Nextel Communications is requesting permission to construct and operate an unmanned cellular communications facility at 428 Broadway composed of a 175 square foot radio equipment building, and a 60-foot monopalm supporting 12 directional (panel) antennas located in the courtyard within the building near the north property line of the site. (See Attachment 1). A monopalm is a wood pole with the antenna support structure and plastic palm fronds mounted at the top of the pole. The Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded this project is a Class 1, minor alteration, Categorical Exemption from environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution PCC-99-11 recommending that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit and the conditions and findings contained therein for a monopole. DISCUSSION: BacklP'ound 1. Site Characteristics The site currently contains a small two-story retail office complex. It is a level parcel with no elevation changes proposed. The entry to the site is through a covered driveway with parking to the rear and under the second story cantilever. The site currently contains 19 parking spaces. The only landscaping on the site is within the courtyard consisting of three palm trees. The street trees along Broadway are palm trees as well. The office complex faces east, along Broadway. (Refer to site plan, Attachment 2 and pictorial display, Attachment 3. Slides will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting.) 2. General Plan.

Proposal Nextel Communications proposes to construct an umnanned cellular communications facility at the northern end of the subject parcel. The proposed facility will consist of an approximate 175 square foot enclosure around a radio equipment building and a 60 foot tall monopole supporting a cellular antenna system holding up to 12 (panel) antennas with three antenna support arms. The monopole is structured within a "palm tree" design. There is a courtyard within the building design that contains a landscaped area of three immature palm trees. The monopalm is proposed to be located within the north area of the courtyard, in between the staircase and the equipment building. The equipment building is proposed to be located underneath the cantilevered second story. The monopalm would be surrounded by the equipment building and the two-story cantilever on the west, a 6 foot high wooden fence on the north, and the two-story building along the east and south sides. This enclosure will cover approximately 25 feet of the "monopalm." (Refer to site plan, elevations and information handout, Attachment 2.) In accordance with Section 19.48, Unclassified Uses, Conditional Use Permits are required for this use and shall be considered by the City Council upon recommendation by the Planning Commission. The height limitation in the CT Zone is 45 feet, but this height limitation may be adjusted through the conditional use permit process. Staff is processing the design review on an administrative level. 4. Similar Establishments There are monopole facilities currently in Chula Vista. Those facilities are PacTel Cellular and U.S. West sites adjacent to 1-5 south of Anita Street which both consist of a 60 foot high monopole. AirTouch and Nextel communication facilities are located atop Community Hospital located at 751 Medical Center Drive and an additional AirTouch communication facility is located at 625 H Street and consists of a 60 foot high monopole. The H Street site is the closest facility to the proposed project. (Refer to the locator map, Attachment 1.) Analvsis The proposed wireless facility will be located in a commercially zoned area, CT (Commercial Thoroughfare). The adjacent parcels to the north and south are also in the CT Zone. The closest residential property is an apartment complex located approximately 50 feet to the west. The Flamingo Trailer Park is located a few parcels away to the south in the commercial zoned district, CTD. Staff identified the following issues and has discussed them with the applicant: 1 Page 3, Item: Meeting Date: 12/16/98 1. Desijln The applicant has selected the monopalm concept versus the monopole to alleviate the monopole visual impact to those surrounding residential uses. This is a new product in the industry according to the applicant. There is currently an existing monopalm in Spring Valley and the City of San Diego. Staff conducted a site inspection of the facility in Spring Valley. The Spring Valley site contains older more mature trees and taller buildings than the proposed site. Since there are no materials or brochures available from the manufacturer, the applicant has supplied slides of the Spring Valley location. (Refer to Attachment 3.) 