The project is a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a utility - mounted wireless communication facility (WCF) to extend horizontally more than 18 inches from an existing utility -pole which it would be attached to. The proposed WCF would be located in the public right -of -way (parkway), at 505 East Imperial Avenue The protect site is the existing 60 -foot high Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) utility pole located approximately 125 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 500 East Imperial Avenue (mortuary property) The project site also includes a portion of the parkway (about 49 50 square feet) located approximately 175 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 530 East Imperial Avenue (elementary school). The distance between the utility pole and the affected portion of the parkway is about 49' -7 ". The WCF would contain 3 panel antennas attached to 2 antenna arms [with a horizontal extension of 5 feet per arm on each side of the utility pole, for a total horizontal length of 10 feet per arm] located about 26 feet high on the utility pole The WCF would also contain 3 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) electronic equipment cabinets, which range in height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet, which would be located on a 49.50 square foot concrete pad in the parkway The WCF would be unmanned. 4. Nearby and adjacent land uses include a mortuary and elementary school to the south, public right -of -way to the east and west, Imperial Avenue and a landscaped open space strip (which separates Imperial Avenue from Imperial Highway) to the north, and Imperial Highway and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) further north 5 According to the Public Works Department, Pacific Bell Wireless is not required to sign a franchise agreement with the City for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because it is considered a public utility company which is exempt from signing such agreements as determined by the Public Utilities Commission 6 The City of El Segundo, acting as the lead agency, has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is the appropriate environmental review for the project, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No potentially significant environmental impacts are anticipated due to the development or operation of the proposed protect The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law As the C.0 P was denied. The Planning Commission additionally denied the certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration On November 29, 1999, at the public hearing, the Planning Commission determined that the utility- mounted WCF would not be visually compatible with the surrounding area, the landscaping around the BTS cabinets would protrude into the available on- street parking, the WCF would be detrimental to aesthetics, alternative locations for the WCF should be explored, and, that the WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies RESOLUTION NO DENYING APPEAL EA- 491 & CUP 99 -9 PAGE NO 2 0 of the General Plan 9. On December 9, 1999, Nat Pendleton of O'Neal Communications Group, Inc., representative for Pacific Bell Wireless, filed a letter of appeal with the City Clerk, within the 10 day appeal period In his letter of appeal, Mr Pendleton claims that the Commission 1) did not show proper discretion when it closed the public hearing because it brought forth three (3) new issues which the applicant was not given an opportunity to respond to, and, 2) the Commission's decision was not supported by evidence presented by the applicant or information contained in the Planning staff report 10 On January 18, 2000, at the public hearing, the City Council denied the appeal of Planning Commission Resolution 2458 finding as follows. a) The proposed WCF does not blend Into the surrounding environment, in fact due to the height and bulk of the ground - mounted portions of the facility and the narrowness of the parkway where it is proposed to be sited, visual screening to make the proposed WCF adequately blend into the surrounding environment cannot be achieved, b) The landscape screening of the proposed WFC would be likely to protrude Into the adjacent public right -of -way and /or improperly Intrude into the adjacent sidewalk and vehicle parking area and present an Inconvenience and /or possible hazard to the public; c) Due to Its overall size and Its proposed location, the WCF would present a visual blight; d) The appellant has not adequately explored alternative sites for this WCF, and has not presented sufficient evidence that Indicates there are not ample adequate alternative sites where this WCF may be located that will both serve the technical needs of the appellant and provide a more aesthetically pleasing and less obtrusive alternative to the proposed location; e) The proposed WCF is not compatible with the surrounding land uses in the area because it presents a visual blight and a potential inconvenience and /or hazard to users of the public nght -of -way and, due-to the overall size of the WCF and the severe limitations of the proposed site, such incompatibility cannot be adequately mitigated, f) The siting of the proposed WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan or Title 20 of the El Segundo Municipal Code. SECTION 1.

