FILE NO: ER21-015

The project consists of the construction of two programmable electronic billboard freeway signs (a "north sign" and a "south sign") on San José Airport parcels. Each display would be approximately 59 feet in width by 17 feet in height, resulting in a message surface of approximately 1,003 square feet. It is the intent of the project applicant to enter into a lease agreement with San José Airport to construct and operate the signs. The purpose of the signs is to advertise to occupants of vehicles traveling on U.S. Route 101.

LOCATION

The applicant proposes to construct two freeway signs south of U.S. Route 101 on Airport property. The proposed signs are located within the Airport Sign Zone. The “north sign” is proposed to be located adjacent to the southeast corner of Airport Boulevard and Ewart Road, inside the chain link fence around the San José Police Department surface parking lot. The “south sign” would be located to the north of Economy Lot 1 and east of the Guadalupe River Trail.

The proposed San José Airport Electronic Signs project was not included in the Airport Master Plan project and, therefore, represents a change to the project analyzed in the Airport Master Plan EIR. This IS/Addendum has been prepared as part of the supplemental environmental review process needed to evaluate the proposed project. In accordance with CEQA, this IS/Addendum would tier from the Airport Master Plan Update EIR, available at the following link:
