Environmental review: Categorically Exempt pursuant to Class 3 Section 15303
(New Construction or Conversion of small structures)
BACKGROUND
Site characteristics
The project site is located at 1445 Tidelands Avenue, shown on the current zoning map
as being in the Medium Industrial (IM) zone, and also within the Coastal Zone. The long,
narrow, relatively flat parcel is located between Tidelands Avenue to the west and the
railroad right-of-way to the east.
The recent Land Use Code Update is not active in the Coastal Zone. This is due to the
fact that the necessary changes in the City's Local Coastal Plan have not been
approved by the Coastal Commission. Therefore, the City's previous zoning would
generally apply. In this case the zone would have been MM-CZ (Medium Manufacturing
— Coastal Zone) — essentially the same zone.
History
There are two existing wireless facilities located at the same site; a Sprint facility
approved in 2001 and an AT&T facility approved in 2005. Both are faux palm trees and
are 40 and 50 feet tall respectively. Along with the respective equipment shelters, the site
is also developed with several five palm trees. The quality of landscaping is fairly poor,
with ground cover and vegetation sparsely located around the site.
Project proposal
The applicant proposes to install a 60-foot tall faux palm tree and a 257 square -foot
equipment shelter. Tree -mounted equipment includes twelve 6-foot tall panel antennas
and a 4-foot diameter microwave dish. The new facility is proposed directly south of the
existing facilities. No additional landscaping is proposed, although an existing palm tree
would need to be reJocated to accommodate the project. The facility also proposes to
have an emergency generator in case of power failure. The generator would be on a
concrete pad adjacent to the proposed equipment shelter.
Analysis
The proposal is a good example of a stealth facility, consistent with City policy. The
antennas are proposed to project approximately three feet from the tree trunk but will
be obscured by the fronds. Wiring between the tree and shelter uses an "ice bridge",
which is a conduit between the two. The two existing facilities have underground wiring,
consistent with City policy. A condition has been added to require that all wiring
between the shelter and the tree trunk shall be placed underground. The equipment
shelter would be covered with a smooth stucco coating to match the finish of the
existing buildings on -site and would also be surrounded by chain link fence.
The proposed shelter structure is similar in size to the existing shelters on -site. The
proposed shelter is 24'-6" by 10'-6" feet in size (257 square feet) and approximately 11
feet high. The existing shelters for Sprint and AT&T are around 200 and 300 square
feet respectively, and are both 10 feet high. To enhance the site, staff is proposing a
condition of approval requiring that the applicant re -plant the areas on -site that have
deadidying or non-existent plant material.
There are approximately eight live palm trees in the area of the wireless facilities
ranging in height form 19feet to 50-feet. With the existing palm trees and condition to
replant nearby Tower -lying landscape material, the proposed 60-foot high faux palm tree
is expected to fit in well with the surrounding area. A condition has also been added to
encourage the relocated palm tree to be placed south of the proposed site, in order to
further screen the faux palm.
To be further consistent with City policy, co -location with existing facilities was
researched. Based on the `search ring', the applicant has stated that there was no
ability to locate on the existing facility, but was able to locate the proposed facility
adjacent to an existing facility on the same site. By locating adjacent to an existing
facility, there is greater opportunity to camouflage the mono -palms with the cluster of
palm trees and other vegetation.
The facility is proposed to improve service between Interstate 5 and the waterfront to
the west of the site. Based on the attached Coverage Map, the area currently has
limited or weak service. The facility is expected to generate only one to two vehicle trips
per month for maintenance staff and is unlikely to have any impacts on local traffic
patterns.
Local Coastal Plan
The project area is not within an area of retained Coastal Commission permit
jurisdiction or in an area of appeal jurisdiction. It is also within an area generally
exempted from the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) process. However, the required
discretionary review (CUP) triggers a public hearing for the CDP also. As part of said
discretionary review, the Planning Commission must find that the granting of the CDP is
consistent with and implements the Certified Local Coastal Program. The project is
compliant with this finding in that it involves a stealth wireless facility, a conditionally -
allowed use in the Mlbi-CZ zone, and will not prohibit coastal access or obstruct views.
Comments were received from the Building Department and require compliance with
current and new 2014 codes. Standard Conditions of Approval for wireless facilities are
also included, requiring compiiance with local, state, and federal codes, and that any
external equipment is painted to match the surface on which it is mounted.
Summary
The proposed project is consistent with the Land Use Code in that it meets all
applicable design requirements for wireless communication facilities. The project is
considered 'stealth' and blends in with existing facilities and nearby development. The
new facility will help to provide coverage in an area with limited service and provide
additional reception for Verizon Wireless customers.

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
2013-24 CUP, CDP — 1445 Tidelands
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the facility,
including the faux palm tree and shelter (257 square feet), can easily be
accommodated on the 0.40 acre site, and will not affect surrounding existing uses.
2. 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 the unmanned wireless communications facility requires oniy
one ici two visits each month for routine maintenance, which will have a negligible
effect on the adjacent developed streets.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the 60-foot artificial palm tree will adequately screen the twelve
panel antennas, and since the landscaping and fencing on -site will provide
adequate screening of the equipment shelter from adjacent properties.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public
convenience and welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Verizon
Wireless communications network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers.
5. That the proposed project is consistent with and implements the Certified Local
Coastal Program, since the proposed stealth wireless facility, is a conditionally -
allowed use in the MM-CZ zone and will not prohibit coastal access or obstruct
views,

be removed within 24 hours of its observance.
17.The permittoe 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 and the complaining user. This condition in no
