DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Trillium Consulting, representing T-Mobile, is requesting approval of a
conditional use permit to construct a 55-foot tall cellular antenna at
1444 East McFadden Avenue.
Property Description
The property is located within the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district
and has a General Plan land use designation of Industrial (IND)
(Exhibit 1). The property is bounded by industrial uses to the north,
east and west and a high school to the south (Exhibit 2). The subject
property is owned by Southern California Edison and is approximately 23.3
acres in size, irregular in shape and improved as an electrical utility
sub-station/storage yard. The wireless facility, if approved, would be
assigned an address of 1302 South Lyon to properly identify its location
on the sub-station site.
Project Description
T-Mobile is proposing
wireless facility and
subject property. that
The proposed wireless
sectors camouflaged as
to lease 900 square
equipment cabinets at
is currently used as
facility will include
a Canary Island Pine
feet of space for a 55-foot
the southeast corner of the
a storage area (Exhibit 3).

Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03
September 24, 2007
Page 2
California Edison is requiring that no landscaping be planted around the
wireless facility or the equipment lease area due to future development of
this parcel as part of the electrical sub-station (Exhibit 5). The
equipment cabinets and GPS antenna will be enclosed by a six-foot high
block wall. The existing five-foot landscaped setback along Lyon Street
would be supplemented with one 36-inch box tree and Boston Ivy vines on
the chain link fence (Exhibit 6). T-Mobile would have access to the site
from Lyon Street.
Analysis of the Issues
In July 1998, the City Council adopted an ordinance that regulates
Wireless Communication Facilities throughout 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 and requires the approval of a conditional use permit. The
proposed wireless facility is located within an enclosed leased area and
the equipment cabinets are screened by a six-foot block wall. A 36-inch
box Canary Island Pine and Boston Ivy vines will be planted in the
existing landscaped setback to provide additional visual screening along
Lyon Street. The proposed monopine is designed to allow for future co-
location by another provider.
The applicant has explored alternatives to the monopine structure such as
locating the cellular antenna on the roof of an existing building in the
area. Structures in the area, however, are not tall enough to meet the
coverage needs of T-Mobile. The applicant was asked to explore co-
location on an existing wireless facility within the electrical sub-
station at 1241 South Grand Avenue. This is not feasible due to physical
restrictions (existing overhand electrical power lines) at the location
(Exhibit 7). A 55-foot tall facility is needed in order to improve
cellular coverage and increase call capacity and quality. The proposed
cellular antenna will provide a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses
and motorists who subscribe to T-Mobile by closing service gaps in the
area and providing additional calling capacity. Equipment for the
monopine will be located in metal cabinets within the leased area. All
wiring and conduit will be underground or hidden in the interior of the
monopole. The proposed wireless facility complies with the City's
Wireless Communications Facility Ordinance and will provide needed service
to the east and central sections of the City.
Based upon the above analysis and findings, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03 as
conditioned.

RE: T-Mobile WIRELESS PROJECT on SCE Santa Ana Combined Facility, LA12867
Landscape Policy. 1444 McFadden Ave., Santa Ana, CA 92705.
Dear Planner;
This is in response to a request for T-Mobile to provide Landscape and Irrigation within SCE's
facility.
Southern California Edison (SCE) does not permit the institution or preservation of landscaping
within its substation/service center facilities. This policy is in accordance with Safety procedures
and requirements by the California Public Utilities General Order # 95, which regulates all above
ground electrical systems.
It is hoped that the above information answers your question. If I could be of further assistance,
please contact me at 626/302-9244 or 626/506-8589 (mobile).
Sincerely,
Jacquelyn Murray

