RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -52 as conditioned.
Request of Applicant
Corte[, LLC, representing AT &T Wireless, is requesting approval of a 60 -foot high major wireless
facility disguised as a eucalyptus tree (mono - eucalyptus) at 2500 South Fairview 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).
Proie-c-t Location and Site Description
The project is proposed to be constructed on a 3.6 -acre parcel of land located on Fairview Street
south of Warner Avenue. The site is currently developed with two industrial /office buildings
occupied with a mixture of manufacturing and warehouse uses. Land uses surrounding the site
include medical and commercial uses to the north, industrial uses to the south, commercial /retail
uses to the east, and industrial uses to the west beyond the flood control channel (Exhibits 1, 2
and 3).
Project Description
AT &T Wireless is proposing to construct a 60 -foot high wireless facility disguised as a eucalyptus tree
(mono - eucalyptus). 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 will be designed to
have branches that will extend six feet above the antennas to a maximum height of 60 feet.
Equipment for the wireless facility will be installed within a 12 -foot by 12 -foot enclosure with an eight
foot high perimeter block wail that is painted to match the building, The mono - eucalyptus and
equipment enclosure will be located at the southwest corner of the property, adjacent to the existing
flood control channel.

The proposed wireless facility will have three sectors containing four panel antennas per sector, 12
remote radio units, four surge protection units and one microwave antenna mounted to the mono-
eucalyptus. Additionally, all ancillary equipment and one Argus power plant will be installed within the
proposed enclosure (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6).
Project Background
The site was developed in 1976, with a total of 67,192 square feet, divided into two industrial /office
buildings. Since then, the site has been occupied by a mixture of manufacturing and warehouse
uses.
In April of 2014, Cortel, LLC representing AT &T Wireless, submitted plans to install a new wireless
facility at this location. After a review of the proposal, staff acknowledged that the submittal met all
SAMC requirements for wireless facilities.
A
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND), which allows for manufacturing
and warehouse uses. Uses such as wireless facilities are consistent with this General Plan land
use designation.
The zoning for the site is Light Industrial (M1). The Light Industrial zoning district is a zone that
also allows for manufacturing and warehouse uses. The proposed use is also consistent with the
zoning designation.
MM
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 AT &T Wireless 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. Also, Section 41 -198.4 of the 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.

Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -52
September 14, 2015
Page 3
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 mono - eucalyptus facility and equipment
enclosure. These improvements reflect the requirement to screen the facility from view, to provide
enhanced landscaping through the planting of new trees, to deter graffiti through the planting and
maintenance of landscaping materials, to screen equipment and materials by locating them within an
enclosure with eight foot high block walls that are painted to match the buildings, 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.
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. -The- se provisions require the exploration of various options before proposing a new major
wireless facility. The applicant has explored alternatives to this major wireless facility, including
providing a roof mounted facility on an existing building in the area and co- locating on another facility.
Nearby buildings in the immediate area are not located in coverage gaps and /or are not of sufficient
height (predominantly one and two- story) to provide coverage between existing wireless facilities.
The project will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the community. The proposed
mono - eucalyptus will provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses, and motorists who
subscribe to AT &T Wireless services by reducing the gaps in cellular service and providing
additional calling capacity for its users in the central 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). Moreover, the
nearest residential use is located over 800 linear feet from the site, further reducing any potential
for impacts.
• The proposed mono - eucalyptus 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 this industrial corridor by
providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. Further,
the stealth appearance and the chosen location for the facility will help blend in with existing
mature eucalyptus trees found on the property.
+ 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 eucalyptus tree, will feature new and enhanced landscaping, will
provide an equipment enclosure painted to match the color and look of the existing buildings, and
will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC.
• The proposed mono - eucalyptus 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
mono - eucalyptus. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and
integrity as well as mitigation of developments' impacts. The proposed mono - eucalyptus is
designed to minimize visual impact on the area by implementing stealth design and using the
prime location of the facility in relation to the existing mature trees on that side of the property to
screen the facility. 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 eucalyptus tree would provide the best stealth possible for this location. The
facility is located within a site that is occupied by industrial /office uses. The eucalyptus tree design
will easily blend into the area and will be designed to allow for future co- location by another provider.
Of the various tree designs, the eucalyptus tree is a design that can stealth the equipment needed by
additional wireless providers. All associated wiring and conduit for the facility will be underground or
hidden within the interior of the mono - eucalyptus.

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 AT &T Wireless by closing service gaps and providing enhanced cellular
service in the area. Equipment for the facility will be located within a new enclosure painted to match
the existing buildings further assisting 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 centrally located within the City and is directly across from the Centennial Park
neighborhood association. Staff contacted the Centennial Park Neighborhood Association to
ensure that they were notified of this project and to identify any areas of concern. Centennial Park
has identified no present concerns with this 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.
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. 2014 -58 will be filed for this project.
Strategic Plan Alignment
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).
