DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Black and Veatch Corporation, representing Sprint PCS,
approval of a conditional use permit to construct a
monopalm cellular antenna at 601% South Santa Fe Street.
is requesting
58-foot tall
Property Description
The property is located within the Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning district
and has a General Plan land use designation of Industrial (IND) (Exhibit
1) . The property is bounded by industrial uses to the north, south and
west and industrial uses and the Los Angeles-San Diego Scenic Corridor
(LOSSAN), also referred to as the Amtrak-Metrolink Rail Line, to the east
(Exhibi t 2). The subj ect property is approximately 0.39 acres in size,
rectangular in shape and improved with an industrial building.
Project Description
Sprint PCS proposes to lease 363 square feet at the rear of the building
to construct a wireless facility and equipment room. The cellular antenna
will be 58 feet tall and will be aligned in three sectors containing two
antennas each. The antennas will be steal thed to resemble a Date Palm

with a pod below the crown of the leaves that will allow for future
colocation (Exhibit 3). The monopalm will be located in the parking lot
behind the existing industrial building. The monopalm is adjacent to the
LOSSAN Scenic Corridor and will be mitigated by the planting of two 35-
foot brown trunk Date Palms and 20 five-gallon size Bougainvillea vines, a
hedge of Chinese Nandina, and Star Jasmine groundcover to buffer the
facility from the rail passenger corridor (Exhibit 4).
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 monopalm, camouflaged to resemble a
live date palm, will be located behind the existing industrial building.
Further, new landscaping will be added along the east property line to
screen the facility from the LOSSAN Scenic Corridor. The proposed
monopalm is designed to allow for future colocation by another provider.
The applicant has explored alternatives to the monopalm 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 58-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
monopalm 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 monopalm. The power source connection will be 150 feet
of conduit mounted under the existing beams of the industrial building's
roof (Exhibit 5). The proposed monopalm complies with the City's Wireless
Communications Facility Ordinance and will provide needed service to the
central and eastern area of the City.
Based upon the above analysis and findings, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-34 as
conditioned (Exhibits 6 and 7) .

The proposed 58-foot tall cellular monopole will provide a

capacity for its users, especially for those users traveling
within the central and eastern areas of Santa Ana.
B. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case
be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the vicinity?
Federal law exempts local jurisdictions from regulating health
related issues as these issues are covered under Federal laws.
However, the proposed facility will be in compliance with both
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) safety regulations.
C. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed monopalm, in conjunction with the proposed
landscaping along the east property line, 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 Date Palm with a
pod at the base of its crown. The stealth appearance will be
the major solution to maintaining and increasing the economic
stability for this industrial area.
D. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
The cellular facility has been designed to comply with the
regulations and conditions identified in Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code for a major wireless facility.

Conditions for Approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-34
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-34 is approved subject to compliance, to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Planning Manager, with all applicable sections of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code, the California Administrative Code, the Uniform Fire Code, the Uniform
Building Code and all other applicable regulations.
The applicant must comply in full with each and every condition listed below prior to
exercising the rights conferred by this conditional use permit.
The applicant must remain in compliance with all conditions listed below throughout the
life of the conditional use permit. Failure to comply with each and every condition may
result in the revocation of the conditional use permit.
A. Plannina Division
1. The applicant must comply with all conditions and requirements of the
Development Review Committee for the development project (DP No. 04-
53).
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 monopalm shall be a date palm designed by Chameleon
Engineering or equal specification. Two, live 35-foot brown trunk height
Date Palms (Phoenix dactylifera), as well as Bougainvillea vines, Nandina
shrubs and Star Jasmine groundcover are to be planted to create a
contextual setting for the monopalm. The trunk of the monopalm shall be
circular.
4. The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular
facility located at 601~ South Santa Fe Street 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 Countywide Coordinated Communications System (CCCS).

Similar consideration shall be given to any other existing or proposed wireless
communications facility that may be located on the subject property.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 the City's designated
representative upon activation of the facility.
9. 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.
11. The proposed wireless communication structure must be engineered to
allow the collocation of other service providers.
12. Locate all equipment and related appurtenances (appleton plug and
electric meter) on the inside of the equipment enclosure or inside the
building.
13. Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-34 expires five years from the date of
City Council approval.
