GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Omnipoint Communications, Inc.
A Subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
LOCATION: Arcadia Community Center, 375 Campus Drive
REQUESTS: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review for a
wireless telecommunication facility comprised of a 50-foot tall
monopole antenna support camouflaged as a pine tree, one (1) array of
12 panel antennas, four (4) ground-mounted equipment cabinets in a
concrete block enclosure, and associated underground utility runs.
.
.
.
.
.
SITE AREA: Approximately 4.72 acres
FRONTAGES: Approximately 908 feet along Campus Drive
Approximately 1,721 feet along eastbound Huntington Drive
EXISTING LAND USE:
Arcadia Community Center
ZONING CLASSIFICATION:
S-2 - Public Purpose - Allows publicly owned and operated utilities,
and by Conditional Use Permit, communications equipment buildings.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Public Facilities - Provides areas for the construction of public buildings
and for institutional activities, including, but not limited to local, State,
federal, special districts, and public and private utilities.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: Red Cross and Methodist Hospital- unzoned
South: Holy Angels School and Single-family residences -
zoned R-1-7,500
East: Los Angeles County Golf Course - zoned S-2
West: The southerly parking lot for Santa Anita Park racetrack -
zoned R-1-7,500
SPECIAL INFORMATION
Communications equipment facilities are permitted in any zone with a Conditional Use
Permit. Typically, however; Conditional Use Permits are not required for projects on
City property. This is because a City project that has been authorized by City officials is
done on behalf of the community. In this case, the City is the landlord, and not the
proponent of the project. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit process is being
required to provide those residents and property owners that may be affected by the
proposed project adequate notification, and an opportunity to participate in the review
process.
There are several City properties that could accommodate a cellular antenna
installation. City staff has applied the following criteria to determine which locations are
suitable for consideration:
CUP 06-14 & ADR 06-32
January 23. 2007
Page 2 of 7
.
.
. . Size of the property.
. Vegetation on the site that would provide visual buffering (e.g., large trees)
. Available distance from other uses, especially residential.
Notwithstanding the above criteria, however; any proposal would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
.
Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 06-14 and Architectural Design Review
No. ADR 06-32 are for a wireless telecommunication facility comprised of a 50-foot tall
monopole antenna support camouflaged as a pine tree (monopine) one (1) array of 12
panel antennas, four (4) ground-mounted equipment cabinets in a concrete block
enclosure, and associated underground utility runs. The location of the proposed
faCility is a 484 square foot area to be leased from the City of Arcadia behind the
Community Center building. The area is a landscaped area near the employee parking
lot off of Campus Drive and adjacent to the Los Angeles County Golf Course.
The locating of cellular antennas depends primarily on technical criteria such as system
and network linkages, and utility accessibility. To help explain this, the applicant has
provided the attached brochure, Wireless Communications - Connectina Peoole and
Communities.
The improvement to T-Mobile's coverage by the proposed facility is depicted on the
attached coverage maps, and is projected to improve from marginal to mostly good.
(And, in conjunction with the facility proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application
No. CUP 06-15, will provide at least fair coverage for the area between EI Monte
Avenue and Holly Avenue from Campus Drive to Live Oak Avenue.) There are,
however, other considerations, which include land use compatibility, zoning regulations,
site availability, and maintenance and construction costs. The applicant has
determined that this proposal best serves the technical needs of their system for this
area, and satisfies these other considerations.
Modificatio'l
A Modification is necessary for the 50-foot height of the antennas and the overall 55-
foot height of the monopine. The 50400t height for the antennas is for the desired
coverage by this facility, and the additional fIVe (5) feet is for the camouflage material
above the antennas.
The S-2 zone allows a maximum building height of 40 feet, but Modifications may be
granted forthe height of noncommercial structures. Staff supports the proposed height
of 50 feet for the antennas because a lower height could render this location infeasible
.
CUP 06-14 & ADR06-32

