DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Omnipoint Communications, Inc. a subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc. is
requesting approval of a conditional use permit to install cellular
antennas within a roof mounted dome at 5111 West Edinger Avenue.
Property Description
The property is located within the Community Commercial (C-1) zoning
district and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial
(GC) (Exhibit 1). The property sits on the border of Santa Ana and
Fountain Valley and is bounded on all four sides by residential property.
Mile Square Park is located southwest of the project site (Exhibit 2).
The subject property is approximately 5.1 acres in size and is improved
with a retail shopping center. There is currently an existing roof
mounted cellular facility on the property which is attached to the central
tower of the retail center.
Project Description
The facility consists of three new arrays comprising a total of 12 new
antennas screened inside a roof mounted dome. The antennas will be
painted the same color as the dome so that they will not be viewable from
EXHIBIT A
31 A-2
Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-06
May 14, 2007
Page 2
any building elevation. The dome has been designed to match the color and
shape of the awnings that currently exist on the building. Mechanical
equipment for the antennas will be located on the ground level inside of a
new 10-foot by 20-foot masonry enclosure at the rear of the site. The
enclosure will be finished and painted to match the building. Boston Ivy
and irrigation will be provided at the base of the equipment enclosure.
There will be no exterior meters, cabinets or conduit visible on the
building or outside of the equipment room with the exception of cable
trays that will run across the roof and be screened by the existing
building parapet (Exhibit 3).
The antennas and dome are located a minimum of 200 feet from the adjacent
property which is used and zoned for residential purposes. The height of
the dome is 15 feet tall as measured from the finished roof, although
eight feet of this height will be hidden from view behind the existing
roof parapet. The height of the building with the dome structure is 35
feet, measured from ground level.
Analysis of the Issues
In July 1988, the City Council adopted an ordinance to regulate Wireless
Communication facilities constructed in the City. Major wireless
facilities are required to have a stealth design and be located on a
building or in an area that provides the greatest amount of visual
screening. These antennas also require the approval of a conditional use
permit.
The municipal code sets forth an order of preference with regard to the
location of cellular antennas. The first choice is to locate these
facilities on a building with screening that is compatible with
architecture, color, texture, and/or materials of a building. In the case
of the proposed project, the antennas are screened within a roof mounted
dome that matches the color and material of building awnings, which are a
prominent architectural feature of the shopping center.
The applicant has explored alternatives to the dome structure, such as
stealthing the facility within a tree structure, flag pole and light
standard. However, the dome has been determined to be a more creative
alternative for this particular location. A conditional use permit is
required because the antennas exceed the 10-foot height limit, as measured
from the floor of the roof, necessary for a Land Use Certificate approval.
31 A-3
Conditional Use
May 14, 2007
Page 3
Permit No. 2007-06
City code requires that cellular facilities be located a minimum of 140
feet from property that is zoned or used for residential purposes. The
proposed antennas meet this requirement as they are approximately 200
feet from residentially zoned property.
The proposed cellular antennas will provide a benefit to the community
by reducing service gaps in the area and providing additional calling
capacity for T-Mobile cellular customers in the City of Santa Ana.
Further, the proposed cellular facility is designed in conformance with
the City's adopted Wireless Communications Facility Ordinance and will
provide needed service to the southwest section of the City. Based upon
the above analysis and findings, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-06 as conditioned.
CEQA Compliance
This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The project is exempt from
further review pursuant to Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption allows
in-fill developments for the construction and location of limited
numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Categorical Exemption
Environmental Review No. 2005-182 will be filed for this project.

