PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On December 8, 2014, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution approving modifications to
Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -09 as conditioned by a vote of 6:0:1 (Alderete abstained) to
allow a 47 -foot high wireless facility screened as a monopole for Sprint PCs at 1241 South Grand
Avenue located in the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district. The Planning Commission modified
Condition No. 10 to require submittal of a landscape plan prior to issuance of a building permit
that was in compliance with the City's industrial standards (Exhibit A).
DISCUSSION
Sprint PCs is proposing to modify an existing, unstealthed monopole by upgrading existing
antenna and related ancillary equipment. The project will add new service antenna panels to the
monopole and enhance ancillary equipment within the existing enclosure, while removing existing
service antenna panels. No changes to the monopole structure are proposed as part of this
project, and the facility will maintain the existing maximum height of 47 feet. The monopole and
enclosure are proposed to remain in their current location, near the center of the overall site, near
existing high - voltage transmission lines that assist with the stealthing of the facility. Full sized
site plans are available for public viewing in the Clerk of the Council Office,
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development,
Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business /job growth and encourage private
development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies), as well as Objective No.

Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -09 as conditioned.
Request of Applicant
Crown Castle, representing Sprint PCS, is requesting approval of a 47 -foot high wireless facility
( "monopole ") at 1241 South Grand Avenue. Major wireless communication facilities require
approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) pursuant to Section 41- 198.3(b) of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code (SAMC).
Project Location and Site Description
The project is located on a 7.87 -acre parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue
and McFadden Avenue, north of Century High School. The site is currently improved with a
Southern California Edison substation where yard management, transportation services, equipment
storage, and vehicle dueling occurs. Structures on the site include high - voltage transformers, power
poles, high - tension lines, ground equipment storage structures, and deployment offices. Land uses
surrounding the site include industrial uses to the north, east and west, and Century High School to
the south (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
Project Description
Sprint PCS is proposing to modify an existing, unstealthed monopole by upgrading existing antenna
and related ancillary equipment. The project will add new service antenna panels to the monopole and
enhance ancillary equipment within the existing enclosure, while removing existing service antenna
panels. This facility is intended to provide increased cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of
the City. No changes to the monopole structure are proposed as part of this project, and the facility will
maintain the existing maximum height of 47 feet. Existing and new equipment for the wireless facility
EXHIBIT A
31 B -3
CUP No. 2014 -09
December 8, 2014
Page 2
will be installed within a chain -link enclosure that, when combined with the existing lease area,
measures approximately 20 -feet by 25 -feet for a total of 500 square feet. The monopole and enclosure
are proposed to remain in their current location, in the center of the northerly portion of the overall site,
near existing high - voltage transmission lines (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6).
In addition to the service antenna panel and equipment upgrades, the applicant also proposes to
replace any dead and missing landscaping along Grand and McFadden Avenues. These planters are
currently developed with mature trees and shrubs but contain bare patches of soil that will be planted
with ground cover or other shrubs where needed.
Protect Backaround
In September 1999, Sprint PCS submitted plans to install the current wireless facility at the Southern
California Edison substation. At the time, the project required a conditional use permit and a
variance. In May 2000, Conditional Use Permit No. 00 -07 and Variance No. 00 -05 were approved
for the project. The CUP permitted the construction of the current monopole, whose unstealthed
design was approved in order to help the facility blend in with the nearby high - voltage transmission
lines. Moreover, the current design was deemed appropriate due to the monopole's location over
200 feet away from the nearest property line, behind an existing block wall and landscaping that
provide screening. f=urther, the variance permitted the construction of the facility without the
required landscaping around the base of the equipment enclosure due to the requirements of
Southern California Edison that prohibit potentially flammable materials, such as landscaping, on
substation sites. In exchange, Sprint PCS enhanced existing landscaped areas along the site's
perimeter along the Grand and McFadden Avenue frontages of the project site. Although the
variance remains active, Southern California Edison has reaffirmed that for the current application,
on -site landscaping and stealthing of the facility with fake tree branches would pose hazards to the
day -to -day operations on the substation site, The screening provided by the existing transmission
lines, block walls, and landscaping along the site's street frontages are designed to comply with the
City's standards.
In October 2013, Sprint PCS, represented by Core Development Services, proposed modifying the
existing monopole to remove several obsolete antennas and replace them with antennas that reflect
the current technology, as well as adding backup battery storage within the existing equipment
enclosure. Staff review of the proposal showed that the current CUP (No. 00 -07) had expired. SAME
Section 41- 198.13 states that major wireless communication facilities shall be approved for a period not
to exceed five years, although subsequent State legislative acts have required that such facilities be
approved for a period not to exceed 10 years. As the current facility is 14 years old, the applicant was
required to apply for a new CUP in order to proceed with the proposed modifications and upgrades as
required by the SAMC. Core subsequently submitted application materials to request approval of a
new conditional use permit, after which Sprint PCS voluntarily placed the application on hold. In
October 2014, Sprint PCS, represented by Crown Castle, reapplied with the current application.

General Plan and Zonina Consistenc
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.
Proiect 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 Sprint PCS 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.
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 review of the project, staff worked with the applicant to identify landscape
improvements along the project site's street frontages to be required in tandem with the monopole and
equipment enclosure. These improvements reflect the requirement to screen the facility from view, to
provide enhanced landscaping through the planting of ground cover or shrubs, to deter graffiti through
the planting and maintenance of landscaping 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.
• The project will continue to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the community. The
monopole currently provides a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who
subscribe to Sprint PCS's services by maintaining cellular service and data coverage for its users in
the southeast sector of Santa Ana. The issuance of a new conditional use permit will allow the
current facility to continue providing a service to the surrounding community.
The issuance of a new conditional use permit for the existing wireless facility at this location will not
be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the proposed facility will remain 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).
The monopole, in conjunction with the enhanced landscaping along the project's street frontages,
will be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in
the area. The stealthing provided by the monopole's location within the substation 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 continue to 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
facility will be stealthed by the existing high - voltage transmission lines, and the site will feature new
and enhanced landscaping, providing additional screening for the current use's operations, and will
comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC.

The 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 monopole "s location minimizes visual impact on the
area and assists with the stealthing of the equipment. 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 adds to the services that are readily available for business owners, workers, and
residents in the immediate vicinity.
A monopole disguised by existing transmission lines on the project site, located over 200 feet away
from the nearest street frontage, and behind a block wall and landscape buffer, provides the best
stealth possible for this location. This configuration and design also minimizes fire hazards and other
Impediments to operations on the substation site. The facility is located within an industrial district
and will remain near the center of the site, away from other industrial buildings. Moreover, the
landscape enhancements along Grand and McFadden Avenues will easily blend into the existing
landscape materials found on both the project site and along the major corridors that cross near the
project site. Finally, 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 Sprint PCS by maintaining cellular service and data coverage in the area.
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 not located within the boundaries of an established Neighborhood Association.
However, staff contacted the president of the adjacent Lyon Street Neighborhood Association to
ensure that she was 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.