.
.
or would limit the coverage improvement by this facility, and that could necessitate the
selection of an altemative nearby location or additional antenna installations to achieve
the desired coverage. Also, the additional five (5) feet to camouflage the antenna
structure as a pine tree is a good way to screen it and the added height is appropriate
for this purpose.
Staff recommends that this proposal be required to accommodate the collocation of
additional equipment and antennas. The proposed monopine should be designed and
constructed so that it can support additional antenna installations and camouflage.
Collocations should not be limited to any particular service providers. Collocations and
any expansion should be subject to the Architectural Design Review process, and if
deemed significant enough by staff, subject to the Conditional Use Permit process.
Architectural DesiQn Review
The purpose of Architectural Design Review in this case is to have the antenna
structure blend in with the area around it as much as possible. There will be four (4)
metal equipment cabinets mounted on a concrete slab inside a block wall enclosure.
The cabinets and the block wall will be finished to match the surroundings. The
monopole will support a total of 12 panel antennas mounted in three (3) groups of four
(4) on metal struts. The pole and struts will be painted to simulate the bark material of
a live pine tree, and simulated pine branches and needles will be attached to the pole to
camouflage the structure. The antennas will be painted to match the colors of the
simulated tree branches and pine needles. A monopine design was selected for this
location because there are tall pine trees in the area. Attached are before-and-after
photo-simulations of the site.
Other Reauirements
The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies
determined to be necessary by the Building Official, City Engineer, Community
Development Administrator, Development Services Director, Fire Marshall, Public
Works Services Director, and any service districts and utility providers that will serve the
proposed wireless communication facility.
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.
CUP 06-14 & ADR 06-32
January 23, 2007
Page 4 of7
.
.
.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized.
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.
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.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.
CECA
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development
Services Department completed an Initial Study for the proposed project. The Initial
Study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any
of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project. Staff has determined
that when considering the record as a whole, there is 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would .be potentially affected by this project, involving
at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the
following pages.
[ ] Aesthetics [ ] Agriculture R~urces [ ] Air Quality
[ ] Biological Resources [ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Geology / Soils
[ ] Hazards & Hazardous Materials [ ] Hydrology / Water Quality [ ] Land Use / Planning
[ ] Mineral Resources [ ] Noise [ ] Population / Housing
[ ] Public: Services [ ] Recreation [ ] Transportation / Traffic
[ ] Utilities / Service Systems [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION (To be.completed by the Lead 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 project proponent. A MmGA TED
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 I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significanr or "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, 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 EtR 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 ex~pt "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply 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-specitic screening analysis).
2} All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-sile,
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 Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial
evidence that an effect is significant If there are one or more 'Potentially Signilicantlmpact" 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 briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVII, "Ear1ier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, Or other CECA Process,
an effect has beell adequately analyzed in an ear1ierEIR or negative declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Ear1ier Analyses Used. Identify and 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 ear1ier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the ear1ier 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
ear1ier 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, wm,re 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 used or
IndMduals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
6) 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 significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Omnipoint Communications, Inc.
A Subsidiary ofT-Mobile USA, Inc.
LOCATION: City of Arcadia Longley Plant water well site, 2401 EI Monte Avenue
REQUESTS: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review for a
wireless telecommunication facility comprised of a 50-foot tall
monopole antenna support camouflaged as a pine tree, one (1) array of
six (6) panel antennas, one (1) two-foot (2'-0") parabolic dish antenna,
and six (6) ground-mounted equipment cabinets in a concrete block

City of Arcadia Longley Plant water well site (abandoned) - The area at
which the proposed facility will be situated is toward the rear of the lot
between two (2) mature holly oak trees. This property is used by the
Arcadia Police Department for SWAT training.
ZONING CLASSIFICATION:
Unzoned - The omnibus clause in Section 9232.6 of the zoning
regulations, I:lowever; designates all property not otheJWise specifically
classified as being zoned R-1 - One-family residential with a minimum
lot size of7,500 square feet and a density of one dwelling unit per lot.

