The site contains limited mechanical apparatus used by DWA to monitor/measure underground wells. Verizon proposes to lease 900-square feet located in the northwest corner of the triangular parcel. New construction will include a 50-foot monopole; a 194-square foot equipment shelter; and an inner eight (8) foot tall block containment wall. No other telecommunication facility is present on the site; however the use of a monopole could allow co-location by other telecommunication carriers. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility will consist of a 194-square foot equipment shelter and a 50 foot tall monopole. Twelve (12) antenna panels that are six by one feet in size will be installed at the top of the structure. A four foot parabolic antenna will be mounted below the panel antennas. The monopole to be painted "Desert Tan" and equipment enclosure is proposed to be surrounded by an eight foot high block wall. The area between the DWA site perimeter wall and the street is currently landscaped and maintained by the Escena Community. The location of the proposed cell tower is within Zone "D" of the Airport influence area 3 City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 4 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive as shown on the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Map. This document is administered by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). In their letter dated, February 5, 2014, ALUC states: "Given the site's proximity to the runway (approximately 2,050 feet), the applicant filed Form 7460-1 with the Federal Aviation Administration Obstructive Evaluation Service and obtained a Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation, therefore ALUC finds the project Consistent with the 2005 Palm Springs International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan subject to conditions as listed" The compatibility letter lists eight conditions which have been included in the project's Conditions of Approval. The location of the proposed communication pole is 117 feet from the nearest residential property line along San Joaquin Drive. This street is the dividing line between Palm Springs and the City of Cathedral City. The PSZC development standards for the M-1-P zone require a minimum setback of 100 feet from the cell tower to a residential property. Planning Staff has prepared several maps showing the locations of existing cell towers color coded to each carrier. These maps are to help determine the appropriateness of a CUP application. The nearest cell towers to the proposed site are located at the corner of East Vista Chino Drive and North Gene Aurty Trail; and at the Palm Springs Police Station complex. From these maps, a gap in service can be seen in the area east of the Airport and south of Escena. ARCHITECTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The AAC reviewed the project on February 24, 2014 and recommend that the pole mimic a Date Palm tree with the largest maximum number of fronds possible. In addition, five Washingtonian Robusta Palm trees at least 25 feet tall to be planted within the DWA site to form a palm grove. The AAC did not comment on the tower's proposed height. Staffs Response The applicant has entered into an agreement with the Escena Golf Course operator; Verizon will pay for five (5) Washingtonian Robusta's to be planted on the Golf Course property maintained by Escena Golf Club. The location of the trees to be on the west side of the DWA site within an existing landscape area surrounded by other existing mature trees. The five new trees will be at least 25 feet tall. The diagram below shows the location of trees as they relate to proposed cell tower. City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 5 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive t u i r_ t vAq• Location of 5 new palm trees PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW The Planning Commission first reviewed this project on March 12, 2014 and voted to Table based upon the following items: • Broader discussion on evaluating cell tower heights. • Siting of tower adjacent to the Dream Homes neighborhood. • Expert opinion sought through a Planning Commission work session. • Planting of large trees to represent a palm grove. In response to the Planning Commission's concerns, Staff organized a Study Session on evaluating cell tower CUP application3 which took place on November 12, 2014. At this meeting, the Commission received testimony from Dennis Hurvitz, PE, of Desert Engineers providing a discussion of cell tower technology and coverage analysis (see attached minutes). Staff notes that direction from this work session is on-going and will continue into the New Year. The Planning Commission conducted a second public hearing on January 14, 2015 and reviewed a revised project. Staff worked with the applicant to re-evaluate several elements of the original project. Previously the tower was disguised as a Date Palm with a height of sixty (60) feet. The revised application has lowered the tower to fifty (50) feet in a monopole design. The elimination of the fake palm tree could allow co- location with other telecommunication carries thus reducing the overall number of towers in the City. 5 City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015 -- Page 6 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive In addition, an overall coverage map of all Verizon towers in the City has been submitted. From viewing this coverage map an underserved area is clearly visible in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. Staff also prepared several maps showing the location of all permitted cell towers within the City. Staff contacted the Planning Office in Cathedral City alerting them of the pending application in the hopes of reaching a neighborhood organization in the Dream Homes area. As of the writing of this report, formal contact has not been made, however the subject site has been posted for 11 months and public hearing notices have been sent to all property owners within 500 feet. At the Planning Commission hearing, testimony was received from the applicant; coverage maps for Verizon service area were reviewed; with a final vote of 5-1-1 taken to approve the CUP and Variance request and recommend approval to the City Council. ANALYSIS: Surrounding Existing General Plan Existing,Zoning Designation Existing Land Use Pro a Desi nations Subject Site Industrial M-1-P (Light Industrial) Desert Water Agency Well Site South Industrial M-1-P (Light Industrial) Palm Springs Unified School District Operation East Cathedral City Cathedral City/ Residential Single-Family Residential West Industrial M-1-P (Light Industrial Vacant North I Open S ace O en Space Escena Golf Course Plan Designations, Zones and Land Uses: The General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial. The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, staff has determined that the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses. The zoning designation is M-1-P (Planned Research and Development), and the use is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 93.08.00 and 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC). The table below displays the PSZC's development standards and the proposed project's development proposal: s City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 7 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive Zoning Zone Proposed Use Permitted?

Antenna Height: Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(A)(2)(c)(ii) of the PSZC, the height and placement limitations of communication antennas within Commercial and Professional Zones is required to comply with the provisions governing broadcast receiving antennas or Section 93.08.03(A)(1)(c)(B) of the PSZC; according to this Section, "if the antenna is not mounted on the building, no part of the antenna structure shall extend to a height of more than fifteen (15) feet above the ground level nor shall it be located within any required yard." The top of the monopole structure is proposed at fifty (50) feet above the existing ground level. The applicant has submitted a variance application to allow the antenna at its proposed height and provided a radio frequency map for all existing Verizon towers in the City. This map shows a gap in service in the general area of Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. Findings in support are found below. REQUIRED FINDINGS: Variance: State law requires four (4) findings be made for the granting of a variance. Staff has analyzed the findings in order below: 1) Because of the special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The subject site has parcels in the vicinity that contain buildings and landscaping which inhibit cellular frequency at a height of fifteen feet. The applicant has City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 8 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive provided a radio frequency map for all Verizon cell towers in the City which displays a gap in service in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. An additional map shows coverage after the 50 foot tower is in place greatly improving overall service to the immediate area and the greater network. 2) Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The subject property will be conditioned similar to other properties that have received height variances for antennas. These conditions include removal of the structure upon abandonment of the use, and compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. There are additional conditions that are proposed as recommended by the AAC to mitigate visual impacts. Therefore, the approval of this Variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations placed upon other providers in the vicinity and zoning designation. 3) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the same vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The monopole will be structurally engineered in accordance with all applicable codes for the proposed height and location. Therefore, the project is unlikely to be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area. 4) The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of the city. The proposed project has been analyzed against the policies of the General Plan and no inconsistencies have been found. Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(B) of the PSZC, in cases involving applications for height limit variances, no such variance shall be granted unless the director makes the following finding in addition to those required above: 5) That in the area involved, transmission or reception is adversely affected by obstructions and, as verified by at least one (1) person holding a valid radio- telephone first-class operator's license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, it is not feasible to achieve and maintain satisfactory communications within the specified height limitations. The applicant provided coverage maps sufficient to determine that an increase in height to 50 feet will provide the coverage necessary to compete with other 8 City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 9 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 -San Joaquin Drive wireless communication carriers. Diagrams have been provided that show the top of the antenna at a height of fifteen feet, forty-five feet, and fifty feet. The documentation shows that the maximum height of fifteen feet does not appear to achieve and maintain satisfactory coverage within the specified height limitations. Conditional Use Permit The City Council must make certain findings in order to approve this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code; those findings are analyzed by staff below: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the City Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 94.02.00(A)(2)(f) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, a commercial communications antenna is authorized within the M-1-P zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. b. The use applied for is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial. The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses and the development of adequate cellular phone levels of services serves the ultimate benefit of the community. There are no other telecommunication facilities located within the City limits in the immediate area of the proposed site. Further, the planting of five tall palm trees on the Escena Golf Course forming a palm grove will soften the visual impact. Therefore, the proposal is unlikely to be detrimental to existing or future uses permitted in the zone, since it will be located in a similar environment. