DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Sequoia Deployment Services, representing T-Mobile Wireless, is
requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20 to allow the
construction of a wireless facility designed as a broadleaf monotree at
2907 South Croddy Way.
Property Description
The property is located within the Light Industrial (M-l) zoning district
and has a General Plan land use designation of Industrial (IND)
(Exhibit 1). The property is bounded by an extended stay business hotel
on the east and industrial uses to the north, south and west (Exhibit 2).
The subj ect property is approximately 1.7 acres in size, rectangular in
shape and improved with a multi-tenant warehouse (Exhibit 3).
Project Description
T-Mobile is proposing to install a 60-foot tall wireless
telecommunications facility designed as a broadleaf monotree at 2907 South
Croddy Way (Exhibit 4). The facility will house 12 panel antennas (four
sectors of three antennas). T-Mobile will lease approximately 700 square
feet for an equipment area that will be screened by a new six-foot high

wrought iron fence covered with Gold Guinea Vines to discourage graffiti.
Two 48 - inch box size Brisbane Box trees (Lophostemon confertus) will be
planted adj acent to the broadleaf monotree to create an aesthetically
pleasing environment (Exhibit 5) .
Analysis of the Issues
In July 1998, the City Council adopted an ordinance regulating 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 and requires
the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed wireless facility
is located behind an industrial warehouse building in an existing parking
lot and will be camouflaged as a broadleaf tree. The telecommunication
equipment is screened behind a six-foot high wrought iron fence that will
be covered with Gold Guinea Vines (Hibbertia scandens) Additionally, two
evergreen broadleaf Brisbane Box trees will be planted near the
camouflaged wireless facility.
The applicant has explored alternatives to the broadleaf monotree 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 for T-Mobile and adjacent property owners are not willing
to allow a cellular facility on their site. The 60-foot tall facility is
needed in order to improve cellular coverage and increase call capacity
and quality because it is located in an area with limited access for this
wireless carrier. The proposed cellular antenna will provide a benefit to
Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to T-Mobile
Wireless by closing service gaps in the area and providing additional
calling capacity. Equipment for the broadleaf monotree will be screened
by a new six-foot high wrought iron fence covered with Gold Guinea Vines.
All wiring and conduit will be underground or hidden in the interior of
the proposed broadleaf monotree. The proposed wireless facility complies
with the City's Wireless Communications Facility Ordinance and will
provide needed service to the southwest section of the City. The proposed
upgrades and screening are required to accommodate the T-Mobile Wireless
facility antennas from public view.
Based upon the above

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-38
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2007-20 TO ALLOW THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A WIRELESS FACILITY DESIGNED
AS A BROAD LEAF MONOTREE AT 2907 SOUTH
CRODDYWAY
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. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20 came before the Planning
Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on
October 22,2007.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20 has been filed with the City of Santa
Ana seeking to allow the construction of a wireless facility designed as a
broadleaf monotree at 2907 South Croddy Way.
C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-198.10, a Conditional
Use Permit is required for major wireless facilities.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning
Commission to grant a conditional use permit upon making certain
findings.
1. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or
community?
The proposed 60-foot tall broad leaf monotree wireless
facility will provide a service to Santa Ana residents,
businesses and motorists who subscribe to T-Mobile
Wireless by reducing gaps in digital cellular service and
providing additional calling capacity for its users, especially
for those users traveling within the southwest sector of Santa
Ana.
2. 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?
31A-10
Resolution No. 2007-38
Page 1 of 8
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.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed broad leaf monotree wireless facility, in
conjunction with the existing landscaping, will be compatible
with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the
economic viability of the area. The stealth appearance will
be the major solution to maintaining and increasing the
economic stability for this predominantly residential area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
The existing 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.
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed monotree 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 Industrial (IND) General
Plan designation.
E. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt
from further review pursuant to Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption
allows in-fill developments for the construction and location of limited
numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Categorical Exemption
Environmental Review No. 2007-48 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission atter conducting the public hearing hereby
approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20 as conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at
the above said hearing, which includes but is not limited to: the Request for Planning
Commission Action dated October 22.2007 and exhibits attached thereto; and the
public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

Conditions for Approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20
Conditional Use Permit No. 2007-20 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.
2007-23).
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 wireless facility designed as a broad leaf monotree shall be
constructed per the approved plans and the existing landscaping shall be
protected in place during the construction period on and around the
proposed facility.
4. The design specifications for a mono-broad leaf are as follows and should
be added as a note to the working drawings:
a. The mono-broad leaf structure should be designed for a minimum of
two carriers.
b. The mono-broad leaf structure should have a sufficient branch count to
conceal the presence of all antennas.
c. Branch disbursement should be random so that longer branches and
shorter branches are intermingled to give a natural appearance.
d. Branches should exceed all antennas by a minimum of 12 inches.
e. Branches should start at 15 feet above the ground.
Exhibit A
31A-13
Resolution No. 2007-38
Page 4 of 8
f. There should be a minimum space of five feet between the top of the
antenna and the top of the faux tree.
g. Branch foliage color should be an olive green with varying color
"leaves" to match an actual broad leaf type tree. The foliage should be
extruded in the color instead of surface painted. A sample should be
submitted for approval prior to fabrication.
h. A sample of bark cladding with a custom color should be submitted for
approval prior to fabrication.
i. All antennas shall be covered with "leafed antenna socks" that match
the approved foliage color. Antennas are to be mounted using "stand-
off mounts" (horizontal, frame type mounts are unacceptable). Support
pipe mounts shall be concealed behind the antennas and painted a
darker shade of green (or black) with a "flat" paint finish to reduce
reflection and visibility of the mounting.
j. All coaxial cables should be concealed within the tower and should
access the structure through the base. Raised ice bridge or cable
trays are unacceptable.
k. Include the tree specifications (selected manufacturers and models)
with photo simulations (also a site plan review requirement).
I. Show the location of the GPS antenna on all elevations.
m. Provide a "unistrut" detail for the utility cabinet; an "H-frame" is not
acceptable.
n. Provide a note on the construction drawings that reads, "primary
telecommunications carrier shall install underground utility sleeving for
two carriers during construction of the tower structure." All coaxial
cable and electrical conduit should be designed to be underground.
An "ice bridge" is not acceptable.
o. All exterior conduit and electrical meters shall be installed and
screened in one metal enclosure painted to match the structure. The
sleeving should go underground through the caisson; shrouds on the
outside of the pole are not acceptable. All utilities must be
underground.
5. The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular
facility located at 2907 South Croddy Way are extremely close to the
frequencies used by the City of Santa Ana for Public Safety. This
proximity will require extraordinary "comprehensive advanced planning
Resolution No. 2007-38

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
