Findings and Exhibits, and subject to the proposed Conditions of Approval.
Proiect Request
The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit and related Minor Design
Review for the design and construction of a Monopalm Unmanned Wireless Antenna
Facility and associated improvements pursuant to Chapters 17.184 (Design Review)
and 17.112 (Non - Residential Development Standards) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code (LEMC). The proposed project consists of a 70 -foot high Monopalm
telecommunications antenna and an 840± square foot equipment shelter and related
improvements.
Discussion
The Planning Commission considered this item at their February 18, 2010 meeting.
However, the applicant and the owner's representative (Dan Lincoln) had some
concerns related to Condition of Approval No. 25, which states "The owner shall
dedicate in fee title to the City a 27' strip of right -of -way along Railroad Canyon Road
adjacent to the property frontage for a total right -of -way of 67' wide from centerline to
the project property line on Rail Road Canyon Road."
Following the Planning Commission's discussion of this condition, Mr. Franklin
requested the item to be continued so that he could have the opportunity to meet with
the Lambs Fellowship owners so that they could consider their options before making a
decision. The Planning Commission concurred with this request and continued the item
to March 18, 2014.
Following the Planning Commission hearing, Staff and City Attorney Barbara Leibold
further discussed this condition and now recommend that the Planning Commission
delete Condition of Approval No. 25.

Discussion
The proposed plan indicates that a single 70' high Monopalm tree will be installed and
although it may appear to exceed height of the existing palm trees that are located
along Railroad Canyon Road, it will actually blend in just right because the proposed
antenna and the equipment facility will be approximately 15' to 20' feet below the grade
along Railroad Canyon Road. The equipment facility which will include the generator,
the equipment shelter and the antenna will be enclosed by a six -foot high block and it
will be accessed via a six- foot high solid metal gate. The facility will be accessed via a
proposed Verizon wireless 20' -0" wide non - exclusive access easement.
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

PAGE 3 OF 4
locations for Verizon Wireless and that is the reason why a 70' high antenna is
required and still meet Verizon height requirements.
2. Stealthing Improvements: The proposed "Monopalm" antenna, which will
resemble the existing palm trees along Railroad Canyon Road in design,
appearance and character and the faux palm prongs will serve to conceal the
antenna from view, as depicted in the photo simulations, while giving the
appearance of natural palm tree.
3. Decorative Fencing: The proposed equipment cabinets will be located within a
20'x42' or approximately 840 square foot lease area. Security for the lease area will
be provided by a six -foot (6') high block wall painted "Desert Tan" to match the
existing buildings.
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
conditionings units needed or proposed for this facility.
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
Project is consists of the construction and location of a limited number of new small
facilities and structures
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