The Planning Commission did not show proper discretion when it closed the testimony from the applicant and then subsequently brought forth new issues in their closed discussion which were key in forming their decision for demal and to which the applicant was not given the opportunity to respond to, nor given the opportunity to request a continuance of the hearing at a later date to respond to these new issues The new issues brought forth by the Planning Commission are as follows, along with Pacific Bell Wireless's response to each of these new issues ISSUE 1. The Planning Commission contends that the proposed site would set an undesirable and unwanted future precedent for utility pole mounted wireless antenna facilities in the City of El Segundo because of the fact that the proposed Pacific Bell Wireless antennas would extend out from the pole 60" which is beyond the desired 18" horizontal extension limitation called for under section 20 62 100 E of the City of El Segundo Zoning Code (ESZC) and would therefore have a significant negative visual environmental unpact Rebuttal: Pacific Bell Wireless contends that although the approval of this site would set a precedent for utility pole mounted antenna facilities, this would not lead to a future proliferation of these type of facilities m the City of El Segundo, especially along the Imperial Avenue/ Imperial Highway condor for the following reasons 016 18500 Von Karman Avenue, Suae 870 - Irvine, CA 92612 Phone (949) 477 -3010 - Paz (949) 477 -2370 {s'x O_'NEAL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

Page 3 of 7 Pacific Bell Wireless Letter of Anneal to City of El Segundo Planning Commission Re: Denial of Resolution No. 2458, CUP -99 -9, EA -491 (Coot) Pacific Bell Wireless takes issue with Section 20.62.100.E of the ESZC which stipulates a desirable maximum horizontal antenna extension from the utility pole of IS inches, while the State of California Utility Commission General Order 95, Rule 20 5 -E states that (Ref Exhibit III) "Climbing Space means the space reserved along the surface of a climbable pole or structure to permit ready access for linemen to equipment and conductors located on the pole or structure. Climbing space shall be maintained from ground leveL" The HNorizontal separation suggested in The City of El Segundo Zoning Code does not allow for this service crew access This has been confirmed by the LADWP, who has reviewed and approved the proposed design. The Commissioners discussing this matter at the hearing agreed that perhaps this limitation should be revised in view of the above information ISSUE II. The Planning Commission contends that the applicant should have looked at alternate sites for the location of the proposed site and should have considered locating on suitable adjacent buildings in the area or should have considered a stealth type monopole in the adjacent school district property to the south of the proposed site Rebuttal Pacific Bell Wireless has determined in due diligence that the proposed site is the only site available that will be able to furnish adequate coverage to the target coverage area. The applicant has conducted a site search in the search ring target area for the past year having looked at (7) other potential sites that were determmed to be either unavailable, would not pass the RF test, or were deemed undesirable by the City Planning Department (Reference attached Exhibit IV -Site Search Summary & Exhibit I- Pacific Bell Wireless Before & after coverage & Site Location maps) If Pacific Bell Wireless were to locate the site further to the south or east, as suggested by the Planning Commission, tins would require a higher antenna installation in order too assure that radio signals would not be blocked by the hilly topography in the area This would either require a monopole, which is no longer allowed by current zoning, or a roof top antenna installation on an existing structure of sufficient height Pacific Bell Wireless has searched the area for a suitable structure and dewimmed that there are no available buildings of suitable height available in the search ring area The existing building structures of adequate height that he further to the east are too distant to provide adequate coverage based on actual RF coverage tests conducted Pacific Bell Wireless has investigated locating a site in the 1000 to 2000 block of Imperial Avenue, but due to the location of other existing Pacific Bell wireless sites and the hilly topography in the area a site located in tins area will not fill the existing coverage hole 18500 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 870 • Irvine, CA 92612 Phone (949) 477 -3010 • Fax (949) 477 -2370 _O'NEAL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

The Planning Commission Decision for denial is not supported by the evidence presented by the applicant and the evidence in the City of El Segundo Planning Staff Report for the following reasons ISSUE 1 The Planning Commission contends that the proposed site will have a significant enough negative visual impact on the area ands its residents to warrant denial of the site, while at the same time there was not one property owner out of the 108 notified who voiced a complaint about the site, either at the hearing or prior to the hearing, to the applicant's knowledge Pacific Bell Wireless concedes that the proposed antennas might be considered unsightly mounted by themselves, but maintains that they do not make the power pole significantly more unsightly than it already is Are the proposed (3) three 681ugh x 8 "wide x 2 "deep antennas mounted on arms extending outward 60" from the existing 60 ft lugh LADWP wooden power transmission pole, with (4) four levels of power transmission lines and (4) four 8' horizontal cross supports visually significant when viewed in relation to the much larger scale of the power transmission poles and the backdrop of the overhead transmission Imes? In order for those reviewing this appeal to understand more clearly why Pacific Bell Wireless has narrowed their search for a site in the area to the proposed location at 505 Impenal Avenue, one must understand what Pacific Bell Wireless's (PBW's) overall goals and technical parameters are in selecting a site The following is a brief explanation of PBW's goals and the technical parameters involved in selecting this site Pacific Bell Wireless, a subsidiary of Pacific Bell telephone company, has set their goals to become the premier wireless provider to bring a superior, more cost- effective and secure personal communication services (PCS) wireless communications network to the Southern California market Wireless communications are transmitted through the air by radio frequencies The two oldest forms are cellular and enhanced specialized mobile radio (ESMR), both of which are transmitted by radio waves The newest form of wireless commumcations, personal communications services (PCS), is