APPLICANT: GTE MOBILNET OF SAN DIEGO CASE FILE NO. CUP-1998-4 PREPARED BY Ron Santos DEPARTMENT Planning 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 sloped embankment running along the northern bound- ary of the park. This design 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 used to illuminate the ball field. Antennas attached to the top of the pole would add 13 feet, to the structure's overall height. The use of existing structures (as proposed) is typically encouraged. Planning Commission voted to approve the application at the July 20, 1998 meeting, subject to compliance with standard conditions of approval. In addition, adopted conditions require GTE to provide the Parks and Recreation Department with 2-4 hours advance notice prior to non-scheduled maintenance visits and to coordinate siting of associated underground utilities with Sweetwater Authority so as to avoid any potential conflicts with a water well planned in the park. At the hearing, the Commission considered staff response to inquires received from a concerned resident regarding several aspects of the project. The letter and response is attached. Testimony in support of the project was provided wthe applicant. No other public comment was received. Environmental Review X N/A Financial Statement N/A Account No STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff concurs with the cecision of the Planning Commission and recommends that the Notice of Decision be filed.

Letter from National City resident and staff response Resolution No A-100 Rev RESOLUTION NO. 8-98 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AT 2005 E. 4th STREET (EL TOYON PARK) APPLICANT: GTE MOBILNET OF SAN DIEGO CASE FILE NO. CUP-1998-4 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit application for a wireless communications facility at 2005 E. 4th Street at a duly advertised public hearing held on July 20, 1998, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. CUP-1998-4, which is maintained by the City and incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearing; and. WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law 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 Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on July 20, 1998, support the following findings: 1. 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. 2. 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. 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. 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. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. A cost estimate shall be submitted along with development plans. A performance bond equal to the approved cost estimate for all of the proposed grading and retaining wall work shall be posted. Three percent of the estimated cost shall be deposited with the City as an initial cost for plan checking and inspection services at the time the plans are submitted. The deposit is subject to adjustment. 2. Development Plans submitted for Building Permits must conform with the 1994 Editions of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, and Uniform Plumbing Code; and the 1993 Edition of the National Electrical Code. 3. Exterior walls of the proposed equipment building shall be treated with "Graffiti Melt Coating" manufactured by Genesis Coatings, Inc. A similar product may be used, subject to approval from the Building and Safety Director. Graffiti shall be removed within 24 hours of its observance. 4. The path of any and all underground cables and utilities associated with the proposed facility shall be modified as necessary to avoid conflict with any existing or future underground facilities installed by the City. The applicant shall coordinate planning and installation of any such underground facilities with the Parks and Recreation Department, the Public Works Department and Sweetwater Authority as necessary per the respective determination of each office. 5. The applicant shall provide the Public Works Department the opportunity to evaluate, repair and/or replace the light fixture intended to be relocated to the proposed monopole at the time the fixture is removed. 6. Permittee shall be granted non-exclusive right of ingress and egress, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day for the installation, maintenance, repair and upgrade of the facility. For all non-scheduled, emergency visits, Peiniittee shall notify the Parks and Recreation Department ("Parks") of Permittee's site visit within two hours of such event. Permittee shall notify the Parks at least four hours in advance of any routinely scheduled, non -emergency maintenance or service to the facility for such visits that do not occur during normal park hours. Permittee will provide Parks with a maintenance schedule if applicable. 7. The proposed equipment building shall be of masonry construction with stucco finish, painted and roofed to match score shacks existing on site. 8. The proposed monopole shall have a non -reflective finish matching that of other light poles existing in the park. 9. The permittee shall not object to co -locating additional facilities of other communication companies and sharing the project site, provided such shared use does not result in substantial technical or quality -of -service impairment for the permitted use. In the event a dispute arises with regard to co -locating with other existing or potential users, the City may require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both the applicant or the complaining user. This condition in no way obligates the City to approve any co -location proposal if it is determined by the City not to be desirable in a specific case. 10. If use of the equipment building, antennas and any other equipment authorized by this Conditional Use Permit is discontinued for a period of six or more consecutive months, it shall be removed by the applicant. This requirement shall not apply to the monopole. which shall be maintained or replaced with a substitute suitable for supporting required light fixtures, per the determination of the Director of Public Works. 11. Except as required by conditions of approval, development plans shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Director in conformance with Exhibit A -Revised. Case File No. CUP-1998-4. dated 06/22/98. 12. Before this Conditional Use Penult shall become effective, the applicant shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Conditional Use Permit. 13. Use of the property as authorized by this Conditional Use Permit shall be limited to the installation of a wireless communications facility consisting of a 97'-8" tall monopole supporting 12 panel antennas and three whip antennas, and one 12' x 16' x 12'-8" equipment building, as incidental use of the property. 14. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption of the resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in Section 18.116.190 of the National City Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on the day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for review, unless an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of that City Council meeting. The City Council may, at that meeting, appeal the decision of the Planning Commission and set the matter for public hearing. CERTIFICATION: This certifies that the Resolution was adopted by the Planning Commission at their meeting of August 3, 1998, by the following vote: AYES: LARGE, FLORES, DETZER, MARTINELLI, BACA, GODSHALK.