2. Alternate Sites/Co-location The applicant submitted a description of other sites as required by City policy to provide coverage in the general area of "H" Street and Interstate 5, a map of Nextel's coverage objective, and plots of the drive tests showing amount of coverage for antenna height of 45-60 feet. In accordance with departmental policy, co-locating on existing facilities must be attempted if feasible. If this cannot be accomplished then documented evidence must be submitted. Therefore, the applicant has attempted a co-location proposal with the existing facility site on "H" Street. In order to avoid interference, Nextel would have to place their facility 15-20 feet above the existing AirTouch facility, as any lower location would not serve Nextel's needs. It appears that a new monopole would have to be installed replacing the existing 60 foot high AirTouch facility to support a 80 foot high monopole. The applicant explains in the attached letter that this is not feasible due to structural incompatibility, financial burden, and negative visual impacts. (Refer to Attachment 4.) The applicant searched for alternative project locations within their needs scope. Multiple sites were rejected for various reasons by the applicant. ( Refer to Attachments 5 and 6.) Those reasons include impacts to parking, setback conflict, site restrictions for their equipment building, property owners not receptive to the proposal, lease unavailability, and placement of a lone palm tree was not compatible within the commercial centers. Staff is satisfied with the applicant's conclusion as to alternative locations within their needs area. The proposed site provides a somewhat sheltered location, containing existing palm trees in the courtyard. This area provides some shielding for the monopole from Broadway and residents to the west. The office building elevations are 25 and 30 feet as noted on site plan and elevations. 3. Maintenance Since this is a new product, both the City and applicant are unaware as to the look, condition and safety over a period of time. Staff believes a regular inspection, immediate repair work and constant maintenance would be required if a monopalm is approved. Staff is studying the impacts of new designs or disguises for monopole facilities and intends to standardize the existing policy with design standards, and new landscape treatments for future projects of this type Page 4, Item: 1 Meeting Date: 12/16/98 4. Context Staff expressed concerned with the close proximity of the monopalm to the Broadway thoroughfare. Due to lack of mature vegetation in close proximity, as in the Spring Valley site, staff believes a lone artificial palm tree of this height and design along Broadway would be highly visible. A single monopole would have less visual impact. CONCLUSION: Because the monopole would have less visual impact and would blend in better with the surroundings, staff is recommending approval of the monopole instead of the monopalm design.

Resolution No. Page #2 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows: B. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD The proceedings and all evidence on the Project introduced before the Planning Commission at their public hearing on this project held on December 16, 1998 and the minutes and resolution resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of this proceeding. C. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that the project is a Class 1 Categorical Exemption from environmental review pursuant to ~15303 and ~15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act. D. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA The City Council does hereby find that the environmental determination of the Environmental Review Coordinator was reached in accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, the State EIR Guidelines, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista. E. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of conditional use permits, as hereinbelow set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made. 1. That the proposed use at the Iocation 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 Nextel Communications system is used by many public service providers including sheriff, police, fire and paramedics. The proposed facility will provide needed channel capacity in the area that will help to ensure availability, not only for general users, but for emergency service providers. The requirement for mandatory sharing will eliminate or reduce unneccessary proliferation of monopoles while providing future tower or antennae sites elsewhere in the City. 2. 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 - ---'----"-- Resolution No. Page #3 working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. 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. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code for such use. Conditional Use Permit PCC-99-11 is conditioned to require the permittee and property owner to fulfill conditions and to comply with all the applicable regulations and standards specified in the Municipal Code for such use. The conditioning of PCC-99-11 is approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created by the proposed development in that the conditions imposed are directly related to and are of a nature and scope related to the size and impact of the project. 4. 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-99-l1 will not adversely affect the Chula Vista General Plan in that said project is proposed to be built on a site predominantly surrounded by commercial zoning and multiple residential uses, said uses conforming with the General Plan. F. TERMS OF GRANT OF PERMIT The City Council hereby grants Conditional Use Permit PCC-99-11 subject to the following conditions whereby the applicant and/or property owner shall: 1. Construct the Project as described in the application, except as modified herein or to accommodate one or more similar uses, and/or as approved by the Municipal Code. 2. Upon construction of the monopole, the applicant shall paint the monopole structure a subdued gray shade. 3. Upon construction, the applicant shall paint the radio equipment enclosure and trim the colors of the retail/office building and adjust colors to match any future retail/ office building color change. 