RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN
PARK APPROVING AN EXTENSION TO THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT FOR BULLETIN DISPLAYS, LLC
WHEREAS, on December 7, 2016, the City Council approved a Development
Agreement (DA) with Bulletin Displays, LLC to replace a prior Development Agreement
dated May 17, 2001 in order to install six (6) new double-sided billboard advertising
structures along the north and south side of the 1-10 Freeway; and
WHEREAS, the Schedule of Performance for the December 7, 2016 DA (Exhibit
B-1) states that the Developer shall have one (1) year from the 30th day after the 2nd
reading of the DA to get either (a) Caltrans to agree to declassify the landscaping near
one or more of the Sites referenced in the DA or (b) Caltrans to agree to enter into a
relocation agreement for any one or more of the Sites referenced in the DA; and
WHEREAS, on January 4, 2018, the City's Chief Executive Officer granted the
Developer a sixty (60)-day extension to the DA to complete the declassification of the
freeway landscaping within the site locations; and
WHEREAS, per the Developer, Caltrans is working with the City's Lobbyist and
Assembly Member Rubio's office regarding the landscaping on the wall and Caltrans
billboard permits. Caltrans stated they were agreeable to declassify the ivy and to work
with the City on wall enhancements if Caltrans received the following two items: (1) The
City had to issue a resolution indicating their desire to have the ivy removed and wall
enhancements installed and that (2) Caltrans' Outdoor Advertising Department needed
to issue a Preliminary Determination report that there are no other issues remaining other
than the ivy preventing the issuance of billboard permits; and
WHEREAS, the City approved Resolution 2018-225 on January 30, 2018 to fund
the installation and maintenance of the redesigned enhancements of the sound walls,
and then re-approved the action on February 21, 2018 via Resolution 2018-229 when
Caltrans requested corrections to the resolution; and
WHEREAS, Caltrans' Outdoor Department just finished their Preliminary Review
Requests and issued Preliminary Determinations that the ivy landscaping was the only
remaining issue. The City's Lobbyist and the Assembly Member's office are in the
process of scheduling a meeting with Caltrans to inform them that they have fulfilled
Caltrans' two requests. Within the meeting, Caltrans should inform the City that Caltrans
will now declassify the ivy and initiate contact with the City to discuss what type of wall
enhancements the City desires.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Baldwin Park adopts CC Resolution
No.2018-269 to grant the Developer a six (6)-month extension to the DA from March 21,
2018 to September 21, 2018 to give the Developer additional time to obtain Caltrans
approval for the landscaping declassification.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 20th day of June 2018.