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of the land in the neighborhood. The proposed height of the tower is within the required setbacks for the M-1-P zone. The use will occupy only a small portion of the parcel located within an existing Desert Water Agency site behind an eight (8) foot tall block wall. Therefore, the site for the intended use will accommodate the proposed facility. City Council Staff Report February 18, 2015-- Page 10 Cases 5.1315; VAR 6.531 —San Joaquin Drive d. The site for the proposed use related to streets and highways is properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The only traffic generated from the said use to and from the site will be for maintenance, and the existing infrastructure is anticipated to accommodate the traffic necessary for the maintenance of the facility. e. The conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, including any minor modifications of the zone's property development standards. The project is unlikely to have a significant impact on the proposed project site or its immediate surroundings. Conditions to ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare are required to be fulfilled by the applicant for approval and include, but are not limited to, installation of five palm trees to form a palm grove, removal of antenna upon use-change or abandonment of the subject property and compliance with all Federal Airport Administration requirements among others. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the project is Categorically Exempt as a Class III exemption per Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, CASE NO. 5.1315, TO CONSTRUCT A FIFTY FOOT TALL MONOPOLE WITH ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT SHELTER AND VARIANCE, CASE NO. 6.531, TO EXCEED MAXIMUM ANTENNA HEIGHT PERMITTED AT A DESERT WATER AGENCY SITE ON SAN JOAQUIN DRIVE. WHEREAS, Spectrum Services for Verizon Wireless ("Applicant') has filed an application on behalf of the Desert Water Agency ("Property Owner" or "Owner") with the City pursuant to Section 94.02.00 and Section 94.06.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) for the installation of a telecommunications facility, including fifty foot high commercial communications monopole, an equipment enclosure and block wall located at a Desert Water Agency Site on San Joaquin Drive, APN: 677-270-036, M-1-P Zone, Section 18; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531 was given in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on January 14, 2015, a public hearing on the application for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531 was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on January 14, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended conditional approval of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531 to the City Council; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531 was given in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on February 18, 2015, a public hearing on the application for Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531 was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and 17 City Council Resolution No. Page 2 WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council finds that this Conditional Use Permit and Variance are Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). SECTION 2. Variance: State law requires four (4) findings be made for the granting of a variance. Pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 94.06.01 of the Zoning Code, the City Council finds as follows: 1) Because of the special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The subject site has parcels in the vicinity that contain buildings and landscaping which inhibit cellular frequency at a height of fifteen feet. The applicant has provided a radio frequency map for all Verizon cell towers in the City which displays a gap in service in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. An additional map shows coverage after the 50 foot tower is in place greatly improving overall service to the immediate area and the greater network. 2) Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The subject property will be conditioned similar to other properties that have received height variances for antennas. These conditions include removal of the structure upon abandonment of the use, and compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. There are additional conditions that are proposed as recommended by the AAC to mitigate visual impacts. Therefore, the approval of this Variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations placed upon other providers in the vicinity and zoning designation. City Council Resolution No. Page 3 3) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the same vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The monopole will be structurally engineered in accordance with all applicable codes for the proposed height and location. Therefore, the project is unlikely to be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area. 4) The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of the city. The proposed project has been analyzed against the policies of the General Plan and no inconsistencies have been found. Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(B) of the PSZC, in cases involving applications for height limit variances, no such variance shall be granted unless the director makes the following finding in addition to those required above: 5) That in the area involved, transmission or reception is adversely affected by obstructions and, as verified by at least one (1) person holding a valid radio- telephone first-class operator's license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, it is not feasible to achieve and maintain satisfactory communications within the specified height limitations. The applicant provided coverage maps sufficient to determine that an increase in height to 50 feet will provide the coverage necessary to compete with other wireless communication carriers. Diagrams have been provided that show the top of the antenna at a height of fifteen feet, forty-five feet, and fifty feet. The documentation shows that the maximum height of fifteen feet does not appear to achieve and maintain satisfactory coverage within the specified height limitations. SECTION 