4. After construction, replace all existing palm trees which has been damaged and other vegetation in their original location. ,.--...--..--.----.. ,_......_.-.._~.__....,._., ,',"-- -' -...----- Resolution No. Page #4 5. Place the antennae supports and related accessories away from the north property line, so to avoid overlapping the adjacent property on the northside. In the alternative, the applicant may submit an agreement letter between Nextel Communications and the affected property owner to the Director of Planning and Building Department for his approval prior to final inspection. 6. Prior to submitting building permit applications, submit plans for review and approval to the Zoning Administrator for colors, materials, screening and architectural integration of the antennas supports with the antenna array and radio equipment enclosure. 7. Cooperate in good faith with other communications companies in co-locating additional antenna on pole structures and/or on the tops of buildings provided said co-locatees have received a conditional use permit for such use at said site from the City. Permittee shall exercise good faith in co-locating with other communications companies and sharing the permitted site, provided such shared use does not give rise to a substantial technical level- or quality-of-service impairment of the permitted use (as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden). In the event a dispute arises as to whether permittee has exercised good faith in accommodating other users, the City may require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both the permittee and applicant. 8. Comply with ANSI standards for EMF emissions. Within six (6) months after the issuance of its final inspection, Applicant shall submit a project implementation report to the Director of Planning and Building which provides cumulative field measurements of radio frequency (EMF) power densities of all antennas installed at subject site. The report shall quantify the EMF emissions and compare the results with currently accepted ANSI standards. Said report shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning and Building for consistency with the project proposal report and the accepted ANSI standards. If on review the City in its discretion finds that the Project does not meet ANSI standards, the City may revoke or modify this conditional use permit. 9. Ensure that the project does not cause localized interference with reception of area television or radio broadcasts. If on review the City in its discretion finds that the project interferes with such reception, the City may revoke or modify the conditional use permit. 10. Upon completion of construction, provide one 2A:I0BC fire extinguisher at a location satisfactory to the Fire Marshal. 11. Obtain all necessary permits from the Chula Vista Building Department and Fire Department. The design of the equipment shelter and antenna array shall comply with the requirements of the Zoning Administrator and with the edition of the Resolution No. Page #5 Uniform Building Code and the Uniform Fire Code in effect at the time of issuance of any permit. 12. Comply with the City's Municipal Code noise standards. Within three (3) months of the issuance of the occupancy permit, the applicant shall submit a report to the Director of Planning and Building which provides cumulative field measurements of facility noise. The report shall quantify the levels and compare the results with current standard specified in the Municipal Code for residential uses. Said report shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning for consistency with the project proposal report and Municipal Code noise standards. If on review the City finds that the project does not meet the Municipal Code noise standards, the City may revoke or modify the permit. 13. Resubmit this Conditional Use Permit to the Zoning Administrator for reconsideration in the event Applicant applies for a conditional use permit for a second tower within the service radius of subject tower as defined in the staff report. 14. This permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified or deleted conditions imposed after approval of this permit to advance a legitimate governmental interest related to health, safety or welfare which the 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. 15. This conditional use permit shall become void and ineffective if not utilized or extended within one year from the effective date thereof, in accordance with Section 19.14.260 of the Municipal Code. 16. Applicant's failure to meet ANSI standards for EMF emissions or City's Municipal Code noise standards or the interference with area reception shall constitute grounds for revocation or modification of this conditional use permit. 17. Upon cessation of the business operations and use of the monopole by the applicant, the applicant has 90 days to submit a substitute user to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building Department and/or remove the monopole and accessory structure and return the site back to its original condition within 90 days. 18. Applicant/operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City, its Council members, officers, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims and costs, including court costs and attorney's fees (collectively, "liabilities") incurred by the City arising, directly or indirectly, from (a) City's ___.