SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Gant final a )proval to the protect, based on findings and subject to recommended e,rnditions andcode tegi ircunents. BACKGROUND: Data Summ-tw Address: 190 Santa Rosa Street Applicant/0 vner', Cingular Wireless Representati c Gordan Bell, Bell and Associates Zoning: PT Wi.tblk Facility) General Plat Park Environmen al Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER 11-02) Site Description Santa Rosa 'ark. is an approximate 8-acre City park established over 50 years ago, it i; bordered by Santa R. �s« Street to 'the west, Oak Street to the south, and by residences fronting Murray Sheet and 11 [let,[ Streets to the north and east. The park is developed with two softball fields, a skate park, oll._r rink, horseshoe pits, children's playground, and open park area along with a parking lot. ProjectDer!crlption Cingulat V irr_less proposes to install two wireless telecommunication facilities which would double as I ghtpole, for tile: purpose of improving lighting at the northerly softball field. It is anticipated. that a second carrier would be accommodated in one of the 'two 75-toot tall lightpolcs. '11,✓o accesx>rNi structures would also be constructed between the roller rink/skate park area : nk', existing parking lot for the purposes of housing their associated equipment and providing tonage for City recreational activities. The parking lot adjacent to the ball fields would be i;iodified and improved to create a regulation-,ize softball field and a more useable parking art mgement. Improved lighting for the skate park and roller rink are also proposed. 311 j ARC 11-02 (11 )0 Santa.

The height of the wireless f'aCthty 1S Landscaping: As part of the ball field improvement, the applicant will be removing asphalt and replacing it w th turf. Relocation of the perimeterball field fence will also occur. Parking: Af hnu.gh the parking arrangement is being modified with the improvement to the adult softball field, the overall parking count will not change. Some minor modifications need to be made t( the site plan with regard to the proposed parking revisions. Specifically, the 3 tandem space, in the driveway .isle cannot be permitted as that would require removal of some substantial ter es. Staff believes that those 3 spaces can be made up with restriping of the main parking lot. Thee applicant will be resealing and restriping the main parking lot and the lott by the ball fields as 'part of this project. Design Lights: I,vi i li.ghtpole options have been provided as seen in the elevations and photo simulations, (though .4 are possible Optic i A (photosim provideuq- Lights on top at 75 feet, exposed antennas below lights. optic. i 13 (photosim (provided): Antennas on top and enclosed, lights below at 60 feet. Optic n C ((.levation only): Lights on top at 75 feet, antennas enclosed below. Optic it t )i (elevation only): Exposed antennas on top, lights below at 60 feat. Staff has co kerns with the lightpole width. Antennas which are encased within the lightpole result in wic _-r holes. Staff supports Option A because the pole would be narrower than other option., and apued, the exposed antermas do not appear aesthetically unpleasuig, and the taller lightpole iw th lights on top) creates a better lighting situation for the ball field ,�,nd surrounding neighborhoe 1 Less glare results with the taller lights. Lighting im movement proposed for the skate park and roller rink will result in a. maximum lighting -.vt I of 30 foot candles on the skating surfaces. Currently, the skate park has no night time lighim. and, the rollei rink receives about 2 foot candles of illurnin.ation making the rink virtually .im sahle at night. Buildings: 'hc proposed equipmentlrecreational storage buildings would be approximately 500 square feet ( ach and of the same design and building materials as the restroom building adjacent to the adult col thall field. Mechanical equipment is shown on the ground on the north side of the northcrly bt riding. Thin: equipment must be screened to the satisfaction of the ARC of contained within the 1, gilding. ARC 11-02 (11 l0 Santa. Ros- I,treet) Page 3- September 3, 2002 EVALUATION The City rec mly adopted an ordinance regulating "wireless telecommunicatiion facilities" (Section 1'-..It .I :'.0), which cites several site development, and performance standards as listed below (in itah s' 'Whether the project complies with the standards is also indicated. • Sei aacks:.All jOci/ity tower. and accessory structures shall comply with thesetback vet uventents of the applicable zoning district. The antennas and accessory -op ipment comply with the setback requirements of the PF zone district. He ghc The antenna height shall be determined as part of the use permit as stipulated in SLO%4C §17.16.120.1'.2. The maximum height of PF zone district is �; feet and the lightpoles/antennas would have a height of 75 feet, The proposed height of the antennas can be considered consistent with the zone if it is dictermined appropriate by the ARC relative to scale and design. All far ilities .shall be designed to the