3. Conditional Use Permit: The City Council must make certain findings in order to approve this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the City Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 94.02.00(A)(2)(f) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, a commercial communications antenna is authorized within the M-1-P zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 19 City Council Resolution No. Page 4 b. The use applied for is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial. The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses and the development of adequate cellular phone levels of services serves the ultimate benefit of the community. There are no other telecommunication facilities located within the City limits in the immediate area of the proposed site. Further, the planting of five tall palm trees on the Escena Golf Course forming a palm grove will soften the visual impact. Therefore, the proposal is unlikely to be detrimental to existing or future uses permitted in the zone, since it will be located in a similar environment. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of the land in the neighborhood. The proposed height of the tower is within the required setbacks for the M-1-P zone. The use will occupy only a small portion of the parcel located within an existing Desert Water Agency site behind an eight (8) foot tall block wall. Therefore, the site for the intended use will accommodate the proposed facility. d. The site for the proposed use related to streets and highways is property designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The only traffic generated from the said use to and from the site will be for maintenance, and the existing infrastructure is anticipated to accommodate the traffic necessary for the maintenance of the facility. e. The conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, including any minor modifications of the zone's property development standards. The project is unlikely to have a significant impact on the proposed project site or its immediate surroundings. Conditions to ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare are required to be fulfilled by the applicant for approval 20 City Council Resolution No. Page 5 and include, but are not limited to, installation of five palm trees to form a palm grove, removal of antenna upon use-change or abandonment of the subject property and compliance with all Federal Airport Administration requirements among others. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.1315 and Variance Case No. 6.531, to install and operate telecommunications monopole and related equipment at a Desert Water Agency Site on San Joaquin Drive, subject to those conditions set forth in Exhibit A.

FROM: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY The Planning Commission to consider a request by Verizon Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit to install a fifty (50) foot high wireless communication monopole and a Variance application to exceed the maximum antenna height of thirty-five (35) feet above the permitted fifteen (15) feet located at a Desert Water Agency site on San Joaquin Drive. The request includes a 900-square foot equipment enclosure with an eight foot tall block wall surrounding the facility. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Variance request to the City Council, subject to Conditions of Approval. ISSUES: • Planning Commission previously reviewed this case on March 12, 2014 and voted to Table discussion for further information. • Variance is required to exceed antenna height limit of fifteen feet. • No other communication antennas located in the immediate area. • Proposed site is located adjacent to Palm Springs city limit line.

In response to the Planning Commission's concerns, Staff organized a Study Session on evaluating cell tower CUP applications which took place on November 12, 2014. At this meeting, the Commission received testimony from Dennis Hurvitz, PE, of Desert Engineers providing a discussion of cell tower technology and coverage analysis (see attached minutes). Staff notes that direction from this work session is on-going and will continue into the New Year. REVISED APPLICATION Staff has worked with the applicant to re-evaluate several elements of the proposed project. Previously the tower was disguised as a Date Palm with a height of sixty (60) feet. The revised application has lowered the tower to fifty (50) feet in a monopole design. The elimination of the fake palm tree could allow co-location with other telecommunication carries thus reducing the overall number of towers in the City. 31 Planning Commission Staff Report January 14, 2015 -- Page 6 Case Nos. 5.1315 CUP & 6.531 VAR—Verizon— San Joaquin Drive In addition, an overall coverage map of all Verizon towers in the City has been submitted. From viewing this coverage map an underserved area is clearly visible in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. Staff has contacted the Planning Office in Cathedral City to determine if a neighborhood organization is present in the Dream Homes area. As of the writing of this report, formal contact has not been made, however the subject site has been posted for 11 months and public hearing notices have been sent out to all property owners within 500 feet.

The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, staff has determined that the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses. The zoning designation is M-1-P (Planned Research and Development), and the use is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 93,08.00 and 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC). The table below displays the PSZC's development standards and the proposed project's development proposal: Zoning Zone '' Proposed Use Permitted?