___.__ _u_,,__._____..m__._._ Resolution No. Page #6 approval and issuance of this Conditional Use Permit, (b) City's approval or issuance of any other permit or action, whether discretionary or non-discretionary, in connection with the use contemplated herein, and c) Applicant's installation and operation of the facility permitted hereby, including, without limitation, any and all liabilities arising from the emission by the facility of electromagnetic fields or other energy waves or emissions. Applicant/operator shall acknowledge their agreement to this provision by executing a copy of this Conditional Use Permit where indicated, below. Applicant's/operator's compliance with this provision is an express condition of this Conditional Use Permit and this provision shall be binding on any and all of Applicant's/operator's successors and assigns. G. EXECUTION AND RECORDATION OF RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL The property owner and the applicant shall execute this document by signing the lines provided below, said execution indicating that the property owner and applicant have each read, understood and agreed to the conditions contained herein. Upon execution, this document shall be recorded with the County Clerk of the County of San Diego, at the sole expense of the property owner and/or applicant, and a signed, stamped copy returned to the Planning Department. Failure to return a signed and stamped copy of this recorded document within ten days of recordation to the City Clerk shall indicate the property owner/applicant's desire that the project, and the corresponding application for building permits and/or a business license, be held in abeyance without approval. Said document will also be on file in the City Clerk's Office and known as Document No. Signature of Property Owner Date Signature of Representative of Nextel Communications Date H. ADDITIONAL TERM OF GRANT This permit shall expire ten (10) years after the date of its approval by the City Council.

Initially I had described the placement ofa 6O-foot monopole along Broadway. You had indicated that in order for the City of Chula Vista to support such a facility I would need to provide justification as to why a monopole design is necessary to achieve Nextel's objectives for this area of Chula Vista. Since that time we have changed our design from a monopole to what we call a "monopalm". There is a more detailed description in the attached application but a monopalm is essentially an antenna pole disguised as a palm tree. Nextel arrived at this design only after considering all other options. Nextellooked first at trying to locate a facility on an existing building either by fayade mounting the panel antennas or mounting them on the roof of a building. Unfortunately this design is not feasible since the only property owners willing to allow Nextel to locate on their property have buildings which attain a maximum height of 25 to 40 feet. Nextel needs an antenna height of at least 60 feet to achieve its objective, which is to provide radio signal to the Chula Vista mall, Interstate 5, and surrounding surface streets. Taller buildings such as the Travel Lodge, Bay Medical Plaza, Scripps Memorial Hospital, Early California Motel, and the Mall itself were not interested in leasing to Nextel. Nextel also explored the possibility of colocating on the existing 60-foot Airtouch monopole at Broadway and H Street. In order for Nextel to colocate on the pole the antennas would have to be placed at a lower height of 40 to 45 feet so that Nextel's radio signal would not interfere with Airtouch. This height is below the 60 feet that is necessary for Nextel to achieve its coverage objective. Since colocation and building Letter - Maria Muett August 24, 1998 Page 2 mounts are not feasible the only other alternative is to construct a tower to achieve the desired antenna height. While N extel is still proposing that the antennas be placed at a height of 60 feet, they chose to use the monopalm design to minimize the visual impact of an antenna pole. A photo simulation of the proposed monopalm is included with the application for you reference. Please contact me at (619) 718-3688 if you have any questions. ~~ Mark Brunette Zoning Project Manager Attachments _ _m~__ ~'_n_.__.___._""'_"'''__~_~,>_,,__,",,_,___, '._~'_, ..._ NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT SITE 833-E, U . - - APN 567-200-13-00 l.ocA1\oN The proposed communications site is located at 428 Broadway, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Nextel Communications, Inc. and the owner (James Algert) have entered into a lease agreement for the placement of a communications facility at this location. Nextel proposes to construct, operate and maintain an unmanned, Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) communications facility. This facility will consist of twelve (12) panel antennas, measuring one foot wide and four feet in length, and three small antennas to be mounted on a 60-foot high "monopalm". A monopalm is a wood pole with the antenna support structure and plastic palm fronds mounted at the top ofthe pole (an antenna pole disguised as a palm tree). The antenna structure and panels are located among the palm fronds and will be painted green to match the color of the palm fronds. The monopalm will be located in courtyard within the building near the north property line of the site. Nextel will also construct a new 175 