minimum necessary junctional h-fight. Thcapplicant has indicated that this is the lowest height possible ainsiderinpr, 'lighting must be incorporated with the design. • Si,,; -.,cress: T'eiccommunication facilities should use existing roads ano parking wl en possible Access to the facilities would be via existing paved streets, dr vc. ways, and parking lot. The applicant will be redesigning the ball field parking loi and resealing: and restriping both parking lots in the park as part of the project. At sthctics and Visibility: Facilitics shall be creatively designed to minimize the vi: ua inipact to the greatest extent possible by means of placement, screening and ca m't+f age. The applicant shall use the smallest and least visible antennas possible to u, ouiplish the coverage objectives. Each installation shall the designed to blend in ) its surroundings so that the antenna(s) and equipment are not apparent to the ca,u'll observ( r. Building -mounted facilities shall appear as an integral part of the V) a(lane. Fquiprnent and antennas shall be compatible and in scale with existing eu Wleetural elements, building materials and site characteristics. - The applicant proposes to "screen" the antennas by making there look like and function as hull field lights. While taller than the existing field lights, the proposed height is not uncommon for ball field lighting. Option A which would allow the antennas to be mounted externally below the lights do not seen) to be vial obvious and result in a lesser width pole. Pole width seenis to be a more significant factor in the lightpole appearance than the exterior antenna mount. The casual observer is not likely to notice the external antennas. - The proposed storage buildings would completely hide the accessory equipment onid provide needed permanent storage for the City's recreational ,iictivities at the 1,ark:. • A l t onnectums and conduits between the base of the antennas and support eruiwnent shall he under -grounded.

Smith, Planner Codron stated there: would be no increase in he height of the building, noting there would be no line -of -sight to the antennas Lin ess you were above it. Trisha Knigf t, applxcant's representative, passed around a sample of the material that will be used for the extension of the parapet wall. It is called "Radio Frequency friendly material" am I is used to simulate the material that is currently on the building, using the same color k aint. Commr. Bo idreau asked what the rate of transmission loss is through this material as compareo tc transmission through air. He asked where the waves go chat can't get through the naterial -- do they bounce and go elsewhere? In response to thie question, Mir. Knight noted that the antennas are directional and that there is ver\ little bounce -back. They are trying to install more smaller facilities using existing built ings rather than fewer larger facilities.

ARC Minutes October 7, 20C Page 4 Associate 1=lanner Michael Codron presented the staff report, recommending final approval to the project, based on findings and subject to conditions and code requirement s, which he outlined. Vice -Chair chuliz asked if there is currently lighting at the location. Planner Coc rort stated that there is. The current lighting has more horizontal spill and the light so -rues are more visible than the new ones would be. The current lights have an impact c i tie neighborhood, but the new lights can be properly shielded. Vice -Chair :- chultz ask ed about the size and location of the equipment storage buildings at the park. Planner Co( rc i noted there is a storage container that is being removed. Commr. Ho vard asked if the height of the light sources will be higher in option A, and asked how c /ould the intrusion of light would affect the neighborhood. Planner Corson responded that the greater iheight allows the light to focus more directly down to a s )ecific area and gives more opportunity, to shield the actual light source. He added that: condition is proposed to address the light and shielding issue Cornmr. Sm th asked if the trees are to screen or to decorate. Planner Co iron responded that the trees are to enhance, as opposed to screen. He noted the pi rkung lot is being reduced in size so there will be more room for trees Gordon Bell applicants representative, explained that the existing parking lot will be re - striped so t tat no parking spaces will be lost, and additional grass area near the ball field will be added. The applicant Is proposing to acid more parking towarcls Santa Rosa Street Mr. Bell exk lamed that these improvements are part of a Capital Improvement Program that the Pa ks Department has wanted to accomplish but hasn't had the funding for. This is also a rent abatement program where the applicant will not start paying rent until the improve rent costs are abated. Commr. Sn ith asked if vines could be grown up these poles to help with camouflage. Planner Co iron stated he's never seen it done. Commr. Bo idreau stated the vines would eventually become a maintenance problem. The applicE nt responded that the vines would be a problem