RESIDENCE, LOCATED AT 26708 INDIAN PEAK ROAD, IN THE GRANDVIEW
COMMUNITY.
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2001, the applicant/appellant, Mr. James A. Kay, Jr., submitted
applications for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 and Environmental Assessment No. 744 for after -
the -fact approval to establish the then - existing 5- masted, roof - mounted antennae and related
support structures and equipment on the site for commercial use; and,
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2001, the applications for Conditional Use Permit No. 230
and Environmental Assessment No. 744 were deemed complete by Staff; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. ( "CEQA "), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government
Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), Staff found no evidence
that Conditional Use Permit No. 230 and Environmental Assessment No. 744 would have a
significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project was determined by Staff to
be categorically exempt (Class 1, Section 15301); and,
WHEREAS, after the submittal of these applications on June 21, 2001, and while the
Planning Commission was conducting the public hearings on this application, the applicant installed

denying the appeal, modifying certain conditions of approval and conditionally approving the project;
and,
WHEREAS, on May 15, 2002, Mr. Kay filed suit against the City in Federal District Court in
order to overturn the City's decision on the grounds, among other things, that it violated the
Telecommunications Act of 1996; and,
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2004, the United States District Court for the Central District of
California ruled in the case of Kay v. Rancho Palos Verdes and ordered the "City Council of the City
of Rancho Palos Verdes to issue a new resolution allowing James A. Kay, Jr. to use his five mast
antenna structure for commercial purposes, subject to reasonable conditions "; and,
WHEREAS, the City revised the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 to
allow the commercial use of Mr. Kay's 5- masted, roof - mounted antenna array, which array existed at
the time and was depicted on plans provided to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes with the original
submittal of the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 on June 21, 2001; and,
WHEREAS, this matter was agendized for the City Council's review and consideration on
October 5, 2004, and November 16, 2004, but on both occasions the matter was continued to a
subsequent City Council meeting at Mr. Kay's request in order to allow his legal counsel to discuss
additional proposed revisions to the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 with
the City Attorney; and,
WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Development Code, the City Council held a duly- noticed public hearing on October 5, 20049
November 16, 2004, and December 21, 2004, to reconsider Conditional Use Permit No. 230, at
which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council hereby makes the following findings of fact with respect to
the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 to legalize the use of existing roof - mounted and
interior antennae and related support structures and equipment on the site for commercial purposes:
A. For the purposes of this determination on the subject application and throughout this
Resolution, the terms and phrases "existing antenna(e)" and "existing roof - mounted antenna
array" refer onl - to the antenna(e) and antenna array depicted in the plans submitted to the
City by the applicant on June 21, 2001, and in photographs accompanying the application for
Conditional Use Permit No. 230 and Environmental Assessment No. 744. The terms and
phrases "existing antenna(e)" and "existing roof - mounted antenna array" do not include any
parts, elements, components or other features of the antenna(e) and antenna array that are
not depicted on the plan submitted on June 21, 2001, or in the above - mentioned
photographs, regardless whether these parts, elements, components or other features were,
or are, physically present on the subject property as of the effective date of this Resolution.
B. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and for all of the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features required by the Development
Code or by conditions imposed to integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within
the neighborhood because, as conditioned, the proposed project complies with the
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Page 2 of 7
development standards for commercial antennae, as specified in RPVDC Sections
17.76.020(A)(2) through (A)(10). The site provides for at least two (2) off - street parking
spaces for maintenance and service vehicles and the existing roof - mounted antenna support
structure and array does not require special markings or lighting to comply with Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. Although there is existing foliage on adjacent
properties and rights -of -way, this foliage does not adequately screen any antenna support
structures or antennae on the roof of the structure from view from many surrounding
residences in the neighborhood and from nearby public rights -of -way, especially those
residences located directly across the street and the residences located downslope from the
rear yard on Fond du Lac Road. As such, the approval of this application is conditioned to
require the removal of all but five (5) of the existing eight- and - one - half -foot long masts and
two of the television antennae from the roof of the residence. With the removal of all but the
five (5) vertical antenna masts that existed on June 1, 2001 and were depicted on the project
plans submitted to the City on June 21, 2001, the aesthetic impacts of the antenna arraywill
be no different or more significant with its conversion to commercial use than they were for
amateur use only. This condition is necessary to maintain the appearance of the structure
as a single - family residence, and to integrate the commercial use into the residential
neighborhood. In this case, the imposition of stricter limitations upon both commercial and
non - commercial antennae than are otherwise required by the City's Development Code is
necessary to protect the aesthetics of the neighborhood while still allowing reasonable use
of the site to transmit on both amateur and commercial frequencies, because the applicant's
representatives have testified that the antennae at the site can be "diplexed" so that each
antenna can be used to transmit on two different frequencies at the same time. By
comparison, allowing the applicant to use all of the antennae that were placed on the
property in 2001 while this application was pending before the Planning Commission will
dramatically alter the residential character of the home and create the appearance of a
commercial antenna farm, which will adversely affect the surrounding residential
neighborhood.
C. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient to carry the type and
quantity of traffic generated by the subject use because the subject property is served by
Indian Peak Road, which is a public residential street. Aside from normal residential traffic
associated with the existing house, the only additional traffic expected to result from the
proposed project is an occasional service vehicle, and would rarely involve large trucks or
other equipment that could adversely affect local traffic for any extended period of time. Any
adverse effects of any additional traffic are mitigated by the conditions of approval imposed
by this approval.
D. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no significant adverse
effects on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof, due to the conditions that are
being imposed as part of this approval. Although service personnel would visit the site
periodically, any impacts related to the maintenance and operation of the existing antennae
would be very minor and have no significant adverse effects on surrounding properties. The
existing antennae are visible from homes across Indian Peak Road and from Fond du Lac
Road below. With the removal of all but the five (5) vertical antenna masts that existed on
June 1, 2001 and were depicted on the project plans submitted to the City on June 21, 2001,
the aesthetic impacts of the antenna array will be no different or more significant with its
conversion to commercial use than they were for amateur use only. However, the approval
of this proposal will be conditioned to require maintenance of the roof - mounted antennae
and support structures that are permitted by this conditional use permit in a neutral color so
as to blend better into the background sky and the gray color of the existing antenna support
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Page 3of7
structure. In addition, no future changes to the location or configuration or which increase
the number or the height of any approved antennae or element of the remaining roof -
mounted antenna array will be permitted without an amendment to this conditional use
permit that is approved by the City Council, in order to prevent further visual intrusion upon
the surrounding neighborhood.
E. Any issues related to interference impacts upon electronic and other types of equipment,
and actual or perceived effects upon human health, are strictly within the purview of the
FCC, since Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the City from "[regulating] the
placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis
of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities
comply with the [FCC's] regulations concerning such emissions."
F. The proposed five -mast antenna structure is contrary to the General Plan, but is being
approved by the City Council, due to the order of the United States District Court that was
issued on July 14, 2004. The subject property and the Grandview neighborhood are
designated Residential, 4 -6 DU /acre, which is a land use designation intended to
accommodate medium - density neighborhoods of detached, single - family homes and related
accessory uses and structures. No evidence has been provided that the owner has ever
resided at the existing home, and this property has not been occupied for at least the past
six years. The evidence demonstrated that, in the past, the property had not been
maintained in a manner consistent with the quality of the surrounding neighborhood prior °to
the initial hearings before the Planning Commission in 2001, and the residential character of
the neighborhood was eroded by the increasing deterioration and commercialization of this
site. To prevent the proposed commercial use of the property from exacerbating the
substandard condition of the residence, the approval of the proposed project includes
conditions to address these past deficiencies. The conditions include: 1) requiring
landscape and maintenance services in the event that the home not properly maintained in
conformance with the conditions; 2) requiring the removal of all but five (5) of the existing
vertical antenna masts, which are the most visible exterior evidence of the commercial use
of the property; and 3) requiring the house to be occupied and maintained in an appropriate
manner. These conditions will allow for the provision of wireless telecommunications
services at this location, while minimizing the visual and aesthetic impacts of this commercial
wireless operation on the surrounding residential neighborhood.
G. The required finding that, if the site of the proposed use is within any of the overlay control
districts established by RPVDC Chapter 17.40 (Overlay Control Districts), the proposed use
complies with all applicable requirements of that chapter, is not applicable because the
subject property is not located within any of the overlay control districts established by
RPVDC Chapter 17.40.
H. Conditions of approval, which the City Council finds to be necessary to protect the health,
safety and general welfare, have been imposed and include (but are not limited to) removal
of all but five (5) of the existing eight and one -half feet -long roof - mounted antenna masts
and two of the television antenna(e), and prohibiting any further modifications to them
without first obtaining approval of modification to this conditional use permit; limiting regular
maintenance hours to 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday; requiring the property to
be landscaped and painted and that weekly landscape and general maintenance services
shall be provided by contract with a qualified provider of such services if the residence is not
properly maintained in accordance with the conditions; requiring the house to be occupied;
requiring the applicant to obtain and maintain a valid business license; and reviewing the
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Page 4 of 7
project for compliance with all conditions of approval within one hundred twenty (120) days
of the date of the City's final action on the application. These conditions are imposed through
the City's authority over placement, construction and modification of personal wireless
service facilities, as expressly reserved to local government under the Telecommunications
Act of 1996.