square foot enclosure, which will house the radio equipment for this facility. The enclosure will be located within the first story parking lot undemeath the cantilevered second story of the existing building. This proposed facility would be unmanned, operating 24 hours a day. The only visits to the site will consist of any emergency calls as well as regular maintenance visits once every four to six weeks. SYSTEM BACKGROUND INFORMATION Nextel Communications, Inc. has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to construct and operate the first multi-purpose enhanced specialized mobile radio system (ESMR) in the United States. The system will provide superior service to the public in several ways: I) it will be a fully digital alternative to current "cellular" telephone systems; 2) it will provide digital dispatch services to large fleet users (this "dispatch" service will make the system able to handle a one-to-many fonn of communications wherein one dispatcher can contact numerous mobile parties simultaneously); 3) it will provide traditional paging services; 4) it will provide wireless data transmission. All of these functions will be available in one hand-held unit. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS The service area is divided into a grid of theoretically hexagonal geographic areas. At the center of each area is a low power unmanned radio repeater station, which handles the calls to and from mobile customers within the area. As a mobile customer moves from one area to another with a call in progress, the call is automatically 'handed off' to the next repeater station, without interruption. Telephone line connections between repeater sites and the switching office, and from the switching office to the telephone company central office pennit mobile customers within the serving area to utilize their mobile phones just as they would a home or office telephone, with direct dialing. SITE SUITABILITY This specific site was chosen based on its ability to provide needed wireless telecommunications coverage along Broadway, H Street and Interstate 805 and the surrounding area within the City of Chula Vista. This particular location was chosen due to its proximity to the aforementioned coverage area. This site is necessary to provide uninterrupted service to mobile radio customers traveling from one area to another. Page 2 Nextel Communications Description of Proposed Project 833-E Bay Boulevard PROPOSED USE OF FACILITY The project site is located in a Commercial Thoroughfare zone within the City of Chula Vista. Application is made pursuant to the City's General Plan and consistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. The proposed use of this communications facility will fulfill Nextel's and the community's need for digital mobile radio communication service in this area. This project will not adversely impact the community. HEALTH AND SAFETY The proposed use of this project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in the area and will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) provides better quality dispatch service through both its interconnect abilities and digital efficiencies. As discovered in the aftennath of the Northridge earthquake, the wireline telephones had inadequate capacity to serve the emergency crews. Nextel provided radios and service to the Red Cross to assist their operation in sheltering and feeding the families whose homes were damaged. ESMR provides emergency contact to 911; has authorization to provide emergency services during periods in which nonnal communications facilities are disrupted as a result of hurricane, flood. earthquake or similar disaster; and is authorized to transmit communications necessary for the implementation of civil defense activities as assigned by local civil defense authorities.

FACTS ABOUT... At~-- . "----- --- .... -- . -- ENHANCED SPECIALIZED MOBILE RADIO HOW DOES THE ESMR SYSTEM WORK? ESMR technology is based on a grid of hexagons, or cells, that cover specific geographic areas. Each cell contains a low-powered radio transmitter and control equipment located in a building called a cell site. The cell site is connected by wireline facilities to a Mobile Switching Office (MSO), which is connected to the regular land line network through the telephone central office. With its electronic switchihg capability, the MSO monitors.the mobile units and automatically switches or "hands-off' conversations in progress as the mobile unit moves from one cell to another. Each cell has a set of radio frequencies, allowing reuse of every channel for many different simultaneously conversations in the given service area. INTERFERENCE Our antennas operate in the 800 megahertz band on frequencies designated by the FCC. Only cellular and enhanced specialized mobile radio operate in the band. We may operate only on those uequencies licensed to us. Nextel's ESMR system is "filtered" at the transmitted output to prevent interference in any other band (i.e. TV, radio, appliances, etc.). The digital technology that Nextel utilizes is the "cleanest" and most interference- free available. Within the 800MHz band, we operate in the 850-860MHz area. Because it is such a small band width, there is no inter modulation between the frequencies which would cause interference with other radio users, nor with any TV, pacemaker, hearing aid or other appliance. rj1 ~ N J:: -' :;; W l- e x It) w a) z ,., a; en - co Z E 0 .;( 0 - ~ l- e. e. <C co - 0 0 - ..

