Environmental Setting
The site is bounded on the north, east and west by vacant open space land within the
Canyon Hills Specific Plan, and south by vacant single family residential land.
Discussion
The proposed plan indicates that there are three (3) existing "T- Mobile ", "Sprint ", and
"Cingular" Wireless Antennas which are located at the north and east side of the
communication facility and are stealthed by "rectangular" shape simulated boulders.
The facility also includes a fenced equipment shelter that can be accessed by three (3)
existing access easements. The twenty -foot (20') easement located between existing
residential units provides ingress and egress to the existing electrical transformer. A
second twelve -foot (12') easement provides access to the existing communication
equipment, with the last easement providing access to the stealth antennas located at
the east side of the hill. The proposed location currently includes an electrical
transformer, a communications facility, an electrical equipment enclosure and the
stealth antennas. The entire site is currently secured by a chain link fence. The project
site area is only visible from the Cedarhill Lane area of Canyon Hills.
Analysis
Staff supports the proposed Conditional Use Permit application for the following
reasons:
1. Transmission /Calling Coverage: After extensive research regarding potential site
placement, Verizon Wireless has concluded that due to the height requirements and
the coverage objective of the selected search ring, there are no other practical
locations for Verizon Wireless. The applicant has indicated that in order to provide
the desirable service, the antennas must be oriented in three (3) different directions

in order to provide 360 degree coverage. With the surrounding residential
development being at 1710 feet above sea level and the top of the hill being at 1810
feet above sea level, the ten -foot (10') high antennas will meet Verizon's height
requirements.
2. Stealthing Improvements: The proposed "faux boulder" antennas, which resemble
the existing boulder outcroppings in design, appearance and character will serve to
conceal the antennas from view, as depicted in the photo simulations (Attachment
4), while giving the appearance of natural boulder clusters. Concealment of the
antennas is further enhanced by the remote site location as well as underground
cabling for the proposed facility. Views of the stealth antennas will be from a
distance since the site location is not accessible to the public. It should be noted
that since no viable source for water exists near the facility and also the site is an
and environment, landscaping is not proposed.
3. Decorative Fencing: The proposed equipment cabinets will be located within an
approximately 440 square foot lease area. Security for the lease area will be
provided by the existing walls and a six -foot (6') high decorative wrought iron fence
painted "Desert Tan" to match the existing habitat.
4. Operation and Maintenance: There will be virtually no increase in traffic in the
area as a result of this project. After construction, Verizon Wireless technicians visit
the facility approximately once every four (4) to six (6) weeks. Additionally, no
increase in ambient noise level is anticipated as there are no external air
conditioning units needed or proposed for this facility. The applicant is responsible
to maintain the site in its original condition and will be required to obtain an
easement rights from EVMWD.
Environmental Determination
Staff has determined that the proposed project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code § §21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the
State CEQA Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs § §15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to
Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) because the
proposed project consists of the construction and location of a limited number of new,
small facilities or structures.

businesses or residents and therefore are permitted subject to the issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit, which allows the City to comprehensively review and approve
the use; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been
delegated with the responsibility of reviewing and approving, conditionally approving,
or denying Conditional Use Permits; and
WHEREAS, notice of the Project has been given, and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development
Department and other interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this
item on April 16, 2013.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered Conditional Use Permit
No. 2012 -05 for the Verizon Wireless Telecommunication Facilities prior to making a
decision and has found it acceptable.
SECTION 2. The California Legislature has determined that certain classes of
projects do not have a significant effect on the environment and are therefore exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 et seq.:
PC April 16, 2013 Item No. 2

"CEQA ") and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000
et seq.: the "CEQA Guidelines "). A Class 3 Exemption exists for the:
"Construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small
structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use
to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the
structure."
The proposed wireless telecommunication facility equipment, faux boulder
towers, and associated improvements qualify for a Class 3 exemption because they
involve the construction of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and the
installation of small new equipment and facilities.
None of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions as set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15300.2 are applicable. The facilities will not result in damage to
scenic resources, including trees (except those dead or dying), and is not located on
any site compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5 (hazardous and toxic
waste sites).
Therefore, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the
Project is exempt from CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. In accordance with the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the
Planning Commission makes the following findings for the approval of Conditional Use
Permit No. 2012 -05:
1. The proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting,
is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning
district in which the Site is located.
The wireless communication facility is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the General Plan, which require that the City provide infrastructure and services to
support existing and future land uses. Given the recent increase in wireless
communications devices, demand for better service reception has resulted in a
demand for more wireless communications facilities. The Project. will contribute to
the overall number of facilities that service the City, its residents, and guests.
As proposed, the wireless telecommunication facility will sit above the Canyon Hills
water tank, within the Canyon Hills Specific Plan. According to the Specific Plan,
the purpose of the area in which the facility will be located is to preserve
environmental and scenic resources. The wireless communication facility is
designed to blend in with the natural setting as a faux boulder facility which furthers
the intent of this purpose.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety,
PC April 16, 2013 Item No. 2
Page 7 of 17
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2012- 05
PAGE 3OF5
comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of
the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood or the City.
All applicable City departments and agencies have been afforded the
opportunity to review the Conditional Use Permit and their comments have
been addressed in the conditions of approval attached to the staff report for this
Project. Conditions have been applied relating to the installation, design and
maintenance, regulations of points of vehicular ingress and egress and control
of potential nuisances, so as to eliminate any negative impacts to the general
health, safety, comfort, or welfare of the surrounding neighborhood or the City
3. The Site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping,
buffers and other features required by this title.
The location for the proposed wireless communication facility is appropriate to
the site and surrounding developments. The tower and antenna are shaped in
the form of a faux boulder and will blend into the surrounding topography.
Further the proposed wireless communication facility will complement the
quality of the existing development and will create a visually pleasing, non -
detractive relationship between the proposed and existing projects in
architectural design, color and materials.
4. The Site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with
proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of
traffic generated by the subject use.
The additional traffic generated by the approval of this wireless communication
facility will not be significant. These facilities require minimal maintenance; but
to the extent that they do, the site is served by an existing twenty (20) foot wide
paved ingress /egress easement from Cedar Lane, which will allow service
crews access to the wireless communication facility at the top of the hill.
5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no
adverse effect on abutting property or the permitted and normal use thereof.
The proposed wireless communication facility is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments in that the tower and antennas have been designed
with as faux boulders, which blend into the landscape and topography of the
area. Further the proposed wireless communication facility will complement the
quality of the existing development and will create a visually pleasing, non -
detractive relationship between the proposed and existing facility in architectural
design, color and materials.
6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal
