A GPS and parabolic antenna will also be located on the monopole. <br /> <br /> Proiect Background <br /> <br /> The site is owned by Gates Warner LLC and is occupied by Goodwill Industries for warehouse and <br /> distribution purposes. Gates Warner will be leasing a 320 square foot area at the northwest <br /> section of their site to AT&T for the installation of the cell tower and related equipment. <br /> In April 2011, Trillium Consulting, Inc. submitted plans for the wireless facility. After subsequent <br /> review, staff recommended moving the monopole and equipment area to the rear of the property, <br /> away from Warner Avenue to assist with the stealthing of the facility. Resubmittals for the project <br /> now comply with staff's request, with the wireless facility at the rear of the property. <br /> <br /> General Plan and Zoning Consistencv <br /> <br /> The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND), which allows for manufacturing <br /> and industrial uses. Uses such as wireless facilities are consistent with this General Plan land use <br /> designation. <br /> <br /> The zoning for the site is Light Industrial (M-1). The Light Industrial zoning district is a zone that <br /> also allows for manufacturing, industrial and warehouse uses. The proposed use is also <br /> consistent with the zoning designation. <br /> <br /> Project Analysis <br /> <br /> In July 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2356, which established regulations for <br /> wireless communication facilities throughout the City. Major wireless facilities, which are ground <br /> mounted facilities such as the one proposed, or roof mounted and higher than 10 feet above the roof <br /> of a building, are required to have a stealth design and be located in an area that provides the <br /> greatest amount of visual screening. Further, these major facilities require the approval of a <br /> conditional use permit. Also, Section 41-198.4 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) identifies <br /> several site improvements that may be required at sites with major wireless facilities. These <br /> improvements include: <br /> 1. Landscaping around the base of the facility, including vines, groundcover and a 24-inch box tree; <br /> 2. Decorative fencing (wrought iron or block) around the facility; <br /> 3. A six-foot high solid wall between the facility and property zoned or used for residential; <br /> 4. One parking space, if on-site parking is not available; <br /> 5. Repairing, repaving and restriping of a parking lot which is in poor condition; <br /> 6. The repainting of buildings on a site; and <br /> 7. The construction of a new trash enclosure. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 31 B-4 <br />
