit was the appropriate permit for the ARTIC transit facility building and northern
parking lot. The CUP did not include the city-owned portions of the ARTIC site south of the railroad tracks or west of SR-57. The City later purchased the 13.5 acres from the OCTA in July, 2012.
In May, 2012, the City Council approved several requests for ARTIC including: a Conditional
Use Permit consisting of more detailed plans for ARTIC; an amendment to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP) pertaining to landscaping and street cross-sections for Douglass Road and Katella Avenue; and, an amendment to the Code to permit signs, including
off-site advertising signs, in conjunction with a transit facility. The amended Code allowed the
Planning Director to approve signs subject to the following findings: 1) signs must be part of a
coordinated sign program; 2) signs must complement the architecture of the transit facility; and, 3) the size, scale and style of the signs must be internally consistent and consistent with the scale of the transit facility and surrounding land uses. This amendment was requested because in 2012
sign standards for transit facilities were not addressed in the Code. In addition, revenues from
off-site advertising had been identified as a potential source to fund operation and maintenance
for ARTIC and the added sign provisions were designed to help support the sign program envisioned for the site. The City Council also approved an addendum to EIR No. 343 that analyzed the requested CUP and amendments to the PTMLUP and Code. The addendum
concluded these proposals would have no greater impacts than the impacts previously disclosed
by EIR No. 343.
In September 2012, the Planning Director approved a Coordinated Sign Program for ARTIC. This program included monument signs adjacent to the site entrances on Katella Avenue and
Douglass Road; wall signs above the building entrances; bus shelter and train platform signs,
which included outdoor advertising panels; and, other directional and informational signs.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00123
February 23, 2015 Page 3 of 6
Additional off-site advertising signs were contemplated for ARTIC at the time the coordinated
sign program was initially approved by the Planning Director. However, State law prohibited
off-site advertising within a 660-foot wide area at the edge of interstate or primary highways (SR-57 and Katella Avenue are designated as “primary highways”). In order to address this prohibition, the City supported Senate Bill 694 (SB 694) which was signed by the Governor in
2013. This legislation authorizes local agencies that plan to build and operate future high speed
rail stations to establish an advertising display program, including off-site advertising displays,
provided certain criteria is met, such as establishment of a sign district. In addition, the multi-modal transit facility is required to be a publicly-owned facility that serves passenger rail and that is to serve as a station for a high-speed rail system. SB 694 provides significant local
control over advertising so that the jurisdiction in which the displays will be located within have
a say on the number, spacing, illumination and hours of operation. Advertising revenues, as
authorized by the bill, are intended to significantly help local communities, like Anaheim, defray operational and maintenance costs of these transit facilities while protecting the City’s transportation and general funds.
In October 2014, City staff requested an amendment to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to
replace the approved monument signs adjacent to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue with two larger (35-foot high) digital monument signs that include off-site advertising, and to add a double-sided freeway-oriented digital billboard. The Planning Director elected to refer the
proposed amendment to the Planning Commission for its review. On November 3, 2014, the
Planning Commission denied the request. An appeal was filed for City Council consideration of
the request. On November 24, 2014, the City Council approved the two proposed monument signs with static displays, limited to the advertisement of on-site activities or tenants; and, referred back to Planning Commission the consideration of the digital displays on the monument
signs. The City Council elected not to approve the freeway-oriented billboard.
The two monument signs approved by the City Council have been constructed. The proposed digital displays were installed as part of the construction of the monument signs; however, the displays have been covered with static vinyl signs until such time that they may be permitted.
PROPOSAL:
The proposed ordinance would establish a special sign district for ARTIC, including permitting off-site advertising displays (see Attachment No. 1). This proposal would replace
the sign standards for transit facilities in the Zoning Code (Title 18) with a new ARTIC
Special Sign District that would be created and added to the Business Regulations Code (Title
4). It would also require all signs within the District to conform to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (Sign Program) included as Attachment No. 2.
The Sign Program is proposed to include previously-approved signs (the two monument signs
adjacent to the Douglass Road and Katella Avenue driveway entrances to the site, building
identity signs, signs on bus shelters and rail platforms that include off-site advertising; and, other way-finding, directional and informational signs). It would also permit the two monument signs to have three digital displays for advertising on- and off-site uses, activities
and/or tenants. The double-sided monument sign adjacent to Katella Avenue would have two
digital displays facing east and west. The single-sided monument sign adjacent to Douglass
Road would have one digital display facing north. The Sign Program also includes
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00123
February 23, 2015 Page 4 of 6
clarifications (i.e., outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at ARTIC,
such as open-air festivals).
The proposed District also includes a process for amending the Sign Program. The Public Works Director would be authorized to approve amendments relating to on-premise signs
(i.e., tenant, way finding and directional signs) subject to consultation with the City Attorney
and the written approval of the City Manager. Amendments to the Sign Program to permit
any additional off-site advertising signs or signs with a sponsorship name would require approval by the City Council at a public meeting. Prior to approving any amendments to the Sign Program, the following findings would be required: 1) such amendment shall not violate
any other provision of the Anaheim Municipal Code; 2) signs shall complement the
architecture of ARTIC; and, 3) signs shall 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.
As indicated above, the proposed Sign Program would permit the two existing monument
signs to have digital displays advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or tenants (see
Attachment No. 2, Appendix E and Attachment No. 5). Each digital display would be approximately 10.2-foot by 18.5-foot, with an approximate area of 190 square feet. The digital displays would operate on a rotation of eight messages, with each message being
displayed for a minimum of eight seconds at a time. Although the primary content of the
digital displays would be for on- and off-site advertising, the City would have rights to
display City-related content on the monument signs, including Public Service Announcements. There would also be six individual tenant panels below the digital display. These panels would be internally illuminated by low-voltage digital LED’s (light-emitting
diode’s) and are approximately 10.2-foot by 4.5-foot in size, with an approximate area of 46
square feet.
The digital displays are intended to operate between 5:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., with the capability of operating up to 24 hours a day, depending on demands and/or needs for
emergency messaging, such as Amber Alerts and other law enforcement uses. The digital
displays would be operated using proprietary software, and the content and functionality of
the signs would be monitored by the use of wirelessly controlled adjustable closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
The displays would be equipped with a light sensor (photocell) that would automatically
adjust the sign’s brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions. The automatic
dimming technology allows for the displays to be dimmed from 100 percent during a bright sunny afternoon to as low as 4 percent at night. In the event of photocell failure, the displays will automatically dim to the minimum brightness level (four percent). The displays would
use a louver system over each row of pixels, which would assist with producing directional
illumination.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed ordinance has been prepared in conformance with the criteria and requirements set
forth in SB 694. ARTIC is a multi-modal facility located on public land and is owned and operated by the City of Anaheim. It also serves passenger rail, bus transit uses and other modes
of travel and is designated as a future station for the California High-Speed Rail system. All
signs in the District would be required to be in conformance with the ARTIC Coordinated Sign
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00123
February 23, 2015 Page 5 of 6
Program, as it may be amended from time to time per the procedures identified in the ARTIC
Special Sign District. This Sign Program includes the information required by SB 694 including:
the number of signs and total sign area allowed; maximum individual sign area; minimum sign separation; and, sign illumination restrictions, regulations and hours of operation.
With regard to the monument signs, staff believes the design of these signs, including the digital
display area and tenant panels, is consistent with the visual character of the ARTIC facility.
These signs are also compatible with the existing and future land uses planned for the surrounding Platinum Triangle and the mixed-use area planned in the City of Orange as they are designed to self-adjust the levels of illumination in order to avoid excessive sign glare.
ARTIC is also located along a stretch of the SR-57 freeway that is home to two regional
entertainment venues, Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Honda Center, which attract millions of visitors to the area annually. ARTIC, Honda Center and Angel Stadium are iconic structures that visually define the area. Both Honda Center and Angel Stadium maintain large, digital message
boards that advertise upcoming events and corporate sponsors and are visible from SR-57 and
adjacent roadways. These signs were approved by conditional use permits through a public
hearing process. In comparison, the ARTIC monument signs and proposed sign display area are smaller in height and sign area than the Angel Stadium and Honda Center signs as shown in the following table.

The use of off-site advertising signs at ARTIC has been contemplated for several years and was
the basis for the 2012 code amendment to allow off-site advertising at this location. The
potential for off-site advertising at this location was also the basis for the City’s support of SB 694 which allows off-site advertising for a multi-modal transit facility. The uniqueness of ARTIC, in location, purpose and funding, avails itself to a unique sign and revenue solution that
would not be applicable to other privately-owned properties. This Code amendment is being
reviewed at this public hearing to allow public participation in this decision.
A Second Addendum to EIR No. 343 has been prepared to address the proposed amendment to the Code (see Attachment No. 4). As discussed throughout the Addendum, the proposed project
is consistent with EIR No. 343 and its First Addendum and would not result in any new or
greater environmental impacts than previously analyzed in EIR No. 343. All future amendments
to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would be reviewed for consistency with the ARTIC EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addendums. In general, all future signs to be located inside the ARTIC building and all directional or way finding signs would be consistent with this
environmental documentation. Any future signs to be located outside of the ARTIC building
identifying on-premise tenants and signs advertising off-site uses or activities would be reviewed
for consistency. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these environmental documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends approval of this Code Amendment as it will implement
SB 694 and permit off-site advertising to occur on the ARTIC site. Permitting digital advertising displays on the two monument signs adjacent to Katella Avenue and Douglass Road will also guide visitors to the facility and draw visual interest to the venue while generating advertising
revenue that would be used to offset the expected maintenance costs for the facility. This Code
Amendment will also establish a procedure for future amendments to the Sign Program, with the
Public Works Director authorized to approve on-premise tenant, way finding and directional signs and signs interior to the ARTIC building. Any additional off-site advertising or sponsorship signs would require City Council approval through a transparent and public process.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
ADDING SECTION 4.04.400 TO CHAPTER 4.04 OF
TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT FOR THE ANAHEIM
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL
CENTER (ARTIC) AND AMENDING SECTION
18.14.130 OF CHAPTER 18.14 OF TITLE 18 AND SECTION 4.08.020 OF CHAPTER 4.08 OF TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH THE ADDITION OF SAID NEW
SECTION 4.04.400.
WHEREAS, the Outdoor Advertising Act (Chapter 2 of the California Business and Professions Code, commencing at Section 5200; herein referred to as the "OAA") regulates the
size, illumination, orientation and location of advertising displays within specified distances of
interstate or primary highways. With some exceptions, the OAA prohibits "off-premises"
advertising displays from being placed or maintained within a 660-foot wide controlled area at the edge of interstate or primary highways. State Route 57 ("SR-57") and Katella Avenue are
"primary highways" and, therefore, subject to the regulation of advertising displays under the
OAA; and
WHEREAS, the OAA generally does not apply to “on-premises” advertising displays,
which include those advertising the sale of the property upon which they are placed or that advertise the business conducted, services rendered, or goods produced or sold on the property.
The City of Anaheim ("City"), as do all local governments, regulates "on-premises" displays; and
WHEREAS, by the enactment of Senate Bill 694 in 2013, Section 5272.1 was added to
the California Business and Professions Code, which exempts from the OAA advertising displays
at a publicly-owned multimodal transit facility that serves passenger rail and that is to serve as a station for a high-speed train system. If a city, county or city and county meets the requirements
for exemption under Section 5272.2, revenues from advertising displays at a publicly-owned
multi-modal transit facility are required to be used to support the construction, operation, and
maintenance of the multimodal transit facility; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center ("ARTIC") is a multi-modal transit facility located on approximately 16 acres northeast of State Route 57 ("SR-
57"), south of Katella Avenue, and west of the Santa Ana River. ARTIC serves the Amtrak and
Metrolink passenger rail systems, Orange County Transportation Authority ("OCTA") bus
service, taxi service and other modes of travel; and
WHEREAS, located on public land and owned and operated by the City of Anaheim, ARTIC opened for rail and bus transit use to members of the general public in December 2014;
and
ATTACHMENT NO. 1
2
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") entered into in
September 2010 by and among the Orange County Council of Governments ("OCCOG"), the
OCTA, and the Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG"), OCCOG and OCTA
formed a joint committee and developed the Orange County Sustainable Communities Strategy ("OC SCS") sub-regional plan, meeting the requirements of Senate Bill 375 (as enacted by the State Legislature in 2008). The City of Anaheim participated in the OCCOG as a member
agency. In June 2011, the OCTA and the OCCOG Boards adopted the OC SCS. The OC SCS
identifies ARTIC 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 also support future rail service, including the California high-speed train system. Pursuant to the MOU and its satisfaction with the OC SCS, SCAG incorporated the OC SCS in its
entirety into its 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy
("RTP/SCS"). The RTP/SCS also includes an appendix with a list of federally funded
transportation projects, including ARTIC. SCAG adopted its RTP/SCS in April 2012. Accordingly, ARTIC is identified as a critical component in the region's sustainable communities strategy, as described in Section 65080 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the California High-Speed Rail Authority ("HSRA") was established in 1996
to direct development and implementation of a high-speed train system that is fully coordinated
with other public transportation services; and
WHEREAS, in 2008, voters approved Proposition 1A ("Prop 1A") authorizing $9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for a high-speed train system. Prop 1A identified the first
phase of the project to connect the San Francisco Transbay Terminal to Los Angeles Union
Station and Anaheim. Accordingly, ARTIC is what is identified in paragraph (2) of subdivision
(b) of Section 2704.04 of the California Streets and Highways Code (which became effective upon adoption by the voters of Prop 1A) as "a current or future station for the high-speed train system" within Phase 1 of the high-speed train project; and
WHEREAS, on June 5, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6247, which
amended Section 18.14.130 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to allow signs, including off-site
advertising signs, in conjunction with a transit facility to be permitted by the Planning Director as a part of a "coordinated sign program". Section 18.14.130 requires such signs to "complement the architecture of the transit facility and provide a unifying element along the streetscape" and
provides that "[t]he size, scale and style of such signs must be internally consistent and consistent
with the scale of the transit facility and the surrounding land uses"; and
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2012, a Coordinated Sign Program for ARTIC was approved by the Planning Director pursuant to Subsection .030 of Section 18.14.130 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and included two 7-foot high by 19-1/2 feet wide double-sided on-site
monument signs adjacent to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue at entrances to the ARTIC site;
building identity signs; bus passenger shelter signs that included off-site advertising; and other
way-finding, directional and informational signs (the "Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program"); and
WHEREAS, by a resolution considered and approved by the City Council of the City of
Anaheim ("City Council") at an open public meeting on November 25, 2014, the City Council
3
approved an amendment to the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to permit an increase
in size for the Douglass Road and Katella Avenue monument signs to 35 feet with static, non-
digital displays limited to the advertisement of on-site activities and/or tenants (the "First
Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program").
WHEREAS, the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and the First Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program are on file in the office of the Director of Public
Works of the City of Anaheim and are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set
forth; and
WHEREAS, the Katella Avenue monument sign is located at the northeastern most corner of the ARTIC site on the west side of the Katella Avenue entrance to ARTIC, approximately 1,220 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of the SR-57 freeway; and
WHEREAS, the Douglass Road monument sign is located at the Douglass Road entrance
to the ARTIC site, approximately 570 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of the SR-57
freeway. Land uses surrounding the Douglass Road monument sign include hotel, office and light industrial uses to the west; and
WHEREAS, in place of the provisions of subsection .030 of Section 18.14.130 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code that presently allows signs, including off-site advertising signs, in
conjunction with a transit facility to be permitted by the Planning Director as a part of a
"coordinated sign program", the City Council desires to establish a special sign district for ARTIC to be known as the "ARTIC Special Sign District" in conformance with Section 5272.1 of the California Business and Professions Code and under the authority conferred upon it by the City’s
police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the
City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") has the authority to enact and enforce
ordinances and regulations for the public peace, morals and welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish standards and regulations for the orderly
and most appropriate location and use of signs within the ARTIC Special Sign District (1) to
protect public investment in and the character and dignity of the buildings, improvements, open
spaces and thoroughfares comprising ARTIC, (2) to protect the distinctive appearance of ARTIC which is produced by its unique architectural features, (3) to aid in the attraction of tourists and visitors who are important to the economy of the City, (4) to reduce hazards to motorists and
pedestrians traveling on the public way, and thereby to promote the public health, safety and
welfare. Said standards and regulations are described in that certain ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program in the form presented at the meeting at which this ordinance was introduced, which the Council desires to substitute in the place and stead of the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and the First Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program effective upon
the effective date of this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”) and the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (commencing with Section 15000 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "State CEQA