Proposals to build new CcUularlMobilc Radio System facUities, in particular.J1ave generated requests for information to address the public's conccrn for its health and safety. .The following is provided to present the public with a framework of information to be used when considering such proposals. There has been much research done that concludes clearly that CellularlMobile Radio systems in the 800. - 900 megaHertz range are safe if operated within the recommended standards that have been set. The studies conducted on the health effects of Radio Frequency Energy are numerous, relevant to CellularlMobile Radio, and independent. These studies leave us with no logical basis on which to believe the transmission sites are anything but safe. Although the technology itself is new, the concept of radiQ_ signal travelling through space is not. CellularlMobile Radio simply described, uses a radio signal to allow communication. There are multiple low-power base s~tions which receive and transmit ~__ this signal and allow users to communicate while on the move. Questions asked frequently focus on the ''perceived newness" of the technology and lead those who are unfamiliar to wonder how the scientific community could draw any useful conclusions regarding the safety of these systems. The new technology that has been developed is used to "process" the common radio signal, using specialized electronic and digital technology. This facilitates more efficient .use of the radio frequencies and allows state-of-the-art capabilities to the user of the system. An of this "processing" takes place within the equipment at the base stations and within the handsets. However, after the information is "proCessed", it is transmitted as a radio signal from antenna to antenna. This radio signal transmitting from the antenna is a common radio signal, a refinement of the first wireless developed by Marconi in 1901. Additionally, the frequencies used in this system were previously used by UHF Television and sit near AM and FM Radio and UHF television, but operate at much lower power. For instance, FM Radio can transmit at a power level above 100,000 watts. Mobile Radio is 1000 times less than these commonly accepted uses. Over 10,000 studies have been conducted by all segments of the interested public over the last 40 years on various fows of radio frequency energy with more than 400 studies having been conducted since 1988. The scientific community speaks through the standards it sets. There are several "standard setting committees" which review the myriad of new research completed each year. The members ofthese committees are leaders in their fields and come [Tom industry, government, academic, and medical communities. G[the members of these committees, only abo\Jt 10 percent are represented by industry. The committees include American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and Electrouic Engineers (IEEE), National Council of Radiation Protection (NCRP). The FCC is currently updating their recommended exposure limit to the 1992 ANSI/IEEE standards, The FCC has an extensive public review and comment process which allows !ll!points of view to be considered prior adoption of any standard. . Additionally, the State of Massachusetts adopted a microwave health regulation in 1984. The process for adoption included public review and comment of the data available. The Massachusetts standard of 550 microwatts/cm2 is the most stringent known at this time. The Cellular/Mobile Radio system proposed is hundreds of times below this regulation. We comply with all Massachusetts Department of Health Regulations that require us to file infonnation on each site and demonstrate that we are well below the regulated levels. The Cellular/Mobile Radio systems operate at very low power, generally less than 100 watts per channel. Mobile Radio systems produce energy levels in areas of public exposure, which are usually less than 1 microwatt per c~ sq. This is hundereds of times less than the lowest standards that exist anywhere in the world. To put these standards in perspective, the mobile radio. power density is generally less than I microwattlcm2. Therefore, it would take more than 500 mobile radio sites in one single location to even meet the standard. The Radio Frequency Energy produced from mobile radio systems is "non-ionizing" which means that it does not carry enough energy to break chemical or molecular bonds. Repeated exposures to this form of radio frequency energy is not cumulative and despite repeated attempts to prove this type of energy harmful, there is no evidence of effects on human health at the levels allowed by the standards. Mobile Radio - Radio Frequency Energy is different than other forms of electrornagne.tic energy such as powerlines or x-rays and cannot and should not be compared with these. X-rays for instance, are at extremely higher frequency levels imd produce a form of "ionizing" radiation which does effect the chemical bonds of cells. Electric power lines are an extremely low frequency (ELF) and high source of electromagnetic energy. The focus on ELF is primarily because of the high power levels that are involved. Potential health effects are a function of both frequency, power, and distance to exposure. All of these factors must be considered when reviewing literature on this issue. Cellular/Mobile Radio is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission and must comply with the very strict regulations for operation. , . , 10n1/QIj c [ f&. '\~ '~ .:. ~., :.

