MEETING DATE September 8, 1998
ITEM TITLE PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS COMMU-
NICATIONS FACILITY AT 2005 E. 4TH STREET (EL TOYON PARK).
APPLICANT: GTE MOBILNET OF SAN DIEGO CASE FILE NO. CUP-1998-4
AGENDA ITEM NO 1
PREPARED BY Ron Santos 'R5
EXPLANATION.
The applicant proposes to install wireless communications equipment in the portion of El Toyon Park west of U
Avenue, immediately north of the existing baseball field. The proposed facility consists of a 12 ft. x 16 ft. x 13 ft.
tall equipment building and a 98 foot tall monopole. The equipment building, designed to match score shacks
recently constructed in the park, would be recessed into the embankment along the northern boundary of the park.
This minimizes the loss of usable park grounds.
The proposed monopole would replace an existing light pole of the same height and would support both GTE's
antennas and relocated light fixtures. Shared use of existing facilities (as proposed) is generally encouraged for
wireless facilities. Antennas attached to the top of the pole would add 13 feet to the structure's overall height.
A Council hearing was set to allow consideration of an additional condition of approval per the recommendation of
the City Attorney. This condition (#15) would require a lease agreement between the City and the applicant as a
prerequisite to the CUP. Planning Commission approved the application July 20, 1998, subject to compliance with
standard conditions of approval. In addition, adopted conditions require G I'L to provide the Parks and Recreation
Dept. with 2-4 hours advance notice prior to non-scheduled maintenance visits and to coordinate siting of under-
ground facilities with Sweetwater Authority to avoid any potential conflicts with a water well planned for the park.
LAt the previous hearing, Commission considered staff response to inquiries received from a resident regarding
several aspects of the project. The applicant spoke in favor of the request. No other public testimony was received.

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, and sufficient area exists to
accommodate the proposed facility without reducing the net usable area of the park
grounds. since the proposed monopole will replace an existing light standard and the
proposed equipment building will be recessed into a sloped embankment unusable for
general recreation.
That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since
access to the property is provided from U Avenue and the unmanned wireless
communications facility is expected to generate a minimal amount of additional traffic.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since the project involves only a negligible addition to established structures and
construction of a small building adequately separated and screened from views afforded
adjacent properties.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare. since the facility will enhance and/or augment the availability of wireless
communication channels.
RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CONDITION OF APPROVAL
15. Before this Conditional Use Permit shall become effective, the applicant shall negotiate a
City Council approved lease agreement authorizing use of the property.

I am extremely interested in the GTE conditional use permit Case File No: CUP-
1998-4 public hearing being held on Monday, July 20, 1998. Due to circumstances
beyond by control I am unable to attend the meeting. However I have many questions
and concerns. I would appreciate them being answered in writing and sent to my home.
1. Is this a microwave system or is it going to emit "EMF's" (electro magnetic fields)?
2. If there are "EMF's " can you guarantee they are not harmful to humans?
3. Can GTE guarantee this will not interfere with our telephones and televisions?
We already have trucker's CB conversations coming through our telephones.
4. Can you guarantee this will be the only one or is it the start of one on every light
pole in El Toyon field?
We fought this before with another Phone Company and the city allowed that one to
be put on land in the Armory on Palm Ave. so we already have one in our
neighborhood.
5. Lastly. and probably most importantly. where and how will the monies made from
this venture be spent?
I strongly feel. at least 50% of the money should stay in El Toyon Park. The
police cannot and do not respond to most of our calls. We need some kind of
security patrol to keep the vandalism. graffiti, gangs. etc. under control. Till now
it has been up to the strong Neighborhood Watch to constantly watch and call the
police to try to keep the park safe.
The score shacks have just been rebuilt at a cost of over 100 thousand dollars and
are beautiful. This is an opportune time to take a stand and say that part of this
revenue is needed to go for security and other needed safety measures. This will
help insure that the park can be used by the good folks of the community with the
least amount of noise. boom boxes. gang activity. etc. that make daily living a
struggle for the homeowners surrounding the park.
1
The homes on First St., U Ave., Melrose and Fourth St. that Eire involved in this
are 90% owner occupied and deserve to have some of the money made by their
park kept in their park. In the long run it will benefit the entire city.
Thank you for any consideration you may give to this letter.
Sincerely,
eaaar

