shall use its best efforts to first contact Licensor and give Licensor a reasonable amount of time
under the circumstances to be present while Licensee is on the Property.
26. Be responsible for its own equipment.
27. Grant any necessary temporary right of entry for as long as this License is in effect
for electrical and telephone service to the Premises.
28. Licensor and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises upon twenty-four
(24) hour's advance notice to Licensee, during reasonable business hours, for any purpose consistent
with Licensor's status as the owner of the Property and Licensor under this Agreement. Such right
is in addition to and in lieu of any right Licensor may have as the local regulatory authority. In the
event of an emergency, the notice requirement will be waived for such entry requirements,
"emergency" shall be defined as an imminent threat of bodily harm, bodily injury or property
damage where immediate entry is required. Licensor shall provide written notice to Licensee of
such entry immediately after making entry in such circumstances. Under emergency circumstances,
Licensor may access Licensee's equipment cabinets located on the Premises; provided however that
Licensor shall first complete and submit to Licensee the "Cell Site Hard/Soft Key Access Request
Form" attached hereto as Exhibit "E." Licensor shall use its best efforts to first contact Licensee
and give Licensee a reasonable amount of time under the circumstances to be present while Licensor
accesses such equipment cabinets.
29. Subject to Paragraph 29 (a) and (b) below and Licensee's other rights under this
Agreement, Licensor reserves the right to enter into agreements with other parties, including, but
not limited to additional Carriers for use of the Property. In the event that an additional Carrier is
licensed to use the Property, it shall be such Carrier's responsibility, at its expense to ensure that
such installation is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable FCC regulations. If
Licensor approves such Carrier's plans and specifications, Licensor shall notify Licensee in writing
as to the scheduled date and time of commencement of construction and installation of the Carrier's
facility and equipment not less than five (5) business days prior to such date. The Carrier's facility,
equipment and location, and any change to the additional Carrier's approved facility, equipment
and location shall be made compatible with Licensee's facility and equipment at Carrier's sole
expense. Except as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law, disputes between the

Licensee and the other Carriers over the use of the Property shall be submitted to Licensor's City
Manager or an authorized designee for final resolution.
(a) Licensor shall not permit third party lessees, licensees, or agents to obtain
rights to the Property, after the Effective Date hereof, to use any portion of the Property in any way
which interferes with the operations of Licensee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Licensor hereby acknowledges that in the event of any interference with Licensee's Permitted Use
as a result of the transmission or reception (or both) of radio, microwave or other
telecommunications signals by a future third party lessee, licensee or occupant of the Property,
Licensee's rights hereunder to conduct Licensee's Permitted Use shall be and remain superior to the
rights of any such third party future lessee, licensee or occupant, subject, however, to the provisions
of Paragraph 8( d) above. Licensor further acknowledges that interference with Licensee's
operations from future third party lessees, licensees, or occupants may cause Licensee to suffer
irreparable injury and entitle Licensee, in addition to exercising any other rights hereunder or under
applicable law, to seek the immediate enjoinment of such interference against the interfering third
party.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 29(a) above, Licensor reserves the
right to license other portions of the Property to other third parties during the term of this Agreement
and License. Accordingly, Licensor agrees that any other third person or entity who may install

such third person or entity's equipment causes such interference, Licensor will cause the interfering
third party to take all steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference or such interfering
third party will be required to cease operations until such interference is removed. To the extent
that Licensee's operations are not within the parameters of its FCC license, this protection from
co-located interference will not be applicable, but it shall be applicable with respect to those
operations, or portions thereof, falling within the FCC license parameters. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Licensee's right to be free from interference and Licensor's duties concerning the
prevention and/or correction of interference shall be subject to Paragraph 8( d) above.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 6572
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP 09-04) FROM MARCH 3,
2010 THROUGH MARCH 2, 2020 TO ALLOW FOR THE
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN EXISTING UNMANNED
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY LOCATED ON AN