Single-family residential - zoned R-1-12,500
SPECIAL INFORMATION
Communications equipment facilities are permitted in any zone with a Conditional Use
Permit. Typically, however; Conditional Use Permits are not required for projects on
City property. This is because a City project that has been authorized by City officials is
done on behalf of the community. In this case, the City is the landlord, and not the
proponent of the project. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit process is being
required to provide those residents and property owners that may be affected by the
proposed project adequate notification, and an opportunity to participate in the review
process.
There are several City properties that could accommodate a cellUlar antenna
installation. City staff has applied the following criteria to determine which locations are
suitable for consideration:
CUP 06-15 & ADR 06-20
January 23, 2007
Page 2 of 8
.
. Size ofthe property.
. . Vegetation on the site that would provide visual buffering (e.g., large trees)
. Available distance from other uses, especially residential.
Notwithstanding the above criteria, however; any proposal would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
.
Conditional Use Permit Application No. 06-15 and Architectural Design Review No.
ADR 06-20 are for a wireless telecommunication facility comprised of a 50-foot tall
monopole antenna support camouflaged as a pine tree (monopine) one (1) array of six
(6) panel antennas, one (1) two-foot (2'-0") parabolic dish antenna, and six (6) ground-
mounted equipment cabinets in a concrete block enclosure. The location of the
proposed facility is an 844 square foot area to be leased from the City of Arcadia
toward the rear of the Longley Plant water well site. The well is not in operation. The
monopine antenna structure will be situated between two (2) mature holly oak trees.
The area is unimproved, except for equipment used by the Arcadia Police Department
for SWAT training, which the applicant will relocate at the Police Department!s direction.
Attached is the applicant's project description.
The locating of cellular antennas depends primarily on technical criteria such as system
and network linkages, and utility accessibility. To help explain this, the applicant has
provided the attached brochure, Wireless Communications - Connectina PeoDle and
Communities.
. The improvement to T-Mobile's coverage by the proposed facility is depicted on the
attached coverage maps, and is projected to improve from mostly fair to mostly good.
(And, in conjunction with the facility proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application
No. CUP 06-14, will provide at least fair coverage for the area between EI Monte
Avenue and Holly Avenue from Campus Drive to Live Oak Avenue.) There are,
however, other considerations, which include land use compatibility, zoning regulations,
site availability, and maintenance and construction costs. The applicant has
determined that this proposal best serves the technical needs of their system for this
area, and satisfies these other considerations.
Modification
A Modification is necessary for the 50-foot height of the antennas and the overall height
of up to 55 feet for the monopine. The 50-foot height for the antennas is for the desired
coverage by this facility, and some additional height (up to fIVe (5) feet) is needed for
the camouflage material above the antennas.
.
CUP 06-15 & ADR 06-20
January 23, 2007
Page 3 of 8
.
.
.
.
The R-1 zone allows a maximum building height of 25 feet fora lot that is less than 75
feet wide, but Modifications may be granted for the height of noncommercial structures.
Staff supports the proposed height of 50 feet for the antennas because a lower height
could render this location infeasible or would limit the coverage improvement by this
facility, and that could necessitate the selection of an alternative nearby location or
additional antenna installations to achieve the desired coverage. Also, an additional
five (5) feet to camouflage the antenna structure as a pine tree is a good way to screen
it and the added height is appropriate for this purpose. As a reference, the existing
utility poles along the westside of EI Monte Avenue are over 70 feet tall.
Staff recommends that this proposal be required to accommodate the collocation of
additional equipment and antennas. The proposed monopine should be designed and
constructed so that it can support additional antenna installations and camouflage.
Collocations should not be limited to any particular service providers. Collocations and
any expansion should be subject to the Architectural Design Review process, and if
deemed significant enough by staff, subject to the Conditional Use Permit process.
Oak Tree Encroachment
The proposed monopine is to be constructed between two (2) holly oak (Quercus ilex)
trees. Attached is a report by a certified arborist who has evaluated these trees and
this proposal. According to the arborist, the holly oak trees are not native to this region,
have trunk diameters of about 17 inches, are about 40 feet tall, and are in good health.
The arborist concludes that if the prescribed precautions are taken, the holly oak trees
should survive the construction of the proposed facility without sustaining major
damage. Staff recommends approval of the encroachment upon the two (2) holly oak
trees, subject to all construction activities that may affect the trees being supervised by
a certified arborist. Progress reports should be provided before each building
inspection to document any impacts and the continued good condition of the trees.
If a holly oak tree does not survive the installation of the proposed facility, or is
damaged so that it should be removed, replacement trees should be provided and
planted by the applicant at a ratio of up to three (3) oak trees per one (1) tree that is
removed. The sizes, species, and locations for the replacement trees should be
determined by the Public Works Services Director, and may need to be planted at other
City properties.
Architectural Desian Review
The purpose of Architectural Design Review in this case is to have the antenna
structure blend in with the area around it as much as possible. There will be six (6)
metal equipment cabinets mounted on a concrete slab inside a block wall enclosure.
The cabinets and the block wall will be finished to match the surroundings. The
monopole will support a total of six (6) panel antennas mounted in three (3) pairs on
metal struts. The pole and struts will be painted to simulate the bark material of a live
pine tree, and simulated pine branches and needles will be attached to the pole to
CUP 06-15 & ADR 06-20
January 23, 2007