The required findings that no existing or planned tower can accommodate the applicant's
proposed antenna or proposed service area, or that the proposed tower cannot be located
on the site of an existing or planned tower, are not applicable because the proposed project
does not involve the construction or placement of a new antenna tower, and there is no
antenna tower currently located on the subject property.
Section 2: The City Council finds that the proposed project as conditioned — qualifies
for a Class 1 categorical exemption from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under Section 15301. The exemption applies to alterations to existing minor structures and
uses "involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead
agency's determination." As conditioned, the existing roof - mounted antenna support structure and
array would be modified so that most of the antennae are removed or relocated to the inside of the
house, and the negative aesthetic impacts of the existing antennae are minimized. In addition, the
property will be required to be occupied and maintained in an appropriate manner that is consistent
with City standards. Without the imposition of these conditions, and if the antennae and other
elements that have been added to the property since the submittal of the application to the City were
to remain in place, the City Council would not be able to find this proposed project exempt from the
requirements of CEQA, due to aesthetic impacts which could be potentially significant and thus
would require further analysis pursuant to the requirements of CEQA.
Section 3: The City Council finds that the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 230 —
as conditioned —is consistent with the City's Wireless Communications Antenna Development
Guidelines. This application was heard by the Planning Commission within the time lines
established by the State's Permit Streamlining Act and CEQA (Guideline No. 1). Although the
Guidelines express a preference for existing, non - single - family structures as antenna sites
(Guideline No. 2), installations on single - family residences are not prohibited and have been
approved previously elsewhere in the City. In addition, the conditions of approval for this project will
help to enhance the residential character of the neighborhood by requiring the applicant to upgrade
the appearance and maintenance of the property. As a condition of approval, most of the exterior
antennae will be removed, so the project will have no significant impact upon any view corridors
(Guideline No. 4). The removal of these antennae will also serve to balance the aesthetic impacts
of the antennae upon the neighborhood with the applicant's financial benefit from the operation of
the commercial antennae on the site (Guideline No. 5). Finally, with most of the antennae removed
from the roof of the house, they will be more effectively screened from view from adjacent properties
or rights -of -way (Guideline No. 9).
Section 4: The City Council finds that the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 230 —
as conditioned is consistent with the order of the United States District Court for the following
reasons:
A. The conditional approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 230 "[does] not unreasonably
discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services... and [does] not prohibitor
have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services" (47 U.S.C.
332(c)(7), subsections (13)(i)(1) and (II)). In reviewing all of the applications to provide
personal wireless services on other residentially -zoned property within the City, the City has
applied consistently its regulations to these facilities so as to approve facilities that are
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Page 5of7
compatible with surrounding uses and to modify or deny applications that do or will have
adverse visual, aesthetic or other impacts upon surrounding properties. The instant
application is being approved with conditions requiring the removal of most of the exterior
antennae because it will otherwise result in adverse visual and aesthetic impacts upon
adjacent properties. The City's conditional approval of this specific proposal does not
prohibit the applicant from providing wireless communications services because the
applicant still has the ability to provide these services from the remaining exterior antennae.
The applicant's representative has stated at a public hearing that the applicant has the
capability to "diplex" the antennae in order to utilize more frequencies. The applicant has
also admitted that he has transmitted commercially from the site since 1998, allegedly from
antennae located inside the residence. The City has previously approved applications for
commercial antennae for a variety of commercial wireless services and service providers,
including applications for properties that were zoned or used for single - family residential
purposes. Accordingly, the conditional approval of this particular application also does not
result in a ban or prohibition of, or have the effect of prohibiting, the placement of these
types of facilities within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.
B. The application for Conditional Use Permit No. 230 was deemed complete by City Staff on
September 19, 2001. The City has acted on the applicant's request for Conditional Use
Permit No. 230 "within a reasonable period of time after the request [was] duly filed with [the
City], taking into account the nature and scope of such request" (47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7),
subsection (13)(ii)). This application has been processed by the City in a timely fashion and
in accordance with the time lines established by the State Permit Streamlining Act and
CEQA, and the Telecommunications Act. The only delays in the processing of this
application are attributable to the applicant's request for a waiver of the penalty fee (which
was denied by the City Council on September 18, 2001); the applicant's request for a
continuance of this application from the Planning Commission meeting of October 23, 2001
to the meeting of November 13, 2001; the applicant's appeal of the Planning Commission's
conditional approval and request for continuance of the appeal from the City Council
meeting of February 19, 2002 to the meeting of March 19, 2002; and the applicant's request
for continuance of the reconsideration of the appeal from the City Council meeting of
October 5, 2004, to the meetings of November 16, 2004 and then again to December 21,
2004.
