RESOLUTION NO. 5567
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS APPROVING AN
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-6 — REDUCING THE SCALE OF
THE EXISTING ANTENNA ARRAY AND AMENDING CONDITION NO. 39.A.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES,
DETERMINES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That a follow-up to the three-year periodic review of Conditional Use Permit No.
94-6 was conducted by the City of Cypress on June 10, 2002, pursuant to Condition No. 39.a of said
permit to review "a proposal with drawings and photo simulations for an aesthetically improved
design for the antenna array and support structure (monopole) onsite". The subject facility includes
an existing telecommunications transmission antenna (65-foot tall monopole-type) and a 360
square-foot equipment building located at 8921 Electric Street within the PC Planned Community
Zone. The amended telecommunications antenna facility project would reduce the number of
antennas from twenty-one (21) antennas to twelve (12) antennas, mounted on T-Arms attached to
the monopole support structure. Additionally, the T-Arms holding the antennas would be reduced
in length from twenty(20)feet to ten (10)feet.
2. That the City Council reviewed the staff report analysis and recommendations
including the proposed amendment to the Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use Permit No.
94-6.
3. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a public hearing on said
review and amendment as provided by law.
4. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. The proposed location of the amended conditional use is in accord with the
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the PC Planned Community Zone in
which the site is located, which is:
Intended to provide opportunity for the design and development of
integrated, master-planned projects in areas of the City which may benefit
from special design standards and land uses not otherwise possible under
conventional zoning district regulations; and intended to permit a mix of land
uses, planned commercial developments and business parks, and a variety of
housing styles and densities.
b. The proposed location of the amended conditional use and the conditions
under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity in
that:
(1) The amended telecommunications antenna facility project would be
consistent with the IL Industrial Light District of the applicable Lincoln Avenue
Specific Plan and the surrounding uses within the same District and the PC Zone.
(2) The amended telecommunications antenna facility project would
reduce the number of antennas mounted on the T-Arms and would reduce the length
of the T-Arms supporting the antennas on the monopole. No height increase would
result from this amendment to the project. Therefore, the project would still meet all
applicable development standards, except for an approved Variance No. 94-1:
allowing the antenna monopole structure to exceed the 35-foot height limit in the
District/Zone and allowing the equipment building to be located closer than ten feet
(10')to the antenna monopole.
(3) The proposed reduction in the scale of the antenna array would meet
the intent of Condition Nos. 38, 39 and 39.a. of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-6,
pending more extensive improvements within the next five (5) years, as set forth in
-1-
451
the amended Condition No. 39.a. IN exhibit`B" attached.
(4) The amended Condition No. 39.a. would require the current operator
of the subject telecommunications antenna facility to replace the existing monopole
antenna support structure with an imitation tree design structure, or a stealth facility
design, upon securing another company to collocate at this site, or upon the next five
(5) year design review in 2006 (whichever occurs first). Therefore, the amended
condition would be consistent with the originally approved periodic review
provisions of the Conditional Use Permit No. 94-6.
(5) The amended telecommunications antenna facility project would
continue to provide a public service for cellular telephone users in the Cypress area.
c. The proposed amended conditional use will comply with each of the
applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, except for approved Variance No. 94-1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cypress does hereby approve the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 94-6, subject to the
previously approved Condition Nos. 1-47 attached hereto as Exhibit "A", and subject to the
previously amended Condition No. 39 and the current amendment to Condition No. 39.a. attached
hereto as Exhibit`B".
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular meeting
held on the 10th day of June, 2002.