RE: CUP-1998-4 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AT 2005 E. 4TH STREET (EL TOYON
PARK)
Dear Mrs. Heuss:
City staff has coordinated with GTE in preparing a point by point response to the ques-
tions raised in your July 16 letter. GTE's response to questions 1, 2, and 3 is provided as
an attachment to this letter. In addition please note the following:
The City has not yet made any determinations with regard to either the pending proposal
nor any future proposals for wireless communications facilities in El Toyon Park. GTE's
pending proposal will be considered by the Planning. Commission at tonight's public
hearing. Any decision made will be subsequently reviewed by the City Council at an up-
coming meeting. Any future proposals would also be considered on a case -by -case basis
following the same pre -established Conditional Use Permit application and public hear-
ing procedures. There are currently no other applications pending.
You may be assured however, that the cumulative effects of multiple installations will be
considered (if applicable) as part of the evaluation of any future proposals. As with all
matters potentially effecting the City's residents, proper public notification and oppor-
tunity for citizen input will be provided upon receipt of any additional requests. City
staff is and will be available to answer any additional questions you may have.
With regard -to your inquiry as tb how any revenue received as part of this venture will be
spent. you should first be aware that this is not a matter under consideration at this time.
Lease negotiations will ensue. as a separate matter. only following approval of an appli-
cation for a Conditional Use Permit. City staff has been charged with the task of working
with any authorized wireless communications service provider to prepare a lease agree-
ment for consideration by the City Council. Revenues received as part of any such
agreement will be deposited into the Citv's General Fund and budgeted for expenditure
per the determination of the Council. No such determinations have been made at this
time. However. your recommendation will be forwarded to the Council for consideration
if and when the matter is being considered.
Should this letter fail to adequately addresses your concerns, please feel free to contact
me at (619) 336-4310 or visit the City's Development Services Counter, located inside
City Hall at 1243 National City Boulevard, National City. Your input is appreciated.

Dear Ron:

San �.iegc. CA 92191-9017
619 ,153-3388
We are in receipt of the copy of the letter from Rita Heuss that was forwarded to our offices
today. Please accept this letter as GTE's response to the first three questions posed by Ms.
Reuss concerning our proposed cell site facility at El Toyon Park.
Question: "Is this a microwave system or is it going to emit "EMF's" (electromagnetic
fields)?"
Answer: This site is not a microwave site, but a cellular radiofrequency facility. As such,
it does emit radio waves.
Question: "If there are "EMF's" can you guarantee they are not harmful to humans?"
Answer. Cellular radio waves are electromagnetic energy produced in a frequency band
between 800-900 MHz. Frequency refers to the number of waves passing a given point
during a given time. Radio waves are "non -ionizing", meaning that they do not have
enough energy to strip electrons from atoms or molecules. In this way, radio waves are
similar to visible light. Cellular telephone facilities do not emit x-rays or gamma rays,
which are "ionizing" because these higher energies are sufficient to strip electrons from
atoms or molecules. Electromagnetic energy exposure is very common. It occurs from
radio and television broadcasts as well as a variety of natural sources. such as the flow
of electrical charges from within the earth, the sun and the human body.
The frequency currently used by the cellular companies is simply part of the UHF
television band that has been reallocated by the FCC for mobile communications.
Average exposure from a fully -developed cellular tower typically less that one -millionth
of a watt per square centimeter. The exposure to radio waves has been evaluated by a
-number of scientific organizations -and governmental agencies in the United States and
around the world, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C95.1 and
the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report 686. GTE
Wireless meets these standards and the vast majority of exposures from cellular
systems are far below that allowed by these standards. On August 1, 1996, the FCC
adopted RF exposure sti..dards that are a hybrid of the current ANSI and NCRP
standards. The current standards are set at 50 times below a level that the majority of
the scientific community believes could pose a health risk to human populations, and
public exposure from a cellular facility is more than 500 times below that standard. in
August of 1997, the FCC issued OET Bulletin No. 65 as a guideline for all wireless
camers requiring full compliance with the new standards. All existing sites. as well as
new, are required to adhere to these standards.
Apart c:C,
Mr. Ron Santos
July 17, 1998
Page Two
Question: "Can GTE guarantee this will not interfere with our telephones and
televisions?'
Answer. There should be no interference because land -line telephones do not operate on
radiofrequency and television transmissions operate on a different radiofrequency band.
GTE has several cell site facilities in National City without reports of such interference.
GTE hopes this addresses the concerns raised by Ms. Heuss, and if there are further questions,
please contact our office at 646-1895.