when climbing the poles for maintenance reasons. He noted the size of the proposed poles is 24 inches, tapering down to 21 inches in diameter; the existing poles are 18 inches, tapering down to 14 inches. ARC Minutes October 7, 200 Page 5 i.Ammr. Bou ireau asked for an explanation regarding the location of the tnansrnitters on the poles wh ch dictates the diameter of the poles. Mr. Bell expl tined that in C)ptioin B, the diameter of the pole is 36 inches to enclose the equipment it temally. A snnaller diameter pole could be used, but cabling would have to be moved tc the outside of the pole. He also noted they had met with the Parks and Public WorN s Departments to review the project. They discussed walkways and landscaping. Two equiprn(-,:nt enclosures will be added to house the Parks Department equipment, E lirninating the cargo storage container. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mary Beth f chroeder, 2085 Wilding Lane, felt this would ruin the intent of Santa Rosa Park and an / others that are used in the sarne manner. She opposed the project She expressed that it Is possible that the RFs are carcinogenic and should be booked into. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commr. Hooa d asked the, applicant to address the issue of health. The applica it stated that RF waves are obviously propagated by the systems. The harmful radi) waves are 1-2 feet in front of the antenna. These poles, being 70 feet above grour d. emit only 0.020% of allowable; RF waves as set by FCC for the general population. Commr. Roc t asked about the proposed color for the poles. Mr. Bell repl ed it is currently galvanized steel, similar to the existing poles Commr. Hoy yard stated she favors Option A Commr. Ro, )t noted his support for Option A and the galvanized color, and indicated this is a win -win situation, because our park needs these upgrades. Commr. He ward moved _ to oc rant final approval, based on findings, and subiect to conditions, _mitigation measures and code requirements listed in the staff -report, with a modification to Finding #2 to delete text to end with the word camoufla eg d and add conditions C and 1, as follows: 6. Improvement plans shall include dg,tailed lighting specificatior s for the .new light poles. These fixtures may need to be shielded to minimize sr ill and glare while at the same time achieving the lighting needs of the ball field. A notE shall be included on the improvement ,plans that "After installation, the new ball field lic,hts_ma_y need to be modified or shielded if the Community Development Director determines that then Emit excessive glare." 7. Trees shall be added between Santa Rose Street and the main parking lot adjacent to the parking lot closest to the ball fields wheLLLp_ossible_,_and behind the new antenna/light pole closest to the skate park.

SUMMARY RE('OMMENDATION: Grant final a )proval to the project, based on findings and subject to recommended conditions and code regt irements. BACKGROIN D: Previous"L%"d Mtiun This item wr; originally considered at the ARC's September 3, 2002 meeting, at which time the ARC' requested completion of the lighting analysis prior to taking action on the project. Attached to thrs report is the ARC Meeting Update from the September 3`d meeting, which summarizes he ARC's consensus to date. Attached is t re original staff report for Commission review of the project. EVAL,UAT ON: Property ;DA :vclnpmeat-Siandartl+ LiKhts: Ih, light pole option identified as being preferred by the ARC at the September P meeting wa used in the lighting analysis, attached hereto. The selected light was Option A, which is a 7 �-loot tall pole with lights on top and exposed antennas below the lights. Lighting irr provements proposed for the skate; park and roller rink will result in a maximum lighting lev l .,f 30 fool -candles on the skating surfaces. Currently, the skate park has no night time lighting and the roller rink receives about 2 foot candles of illumination making the rink virlually on tsable at night. All of the new lights were incorporated into the lighting analysis (2 pages attached to this report), as well as, hose existing lights intended to remain. The studies were taken along the north and east property lanes, as well as 1.50 feet from the west and south edges of the fields being lighted. They DO ''dOT take into ,recount any screening provided by plant material (i.e. trees) on -site or 3h ARC 11-02 (1. )0 Santa Ros« Street) Page 3 October 7, 2002 camou laged, as the; casual observer would not usually suspect a lightpole be .a cell tower. 3. Althou,h the proposed project could have a significant effect on the; environment, there will nit he a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made t r mitigation measures added and agreed to by the project proponent. Mitigation Measures Screen outdoor mechanical equipment from on -site and off -site views to the satisfaction of the Arlhiitectural Review Commission. 2. Elie ne w ball field lights shall be directed downward as indicated in the project plans to minim.ze Night and glare into the adjacent neighborhood.
