EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Crystal Rodrigues-Maramba with Coastal Business Group Inc., on behalf of AT&T Wireless (Applicant) and Nexus Garden Plaza, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-13 for new 60-foot high major wireless (“mono-pine”) communications facility located at 2112 East Fourth St. Pursuant to Section 41-198.3(b) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), major wireless communications facilities require approval of a CUP. 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 provide a community benefit. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting approval of CUP No. 2021-13 to allow the construction of a new 60-foot high major wireless communications facility disguised as mono-pine containing nine panel antennas. The mono-pine would be installed at the rear parking lot of the subject property within a new landscape planter area and be screened by a 392 square foot, eight-foot block wall enclosure. The proposed ancillary equipment will also be located within the enclosure. To assist with camouflaging the facility, two new pine trees would be installed in front of the enclosure. Additionally, the applicant will be making site improvements, including upgrades to an existing trash enclosure and refreshing the existing on-site landscaping as part of this application.

Equipment Screening Decorative fencing such as wrought iron or block around the wireless facility Complies; 8 -foot high block wall Project Background The site was developed in 1972 with the existing two-story, 31,086-square foot office building, landscaping and surface parking locate at the rear. On September 2, 2020, the applicant submitted to a development project application to the City for the construction of a major wireless facility. Since then, the applicant has worked with the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) to ensure the project complies with current regulations. Project Analysis East Professional South Community Commercial West Professional Property Size 0.34 Acres Existing Site Development The site is currently developed with a two-story, 31,086-square foot office building and associated parking and landscaping. Use Permissions Allowed with approval of a CUP Uses Section 41-198.3(b)Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-198 12/13/2021 Planning Commission 1 –2 CUP No. 2021-13 - New Major Wireless Communications Facility (2112 E. 4th St.) December 13, 2021 Page 3 2 2 4 1 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 July 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2356, which established regulations for wireless communication facilities throughout the City. Major wireless communication facilities such as the proposed facility are required to have a stealth design and be located in an area that provides the greatest amount of visual screening. Further, these major facilities require the approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission. In analyzing the CUP request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants staff’s recommendation of approval for the CUP. The proposed wireless communication facility’s equipment and mono-pine are located at the rear of the subject property and away from sensitive land uses. The nearest residential community is 160 feet from the wireless facility. The facility will provide coverage and call capacity to an area surrounded by commercial and office uses. The applicant has provided propagation maps (Exhibit 7) that show a gap in coverage in the area, with this proposed facility reducing this coverage gap. This location is optimal to provide the coverage necessary for existing and expanding service for the provider. The proposed facility will provide 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 proposed 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). In addition, the facility will be constructed to comply with the Importance Factor of 1.5 in the Building Code to be able to sustain an earthquake and be operational during such disaster. Finally, the use will comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The facility will meet all height, location/zoning, and stealthing standards. The facility is not anticipated to 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. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 8. The subject property is not located within the 12/13/2021 Planning Commission 1 –3 CUP No. 2021-13 - New Major Wireless Communications Facility (2112 E. 4th St.) December 13, 2021 Page 4 2 2 4 1 boundaries of an established Neighborhood Association. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 11 - Accessory Structures). This exemption consists construction, or replacement of minor structures accessory to an existing commercial site. The project consists of construction of wireless communications facility accessory to an existing commercial site. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2020-85 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

Copy of Public Notices Submitted By: Heidi Jacinto, Assistant Planner I Approved By: Sarah Bernal, Planning Commission Secretary, Planning and Building Agency 12/13/2021 Planning Commission 1 –4 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 1 of 7 RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2021-13 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A NEW 60-FOOT TALL MAJOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY LOCATED AT 2112 EAST FOURTH STREET BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Crystal Rodrigues-Maramba with Coastal Business Group Inc., representing AT&T (“Applicant”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-13 to allow a 60-foot high major wireless (“mono- pine”) communications facility at 2112 East Fourth Street. B. On December 13, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-13. C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-198.10, a Conditional Use Permit is required for major wireless communications 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. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-13 to allow a new 60-foot tall major wireless communication facility: 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 project will provide a service or facility, which will contribute, to the community. The proposed mono-pine will provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses, and motorists who subscribe to AT&T Wireless services by reducing the gaps in cellular service and providing additional 12/13/2021 Planning Commission 1 –5 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 2 of 7 calling capacity for its users in the central sector of Santa Ana. 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 proposed wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the proposed facility will comply with Federal law that govern health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Moreover, the nearest residential use is located 160 linear feet from the site, further reducing any potential for impacts. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed mono-pine will be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The stealth appearance and site enhancements will maintain and increase the economic stability for this industrial corridor by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. Further, the stealth appearance and the chosen location for the facility will help blend in with existing mature trees found on the property. 4. That the proposed use shall comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use will comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The proposed facility will be disguised as a pine tree, feature new and enhanced landscaping, will provide an equipment enclosure with landscaping, and will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The proposed mono-pine 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. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address community needs, which includes means of communication that will be served by the proposed mono-pine. In addition, Goals 3 and 12/13/2021 Planning Commission 1 –6 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 3 of 7 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments’ impacts. The proposed mono-pine is designed to minimize visual impact on the area by implementing stealth design and using the prime location of the facility in relation to the existing mature trees on that side of the property to screen the facility. Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for services. Enhancing a cell phone provider’s coverage in the area enhances services that are readily available for business owners, workers, and residents in the immediate vicinity. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is categorically exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15311 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 11 – Accessory Structures). This exemption applies to construction of minor structures accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities. The project consists of the installation of a new wireless communications facility accessory to the existing commercial site. Based on the analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2020-85, 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.
