Santa Clara Ave.) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-12 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nicole Comach with Virtual Site Walk, on behalf of SBA Monarch Towers III, LLC (Applicant) and Long Ridge Associates, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-12 to renew the entitlements of an existing 56-foot high major wireless (“mono-pine”) communications facility located at 2151 East Santa Clara Avenue. Pursuant to Section 41-198.3(b) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), major wireless communications facilities require approval of a CUP and are required to be renewed every 10 years. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request due to the facility’s location that minimizes aesthetic intrusion to the surrounding area and its ability to continue to provide a community benefit through wireless communications service and coverage. DISCUSSION Project Description The applicant is requesting approval of CUP No. 2021-12 to renew the entitlements of an existing 56-foot high major wireless communications facility disguised as a mono- pine. The facility currently provides cellular coverage and call capacity to residential and commercial areas within Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood Association area. The facility’s equipment and antennas are located at the rear of a multitenant commercial development, and existing mature trees on the site assist with camouflaging the stealth facility. At this time, no new or additional antennas and/or equipment are being proposed.

Use Permissions Allowed with approval of a CUP Uses Section 41-198.3(b)Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-198 Table 2: Development Standards Standards Required by SAMC Provided Screening Criteria A stealth facility Complies; mono-pine Site Selection Areas that will minimize aesthetic intrusion Complies; the facility is located within a commercial development area and the tower and equipment are located towards the rear of the property and away from sensitive land uses Height Criteria Not to exceed 60 feet in height from ground level as measured from the nearest street curb Complies; 56-feet high Landscaping Groundcover at the base of the facility and one twenty-four (24) inch box tree Complies; ground cover at the base of the tower and existing palm trees throughout the site Equipment Screening Decorative fencing such as wrought iron or block around the wireless facility Complies; 7-foot high wrought iron fence Project Background On August 9, 2010, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 2010-11 to allow the construction of the subject mono-pine and equipment enclosure. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-198.3(b), a CUP is required for all major wireless communications facilities in the City. Furthermore, Section 41-198.13 states that major wireless communications facilities shall be approved for a period not to exceed 10 years. As the current entitlements have reached the ten-year lifespan, the applicant is required to apply for a new CUP in order to maintain the entitlements current for the facility. Project Analysis CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. In analyzing the CUP request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants staff’s recommendation. 8/23/2021 Planning Commission 1 –2 CUP No. 2021-12 Major Wireless Communications Facility Renewal August 23, 2021 Page 3 1 9 2 5 As part of the development review of the project, staff worked closely with the applicant to identify improvements to enhance the overall appearance of the site. These improvements include the replacement of all deteriorating and/or faded stealth branches and needles, and refreshing the antenna socks, as need. In addition, the applicant will be refreshing the existing landscape surrounding the facility and will be installing another queen palm tree to the left of the facility to further assist with screening the facility. This tree will also match existing palms onsite. In processing wireless communications facilities, the City of Santa Ana must consider provisions contained within Section 6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act [47 U.S.C. § 1455(a)], which limits the ability of local agencies to impose additional conditions of approval when cell phone tower permits are renewed. These limits include additional stealthing if such screening or stealthing was not required at the time of original construction and/or seismic retrofits. This location is optimal to provide the coverage necessary for existing and expanding service. The facility provides a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to mobile phone services by providing cellular and data capacity in the area. The facility will be in compliance with Federal law that governs health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Finally, the use will continue to comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The facility continues to meet all height, location/zoning, and stealthing standards. The facility will not adversely affect the General Plan, as cellular facilities that are designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Nicole Comach with Virtual Side Walk, representing SBA Monarch Towers III, LLC (“Applicant”) and Long Ridge Associates, LLC (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 2021-12 to renew the entitlements of an existing 56-foot tall major wireless communication facility disguised as a mono-pine located at 2151 East Santa Clara Avenue. B. On August 9, 2010, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 2010-11, allowing the construction of the subject major wireless communication facility. C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-198.3(b), a Conditional Use Permit is required for major wireless communication facilities established in the City of Santa Ana. D. In addition, SAMC Section 41-198.13 states that major wireless communications facilities shall be approved for a period not to exceed ten (10) years. E. As the current facility has reached its ten-year term, the applicant is required to apply for a new CUP in order to maintain the entitlements for the current facility. F. On August 23, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-12. G. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-12 to renew the entitlements of an existing 56-foot tall major wireless communication facility: 8/23/2021 Planning Commission 1 –5 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 2 of 8 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or the community. The major wireless communication facility will continue to provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to cellular services by providing cellular service and data coverage for its users within the vicinity. The issuance of a new CUP will allow the provider to continue to provide a service to the surrounding community. 2. That the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The issuance of a new CUP to maintain a wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the facility will remain in compliance with Federal law that governs health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The facility is compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The stealthing provided by the facility’s location at the rear of the site will maintain and increase the economic stability of the area by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. 4. That the proposed use shall comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use will continue to comply with all provisions pertaining to the continuation of existing wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The facility will continue to be stealthed by its design and surrounding landscape and will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC. In addition, a live palm tree, complementing the existing onsite landscaping, will be planted adjacent to the facility to assist with overall screening. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The major wireless communication facility will not adversely affect the General Plan as cellular facilities that are designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment are 8/23/2021 Planning Commission 1 –6 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 3 of 8 consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address community needs, which includes means of communication that will be served by the facility. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments’ impacts. The mono-pine’s location minimizes visual impact on the area and assists with the stealthing of the equipment. Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for services. Maintaining cellular coverage in the area maintains the services that are already available for business owners, workers, visitors and residents in the immediate vicinity. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2020-54 will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. 8/23/2021 Planning Commission 1 –7 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 4 of 8 Section 4.
