Huntington Dr.DATE: December 9, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator By: Tim Schwehr, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 1927 – APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 13-18 AND OAK TREE ENCROACHMENT PERMIT NO. TRE 14-49 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A NEW WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY WITH A 50’-0” TALL MONOPOLE ANTENNA STRUCTURE CAMOUFLAGED AS AN ELM TREE AND A 230 SQUARE-FOOT, 12’-6” TALL EQUIPMENT SHELTER AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SANTA ANITA RACE TRACK PROPERTY AT 285 W. HUNTINGTON DRIVE. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1927 SUMMARY The applicant, AT&T Mobility, is proposing to construct a new, unmanned, wireless communications facility consisting of a 50’-0” tall monopole antenna and a 230 square- foot, 12’-6” tall equipment shelter. The proposed project is subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the new standalone wireless facility, and an Oak Tree Encroachment Permit to allow a gravel access road and underground utilities associated with the wireless facility to encroach upon four (4) oak trees. Construction of a new structure of less than 10,000 square-feet in floor area is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the proposed project, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report, and adopt Resolution No. 1927 (Attachment No. 1). BACKGROUND The Santa Anita Race Track property occupies 301 acres centrally located within the City. The property is zoned a mixture of R-1, Single-Family Residential, and S-1, Special Uses – see Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information. The General Plan Land Use Designation of the site is HR – Horse Racing. Sections 9273.1.19 and 9288.6 of the Arcadia Municipal Code allow wireless communication facilities at this property. Resolution No. 1927 – CUP 13-18 & TRE 14-49 285 W. Huntington Drive December 9, 2014 Page 2 of 7 PROPOSAL The applicant proposes to construct a new unmanned wireless communications facility at the northeast corner of the property near the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Colorado Place – see Attachment No. 3 for the design plans. The proposed facility consists of a 50-foot tall monopole antenna structure camouflaged as an elm tree, and a 230 square-foot, 12’-6” tall equipment shelter. An 8’-0” tall block wall with stucco to match the shelter is proposed around the equipment shelter to enclose additional equipment. Shrubbery around the enclosure will provide an added visual buffer. The enclosure itself is designed to have a Mediterranean-style appearance with a stucco finish, S-tile roofing, and a warm color palette. The monopole antenna is designed to be camouflaged as an elm tree as shown on the proposed design plans. New landscaping is proposed around the equipment shelter, and along the east property line fronting Colorado Place. A gravel access road and underground utilities associated with the wireless facility are also included as part of this proposal. Several oak trees are within the vicinity of the site, and the gravel access road and underground utilities will encroach on four of these trees – see Attachment No. 6 for the Certified Arborist’s Report prepared for this project. ANALYSIS The applicant has provided all of the required plans and supplemental documents required by the City’s Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance. See Attachment Nos. 4 and 5, which include the following: • A Visual Impact Analysis/Photo-Simulations of the proposal; • A map identifying the applicant’s existing wireless facilities in the vicinity; • A coverage assessment showing current wireless coverage in the vicinity, and anticipated wireless coverage following construction of the proposed project; • An FCC/Signal Standards Report certified by a licensed radio frequency engineer stating that electromagnetic (EM) emissions from the proposed facility will neither exceed standards set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), nor interfere with any fire, police or other emergency communications system; and • A written assessment of potential available alternatives to co-locate at an existing facility within the vicinity of the project location, and an explanation of why these options are infeasible. The proposal complies with all City and State requirements, and the applicant has made a good faith effort to pursue co-location at an existing facility, but found that there are no feasible options that would provide similar improvements in coverage. The proposed location at the northeast corner of the Santa Anita Race Track property minimizes the visibility of the facility from the Santa Anita Race Track Grandstands and Resolution No. 1927 – CUP 13-18 & TRE 14-49 285 W. Huntington Drive December 9, 2014 Page 3 of 7 infield, preserving the integrity of the property – refer to Attachment No. 4: Visual Impact Analysis/Photo-Simulations. Two new trees are also proposed to be planted to flank the camouflaged monopole to further blend the facility into the landscaping of the hillside backdrop of the Santa Anita Race Track. From the adjacent residential properties to the north, the equipment shelter will be setback 110 feet, and the camouflaged monopole will be setback 130 feet from the nearest property. The proposed facility will blend into the existing mature trees and power poles/power lines located behind the residential properties – refer to Attachment No. 4: Visual Impact Analysis/Photo-Simulations. Along Colorado Place, the facility will be setback approximately 130 feet, but the proposed location is more visible due to an existing gap in the landscaping along the east property line. The applicant is proposing to plant new trees along the east property line to fill in the landscaping gap to screen the facility from public view. There are six oak trees located on the Santa Anita Race Track property within the immediate vicinity of the proposed wireless facility. A Certified Arborist has prepared an Oak Tree Report (Attachment No. 6) for this proposal, showing the location, species, and size of these oak trees, and evaluating the potential impacts of the proposed facility on the health of these trees. The report notes that the equipment shelter and monopole will not encroach upon the protected area of any oak trees, but a new gravel access road and new underground transmission lines associated with the project will encroach upon four (4) oak trees. However, with the mitigation measures recommended in the Oak Tree Report, the Certified Arborist has determined that the project will not adversely impact the health of any of the nearby oak trees. FINDINGS Section 9275.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: 1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. The applicant has prepared the required health and safety studies showing that the proposed wireless facility will not be detrimental to the public health. The facility is located on private property and is setback over 100 feet from the nearest residential property. Existing trees along with new landscaping will substantially screen the facility from view. The monopole will be camouflaged as an elm tree to blend into the existing and new landscaping. As such, the proposal will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the other properties in the area. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. Resolution No. 1927 – CUP 13-18 & TRE 14-49 285 W. Huntington Drive December 9, 2014 Page 4 of 7 The zoning of the Santa Anita Race Track property is a mixture of S-1, Special Uses, and R-1, Second One-Family Zones. Arcadia Municipal Code Sections 9288.6 and 9273.1.19 authorize a standalone wireless facility at the proposed location, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. The proposed location is an undeveloped hillside corner of the Santa Anita Race Track that is part of the larger landscaped backdrop to the racetrack as viewed from the grandstands and infield. There is an existing private, paved access road on the property within the vicinity of the proposed wireless facility location, and a small gravel access road is proposed as part of this project to provide direct access to the wireless facility. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed wireless facility, and no other adjustments of the use or site are necessary. 4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. The Santa Anita Race Track property is accessed from Colorado Place, Huntington Drive, and Baldwin Avenue. These streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the traffic generated by the current and proposed uses. The proposed project, as an unmanned wireless facility, will require only occasional access for maintenance after construction, and will have no impact on the surrounding streets and highways. 5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. The General Plan Land Use Designation of the subject site is HR, Horse Racing, which provides for the continued operation of the Santa Anita Park race track for horse racing and related activities. Approval of the new unmanned wireless facility will not adversely affect the horse racing activities at the location, or the esthetics of the backdrop to the racetrack as the facility will be located in an unused corner of the property with minimal visibility from the race track grandstands and infield. As such, the proposal will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. Oak Tree Encroachment Permit Concurrent with the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission is to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the Oak Tree Encroachment Permit for a new gravel access road and new underground transmission lines associated with the project to encroach upon four (4) on-site oak trees. A Certified Arborist has prepared an Oak Tree Report (Attachment No. 6) for this project, and finds that with mitigation measures, the project will not adversely impact the health of the oak trees.
