A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, DIRECTING STAFF TO PREPARE
AMENDMENTS TO (1) COUNCIL POLICY 64 ON WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES TO INCORPORATE
PROVISIONS FOR THIRD PARTY REVIEW AND (2) THE CITY’S

WHEREAS, on October 1 , 2001, the City Council (1) adopted Council Policy 64
on Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF) and (2) requested staff to study the feasibility of
hiring an independent consultant to review applications for such facilities; and
WHEREAS, after completing its study, staff determined the hiring of an
independent consultant is feasible. Staff found that (1) a number of cities require independent
consultant, or third party, review; (2) consultants are available to provide WCF review services
to local governments; and (3) jurisdictions generally require the applicant to pay the costs of
third party review.
WHEREAS, staff also found that hiring of an independent consultant is desirable.
Among other things, an independent consultant will provide the City with an objective, expert
opinion, and will help the City comply with the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996; and
WHEREAS, to implement third party review, the City will need to amend Council
Policy 64; and
WHEREAS, the City will also need to amend its fee schedule so that applicants
pay the consultant fees charged to review WCF proposals and the related city administrative
costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council Of the City Of
Carlsbad, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
2. That Planning Director is directed to prepare amendments for Council
consideration to (a) Council Policy 64 to incorporate provisions for third party
review and (b) the City’s fee schedule so applicants pay the consultant fees
charged to review WCF proposals and the related city administrative costs. 3