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 14, 2007
TO: City of Santa Ana
Planning & Building Agency
FROM: Jason Kozora, Applicant's Representative
RE: Planning Division Comment A.1-Existing Facility at 1241 S. Grand
DP No. 2007-13 (Master I.D. No. 2007-74546), ER No. 2007-32
T-Mobile WTF at Chestnut Electrical Sub-Station Facility
1444 East McFadden Ave.
To Whom it may Concern:
This letter is in response to item A-1 of the Planning Division Design Review Comments issued in the letter
dated March 20, 2007.
T-Mobile had explored the possibility of co-locating on the existing facility addressed as 1241 South Grand
Avenue (CUP 2000-7) prior to making application for the current project. However, it was determined that
such co-location would not be possible for a couple of reasons.
1) The existing pole is approximately 35' in height. If T-Mobile were to co-locate a 10' tip-to-tip
separation would be needed between antennas placing T-Mobile at approximately 50' (Top of Antenna).
Since the monopole is located directly within the substation, extending the pole would create
interference issues for both T-Mobile and SCE due to the close proximity of the electrical lines. For this
reason it is not possible to co-locate on this pole.
2) Southern California Edison, the property owner, has future plans for the use of the area surrounding the
existing Wireless monopole. This prevents T-Mobile from co-locating as there would be no place to
locate the associate equipment cabinets anywhere near the pole. The equipment cabinets must be
located in the near vicinity of the pole as the cable runs from the equipment to the antennas need to be
less than 120' or significant degradation of the signal would result. For this reason it is not possible to
co-locate on this pole.
Due to the above reasons T-Mobile is proposing their own pole which will be camouflaged as a faux pine tree.
The proposed facility will also be in full compliance with Section 41-198 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-35
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2007-03 TO INSTALL A 55-FOOT TALL
CELLULAR ANTENNA AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1444 EAST MCFADDEN 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. 2007-03 came before the Planning
Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on
September 24, 2007.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03 has been filed with the City of Santa
Ana seeking to allow the installation of a 55-foot tall cellular antenna at the
property located at 1444 East McFadden 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 55-foot tall cellular monopine 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
within the east and central sectors of Santa Ana.
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. 2007-35
31 A-12 Page 1 of 8
Federal law exempts local 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 monopine, in conjunction with the existing
landscaping, will be compatible with the surrounding area
and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the
area. The stealth appearance will be the major solution to
maintaining and increasing the economic stability for this
industrial area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
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.
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed monopine facility will not adversely affect the
General Plan as cellular facilities that are designed to be
compatible with the surrounding environment are consistent
with the goals and objectives of the Industrial (IND) General
Plan designation.
E. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation 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. 2007-32 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission after conducting the public hearing hereby
approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03 as conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at
the above said hearing, which includes but is not limited to: the Request for Planning
Commission Action dated September 24. 2007 and exhibits attached thereto; and the
public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

1. The applicant must comply with all conditions and requirements of the
Development Review Committee for the development project (DP No. 07-
13).
2. Any amendment to this conditional use permit must be submitted to the
Planning Division for review. At that time, staff will determine if
administrative relief is available or the conditional use permit must be
amended.
3. One 36-inch box Canary Island Pine trees (Pious canariensis) and Boston
Ivy vines shall be planted in the existing landscape setback along Lyon
Street per the attached landscape plan.
4. The proposed monopine shall be constructed per the following
specifications:
a) The monopine should have 3.1 branches per foot for a full density
coverage with limited spacing between the branches - 70 percent
of the branches should be eight-foot or longer.
b) Branch disbursement should be random so that longer branches
and shorter branches are intermingled to give a natural
appearance.
c) Branches should exceed all antennas by a minimum of 12 inches.
d) Branches should start at 15 feet above the ground.
e) There should be a minimum space of seven feet between the top of
the antenna and the top of the branches.
Resolution No. 2007-35

31 A-15
f) Branches should have an upward sweep similar to that of actual
Canary Island Pines.
g) Branch foliage color should be an olive green with some brown
"needles" to match an actual Canary Island Pine. A sample should
be submitted for approval prior to fabrication.
h) A sample of bark cladding with a custom color should be submitted
for approval prior to fabrication.
i) All antennas shall be covered with "pine antenna socks" that match
the approved foliage color.
j) All "stand-off mounts" and support pipe mounts shall be concealed
behind antennas and painted a darker shade or green (or black)
with a "flat" paint finish to reduce reflection and visibility of the
mounting.
k) Include the tree specifications (selected manufacturers and models)
with photo simulations (also a site plan review requirement).
I) Show the location of the GPS antenna on all elevations.
m) Provide a "unistrut" detail for the utility cabinet; an "H-frame" is not
acceptable.
n) Provide a note on the plans stating "install underground utilities
sleeving for two carriers during construction of the structure". The
sleeving should go underground through the caisson; shrouds on
the outside of the pole are not acceptable. All utilities, coaxial and
conduit for the project should be designed to be underground -
this should eliminate the need for an "ice bridge".
o) All exterior conduit and electrical meters shall be installed and
screened in one metal enclosure painted to match the structure.
5. The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular
facility located at 1444 East McFadden 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
Resolution No. 2007-35

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.
6. 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.
7. 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 aDivision-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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. The permit applicant shall insure that lessee or other user(s) shall comply
with the terms and conditions of this permit, and shall be responsible for
the failure of any lessee or other users under the control of permit
applicant to comply.
11. The permit applicant shall provide a coverage and cell site location map
for each existing and proposed facility in Santa Ana.
12. The proposed wireless communication structure must be engineered to
allow the co-location of other service providers.

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.
14. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-03 expires five years from the date of
City Council approval.
15. The proposed six foot wall enclosure that screens the equipment cabinets
shall be sprayed on the exterior wall with an anti-graffiti coating.
16. The wireless facility leasee, T-Mobile, agrees to remove any graffiti on the
proposed equipment cabinet wall enclosure. Graffiti removal must be done
within 24 hours from occurrence.
