Planning Application No. 2019-15 (Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-05 and Commercial
Design Review No. 2019-07) proposes to construct a new 75-foot high wireless communications
facility disguised as a pine tree consisting of 12 panel antennas, 36 Remote Radio Units (RRUs),
six (6) surge suppressors at 66 ft. centerline, and two (2) microwave antennas at 38 ft. centerline

generator. Two (2) live pine trees (45 ft. and 35 ft. in height) will be planted around the project
area.
Access to the facility will be provided via a non-exclusive access easement from Machado Street.
The Project will be located within an existing self-storage facility located at the southwesterly
corner of Lakeshore Drive and Machado Street, more specifically 16401 Lakeshore Drive (APN:
379-250-044).
The Project was originally heard at the July 16, 2019 Planning Commission meeting but was
continued to the August 20, 2019 Planning Commission meeting in order to allow the applicant
additional time to research the need for microwave antennas. The applicant's engineer
determined that a microwave antenna would be necessary for backhaul connectivity, since an
optical fiber line is not available for the subject site. The applicant revised the site plan and
elevation plans to include two (2) microwave antennas at 38 ft. centerline on the proposed facility.
The project was approved at the August 20, 2019 Planning Commission meeting with a 4-0 vote.
No one spoke in opposition of the project and only the applicant attended the hearing.
City Council Action
The Planning Commission's decision is final and no action by the City Council is required unless
the City Council assumes jurisdiction by ordering the matter set for a future noticed public hearing,
or the applicant or an interested person files a complete appeal application within 15 days of this
notice appearing on the City Council's agenda.
Fiscal Impact
The time and costs related to processing this Project have been covered by fees paid for by the
applicant. No General Fund budgets have been allocated or used in the processing of this
application. The approval of the Project does not fiscally impact the City's General Fund.
Mitigation Measures to protect the City fiscally have already been included in the Conditions of
Approval.