Antenna Height: Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(A)(2)(c)(ii) of the PSZC, the height and placement limitations of communication antennas within Commercial and Professional Zones is required to comply with the provisions governing broadcast receiving antennas or Section 93.08.03(A)(1)(c)(B) of the PSZC; according to this Section, "if the antenna is not mounted on the building, no part of the antenna structure shall extend to a height of more than fifteen (15) feet above the ground level nor shall it be located within any required yard." The top of the monopole structure is proposed at fifty (50) feet above the existing ground level. The applicant has submitted a variance application to allow the antenna at its proposed height and provided a radio frequency map for all existing Verizon towers in the City. This map shows a gap in service in the general area of Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. Findings in support are found below. REQUIRED FINDINGS: Variance: State law requires four (4) findings be made for the granting of a variance. Staff has analyzed the findings in order below: 1) Because of the special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The subject site has parcels in the vicinity that contain buildings and landscaping which inhibit cellular frequency at a height of fifteen feet. The applicant has provided a radio frequency map for all Verizon cell towers in the City which displays a gap in service in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. An additional map shows coverage after the 50 foot tower is in place greatly improving overall service to the immediate area and the greater network. 2) Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The subject property will be conditioned similar to other properties that have received height variances for antennas. These conditions include removal of the structure upon abandonment of the use, and compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. There are additional conditions that are 33 Planning Commission Staff Report January 14, 2015-- Page 8 Case Nos. 5.1315 CUP &6.531 VAR—Verizon—San Joaquin Drive proposed as recommended by the AAC to mitigate visual impacts. Therefore, the approval of this Variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations placed upon other providers in the vicinity and zoning designation. 3) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the same vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The monopole will be structurally engineered in accordance with all applicable codes for the proposed height and location. Therefore, the project is unlikely to be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area. 4) The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of the city. The proposed project has been analyzed against the policies of the General Plan and no inconsistencies have been found. Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(B) of the PSZC, in cases involving applications for height limit variances, no such variance shall be granted unless the director makes the following finding in addition to those required above: 5) That in the area involved, transmission or reception is adversely affected by obstructions and, as verified by at least one (1) person holding a valid radio- telephone first-class operator's license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, it is not feasible to achieve and maintain satisfactory communications within the specified height limitations. The applicant provided coverage maps sufficient to determine that an increase in height to 50 feet will provide the coverage necessary to compete with other wireless communication carriers. Diagrams have been provided that show the top of the antenna at a height of fifteen feet, forty-five feet, and fifty feet. The documentation shows that the maximum height of fifteen feet does not appear to achieve and maintain satisfactory coverage within the specified height limitations. Conditional Use Permit: The Planning Commission must make certain findings in order to approve this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code; those findings are analyzed by staff below: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the City Zoning Ordinance. 34 Planning Commission Staff Report January 14, 2015 -- Page 9 Case Nos. 5.1315 CUP &6.531 VAR—Verizon— San Joaquin Drive Pursuant to Section 94.02.00(A)(2)(f) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, a commercial communications antenna is authorized within the M-1-P zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. b. The use applied for is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial. The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses and the development of adequate cellular phone levels of services serves the ultimate benefit of the community. There are no other telecommunication facilities located within the City limits in the immediate area of the proposed site. Further, the planting of five tall palm trees on the Escena Golf Course forming a palm grove will soften the visual impact. Therefore, the proposal is unlikely to be detrimental to existing or future uses permitted in the zone, since it will be located in a similar environment. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of the land in the neighborhood. The proposed height of the tower is within the required setbacks for the M-1-P zone. The use will occupy only a small portion of the parcel located within an existing Desert Water Agency site behind an eight (8) foot tall block wall. Therefore, the site for the intended use will accommodate the proposed facility. d. The site for the proposed use related to streets and highways is properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The only traffic generated from the said use to and from the site will be for maintenance, and the existing infrastructure is anticipated to accommodate the traffic necessary for the maintenance of the facility. 35 Planning Commission Staff Report January 14, 2015 -- Page 10 Case Nos. 5.1315 CUP &6.531 VAR—Verizon —San Joaquin Drive e. The conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, including any minor modifications of the zone's property development standards. The project is unlikely to have a significant impact on the proposed project site or its immediate surroundings. Conditions to ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare are required to be fulfilled by the applicant for approval and include, but are not limited to, installation of five palm trees to form a palm grove, removal of antenna upon use-change or abandonment of the subject property and compliance with all Federal Airport Administration requirements among others.

