FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 2015 -14 TO ALLOW A 50 -FOOT HIGH WIRELESS FACILITY FOR VERIZON AT 3420 SOUTH BRISTOL STREET {STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 3,2) Prepared by Melanie G. McCann PLANNING COMMISSION SECRETARY APPROVED • As Recommended • As Amended • Set Public Hearing For DENIED • Applicant's Request • Staff Recommendation CONTINUED TO eWl Director Acting P��ing My�hager RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -14 as conditioned. Request of Applicant Vinculums Services Inc., representing Verizon Wireless, is requesting approval of a 50 -foot high wireless facility disguised as a pine tree at 3420 South Bristol Street. Major wireless communication facilities require approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 41- 198.3(b) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). Project Location and Site Description The project site consists of a 39,996 square foot parcel that is part of a larger integrated commercial development. Located on Bristol Street, north of MacArthur Boulevard, the subject property is adjacent to commercial and retail businesses to the north, south and east. Multiple family residential developments are located to the west of the project site (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3). The site is Currently improved with a 6,274 square foot eating establishment occupied by the China Garden Restaurant. Proiect Description Verizon is proposing to construct a 50 -foot high wireless facility disguised as a pine tree. This facility is intended to provide increased cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. To give the facility the appearance of a natural tree, the tower has been designed to have branches that will extend seven feet above the antennas to a maximum height of 50 feet. Equipment for the wireless facility will be installed within an equipment enclosure that measures approximately 22 -feet by 20 -feet for a total of 440 square feet. This proposed equipment enclosure will contain one stand -by generator, two equipment cabinets, two battery cabinets, and two GPS antennas. The enclosure will be located west of the existing restaurant building with the monopole itself surrounded by the concrete masonry block wall equipment enclosure, and a two -foot landscape planter at the base. EXHIBIT A 31A-3 CUP No. 2015 -14 July 13, 2015 Page 2 The applicant proposes to add two 36 -inch box pine trees to assist with the stealthing of the monopole. One tree will be located in the new planter adjacent to the facility and the second tree within an existing planter in the middle of the parking lot (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6). In addition to the monopole and equipment enclosure, the applicant proposes to provide site improvements including the repair and re -slurry the site parking area and a new trash enclosure to meet City standards. The proposed Monopine wireless facility will contain three sectors. Each sector will contain four eighth -foot Panel Antennas, as well as four Remote Radio Units (RRU) mounted behind the proposed antennas. With four panel antennas on each side, there will be a total of 12 panel antennas and 12 RRU's. W. In August 2014, plans were submitted on behalf of Verizon Wireless to install a new wireless facility at this location. After a review of the proposal, staff recommended the applicant pursue alternative locations and /or reduce the height of the monopole from 60 feet to 50 feet. This request was based on Bristol Street's designation in the City's General Plan Scenic Corridor Element as a Secondary Scenic Corridor. The reduction in height is intended to mitigate the visual impact from both the scenic corridor and nearby residential properties. The site was developed in 1977 and is presently owned by MCG MacArthur Corner LLC. City records show the existing restaurant use has operated at this location since 2001. The property owners will be leasing a 488 square foot area at the north section of the site to Verizon for the Installation of the monopole and equipment enclosure. General Plan and Zonina Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is District Center (DC), which allows higher intensity mixed use and residential development with a maximum floor area ration of 1.0. Uses such as wireless facilities are consistent with this General Plan land use designation. Per the General Plan Scenic Corridor Element, Bristol Street is designated as a Secondary Scenic Corridor and is intended to preserve scale and aesthetics along the corridor to limit obtrusive land uses. The zoning for the site is Planned Shopping Center (C -4), which allows for a variety of commercial and service uses to serve the community. The existing restaurant use of the property is a conforming use, and the proposed wireless communication facility is consistent with the zoning designation. 31A-4 CUP No. 2015 -14 July 13, 2015 Page 3 Project Analvsls In July 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS -2356, which established regulations for wireless communication facilities throughout the City. Major wireless communication facilities such as the proposed Verizon facility are required to have a stealth design and be located in an area that provides the greatest amount of visual screening. Further, these major facilities require the approval of a conditional use permit. Further, Section 41 -198.4 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) identifies several site improvements that may be required at sites with major wireless facilities. These improvements include: 1. Landscaping around the base of the facility, including vines, groundcover and a 24 -inch box tree; 2. Decorative fencing (wrought iron or block) around the facility; 3. A six -foot high solid wall between the facility and property zoned or used for residential; 4. One parking space, if on -site parking is not available; 5. Repairing, repaving and restriping of a parking lot which is in poor condition; 6. The repainting of buildings on a site; and 7. The construction of a new trash enclosure. As part of the development review portion of the project, staff worked with the applicant to identify improvements to be required in tandem with the proposed monopole and equipment enclosure. These improvements reflect the requirement to screen the facility from view, to provide enhanced landscaping through the planting of a new tree and vines, to deter graffiti through the planting and maintenance of landscaping materials, to enhance the site parking surfaces, and to minimize the project's overall impacts on the surrounding community. Conditional use permits are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permits may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established: • That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. • That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. • That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. 