A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the · Planning
Commission APPROVES CUP 09-04 SQUIRES DAM
COMMUNICATION SITE based on the following findings and subject to the
following conditions:
Findings:
1.
2.
3.
That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the
existing Wireless Communication Facility is necessary and desirable for the
development of the community because of the benefit and demand for digital
communications and data transmissions for businesses, individuals, public agencies,
and emergency service systems. The WCF is consistent with the General Plan in
that the Open Space Land Use designation allows the installation of WCF uses.
C.17. of the Implementing Policies and Action Programs in the Open Space Element
of the General Plan is to provide the public with essential utilities, public facilities
and services.
That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the existing Wireless
Communication Facility is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically
permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed
CUP application does not propose any modifications to the existing facility or site.
The Wind Load Study for the project (Next Step Design Inc., September 2009)
concludes that the tower is structurally sound as designed and therefore is not
physically detrimental to adjacent residential uses. The project also complies with
the City's Noise Guidelines Manual to ensure that the existing WCF noise emissions
remain compatible with the existing residences. Although the existing 150 foot tall
lattice tower is clearly visible to the public, the use is not considered detrimental
(from a health and safety perspective) to the existing residential uses. The visual
nuisance of this WCF facility is minimized in that the antennas are mounted as close
to the tower as technically possible.
That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
planning director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood, in that the WCF is proposed on an existing lattice
tower that was approved and constructed as CUP 87-07, 75 feet from the nearest
residential property line. The tower location was dictated by policies in place at that
time and the operational needs of the applicant. City Council Policy 64 currently
identifies existing lattice towers as a preferred location for new WCFs.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the only street system required is the existing

access road to the site, and this road will continue to be maintained. No traffic is
generated by the existing use except for one monthly on-site maintenance visit.
That the proposed wireless communication facility is consistent with City Council Policy
Statement No. 64, in that the location is considered "preferred" given that the WCF is
continuing to operate in a preferred location in an Open Space zone on an existing
communication tower near Maerkle Reservoir. The existing Wireless
Communication Facility does not exhibit a stealth design since the technology is not
yet available to stealth the antennas. At the time CUP 87-07(B) was approved, City
Council Policy No. 64 (which requires stealth design) had not been adopted; the
applicant has steadfastly contended that new technology is not available to replace
the current equipment with "stealth" devices; and the only available tower designs
for the Wireless Communication Facility are either a lattice tower or mono-pole.
Mono-poles can be disguised as trees to provide a stealth design; however, at this
site, the determining factor for the original lattice tower is the capability such
facility provides for the location of multiple antennas on a single tower given the
potential wind loads at this elevation. Additionally, the wireless cellular industry
does not have mono-palms or other types of trees at the height required for the cell
site to work effectively. The existing 150 foot tall WCF lattice tower is setback
approximately 75 feet from the nearest residential property line. It would be
extremely difficult and costly to relocate the WCF to achieve a 150 foot setback from
the property line of the adjacent single-family residences located in the City of
Vista. The specific location of the tower was originally chosen because of the
tower's line-of-sight requirements and the Federal Communications Commission's
requirements which preclude interference with existing uses. The WCF had to
locate outside of Cablevision's transmit/receive signal paths and had to locate where
its signals were not impacted by Cablevision's facility. By choosing this particular
site, the WCF complied with FCC and FAA standards. The WCF is setback much
more than the 150 feet from the nearest residential zone boundary in the City of
Carlsbad. It would be costly and difficult to move the lattice tower and would
temporarily disrupt service. Additionally, the applicant also has a license agreement
for a particular portion of the property on which the lattice tower is located.
Verizon Wireless would have to either lease additional space or negotiate a different
lease. The WCF cannot operate at a lower height and maintain similar wireless
coverage and microwave interconnection without severely impacting Verizon
Wireless' system reliability.
That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301, Existing Facilities,
of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has
found that the exc~ptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not
apply to this project.
