Santa Clarita, California
Billboard Proposal in Violation of Federal Law, Expert Says
By Josh Heath
The billboard proposal set to go before the Santa Clarita City Council next
week is likely to draw Federal sanctions against the State of California if
passed, according to Bill Brinton, one of the top billboard lawyers in the United
States.
The deal is set to give Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(Metro) permits to three digital billboards on city-owned property in exchange
for eliminating all of their billboards along the railroad right of way. The issue
with the deal lies in the billboard location on Norland Drive in Canyon
Country.
Previously, the area was designated as “Open Space.” A re-zoning amendment
would declare it a “Business Park,” all for the purpose of the sole digital
billboard. That, Brinton says, falls in direct violation of the Highway
Beautification Act of 1965, which was outdoor advertising reform, passed as
part of Lyndon Johnson’s Beautify America Initiative. The purpose of the regulation was to keep outdoor advertising away from
environmentally sensitive and scenic areas and relegate it to those already zoned
for industry and as business park land. Under no circumstance can a piece of open
space be re-zoned as a business park solely for the sake of outdoor advertising.
Any piece of highway that receives federal aid must comply with the law, Brinton
said.
“What happens is, the federal government will go to the offending state and
withhold 10 percent of their Federal Highway money for not complying with the
law,’’ Brinton said. “In this instance, since it’s California, we could be talking about
$300 million.’’
Caltrans officials said they would carefully look over the permits for the digital
billboards, if and when the proposal passes. Officials confirmed to the Gazette
for this story that State Route 15, the site for the Norland Road billboard, is a
recipient of federal aid.
‘’It is our job to make sure the law gets followed, and we take the regulations
very seriously. We will be examining the permits,” said Mark Dinger,
spokesman for Caltrans.
City Attorney Joe Montez said this was the first time he was aware of the issue
and that Metro had handled all permitting related issues in this deal.