transmitted by higher frequency radio waves PCS is the next generation of wireless communications Consumers of PCS will be offered more affordable services such as voice communication, caller identification, paging, facsimile services, E -mail, video telecommunications, and cellular digital data communications (CDPD) Eventually, customers may have one single phone number for many of those services, regardless of location Wireless communication is accomplished by linking a wireless network of radio wave transmitting devices such as portable and car phones, to the conventional telephone system through a series of short-range, contiguous cells Similar to honeycomb pattem, a cellular system is composed of many neighboring and interconnecting "cell site," or geographical areas. Each cell site within the system contains transmitting and receiving antennas As a customer enters one cell and exits another, the call is transferred between the cells by a computer 18500 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 870 • Irvine, CA 92612 " 2 C Phone (949) 477 -3010 • Farz (949) 477 -2370 O_'NEAL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC. Page 6 of 7 Pacific Bell Wireless Letter of Anneal to City of El Segundo Planning Commission Re: Denial of Resolution No. 2458, CUP -99 -9, EA -491 (Cont) Calls can originate or be received from a wireless source because antennas share a fixed number of frequencies across the network grid That is, while a caller may dial his/her destination number from within the radius of one cell antenna, then travel into the radius of another during the call At the same tune, the call is handed off from one antenna to the next While the caller is moving, the provider's antennas are automatically locating an unoccupied frequency on the next antenna, thus enabling continuous, uninterrupted transmission The distance between antenna sites will normally range from 1/2 mile to 9 miles, depending on the population density, consumer usage, existing vertical elements, and the geographical terrain And, while PCS requires more antenna sites, they are generally not as large or obtrusive as conventional cellular sites, some of which require huge housings the size of an 8' x 12' room In order to have a clear line -of- -site, antennas must be mounted lugh enough to overcome challenges posed by local topography and development The required height is usually proportional to a combination of the distance antennas can cover and the demand for PCS service within their sphere of influence Antennas can be mounted on freestanding towers, guyed towers, and lattice, or self- support towers Antennas can also be placed on rooftops, integrated into the building's architecture, and other building features if the building's height can accommodate the service area Wireless facilities are located throughout the service area to provide adequate call coverage, capacity and quality The following are some of the basic types of cell sites Coverage site serve to expand coverage in large areas or in areas with difficult terrain and to enhance coverage for portable systems Coverage sites allow users to make and maintain calls as they travel between cells The proposed sire al 505 haponal Avenue is a ootarale site. Capacity sites serve to increase the capacity when surrounding sites have reached their practical channel Imuts As the years pass, the number of subscribers increases exponentially creating a strain on the existing network In order to alleviate this strain, capacity sites are implemented into the systems network to accommodate the increase in customer demand PCS is basically an expanded, more advanced and cost- effective network than the current cellular and ESMR systems Like cellular, the PCS system uses wireless access and is designed with mobility needs in mind PCS will employ transmission stations that carry and hand -off phone signals as the caller moves from one area to another The PCS systems will work at the 1900 Mhz frequencies and will mcorporate all the services—and more — available from the current cellular systems Like the ESMR systems, the PCS system is a digital technology with an 8 1 ratio of voice channel to cellular This allows for greater system capacity —far beyond that of cellular PCS digital technology, a GSM based technology, uses lughly encrypted signalmg making eavesdropping on a call nearly impossible The encryption and encoding algorithms are 18500 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 870 • Irvine, CA 92612 f� " Phone (949) 477 -3010 • Fax (949) 477 -2370 _O'NEAL COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

PETITIONED BY: PACIFIC BELL WIRELESS. WHEREAS, applications have been received from Pacific Bell Wireless, requesting said approvals, WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA -491), which includes an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the proposed use, has been prepared and circulated to all interested parties, staff, and affected public agencies for review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the applications and supporting evidence with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No 3805), WHEREAS, on November 29, 1999, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public hearing on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public hearing was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment EA -491 and CUP 99-9, and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established The protect is a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a utility- mounted wireless communication facility (WCF) which would extend horizontally more than 18 inches, in the public right -of -way (parkway), at 505 East Imperial Avenue 2 The protect site is the existing 60 -foot high Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) utility pole located approximately 125 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 500 East Imperial Avenue (mortuary property) The protect site also includes a portion of the parkway (about 49 50 square feet) located approximately 175 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 530 East Imperial Avenue (elementary school) The distance between the utility pole and the affected portion of the parkway is about 49' -7" 3 The WCF would contain 3 panel antennas attached to 2 antenna arms [with a horizontal extension of 5 feet per arm on each side of the utility pole, for a total horizontal length of 10 feet per arm] located about 26 feet high on the utility pole The WCF would also contain 3 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) electronic equipment cabinets, which range in height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet, which would be located on a 49 50 square foot concrete pad in the parkway The WCF would be unmanned -, ?