"A„ 2014-07 CUP Paradise Village Retirement Complex 554-280-01 Martin Reeder, AICP — Principal Planner Danielle Weizman for AT&T Mobility Adventist Health Systems West MXD-2 — Major Mixed -Use District Item no. 5 June 2, 2014 9.62 acres Single-family residential across E. 4th St. / RS-2 San Diego Academy / MXD-2 Commercial and church uses / MXD-2 Residential use and Paradise Valley Hospital / I Categorically Exempt pursuant to Class 3 Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of small structures) BACKGROUND Site Characteristics The project site is the Paradise Village Retirement Complex, which is comprised of 6 five -story buildings on a 9.62-acre property. From north to south, there is a residential building in the northeast corner of the property, a large mufti -purpose building (bank, restaurant, theater, etc.), two residential buildings flanking the multi -purpose building, then two more residential buildings flanking a recreational area at the south end of the lot. Each of the two southern residential building pairs appears as one; they are attached by a portion of building that houses a bridge that connects to the other group of buildings. Nearby uses include Paradise Valley Hospital and San Diego Academy, as well as residential and commercial uses, and a church (Paradise Valley Seventh Day Adventist). Proposed Use AT&T proposes to install a new wireless communications facility consisting of a new architecturally integrated structure on the roof of the existing Paradise Village retirement facility. The site will house a total of (12) new panel antennas, (24) remote radio units (RRU's), and (2) GPS antennas, along with a base station equipment shetter at grade that will be converted from an existing storage room on the first floor of the existing building. The architectural feature will be a 1 2-foot tall penthouse on the roof the residential building south of the multi -purpose building. The penthouse would be stucco to match the residential building and would also have a matching tile roof. A chase (cable tray) will be installed on the outside of the building, travelling across the roof and going down the side of the building. The chase will be textured and painted to match the surface on which it is located. Analysis Consistent with City policy, the proposed facility will not be highly visible to the observer, since the antennas will be completely contained within an architectural feature that matches the building upon which it is mounted. The proposal also avoids the need for accessory equipment screening by locating the equipment inside the existing parking garage. Exhibit B shows the proposed penthouse in a photo simulation. AT&T is currently in the process of upgrading its existing facilities to their newer 4G LTE technology, which requires larger antennas and upgraded equipment. There is an existing AT&T facility to the south of the proposed location within the Paradise Valley Seventh Day Adventist church. However, due to the increased size of the newer equipment and the existing restricted space within the church building, the facility is no longer suitable. Furthermore, the new location would offer more than double the existing coverage area for the AT&T network, increasing service reliability for its customers (see attached coverage maps), and would replace the original facility. The antennas would provide coverage to the north, southeast, and south west. This area stretches from Logan Avenue in San Diego south to approximately 19th Street in National City. With the subject building being higher than all buildings adjacent in the area, the antennas would have clear reception and transmission in those directions. Nearby land uses in these directions are single-family residential, vacant land, a church, and a school respectively. However, the antennas are positioned in such a way as to be directed above any nearby sensitive uses. Although there are such land uses in the vicinity, it should be mentioned that, per the 1996 Telecommunications Act, "no State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions." It should also be pointed out that if approved by a local jurisdiction, all wireless communications facilities must obtain all required state and federal permits in order to operate. A Condition of Approval (No. 11) is included requiring these permits. Comments were received from the Building and Fire Departments and require compliance with their respective codes. Standard Conditions of Approval for wireless facilities are also included, requiring compliance with applicable codes, all necessary state/local/federal permits, and that any external equipment is painted to match the surface on which it is mounted. Summary The proposed wireless communications facility is an example of a stealth facility, as required by City policy. In addition, the facility will provide expanded service to local AT&T customers. The use will be installed completely within a penthouse and existing building, therefore not placing a burden on existing facilities, businesses or City streets. Furthermore, Conditions of Approval will ensure that the facility functions effectively and without impact to surrounding uses. RECOMMENDATION Approve 2014-07 CUP subject to the conditions listed below, based on attached findings/findings to be determined by the Planning Commission. ATTACHMENTS 1. Recommended Findings for Approval 2. Recommended Conditions 3. Location Map 4. Nearby Wireless Facilities Map v. Site Photos 8. Coverage Maps . Public Hearing Notice (Sent to 122 property owners) 8. Notice of Exemption 9. Applicant's Plans (Exhibits A and B, Case File No. 2014-07 CUP, dated 4/28/14) MARTIN REEDER, AICP Principal Planner BRAD RAULSTON Executive Director RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL 2014-07 CUP — 2720 East 4th St. "A" 1. That the proposed use is allowable within the applicable zoning district pursuant to a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use Code, since a wireless communications facility is a conditionally - permitted use in theXD-2 zone. 2. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plans, since Policy E-3.3 of the General Plan is to increase access to wireless Internet connections, computers, and other forms of communication technology, and since no Specific Plans exist in this area. 3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the proposed antennas and associated equipment are to be incorporated into and upon an existing building and will not increase the footprint of that building, thus not affecting parking or access. 4. 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 only one to two visits each month for routine maintenance, which will have a negligible effect on the adjacent developed streets. 6. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the 12 antennas will be painted to match the existing building, and as such will not be highly visible from adjacent properties. 6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmentai Quality Act, since staff has already detemmined that the proposed use is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 3 Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Conditional Use Permit, RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 2014-07 CUP — 2720 East 4th St. "A" General 1.