WHEREAS, Spectrum Services for Verizon Wireless, ("Applicant') has filed an application on behalf of Desert Water Agency (property owner) with the City pursuant to Sections 94.02.00, 93.08.00 and 94.06.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) for the installation of a telecommunications facility, including a fifty foot tall monopole and existing equipment shelter located at a Desert Water Agency site on San Joaquin Drive, APN: 677-270-036, M-1-P Zone, Section 18; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs to consider the application for Conditional Use Permit, Case No. 5.1315 and Variance, Case No. 6.531 was given in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on March 12, 2014, a public hearing on the application for Conditional Use Permit, Case No. 5.1315 and Variance, Case No. 6.531 was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law and a vote was taken to Table; and WHEREAS, on January 14, 2015, a public hearing on the application for Conditional Use Permit, Case No. 5.1315 and Variance, Case No. 6.531 was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the proposed Conditional Use Permit is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).; and WHEREAS, the Riverside Airport Land Use Commission has reviewed the request and in a letter dated February 5, 2014 has deemed the project consistent with the 2005 Palm Springs International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented. 37 Planning Commission Resolut No. 6461 January 14, 2015 Case 5.1315 CUP/ 6.531 VAR—Verizon Wireless San Joaquin Drive Page 2 of 5 THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: �` } Section 1: The Planning Commission finds that this Conditional Use Permit is Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 2: Variance: State law requires four (4) findings be made for the granting of a variance. The Planning Commission finds as follows: 1. Because of the special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. The subject site has parcels in the vicinity that contain buildings and landscaping which inhibit cellular frequency at a height of fifteen feet. The applicant has provided a radio frequency map for all Verizon cell towers in the City which displays a gap in service in the area around Gene Autry Trail and the Airport. An additional map shows coverage after the 50 foot tower is in place greatly improving overall service to the immediate area and the greater network. 2. Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The subject property will be conditioned similar to other properties that have received height variances for antennas. These conditions include removal of the structure upon abandonment of the use, and compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. There are additional conditions that are proposed as recommended by the AAC to mitigate visual impacts. Therefore, the approval of this Variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations placed upon other providers in the vicinity and zoning designation. 3. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the same vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The monopole will be structurally engineered in accordance with all applicable codes for the proposed height and location. Therefore, the project is unlikely to be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area. 38 Planning Commission ResolutiL No. 6461 January 14, 2015 Case 5.1315 CUP 16.531 VAR—Verizon Wireless San Joaquin Drive Page 3 of 5 1 4. The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of the city. The proposed project has been analyzed against the policies of the General Plan and no inconsistencies have been found. Pursuant to Section 93.08.03(B) of the PSZC, in cases involving applications for height limit variances, no such variance shall be granted unless the director makes the following finding in addition to those required above: 5. That in the area involved, transmission or reception is adversely affected by obstructions and, as verified by at least one (1) person holding a valid radio- telephone first-class operator's license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, it is not feasible to achieve and maintain satisfactory communications within the specified height limitations. The applicant provided coverage maps sufficient to determine that an increase in height to 50 feet will provide the coverage necessary to compete with other wireless communication carriers. Diagrams have been provided that show the top of the antenna at a height of fifteen feet, forty-five feet, and fifty feet. The documentation shows that the maximum height of fifteen feet does not appear to achieve and maintain satisfactory coverage within the specified height limitations. f Section 3: Conditional Use Permit: Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 94.02.00, the Planning Commission finds that: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the City Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 94.02.00(A)(2)(f) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, a commercial communications antenna is authorized within the M-1-P zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. b. The use applied for is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial. The General Plan does not specifically regulate the installation and operation of wireless communication facilities; however, the use as proposed is compatible with this designation as it supports cellular needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses and the development of adequate cellular phone levels of services serves the ultimate benefit of the community. There are no other telecommunication facilities located within the City limits in the immediate area of the proposed site. Further, the planting of five tall palm trees .. 1 39 Planning Commission Resoluf,,.)No. 6461 j January 14, 2015 Case 5,1315 CUP/6.531 VAR—Verizon Wireless San Joaquin Drive Page 4 of 5 on the Escena Golf Course forming a palm grove will soften the visual impact. f j Therefore, the proposal is unlikely to be detrimental to existing or future uses permitted in the zone, since it will be located in a similar environment. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of the land in the neighborhood. The proposed height of the tower is within the required setbacks for the M-1-P zone. The use will occupy only a small portion of the parcel located within an existing Desert Water Agency site behind an eight (8) foot tall block wall. Therefore, the site for the intended use will accommodate the proposed facility. d. The site for the proposed use related to streets and highways is properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The only traffic generated from the said use to and from the site will be for maintenance, and the existing infrastructure is anticipated to accommodate the traffic necessary for the maintenance of the facility. e.