� 4 Nearby and adjacent land uses Include a mortuary and elementary school to the south, public right -of -way to the east and west, Imperial Avenue and a landscaped open space strip (which separates Imperial Avenue from imperial Highway) to the north, and Imperial Highway and Los Angeles international Airport (LAX) further north According to the Public Works Department, Pacific Bell Wireless Is not required to sign a franchise agreement with the City for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because it is considered a public utility company which is exempt from signing such agreements as determined by the Public Utilities Commission The City of El Segundo, acting as the lead agency, has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is the appropriate environmental review for the project, In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) No potentially significant environmental impacts are anticipated due to the development or operation of the proposed project 7 The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law As the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Zone Text Amendments are recommended for Denial, the Planning Commission additionally recommends that the City Council Deny the certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration 8 On November 29, 1999, at the public hearing, the Planning Commission determined that the utility- mounted WCF would not be visually compatible with the surrounding area, the landscaping around the BTS cabinets would protrude into the available on- street parking, the WCF would be detrimental to aesthetics, alternative locations for the WCF should be explored, and, that the WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission denies Environmental Assessment EA-491 and CUP 99 -9 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, according to the El Segundo Municipal Code, a copy of this Resolution shall be mailed to the applicant at the address shown on the application and to

Property Owners: Parkway — CUP 99 -9 City of EI Segundo, Utility Pole — Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Contract Planner Hannah L Brbndial Bowen summarized the staff report as outlined in the Agenda Packet. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked for clarification on the length of the horizontal antenna arms. Ms. Bowen stated the total length is 10 feet, with a width of 5 feet on each side of the pole. Chairman Crowley questioned the standard in the City for truck clearances. Ms Bowen stated she will check the Zoning Code Interim Director Hansen stated that the City's standard should be equivalent to the State Department of 0 25 Highway's standard which is probably in excess of 14 or 15 feet Chairman Crowley asked if another unit was added, would the applicant need to go through the CUP process again? Interim Director Hansen stated it would probably be within their administrative ability to approve it, assuming that there would not be any net extension abdbe and beyond what is currently allowed. Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing. Nat D. Pendleton, O'Neal Communications Group, Inc. He stated he is available for questions Vice -Chair Wycoff asked what the purpose is for three antennas and their orientation? Mr. Pendleton stated they need to have a 360 degree coverage around the antennas, and each antenna covers a one -third sector. He said they have three cabinets with one holding the radio equipment, one holding the telco interconnect which they have with the land system and the other is a power cabinet. He further stated that they will try to bring the antennas down to a level that would be less intrusive and still maintain adequate clearance underneath. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there is any minimum separation on the antennas? Mr Pendleton stated yes, and that is why they have the 5 foot arms allowing the desired separation. Vice -Chair Wycoff pointed out that two of the antennas have almost no separation Mr. Pendleton stated they need the separation away from the pole, not so much between antennas. Vice -Chair Wycoff also asked why the antennas have to be out away from the pole? Mr Pendleton stated it is a necessary requirement in order to get the coverage. He further said the reason they have the 5 foot separation away from the pole is that it is a requirement of the State Utilities Commission that allows space for them to climb the poles. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there has to be 5 feet of clearance all around the pole for climbing purposes? Mr. Pendleton stated they have to get the 0 degree direction off of the first ector, 240 degree direction off of the second sector and 120 degree direction off the third section. He said this approach would only require one cross arm. Vice -Chair Wycoff suggested instead of having horizontal separation, there could be vertical separation against the pole which would impose less of a visual impact Mr Pendleton pointed out that each antenna is essentially two antennas in one which transmits and receives, and the approach they currently have would eliminate the need for six antennas. Roy Yonemoto, O'Neal Communications Group, Inc. ) 2 6 He stated they need the horizontal separation to meet the G095 requirement to have the climbing space He further said there is a certain requirement for distance of separation between their equipment and the existing utilities on the pole, and vertical separation may impose on these requirements. Commissioner Kretzmer expressed; concern with competitors installing similar equipment in the area. Commissioner Mahler asked if this device would have a positive or negative impact for actual cellular phone usage in El Segundo? He also asked if there would be any noise impact on the closest residents Mr. Pendleton stated this cell site is strategically placed and will improve coverage in El Segundo He further indicated there would be no noise involved Chairman Crowley asked if there will be expansion capabilities? Mr Pendleton stated the site will only be a coverage site and will handle a limited amount of traffic and will not be expanded. Chairman Crowley expressed concern with the landscaping, and stated the bushes on the other side of the sidewalk may protrude into the street parking area. Mr Pendleton indicated the landscaping would be maintained at least twice a year. He further indicated there is approximately 21 feet of clearance above the asphalt. Commissioner Kretzmer suggested that the cabinets be painted a color that would blend in with the landscaping. He also asked if the antennas are similar to antennas seen affixed to buildings? Mr. Pendleton stated yes Commissioner Kretzmer stated the antennas do not enhance the look of the utility poles, and he would prefer to place them in an alternative area. He suggested color coordinated panels be constructed and placed on the bell tower around the mortuary. Mr. Pendleton pointed out that it would be up to the mortuary Mr Pendleton explained that they have explored other alternatives for