Adopt Resolution No. 2014- ; A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, Approving a Minor Design Review Request by Verizon Wireless for the Approval of a Monopalm Unmanned Wireless Antenna, Equipment Facility, and Improvements Located at 31089 Riverside Drive, based on the Findings, Exhibits, and proposed Conditions of Approval. CUP NO. 2014 -04 /MINOR DESIGN REVIEW JUNE 3, 2014 PAGE 2OF3 Project Request The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the design and construction of a Monopalm Unmanned Wireless Antenna Facility and associated improvements located at 31089 Riverside Drive site pursuant to Chapters 17.184 (Design Review) and 17.112 (Non - Residential Development Standards) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC). Proiect Location The subject project is located at 31089 Riverside Drive and is currently owned by The Bresson Family Trust. More specifically the proposed antenna and equipment facility will be located at the rear half of the existing overflow parking lot which can only be accessed from Fraser Drive that services the existing commercial center located at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Lakeshore Drive. Environmental Setting The subject property is surrounded by single - family residential units at the northwest and at the southwest, and by commercial development at the northeast and southeast. Project Site Parking Lot C2 — General Commercial General Commercial Northwest Single Family Residential C2 — General Commercial General Commercial Southwest Single Family Residential C2 — General Commercial General Commercial Northeast Commercial C2 — General Commercial General Commercial Southwest Commercial C2 — General Commercial General Commercial Discussion The proposed plan indicates that a single 45 -foot high Monopalm tree will be installed and it will blend in with the existing palm trees that are along Fraser Street and those located near the site. The equipment facility which will include the generator, the equipment shelter and the antenna, will be enclosed by a 6' -0" foot high block wall and it will be accessed via a 6' -0" foot high solid metal gate. 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 CUP NO. 2014 -04 /MINOR DESIGN REVIEW JUNE 3, 2014 PAGE 3OF3 locations for Verizon Wireless and that is the reason why a 45 -foot 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 Fraser Drive 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'x45' or approximately 930 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 building. 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 for its regular maintenance and removal of any graffiti. 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.

The wireless communication facility conforms 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 be located at the rear half of the existing overflow parking of an existing commercial center, which is accessed from Fraser Drive. The wireless communication facility is designed to blend in with the natural setting as a faux Monopalm tree which furthers the intent of this purpose. 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, 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 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014- PAGE 3 OF 5 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 Monopalm and will blend into the surrounding topography and landscape. Further the proposed wireless communication facility will complement the quality of the existing palm trees along Fraser Drive and Riverside Drive 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.