He would like staff to bring back additional information from an expert in this field. 51 Planning Commission Minutes 3 March 12, 2014 Commissioner Weremiuk said she not comfortable with the location of the cell tower within a neighborhood. Commissioner Roberts clarified that the Commission is not against cell towers and monopoles but wants to allow them in a responsible manner. Chair Donenfeld opened the public hearing: MIKE HAYES, Spectrum Services, authorized agent for Verizon Wireless, said they have a total of four cell towers surrounding the airport that tie into each other. He explained that the terrain has a lot to do with the height. He said they do their best not to be intrusive and the location is determined where the gaps are in coverage. There being no further appearances the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Klatchko noted that the expert opinion sought is general in nature and not based on these two locations. Commissioner Weremiuk said she prefers to evaluate all four locations at the same time, if possible. She reiterated her concern with the cell tower location within a residential neighborhood and would like to see tree groves in this area as well. She prefers the applicant consider an alternate location.

ROLL CALL: PRESENT: Commissioner Calerdine, Commissioner Lowe, Commissioner Middleton, Commissioner Roberts, Commissioner Weremiuk, Vice- Chair Klatchko and Chair Hudson ABSENT: None ALSO PRESENT: Planning Director Fagg and Principal Planner Roberts REPORT OF POSTING OF AGENDA: The agenda was available for public access at the City Hall exterior bulletin board (west side of Council Chamber) and the Planning Services counter by 10:00 am on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. REVIEW OF CELL TOWER REGULATIONS. Discussion: • Presentation by Dennis Hurvitz, PE, of Desert Engineers, regarding cell tower technology and coverage. • Commissioner Roberts voiced concerns about cell tower height and the accuracy of coverage maps. He expressed a preference for evaluating applications on a case-by-case basis, and was comfortable with the city's current cell tower ordinance. However, he would prefer that there be independent consultation and neutral analysis of coverage maps, and offered that applicants should pay for any additional costs related to this review. • Commissioner Weremiuk noted that the city's ordinance is outdated and needs to be updated to properly address height, setbacks, and adequate guidelines for review of cell tower applications. She also noted a preference for monopoles versus the "monopalm" design. She also suggested that applicants need to 53 Planning Commission Study Session Minutes November 12, 2014 show the locations of all their towers as part of any new applications, and that wireless equipment should be inconspicuously mounted on the new hotel buildings that are being proposed. The Commissioner noted any new ordinance would need the support of City Council, and that the goals for cell tower regulation for both groups should be aligned. • Chair Hudson noted that residents may prefer the monopalm design, but the monopole is necessary to get co-location of equipment. He also suggested that the city needs a coordinated master plan for cell towers, and to look ahead at continued growth in wireless usage. • Commissioner Middleton noted that context is important when installing a monopalm tower and that an isolated monopalm is of no value. • Commissioner Lowe questioned if there were other technologies available to screen or disguise cell towers equipment. He also suggested that a map should be prepared, locating all current cell tower within the city, and to distinguish which towers are monopoles and which are monopalms. The Commissioner felt that the city should increase its review fee to pay for independent analysis of the coverage maps submitted with cell tower applications. • Commissioner Calerdine noted that coverage maps prepared by cell tower companies rely on a standard set of variables, and can be accurate as long as the assumptions are correct. He also recommended that it's important to understand the net current cell coverage and how a new tower improves coverage in the decision making process. • Vice Chair Klatchko suggested that companies need to provide a map showing all coverage for the company, and agreed that the city's ordinance is out of date. He also noted that the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process is still an appropriate meads for reviewing cell tower applications, and that changing technology may reduce the required height of towers in the future. • The Commissioners questioned if the city could require co-location of providers on cell towers and if allowing added height would get greater co-location and reduce the overall number of towers. Direction to Staff: 1. Staff to begin work on an updated cell tower ordinance. 2. A cell tower subcommittee should be appointed to work with staff in the development of a new ordinance. 3. Staff to investigate the use of an independent consultant or peer review in the evaluation of coverage maps, as well as any associated costs. 4. Staff to prepare a map of all existing cell towers within the City of Palm Springs, noting the carrier and type of tower. 2 54 Architectural Advisory Committee Minutes February 24. 2014 from street, different species and spacing.