National City, CA 91950 RE: Letter from Rita ;Huss dated July 16. 1995 GTE Proposed Cell Site Facility (El Toyon Pan() Dear Ron: 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. Heuss concerning our proposed cell site facility at Ei Toyon Park. Question: -Is this a microwave system or is it going to emit 'EMF's" (electromagnetic fieids)?" 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 'c humans? Answer-. Cellular realo'waves are electromagnetic energy produced in a frequency band between 500-900 MHz. Frequency refers to the number of waves passing a cive.n point during a Given time. Facto waves are 'non -ionizing meaning that they co not nave enough energy to strip electrons from atoms or molecules. In this way, racio waves are similar to visible licnt. Cellular telephone facilities co not emit x-rays or gamma rays. which are -ionizing- because these higner energies are sufficient to strip electrons from atoms or molecules. Electromagnetic energy exposure is very common. It occurs from radio ana television Oroa0casts as well as a vanery of natural sources, such as the flow of electncal charges from within the earth. the sun ana the human booty. The frequency currently used by the cellular companies Is simply pan of the UHF television band that has been reallocated by the FCC for mobile communications. average exposure from a fully-deveiopeq cellular tower typically less that nine -millionth of a watt per square centimeter. The exposure to radio waves has aeen evaluated by a numoer of scientific oraanizatlons and gcvemmental agencies in the United States and around the word. inducing the American National Standards Institute iANSI) C95. 1 and the Nancnai Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRFj retort M86. GTE Wireless meets these standards and the vast malorrty of exposures from cellular systems are far betcw that allowed by these standards. On August 1. 1996. the FCC aaactea RF exposure standards that are a hybrid of the current .ANSI arc NORP star.oargs. The current szanaaras are set at 60 times below a level that the majority of the sq:entiric community believes c0uia pose a health r!sK :0 human p0CWatlons. and pudic exposure 'rom a cellular facility is more than 500 times below that standard. ,uuaust •cr 4997 the PICC s5ued CET 5Ulle`.'n tic 55 as a gulcellne 'or ail wireless comers "ecuir'na 'utt compliance with she "ew 51aanoara5. .I existln❑ sites_ a5 We!'as nCW _iC-__uired_ ac`-ere 'a 'hose standards. NATIONAL CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT JUL 2 0 1998 National City Planning Commission: Rita J. Heuss 21:1 E. Fourth St. National City. C.A. 91950 619 670-8183 I am extremely interested in the GTE conditional use permit Case File No: CLP- 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 "ENT's" (electro magnetic fields)? 2. If there are "EMFls " can you gnnrantee 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 oniy one or is it the start of one on every light pole in El Tovon 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. Lastly. and probably most importantly, where and how will the monies made hiom this venture be spent? I strongly reel. at least 50°'° of the money should stay in El Tovon 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 pan or:his revenue needed to co for security and other needed safet:. measures. This will .help insure that the park can he used by the ggood tbiks or the community with the l g east amount orpoise. boom Poxes. _ur._ acti.it..: etc. that make strategic :c r :.`le homeowners urrounuin :he park. The homes on First St.. L' Ave.. NIeirose and Fourth St. that are involved ln this are 909'0 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,
