8. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (next Resolution No. PC-2014-594)
A. Consider Resolution Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-04 to
Re-Permit The Use of a Wireless Telecommunication Facility on an
Existing Legal Non-Conforming 60-Foot Tall Monopole with Existing
Above Ground Mechanical Equipment Storage at the Ventura County
Waterworks District No. 1, Moorpark College Water Reservoir No. 2
Property, at 15698 Campus Park Drive, and Making Determination of
Exemption under CEQA in Connection Therewith, on the Application of
Sean Scully for T-Mobile West Tower, LLC. Staff Recommendation: 1)
Open the public hearing, accept public testimony and close the public
hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. PC-2014-594 conditionally
approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-04. (Staff: Freddy Carrillo)
Mr. Carrillo gave the staff report.
A discussion followed among the Commissioners and staff regarding if
there were any new Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
regulations regarding wireless communication facilities that would apply;
the facility being an existing facility and a non-conforming structure as the
height limit is now determined by the zone; the Conditional Use Permit
being valid as long as the facility is operational; and as an existing facility
qualifying for a categorical exemption under CEQA.
Chair Groff opened the Public Hearing.
Sean Scully, representing applicant Crown Castle, stated there had been
two decisions made by the FCC the first being how long a local jurisdiction
has to act on a particular type of wireless application, and with the passing
of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act, a FCC section dealing with local
jurisdiction approval pertaining to co-locations. He also requested
condition number four be removed from the Standard and Special
Conditions of Approval.
A discussion followed among the Commissioners and applicant about the
net difference between a tower height of 35 feet and 75 feet and how the
network is based on the overlap of the radio frequency between locations
and if the height of this facility was reduced, additional facilities would be
needed.
A discussion followed among the Commissioners and staff regarding
condition number four, the previous application language, and the City's
code on co-location regulation. Mr. Scully stated the applicant would
support the proposed language, which read "The applicant shall allow the
City to mount one antenna on the steel antenna support pole."