placement of the antennas including other utility pole sites, but felt the pole they have selected is a good alternative to a regular monopole. Also, he stated there are no appropriate other buildings other than the mortuary. He further stated they have been working with the Planning Department and staff for the last year and feel the site selected is the best alternative for a site that will give them the coverage needed in the area. Carl Jacobson, El Segundo Resident He noted that the City passed a wireless ordinance in the past for pre - setting some sites for these type of wireless antennas. He also stated where the shrubs will be located is where the parking is for people going to the mortuary, and the passengers of the cars will not be able to ewt in that area. He indicated the coverage will help Pac Bell's system, not the other wireless systems. He foresees more wireless companies wanting to give coverage to 027 the Airport, and these companies will be installing their systems on more poles in the area Chairman Crowley closed the public hearing Commissioner Kretzmer read the -language in Policy LU7 -2 5 and stated he does not believe that anything that is not visually detrimental necessarily enhances the appearance of surrounding areas He believes there is another alternative to make the project more attractive He is also concerned with setting a precedent for other wireless companies He stated he does not believe this project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan Chairman Crowley indicated that they have already approved a lot of wireless facilities along the Imperial Avenue comdor, but also agrees this proposal would be a precedent setting item. He noted that the proposal would be located on a shorter pole in the area because it is on a hill Regarding the CUP, he also questioned whether or not it is compatible with the surrounding area He also would like to see more (utility) wires put underground in the future. Commissioner Mahler stated that the Commission has to decide if this proposal is in the best interest of the City and is the vision they want to pass onto the citizens. Vice -Chair Wycoff indicated that in the past when the Commission enacted the Wireless Communications Ordinance, there was a lot of discussion over many meetings He said there was clear intent of enabling the requirements of the FCC and Federal regulations for open access in the City while maintaining aesthetics so the wireless facilities would not become an eyesore. He believes they arrived at a fair and equitable compromise for all concerned. The 18 inch requirement was to prevent a horizontal spread out from vertical structures to mitigate the visual impact in the sky He feels this proposal does not comply with the literal interpretation or intent of the Ordinance He would like to see some alternatives. He pointed out that on the Environmental Impact Study under Aesthetics, Master Page 26, Box 3 (less than significant with mitigation incorporated) is checked under Question C, Substantially Degrade the Existing Visual Character or Quality of the Site and Its Surroundings He is also concerned with precedent setting and parking being impacted. He further noted there would not be much residential coverage for the City as a whole, but it would provide a lot of coverage for the LAX area. Commission Mahler pointed out that the proposal looks more like it would be a win for Pacific Bell rather than the City of El Segundo. He suggested exploring another option. Chairman Crowley reviewed the three findings that have to be met. Commissioner Kretzmer stated Condition #1 cannot be met because there isn't a zone to be complied with, and the proposal does not meet Condition #1 Vice -Chair Wycoff stated Condition #B cannot be met because there are no 028 4 other wireless facilities in the area, and putting one in would not be consistent with the current use of the area He further indicated that by putting this proposal in would create other facilities coming in up and down the street which would be a cumulative effect Chairman Crowley pointed out that•the only thing that makes this proposal a CUP item is that it is more than 18 Oches away from the pole, and this must be the focus on their decision Chairman Crowley stated there is not a problem with Condition #3 Commissioner Kretzmer disagreed with the last sentence under General Plan on Master Page 16 stating, "Staff believes that the project is in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, since the project as proposed visually enhances the surrounding environment." In summary, Chairman Crowley stated the Commission has concerns about the first two items required under the CUP, in which the proposal may set a precedent that will be detrimental to aesthetics and materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, if the proposal is appropriate in the zone because the zone does not have any guidance, particularly for a public right of way. Commissioner Kretzmer added that he does not find that the project is in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan Chairman Crowley moved to deny approval of Environmental Assessment EA- 491 and Conditional Use Permit CUP 99-9: New Utility- Mounted Wireless Communication Facility. Vice -Chair Wycoff seconded. Passed 4 -0. Commissioner Kretzmer indicated that procedurally, the Commission has denied the CUP and given, for the record, their reasons in support of the denial of the CUP, and it would be up to the applicant at this point to determine whether or not they want to make a re- application or petition to the City Council At this point, staff is not required to come back with any revised language for the CUP application or for the Resolution. Mr. Luebberke clarified that the Commission has put their findings on the record, and what is before them is a Resolution to approve. By voting yes to a motion to deny the Resolution as it exists is adequate. Interim Director Hansen stated the Tno- Manufacturing application will not be heard at the December 9, 1999 meeting. However, the General Plan consistency finding for the Capital Improvement Program will be scheduled for December 9, 1999. Commissioner Kretzmer stated he is pleased to see the decorations for the holidays in the City Commissioner Mahler stated there was a good discussion this evening on the EA-491 Item He appreciated all the points brought up and the decisions that were made Chairman Crowley agreed. REPORT FROM DIRECTOR COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS J2`.. Commissioner Kretzmer stated the Commissioners listened to and educated each other on decisions made He pointed out that the Commissioners do listen to the public and their comments. Vice -Chair Wycoff thanked Mr Jacobson for coming down with his input. There being no further discussion, Vice -Chair Wycoff moved to adjourn the ADJOURNMENT meeting at 7.15 PM to the regular meeting of December 9, 1999 at 6:00 PM.

