1 Vineland Pointe PD/LUP Substantial Change Request Orange County Board of County Commissioners August 20, 2013

2 Impact Communications  Outdoor-advertising company  Established in 1990  Small business located in Orange County  Woman-owned 2

3 Impact and I-4 Billboards  From 1990 to date, Impact has removed 34 billboards from I-4 in Orlando and Orange County  Total of 54 faces removed  All removed from tourism areas on I-4  34 billboards replaced with 9 billboards (net reduction of 25 billboards)  No other billboard company even comes close 3

4 Impact and I-4 Billboards 4

5 “Hickman Billboard” Agreement  August, 2000 – agreement entered … Impact removes 3 billboards (4 faces) Impact erects 1 monopole “Term” of only 13 years Agreement requires sign to be removed as of July 1, 2013 5

6 “Hickman Billboard” Agreement  THEN: Consistent with Clear Channel billboard at OCCC Former “YMCA” billboard 10-year term  NOW: Not so much 6

7 NOW: Other billboard company gets much more favorable treatment  Clear Channel sign at OCCC Extended to 23 years Probably to be extended for 38 years  Clear Channel sign at Sea World Approved by DRC in 2002 Full-fledged billboard No longer an “onsite” sign No “termination” date – perpetual 7

8 NOW: Other billboard company gets much more favorable treatment  Clear Channel took down no billboards whatsoever  Clear Channel is not an Orange County- based business – out-of-state company  Clear Channel is not a small business – huge corporate conglomerate  Clear Channel is not minority-owned or woman-owned 8

9 Impact’s Request to BCC (February 2013)  Same treatment as Clear Channel board at Sea World … No termination date Perpetual rights to operate  Alternatively, same term as Clear Channel board at OCCC – 38 years total 9

10 Board Action (June 2013):  Contract amendment: 25-year extension to match Clear Channel board at OCCC  Legal/technical contingency: Approval of “substantial change” to conditions of approval for Vineland Pointe PD/LUP  Impact accepted the limited extension and contingency 10

11 Why Approve? Good policy, smart precedent …  Impact has helped reduce billboard clutter  Will Impact’s good deeds be punished?  Signals to other billboard companies? 11

12 Why Approve? No bad precedent …  Only three billboards … on I-4 … in “tourism district” … permitted after 1990 … with “term” issues  Clear Channel’s two billboards have SET the precedent  No others will follow Impact 12

13 Why Approve? Smart legally …  Impact’s potential claims Equal protection Requirement for “just compensation” plus legal fees  Impact and Carter Vineland Pointe, LLC, would MUCH PREFER TO … Just do business, and Never litigate 13