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-23
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2007-06 TO INSTALL CELLULAR
ANTENNAS WITHIN A ROOF MOUNTED DOME AT THE
PROPERTY AT 5111 WEST EDINGER AVENUE
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-06 came before the Planning
Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on
May 14, 2007.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-06 has been filed with the City of Santa
Ana seeking to allow the installation of cellular antennas within a roof
mounted dome at the property located at 5111 West Edinger Avenue.
C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-198.10, a Conditional
Use Permit is required for major wireless facilities.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning
Commission to grant a conditional use permit upon making certain
findings.
Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or
community?
The proposed roof mounted dome with hidden cellular
antennas will provide a service to Santa Ana residents,
businesses and motorists who subscribe to T-Mobile
wireless service by reducing the gaps in digital cellular
service and providing additional calling capacity for its users,
especially for those users traveling in the southwest portion
of the City and surrounding area.
2. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular
case be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity?
Resolution No. 2007-23
Page 1 of 8
31A-14
Federal law exempts {ocal jurisdictions from regulating
health related issues as these issues are covered under
Federal laws. However, the proposed facility will be in
compliance with both the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) safety regulations.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed cellular facility will be compatible with the
surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic
viability in the area as the cellular antennas are hidden from
view within a roof mounted dome that is compatible with the
color and material of building awnings, which are a
prominent architectural feature of the shopping center. The
antennas will reduce service gaps in cellular service and
providing additional calling capacity for its users, especially
for those users traveling in the southwest portion of the city.
Investment in the property will benefit future economic
development of properties in the surrounding area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
The municipal code sets forth an order of preference with
regard to the location of cellular antennas. The first choice is
to locate these facilities on a building with screening that is
compatible with architecture, color, texture, and/or materials
of a building. In the case of the proposed project, the
antennas are screened within a roof mounted dome that
matches the color and material of building awnings, which
are a prominent architectural feature of the shopping center.
In addition, City code requires that cellular facilities be
located a minimum of 140 feet from property that is zoned or
used for residential purposes. The proposed antennas meet
this requirement as they are approximately 200 feet from
residentially zoned property and further to the nearest
house. The cellular facility has been designed to comply
with the regulations and conditions identified in Chapter 41
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for a major wireless facility.
Resolution No. 2007-23
Page 2 of 8
31A-15
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed roof mounted cellular facility will not adversely
affect the General Plan as cellular facilities, designed to be
compatible with the surrounding environment, are consistent
with the goals and objectives of the General Commercial
(GC) General Plan land use designation.
E. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The project is exempt from further
review pursuant to Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption allows in-fill

satisfaction of the Planning Manager, with all applicable sections of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code, the California Administrative Code, the Uniform Fire Code, the Uniform
Building Code and all other applicable regulations.
The applicant must comply in full with each and every condition listed below rior to
exercising the rights conferred by this conditional use permit.
The applicant must remain in compliance with all conditions listed below throughout the
life of the conditional use permit. Failure to comply with each and every condition may
result in the revocation of the conditional use permit.
A. Planning Division
1. The applicant must comply with all conditions and requirements of the

8. The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular
facility located at 5111 West Edinger Avenue are extremely close to the
frequencies used by the City of Santa Ana for Public Safety. This
proximity will require extraordinary "comprehensive advanced planning
and frequency coordination" engineering measures to prevent
interference, especially in the choice of frequencies and radio ancillary
hardware. This is encouraged in the "Best Practices Guide' published by
the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International,
Incorporated (APCO), and as endorsed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Prior to the issuance of any permits to install the
facility, (permit applicant) shall meet in good faith to coordinate the use of
frequencies and equipment with the Communications Division of the
Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department to minimize, to the greatest
extent possible, any interference with the Public Safety 800 MHz
Countywide Coordinated Communications System (CCCS). Similar
consideration shall be given to any other existing or proposed wireless
communications facility that may be located on the subject property.
9. At all times, the permit applicant shall not prevent the City of Santa Ana
from having adequate spectrum capacity on the City's 800 MHz radio
frequency.
10. Before activating its facility, the permit applicant will submit to a post-
installation test to confirm that "advanced planning and frequency
coordination" of the facility was successful in not interfering with the City of
Santa Ana Public Safety radio equipment. This test will be conducted by
the Communications Division of the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner
Department or a Division-approved contractor at the expense of the
applicant. This post-installation testing process shall be repeated for
every proposed frequency addition and/or change to confirm the intent of
the "frequency planning" process has been met.
11. The permit applicant shall provide a 24-hour phone number to which
interference problems may be reported. This condition will also apply to
all existing facilities in the City of Santa Ana.
12. The permit applicant will provide a "single point of contact" in its
Engineering and Maintenance Departments to insure continuity on all
interference issues. The name, telephone number, fax number and a-mail
address of that person shall be provided to the City's designated
representative upon activation of the facility.
13. The permit applicant shall insure that the lessee or other user(s) shall
comply with the terms and conditions of this permit, and shall be
Resolution No. 2007-23

responsible for the failure of any lessee or other users under the control of
permit applicant to comply.
14. The permit applicant shall provide a coverage and cell site location map
for each existing and proposed facility in Santa Ana.
15. Locate all equipment and related appurtenances (appleton plug and
electric meter) on the inside of the equipment enclosure or inside the
building and underground all electrical power from the utility source shown
on the approved site plan.
16. The approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-06 shall expire five
years from the date of City Council approval.
17. The property owner shall be responsible for the removal of any graffiti on
the shopping center site within 24 hours of the occurrence.