PURPOSE. FINDINGS, AND ANALYSIS Pursuant to Section 20 62 100 (E) of the El Segundo Municipal Code (SSMC), a utility- mounted wireless communication facility which extends horizontally more than 18 inches requires approval of a CUP The proposed WCF would have 2 antenna arms which would extend horizontally about 10 feet (for each arm) The applicant is requesting approval for such a CUP Section 20 74 050 of the Zoning Code states that the purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be A To assure the compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be located, B To assure the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, and, C To recognize and compensate for potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards In accordance with Section 20 74 060 of the Zoning Code, the Planning Commission may grant a Conditional Use Permit if it determines that all of the following findings can be met (the findings appear in bold, with City Staff's analysis following) 1. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located; As stated previously, the protect site is the parkway (public right -of -way) at 505 East Imperial Avenue and is not located in any zone Pursuant to Chapter 20 62 (Wireless Communication Facilities) of the ESMC, a utility- mounted WCF is permissible if it does not protrude or extend horizontally more than 18 inches from the utility pole, if it does, approval of a CUP is required The applicant is seeking approval of a CUP since the utility- mounted WCF would extend horizontally about 10 feet Although the project site is not located within a specific zoning designation, the proposed location of the WCF is in accord with the provisions of the Zoning Code 2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, Operation of the proposed WCF will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or be matenaily injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity As stated previously, the 3 panel antennas and 2 antenna arms would be located approximately 26 feet high on the existing 60 -foot high utility pole and the 3 BTS equipment cabinets would be located in the parkway The utility- mounted WCF would be visually compatible with the surrounding area since it would be painted a neutral color and would be located along an existing utility corridor 0 3 3 which has many utility poles of similar height and size to the project utility pole and which are already part of the visual landscape Moreover, the BTS cabinets are not anticipated to interfere with vehicular or pedestrian - oriented traffic nor would they be located within the driveway visibility triangles of the nearby driveways To mitigate any potential visual impacts that the BTS cabinets would have on the surrounding area, the applicant will be required to screen the cabinets from view with landscaping Also, conditions incorporated in draft Resolution No 2458 will ensure that the project is developed in a safe manner 3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter. The proposed conditional use complies with the applicable provisions of Chapter 20 74 of the El Segundo Municipal Code since proper notice and hearing were provided, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and the required findings will be considered As described and analyzed above, staff believes that since the required three Conditional Use Permit Findings can be made, CUP 99 -9 should, be approved, with conditions The Planning Commission may consider and impose additional conditions through the Conditional Use Permit process, which it deems necessary, in order to meet the required Conditional Use Permit findings GENERAL PLAN The General Plan goals, policies and objectives which relate to this project are from the Land Use Element Specifically, Policy LU7 -1 7, which required the establishment of development standards for WCF in order to regulate their location and design, and, Policy LU7 -2 5, which states that all public facilities and utilities should be designed to enhance the appearance of the surrounding areas in which they are located Staff believes that the project is in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, since the project as proposed visually enhances the surrounding environment INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The draft Initial Study, architectural plans and project applications were circulated to all City Departments /Divisions for their review and comments All the City Departments /Divisions concurred with staffs determination to prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration and one verbal comment was received from the Public Works Department relating to the maintenance of the landscaping in the parkway In brief, Public Works wanted to know who would be maintaining the landscaping around the BTS cabinets The Planning Division's response was that the applicant will be required to maintain the landscaping around the BTS cabinets for the life of the project A condition has been included in draft Resolution No 2458 which states this requirement Additionally, the Planning Division asked Public Works if a franchise agreement between Pacific Bell Wireless and the City would be required for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way According to the Public Works Department, Pacific Bell Wireless is not required to sign a franchise agreement with the City for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because it is considered a public utility company which is exempt from signing such agreements as determined by the Public Utilities Commission. 034 4 1?