Guidelines"), the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental
documents for this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on September 28, 2010, the City Council adopted its Resolution No. 2010-161, certifying the ARTIC Environmental Impact Report No. 2010-00343 ("EIR No. 343") in support of the ARTIC project, which proposed to relocate the existing Anaheim
Metrolink/Amtrak passenger rail station 0.25 mile east along the existing Orange County
Transportation Authority ("OCTA") railroad right-of-way and included, among other
improvements, the development of an intermodal terminal, a public plaza and drop-off area, tracks, boarding platforms, improvements to Douglass Road, and surface parking; and
WHEREAS, by motion made on May 29, 2012 in conjunction with its adoption of
Resolution No. 2012-046 approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492 to permit the
development and construction of ARTIC, the City Council approved an Addendum to EIR No.
343 (the "First Addendum"). The First Addendum evaluated refinements to the project description identified in EIR No. 343, including a reduction in building square footage at the intermodal terminal building; a change to an above-grade bus transit facility; the addition of a
pedestrian concourse; removal of the Metrolink/Amtrak concourse tunnel; addition of a baggage
tunnel; changes to the boarding platform width and length; reduced width of the Douglass Road
Bridge; and modifications to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue. As part of the refined project, the First Addendum also evaluated a sponsorship signage program that could include up to 13 pylon signs approximately 85-feet high by 20-feet wide with up to 760 feet of advertising space
per sign; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Second Addendum to EIR No. 343 pursuant to the
provisions of Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines in order to determine whether any significant environmental impacts which were not identified in the previously-approved EIR No. 343 would result or whether previously identified significant impacts would be substantially more
severe in connection with this proposed ordinance (the "Second Addendum"); and
WHEREAS, by a resolution considered and approved by the City Council concurrently
with but prior in time to consideration of this ordinance, the City Council found and determined that (i) the Second Addendum was prepared in compliance with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual; (ii) the proposed Second
Addendum serves as the appropriate environmental documentation for the proposed ordinance
and satisfies all of the requirements of CEQA; (iii) none of the conditions described in Sections
15162 or 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration have occurred in connection with the proposed ordinance; and (iv) no further environmental documentation needs to be prepared under CEQA
for this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that this ordinance is in accord with the public
purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1.
That new Section 4.04.400 (ARTIC Special Sign District) is hereby added to Chapter 4.04
(Outdoor Advertising Signs and Structures - General) of Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, to read in full as follows:
4.04.400 ARTIC SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT
.010 Establishment. There shall be established in this Section 4.04.400 a special sign district known as the "ARTIC Special Sign District", the designation, location and boundaries of which are shown on the map of the
ARTIC Special Sign District on file with the Public Works 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 stated in
Section 18.44.010 (Purpose) of Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of this Code, the following
purposes apply to the ARTIC 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.
6
(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) use 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.

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.
“Advertising structure” means a structure of any kind or character erected, used,

acres 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

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, 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 ARTIC 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,

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.
(4) 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
8
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.

regulations of the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and only after any other acts or activities requiring the subsequent independent exercise of discretion by the
City or any department thereof have occurred, including the issuance of all

.0504 Except for those regulations contained in the ARTIC 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 ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program relating exclusively to on-premises advertising displays 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. The Director may refer any such proposed amendment or modification to the City Council when he or she determines that the general public interest
warrants such referral. 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 ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program.
.0505 Except as otherwise required by Section 5272.1 of the California

ARTIC COORDINATED SIGN PROGRAM
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Anaheim Regional Transportation Center (ARTIC) is a multi-modal transit facility located on
approximately 16 acres northeast of State Route 57 (SR-57), south of Katella Avenue and west of the
Santa Ana River (Exhibit A). ARTIC serves passenger rail systems (Amtrak and Metrolink), buses (Orange
County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART), Greyhound and
Megabus), taxi service and other modes of travel. It will also support future rail service, including the
California High-Speed Rail train system and the proposed Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC) fixed-
guideway project. ARTIC also includes commercial space for passenger-oriented retail and restaurants.
ARTIC opened for public use in December 2014.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492 on May 29, 2012, to permit the ARTIC
transit facility. The City Council also adopted Ordinance No. 6247 on June 5, 2012, to amend Title 18
(Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) to permit signs, including off-site advertising signs, in
conjunction with a transit facility subject to the review and approval of the Planning Director based
upon the following findings:
a) Signs shall be a part of a coordinated sign program;
b) Signs shall complement the architecture of the transit facility and provide a unifying
element along the streetscape; and
c) The size, scale and style of signs shall be internally consistent and consistent with the
scale of the transit facility and the surrounding land uses.
On September 18, 2012, the Planning Director approved Miscellaneous Permit No. 2012-00558,
permitting the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (Appendix A – Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program). This Program includes two 7-foot high by 19 ½ foot wide double-sided on-site monument
signs adjacent to the site entrances on Katella Avenue and Douglass Road; building identity signs; bus
shelter and train platform signs, which included outdoor on- and off-site advertising panels; and, other
directional and informational signs.
On November 25, 2014, the City Council approved Miscellaneous Permit No. 2012-00558A by Resolution
No. 2014-207, permitting an amendment to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (Appendix B – First
Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program). The Amended Program replaces the two
previously-approved static monument signs adjacent to ARTIC driveways on Katella Avenue and
Douglass Road with two larger 35 foot high monument signs featuring static displays limited to the
2 | Page
advertisement of on-site activities or tenants for the ARTIC Project. City Council also referred the use of
digital advertising on the monument signs back to the Planning Commission for consideration.
3.0 ARTIC COORDINATED SIGN PROGRAM
Senate Bill 694 approved in 2013, exempts from certain provisions of the Outdoor Advertising Act
advertising displays on public property, upon which is located a publicly-owned multimodal transit
facility that serves passenger rail and that is to serve as a station for a high-speed train system, provided
that certain criteria, including the establishment of a sign district, is met (Appendix C – Senate Bill 694).
If a city meets the requirements for exemption under this bill, revenues from advertising displays are
required to be used to support the construction, operation and maintenance of the multimodal transit
facility.
In conformance with Senate Bill 694, on ______, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. _____ to
establish the ARTIC Special Sign District. The Special Sign District is implemented by this ARTIC
Coordinated Sign Program dated ______, as may be amended from time to time in conformance with
the procedures set forth in the ordinance (Appendix D – Ordinance No. _____). This ordinance also
amends the AMC to replace the code sections which allow signs at a transit facility in Title 18 (Zoning)
with the new code section in Title 4 (Business Regulations) establishing the ARTIC Special Sign District.
The ARTIC Special Sign District boundaries are identified in Exhibit A.
This ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program has been prepared to describe the sign standards and regulations
for ARTIC. It is comprised of the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and the First Amendment to
Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program. It also includes provisions to permit the two 35-foot high
monument signs at ARTIC to have digital displays advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or
tenants and clarifies that outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at ARTIC, such
as open-air festivals (Appendix E – Additional Sign Provisions). Appendix E also includes additional
details and clarifications, including updated plans and photos relating to the previously-approved signs
on bus shelters and rail platforms that include off-site advertising.
This ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program will become effective upon the effective date of the City Council
Ordinance No. _____ establishing the ARTIC Special Sign District.

Ordinance No. ______
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING SECTION 4.04.400 TO CHAPTER 4.04 OF
TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT FOR THE ANAHEIM
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL CENTER (ARTIC) AND AMENDING SECTION
18.14.130 OF CHAPTER 18.14 OF TITLE 18 AND SECTION 4.08.020 OF CHAPTER 4.08 OF TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ADDITION OF SAID NEW SECTION 4.04.400.
WHEREAS, the Outdoor Advertising Act (Chapter 2 of the California Business and
Professions Code, commencing at Section 5200; herein referred to as the "OAA") regulates the size, illumination, orientation and location of advertising displays within specified distances of interstate or primary highways. With some exceptions, the OAA prohibits "off-premises" advertising displays from being placed or maintained within a 660-foot wide controlled area at the edge of interstate or primary highways. State Route 57 ("SR-57") and Katella Avenue are
"primary highways" and, therefore, subject to the regulation of advertising displays under the OAA; and
WHEREAS, the OAA generally does not apply to “on-premises” advertising displays, which include those advertising the sale of the property upon which they are placed or that advertise the business conducted, services rendered, or goods produced or sold on the property.
The City of Anaheim ("City"), as do all local governments, regulates "on-premises" displays; and
WHEREAS, by the enactment of Senate Bill 694 in 2013, Section 5272.1 was added to the California Business and Professions Code, which exempts from the OAA advertising
displays at a publicly-owned multimodal transit facility that serves passenger rail and that is to serve as a station for a high-speed train system. If a city, county or city and county meets the
requirements for exemption under Section 5272.2, revenues from advertising displays at a publicly-owned multi-modal transit facility are required to be used to support the construction, operation, and maintenance of the multimodal transit facility; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center ("ARTIC") is a multi-modal transit facility located on approximately 16 acres northeast of State Route 57 ("SR-57"), south of Katella Avenue, and west of the Santa Ana River. ARTIC serves the Amtrak and Metrolink passenger rail systems, Orange County Transportation Authority ("OCTA") bus service, taxi service and other modes of travel; and
WHEREAS, located on public land and owned and operated by the City of Anaheim, ARTIC opened for rail and bus transit use to members of the general public in December 2014; and
2
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") entered into in September 2010 by and among the Orange County Council of Governments ("OCCOG"), the OCTA, and the Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG"), OCCOG and OCTA formed a joint committee and developed the Orange County Sustainable Communities
Strategy ("OC SCS") sub-regional plan, meeting the requirements of Senate Bill 375 (as enacted by the State Legislature in 2008). The City of Anaheim participated in the OCCOG as a member
agency. In June 2011, the OCTA and the OCCOG Boards adopted the OC SCS. The OC SCS identifies ARTIC 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 also support future rail service, including the California high-speed train system. Pursuant to the MOU and its satisfaction with the OC SCS, SCAG incorporated the OC SCS in
its entirety into its 2012-2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy ("RTP/SCS"). The RTP/SCS also includes an appendix with a list of federally funded
transportation projects, including ARTIC. SCAG adopted its RTP/SCS in April 2012. Accordingly, ARTIC is identified as a critical component in the region's sustainable communities strategy, as described in Section 65080 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, the California High-Speed Rail Authority ("HSRA") was established in 1996 to direct development and implementation of a high-speed train system that is fully coordinated with other public transportation services; and
WHEREAS, in 2008, voters approved Proposition 1A ("Prop 1A") authorizing $9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for a high-speed train system. Prop 1A identified the first phase of the project to connect the San Francisco Transbay Terminal to Los Angeles Union Station and Anaheim. Accordingly, ARTIC is what is identified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 2704.04 of the California Streets and Highways Code (which became effective
upon adoption by the voters of Prop 1A) as "a current or future station for the high-speed train system" within Phase 1 of the high-speed train project; and
WHEREAS, on June 5, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6247, which
amended Section 18.14.130 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to allow signs, including off-site advertising signs, in conjunction with a transit facility to be permitted by the Planning Director
as a part of a "coordinated sign program". Section 18.14.130 requires such signs to "complement the architecture of the transit facility and provide a unifying element along the streetscape" and provides that "[t]he size, scale and style of such signs must be internally consistent and consistent with the scale of the transit facility and the surrounding land uses"; and
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2012, a Coordinated Sign Program for ARTIC was
approved by the Planning Director pursuant to Subsection .030 of Section 18.14.130 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and included two 7-foot high by 19-1/2 feet wide double-sided on-site monument signs adjacent to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue at entrances to the ARTIC site;
building identity signs; bus passenger shelter signs that included off-site advertising; and other way-finding, directional and informational signs (the "Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program"); and
WHEREAS, by a resolution considered and approved by the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") at an open public meeting on November 25, 2014, the City Council
3
approved an amendment to the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to permit an increase in size for the Douglass Road and Katella Avenue monument signs to 35 feet with static, non-digital displays limited to the advertisement of on-site activities and/or tenants (the "First Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program").
WHEREAS, the Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and the First Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program are on file in the office of the Director of Public Works of the City of Anaheim and are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set
forth; and
WHEREAS, the Katella Avenue monument sign is located at the northeastern most corner of the ARTIC site on the west side of the Katella Avenue entrance to ARTIC, approximately 1,220 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of the SR-57 freeway; and
WHEREAS, the Douglass Road monument sign is located at the Douglass Road entrance to the ARTIC site, approximately 570 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of the SR-57 freeway. Land uses surrounding the Douglass Road monument sign include hotel, office and light industrial uses to the west; and
WHEREAS, in place of the provisions of subsection .030 of Section 18.14.130 of the Anaheim Municipal Code that presently allows signs, including off-site advertising signs, in conjunction with a transit facility to be permitted by the Planning Director as a part of a
"coordinated sign program", the City Council desires to establish a special sign district for ARTIC to be known as the "ARTIC Special Sign District" in conformance with Section 5272.1
of the California Business and Professions Code and under the authority conferred upon it by the City’s police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace, morals and welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish standards and regulations for the orderly and most appropriate location and use of signs within the ARTIC Special Sign District (1) to protect public investment in and the character and dignity of the buildings, improvements,
open spaces and thoroughfares comprising ARTIC, (2) to protect the distinctive appearance of ARTIC which is produced by its unique architectural features, (3) to aid in the attraction of
tourists and visitors who are important to the economy of the City, (4) to reduce hazards to motorists and pedestrians traveling on the public way, and thereby to promote the public health, safety and welfare. Said standards and regulations are described in that certain ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program in the form presented at the meeting at which this ordinance was introduced, which the Council desires to substitute in the place and stead of the Original ARTIC
Coordinated Sign Program and the First Amendment to Original ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program effective upon the effective date of this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”) and the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (commencing with
Section 15000 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "State
4
CEQA Guidelines"), the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents for this ordinance; and WHEREAS, on September 28, 2010, the City Council adopted its Resolution No. 2010-
161, certifying the ARTIC Environmental Impact Report No. 2010-00343 ("EIR No. 343") in support of the ARTIC project, which proposed to relocate the existing Anaheim
Metrolink/Amtrak passenger rail station 0.25 mile east along the existing Orange County Transportation Authority ("OCTA") railroad right-of-way and included, among other improvements, the development of an intermodal terminal, a public plaza and drop-off area, tracks, boarding platforms, improvements to Douglass Road, and surface parking; and