.
.
.
camouflage the structure. The antennas will be painted to match the colors of the
simulated tree branches and pine needles. A monopine design was selected for this
location because there are pine trees along EI Monte Avenue, and the narrow profile of
a pine tree will be easier to frt between the two (2) mature holly oak trees. Attached are
before-and-after photo-simulations of the site.
Other Reauirements
The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies
determined to be necessary by the Building Official, City Engineer, Community
Development Administrator, Development Services Director, Fire Marshall, Public
Works Services Director, and any service districts and utility providers that will serve the
proposed wireless communication facility.
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.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized.
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.
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. .
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the Development
Services Department completed an Initial Study for the proposed project. The Initial
Study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any
of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project. Staff has determined
that when considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed
project will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
T -MOBILE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
IE05397B SC397 MIHAl PINE
INTRODUCTION
Omnipolnt Communications Inc., a subsidiary of T-Mobile USA Ine., is a registered public utility,
receMng licensing and regUlation from the Califomia Public utilities Commission (CPUC) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). T-Mobile is developing its Wireless network In Southem
Califomia. T -Mobile utilizes an all digital high frequency low power system that operates between 1800
and 1900 MHz range. Avila Inc. seeks land use entitlements, for the location, installation and operation
of an unmanned T -Mobile wireless telecommunications facility on an Arcadia City owned parcel, located
at 2401 EI Monte Ave, Arcadia 91007, and having APN 5787-01So900, which OJrrently is used as a
water pumpJlreatment facility.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
T -Mobile is proposing to locate and build a wireless telecommunications facility, to solve a specific
adjacent area wireless coverage problem, while also attempting to locate and design the site to be
attractive, and as unnoticeable as reasonably possible. When possible, existing structures are selected
for ccHocation, however there were no existing structures in the search area that could be used as an
adequate antenna support. This proposed wireless telecommunications facility location indudes the
installation of six T -Mobile equipment cabinets and one 50' high imitation pine tree antenna support
(Monopine). The equipment cabinets are to be mounted on a slab on grade and 'hidden from view
within a CMU enclosure, stucco & painted to match the existing walls on the property. The Monopine
height of 50' is the minimum height needed to be able to dear the existing tree tops, and to be able to
provide anlll adequate level of wireless service. As can be seen in the attached photo simulations, the
proposed Monopine blends in well, and its height is similar in height to the existing trees in the
neighborhood, and !;\1h<;t9l'ltially lower than the existing +70' high utility poles on the East side of the
property.
OVERVIEW OF COVERAGE OBJECTIVE
Radio frequency (RF) engineers at T-Mobile haveidentifled the proposed facility as an integral site in
improving T -Mobile's wireless network coverage in and around the residential areas of the W. Palm I EI
Monte Intersection. T -Mobile radio engineering objectives are toinfill coverage as well as add
increased capacity to the network. The attached detailed 'Existing' and 'Proposed' RF coverage
propagation maps further illustrate the 'Existing' coverage deficiency, and the 'Proposed' coverage
improvement.
COMPATlBIUTY OF DESIGN
The location, size, design and operational characteristics of the proposed wireless facility will not create
unusual noise, 'traflic, or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable, debimenlal or
incompatible with the surrounding land uses. The equipment does not emit fumes, smoke, or odors
that could be considered objectionable. The use will have no substantial adverse impact on properties
or improvements in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed teiecommunications facility is
unmanned and only requires periodic maintenance, approximately 4 times per year. The proposed
communications facility will not resuJt in cond,itions or circumstances contrary to the public health, safety
and general welfare.

THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA
Wireless telecommunications systems have become increasingly popular in helping Families get and
stay "connected" wirelessly. This increase in Family type of wireless phone usage highfights and
increases the need to improve the quality of wireless phone coverage in residential areas. In addition,
wireless telecommunications systems have proven to be an invaluable communications tool in the
event of emergencies (such as reporting medical emergencies, traffic accidents and fires), and natural
disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc.) where normal landline communications are often disrupted,
overlooked or inaccessible after such events have occulTed. Wireless technology is utilized by
numerous governmental and quasi-govemmentaJ agencies that provide emergency service. Wireless
communications have also proven to be invaluable tools in business communications and everyday
personal use. The proposed wireless telecommunication facility location and the resulting coverage
improvement will be desirable to the City of Arcadia public convenience. InslaUation of the proposed
wireless telecommunications facility will help provide a seamless integration of a communication
network, an inherently beneficial use where the general public will benefit by the improved service. The
number of dropped and blocked calls in the area surrounding the site will be reduced. Furtl)er, the
existing T -Mobile customers, and those who are on the other end of the wireless phone call, will have
better service once this site become operational.

SUBJECT: Impacts to oak trees at EI Monte and W. Palm Drive in Arcadia
BACKGROUND: You asked me to look at two trees on the subject site where a
cell tower will be installed and write a report for the City of Arcadia outlining any
impacts from the planned construction.
OBSERVATIONS: The trees on the site are non-native holly oaks (Quercus i/ex).
They have trunk diameters of between 16 and 18 inches, are about 40 feet tall,
and are in good health.
The construction will include the installation of a pole of approximately two feet
diameter, placed within approximately eight feet of the tree trunk at its closest.
There will presumably be a concrete foundation for the pole extending closer to
the tree and supporting the pole, It may be necessary to remove one large limb
from each of the two trees to clear the pole, An array of cabinets will be built on
grade within the dripline of both trees. These cabinets will be enclosed within a
block wall that will require a 24-inch footing. Underground utilities will come in
from the east of the trees and should have little impact,
Other significant impacts would include damage to the canopies of the trees by
equipment such as cranes, backhoes,etc during installation,
MITIGATION MEASURES: The following measures should be implemented as
they apply to minimize the impacts to the trees,
1. All work conducted in the ground within the protection zone of any protected
tree should be accomplished with hand tools only. (The protection zone is
defined as the area within a circle with a radius equal to the greatest distance
from the trunk to any overhanging foliage in the canopy).
2, Where structural footings are required and major roots (greater than 6 inches
diameter) will be impacted, the footing depth should be reduced to 12". This may
.

