5. PUBLIC COMMENT:
Prior receiving public comment, Mr. Brown provided City Council with a brief
remark concerning an AT&T wireless communication facility sited near Flory
Elementary School and, upon becoming aware of concerns with the location of
this facility, has been working with AT&T to find an alternate site.
Ann Maries, Moorpark resident, expressed concerns regarding two 4G towers
placed on Edison poles adjacent to houses at Brookhurst Court and Tierra
Rejada Road with a home located as close as 51 feet away, and potential
negative health effects related to radiation exposure. She cited public remarks
by experts on safe placement distances, noted Fire Stations are exempt from the
placement of 4G towers on facilities, and stated 5G facilities pose a greater
health risk due to higher radiation levels than existing technologies. Further
impartial studies on health impacts are being demanded by the public. She
urged the City to join in a lawsuit against the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) on recently adopted 5G regulations or file an amicus brief,
and review the recent City of Danville City Council decision to deny a Verizon
land use permit request. She asked to have their request be heard to move the
current 4G tower moved to a safer zone, away from homes, schools and
businesses; and keep 5G out of Moorpark.
Jim Friery, Moorpark resident, performed an original song he wrote about
Moorpark.
Paige Neilson, expressed concerns about 4G and 5G small cell sites that will be
widely installed across the City and the significant negative health effects found
in a government study on radiation, and stated there are no regulations regarding
the concentration and placement of poles near residential uses or public righ ts-
of-way. She noted a local advisory group of experts familiar with health and
biological impacts of wireless facilities are seeking to educate elected officials
and legislators.
Billy Dickson, owner of Just Shoot Me Photography, spoke to relay issues
regarding a zoning and code compliance dispute associated with his business on
High Street resulting in negative impacts to his business because of Moorpark’s
zoning compliance tracking and reporting problems, a process which was the
subject of a 2014 Ventura County Grand Jury report. He commented on judicial
action related to this problem, and requested the Council place an item on its
39
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 3 July 17, 2019
August 7, 2019, agenda for discussion of zoning compliance tracking and
reporting problems.
Rachel Schiefer, Moorpark resident, stated she resides adjacent to a Southern
California Edison easement, reported a 4G cell tower has been placed 51 feet
from her residence, and asked if this can be changed. She conveyed concerns
about potential health risks and remarked on family health issues.
Audrey Bruckner, spoke to express significant concerns about the potential
health risks of placing numerous 5G cell towers in locations all across the City
because of lack of study performed by impartial sources evidencing their safety.
She suggested Councilmembers review the results of a variety of credible
sources on the potential risks and reconsider the City’s regulatory alternatives.
Anita Garatie, spoke to relay experiences related to electromagnetic frequency
(EMF) sensitivity and personal health aliments that may be attributed to it, and to
express concerns regarding the deployment of higher frequency 5G technology.
She urged the City Council to find regulations that address community health
concerns.
Mandy Jacob, stated that regardless of health concerns, the City needs to
adhere to FCC Regulation 18-133, however, there are a number of possible
amendments to the City’s ordinance that would maintain local control such as
requirements for annual recertification of small wireless facilities, re-insurance
requirements, and setbacks. She commented there are attorneys available to
cities free of charge to provide language that can be incorporated to local
ordinances.
Mr. Brown stated the topic is not agendized and therefore Council discussion is
limited by the Brown Act, and it is not permitted to take action on the subject
tonight. He provided an overview of the recent legislation and small cell site
regulatory environment including the veto of Senate Bill 649, in part due to City
written opposition, which attempted to limit local control of wireless land use
permitting. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) subsequently
adopted regulations eliminating local control over small cell sites notwithstanding
outreach to Congresswoman Brownley to express the City’s concerns over the
legislation. The City then supported the League of California Cities efforts to
support House of Representatives Bill H.R. 530, and Senate Bill S.2012, both of
which attempt to overturn FCC regulations and restore local control. Further,
Mr. Brown stated the City is monitoring lawsuits across the country and would not
recommend a change to the City Ordinance at this time due to potential exposure
to litigation, noting the City is required to comply with current Federal law.
Mr. Brown requested City Attorney Ennis provide additional details on the
regulatory framework.

Mr. Ennis spoke with regard to the legal issues raised, stating Federal laws and
regulation of wireless facilities are an evolving area resulting in less local
government discretion and control. The September 2018 FCC Report and Order
imposes significant limitations on cities. In response to that Order, the City
adopted a policy in April 2019 to establish locational preferences including
disfavoring locations within less than 250 feet from residential zones and
requiring applicants demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that it is
technically infeasible to abide by those preferences. The intent of the City Policy
is to remain within the constraints of the FCC Order while maintaining the
greatest degree of local control possible.
The City has looked at the proposal put forth during recent discussions with
concerned citizens advocating for a strict 1,500 foot buffer and have found the
proposal would not be defensible for Moorpark. The proposal would effectively
exclude small wireless facilities in all but a few isolated parts of the City, and
therefore would violate both the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 and
the 2018 FCC Report and Order by imposing a de facto ban on such facilities.
The City may only impose reasonable aesthetic regulations when establishing a
buffer and a 1,500 foot separation would not be supportable as an aesthetic
regulation. The citizen-suggested buffer is also intended to address the potential
health impacts from exposure to radio frequency emissions; however, to the
extent that wireless facilities comply with the Federal standard for radio
frequency emissions, cities are prohibited from imposing any regulations on the
basis of the potential health impacts. For these reasons, it would not be legally
permissible to establish a 1,500 foot buffer requirement in Moorpark; the current
buffer requirement and locational preference standards in the City’s Policy
represent the full extent of control available to the City.
Mayor Parvin stated she has a copy of the letter sent by the City to Senator
Diane Feinstein in support of Senate Bill S.2012 (Restoring Local Control Over
Public Infrastructure Act of 2019) and encouraged all interested parties to review
the Bill.
