RECOMMENDATION
At the applicant's request, continue the public hearing to June 17, 2014, to provide the
applicant additional time to look into the feasibility of relocating the proposed replacement
antennas.
BACKGROUND
On February 25, 2014, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2014-10 (5-
1 vote, with Commissioner Tomblin dissenting and Chairman Emenhiser recused),
conditionally approving a Conditional Use Permit Revision, allowing Sprint PCS to replace
6 existing roof mounted antennas with 3 new antennas within a new decorative
encasement at the east end of the roof of an existing commercial building located at 28041
Hawthorne Blvd (7-11 building).
On March 11, 2014, prior to the expiration of the appeal period, the Acting City Manager
was notified in writing by Councilman Campbell (email attached) requesting that an item be
placed on the March 1 sth City Council agenda to consider whether the Planning
Commission's February 25th decision should be appealed by the City Council. On April 1,

Re: 28041 Hawthorne -So Kim Page 2of3
So, Sprint has informed me that they would like to continue the meeting to another date as the
reports are not yet complete and they cannot say for certain that the design is feasible or not. Can
we push out the meeting to the following scheduled CC meeting? If so, when would that be?