t '\

.
require additional "rebar" for added strength. An alternative would involve
bridging footings over roots and covering each root with plastic cloth and 2-4" of
Styrofoam matting before pouring concrete.
3, Any required trenching which has options as to the trench path should be
routed in such a manner as to minimize root damage. Radial trenching (radial to
the tree trunk) is less harmful than tangential trenching because it runs parallel to
tree roots rather than diagonal or perpendicular to them. If roots can be worked
around, cutting of roots should be avoided (i.e. place pipes and cables below
uncut roots whenever possible), Whenever possible, utilize the same trench for
as many utilities as possible.
4, "Natural" or pre-construction grade should be maintained for as great a
distance from the trunk of each tree as construction permits. At no time during or
after construction should soil be in contact with the trunk of the tree above natural
grade.
5. In areas where grade will be lowered, or where.footings will be dug, some root
cutting may be unavoidable. Cuts should be made cleanly with a sharp saw or
pruning tool, far enough behind the damage that all split and cracked root
portions are removed. The cut should be made at right angles to the root so that
the wound is no larger than necessary. When practical, cut roots back to a
branching lateral root. Do not apply any pruning wound treatment to cuts.
6. When removing pavement, as little disruption of soil as necessary should be
. attempted,
7. Pruning.of oaks should be limited to the removal of dead wood and the
correction of potentially hazardous conditions, as evaluated by a qualified
arborist. Pruning oaks excessively is harmful to them. Removal or reduction of
major structural limbs should be done only as required for actual building
clearance or safety. If limbs must be removed, cuts should be made
perpendicular to the branch, to limit the size of the cut face, The branch bark
collar should be preserved (i.e. no "flush cuts"), and cuts should be made in such
a way as to prevent the tearing of bark from the tree. All pruning should be done
in accordance with ANSI A300 pruning standards. No pruning wound treatment
(e.g. "Tree Seal") should be applied.
8. Keep all activity and traffic to a minimum within the protection zone of the trees
to minimize soil compaction.
9. It is important that the protection zone not be subjected to flooding incidental to
the construction work, or to disposal of construction debris such as paints,
plasters, or chemical solutions, No equipment fueling or chemical mixing should
be done within the root protection zone.

10. In general, it is best to minimize the amount of environmental change which
trees will be subjected to, This includes drastic changes in watering practices
from historic conditions, especially drastic increases.
11. Care should be exercised not to allow equipment to physically damage the
tree's trunk, root crown, or lower scaffold branches during construction. This
includes but is not limited to 1) impact damage by scrapers, buckets. or hoes; or
2) damage by tires, wheels, or tracks from operating in close proximity to trees.
MAINTENANCE PRUNING: There is no problem with T Mobile pruning this oak
as needed over the years to maintain it at its present height, as long as they hire
a qualified (ISA Certified) arborist to do the work.
CONCLUSIONS: If the precautions above are taken I believe that the oak trees
will survive this construction project without sustaining major damage. It is
important that the contractor convey the precautions to the technicians installing
the facility in the field.
Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance or if you have any
additional questions. Our goal is to satisfy our clients and help them to better
care for their trees in the most effective way possible. We look forward to
working with you toward that goall

A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply 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-s~e,
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 Significant 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 EI R 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 briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may 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 and 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 used 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 significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
T -MOBILE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
IE05397B SC397 MIHAl PINE
INTRODUCTION
Omnipoint Communications Inc., a subsidiary of T-Mobile USA Inc., is a registered public utility,
receiving licensing and regulation from the Califomia Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). T-Mobile is developing its wireless network in Southem
Califomia. T-Mobile utilizes an all digital high frequency low power system thatoperates between 1800
and 1900 MHz range. Avila Inc. seeks land use entitlements, for the location, installation and operation
of an unmanned T-Mobile wireless telecommunications facility on an Arcadia City owned parcel, located
at 2401 EI Monte Ave, Arcadia 91007, and having APN 5787-018-900, which currently is used as a
water pumpltreatment facility.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
T"Mobile is proposing to locate and build a wireless telecommunications facility, to solve a specific
adjacent area wireless coverage problem, while also attempting to locate and design the site to be
attractive, and as unnoticeable as reasonably possible. 'MIen possible, existing structures are selected
for co-location, however there were no existing structures in the search area that could be used as an
adequate antenna support. This proposed wireless telecommunications facility location includes the
installation of six T -Mobile equipment cabinets and one SO' high imitation pine tree antenna support
(Monopine). The equipment cabinets are to be mounted on a slab on grade and hidden from view
within a CMU enclosure, stucco & painted to match the existing walis on the property. The Monopine
height of SO' is the minimum height needed to be able to clear the existing tr:ee tops, and to be able to
provide and adequate level of wireless service. As can be seen in the attached photo simulations, the
proposed Monopine blends in well, and its height is similar in height to the existing trees in the
neighborhood, and substantially lower than the existing +70' high ublity poJes on the East side of the
property.
OVERVIEW OF COVERAGE OBJECTIVE
Radio frequency (RF) engineers at T -Mobile have identified the proposed facility as an integral site in
improving T-Mobile's wireless network coverage in and around'the residential areas of the W. Palm I EI
Monte Intersection. T -Mobile radio engineering objectives are to infill coverage as well as add
inaeased capacity to the network. The attached detailed 'Existing' and 'Proposed' RF coverage
propagation maps further Ulustrate the 'Existing' coverage deficiency. and the 'Proposed' coverage
improvement.
COMPATlBIUTY OF DESIGN
The location, size, design and operational characteristics of the proposed wireless facility will not aeate
unusual noise, tralIic, or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable, detrimental or
incompatible with the surrounding land uses. The equipment does not emit fumes, smoke, or odors
that could be considered objectionable. The use will have no substantial adverse impact on properties
or improvements in the surrounding neighborhood, The proposed telecommunications facility is
unmanned and only requires periodic maintenance, approximately 4 times per year. The proposed
communications facility will not result in conditions or circumstances contrary to the public health, safety
and general welfare.

THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF ARCADIA
Wireless telecommunications systems have become increasingly popular in helping Families get and
stay "connected" wirelessly, This increase in Family type of wireless phone usage highlights and
increases the need to improve the quality of wireless phone coverage in residential areas. In addition,
wireless telecommunications systems have proven to be an invaluable communications tool in the
event of emergencies (such as reporting medical emergencies, traffic accidents and fires), and natural
disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc.). where nonnal landline communications are often disrupted,
overlooked or inaccessible after such events have occurred. Wireless technology is utilized by
numerous govemmental and quasi-govemmental agencies that provide emergency service, Wireless
communications have also proven to be invaluable tools in business communications and everyday
personal use. The prbposed wireless telecommunication facility location and the resulting coverage
improvement will be desirable to the City of Arcadia public convenience. Installation of the proposed.
wireless telecommunications facility will help provide a seamless integration of a communication
network, an inherently beneficial use where the general public will benefit by the improved service. The
number of dropped and blocked caDs in the area surrounding the site will be reduced. Further, the
existing T -Mobile customers, and those who are on the other end of the wireless phone call, will have
better service once this site become operational.

SPECIAL INFORMATION
Communications equipment facilities are permitted in any zone with a Conditional Use
Permit. Typically, however; Conditional Use Permits are not required for projects on
City property. This is because a City project that has been authorized by City officials is
done on behalf of the community. In this case, the City is the landlord, and not the
proponent of the project. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit process is being
required to provide those residents and property owners that may be affected by the
proposed project adequate notification, and an opportunity to participate in the review
process.
There are several City properties that could accommodate a cellular antenna
installation. City staff has applied the following criteria to determine which locations are
suitable for consideration:

