NOW, THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the following findings as related to PCC-94o06: That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community. The proposed cellular facility is necessary to provide and maintain a quality cellular phone system in the Chula Vista area. The U.S. West cellular system is used by many public service providers including sheriff, police, fire and paramedics. In addition, the roadside emergency call boxes throughout the County of San Diego rely on cellular telephone communication. The proposed facility will provide needed channel capacity in the area that will help to assure availability, not only for general users, but for emergency service providers. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. Resolution No. 17296 Page 2 Cellular communications operate on low-power radio waves. Emissions from cellular antennas have been shown to be below any levels that would cause hazardous biological effects. In addition, cellular antennas emissions are so far below all recognized safety standards that they constitute no hazard to public health or safety. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the Municipal Code for such use. Conditional Use Permit PCC-94-06 is conditioned to comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the Municipal Code for such use. That the granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency. The granting of PCC-94-06 will not adversely affect the Chula Vista General Plan in that said project is proposed to be built on a site already containing industrial uses, said uses conforming the General Industrial land use designation of the General Plan. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL hereby approves the Project and grants conditional use permit PCC-94-06, subject to the following conditions whereby the applicant shall: Obtain all necessary permits from the Chula Vista Building Department and Fire Department. The design of the monopole and equipment shelter shall comply with the edition of the Uniform Building Code and the Uniform Fire Code in effect at the time of issuance of any permit. Utilize galvanized gray paint on the subject structures to the extent possible in order to reduce the visual impacts of the proposed structures and to allow for the most transparent view possible. Construct the antenna support structure and panel antenna system to a maximum height of 60 feet. Omni-directional antennas may be placed both on top of and below the panel antenna system to a maximum length of 15 feet. Provide proof by letter that Owner has paid applicable developer fees to both school districts prior to the issuance of any building permit. This permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified, or deleted conditions imposed after adoption of this resolution to advance a legitimate governmental interest related to health, safety or welfare which City shall impose after advance written notice to the permittee and after the City has given to the permittee the right to be heard with regard thereto. However, the City, in exercising this reserved right/condition, may not impose a substantial expense or deprive Permittee of a substantial revenue source which the Permittee can not, in the normal operation of the use permitted, be expected to economically recover. Resolution No. 17296 Page 3 This conditional use permit shall become void and ineffective if not utilized within one year from the effective date thereof, in accordance with Section 19.14.260 of the Municipal Code. Failure to comply with any condition of approval shall cause this permit to be reviewed by the City for additional conditions or revocation.
