1 That the proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan, since Policy OS-
5.2 strives to meet and maintain a park to population ratio of 4.75 acres per
1,000 residents — a ratio which is currently less than 3 acres per 1,000 residents
— and since there are multiple General Plan policies that discourage loss of open
space, which would result from an additional wireless facility in the park.
2. That the site for the proposed use is not adequate in size and shape, since the
combined footprint of the three existing facilities (approximately 1,157 square feet)
and the proposed 408 square -foot facility would reduce space within the 2.35-acre
public park by almost two percent.
3. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the new facility would exacerbate existing safety and security
issues related to graffiti, loitering, and drug usage in the corner of the park where
the project is proposed.
4. That the proposed use is not deemed essential and desirable to the public
convenience and welfare, since it will increase the private use of a public park to the
exclusion of the public and decrease useable park area for the enjoyment of the
general public.
