STAFF REPORT
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
November 27,2001
TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Thomas Li, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: CUP 01-007 and ADR 01-017 for a wireless communications facility at
900 S. First Avenue.
SUMMARY
-
Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 01-007 and Architectural Design Review
No. ADR 01-017 were submitted by Nextel Communications to construct a wireless
communications facility, consisting of a 200 square foot concrete block equipment
building and a 50-foot tall monopalm antenna structure at 900 S. First Avenue. The
Development Services Department is recommending approval of the proposed
installations subject to the conditions in this staff report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Nextel Communications
LOCATION: 900 S. First Avenue
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review for a 200
square foot wireless communications equipment building and a 50-
foot tall monopole antennae structure camouflaged as a palm tree.
SITE AREA: 18,672 sq. ft. (0.43 acre)
FRONTAGES: Approximately 140 feet along S. First Avenue
Approximately 132 feet along E. Duarte Road
4t
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is developed with a two-story, 7,840 square foot commercial
office building. There are 31 on-site parking spaces, The property is
zoned C-2/General Commercial.
-
-
e
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
No rt h : Beauty salon - zoned C-2
South: Gas station - zoned C-2
E a s t : Offices - zoned C-2
We s t: Mixed commercial - zoned C-2
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Mixed use - Commercial I Multiple-Family.
PROPOSAL
Communications equipment facilities are permitted in any zone with a Conditional
Use Permit (Sec. 9275.1.11). The proposed location for the equipment is a 200 sq.
ft. area located on the northeast comer of subject property. The proposed location is
an existing trash enclosure area that will be redesigned to accommodate the new
equipment together with the trash enclosure. The proposed antennas will be
mounted on a 50'-0" high monopalm located in a proposed 196 sq. fl. addition to an
existing planter area.
The applicant is also requesting a height modification of 50'-0" in lieu of the 40'-0"
maximum allowed in the C-2 zone. The additional height is requested because it is
necessary to provide the best level of service.
SITE SELECTION
Cell sites are "location ally dependent". The proposed site meets the technical
objectives of engineering staff, and concurrently provides the best siting option with
regard to other key criteria that include, but are not limited to accessibility, utility
connections, zoning compatibility, liability and risk assessment, site acquisition,
maintenance and construction costs.
ANALYSIS
Uses such as this wireless communications equipment facility are' permitted in any
zone with a Conditional Use Permit (Sec. 9275.1.11). The new equipment enclosure
and the 50'-0" monopalm will not decrease the number of parking spaces for this
commercial office building. Based upon the .applicant's proposal and location it is
staff's opinion that the proposed monopalm will be an appropriate use for the
commercial site.
The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements as determined
necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Public Works Services Director and
Community Development Administrator,

no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.

DETERMINATION:
(To be completed by the Leed Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact"lor
"potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
[] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been
analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant
to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing
further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brief explanation Is required for all answers except 'No Impact' answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the responses following each question. A
'No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not appiy to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A 'No Impact' answer should be explained where It is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based
on a project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct. and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact Is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. 'Potentially Significent Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial
evidence that an effect Is significant. If there are one or more. 'Potentially Significant Impact' entries
when the determination is made. an EIR Is required.
4. 'Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated' applies where the
Incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from 'Potentially Significant Impact' to a
'Less Than Significant Impact.' The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and brl'lfly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVIII, 'Earlier Analyses,' must be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify end state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects. that are 'Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures
Incorporated,' describe the mitigation measures, which were Incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist, references to information sources for
potential Impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate. Include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources, uses or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. This Is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format Is selected.
9. The explanation of each issue should Identify:
a) The significant criteria or threshold, lfany, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure Identified, If any. to reduce the impact to less than significant.