C. In conditionally approving the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 230, the City has
not "[regulated] the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service
facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent
that such facilities comply with the [Federal Communications] Commission's regulations
concerning such emissions" (47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7), subsection (B)(iv)). Although interference
and radio frequency emissions were raised as issues of concern to surrounding residents at
the public hearing and in correspondence to the City, none of the required modifications to
the existing antennae on the site are in response to these concerns. Instead, these
modifications are imposed only to address the aesthetic impacts of the antennae upon the
surrounding neighborhood. City Staff advised the Planning Commission and the City
Council that neither body could consider any environmental effects of emissions that comply
with FCC regulations, including purported impacts upon health or alleged interference with
television reception. The Planning Commission and City Council relied upon that advice and
the provisions of the Act and, therefore, has not based its decision to conditionally approve
the proposed project in any respect upon any actual or perceived environmental effects
attributable to radio frequency emissions. Rather, the conditional approval regulates the
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Page 6 of 7
aesthetic impacts and land use compatibility issues traditionally addressed through the
exercise of local governmental police powers.
Section 5: The City Council is approving the commercial use of the pre- existing five -
masted roof - mounted antennae array to comply with the order of the United States District Court
issued on July 14, 2004, in the case of Kay v. Rancho Palos Verdes. If that order is reversed, the
City Council hereby reserves the right to vacate this decision and resolution and reinstate its prior
decision or, in the alternative, to re -open the public hearing.
Section 6: Modifications to the conditions of approval entitle the applicant/appellant to a
refund of one -half of the appeal fee, pursuant to Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code
Section 17.80.120.
Section 7: The time within which the judicial review of the decision reflected in this
Resolution, if available, must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation. Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 (47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7)(B)(v)), any person adversely affected by the City's final action in this
matter may, within thirty (30) days after such action, commence an action in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
Section 8: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included
in the Staff Report, the testimony and evidence presented at the public hearings before the Planning
Commission and the City Council, the Minutes and the other records of this proceeding on file with
the City, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves Conditional Use
Permit No. 230, thereby approving the commercial use of certain antennae and related support
structures and equipment on the site of a single - family residence, located at 26708 Indian Peak
Road, in the Grandview community, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit W, attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference, which are necessary to protect the public health,
safety and welfare.

RESOLUTION NO. 2004-109 - EXHIBIT 'A'
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 230
(26708 Indian Peak Road)
The following conditions of approval from Resolution No. 2002 -27 are hereby revised to
read as follows:
2. This approval is for the use of antennae and related support structures and
equipment on the site of a single - family residence in the Grandview community
for commercial purposes. The commercial use of the property is conditioned
upon the following modifications:
a. The roof - mounted equipment shall consist of the existing roof - mounted
antenna support structured and a maximum of five (5) vertical masts, each of
which shall not exceed eight and one -half (8Y2) feet in height, as measured
from the point where the mast meets the roof surface.
b. Each of the five masts may have up to four (4) radiating elements affixed
thereon, similar to those that currently are present at the site, provided that
they do not extend any higher than the mast itself and that each antenna or
radiating element does not project more than two feet horizontally from the
center of the mast.
c. In addition, two (2) television antennae also may remain on the roof of the
residence, so long as they do not exceed eight and one -half (8y/) feet in
height, as measured from the point where they are attached to the roof
surface; that the horizontal boom of each antenna does not exceed six feet in
length; that no radiating element or antenna attached to the boom exceeds
two feet in length, and that all of the antennae and support structures on the
property are maintained in compliance with the Municipal Code.
d. The Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement shall review the
exterior masts and antennae to ensure compliance with this condition. Any
additional exterior antennae, masts or other antenna support structure(s) shall
require further approval or modification of this conditional use permit.
e. The exterior masts and antennae described in this condition may be used for
either commercial or non - commercial purposes.
The Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement is authorized to make
only minor modifications to the approved plans and any of the conditions of
approval, and only if such modifications will achieve substantially the same
results as would strict compliance with the approved plans and conditions.