Specifically, you wanted to know if it is possible to collocate above the existing Airtouch antennas by ex1ending the pole to accommodate Nextel's antennas. This concept is not feasible due to the fact that it would result in an additional cost of at least $50,000. The reason for the excessive cost is that neither the existing pole foundation nor the pole itself can structurally accommodate the additional 20 feet of pole, the antennas and antenna support structure that would need to be added. Since the existing monopole is insufficient for collocation a new 80-foot monopole and demolition of the existing tower would be required. The existing Airtouch panel antennas, antenna support structure, and coax cables would all have to be relocated to the new monopole. Nextel would not be opposed to collocation ifit couId be accommodated on the existing pole where costs would be significantly less. This is not feasible, however, since Nextel would have to place its antennas below the existing Airtouch antennas. As I have shown by the drive test plots that I provided you with, the lower height will not permit Nex1el to fulfill its radio signal coverage needs.

As you will see in the specifications the pole diameter, and the depth and diameter of the pole foundation are larger for an 80 foot monopole. This means that the existing 60-foot Airtouch monopole cannot accommodate a 20-foot extension for the placement of Nex1el's antennas above the existing Airtouch antennas. The only way this would be feasible is to remove the existing pole and replace it with a new 80-foot monopole, which has been designed to accommodate the additional antennas at a greater height.

The fueling facility is intended to be immediately adjacent to the corner of Broadway and Oxford Street and to provide service to customers visiting the Costco store, in much the same way as the service station on East H Street at the Costco supports its customers. The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS 99-03, of possible environmental impacts associated with this project. Based on the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and, therefore, recommends that the Negative Declaration issued on IS 99-03 be adopted. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the Negative Declaration prepared for IS 99-03 and adopt Resolution P.C. 99-06 approving the conditional use permit for the proposed fueling facility. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS: Resource Conservation Commission' On October 5, 1998 the Resource Conservation Commission voted 5-0 recommending adoption of the Negative Declaration issued on IS 99-03. Desi~n Review Committee: On November 2, 1998, the project went before the Design Review Committee as a preliminary review regarding the proposed architecture of the fueling facility. In addition to discussion of the architecture, the DRC wanted it noted for the record that they had concerns regarding the stacking of vehicles for the proposed project. They were concerned that there may not be sufficient ..--.------. P r QQ-Oli PogP ? stacking distance between the proposed pumps and the driveway coming off Oxford Street. This concern is discussed in more detail in the body of this report. On November 16, 1998, the DRC voted 3-0 to conditionally approve the architecture of the proposed project. DISCUSSION: 1. Site Characteristics The proposed Costco fueling facility will be located at the southeast corner of a 9.07 acre developed parcel. The parcel is relatively flat and contains the existing Costco warehouse and associated parking to the front, side and rear. Although a separate legal parcel, the 9.07 acre site is integrated into the rest of the shopping center to the north. Thus, the entire 31.38 acre parcel functions as one large shopping center bordered by Naples Street on the north, Broadway to the east and Oxford Street to the south. 2. General Plan. Zonin~ and Land Use GENERAL PLAN ZONING CURRENT LAND USE Site: Retail Commercial CC Retail Commercial North: Retail Commercial CC Retail Commercial South: Retail Commercial CCP Retail Commercial East: Retail Commercial CT Retail Commercial West: Light Industrial ILP Vacant 3. Proposal A conditional use permit to allow for the construction and operation of a freestanding fueling facility in conjunction with the existing Costco warehouse. 