City of New York, 16 N.Y.S.3d 411 (Sup <br />2015) <br />NEW YORK (09/08/15)—This case addressed the issue of whether Met- <br />ropolitan Transportation Authority facilities were exempt, under the Public <br />Authorities Law, from local laws restricting the placement of outdoor <br />advertising signs. The case also addressed whether local zoning laws were <br />preempted under the federal Interstate Commerce Commission Termination <br />Act of 1995 ("ICCTA")—which preempts all local laws managing or <br />governing rail transportation. <br />The Background/Facts: CBS Outdoor, Inc. ("CBS Outdoor"), Lamar <br />Advertising of Penn, LLC ("Lamar"), and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. <br />("Clear Channel") (collectively, the "Outdoor Advertising Companies" or <br />"OACs") are each engaged in the business of outdoor advertising. The City <br />of New York (the "City") regulates outdoor advertising under its zoning <br />laws. The City's Building Code requires outdoor advertising companies to <br />register with the City's Department of Buildings ("DOB"), and to provide <br />DOB with an inventory of their outdoor advertising signs, sign structures, <br />and sign locations that are within 900 feet and within view of an arterial <br />highway. <br />© 2015 Thomson Reuters 5 <br />