AESTHETICS. Would the project � a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista9 I j I I X The project would be located in the parkway of Imperial Avenue Nearby developments include an elementary school to the south east, a mortuary to the south west and multi - family residences further east and further west Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located about 400 feet north of the project site No impact to a scenic vista is anticipated since none exist in or around the project area b) Substantially damage scenic resources, Including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic X highway? The project would involve the installation of 3 panel antennas on an existing utility pole and the installation of 3 ground - mounted BTS cabinets in the parkway The construction of the 49 50 square foot concrete pad for the BTS cabinets will not involve the removal of any trees or rock outcroppings There are no historic buildings on or near the project site which would be affected by the proposal The project will have no impact on scenic resources since none exist on or near the project area c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site I I X and its surroundinas? The project would involve the installation of 3 panel antennas on an existing utility pole and the installation of 3 ground - mounted BTS cabinets in the parkway The 3 panel antennas would be attached to 2 antenna arms (approximately 10 feet long each) at a height of about 26 feet on an existing 60 -foot high utility pole The antennas and arms would be made of non - reflective plastic and colored sandstone The 3 BTS cabinets would range in height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet and would be located in the parkway, at ground -level It is not anticipated that the antennas and arms would have a detrimental effect on the visual character of the surrounding area since the utility pole is existing, the color would be neutral, and the height of the antennas would not exceed the height of the pole The BTS cabinets, on the other hand, would be located at ground -level and therefore, would be more visible to vehicular and pedestrian traffic In order to mitigate the possible visual impact the cabinets could create, the applicant will be required to landscape the area surrounding the cabinets with tall shrubs This landscaping shall be maintained throughout the life of the project d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely X affect day or nighttime views in the area The project will not generate light or induce glare since no new light sources are proposed The antennas and arms would be made of non - reflective plastic The BTS cabinets would be screened by tall shrubs No impacts to daytime or nighttime views are anticipated 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland Would the project? a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to X the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Aoencv to non - aoricultural use? The project site is a 49 50 square foot portion of a parkway in the public right -of -way and an existing utility pole, therefore, the site is not being utilized as farmland Moreover, no impact to farmland Is anticipated since no farmland exists in or around the project vicinity 0391 Issues and Supporting Information potemnnt' Less than Less Than 1 Nolmpact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Incorporated j b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act X contract? The project site is located In the public right -of -way along Imperial Avenue and is not zoned for agricultural use There is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo a c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- X agricultural use? The protect site is located in the public right -of -way along Imperial Avenue and is not zoned (nor used) for agricultural use Since no farmland exists in or around the protect vicinity, no impact to farmland is anticipated 3. AIR QUALITY- Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations Would the protect a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality X plan'2 The proposed utility- mounted wireless facility would be unmanned, except for occasional maintenance visits which would occur about 1 or 2 times per month Due to the nature of the protect as an unmanned wireless facility, it is not anticipated that the protect will conflict with or obstruct the Implementation of any air quality plans b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing X or protected air quality violation Development or operation of the protect will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing air quality violation due to the small scale and nature of the protect, as an unmanned wireless facility Occasional maintenance visits of 1 or 2 times per month would occur but due to the relatively infrequent maintenance schedule of the wireless facility, no significant impacts to air quality from vehicle emissions are anticipated c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including X releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? During project construction, negligible amounts of stationary and /or mobile source emissions could be generated by the project, however, due to the small scale of the protect (only 49 50 square feet for the concrete pad), as compared to SCAQMD's threshold of significance which begins at 1,102,520 square feet of gross floor area, these emissions are not anticipated to create a significant cumulative net increase in criteria pollutants for the region d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X Refer to discussion for Item 3c above e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X Refer to discussion for Item 3c above 04U 4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the project a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, X or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S Fish and Wildlife Service? The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole in the public right of way Development and operation of the project will have no impact on any animal species due to the small scale and nature of the project b) Have a substantially adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, X regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S Wildlife Service? The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole in the public right of way of a highly developed, urban area No impact is anticipated since it is not located on or near a riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited X to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc ) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole within an urban area and is not located on or near federally protected wetlands No impact is anticipated d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident migratory X wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole within an urban area Development or operation of the project will not interfere with the migratory movements of fish or wildlife species or impact any wildlife corridors since none exist within the project area No impact is anticipated e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological X resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? The City of EI Segundo has policies which protect the El Segundo Blue Butterfly The Blue Butterfly is specific to coastal sand dunes and requires specific vegetation to survive Development or operation of this project is not anticipated to impact the Blue Butterfly since the project site is a portion of a parkway (49 50 square feet) and an existing utility pole in the public right -of -way, which does not support the habitat requirements of the Blue Butterfly f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, -T Natural Conservation Community Plan, other approved local, regional, X or state habitat conservation plan?