4. Analysis Operational Profile: Gasoline dispensing will be achieved through use of a debit or credit card and no cash is accepted. This will help to continue the flow of vehicles through the pump islands. In addition, the fueling P r QQ-Ofi PogP " station will only be open when employees are on duty at the Costco warehouse. Hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Only Costco members will be allowed to purchase gasoline from the proposed fueling facility . Traffic/Circulation: According to the traffic impact analysis prepared for the project, the proposed fueling facility at the southeast corner of the Costco site, directly adjacent to the intersection of Broadway and Oxford Street will not have a negative impact on the level of service on the adjoining streets or intersections. The traffic impact analysis documented that during the a.m. and p.m. peaks, all intersections are expected to continue operating at Level of Service "B" with the proposed fueling facility project, except for the intersection at Broadway and Palomar Streets which will continue to operate at Level of Service "C" during the p.m. peak hours. On-site circulation/stacking: One concern regarding the proposed location of the fueling facility is the potential for stacking of vehicles onto Oxford Street. This concern was also expressed by the Design Review Committee at its meeting of November 2, 1998. The traffic impact analysis prepared for the project includes a discussion about the amount of queue and associated stacking concerns. The study indicates there is about 120 feet of available stacking distance between the pump island and the Oxford Street driveway to the south. This translates to about six vehicles. As part of the analysis, a queue study was conducted on both a weekday and weekend day at the Rancho Del Rey Costco during peak periods. The maximum queue at one of the pump positions was five on a weekday and three on a weekend. The study concludes that the length of the queues anticipated at the Broadway fueling facility will be similar to the Rancho del Rey facility and will rarely impact the Oxford Street driveway. If further concludes that, even if this were to happen on occasion, it would not be a significant impact since Oxford Street is a relatively low volume roadway and does not extend westward to any street. A schematic design showing the proposed stacking ability of the fueling facility is shown in Attachment "B" . Parking Availability: Due to concerns regarding the amount of parking available on the site after the removal of fifty one (51) parking spaces in the front parking lot area in order to accommodate the construction of the proposed fueling facility, the applicant was requested to prepare an updated Master Parking Analysis for the entire 31.34 acre center on Broadway between Oxford and Naples Street. The results of this analysis indicate there is actually a net excess of 32 parking spaces available in the overall center. This includes existing parking located to the rear of the existing buildings. Forty five (45) employee parking spaces will be added/restriped directly behind the Costco warehouse. In order to insure that these employee parking spaces will be utilized for this purpose, the applicant has provided staff with a "parking plan" indicating how the employee parking program P r QQ_OI'\ PogP <1 would be enforced. Staff has conditioned the project to require the applicant to submit a lighting plan for the employee parking lot to the Zoning Administrator for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. A narrative of the parking analysis is shown in Attachment "C". ArchitecturelDesign: The originally proposed design of the fueling facility consisted primarily of a red metal canopy and stucco columns, After a number of revisions to the original design of the project, the Design Review Committee voted 3-0 on November 16, 1998 to conditionally approve the project. Although the overall concept of the design was acceptable, conditions of approval include requirements for further refinements to the architectural treatment. See Attachment "D" for copy of letter of conditions sent to the applicant. Groundwater Contamination: During the review period for the project, staff received comments from the Sweetwater Authority requesting that they be given the ability to review and approve the proposed project due to their concerns about potential groundwater contamination from this type of facility. The concern of the Sweetwater Authority is the potential for groundwater contamination. Specifically, they are concerned about a substance known as MTBE which is considered to be potentially carcinogenic substance. The City Attorney's office has advised staff that the Sweetwater Authority does not have any legal basis supporting it request to be allowed to approve the project. Nonetheless, staff has met with the Authority regarding its concerns and has agreed to condition the project to require that plans be submitted to the Sweetwater Authority "for review" prior to issuance of building permits. Further, the applicant has had preliminary discussions with the Sweetwater Authority to discuss their concerns regarding the potential for groundwater contamination. Based upon the direction from the City Attorney's office, the Sweetwater Authority is in agreement with the proposed condition. CONCLUSION For the above mentioned reasons, staff recommends approval of the proposed project. Attachments: A. Location B. Schematic of vehicle stacking potential C. Narrative of parking analysis D.