Ed Cooper John Guerin The site is located within Airport Compatibility Zone D of the Palm Springs International Airport Russell Brady Influence Area(AIA). Given the site's proximity to the runway(approximately 2,050 feet),the Barbara Santos applicant filed Form 7460-1 with the Federal Aviation Administration Obstruction Evaluation � n �� Service and obtained a"Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation." (Therefore,ALUC did ISmWe,CA925o1 not charge an additional fee for review of the variance in this case.) (991(955-9132 As ALUC Director, I hereby find the above-referenced project CONSISTENT with the 2005 wormlucaa Palm Springs International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS: 1. Any new outdoor lighting that is installed shall be hooded or shielded so as to prevent either the spillage of lumens or reflection into the sky. 2. The following uses shall be prohibited: (a) Any use which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red,white,green,or 67 amber colors associated with airport operations toward an aircraft engaged in an AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION February 5, 2014 initial straight climb following takeoff or toward an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach toward a landing at an airport, other than an FAA-approved navigational signal light or visual approach slope indicator. (b) Any use which would cause sunlight to be reflected towards an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or towards an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach towards a landing at an airport. (c) Any use which would generate smoke or water vapor or which would attract large concentrations of birds,or which may otherwise affect safe air navigation within the area, including but not limited to, composting operations, trash transfer stations that are open on one or more sides, recycling centers containing putrescible wastes, construction and demolition debris facilities, landscaping utilizing water features,aquaculture,production of cereal grains, sunflower,and row crops, artificial marshes, incinerators, and fly ash disposal. (d) Any use which would generate electrical interference that may be detrimental to the operation of aircraft and/or aircraft instrumentation. 3. The attached notice shall be provided to all potential purchasers of the property and tenants of any habitable buildings thereon. 4. The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study of the proposed structure(Aeronautical Study No. 2013-AWP-7124-OE)and has determined that neither marking nor lighting of the structure is necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking and/or lighting for aviation safety are accomplished on a voluntary basis, such marking and/or lighting (if any) shall be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 K Change 2 and shall be maintained in accordance therewith for the life of the project. 5. The maximum height of the proposed structure shall not exceed 60 feet above ground level, and the maximum elevation of the proposed structure, including all towers and antennas, shall not exceed 464 feet above mean sea level. 6. The specific coordinates, height, top point elevation of the proposed structure, frequencies,and power shall not be amended without further review by the Airport Land Use Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration; provided, however, that reduction in building height or elevation shall not require further review by the Airport Land Use Commission. 7. Temporary construction equipment used during actual construction of the structure shall not exceed the height of the structure, unless separate notice is provided to the Federal Aviation Administration through the Form 7460-1 process. 8. Within five (5) days after construction of the structure reaches its greatest height, FAA Form 7460-2(Part II),Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration,shall be completed by the project proponent or his/her designee and e-filed with the Federal Aviation Administration.

However, if marking/ lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis,we recommend it be installed and maintained in accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 K Change 2. This determination expires on 07/07/2015 unless: (a) the construction is started(not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, is received by this office. (b) extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office. (c) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within 6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application. 70 Page I of 4 NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTE N OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD 9WHIS DETERMINATION MUST BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAMF PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DA AFTER RE-EVALUATION OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD. This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates , heights, frequency(ies) and power . Any changes in coordinates , heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc.,which rnay be used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body. Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877)487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number. A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)because the structure is subject to their licensing authority. If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at(817) 321-7760. On any future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2013-AWP-7124-OE.
