CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2011-00612 - CORE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES for METRO PCS -A request
to co-locate a Major Wireless Facility consisting of a set of antenna panels, a microwave dish, and a 12-foot by 18-foot
equipment enclosure to an existing Major Wireless Communications facility mounted on a 78.5-foot high baseball field
light pole in the Open Space (OS) District, generally located at the southeast corner of Heritage Park -
APN: 1061-641-07. Related files: Minor Development Reviews DRC2002-00262 and DRC2004-00325, and
Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01142.
Design Parameters: The subject property is the 40-acre Heritage Park located at the southwest corner
of the intersection of Hillside Road and Beryl Avenue. The overall dimensions of the park are
approximately 1,300 feet (north to south) by approximately 1,300 feet (east to west). The park is
bisected diagonally from the northeast corner to near the southwest corner by Demens Creek Channel.
The property is developed with park and recreational facilities owned and operated by the City. The
improvements include several baseball and softball fields, equestrian facilities, multi-purpose trails with
exercise stations, picnic areas, playgrounds, and large open lawn areas. Throughout the park there are
numerous trees. Field lights are arranged around the baseball and softball fields. Situated generally at
the southeast corner of the site is a set of wireless communication facilities operated by two carriers.
Each facility is comprised of one (1) set of antennas, mounted on two separate baseball field light poles
of approximately 80 feet in height and associated equipment shelters (Related files: Minor Development
Reviews DRC2002-00262 and DRC2004-00325 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01142). The
light poles on which the existing wireless facilities are mounted are located approximately 160 feet from
each other. One of the poles is approximately 400 feet west of Beryl Avenue, while the other is
approximately 300 feet west of Beryl Avenue. The specific location of the proposed wireless facility is
the pole located closest to Beryl Avenue. This pole is approximately 350 feet from the nearest residence
located at 9058 Mustang Road. The park is mostly surrounded by single-family residential development;
near the southeast corner of the park across Beryl Avenue is Grace Brethren Church of Alta Loma. The
zoning of the property is mostly Open Space (OS) District with the exception of the channel which is
zoned Flood Control (FC) District. The zoning of the surrounding properties is Very Low (VL) Residential
District.
The applicant, Core Development Services on behalf of Metro PCS, proposes to install a set of antennas
and microwave dish on the aforementioned baseball field light. This equipment will be mounted directly
below a set of antennas that were approved with Minor Development Review DRC2002-00262 and in the
same position as the set of antennas that were approved, but never installed, with Conditional Use
Permit DRC2004-01142. In addition to the set of antennas and microwave dish, a new equipment
enclosure of 216 square feet will be constructed approximately 65 feet to the southeast near the location
of two (2) existing enclosures that are utilized by the other carriers. The antennas will be mounted close
to the pole, i.e. each antenna panel will be attached generally flush with the surface of the pole. This will
minimize the visibility of the installation. The light pole itself will not increase in height and the lamps at
the top of the pole will not be altered. Any changes to the pole, if necessary, will be limited to structural
enhancements to allow for the addition of the antennas and microwave dish. The antenna panels and
microwave dish will be painted to match the pole and the antennas of the existing antennas above it.
Altogether, because of the proposed facility's minimal visibility, its location relative to the nearby
residences, and the utilization of an existing wireless facility site, this facility will fulfill the design and site
selection criteria established in Section 17.26.030 of the Development Code and will be consistent with
other wireless facilities that have been recently approved within the park. Furthermore, the equipment
enclosure will be constructed to match the existing equipment enclosures.
