Item 3.7 - CUP 18-012; Request to modify an existing telecommunications antenna facility at 12544 Kirkham CourtDATE: TO: FROM: CONTACT: SUBJECT: Summary: City of Poway COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT July 16, 2019 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Robert Manis, Director of Development Services (!,Al\ Oda Audish , Associate Planner 858-668-4661 or oaudish@poway .org APPROVED □ APPROVED AS AMENDED □ (SEE MINUTES) DENIED □ REMOVED □ CONTINUED ____ _ RESOLUTION NO. Conditional Use Permit 18-012; a request to modify an existing telecommunications antenna facility at 12544 Kirkham Court Conditional Use Permit 18-012 (CUP 18-012) is a request to modify an existing Verizon telecommunications antenna facility at 12544 Kirkham Court, within the Light Industrial (LI) Land Use Designation area of the South Poway Specific Plan (SPSP). The modifications would result in antennas where some would exceed six feet in height above the roofline and others would not be screened, both of which require approval of a CUP. The project has been designed to comply with the City's development standards. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve CUP 18-012 , subject to the conditions in the attached Resolution (Attachment A). Discussion: The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to modify the existing Verizon telecommunications antenna facility on the project site in order to provide its customers enhanced services. The proposed facility proposes enhanced screening through extended parapets on the south end and stealth wrapping of antennas proposed on the north end of the existing building . Background The applicant is Technology Associates EC Inc., on behalf of Verizon Wireless and the property owners are Harsch Investment Properties . The project site is an existing industrial building loc ated at 12544 Kirkham Court, within the LI Land Use Designation area of the SPSP area (Attachment 8). The project site is part of an industrial complex located on the northern perimeter of the South Poway Business Park. The project site is bordered by other industrial development to the east, south and west. A large City-owned open space lot is located to the north, which has a trail within 75 feet of the project site . The adjoining open space slopes downward from the project site approximately 250 feet in elevation towards the nearest residential neighborhood along Metate Lane, which is located more than 1,100 feet away from the project site. The project site currently contains antenna facilit ies for three wireless telecommunications carriers that were install ed following staff approvals of various Minor Development Review Applications (MORA) in the 1990s and early 2000s. The MDRAs were approved prior to the City adopting the 1 of 16 July 16, 2019, Item #3.7 City Wireless Communications Policy in September of 2004, which provides specific guidelines for the design of wireless facilities and the application process. Verizon currently has two antenna sectors on the building with a total of 14 antennas, which were approved under MORA 96-05. One of the sectors is mounted near the center of the building and contains 10 antennas. These antennas are less than six feet in height when measured from the roofline. Due to the low profile of those antennas and their location on the roof, the existing building parapet screens the view of the antennas from the surrounding properties. The other antenna sector contains four antennas that are mounted to the northwesterly oriented building wall. These antennas are painted to match the color of the wall to which they are attached. Attachments C and D provide a roof plan and building elevations indicating existing and proposed antennas. According to the SPSP, City Council approval of a CUP is required for proposed roof-mounted antennas that would exceed six feet in height or would not be screened. The findings for a CUP are specified in Poway Municipal Code (PMC) Section 17.48.070. On October 20, 2015, the City Council approved CUP 15-007 to modify the existing Verizon facility. CUP 15-007 allowed a nine-foot high antenna sector along the north side of the building behind a parapet screen. The CUP also allowed a six-foot high antenna sector along the south side of the building without a screen. The City Council found that the slim profile and white color of the antennas would be less visible to the surrounding community to the north than if the existing parapet had been extended to screen the antennas. The CUP approval expired two years later since no building permits were issued for the facility and no construction associated with the CUP occurred. The proposed modifications are similar to those approved in 2015 and consist of the following: • Splitting the existing roof-mounted 10 antenna sector, currently located towards the center of the building, into two sectors with five antennas each. The antennas on the south sector facing the parking lot of the industrial office complex would be mounted on a frame and measure approximately nine feet above the roof. This antenna sector would be screened by a new five-foot high parapet wrapping around the antenna sector and above the existing four-foot high parapet that spans the length of the building for full screening. The proposed sector on the north side of the building facing the open space area and residential neighborhood would have individually mounted antennas that measure about six feet in height. This sector is not proposed to be screened by a parapet as discussed previously. It should be noted that the antenna sector facing north would include stealth wrapping to blend in with the natural environment and will be set back five feet from the edge of the building, thereby reducing the visual effect of the antennas. • Replacing two antennas in each of the new roof-mounted sectors and the existing wall- mounted sector that will provide wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. • Adding four new remote radio units (RRUs) at each of the three sectors to improve the quality of wireless high-speed internet. • Adding two new ground-mounted cabinets within an existing equipment enclosure and adding three junction boxes. • Adding three roof-mounted junction boxes which will extend approximately two feet above the existing parapet. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area The applicant has submitted various photo simulations of the building to illustrate the existing and proposed antenna modifications as seen from the project site and from the surrounding area 2 of 16 July 16, 2019, Item #3.7 (Attachments E, F and G). The photo simulations demon strate that the screening is appropriate to hide the antennas from view. The wall-mounted antennas will be painted to match the adjacent wall. The antennas on the north side would be visible from the surrounding community but would draw minimal attention because of the slim profile design and stealth wrapping . The stealth wrapping is 3M Conceal Film , which is a mirror-like surface that is designed to adapt to and visually reflect the changing weather conditions without causing an issue with glare (Attachment H). The proposed project is in compliance with the City Wireless Communications Policy in that the proposed project has been designed to visually blend in with the surroundings and therefore would be minimally noticeable to the surrounding development. Radio Frequency (RF) Report A Radio Frequency (RF) Report has been prepared , and is included with the application, that demonstrates the proposed facility will operate in compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards . Environmental Review: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as Class 3 Categorical Exemption, Section 15303(d) (a) of the CEQA Guidelines , as the project involves an installation and replacement of small equipment to an existing telecommunications facility, which will provide a utility extension to serve the surrounding areas. Fiscal Impact: None. Public Notification: A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Poway News Chieftain on July 4 , 2019, and mailed to property owners and occupants located within 500 feet of the project site.
