A. The areas and times controlled by this section are designated to constitute a limited access, nonpublic forum which is strictly limited to commercial messages, and which is open only to those persons described in this section and on the terms stated in this section.
B. Freeway visible commercial signs relating to automobile businesses located within the city may be placed on particular portions of the city's armory site where they do not interfere with existing or reasonably foreseeable uses of the armory, and are subject to the consent of the state of California as lessee of the armory and the city. Signs shall not exceed ninety feet (90') in height; provided, however, the actual height of any sign shall be determined by a "balloon" or "flag" test and such height may exceed ninety feet (90') if necessary to provide reasonable visibility from the freeway. Signs shall not exceed an area of six hundred (600) square feet. The structure of a sign shall not endanger the health and safety by causing distractions to operators of motor vehicles.
C. A permit under this section will be issued only to an applicant doing automobile business within the city and who provides evidence of comprehensive general liability insurance coverage, in a form satisfactory to the finance director, which shall name the city as an additional insured and provide thirty (30) day notice of cancellation. The minimum liability coverage on such policy shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) and coverage shall apply to claims of personal injury including death, property damage and advertising injury. Application for a permit shall be made to the city council and shall constitute an agreement to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the city against all claims relating to property damage or personal injury, including death, which assert that the permitted sign played any legally significant role in the creation of the liability.