SECTION 1. That new Section 4.04.400 (ARTIC Special Sign District) is hereby added to Chapter 4.04 (Outdoor Advertising Signs and Structures - General) of Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code, to read in full as follows: 4.04.400 ARTIC SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT .010 Establishment. There shall be established in this Section 4.04.400 a special sign district known as the "ARTIC Special Sign District", the designation, location and boundaries of which are shown on the map of the
ARTIC Special Sign District on file with the Public Works 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 stated in
Section 18.44.010 (Purpose) of Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of this Code, the following purposes apply to the ARTIC 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.
6
(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) use 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.

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.
(4) 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.

APPENDIX E
Additional Sign Provisions
ARTIC Monument Signs with digital displays advertising on- and off-site uses,
activities and/or tenants:
The attached sign plans depict three digital display areas for advertising on- and off-site uses, activities
and/or tenants for the two ARTIC monument signs. The monument sign adjacent to Douglass Road is
approximately 30 feet high and contains a single advertising display face, while the monument sign
adjacent to Katella Avenue is approximately 35 feet high and contains a double-sided advertising display
face. The two signs are approximately 800 feet apart and both signs are within 1,000 feet of the
entrance to the ARTIC building.
The attached sign plans show each digital display is approximately 10.2 feet x 18.5-feet (with an
approximate area of 190 square feet per display). All of the digital displays will be operated on a
rotation of eight messages, with each (static) message being displayed for a minimum of eight seconds
at a time. Six individual tenant panels on the lower part of the sign are internally illuminated by low-
voltage LED’s and are approximately 10.2 feet x 4.5 feet in size (46 square feet in area).
The signs will not be permitted to have scrolling, animation, flashing or movement effects. The City will
have rights to certain spots to display City-related content on the monument signs. This will allow Public
Service Announcements, special event information and additional tenant recognition as the City
partners with the ARTIC tenants/providers to market the facility.
The digital LED displays are initially intended to be operated between 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., with the
capability of running up to 24 hours a day, depending on demands and/or needs for emergency
messaging – such as Amber Alert or other law enforcement uses. All systems will be run from
proprietary software, limiting the vulnerability of cyber-attacks. The content and functionality of the
systems will be monitored by the use of wirelessly controlled CCTV cameras which can be adjusted
accordingly.
In addition to providing identification for the transit providers and retail tenants, and visibility for the
ARTIC driveways, the monument sign digital display areas will generate advertising revenue to offset
operational and maintenance costs of the ARTIC facility.
Previously-Approved Signs on Bus Shelters and Train Platforms (more detailed
plans and photos)
On September 18, 2012, the Planning Director approved the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (see
Appendix A). This program includes signs on bus shelters and signs on rail platforms that include off-site
advertising. Attached are plans which show these signs in more detail and reflect the actual signs
(including sign area) constructed at ARTIC. These signs would be illuminated during the same hours as
permitted for the monument signs with digital displays.
Sign Restrictions related to Alcohol Advertising at ARTIC
For ease of reference, attached is a copy of a 2014 memo regarding sign restrictions related to alcohol
advertising at ARTIC. This memo confirms that the State of California Department of Alcohol Beverage
Control (ABC) has interpreted that as long as the exterior advertising is not specifically advertising the
availability of alcohol at an on-site, licensed businesses, the advertising is not in violation of Condition
No. 30 of Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-5492 which states as follows: “There shall be no exterior
advertising of any kind or type, including advertising directed to the exterior from within, promoting or
indicating the availability of alcoholic beverages.”
For clarification, a business name (such as a name that includes “Bar” or “Brewery” or other similar type
of name) does not constitute alcohol advertising and would not be in violation of this requirement.
Clarifications:
Outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at ARTIC (such
as open-air festivals)
Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492 was approved in 2012 per City Council Resolution No. 2012-046
to permit the development and construction of ARTIC. This Resolution includes Condition of Approval
No. 29 which lists the uses allowed at ARTIC which include special events such as open air festivals.
This section is added to clarify in the ARTIC Coordinated Signage Program document that signage in
conjunction with special events at ARTIC (such as open air festivals) is permitted.
Signs Interior to the ARTIC building
In connection with the construction of the ARTIC building, including the improvements associated with
new tenants and transit operators, all signs throughout the interior of the ARTIC building were subject to
the approval of the Public Works Department and include tenant signs, transit operator signs and other
wayfinding and directional signs. Future changes or additions to signs interior to the ARTIC building shall
be subject to the approval of the Public Works Director or her/his designee. For these interior signs,
there is not a specific limitation on the number of signs and total sign area allowed, the maximum
individual signage area and the minimum sign separation. However, all of these new or changed signs
would be subject to the approval of the Public Works Director or her/his designee. The illumination of
said signs would be up to 24 hours.
On- and Off-Premise, Wayfinding and Directional Signs
Ordinance No. _____ establishing the ARTIC Special Sign District includes a definition of “on-premises
advertising displays” signs. For clarification, these signs are also referred to as “on-site” signs in this
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program and can include tenant signs, wayfinding and directional signs within
the ARTIC Special Sign District.
Signs that include off-site advertising are allowed subject to the procedures set forth in Ordinance No.
________. This ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, upon the effective date of Ordinance No. _____,
permits the following signs to have off-site advertising: signs on bus shelters and rail platforms (see
Appendix A, with more detail on these signs in this Appendix E) and digital displays on the two 35-foot
high monument signs for advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or tenants as described in this
Appendix E.

Re: ARTIC Digital Displays in Anaheim
To Whom This May Concern:
The accompanying information pertains to the installed digital displays for ARTIC located on Katella
Ave (double-sided) and Douglas Road (single-sided) in Anaheim. All Daktronics displays are equipped with a light sensor (photocell) that automatically adjusts the sign’s
brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions. The automatic dimming technology allows the ARTIC displays to be dimmed from 100% during a bright sunny afternoon to 4% at night. That
means the sign is only 4% as bright at night as during the daytime. In the event of a photocell failure,
the display will automatically dim to the minimum brightness level, which is 4%.
Daktronics digital displays utilize a louver system over each row of pixels, which assist with producing
directional illumination. The light is produced in an out and downward fashion, which reduces upward illumination (sky glow). This design also limits illumination onto unintended areas.
It is important to note the displays are surrounded by Public Use/Recreation, Commercial, Office and Industrial zones. There are no residential zones within viewing distance of the displays. As a result of
the location and display design, the ARTIC displays do not create excessive illumination or light
pollution and thus, have a minimal impact on the areas surrounding the displays.
Finally, the installed displays can comply with Caltrans message duration requirements, which require
static frames that hold for at least four (4) seconds.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely,
Daktronics, Inc.

RE Sign Restrictions related to Alcohol Advertising at ARTIC
DEV201000043A1CUP201005492
On May 29 2012 the Anaheim City Council adopted Resolution No 2012046
pertaining to Conditional Use Permit No 20105492 for the Anaheim Regional
Transportation Intermodal Center project Conditions of approval were made a part of
this approval and included Condition No 30 provided by the Police Department
requiring that
There shall be no exterior advertising of any kind or type including advertising
directed to the exterior from within promoting or indicating the availability of
alcoholic beverages
Following the approval of the conditional use permit in early 2014 during the Request
for Proposals solicitation to select a firm to provide IndoorOutdoor Advertising Services
Advertiser there was some confusion over the meaning over this condition as to
whether this condition would limit the Advertisers ability to sell advertising space for
alcohol at ARTIC
Since this condition of approval is also a requirement of the State of California
Department of Alcohol Beverage Control ABC Jonathan Borrego Planning Services
Manager at the City of Anaheim contacted Jennifer Ward Supervising Agent ABC
Santa Ana District Office to clarify the meaning of this condition On April 3 2014 Ms
Ward confirmed that ABCs interpretation of the condition is that as long as the exterior
advertising is not advertising onsite licensed businesses the advertising is not in
violation of this requirement

00123).
RESOLUTION NO. PC2015-***
WHEREAS, on September 28, 2010, the City Council of the City of Anaheim (herein
referred to as the "City Council") adopted its Resolution No. 2010-161, certifying the ARTIC Environmental Impact Report No. 2010-00343 ("EIR No. 343") in support of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center ("ARTIC") project, which proposed to relocate the
existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak passenger rail station 0.25 mile east along the existing
Orange County Transportation Authority ("OCTA") railroad right-of-way and included, among
other improvements, the development of an intermodal terminal, a public plaza and drop-off area, tracks, passenger rail boarding platforms, improvements to Douglass Road, and surface parking. The City Council determined that EIR No. 343 addressed the environmental impacts
and mitigation measures associated with the development of the ARTIC project and associated
actions; and
WHEREAS, by motion made on May 29, 2012 in conjunction with its adoption of Resolution No. 2012-046 approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492 to permit the
development and construction of ARTIC, the City Council approved an Addendum to EIR No.
343 (the "First Addendum"). The First Addendum evaluated refinements to the project
description identified in EIR No. 343, including a reduction in building square footage at the intermodal terminal building; a change to an above-grade bus transit facility; the addition of a pedestrian concourse; removal of the Metrolink/Amtrak concourse tunnel; addition of a baggage
tunnel; changes to the platform width and length; reduced width of the Douglass Road Bridge;
and modifications to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue. As part of the refined project, the First
Addendum also evaluated a sponsorship signage program that could include up to 13 pylon signs approximately 85-feet high by 20-feet wide with up to 760 feet of advertising space per sign; and

ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Second Addendum to the ARTIC Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 1-1 Introduction
SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Anaheim proposes to amend the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) to establish the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) Special Sign District (also referred
to as the “District”). This District is proposed to be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program. This project is hereinafter referred to as the “ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project” or the “proposed project”.
The proposed project would add a new Section 4.04.400 (ARTIC Special Sign District) to Chapter 4.04 (Outdoor Advertising Signs and Structures – General) of Title 4 (Business Regulations) to
establish the Special Sign District. The proposed project would also amend Section 18.14.130
(Signs) of Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special-Purpose Zones) of Title 18 (Zoning) and Section 4.08.020 of Chapter 4.08 of Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to be consistent with the
addition of the new Section 4.040.400.
All signs within the ARTIC Special Sign District are required to be in conformance with the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program which is proposed to include previously-approved signs (two 35-foot
high monument signs with static displays for advertisement of on-site activities and or/tenants;
building identity signs; signs on bus shelters and rail platforms that include off-site advertising; and other way-finding, directional and informational signs). It would also permit the two 35-foot
high monument signs to have three digital displays (the double-sided monument sign adjacent to
Katella Avenue would have two digital displays and the single-sided monument sign adjacent to Douglass Road would have one digital display) advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or
tenants. It also clarifies that outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at
ARTIC, such as open-air festivals. The ARTIC Special Sign District also includes a process for amending the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to permit additional signs (on-premise tenant,
wayfinding and directional signs and signs inside the ARTIC building subject to approval by the Public Works Director, with any additional off-site advertising signs or signs with a sponsorship name subject to approval by the City Council).
ARTIC is an approximately 19-acre multi-modal transit facility, owned by the City of Anaheim and located at 2626 East Katella Avenue in the City of Anaheim, California (City). The ARTIC Special
Sign District encompasses approximately 16 acres of the ARTIC site generally bounded by
Katella Avenue to the north, the Santa Ana River to the east, State Route (SR) 57 to the south and Douglass Road to the west. The District does not include the approximately 3 acres of the
ARTIC parking lot west of SR-57. The location of the ARTIC Special Sign District is illustrated in
Exhibit 1, Regional Location and Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity. Exhibit 2 also identifies the location of the two monument signs proposed to have digital displays.
In September 2010, the Anaheim City Council certified the ARTIC Environmental Impact Report
No. 2010-00343 (EIR No. 343). This document was prepared to analyze the environmental impact of the ARTIC project, which proposed to relocate the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak station
0.25 mile east along the existing Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) railroad right-
of-way. The project analyzed by EIR No. 343 included the development of an Intermodal Terminal Building, Public Plaza/Drop Off Area, the Stadium Pavilion, the Tracks/Platforms, Douglass Road
Improvements, and Surface Parking/Access. In addition to surface access points, the ARTIC
project included the construction of a pedestrian bridge over Katella Avenue (connecting the project site and the Honda Center) and a pedestrian trail easement. EIR No. 343 was certified in
conjunction with the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2009-00475, pertaining to the General Plan Circulation Element.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Second Addendum to the ARTIC Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 1-2 Introduction
An Addendum to EIR No. 343 (the “first Addendum”) was prepared in January 2012, to evaluate refinements to the ARTIC project analyzed by EIR No. 343; these refinements include a reduction
in building square footage at the Intermodal Terminal Building; a change to an above-grade bus
transit facility; the addition of a pedestrian concourse; removal of the Metrolink/Amtrak concourse tunnel; addition of a baggage tunnel; changes to the platform width and length; reduced width of
the Douglass Road Bridge; and modifications to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue. As part of
the refined project, the first Addendum also analyzed a sponsorship signage program that could include up to 13 pylon signs approximately 85 feet high by 20 feet wide with up to 760 feet of
advertising space per sign. In May 2012, the Anaheim City Council approved the use of EIR
No. 343 and the first Addendum as the appropriate environmental documentation for the Conditional Use Permit for ARTIC (CUP2010-05492); an amendment to the Platinum Triangle
Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP), pertaining to the landscaping and street cross-sections for
Douglass Road and Katella Avenue (MIS2012-00535); and, a Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA2012-00105) that created criteria and an approval process for signs, including off-site
advertising, in conjunction with a transit facility.
As discussed throughout this second Addendum, the proposed ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project is consistent with EIR No. 343 and its first Addendum
and would not result in any new or greater environmental impacts than previously analyzed in EIR No. 343. The City has elected to prepare this Addendum to EIR No. 343 to confirm that no new
or significantly increased impacts would occur.
The City of Anaheim is the Lead Agency responsible for EIR No. 343, the first Addendum to EIR No. 343, and this second Addendum to EIR No. 343 for the ARTIC Special Sign District and
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project.

Second Addendum to the ARTIC Final Environmental Impact Report No. 343
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 2-1 Purpose of the Document
SECTION 2.0 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
This second Addendum to EIR No. 343 is prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq.)
and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Sections 15000, et seq.). Section 15164(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that “the lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously-certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary
but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred”. Pursuant to Section 15162(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a subsequent EIR
is required when:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which
the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous
EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time
the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was
adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
This document is the second Addendum to EIR No. 343, which was certified by the City of Anaheim in September 2010. The purpose of this second Addendum is to analyze the differences
between the ARTIC project (as evaluated in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum to EIR No. 343)
and the proposed ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project (referred to as “proposed project” in this document). As described in detail herein, an analysis has
been conducted that confirms the impacts from the proposed project would be no more severe
than those projected to result from implementation of the previously approved project. The projected impacts of the proposed project would either be the same or less than the anticipated
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project

levels associated with the approved ARTIC project, as amended, and no new significant impacts would result. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, this
Addendum to the previously certified EIR No. 343 is the appropriate environmental documentation
for the proposed ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 3-1 Project Background
SECTION 3.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) is a multi-modal transit facility located on 19 acres, northeast of State Route 57 (“SR-57”), south of Katella Avenue and west of
the Santa Ana River. ARTIC began construction in September 2012 and opened in December 2014.
As previously discussed in Section 1.0 of this addendum, EIR No. 343 was certified in September
2010 for the ARTIC project. EIR No. 343 analyzed the conceptual development of the transportation facility so that the City could identify any significant environmental impacts prior to
commencing more detailed planning efforts.
In January 2012, the first Addendum to EIR No. 343 was prepared to evaluate revised and more detailed plans for the ARTIC project. In May 2012, the Anaheim City Council approved the use of
EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum as the appropriate environmental documentation for the
Conditional Use Permit for ARTIC (CUP2010-05492); an amendment to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP), pertaining to the landscaping and street cross-sections for
Douglass Road and Katella Avenue (MIS2012-00535); and, a Zoning Code Amendment
(ZCA2012-00105) that created criteria and an approval process for signs in conjunction with a transit facility. The first Addendum to EIR No. 343 concluded that the revised project would have
no greater impact than the impacts previously disclosed in EIR No. 343.
In June 2012, the City Council adopted an ordinance for the above Zoning Code Amendment. This ordinance permitted signs, including off-site advertising signs, in conjunction with a transit
facility to be approved by the Planning Director, subject to the following findings:
• The signs must be part of a coordinated sign program.
• The signs must complement the architecture of the transit facility and provide a unifying element along the streetscape.
• The size, scale and style of the signs shall be internally consistent and consistent with the scale of the transit facility and the surrounding land uses.
In September 2012, the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (MIS2012-00558) was approved by
the Planning Director. The ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program included two 7-foot high by 19.5 feet wide double-sided on-site monument signs adjacent to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue;
building identity signs; bus shelter and train platform signs, which included off-site advertising
panels; and, other wayfinding, directional, and informational signs.
In October 2014, the City of Anaheim, acting as the project applicant, proposed to amend the
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to replace the approved monument signs adjacent to the
Douglass Road and Katella Avenue driveway entrances to ARTIC with two larger (35-foot high) digital monument signs that include off-site advertising and to add a double-sided freeway-
oriented digital billboard. The Planning Director elected to refer the proposed amendment to the
Planning Commission for its review. On November 3, 2014, the Planning Commission denied the request and an appeal was filed for City Council consideration of the request. On November 25,
2014, the City Council approved the two proposed monument signs with static displays, limited to the advertisement of on-site activities or tenants; and, referred back to Planning Commission the
consideration of the digital displays on the monument signs.
The Outdoor Advertising Act (Chapter 2 of the California Business and Professions Code, commencing at Section 5200; hereinafter referred to as the “OAA”) also regulates the size,

S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 3-2 Project Background
illumination, orientation and location of advertising displays within specified distances of interstate or primary highways. With some exceptions, the OAA prohibits “off-premises” advertising displays
(i.e. displays advertising uses not on the site also referred to as “off-site advertising”) from being
placed or maintained within a 660-foot-wide controlled area at the edge of interstate or primary highways. SR-57 and Katella Avenue are “primary highways” and are, therefore, subject to the
regulation of advertising displays under the OAA.
When Senate Bill 694 was approved in 2013, Section 5272.1 was added to the California Business and Professions Code. This Section exempts advertising displays from the OAA that
are located at a publicly-owned multimodal transit facility that serves passenger rail and that is
intended to serve as a station for a high-speed train system. This Section also requires establishment of a Special Sign District to regulate advertising displays at the transit facility. If a
city meets the requirements for exemption under Section 5272.2, revenues from advertising
displays at a publicly-owned multi-modal transit facility are required to be used to support the construction, operation, and maintenance of the multimodal transit facility.

SECTION 4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
4.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The ARTIC site is designated by the Anaheim General Plan for Mixed Use land use and is within
the Semi-Public (SP) Zone and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone. The ARTIC site is developed with a three-story, 120 foot high, 67,000 square foot intermodal transportation terminal. This building will include up to 12,075 square feet of commercial space
for passenger-oriented retail and restaurants. A 456-space parking lot (Parking Lot A) is located in front of the building and a 221-space parking lot (Parking Lot B) is located south of the building
and the adjacent railroad corridor. A 405-space parking lot (Parking Lot C) for the former Anaheim
Amtrak/Metrolink station is located west of SR-57 and adjacent to the Angel Stadium of Anaheim parking lot. It is in the process of being slightly reconfigured and will continue to provide parking
for and access to the ARTIC train platforms. As previously discussed, the ARTIC Special Sign
District encompasses approximately 16 acres of the ARTIC site, not including approximately 3 which comprise the ARTIC parking lot west of SR-57.
The two monument signs, approved by City Council on November 25, 2014, have been
constructed at the existing ARTIC site, in the locations shown on Exhibit 3, Digital Displays Monument Locations. The proposed digital displays were installed as part of the construction of
the monument signs; however, the displays have been covered with static vinyl signs until such
time that they may be permitted. The Katella Avenue monument sign is located at the northeastern most corner of the ARTIC site, on the west side of the Katella Avenue entrance, approximately
1,220 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of SR-57. Land uses surrounding the Katella
Avenue monument sign include Honda Center and its surface parking lots to the north. These properties are designated by the Anaheim General Plan for Mixed Use land use and are within
the Public Recreational (PR) Zone and the PTMU Overlay Zone. Honda Center has two monument signs with digital displays; one sign is adjacent to State Route 57 and the other is adjacent to Katella Avenue. In addition, digital screens are mounted on the south Honda Center
building elevation, which faces ARTIC. The Santa Ana River and City of Orange are located to the east of the ARTIC monument sign on Katella Avenue. Land uses within the City of Orange
immediately to the east of the Santa Ana River include office and light industrial uses. These
properties are designated by the City of Orange General Plan for Urban Mixed Use land use and are within the City of Orange Commercial Recreation (C-R) Zone. A small retail center with a
restaurant is located to the west of the ARTIC monument sign on Katella Avenue. This property
is designated by the Anaheim General Plan for Mixed Use land use and is within the Industrial (I) Zone and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone. Parking Lot A and the ARTIC
building are located to the south of the ARTIC monument sign on Katella Avenue.
The Douglass Road monument sign is located at the Douglass Road entrance to ARTIC, approximately 570 linear feet from the edge of the right-of-way of SR-57. Land uses surrounding
the Douglass Road monument sign include the Ayres Hotel and office and light industrial uses to
the west. These properties are designated by the Anaheim General Plan for Mixed Use land use and are within the Industrial (I) Zone and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone.
The same retail center that is located to the west of the ARTIC monument sign on Katella Avenue
is located to the north of the ARTIC monument sign on Douglass Road. The ARTIC building and Parking Lot A are to the south and east of the ARTIC monument sign on Douglass Road.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 4-2 Project Description
4.2 ARTIC SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT AND ARTIC COORDINATED SIGN PROGRAM
The City of Anaheim proposes to amend the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC) to establish the
ARTIC Special Sign District (also referred to as the “District”). All signs in the District would be
required to be in conformance with the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program.
The proposed project has been prepared in conformance with the criteria and requirements set
forth in Senate Bill 694. ARTIC is a multi-modal facility located on public land and is owned and
operated by the City of Anaheim. It also serves passenger rail and bus transit uses and is designated as a future station for the California High-Speed Rail system. All signs in the District
would be required to be in conformance with the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program.
The proposed project would add a new Section 4.04.400 (ARTIC Special Sign District) to Chapter 4.04 (Outdoor Advertising Signs and Structures – General) of Title 4 (Business Regulations) of
the AMC to establish the Special Sign District. The proposed project would also amend Section
18.14.130 (Signs) of Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special-Purpose Zones) of Title 18 (Zoning) and Section 4.08.020 of Chapter 4.08 of Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to be consistent with
the addition of the new Section 4.040.400.
The ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program is proposed to include previously-approved signs (two 35-foot high monument signs with static displays for advertisement of on-site activities and
or/tenants; building identity signs, signs on bus shelters and rail platforms that include off-site advertising; and, other way-finding, directional and informational signs). It would also permit the
two 35-foot high monument signs to have three digital displays (the double-sided monument sign
adjacent to the Katella Avenue driveway entrance to ARTIC would have two digital displays and the single-sided monument sign adjacent to the Douglass Road driveway entrance to ARTIC
would have one digital display) advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or tenants. It also
clarifies that outdoor signage is permitted in conjunction with special events at ARTIC, such as open-air festivals. The ARTIC Special Sign District also includes a process for amending the
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program to permit additional signs (on-premise tenant, wayfinding and
directional signs and signs inside the ARTIC building subject to approval by the Public Works Director, with any additional off-site advertising signs or signs with a sponsorship name subject
to approval by the City Council). All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with
the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. In general, all future signs to be located inside the ARTIC building and all
directional or wayfinding signs would be consistent with EIR No. 343 and the first and second
addenda; however, any future signs to be located outside of the ARTIC building identifying on-premise tenants and signs advertising off-site uses or activities would be subject to consistency
review. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
The ARTIC Special Sign District is generally bounded by Katella Avenue to the north, the Santa Ana River to the east, State Route (SR) 57 to the south and Douglass Road to the west. The
District does not include the approximately 3 acres of the ARTIC parking lot west of SR-57. The
location of the ARTIC Special Sign District is illustrated in Exhibit 1, Regional Location and Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity. Exhibit 2 also identifies the location of the two monument signs proposed to have
digital displays.
As indicated above, the proposed ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would permit the two existing monument signs to have digital displays advertising on- and off-site uses, activities and/or
tenants. Following is more information about these signs.

ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 4-3 Project Description
As discussed previously, the two monument signs have been constructed at the entrances to ARTIC on Douglass Road and Katella Avenue (refer to Exhibit 3). The Douglass Road monument
sign has a single-sided advertising display face, while the Katella Avenue monument sign has a
double-sided advertising display face, as shown on Exhibit 4, Digital Displays Monument Orientation.
The proposed ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would permit an approximate 10.2-foot by
18.5-foot digital display face, with an approximate area of 190 square feet per display, on each monument sign, as shown on Exhibit 5, Monument Sign Design Details. The digital displays would
operate on a rotation of eight messages, with each message being displayed for a minimum of
eight seconds at a time. Although the primary content of the digital displays would be for on and off-site advertising, the City would have rights to display City-related content on the monument
signs, including Public Service Announcements. There would also be six individual tenant panels
on the lower part of the sign. These panels would be internally illuminated by low-voltage LED’s and are approximately 10.2-foot by 4.5-foot in size, with an approximate area of 46 square feet.
The digital light-emitting diode (LED) displays are intended to operate between 5:00 AM and 1:00 AM, with the capability of operating up to 24 hours a day, depending on demands and/or needs for emergency messaging, such as Amber Alerts and other law enforcement uses. The
digital displays would be operated using proprietary software, and the content and functionality of the signs would be monitored by the use of wirelessly controlled adjustable closed circuit
television (CCTV) cameras.
The displays would be equipped with a light sensor (photocell) that would automatically adjust the sign’s brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions. The automatic dimming
technology allows for the displays to be dimmed from 100 percent during a bright sunny afternoon
to as low as 4 percent at night. In the event of photocell failure, the displays will automatically dim to the minimum brightness level (four percent). The displays would use a louver system over each
row of pixels, which would assist with producing directional illumination.
4.3 DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special
Sign District. All signs within the District would be required to be in conformance with the ARTIC
Coordinated Sign Program. EIR No. 343, the first Addendum to EIR No. 343, and this second Addendum are intended to serve as the primary environmental documents for this amendment,
referred to as Development Project No. (DEV) 2010-00043C and Zoning Code Amendment No.
2015-00123. This request is subject to the review and approval of the Planning Commission and the City Council.
Other permits and actions include the following: certification from the California High Speed Rail Authority that the proposed ordinance establishing the ARTIC Special Sign District meets the minimum requirements set forth in SB 694 including that the multimodal transit facility will be a
future station for the high-speed train system; and, issuance of permits and licenses, as applicable, from Caltrans for signs at ARTIC.
The ARTIC Special Sign District also includes a process for amending the ARTIC Coordinated
Sign Program to permit additional signs (on-premise tenant, wayfinding and directional signs and signs inside the ARTIC building subject to approval by the Public Works Director, with any
additional off-site advertising signs or signs with a sponsorship name subject to approval by the
City Council).

ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-1 Environmental Analysis
SECTION 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This portion of the Addendum examines each environmental topical issue analyzed in EIR No. 343. By definition, an addendum to a CEQA document is intended to demonstrate that the
modifications/alterations to the previously approved project would not substantially increase environmental impacts or create any new significant impacts. The following analysis documents why and how this conclusion has been made. Because the proposed project represents a minor
modification to a previously analyzed and approved project, this Addendum does not include an analysis specific to the Mandatory Findings of Significance topic identified in the City of Anaheim
Environmental Checklist.
5.1 AESTHETICS
5.1.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, the designated scenic vista in the vicinity of the ARTIC site is the Santa
Ana River, and the Santa Ana River Trail is designated as an open space area. The trail is located
on both sides of the Santa Ana River and adjacent to the ARTIC site. The San Bernardino Mountain Range (located 20 miles to the north) and the Santiago Hills (located 8 miles to the east)
are designated scenic vistas that are visible from the ARTIC project site. Views of these scenic
resources are partially obstructed by existing infrastructure and development, including the Honda Center, multi-story buildings, and overhead utility lines. Users on the Santa Ana River Trail are
identified as sensitive view receptors in the area. EIR No. 343 determined that the ARTIC project
would not obstruct views of the Santa Ana River from the trail due to its location west of both the river and the trail.
EIR No. 343 also identified residents of the Avalon Anaheim Stadium condominiums, located approximately 0.5 mile west of the ARTIC terminal, as sensitive view receptors. However, EIR No. 343 determined that the ARTIC project would not impact views from the condominiums,
including views of the San Bernardino Mountain Range to the north or the Santiago Hills to the east.
The first Addendum to EIR No. 343 concluded that "[t]he sponsorship and signage program
elements would not impact sensitive receptors on the Santa Ana River Trail, as the Santiago Hills and San Bernardino Mountain range are to the east." In addition, the Addendum continued by
stating that the Santiago Hills and San Bernardino Mountain range view corridor for the Avalon
Anaheim Stadium condominium residents would not be impacted because the signage would "simply be structures added to an already developed visual landscape . . . ." and the "additional
changes" representing the revised ARTIC project, which included the sponsorship and signage
program, "would not add light, glare, and shadows separate from what was evaluated in the Final EIR."
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-2 Environmental Analysis
5.1.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State scenic highway or local scenic
expressway, scenic highway, or eligible scenic highway?
Consistent with the findings of EIR No. 343, the project site and surrounding area are located in
a highly urbanized portion of the City. As discussed previously, the only scenic vista that is visible from the ARTIC project site is the Santa Ana River. However, this portion of the river lacks
vegetation and is channelized with concrete banks and is manipulated for water infiltration. The San Bernardino Mountain Range is located over 20 miles to the north and can be seen in the
distance. The Santiago Hills are visible from surrounding uses, but cannot be viewed from the
ARTIC site. The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for
future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Because the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program incorporates
previously-approved signs, the proposed digital displays on the monument signs are already in
place, and the proposed project would not modify the height or bulk of the existing monument signs, the proposed project actions would not involve any actions that would obstruct views of
visible scenic vistas. Further, the ARTIC project site, including the two existing monument signs,
are not visible from any State or local scenic highways. No impacts related to adverse effects on a scenic vista or damaging scenic resources along a designated or eligible scenic highway would
occur with implementation of the proposed project. The proposed project would not create a new
significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
Development of the proposed project would not substantially alter the visual character of the project site or the overall ARTIC site. As discussed previously, the ARTIC site is located in a
highly urbanized area and is part of a lively, urban environment. The ARTIC terminal, Angel Stadium, and the Honda Center are the most prominent visual features in the area. The site is
subject to a variety of night lighting associated with the surrounding land uses and largely lacks
vegetation, except for ornamental trees and shrubs. The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be
implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on
the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. The addition of the
digital displays would be consistent with the existing urban development in the project area,
including a variety of lighted signs associated with development in the project area. Therefore, a significant impact would not occur related to degradation of the existing visual character or quality
of the site or its surroundings. No new impact would occur.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day
or nighttime views in the area?
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special
Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction

Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-3 Environmental Analysis
of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. The digital displays would create new lighting sources on the project site. As
discussed previously, the ARTIC site is located in a highly urbanized area and is part of a lively,
urban environment that is subject to night lighting, including other signs with digital displays at Honda Center and Angel Stadium, stadium and parking lot lighting, and light from area roadways
and the SR-57. The nearest light-sensitive uses would be users of the Santa Ana River Trail,
located adjacent to the existing Katella Avenue monument sign. It should be noted, however, that the Santa Ana River Trail is currently subject to a substantial amount of night lighting from the
same land uses identified previously. The digital displays would also be visible to passing
motorists and vehicle passengers; however, their exposure would be limited in duration and the digital displays would blend in with existing night lighting that is characteristic of the area.
A light analysis was prepared for the proposed digital displays on the two monument signs to
assess potential impacts related to light or glare (Daktronics 2014). According to the description of the sign displays and as accounted for in the light analysis, the digital displays would
automatically adjust the sign’s brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions, which would allow the digital displays to be dimmed from 100 percent during a bright sunny afternoon to 4 percent at night. The displays would also be equipped with a louver system over each row of
pixels, which would assist with producing directional illumination. This would allow light to be directed in an out and downward fashion, thereby reducing upward illumination (also known as
“sky glow”) and limiting the amount of illumination onto unintended areas. As illustrated on Exhibit
6, Katella Avenue Monument Illumination Levels, and Exhibit 7, Douglass Road Monument Illumination Levels, at four percent of Maximum Daytime Brightness (or the level anticipated on
an average night), the digital displays would result in a nominal amount of illumination. At a
distance of 150 feet from the digital display, visible lighting levels would be less than 0.5 foot-candle where 1 foot-candle is a unit of illuminance that represents the light of 1 candle. This
means that at this distance, less than 50 percent of the light from a single wax candle as viewed
from one foot away would be visible. At greater distances, the levels of illumination would decrease. Therefore, with the technology of the digital displays, impacts associated with light and
glare would not be significant and would not substantially increase the amount of night lighting in
the vicinity of the project site, including along the Santa Ana River Trail. Therefore, a significant impact would not occur related to light or glare. No new impact would occur.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the aesthetics analysis provided in EIR
No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.

5.2 AGRICULTURE & FOREST RESOURCES
5.2.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
As detailed in EIR No. 343, agriculture and forest resources were determined not to be significant. The ARTIC project site and the surrounding area are designated as Urban and Built-Up Land as
shown on the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. ARTIC and the surrounding area do
not contain Prime, Unique, or Statewide Important Farmlands. It was determined that ARTIC would not convert any farmlands to a non-agricultural use. There are no properties designated for
farmlands in the immediate vicinity of ARTIC and the City has not designated the surrounding
area to be placed under Williamson Act contract lands. Therefore, it was determined that implementation of the proposed project would not conflict with a standing Williamson Act contract.
In addition, EIR No. 343 states that there are no zoned forest lands, timberlands, or Timberland Production areas on the ARTIC site or in the vicinity of ARTIC. Therefore, the project evaluated in EIR No. 343 would not result in the conversion of forest land or timberland.
5.2.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in
Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as
defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
Data from the California Department of Conservation’s Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program indicates that the project site contains no land that is designated as Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Local Importance
(FMMP 2010), nor does it have any land that is zoned for agricultural use. The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital
displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. These
signs are located within the project boundaries evaluated in EIR No. 343. The project site is not
considered to be farmland of significance or land in agricultural use. Therefore, implementation

S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-5 Environmental Analysis
of the proposed project would not result in conversion of any farmland to non-agricultural uses. No other designated farmland exists in the project vicinity, and the project site is not subject to
any California Land Conservation Act (Williamson Act) contracts.
The project site is not defined as forest land according to Section 12220(g) of the California Public
Resources Code, which defines forest land as “land that can support 10 percent native tree cover
of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management
of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits”, nor is it zoned for Timberland Production as defined
by Section 51104(g) of the California Government Code. There are no zoned forest lands,
timberlands, or Timberland Production areas on the ARTIC site or in the vicinity of the ARTIC site. Implementation of the proposed project would not affect any designated forest land, timberland,
or Timberland Production areas.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes;
(2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and (3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the agriculture and forest resources analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.3 AIR QUALITY
5.3.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
EIR No. 343 concluded that, with implementation of all identified mitigation measures, emissions resulting from construction-related activities would be less than significant. Long-term operational emissions were determined to be less than significant without mitigation. However, cumulative air
quality impacts were identified for ARTIC in combination with the SR-57 Northbound Widening Project. Mitigation measures were identified to reduce cumulative impacts to a less than
significant level.
Construction and operation of the ARTIC project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant toxic air contaminants (TACs) and would not expose sensitive receptors to
substantial carbon monoxide (CO) local concentrations. EIR No. 343 determined that potential
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-6 Environmental Analysis
odors from construction activities such as vehicle exhaust and VOC from asphalt paving and architectural coating could occur; however, impacts related to potential odors were identified as
less than significant. EIR No. 343 determined that these impacts would be less than significant.
5.3.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
Air quality in Orange County is regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which is the agency principally responsible for comprehensive air pollution control in
the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). The SCAQMD develops rules and regulations; establishes
permitting requirements for stationary sources; inspects emissions sources; and enforces such measures through educational programs or fines, when necessary. The SCAQMD is directly
responsible for reducing emissions from stationary (area and point), mobile, and indirect sources.
It has responded to this requirement by preparing a sequence of Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs).
On December 7, 2012, the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted the 2012 AQMP, which is a regional and multi-agency effort among the SCAQMD, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The two principal criteria for conformance to an AQMP are
1. Whether the project would result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air
quality violations; cause or contribute to new violations, or delay timely attainment of air quality standards and
2. Whether the project would exceed the assumptions in the AQMP.
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction
of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. With respect to the first criterion, the proposed project would not generate short-term
or long-term emissions of criteria pollutants that could potentially cause an increase in the
frequency or severity of existing air quality violations; cause or contribute to new violations; or delay timely attainment of air quality standards. Future construction of signs pursuant to the
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and
would generate a small number of short-term, construction-related vehicle trips. All future proposed signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional
Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
With respect to the second criterion, the proposed project would not increase or modify SCAG’s population, housing, or employment projections. Therefore, the proposed project would be
consistent with the region’s AQMP. No impacts would occur and no mitigation is required. The
proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-7 Environmental Analysis
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
Emissions associated with short-term construction activities and long-term operations contribute
to air quality impacts. Construction emissions include exhaust emissions from off-road construction equipment, on-road haul trucks, and vehicles used by workers to commute to and
from the site. Operational emissions result from increases in vehicle trips during operation of a
project. The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program
(including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future
construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Construction of future signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would generate a small
number of short-term, construction-related vehicle trips. Additionally, there are no vehicle trips associated with permitting the digital displays on the monument signs so the proposed project
would not result in an increase in operational emissions. Therefore, the proposed project would not violate an air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. Because no impact would occur for the proposed project, this would be less than the air quality
impacts that were identified in EIR No. 343 for the ARTIC project; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or result in a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses
and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be
required.
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient
air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative
thresholds for ozone precursors)?
As discussed previously, the proposed project would involve construction of future signs pursuant
to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program; however, these activities would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would generate a small number of short-term, construction-
related vehicle trips. Therefore, there would be a nominal contribution to regional emissions and
the cumulative impact would be less than significant. The impacts identified for the proposed project would be less than those identified in EIR No. 343 for the ARTIC project; therefore, the
proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second
Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be
required.
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Sensitive receptors include areas that are commonly occupied by people that may be more
susceptible to health issues caused by air quality. Typical sensitive receptors include residents,
school children, the elderly, and hospital patients. The nearest sensitive receptors to the project site include Santa Ana River Trail users, outdoor diners at JT Schmid’s Restaurant and Brewery,
and guests at the Ayres Hotel. Although future development of residential uses is permitted on
the ARTIC site, there are no approved residential projects. The nearest existing residential areas are located more than 0.4 mile from the project site. As discussed previously, the proposed project
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-8 Environmental Analysis
would involve construction of future signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program; however, these activities would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would
generate a small number of short-term, construction-related vehicle trips. The impacts identified
for the proposed project would be less than significant, which would be less than those identified in EIR No. 343. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be
subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs
are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further
environmental documentation would be required.
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
According to the SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD 1993), land uses associated
with odor complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass
molding facilities. The proposed project does not include any uses identified by the SCAQMD as being associated with odors and therefore would not produce objectionable odors. Construction of future signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would involve a negligible
amount of construction activity and would result in minimal amounts of vehicle exhaust or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As such, the proposed project would have a less than significant
impact in regards to objectionable odors. This impact identified for the proposed project would be
less than identified in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future
signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation
Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these
documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2)
would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and (3)
would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt
the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation measures or alternatives which are
considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For these reasons, there are no
major revisions required to the air quality analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.

5.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
5.4.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
As described in EIR No. 343, the ARTIC project site is located within a highly urbanized area of
the City and is characterized by paved parking areas, buildings, railroad tracks, and ornamental
landscaping. While not part of the ARTIC project site, the Santa Ana River is located east of ARTIC and does not support native riparian or wetland vegetation communities. No sensitive plant
species occur within the ARTIC project area, including those listed or candidates for listing by
California Department of Fish and Wildlife1 (CDFW), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and/or the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). No riparian habitat, sensitive natural
community, or designated critical habitat occurs on or adjacent to ARTIC. There are no federal or
State jurisdictional wetlands or wildlife corridors on the ARTIC. The ARTIC project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources or with an adopted
habitat conservation plan. However, mitigation was identified to reduce potential impacts to nesting birds and raptors to less than significant levels.
5.4.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications,
on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local
or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Services?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool,
coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other
means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish
or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such
as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat
conservation plan?
The proposed project would not involve the disturbance of any biological resources as none were identified to exist on the ARTIC project site. Because the proposed project would amend the
Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be
implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on
1 California Department of Fish and Wildlife is previously known, and referred to in EIR No. 343, as the California
Department of Fish and Game.

the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description, there would be no
impacts to biological resources. Consistent with the findings of EIR No. 343, no special status
plant or wildlife species are expected to occur on the site due to the developed nature of the project site; there are no sensitive biological resources due to the lack of vegetation on the project
site and the urban nature of the surrounding area. The proposed project would not conflict with
the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan; Natural Community Conservation Plan; or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan since no habitat, wetlands,
or corridors are present on the project site or nearby. The impacts would be the same as those
identified in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the biological resources analysis provided
in the EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
5.5.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
EIR No. 343 identified three potentially significant historical resources within the vicinity of the
ARTIC: (1) Angel Stadium, (2) the Big “A” Scoreboard, and (3) the Douglass Road Rail Bridge/Rail Alignment.
Angel Stadium’s direct connection with Gene Autry as the former owner has the potential to qualify
it for eligibility under the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). However, as determined in EIR No. 343, Angel Stadium is too altered to convey this association with Gene
Autry; therefore, it is considered ineligible for the CRHR and the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP).
The Big “A” Scoreboard appears eligible for the CRHR due to its iconic association with the
California Angels; due to its associations to Gene Autry; and due to its scale, aspirational lines,

Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-11 Environmental Analysis
themed lighting and high technology for its time. The Big “A” Scoreboard is considered a historic resource pursuant to Section 15064.5(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. However, EIR No. 343
indicated that, because the Big “A” Scoreboard is located more than 300 feet outside the ARTIC
project area and is partially separated from the ARTIC project area by SR-57, no direct impacts to this historical resource would occur with implementation of the ARTIC project.
The Douglass Road Rail Bridge is part of the BNSF rail alignment and does not appear to meet
local, State, or federal level significance criteria for historic resources and is not considered a historic resource pursuant to Section 15064.5(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The rail line within
the Douglass Road Rail Bridge was evaluated in 2002 and found ineligible for federal, State or
local designations. In 2007, it was reevaluated and the finding of ineligibility was affirmed. The rail line is not a historic resource pursuant to Section 15064.5(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
No archaeological or paleontological resources or unique geologic features were identified within
the ARTIC project area. However, the potential for unknown archaeological and paleontological resources to be uncovered during construction was identified. Mitigation was identified to reduce
potential impacts to archaeological and paleontological impacts to less than significant levels.
EIR No. 343 identified that the ARTIC project was not expected to disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal cemeteries. However, mitigation was identified in the event
unknown human remains are uncovered during grading.
5.5.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines and/or identified on the Qualified
Historic Structures list of the Anaheim Colony Historic District Preservation Plan
(July 20, 1999)?
As described above, three historic resources were identified in EIR No. 343; however, only the Big “A” Scoreboard was determined to be eligible as a historic resource.
A light analysis was prepared (Daktronics 2014) to evaluate the illumination levels of the digital displays on the two monument signs (the digital displays on the two monument signs are included in the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program). The west-facing digital display on the Katella Avenue
sign would have an illumination level of 0.01 at 1,000 feet in the direction of the Big “A” Scoreboard. This is interpreted as only one percent of the light from a single wax candle as viewed
from one foot away. Because the Katella Avenue monument sign is nearly 2,000 feet to the north
of the Big “A” Scoreboard, the impact from the digital displays to the scoreboard would be less than significant. The Douglass Road monument sign would have a single-sided digital display
face that is oriented to the north, away from Angel Stadium and the Big “A” Scoreboard; therefore,
the digital display proposed for the Douglass Road monument sign would have no impact on the Angel Stadium or the Big “A” Scoreboard. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new
significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future
proposed signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto;
therefore, it can be assumed that future signs would also have no impact on the Angel Stadium
or the Big “A” Scoreboard. Should it be determined that a future proposed sign is not consistent with the findings of these documents, further environmental analysis would be required.

b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to §15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Because the proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC
Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future
construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section
4.0, Project Description, there would be no ground disturbance with project implementation beyond what was already evaluated in EIR No. 343. Therefore, the proposed project would not
have the potential to encounter an unknown archaeological, paleontological resource or a unique
geologic formation. This impact would be less than what was identified in EIR No. 343, and the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes;
(2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and (3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt
the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation measures or alternatives which are
considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For these reasons, there are no
major revisions required to the cultural resources analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS
5.6.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
EIR No. 343 identified that there are no known active faults on the ARTIC project site, nor is ARTIC located within a California Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The potential for future
surface fault rupture, seismic ground shaking, and landslides at ARTIC was determined to be
low/less than significant. ARTIC is located within a California Hazard Zone for liquefaction; however, compliance with site-specific engineering recommendations reduced potential
liquefaction impacts to less than significant. However, the Santa Ana River has the potential to be
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-13 Environmental Analysis
affected by slope instability and lateral spreading due to liquefaction. The ARTIC site would be affected by potential slope instability of the Santa Ana River embankment. Conformance with
applicable regulations and requirements—including the California Building Code, Orange County
Building and Safety Department Code, the National Engineering Handbook, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) guidance documents, and Southern
California Regional Railway Authority (SCRRA) standards—would reduce impacts to less than
significant.
As noted in EIR No. 343, the ARTIC site is located in a relatively flat area with minimal potential
for erosion impacts due to the high amount of urban development and low amount of bare ground.
However, during demolition and construction activities when areas are exposed to erosion and loss of topsoil, adherence to the following would ensure that impacts would be less than
significant: local and State codes and requirements for erosion control and grading; compliance
with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit; and the subsequent development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Additionally, expansive soils are known to exist in the ARTIC. The potential for expansive soils at shallow depth is low; subterranean excavations may encounter medium expansion potential. Implementation of mitigation requiring adherence to measures requiring detailed foundation
design and preparation of a report to analyze foundation excavations would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels.
5.6.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-
Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area
or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of
Mines and Geology Special Publication 42?
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
iv) Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable
as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral
spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
Seismic risk, soil erosion, loss of topsoil, potential for liquefaction and landslides, and unstable
soils at the ARTIC project site were comprehensively analyzed as part of the previous
environmental documentation and nothing has changed related to local geologic conditions. The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign
District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project
Description. There would be no ground disturbance associated with the proposed project beyond
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-14 Environmental Analysis
what was already evaluated in EIR No. 343. The proposed project would not result in the any changes to the geologic conditions already evaluated in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed
project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative
wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
wastewater?
Consistent with the analysis in EIR No. 343, the proposed project would not involve the use of
septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems. The proposed project would not create
a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and (3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the geology and soils analysis provided
in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.7 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
5.7.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
EIR No. 343 concluded that the ARTIC project would not conflict with applicable regulations and policies adopted for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and would result
in less than significant impacts to GHG emissions. Mitigation was not required and impacts related to GHG emissions were determined to be less than significant.
5.7.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the environment?
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-15 Environmental Analysis
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction
of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would
involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would generate a small number of short-
term, construction-related vehicle trips. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in GHG emissions associated with construction activities. The proposed project would require additional
electrical energy to operate the digital displays. However, as indicated in Section 4.0, Project
Description, energy-efficient LED lights would be used for the digital displays and any incremental increase in energy usage over what was identified in EIR No. 343 would be negligible. Therefore,
no new impacts would occur and the proposed project would not create a new significant impact
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center
EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
There are numerous State plans, policies, and regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing
GHG emissions. The principal overall State plan and policy is Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The quantitative goal of AB 32 is to reduce GHG
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Statewide plans and regulations such as GHG emissions
standards for vehicles (AB 1493), the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and regulations requiring an increasing fraction of electricity to be generated from renewable sources are being implemented
at the statewide level; as such, compliance at the project level is not addressed. Therefore, the
proposed project does not conflict with those plans and regulations.
As discussed previously, the proposed project would result in an incremental increase in energy
usage, which would result in a negligible increase in GHG emissions when compared to the
overall ARTIC project. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with AB 32, and it can be concluded that the proposed project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation
of State, regional, or local agencies. This impact would be less than significant. This is consistent
with what was identified in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes;
(2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For

these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the greenhouse gas emissions analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
5.8.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, ARTIC is located on or adjacent to sites of potential environmental
concern that have the potential to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. With implementation of mitigation, including appropriate sampling prior to disposal of excavation
soil, potential impacts related to hazardous materials on or near the ARTIC area would be reduced
to less than significant.
5.8.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
As discussed in Section 4.0, Project Description, the proposed project would amend the Anaheim
Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing
monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated
Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Due to the nature of the proposed project, no construction or operational activities would occur that would involve regular transport,
use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Further, the project would not generate any hazardous
emissions. Therefore, no impacts related to creation of hazards to the public or environment would occur, including hazardous emissions or handling of hazardous materials within ¼ mile of a
school. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the
First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-17 Environmental Analysis
Section 65962.5(a)(2) requires that the Department of Toxic Substances Control compile and update a list of all hazardous substance release sites. This list is known as the Envirostor
database (CalEPA 2011). Based on review of the current Envirostor list, there are no identified
sites within the ARTIC site or in the surrounding vicinity and no impact would occur related to a listed hazardous materials site creating a significant hazard to the public or environment (CalEPA
2012). No new impacts related to hazardous materials sites are anticipated and no additional
mitigation is required.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan (Los Alamitos Armed Forces
Reserve Center or Fullerton Municipal Airport), would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, heliport or helistop, would the
project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
The project site is not within an adopted Airport Land Use Plan or located in the vicinity of a private airstrip, heliport, or helistop. The nearest helistop is located 0.5 mile southwest of the project site.
No new impacts are anticipated.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
According to the City of Anaheim General Plan’s Safety Element (May 2004), the City has an emergency preparedness plan that complies with State law and that interfaces with other cities
and counties in Southern California. Project implementation would neither impair implementation
of, nor would it interfere with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan because there would be no changes to local roadways or the circulation network. The proposed project
would not generate a substantial amount of traffic and would not create roadway segment or
intersection deficiencies that would affect an emergency response or evacuation plan. Thus, the impacts of the proposed project would be less than those assumed in EIR No. 343; therefore, the
proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified effects.
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where
residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The project site is located in an urban area surrounded by development and would not be subject
to wildland fire risks. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation

measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the hazards and hazardous materials analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
5.9.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, short-term construction-related and long-term operational water quality
impacts would be reduced through implementation of a Water Quality Management Plan and best management practices. Because the ARTIC site, prior to project implementation, was almost
entirely covered with impermeable (paved) surfaces that had been subject to previous disturbance, EIR No. 343 found that the ARTIC would not significantly modify the existing drainage area or drainage patterns.
Although the ARTIC site is located within the 100-year Zone A flood zone, it was determined that the source of flooding, the Santa Ana River, is channelized in the project vicinity and would not
represent a flood hazard. Further, the project did not propose any housing; therefore, no impacts
related to placing housing within a floodplain would occur.
5.9.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a
lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-
existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land
uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would
result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase
the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on-
or off-site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-19 Environmental Analysis
k) Substantially degrade water quality by contributing pollutants from areas of
material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance
(including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials handling, or storage,
delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor work areas?
l) Substantially degrade water quality by discharge which affects the beneficial uses
(i.e., swimming, fishing, etc.) of the receiving or downstream waters?
As discussed in Section 4.0, Project Description, the proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the
ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing
monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program. Future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program
would involve a negligible amount of construction activity within areas that have already been
subject to disturbance associated with ARTIC construction. Therefore, no impacts related to short-term, construction-related water quality impacts would occur. Physical changes associated with
the construction of new signs would be minor in nature and would not alter existing drainage patterns.
Further, the proposed project modifications would not impact water quality on a long-term,
operational basis due to the nature of the project. Daily operation of digital displays on two monument signs and the construction of additional signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign
Program would not degrade water quality, nor would it alter groundwater and surface hydrology.
Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects related to water quality, groundwater,
drainage, or storm drain capacity. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with
the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses
and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be
required.
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood
Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation
map?
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect
flood flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
Consistent with the analysis in EIR No. 343, the project site is located adjacent to the 100-year Zone A flood zone. This potential flood zone, the Santa Ana River, is channelized and protected by an upstream levee system. According to EIR No. 343, the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
map considers the 100-year flood hazard area to be contained within the channel. Adjacent areas are not likely at risk. The FIRM map notes that overtopping and/or failure of the levee system or
channel is possible. Also consistent with EIR No. 343, the proposed project would not involve
development of any habitable areas or structures; therefore implementation of the proposed project would not place housing or structures within a 100-year flood hazard area or expose
people or structures to significant risks associated with flooding. Therefore, due to the nature of
the proposed project and because the project site is in the same location as previously analyzed in EIR No. 343, a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-20 Environmental Analysis
identified effects would not be created in relation to the 100-year flood hazard area from the proposed project.
j) Inundation by seiche or mudflow?
Consistent with the analysis in EIR No. 343, the project site is not located near any large, enclosed bodies of water that would cause a seiche. Additionally, the project site is in a generally flat area
that experiences such a slight change in elevation that it would not be subject to mudflows. As a
result, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact and
it would not cause a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard
to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken; and (3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and
that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the hydrology and water quality analysis
provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.

a) Physically divide an established community?
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-21 Environmental Analysis
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project
Description. Because no ground disturbance would occur beyond what was already evaluated in
EIR No. 343, no additional land uses would be affected by the proposed project, the proposed project would not physically divide an established community. Consistent with the findings of EIR
No. 343, no impact would occur; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant
impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal
Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that
future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with
jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific
plan or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
The ARTIC project, as evaluated in EIR No. 343 and its subsequent 2012 Addendum, is located within Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle area, which generally surrounds and includes Angel Stadium,
Honda Center, and the Grove of Anaheim. The ARTIC site and the area directly across Katella Avenue to the north and west across the SR-57 are designated by the Anaheim General Plan for
Mixed Use land use. According to the Anaheim General Plan, the Mixed Use designation is
designed to function differently from the typical patterns of individual, segregated land uses by providing opportunities for an integrated mix of residential, retail, service, entertainment, and
office opportunities in a pedestrian-friendly environment. The scale, size, and mixture of uses in
the mixed-use areas vary based on the character of the surrounding area. The ARTIC monument sign digital displays are similar to digital displays in the Platinum Triangle at Angel Stadium and
Honda Center.
City of Anaheim General Plan
The City of Anaheim General Plan provides the overall vision and framework for future
development of the City. An evaluation of the proposed project’s consistency with the Land Use
Element, the Green Element, and the Community Design Element is provided below.
Land Use Element
• Land Use Element Goal 3.1 – Pursue land uses along major corridors that enhance the City’s image and stimulate appropriate development at strategic locations.
o Policy 3 – Ensure quality development along corridors through adherence to
established development standards and Community Design Element goals, policies and guidelines.
• Land Use Element Goal 4.1 – Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts to surrounding land uses.
• Land Use Element Goal 15.1 – Establish The Platinum Triangle as a thriving economic center that provides residents, visitors, and employees with a variety of housing,
employment, shopping, and entertainment opportunities that are accessed by arterial
highways, transit systems, and pedestrian promenades.
o Maximize views and recreational and development opportunities afforded by the
area’s proximity to the Santa Ana River.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-22 Environmental Analysis
The proposed project would introduce new light sources in the area; however, the area is urbanized with existing ambient street and parking lighting and digital signage exists in the
surrounding mixed-use areas. While the Katella Avenue monument sign is closest to the Santa
Ana River and the Santa Ana River Trail, as evaluated in Section 5.1, the lighting analysis determined that the effect to surrounding land uses is considered less than significant. As
described below, the proposed project would be consistent with the development standards and
goals, policies, and guidelines of the Community Design Element. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with the above applicable goals and policies of the Land Use Element.
Green Element
Conserving natural resources is a fundamental part of the Green Element. The following goal is applicable to the proposed project:
• Green Element Goal 2.1 – Preserve views of ridgelines, natural open space, and other scenic vistas wherever possible.
The proposed project would be consistent Goal 2.1 of the Green Element as it would not block
views of any ridgelines, natural open space or other scenic vistas. Scenic vistas in the area include Santiago Hills, the San Bernardino Mountains, and the Santa Ana River. As described in Section
5.1, the proposed project’s effect on these scenic resources would be less than significant. The
proposed project would be consistent with the applicable goal of the Green Element.
Community Design Element
Creating a positive and strong community identity for such a large and diverse area is the goal of the Community Design Element. The following goals and policies are applicable to the proposed project:
• Community Design Element Goal 1.1 – Create an aesthetically pleasing and unified community appearance within the context of distinct districts and neighborhoods.
• Community Design Element Goal 2.1 – Attractively landscape and maintain Anaheim’s major arterial corridors and prepare/implement distinctive streetscape improvement plans.
o Policy 4 – Ensure adherence to sign regulations, which address issues of scale, type, design, materials, placement, compatibility, and maintenance for uses along freeways, toll roads, and major arterial corridors.
• Community Design Element Goal 10.1 – Anaheim sign guidelines address distinctive, appropriately-scaled and/or coordinated signs throughout commercial, industrial and
mixed-use areas.
o Policy 3 – Discourage and/or prohibit the use of pole signs, roof signs (except in
downtown MU [Mixed Use] overlay zone), temporary lettering of window signs,
blinking or flashing signs, and temporary signs.
The proposed project area is an urbanized mixed-use area that is part of the overall ARTIC project
site. While Policy 3 of Community Design Element Goal 10.1 discourages the use of blinking or
flashing lights, the proposed project would be similar to existing signs at Honda Center and Angel Stadium, which both have digital display components. In addition, Katella Avenue is major
roadway with street lights and facility parking lights associated with ARTIC and the Honda Center.
The digital displays on the two monument signs will not be permitted to have scrolling, animation, flashing or movement effects. As detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description, the digital displays
would operate on a rotation of eight messages, with each message being displayed for a minimum
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-23 Environmental Analysis
of eight seconds at a time. The digital LED displays and tenant panels are intended to operate between 5:00 AM and 1:00 AM, with the capability of operating up to 24 hours a day, depending
on demands and/or needs for emergency messaging, such as Amber Alerts and other law
enforcement uses. The displays would be equipped with a light sensor (photocell) that would automatically adjust the sign’s brightness in direct correlation with ambient light conditions. The
automatic dimming technology allows for the displays to be dimmed from 100 percent during a
bright sunny afternoon to as low as 4 percent at night. In the event of photocell failure, the displays will automatically dim to the minimum brightness level (four percent). The displays would use a
louver system over each row of pixels, which would assist with producing directional illumination.
The proposed project would adhere to all applicable digital display regulations and would be consistent with applicable goals and policies of the Community Design Element.
City of Orange General Plan Land Use Element
The City of Orange General Plan Land Use Element provides an overview of land use designations throughout the City, including a range of density or intensity, an expected rate of
density or intensity, and a description of the land use designation. The proposed project is not located within the City of Orange and is not subject to objectives set forth in the City of Orange General Plan. However, due to the proximity of the City of Orange, consistency with the Urban
Mixed Use designation is considered.
According to the Land Use Element, the Urban Mixed Use (UMIX) designation calls for
“Urban, high-intensity, regionally-oriented activity centers that define the character of
surrounding areas and serve as gateways to the City. This designation provides for integrated commercial retail, high-rise office, housing, and civic uses. Commercial retail is
intended to be the primary use on the ground floor. Convenient, high-frequency transit
access, innovative housing options, and pedestrian-oriented design are key considerations.”
Implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the City of Orange UMIX
designation, which is intended to create urban, high-intensity, regionally-oriented activity centers. As discussed previously, the proposed project would introduce new light sources in the area;
however, the area is urbanized with existing ambient street and parking lighting and digital
signage exists in the surrounding mixed-use areas. As evaluated in Section 5.1, the lighting analysis determined that the effect to surrounding land uses is considered less than significant.
Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan and Anaheim Zoning Code (Anaheim Municipal
Code Title 18)
The Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP) is the overarching land use plan for the
820-acre Platinum Triangle, which has 2 championship professional sports teams, 3 freeways, a major transportation hub, dining and entertainment, and millions of square feet of new development opportunities for office, restaurant, and residential projects. The PTMLUP is
intended to enhance this dynamic mix of uses and provide cohesion through innovative design standards and a carefully planned network of pedestrian walkways, streetscape improvements,
and recreation spaces.
The PTMLUP identifies several mixed use districts including the ARTIC District, which encompasses the ARTIC project site; the Arena District, which is located to the north of Katella
Avenue; and, the Katella District, which incorporates the area west of Douglass Road and a small
portion on the southeast corner of Douglass Road and Katella Avenue, as well as properties along Katella Avenue, between SR-57 and Interstate 5.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-24 Environmental Analysis
All of the mixed use districts are within the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, which implements the General Plan Mixed Use land use designation. Property owners with
properties within the PTMU Overlay Zone may develop their properties in accordance with the
PTMU Overlay Zone or the underlying zone. The proposed project is located in the ARTIC District, which has an underlying zoning of Semi-Public (SP). The Arena District has an underlying zoning
of Public Recreation (PR). The areas of the Katella District immediately adjacent to the proposed
project site have an underlying zoning of Industrial (I). Implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the PTMLUP and the PTMU Overlay Zone, which are intended to create
a vibrant mixed-use urban community.
In addition, the SP Zone, under which the ARTIC project was developed, has specific design criteria for signs in conjunction with a transit facility. These signs are subject to the following
findings:
• The signs must be part of a coordinated sign program.
• The signs must complement the architecture of the transit facility and provide a unifying element along the streetscape.
• The size, scale and style of the signs shall be internally consistent and consistent with the scale of the transit facility and the surrounding land uses.
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special
Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction
of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project
Description. This amendment would replace the sign provisions for transit facilities in Chapter 18.14 of Title 18 (Zoning) of the AMC with a new Section 4.04.400 to Chapter 4 of the AMC
establishing the ARTIC Special Sign District. This District would incorporate the same findings for
signs in conjunction with a transit facility listed in the previous paragraph. These digital displays would be compatible with existing signs with digital displays at Honda Center and Angel Stadium.
As a result, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and
the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental
documentation would be required.
ARTIC Mixed-Use District Conceptual Development Guidelines
The ARTIC Mixed-Use District Conceptual Development Guidelines provide urban design
recommendations for the ARTIC Mixed-Use District, which includes the monument signs at
Katella Avenue and Douglass Road. Consistent with the established guidelines, the digital displays on the existing monument signs would be compatible with the scale of the ARTIC
development. As discussed previously, the ARTIC is developed as a mixed-use, lively area that
is subject to a variety of night lighting. The digital displays on the existing monument signs would be similar to digital displays on existing signs at Honda Center and Angel Stadium. In addition,
Katella Avenue is major roadway with street lights and facility parking lights associated with
ARTIC and Honda Center.
California Outdoor Advertising Act
The California Outdoor Advertising Act (California Business and Professions Code Section 5200
et seq.) prohibits the placement or maintenance of an advertising display within 660 feet from the
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-25 Environmental Analysis
edge of the right-of-way of, and the copy of which is visible from, any interstate or primary highway without obtaining permit approval from the California Department of Transportation ("CalTrans").
The monument sign located on Douglass Road is located within the 660-foot corridor,
approximately 570 feet from the edge of the right-of-way of State Route 57 freeway (SR-57) and, therefore, would be subject to CalTrans permit approval if the sign is to be used for off-site
advertising and the "copy [to be displayed on that sign] is visible from [the 57 freeway]". However,
the monument sign and the proposed digital displays have not been designed to be viewed by persons traveling on the 57 freeway. In fact, the portion of the Douglass Road monument sign
that would be considered to be the most visible to persons traveling on the 57 freeway, i.e., the
south facing side of the monument sign, will have no off-site advertising display.
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
Consistent with EIR No. 343 and evaluated in Section 5.4.2, Biological Resources, of this Addendum, the project site is not located within or near any designated habitat conservation plans
or natural community conservation plans; therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan. The
proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are no feasible, but the Applicant
declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first
Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the land use and planning analysis provided in
EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.11 MINERAL RESOURCES
5.11.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, the ARTIC is designated as an MRZ-2 area, where significant mineral
resource deposits are present or a high likelihood exists for their presence. However, the ARTIC
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-26 Environmental Analysis
is not within an active regionally significant site for mineral resources and it was determined that the ARTIC project would not result in the loss of any mineral resource.
5.11.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value
to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Consistent with EIR No. 343, the project site is not located within an active regionally significant
site for mineral resources. Additionally, the proposed project site would not involve any additional grading or excavation activities or development of any new structures beyond what was previously
evaluated as part of the EIR No. 343. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new
significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes; (2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new
significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the
Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the mineral resources analysis provided
in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.12 NOISE
5.12.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
EIR No. 343 determined that construction activities associated with ARTIC have the potential to temporarily increase ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. Adherence to the existing
regulations and standard conditions and implementation of the recommended mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels.
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-27 Environmental Analysis
Noise levels associated with operation of ARTIC would result in a negligible increase over Without Project conditions. Therefore, noise impacts related to daily operation of the ARTIC project would
be less than significant.
5.12.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of
other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or
groundborne noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project?
As previously discussed, the proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow
for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would generate a
small number of short-term, construction-related vehicle trips. These limited construction activities would not result in significant noise impacts; therefore, the proposed project would have less than
significant impacts related to noise, including short-term and long-term noise levels, and would
not result in any groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. Thus, the impacts of the proposed project would be less than those assumed in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed
project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second
Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses
and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan (Los Alamitos Armed Forces
Reserve Center or Fullerton Municipal Airport), would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, heliport or helistop, would the
project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
Similar to the conditions evaluated in EIR No. 343, there are no public airports, public use airports, heliports, or private airstrips in the project site vicinity. Due to the nature of the proposed project
and the lack of airport or airstrip facilities, the project would not expose people residing or working
in the area to excessive levels of aircraft- or airport-related noise. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects.