Otherwise, any substantive change, such as the enlargement, expansion or
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 3
addition to, the exterior masts and antennae that this approval allows outside of
the existing residential structure shall require approval of a revision to Conditional
Use Permit No. 230 by the City Council and shall require a new and separate
environmental review.
7. The applicant shall submit a plan depicting the five (5) roof - mounted masts that
are to be retained pursuant to this approval, within (90) ninety days of the date of
the City's final action on this application. The applicant shall obtain a building
permit and any other approval required by the Building Code to modify or
construct the masts and attached antennae on the property.
9. At all times, the applicant shall maintain the color of the entirety of the roof -
mounted antenna support structure and all of the antennae and radiating
elements located thereon, in a neutral color, such as gray, gray -green or gray -
blue, that will blend with the background foliage and the sky, to the satisfaction of
the Director. At the Director's discretion, all or any portion of the antenna array
may be left unpainted if, in its unpainted state, it conforms to the intent of this
condition and substantially matches the existing gray color of the antenna
support structure. However, the Director reserves the right to require the
applicant to paint all or portions of the antenna support structure and array at any
time that the Director finds that additional painting of some elements of the
antenna support structure and array is necessary to further reduce the aesthetic
impacts of the roof - mounted antenna support structure and the radiating
elements and antennae located thereon. If the Director of Planning, Building and
Code Enforcement requires the applicant to paint any portion of the antenna
support structure or antennae located thereon to comply with this condition, the
applicant shall provide the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement
with a selection of possible colors for approval prior to the painting of any portion
of the antenna support structure and array.
10. The five roof - mounted masts and the two television antennae approved by this
resolution shall not be increased or expanded without the advance approval of
the City Council, including, but not limited to, any additional antennae, masts,
antennae support structures, antenna assemblies or radiating elements of any
kind. Existing masts and antennae that are permitted by this approval may be
removed and replaced for maintenance and /or repair as long as the replacement
masts or antennae are the same or less in height, length and mass and in the
same location as the approved masts and antennae, and provided that the total
number of masts and antennae is not increased.
16. No lights may be placed upon the roof - mounted antenna support structure, nor
may it be otherwise illuminated in any manner. In the event that the applicant is
required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to illuminate any portion of
the roof - mounted antenna support structure in order to comply with the
provisions of 14 CFR Part 77 or any other applicable state or federal regulations
regarding obstruction marking and lighting, the applicant may seek a modification
Resolution No. 2004 -109
Exhibit A
Page 2of3
of this provision from the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement.
This condition shall not restrict the use of hand -held lighting, nor the use of
temporary lighting during the performance of emergency repairs.
19. Within ninety (90) days of the date of the City's final action on this application, the
property shall be occupied by the owner, or some other person chosen by the
owner, as that person's primary residence. The necessary improvements to
make the house habitable shall be completed within the initial 90 -day period
including a functional kitchen, toilet and bathing facilities and utility connections
for gas, electricity, water and sewer and shall be maintained continuously. The
applicant shall arrange for the provision of weekly landscape and maintenance
service at the property to ensure that the structure and grounds are maintained
free from litter, debris, and overgrown vegetation so as not to become an
eyesore, if the resident is not maintaining the property as required by these
conditions of approval and by the City's Municipal Code.
22. At approximately one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the
City's final action on this application, the City Council shall review the project for
conformance with the conditions of approval, and determine if any conditions of
approval need to be added, deleted or modified, or if the permit should be
revoked. Within the initial 120 -day permit period, the applicant shall be
responsible for completing all of the site and use modifications described in this
Resolution. Failure to fulfill these conditions may lead to the revocation of this
permit during the 120 -day review process by the City Council.
25. Within thirty (30) days of the date of this approval, and annually thereafter, the
applicant shall provide to the City a listing of all radio facilities or frequencies that
are licensed by the FCC to this site. In addition, within thirty (30) days of this
approval, and annually thereafter, the applicant also shall provide to the City
documentation demonstrating that the site is being operated in accordance with
FCC emission requirements and limits, considering all facilities that are licensed
by the FCC to operate at the site or that use the site pursuant to an amateur
radio operator's license. The listing of all radio facilities or frequencies licensed
by the FCC to the site will not become part of the public record, to the extent
allowed by state law. If the City receives a demand to view this information, the
City will timely notify the applicant so as to provide an opportunity for the
applicant to object to the demand.
Except as expressly modified herein, all of the prior recitals, findings of fact, conclusions
of law and conditions of approval from Resolution No. 2002 -27, as originally adopted by
the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on April 16, 2002, remain unchanged.