31A-5 CUP No. 2015 -14 July 13, 2015 Page 4 If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. Section 41- 198.5(b) of the SAMC establishes site selection order of preference criteria for wireless facilities. These provisions require the exploration of various options before proposing a new monopole. The applicant has explored alternatives to this monopole, including providing a roof mounted facility on an existing building in the area and co- locating on another facility. The heights of the buildings (predominantly one -story) in the immediate area do not provide the necessary height to provide adequate service. Also, there are no wireless facilities close enough to provide the necessary coverage and capacity that Verizon requires. The project will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the community. The proposed monopole will provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to Verizon's services by reducing the gaps in cellular service and providing additional calling capacity for its users in the southern sector of Santa Ana. • The proposed wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the proposed facility will be in compliance with Federal law that govern health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). • The proposed monopole, in conjunction with the new live pine trees and site improvements, will be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The stealth appearance and site enhancements will maintain and increase the economic stability for development by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. • The use will comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The proposed facility will be stealthed as a pine tree, will feature new and enhanced landscaping, will provide screening from adjacent uses, and will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC. • The proposed monopole 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 Land Use Element. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address community needs, which includes means of communication that will be served by the proposed monopole. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity 31A-6 CUP No. 2015 -14 July 13, 2015 Page 5 as well as mitigation of developments' impacts. The proposed monopole is designed to minimize visual impact on the area through additional landscaping and the stealthing of the monopole at the project site. Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for services. Enhancing a cell phone provider's coverage in the area enhances services that are readily available for business owners, workers, and residents in the immediate vicinity. A facility disguised as a pine tree would provide the best stealth possible for this location, The facility is located within a commercial district and will be installed toward the north of the site, approximately 152 feet away existing residential uses. There is a mixture of tree species including pine trees located adjacent to Bristol Street and on the adjacent multiple family residential site. Thus, the pine tree design will blend into the area and has been designed to minimize visual impacts to adjacent residence and travelers along the Bristol Street scenic corridor. All associated wiring and conduit for the facility will be underground or hidden within the interior of the monopole. This location is also optimal to provide the coverage necessary for existing and expanding service. The proposed cellular antennas will provide a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to Verizon by closing service gaps and providing enhanced cellular service in the area. Equipment for the facility will be located within a new enclosure behind the restaurant building, with vines planted on the block wails to assist in screening the wireless facility on the site. The proposed wireless facility complies with the City's Wireless Communications Facility Ordinance and will provide needed service to this area of the City. Further, the project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan that safeguard residents and workers in the area while encouraging land uses that accommodate the City's needs for services. Public Notification The project site is located south of the Republic Homes Neighborhood Association boundaries and east of South Coast Neighborhood Association. However, staff contacted the presidents of these neighborhood associations to ensure that they were notified of this project and to identify any areas of concern. The presidents did not identify any concerns with the project. The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and notices were sent to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public, 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; the installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. 31A-7 CUP No. 2015 -14 July 13, 2015 Page 6 The wireless facility is a new, small facility that has been found by the City's development review agencies to not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2015 -34 will be filed for this project. Strategic Plan Alicinment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development, Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business /job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -14 as conditioned. Melanie G.
