REQUEST TO FILE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVISION
APPLICATION FROM T·MOBILE USA
CAROLYN LEHR,CITY MANAGER oY-
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to sign the Conditional Use Permit Revision application,
allowing T-Mobile USA to seek approval to install a new wireless facility on the
monopole at City Hall.
BACKGROUND
The telecommunications monopole at City Hall,30940 Hawthorne Boulevard,was
constructed in 1988 and currently hosts three carriers:Verizon Wireless,AT&T Mobility
and Southern California Edison.The monopole is approximately 81 feet in overall
height and currently has two platforms:Verizon and Edison occupy the platform at the
top of the monopole and AT&T's antennas are located on the lower platform at
approximately 56 feet above existing grade.Each of the three existing tenants has a
ground lease with the City for the equipment associated with their antenna arrays.
Verizon and Edison's support equipment is housed inside the adjacent Administration
Building,while AT&T's equipment is housed in a cargo container placed just off the rear
parking lot.Although they have been extended several times over the years,the
ground leases for each of the three existing tenants are all scheduled to expire on June
30,2014.T-Mobile has been advised that any new installation,if approved,would be
subject to the same expiration date.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
T-Mobile is requesting permission to file a Conditional Use Permit Revision application
to add a fourth antenna installation on the monopole which would consist of six (6)
panel antennas mounted approximately 38 feet above the existing grade (see attached
plan and photo simulations).The associated equipment would be ground-mounted and
screened by a fence enclosure adjacent to the parking lot in an area previously

occupied by the City Hall emergency generator,which was recently replaced and
relocated to the Public Works Maintenance Yard.
DISCUSSION
In order for T-Mobile to proceed through the required Conditional Use Permit Revision
application process,the City must first agree to sign the application forms as the
landowner.The application would then be subject to a noticed public hearing before
the Planning Commission,with the possibility of appeal to the City Council.Notice of
the public hearing would be mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the
exterior boundary of the Upper Point Vicente property.The review process would
include an assessment of the potential impacts of the project,including issues
concerning view impairment and aesthetics.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with allowing the Conditional Use Permit Revision
application to be filed and processed.The applicant will be required to pay all
necessary applications fees associated with processing the request.If the CUP
Revision is approved,the carrier would be required to enter into a lease agreement,
which would be subject to review and approval by the City Council.The City currently
receives approximately $37,600 and $37,300 in annual lease payments from Verizon
and AT&T,respectively,which is adjusted each year based on changes in the
Consumer Price Index.