The study recommends merging the existing 91 separate classifications into 77 There are 22 positions designated for a title change only, 12 were recommended to be split into or merged into different fob classifications and 14 positions were recommended for deletion With respect to compensation issues, the study recommended that the City implement the study by establishing salaries close to the ' mean" of the surveyed agencies NggotiaUons The two employee associations were included in the process from the outset The consultant met with representatives of the associations and management staff several times during the process, including meetings with their respective boards to present findings and recommendations During the process, staff concluded that due to "past practice" with respect to a previous classification and compensation study performed in 1990, and the desires expressed by the associations that the current study should be implemented on a "step -to- step" basis Simply stated, a "step -to- step" implementation means that employees will be moved into the new salary ranges created by the study at the same step that they now occupy in the current salary ranges (e g individuals at "E" step in the current range shall be moved to E step in the new range) After examining the organizational impact of implementing the study on a pure "step -to- step" basis, staff determined that the costs would exceed significantly the funds budgeted for employee salaries during the current fiscal year Accordingly staff worked extensively with the two bargaining with the goal of implementing the study close to the budgeted amount The associations responded by accepting a modified step -to -step implementation plan that limits the amount of salary increases recommended for several employee classifications Organizational Goals and Flscallssttes The fiscal impact of implementing the plan this fiscal year should not exceed $351,100 The amount currently budgeted for implementation of the study is $300,000 However, it should be noted that the proposed implementation of the study includes several management objectives, such as establishing the compensation for the Communications Dispatcher classifications approximately 5% above market and reorganizing the Fire Prevention and Safety Function of the Fire Department The percentage increase represented by implementation of the study as proposed is approximately 5 9% for the this fiscal year However, it is worthwhile to note that the City has just finished the second vea, of a three -year agreement with both the CEA and Supervisory/Professional association The first year cost -of- I , ing adjustment (COLA) specified in the agreements, effective July 1998, was 5% The 5 9% cost of implementing this vear s study would represent the second year cost and the third year COLA, effective July 1, 2000, will be 2% or CPI whichever is greater The three -year average for salary adjustments, including the implementation of the study, would be approximately 4 3 %, depending on CPI figures in June /July 2000 In adddion to meeting the City s goal of establishing Dispatcher salaries slightly above the market rate for recruiting purposes the Council should note that the study also incorporates several management goals pertaining to the Fire Prevention and Safety function of the Fire Department In an effort to maximize and broaden the responsibilities of the individuals currently responsible for providing those seances, the Fire Chief and the consultant developed one (1) additional supervisory position and a part-time Environmental Intern position to carry out the additional safety and educational services to be carried out by the Fire Department in the coming year It should be noted that the current organization chart for the Fire Prevention and Safety function calls for four (4) full -time employees reporting to a Battalion Chief The revised chart shows four (4) full -time employees and one (1) part-time intern (currently vacant) reporting to the Environmental Safety Manager The redistribution of responsibilities would be carried out by the following positions one (1) Environmental Safety Manager ( currently Environmental Safety Coordinator), two (2) Principal Fire Prevention Specialists (currently Fire Inspector II), one (1) Fire Prevention Specialist (a new position and currently vacant) and one (1) part-time Environmental Intern (a new position and currently vacant) It should also be noted that though no commitments were made by staff, the employee associations made it clear that they were bargaining with an eye toward negotiating for a 2 % @55 PERS Retirement Plan in the future The current AtOUs with the CEA and the Supervisory/Professional Employees include the provision that the City shall meet with their representatives during the coming year with the intent of discussing the 2 % @55 plan It would be fair to state that both bargaining units negotiated responsibly in an effort to establish groundwork in obtaining their larger goal of an enhanced retirement package Finally, the Council should be aware that the MOUs approved by the City Council in July 1998 required retroactive pay back to July 1 1999 for affected positions in the event that the preparation and approval of the Classification and Compensation Study extend beyond July 1, 1999 $87,800 will be required to meet the retroactive pay requirements and will be charged to the FY 1998 -99 Budget 1, -4 Im lementation Gwdehnes -City Employees Assoaation (CEAI • Implement