.
.
.
.
. Size of the property.
. Vegetation on the site that would provide visual buffering (e.g., large trees)
. Available distance from other uses, especially residential.
Notwithstanding the above criteria, however; any proposal would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 06-14 and Architectural Design Review
No. ADR 06-32 are for a wireless telecommunication facility comprised of a 50-foot tall
monopole antenna support camouflaged as a pine tree (monopine) one (1) array of 12
panel antennas, four (4) ground-mounted equipment cabinets in a concrete block
enclosure, and associated underground utility runs. The location of the proposed
facility is a 484 square foot area to be leased from the City of Arcadia behind the
Community Center building. The area is a landscaped area near the employee parking
lot off of Campus Drive and adjacent to the Los Angeles County Golf Course.
The locating of cellular antennas depends primarily on technical criteria such as system
and network linkages, and utility accessibility. To help explain this, the applicant has
provided the attached brochure, Wireless Communications - Connectina Peoole and
Communities.
The improvement to T-Mobile's coverage by the proposed facility is depicted on the
attached coverage maps, and is projected to improve from marginal to mostly good.
(And, in conjunction with the facility proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application
No. CUP 06-15, will provide at least fair coverage for the area between EI Monte
Avenue and Holly Avenue from Campus Drive to Live Oak Avenue,) There are,
however, other considerations, which include land use compatibility, zoning regulations,
site availability, and maintenance and construction costs. the applicant has
determined that this proposal best serves the technical needs of their system for this
area, and satisfies these other considerations.
Modification
A Modification is necessary for the 50-foot height of the antennas and the overall 55-
foot height of the monopine. The 50-foot height for the antennas is for the desired
coverage by this facility, and the additional five (5) feet is for the camouflage material
above the antennas.
The 8-2 zone allows a maximum building height of 40 feet, but Modifications may be
granted for the height of noncommercial structures. Staff supports the proposed height
of 50 feet for the antennas because a lower height could render this location infeasible
CUP 06-14 & ADR 06-32iJanuary 23, 2007
Page 3 of7
.
.
..
.
.
or would limit the coverage improvement by this facility, and that could necessitate the
selection of an alternative nearby location or additional antenna installations to achieve
the desired coverage. Also, the additional five (5) feet to camouflage the antenna
structure as a pine tree is a good way to screen it and the added height is appropriate
for this purpose.
Staff recommends that this proposal be required to accommodate the collocation of
additional equipment and antennas. The proposed monopine should be designed and
constructed so that it can support additional antenna installations and camouflage;
Collocations should not be limited to any particular service providers. Collocations and
any expansion should be subject to the Architectural Design Review process, and if
deemed significant enough by staff, subject to the Conditional Use Permit process.
Architectural Desian Review
The purpose of Architectural Design Review in this case is to have the antenna
structure blend in with the area around it as much as possible. rhere will be four (4)
metal equipment cabinets mounted on a concrete slab inside a block wall enclosure.
The cabinets and the block wall will be finished to match the surroundings. The
monopole will support a total of 12 panel antennas mounted in three (3) groups of four
(4) on metal struts. The pole and struts will be painted to simulate the bark material of
a live pine tree, and simulated pine branches and needles will be attached to the pole to
camouflage the structure. The antennas will be painted to match the colors of the
simulated tree branches and pine needles. A monopine design was selected for this
location because there are tall pine trees in the area. Attached are before-and-after
photo-simulations of the site.
Other Reauirements
The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies
determined to be necessary by the Building Official, City Engineer, Community
Development Administrator, Development Services Director, Fire Marshall, Public
Works Services Director, and any service districts and utility providers that will serve the
proposed wireless communication facility,
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.
CUP 06-14 & ADR 06-32
January 23,2007
Page 4 017
.
.
2, That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized.
.
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.
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.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the Development
Services Department completed an Initial Study for the proposed project. The Initial
Study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any
of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project. Staff has determined
that when considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence tlJat 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.

[ ] Utilities I Service Systems [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINA nON (To be completed by the Lead 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.
[J 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 project proponent. A ' MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[1 , 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" or '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, 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, r:tothing further is required,

EVALUATION OF ENVlRONMENTAlIMPACTS:
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 parentheses following each question.
A "No I mpact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault
rupture zonel. 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-specffic 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-tevel, indirect as well as direct. and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the Ieed 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 th,an significant 'Potentially Significant Impact" Is,appropriate if there is substantial
evidence that an effect is significant If there are one or more 'PotentiallySignfficant Impact' entries
when the determination is made, an EIR Is required.
4) 'Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant Wrth Mitigation Incorporatelf applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effecffrom 'Potentially Significant Impact" to a
'Less than Significant Impact" The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than signfficanUevel (mitigation measures from Section
XVII, "Earlier Analyses: may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, Ilrogram EIR, or other CECA process,
an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(0). In this case, a briefdiseussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and 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
InCO!pOrated: describe the mitigation m~res 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
oUlBide 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, andolher sources used 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 significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance,