Design Proposal for Fiber Optic Traffic Signal Interconnect
For Plaza Blvd
City of National City
BRW Inc. is pleased to submit an extended proposal to design a fiber optic communications system
for the City of National City covering the design of a fiber optic network and associated equipment
and terminations at City Hall.
Task 1. Fiber Optic Communications Network
A. Identify Type and Size of Fiber
The number and type of fibers needed to communicate with the existing signals and 1
proposed future CCTV camera site on Plaza Boulevard at Highland will depend on the
hardware and firmware capacity of the QuicNet4 signal control system. BRW will coordinate
with BiTran Systems to design an operational communications system that will be compatible
with the QN4 system and allow expandability.
The number of fibers will be determined based on proposed and future needs, to include Plaza
Boulevard fiber counts, fiber capacity for National City Boulevard signals and future cameras,
30th Street Corridor (12-15 signals and 6 or more future CCTV cameras), and reasonable
expansion for possible future coordination with adjoining municipalities or regional needs.
B. Cabinet Termination Design
BRW will design the termination method for fiber optic cables in the existing 332 and 337
traffic signal cabinets. This will require a field survey to determine the available space in the
cabinets to house additional cabling, fiber optic modems, and uninterrupted power supplies
(UPS) to provide continuous service during short power outages to each of the controllers
and the proposed future CCTV cameras.
C. Modem Design
BRW will identify the type of fiber optic modems best suited for use in National City. The
design parameters of the modems will determine how much signal loss can be tolerated over
the distances in the field, and provide the most robust communications in the fiber optic
network. - - -
D. Conduit Design Review & Modification
BRW will review the existing interconnect designs to determine available conduit and sweep
capacity. Any required changes in the current designs to accommodate fiber shall be provided
and estimates and special provisions modified accordingly to fully accommodate the
construction and installation.
BRW will determine the pros and cons of using shared conduit for fiber installations, and look
at existing conduit size and capacity. It is assumed that the results of that analysis will
strongly suggest an independent conduit dedicated to use for fiber cable only. BRW will
provide design of these facilities, and assumes the City will provide CADD files.

1 Scope of Work
Task 2. City Hall CCTV Controls & Fiber Systems
A. Fiber Optic Equipment
BRW shall determine the number of fiber optic channels required for existing and known
future expansion needs. The number and type of fiber modems will be determined, as well
as space requirements for the equipment racks needed to house the systems communications
hardware. BRW will also verify the existing interconnect conduit path the fiber will take
entering the building and TMC, and design revisions, as necessary to accommodate fiber.
BRW will design and provide all equipment descriptions and plans with details to support a
successful installation of the fiber endpoint at City Hall. Specifications and revisions to the
Engineer's Estimate will be provided.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR AN
INDOOR BAZAAR WITHIN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING
AT 1320 HIGHLAND AVENUE.
APPLICANT:. KYE CHUAN CHU
CASE FILE NO.: CUP-1998-5
WHEREAS, the appeal to the City Council of the Planning Commission's denial of a Condi-
tional Use Permit application (CUP-1998-5) was considered by the City Council of the City of National
City at a public hearing held on September 1, 1998, at which time oral and documentary evidence was
presented; and.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report contained in Case
File Nos. CUP-1998-5, which is maintained by the City, and incorporated herein by reference; and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State and City
law; and,
WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public
health, safety and general welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of National City, Cali-
fornia, that the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on Sep-
tember 1, 1998 fail to support findings, required by the Municipal Code for granting any conditional use
permit, that the proposed use will not have an adverse effect on adjacent or abutting properties, and that
the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of National City, California, that
the testimony and evidence presented to City Council at the public hearing held on September 1, 1998
support the following findings: -
1. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect on adjacent or abutting properties in that it fails to
support General Plan policies which encourage high -quality retail business development, seek to
improve the diversity and quality of the City's economic environment, and promote preservation
and strengthening of existing commercial uses.
2. That the proposed use is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare,
since it is expected to result in an over -concentration of substantially similar uses; and the
applicant's lack of relevant business experience and failure to abide by City regulations in
establishing the proposed use demonstrates a lack of management expertise.

view of this decision may be sought is governed by the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section
