DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Delta Engineering Groups, representing Sprint PCS, is requesting
approval of a conditional use permit to construct a 50-foot tall
monopine cellular antenna at Monte Vista School, located at 2116% West
Monta Vista Avenue.
Property Description
The property is located within the Open Space (0) zoning district and has
a General Plan land use designation of Institutional (INS) (Exhibit 1).
The property is bounded by residential uses to the north and east, and by
open space (Jerome Park) to the south and west (Exhibit 2). The subject
property is approximately 9.10 acres in size, square in shape and improved
with an elementary school.
Project Description
Sprint PCS proposes to lease 375 square feet of open space to construct a
wireless facility and equipment room. The cellular antenna will be 50
feet tall and will be aligned in three sectors containing two antennas
each. The antennas will be stealthed to resemble a Canary Island Pine
Tree. The monopine will be located south and west of existing school
buildings and to the northwest of existing athletic fields at Jerome Park.
EXHIBIT A
31 C-2
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-29
December 13, 2004
Page 2
The monopine will be located near an existing group of 20-foot tall
evergreen canopy California Pepper and Brisbane Box trees. Two 24-inch
box Canary Island pines (Pinus canariensis) will be planted in the same
vicinity as the stealth monopine. Santa Ana Unified School District
personnel will determine the exact location of the two Canary Island
Pines. The materials used for construction of the equipment room will
match the existing concession stand building located nearby in Jerome Park
(Exhibits 3, 4 and 5) .
Analysis of the Issues
In July 1988, the Planning Commission and City Council adopted an
ordinance that regulates Wireless Communication facilities throughout the
City. Major wireless facilities are required to have a stealth design and
be located on a building or in an area that provides the greatest amount
of visual screening. These antennas also require the approval of a
conditional use permit. The proposed monopine will be located behind the
school building complex, which is located on Monta Vista Avenue. The
monopine will be near the concession stand and athletic fields in Jerome
Park. The new telecommunications equipment building will be designed to
match the concession stand. The proposed monopine is designed to allow
for future collocation by another provider.
The applicant has explored alternatives to the monopine structure, such as
locating the cellular antenna on the roof of an existing building in the
area. Structures in the area, however, are not tall enough to meet the
coverage needs of Sprint PCS. A 50-foot tall facility is needed in order
to improve cellular coverage and increase call capacity and quality. The
proposed antenna will provide a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses
and motorists who subscribe to Sprint PCS by closing service gaps in the
area and providing additional calling capacity. Equipment for the
monopine will be located inside an equipment room within the leased area.
All wiring and conduit will be underground or hidden in the interior of
the trunk of the monopine. The proposed monopine complies with the City's
Wireless Communications Facility Ordinance and will provide needed service
to the central area of the City.
Based upon the above analysis and findings, staff recommends that
Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-29
conditioned (Exhibits 6 and 7) .

the area?
The proposed monopine, in conjunction with the existing grove
of canopy trees and two additional 24-inch box Canary Island
Pine trees to be planted, will be compatible with the
surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic
viability in the area as the monopole has a stealth design that
will maintain the appearance of a Canary Island Pine Tree. The
stealth appearance will be the major solution to maintaining
and increasing the economic stability for this open space area.

The applicant must comply in full with each and every condition listed below Drior to
exercising the rights conferred by this conditional use permit.

The applicant must comply with all conditions and requirements of the
Development Review Committee for the development project (DP No. 04-
016).
2.
Any amendment to this conditional use permit must be submitted to the
Planning Division for review. At that time, staff will determine if
administrative relief is available or the conditional use permit must be
amended.
3.
The proposed monopine shall be a Chameleon PBL or equal specification.
Two live 24-inch box Canary Island Pine (Pinus canariensis) Trees,
approximately 12 to 15 feet tall, are to be planted to create a contextual
setting for the monopine. The trunk of the monopine shall be circular.
4.
The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular
facility located at 2116% West Monta Vista Avenue are extremely close to
the frequencies used by the City of Santa Ana for Public Safety. This
proximity will require extraordinary "comprehensive advanced planning
and frequency coordination" engineering measures to prevent
interference, especially in the choice of frequencies and radio ancillary
hardware. This is encouraged in the "Best Practices Guide" published by
the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International,
Incorporated (APCO), and as endorsed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Prior to the issuance of any permits to install the
facility, (Permit Applicant) shall meet in good faith to coordinate the use of
frequencies and equipment with the Communications Division of the
Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department to minimize, to the greatest
extent possible, any interference with the Public Safety 800 MHz

consideration shall be given to any other existing or proposed wireless
communications facility that may be located on the subject property.
At all times, the permit applicant shall not prevent the City of Santa Ana
from having adequate spectrum capacity on the City's 800 MHz radio
frequency.
Before activating its facility, the permit applicant will submit to a post-
installation test to confirm that "advanced planning and frequency
coordination" of the facility was successful in not interfering with the City of
Santa Ana Public Safety radio equipment. This test will be conducted by
the Communications Division of the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner
Department or a Division-approved contractor at the expense of the
Applicant. This post-installation testing process shall be repeated for
every proposed frequency addition and/or change to confirm the intent of
the "frequency planning" process has been met.
The permit applicant shall provide a 24-hour phone number to which
interference problems may be reported. This condition will also apply to
all existing facilities in the City of Santa Ana.
The permit applicant will provide a "single point of contact" in its
Engineering and Maintenance Departments to insure continuity on all
interference issues. The name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail
address of that person shall be provided to City's designated
representative upon activation of the facility.
The permit applicant shall insure that lessee or other user(s) shall comply
with the terms and conditions of this permit, and shall be responsible for
the failure of any lessee or other users under the control of permit
applicant to comply.
10.
The permit applicant shall provide a coverage and cell site location map
for each existing and proposed facility in Santa Ana.
