PROPERTY OWNERS NOTIFIED: May 30, 2001 RECOMMENDATION: Deny Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-13. Ann Ni, Senior Planner, provided the staff report and advised that the applicant had provided information regarding its efforts to contact other property owners in the area. No one had indicated any interest in leasing space for amono-pine location. Ms. Ni advised the Commission that staff believed there were other sites in the area that would provide the same level of service and be more appropriate. Staff still recommended denial of the request. Commissioner Nalle asked if an antenna were located anywhere in the general area would the service be the same. Staff responded that they had found that if the installation remained within the same general radius the level of service would remain the same. There were other locations that would be off the freeway and more acceptable to the community. Commissioner Verino stated that it was her understanding that the applicant had been requested to provide information indicating its efforts to contact other building owners in the area and they seemed to have complied. The applicant also provided the coverage area as requested. It appears this information is being used to require the applicant to seek additional sites. Chairman Mondo advised that while the public hearing had already been held a representative from the applicant would be allowed to speak. Marc Myers, representative from Sprint PCS stated that staff's finding regarding the coverage being the same in another location in the general radius was not correct. The map represents a signal reading at the time it was taken only. The company has not been successful in obtaining a site in the area that staff believed to be appropriate. He felt that the company had complied with the requests made at the last Commission meeting and believes the location meets the intent of the Code. He agreed with the addendum provided in the staff report with the exception of the condition that the tree needs to be a Canary Island pine. A discussion was held regarding the type of tree to use. Ms. Nelson requested that staff be given the latitude to approve an acceptable tree. Ben Kaufman advised the Commission that approval could not be given at this time, as the Negative Declaration had not been completed. Jeff Rice stated that the required 20- day period would be completed prior to the Commission's next meeting scheduled for July 9, 2001. Ben Kaufman advised that should the item be approved at this time with a Categorical Exemption all conditions would be removed including aesthetic ones. Motion to continue to July 9, 2001.
