FROM: Director of Planning & Building
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 5.0895 - APPLICATION BY SPRINT PCS FOR A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA
ON A 55-FOOT TALL MONOPOLE AND FIVE SMALL EQUIPMENT CABINETS WITHIN A 432
SQUARE FOOT LEASE AREA LOCATED AT PALM SPRINGS FIRE STATION 3 AT 590 EAST
RACQUET CLUB ROAD, ZONE O, SECTION 2.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 5.0895 for the installation of a
commercial communications antenna on a 55-foot tall slim monopole and five small equipment
cabinets within a 432 square foot leased area located at City of Palm Springs Fire Station No. 3,
located at 590 E. Racquet Club Road, Zone O, Section 2. Sprint PCS's representative is Steve
Kaali. The Palm Springs Fire Department is the sublessor of the property to Sprint PCS.
SUMMARY
Planning Commission at its May 22, 2002 meeting, by a 4-0-1 vote recommended approval of
Conditional Use Permit No.5.0895. The mono-pole as recommend by Planning Commission would
be a 55' tall column without a flag. The existing flag pole would remain, and the proposed
monopole would be located near the equipment area. Sprint PCS's representative spoke as the
applicant and no other public comments have been received.
BACKGROUND
Sprint PCS has submitted an application for a Type II Conditional Use Permit to install a
commercial communications antenna on a 55-foot tall monopole structure designed to look like a
flag pole and five equipment cabinets within a 432 square foot leased area located at 590 E.
Racquet Club Road. Sprint PCS is currently in the process of expanding their wireless
telecommunication services to cover the immediate area as well as the entire Coachella Valley.
The communication antenna is proposed to be an internal design locating the antennas within the
proposed flag pole structure near the top of the pole. As a condition of approval, a final landscape
plan would be required to be reviewed and approved by the Director of Planning and Building prior
to issuance of building permits.
The associated radio equipment will be housed in five equipment cabinets. The proposed
equipment cabinets will be surrounded by a proposed six-foot high perimeter block wall which will
be stuccoed and painted to match the existing building. A six-foot tall 30 feet wide automated
sliding entry gate is being proposed to secure the parking lot.
ANALYSIS
Airport staff, was consulted about the site and indicated that the proposed commercial
communications antenna structure is not an obstruction (i.e., the structure does not penetrate air
13A
space around the airport), nor would the proposed antenna have any direct or indirect impacts on
operations at Palm Springs International Airport. Helicopter tours fly in that area during the season,
as well as some private helicopters,and whenever necessary,emergency/rescue aircraft. As such,
Planning Commission has included a condition of approval which indicates that the City reserves
the right to require, at any time in the future, one obstruction light on the tallest point of the
structure extending 12" - 24" above the highest point of pole/fronds if deemed necessary by the
Director of Planning and Building. Airport Operations would advise the Director of Planning and
Building in the event the Airport receives complaints from pilots, the Tower Manager or the FAA.
As an additional condition of approval, the applicant would be required to obtain all necessary
approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration prior to issuance of building permits.
The applicant has submitted photographs of the existing site as well as photo simulations of the
proposed flag mono-pole and how it would appear in the current visual environment surrounding
the site. These photo simulations depict the existing building which measures 15' at the maximum
height, the proposed flag mono-pole at 55', five equipment cabinets within the leased area, and
proposed 6' tall automated sliding gate pursuant to the proposed conditions of approval set forth
in Exhibit A of the attached Resolution, and the proposed six-foot high perimeter wall around the
lease hold area. The site is surrounded primarily by residential uses and open space.
The Planning Commission, upon recommendation of the Design Review Committee, recommends
relocating the monopole, deleting the proposed flag and keeping the existing flag pole(s) in their
current location. The Planning Commission found that the existing flag poles are in scale with the
building and that a single antenna pole without the proposed flag would reduce visual impact and
result in the least view obstruction. Due to the site and surrounding uses, the Planning
Commission found that a stealth antenna design(i.e. palm tree orflag pole)would create a greater
view obstruction than a monopole. As recommended, there will be no visible antennas because
they are located inside the pole.
As a condition of approval, a final landscape plan and parking lot plan would be required to be
reviewed and approved by the Director of Planning and Building prior to issuance of building
permits. Planning Commission has also included conditions of approval pertaining to the removal
of the antenna and/or monopole and equipment cabinets in the event the equipment becomes
obsolete, are abandoned or the Conditional Use Permit expires.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND NOTIFICATION
This Conditional Use Permit is categorically exempt from environmental assessment pursuant to
Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 15303 states that
installation of small new equipment is exempt from CEQA. All property owners within 400 feet of
the project site have been notified of the public hearing. As of the writing of this report, no
correspondence or inquiries from the public were received by staff.

Planning Commission Minutes
May 22, 2002
Case 5.0895—Application by Sprint PCS for a Conditional Use Permit for the installation of a 55-
foot tall commercial communications antenna designed to look like a flag pole and five small
equipment cabinets within a 432 square foot leased area located at Palm Springs Fire Station No.
3 at 590 East Racquet Club Road, O Zone, Section 2.
Todd Mierau, Assistant Planner, reported that the proposed antenna will include associated radio
equipment housed in five cabinets, surrounded by a proposed six-foot high perimeter block wall,
stuccoed and painted to match the exiting building. He reported that a six-foot tall, 30 foot wide
automated sliding entry gate is also being proposed in order to secure the parking lot. He reported
that Design Review recommended that the antenna not be disguised as a flagpole. Directorstated
that an exiting flag pole at the site is approximately 25 feet in height and that a 55 foot flag pole
would not be appropriate. He stated that FAA regulations will dictate lighting of the antenna.
Chairman Klatchko opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Steve Kaali, Sprint PCS, addressed the Planning Commission to state that he is available for
questions.
There being no further appearances, the Public Hearing was closed.
M/S/C (Shoe nberger/Jurasky 7-0) to approve per Conditions of Approval in Staff Report and
relocate pole near the equipment; delete flag from antenna, and maintain the original flag pole as
is.
Commissioner Jurasky suggested that future antenna applications be reviewed initially at a Study
Session prior to Planning Commission consideration.
Case 3.1950—Application by John Wessman for a Architectural Approval to allow for the paving
of a roadway and construction of two driveways on Camino Monte Roadway, a hillside property.
Commissioner Matthews and Commissioner Raya abstained due to conflicts of interest.
Director reported that the key issue is the developability of the lots—whether they are legal or not.
He stated that staff has worked with the City Engineer and City Attorney and determined that the
lots have been legally recorded (some lot line adjustments, some land trades with the City in an
effort to bring future development downhill as far as possible which is best for flora and fauna). He
clarified that, normally, grading plans alone are not considered — usually entire proposed
development plans are considered. He reported that the applicant proposes relocating an existing
trail and dedicating an easement for construction of anew pedestrian/equestrian trail. He clarified
that the trail use is virtually year-round. He reported that the City will assume liability for the trail
easement. He reported that a portion of the site is identified by Fish and Wildlife Service as Critical
Area for Peninsular Bighorn Sheep and that the applicant and the City will coordinate with Fish and
Wildlife Service to determine any modifications necessary to avoid negatively impacting the
Peninsular Bighorn Sheep habitat. He reported that, if access and paving are approved today, the
next likely step will be demolition of the existing water tower and the building of homes.
