CALAVERA HILLS COMMUNITY PARK ACTION
I RECOMMENDED ACTION :
That the Parks and Recreation Commission approve Pacific Bell’s request for a wireless
communication site at Calavera Hills Community Park.
ITEM EXPLANATION :
Pacific Bell has approached staff to request the City’s permission to install a wireless
communications site at Calavera Hills Community Park. The proposed site will enable Pacific
Bell to expand their network for coverage in the San Diego County area.
Pacific Bell’s proposal requires the removal of an existing eighty foot (80’) light pole located on
the north side of the community center and replacing it with an identical eighty foot (80’) pole.
The new light pole will have antennas mounted ten feet (IO’) below the lights. In addition, the
radio equipment will be placed in a new enclosure that will be built adjacent to the north wall of
the community center. A storage facility for City use could also be placed in the new enclosure
as a condition of approval. Attached as Exhibit “I” is a copy of the designs for this proposal.
Staff visited the proposed site with Pacific Bell representatives and has determined that it will
have no adverse effect to the park. There is a pending license agreement between the City and
Pacific Bell to lease this site for cellular amenities. During contract negotiations, staff will ensure
that the installation of the new light pole will not impact City programs and the community. Staff
will also negotiate a maintenance schedule for Pacific Bell so they will not interfere with other
activities.
A typical license agreement for a cellular site is five years and will generate between $24,000 to
over $27,000 a year in revenues. If approved tonight, the proposal will be forwarded to the City’s
Planning Commission where it will undergo a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. After the
CUP process, the proposal will go to Council for final approval.