and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the noise analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.13 POPULATION AND HOUSING
5.13.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
Population and housing was determined in EIR No. 343 to be an issue area without significant
impacts. EIR No. 343 concluded that the ARTIC project would accommodate the transportation demand anticipated in the City and Orange County and would not directly or indirectly induce
population growth in these jurisdictions. Existing housing and people would not be displaced by
development of ARTIC, nor would the ARTIC project necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The PTMLUP and the associated allowable development intensities for
residential, commercial, and office land uses were developed to accommodate housing and
employment that would benefit from being located near the existing train station and/or ARTIC. Impacts were determined to not be significant.
5.13.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR

As discussed previously, the proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated
Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow
for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. The proposed project would not result in a change in population
or housing demand. No new additional employees would be generated with implementation of
the proposed project. Installation of the proposed project as well as maintenance and surveillance of the digital displays would be conducted by existing ARTIC personnel. Therefore, no direct or
indirect population growth would occur related to the proposed project. Consistent with the
findings of EIR No. 343, no impacts would occur with the proposed project; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified effects.
No housing exists on the project site; therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not displace existing housing or substantial numbers of people. The impacts identified for the
proposed project would be less than what is identified in EIR No. 343; therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses

5.14 PUBLIC SERVICES
5.14.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, development of ARTIC would replace the Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak
Station, located in the same service area. Therefore, the demand for public services—including
police protection, emergency response, and fire protection—would shift from the old facility to the new facility and service demands are anticipated to remain similar to existing conditions. Further,
as stated in EIR No. 343, the ARTIC project does not include a residential component and would
not induce significant growth to generate additional demand for school and park services. No significant impacts were identified.
5.14.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or
other performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection?
b) Police protection?
c) Schools?
d) Parks?
e) Other public facilities?
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special
Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction
of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project
Description. Due to the limited nature of the proposed project, no new demand for public services would occur. Consistent with EIR No. 343, no impacts would occur related to public services. The
proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified effects. All future signs would be subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second
Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses

these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the public services analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.15 RECREATION
5.15.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, there are several recreational facilities located in the vicinity of ARTIC, including Angel Stadium, the Honda Center, and the Santa Ana River Trail. It was determined that ARTIC would not generate additional demand for recreational facilities, and it was noted that
ARTIC would not result in any physical impacts to the Santa Ana River Trail. No impacts were identified.
5.15.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational
facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated?
b) Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special
Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project
Description. Due to the nature of the proposed project, it would not increase the use of any existing
recreational facilities, nor would it generate new demand for recreational facilities such that additional facilities would be required. As noted previously in Section 5.1, Aesthetics, the project
would also have no significant direct or indirect impacts to recreational facilities related to lighting or other visual impacts. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be
subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs
are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further

Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-32 Environmental Analysis
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes;
(2) would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and
(3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new significant impacts, (b) increase the severity of previously examined effects, (c) reveal that
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible and that would
substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project are now feasible, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d) reveal mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343
and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For
these reasons, there are no major revisions required to the recreation analysis provided in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.16 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
5.16.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
As evaluated in EIR No. 343, traffic impacts associated with ARTIC would result in significant
impacts at one ramp intersection, three weaving segments, and two freeway segments under 2013 Plus Project conditions and two intersections, one roadway segment, one ramp intersection,
two weaving segments, and one freeway segment under 2030 Plus Project conditions. However,
after implementation of the identified mitigation measures, these impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels for all locations except for those under California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) jurisdiction:
• SR-57 Southbound between the Katella Avenue On-Ramp and the Orangewood Off-
Ramp
• SR-57 Northbound between the Katella Avenue On-Ramp and the Ball Road Off-Ramp
• SR-57 Southbound between the Ball Road On-Ramp and the Katella Avenue Off-Ramp
• SR-57 Northbound from Katella Avenue to Ball Road
• SR-57 Southbound from Ball Road to Katella Avenue
• Manchester Avenue/Interstate (I) 5 Southbound Ramps at Katella Avenue
• Anaheim Way/I-5 Northbound Ramps at Katella Avenue
It was identified that these intersections would remain significant and unavoidable because
recommended changes, alterations, or mitigation measures are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the City of Anaheim. The Anaheim City Council
adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations with regard to these potential deficiencies.

5.16.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of
effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all
modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and
relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to
intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and
mass transit?
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not
limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other
standards established by the county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels
or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle,
or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such
facilities?
As discussed previously, the proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated
Sign Program (including permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow
for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. Future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated
Sign Program would involve a negligible amount of construction activity and would generate a
small number of short-term, construction-related vehicle trips. The proposed project would not generate long-term vehicular, pedestrian, transit, or bicycle trips. The digital displays would be in
an urban, mixed-use area characterized with lighted uses; therefore, the project would not create
any additional hazards to ground or air traffic (refer to Section 5.1, Aesthetics, for a full discussion related to lighting and glare). The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be
subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs
are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further environmental documentation would be required.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of

reasons, there are no major revisions required to the traffic and circulation analysis provided in
EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto.
Mitigation
No mitigation measures are required.
5.17 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
5.17.1 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR No. 343 and the First Addendum
Thereto
According to EIR No. 343, implementation of ARTIC would not exceed existing or projected water
uses presented in the Platinum Triangle Water Supply Assessment (WSA) and the City’s 2005 Urban Water Master Plan. The increase in wastewater generation would be negligible. Storm drain facilities proposed as part of the ARTIC project would accommodate anticipated storm drain
volumes, and discharge of pollutants associated with storm water runoff would comply with Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. ARTIC would create minimal daily
solid waste, and construction waste would be subject to recycling the extent feasible. Additionally,
anticipated electrical demand would be accommodated by the City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department (PUD), and installation of a 1,000 kilowatt (kW) emergency generator, as part of the
ARTIC project, would serve the project in the event of utility power loss. The demand for natural
gas, telephone, and television service would also be accommodated by existing facilities. According to EIR No. 343, impacts would be less than significant.
5.17.2 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Would the project:
a) Would the project exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable
Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Would the project require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities (including sewer (waste water) collection facilities) or expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
c) Would the project require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects?
d) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project
(including large-scale developments as defined by PRC § 21151.9 and described in
Question No. 20 of the Environmental Information Form) from existing entitlements
and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
ARTIC Special Sign District and ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program Project
Addendum to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center EIR
S:\Wendy Lex\ARTIC\ARTIC Addendum-021115docx.docx 5-35 Environmental Analysis
e) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider
which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the
project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
f) Would the project be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to
accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs?
g) Would the project comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations
related to solid waste?
h) Would the project result in the need for new systems or supplies, or substantial
alterations related to electricity?
i) Would the project result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial
alterations related to natural gas?
j) Would the project result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial
alterations related to telephone service?
k) Would the project result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial
alterations related to television service/reception?
The proposed project would amend the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish the ARTIC Special Sign District which would be implemented by the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program (including
permitting digital displays on the two existing monument signs) and allow for future construction of signs pursuant to the ARTIC Coordinated Sign Program, as detailed in Section 4.0, Project Description. As discussed in Section 5.7, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the proposed project would
require additional electrical energy to operate the digital displays. However, as indicated in Section 4.0, Project Description, energy-efficient LED lights would be used for the digital displays
and any incremental increase in energy usage over what was identified in EIR No. 343 would be
negligible.
Due to the nature of the proposed project, there would be no new demand for water, wastewater,
storm drain, solid waste services, natural gas, telephone services, and television
service/reception. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. All future signs would be
subject to review for consistency with the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center
EIR No. 343 and the First and Second Addenda Thereto. Should it be determined that future signs are inconsistent with the analyses and conclusions as stated in these documents, further
environmental documentation would be required.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed project would be consistent with the project analyzed in EIR No. 343 and
the first Addendum thereto. The proposed project would not create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In regard to Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project (1) would not propose substantial changes;
(2)would not substantially change the circumstances under which the project is undertaken; and (3) would bring about no new information of substantial importance that would (a) create new

measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in EIR No. 343 and the first Addendum thereto and that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the Applicant declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. For

SECTION 6.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
As demonstrated in this Addendum, the proposed project would not result in any new significant impacts, nor would it substantially increase the severity of impacts evaluated and determined for
implementation of the ARTIC project in EIR No. 343 or its first Addendum. Because the proposed project would not meet any of the criteria identified in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR, an Addendum to EIR No. 343 is the
appropriate document type for the proposed project.

Re: Lighting Analyses for ARTIC Project Monument Digital Displays
To Whom This May Concern:
The accompanying lighting analyses pertain to ARTIC’s monument single-sided digital display located
on Douglass Rd. and a double-sided digital display on Katella Ave. in Anaheim. We hope you find the following information beneficial.
The accompanying lighting analyses depict illumination levels in footcandles based on nighttime running levelsi at a measurement height of five feet above ground level (which is approximately eye
height)ii. These levels are based on a worst-case scenario of an all-white display. Actual levels will be
much lower than what is represented on the graph, as typical content runs at 25 to 35 percent of the brightness of an all-white display.
It is important to note that the accompanying lighting analyses assume absolute darkness with regard to surrounding ambient light. In other words, the presence of ambient light producing elements at night
including but not limited to roadway lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting, parking lot lighting,
the moon, etc. will further diminish the impact of the light output from the proposed display.
The east facing digital display on Katella Ave. is shown on the graph with illumination levels at 150 ft,
600 ft and 1000 ft to show any lighting impact on the Santa Ana River Trail and the city of Orange. At 600 feet and zero degrees, right across the river on Katella Ave., the illumination level is 0.02
footcandles. To put this level into perspective, it is only 2% of the light from a single wax candle as
viewed from one foot away. Further east on Katella Ave., at 1000 ft away from the display at a 0 degree angle, the illumination level is estimated to be 0.01 footcandles. Therefore, it is likely the display on
Katella Ave. will have a minimal impact on property east of the Santa Ana River in the city of Orange.
Additionally, the Santa Ana River Trail is located adjacent to the east facing display on Katella Ave. At
150 ft. at a zero degree angle, the illumination level is calculated at 0.34 footcandles. It is important to note the Katella Ave. digital display is located along a major roadway with street lights and facility
parking lot lighting. As a result of the existing environmental lighting, it is likely the Katella Ave. display
will have a minimal impact on the Santa Ana River Trail.
Finally, it is important to note the illumination levels are only representative of Daktronics GalaxyPro®
series digital displays. Other digital display manufacturers may use different LEDs which have different light emissions.

i Please note, while the sign’s brightness during daylight hours would be almost always incidental, there may be times in which the sign would produce illumination levels above ambient light during such hours. Examples when
such an occurrence could happen would be during a very dark and stormy day. It is important to note, however, that the sign is equipped with a working photo-sensor that automatically adjusts its brightness based on ambient
light. The photo-sensor adjusts the sign’s brightness to lower levels, preventing the sign from appearing overly bright during those rare occasions where its brightness would exceed ambient light.
ii Also note, the illumination levels cited take into account the overall sign height of 31 feet (Katella) and 26 ft
(Douglass) and provide the illumination which will be measured by the testing meter located 5 feet above ground level.
