RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -07 as conditioned.
Reguest of Applicant
Core Development Services, representing Verizon Wireless, is requesting approval of a 58 -foot
high wireless facility disguised as a pine tree at 711 South Grand Avenue. Major wireless
communication facilities require approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 41 -198.3
(b) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).
Project Location and Site Description
The project is proposed to be constructed on a 1.70 -acre (74,052 square foot) triangular parcel of
land located on Grand Avenue directly east of the intersection of Hunter Avenue, adjacent to the
LOSSAN Corridor railroad tracks. The site is currently improved with a 17,500 square foot
industrial building that is occupied by Parkhouse Tire, Inc. Land uses surrounding the site Include
multiple- family residences to the north and east, and industrial uses to the south and west
(Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
Project Description
Verizon is proposing to construct a 58 -foot high wireless facility disguised as a pine tree. This facility
is intended to provide increased cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. To give
the facility the appearance of a natural tree, the tower has been designed to have branches that will
extend seven feet above the antennas to a maximum height of 58 feet. Equipment for the wireless
facility will be installed within an enclosure that measures approximately 20 -feet by 46 -feet for a total
of 920 square feet. This enclosure will be located at the rear (east) of the existing building, while the
monopole itself will be freestanding within equipment enclosure. Two 36 -inch box Afghan pine trees
will be installed to the sides (northwest and southeast) of the facility to assist with the stealthing of the
monopole, with vines planted along the block walls of the equipment enclosure (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6).
EXHIBIT A
31A-3
CUP No. 2014 -07
April 28, 2014
Page 2
The proposed wireless facility will contain three arrays with four panel antennas on each side, for a
total of 12 panel antennas. A GPS and parabolic antenna will also be located on the monopole.
In addition to the monopole and equipment enclosure, the applicant also proposes to construct a new
eight -foot tall block wall to run parallel with the existing wrought -iron fence along the 'LOSSAN
Corridor railroad tracks. The new wall will run 200 feet from the proposed equipment enclosure in a
southeasterly direction towards the southeast corner of the property. The wall is intended to provide
additional screening for outdoor materials that are currently stored in the rear -yard area as part of
Parkhouse Tire's operations, blocking the view of materials from nearby residential uses and from
Grand Avenue, The applicant does not anticipate removal of existing plant materials along the
wrought -iron fence as part of the block wall's construction and has committed to replacing any
missing landscaping along the LOSSAN Corridor tracks and in planters along Grand Avenue.
Project Background
In May 2013, Core Development Services submitted plans to install a new wireless facility at this
location. After a review of the proposal, staff recommended relocating the monopole and
equipment area to the rear (east) of the property to assist with the stealthing of the facility and to
assist with screening outdoor materials stored on the property as part of Parkhouse Tire's
operations. The screening and the proposed landscape improvements are designed to comply
with the City's standards.
The site is owned and occupied by Parkhouse Tire, a warehousing operation that has been at this
location since 1992. Parkhouse Tire will be leasing a 920 square foot area at the east section of
the site to Venzon for the installation of the equipment enclosure and monopole within.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND), which allows for manufacturing
and industrial uses. Uses such as wireless facilities are consistent with this General Plan land use
designation.
The zoning for the site is Light Industrial (M -1). The Light industrial zoning district is a zone that
also allows for manufacturing, industrial and warehouse uses. The proposed use is also
consistent with the zoning designation.
Protect Analysis
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 Verizon 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 conditional use permit. Also, Section 41 -198.4 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
identifies several site improvements that may be required at sites with major wireless facilities.
31A-4
CUP No. 2014 -07
April 28, 2014
Page 3
These improvements include:
1. Landscaping around the base of the facility, including vines, groundcover and a 24 -inch box tree;
2. Decorative fencing (wrought iron or block) around the facility;
3. A six -foot high solid wall between the facility and property zoned or used for residential;
4. One parking space, if on -site parking is not available;
5. Repairing, repaving and restriping of a parking lot which is in poor condition;
6. The repainting of buildings on a site; and
7. The construction of a new trash enclosure.
As part of the development project review portion of the project, staff worked with the applicant to
Identify improvements to be required in tandem with the proposed monopole and equipment
enclosure. These improvements reflect the requirement to screen the facility from view, to provide
enhanced landscaping through the planting of new trees and vines, to deter graffiti through the
planting and maintenance of landscaping materials, to provide screening for outdoor storage of
materials, and to minimize the project's overall impacts on the surrounding community.
Conditional Use Permits are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permits may
be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established:
• That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well
being of the neighborhood or community.
• That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.
• That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic
development of properties surrounding the area.
• That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for
such use.
• That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan
applicable to the area of the proposed use.
If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely,
the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared
the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report.
In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact
warrant approval of the conditional use permit.

Section 41-198.5(b) of the SAMC establishes site selection order of preference criteria for wireless
facilities. These provisions require the exploration of various options before proposing a new
monopole, The applicant has explored alternatives to this monopole, including providing a roof
mounted facility on an existing building in the area and co- locating on another facility. The heights of
the buildings (predominantly one -story) in the immediate area do not provide the necessary height to
provide adequate service. Also; there are no wireless facilities close enough to provide the necessary
coverage and capacity that Verizon requires.
The project will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the community. The proposed
monopole will provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe
to Verizon's services by reducing the gaps in cellular service and providing additional calling
capacity for its users in the southeast sector of Santa Ana.
• The proposed wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working
In the area as the proposed facility will be in compliance 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).
The proposed monopole, in conjunction with the new live pine trees and site improvements, 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.
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 stealthed as a pine tree, will feature new and enhanced landscaping, will provide
additional screening for the current use's warehousing operations, and will comply with other
standards outlined in the SAMC,
The proposed monopole 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
monopole. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity
as well as mitigation of developments' impacts. The proposed monopole is designed to minimize
visual Impact on the area and to assist with the stealthing of industrial operations at the project
site, Father, 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.

A facility disguised as a pine tree would provide the best stealth possible for this location. The facility
is located within an industrial district and will be installed toward the east side of the site, away from
other Industrial buildings. Within the South Grand Avenue corridor, there is a mixture of tree species.
The pine tree design will easily blend into the area and will be designed to allow for future co- location
by another provider. Of the various tree designs, the pine tree is a design that can stealth the
equipment needed by additional wireless providers. All associated wiring and conduit for the facility
will be underground or hidden within the interior of the monopole.
This location is also optimal to provide the coverage necessary for existing and expanding service.
The proposed cellular antennas will provide a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses and
motorists who subscribe to Verizon by closing service gaps and providing enhanced cellular service in
the area. Equipment for the facility will be located within a new enclosure behind the building, with
vines planted on the block walls to assist in screening the wireless facility and the warehouse
operations on the site. The proposed wireless facility complies with the City's Wireless
Communications Facility Ordinance and will provide needed service to this area of the City. Further,
the project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan that safeguard residents
and workers in the area while encouraging land uses that accommodate the City's needs for services.
Public Notification
The project site is located within the boundaries of the Lyon Street Neighborhood Association.
Staff contacted the president of this Neighborhood Association to ensure that they were notified of
this project and to identify any areas of concern. The president did not Identify any concerns with
the project. The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was
published in the Orange County Reporter and notices were sent to all property owners and
occupants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either
written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public.
CEQA Compliance
This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental
Quality Act. The project 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; the installation of small new equipment and facilities in small
structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another.
The wireless facility is a new, small facility that has been found by the City's development review
agencies to not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. As a result,
categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2013 -39 will be filed for this project.
