SUBJECT: MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. MCUP 13-06 -VERIZON WIRELESS CALAVERA
~-Request for approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP 13-06) to allow the operation of
a wireless communication facility at 2997 Glasgow Drive (Calavera Hills Park), in the Planned
Community (P-C) Zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 7.
Dear Ms. Adler,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Conditional Use Permit MCUP
13-06 for the installation of a new wireless communication facility consisting of the removal of an
existing light standard, the installation of 12, antennas, a microwave dish, and two GPS antennas
mounted to a new light standard, the installation of a an underground equipment vault within a sloped
landscaped area along Carlsbad Village Drive and additional landscaping to visually screen the
underground vault and supporting retaining wall at 2997 Glasgow Drive (Calavera Hills Park). A notice
was sent to property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property requesting comments
regarding the above request. No comments were received within the ten day notice period (ending on
June 21, 2013). After careful consideration of the circumstances surroundlng·this request, the City
Planner has determined that the four findings required for granting a Minor Conditional Use Permit can
be made and therefore, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. 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 (a) the use is
necessary and desirable for the development of the community because of the benefit and
demand for digital communications and data transmissions for businesses, lndlvlduals, public
agencies and emergency service systems In this part of the City; (b) the proposed use is
consistent with the General Plan in that the Open Space·(oS) Land Use designation does not
preclude the provision of Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) uses, The WCF plan has
been found to be consistent with City Council Polley No. 64, Wireless Communication
Facilities, in that it is In a preferred location (within an existing public park) and has a stealth
design as discussed In finding number five. The project's location and stealth design comply
with General Plan objectives that seek to maintain and enhance Carlsbad's appearance.

2. 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 proposed WCF is located within
a preferred location (within an existing public park) as listed in location Guideline A.1.h. of
City Council Polley Statement No. 64, and all aspects of the WCF exhibit stealth design In that
the panel antennas are mounted inside a radome on a new light standard that will be detailed
and painted to match the existing surrounding light standards and the equipment is located in
an underground vault within a sloped landscaped area along Carlsbad VIiiage Drive. The WCF
use Is not precluded by the project's Planned Community zoning or Open Space General Plan
Land Use designation. Furthermore, the antennas on the proposed light pole do not visually
Impact the existing site, do not Interfere with nor are readily visible to other surrounding uses
and will not result in any additional building coverage. The project has been conditioned to
comply with FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the yards, setbac;ks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner in order to
integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood in that the proposed· antennas are
located within a radome on a proposed light standard that will be detailed and painted to
match the existing surrounding light standards. In addition, the equipment enclosure is
located In an underground vault within a sloped landscaped area along Carlsbad Village Drive
and thereby exhibits stealth design techniques.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use In that the proposed unmanned WCF use would require, on
average, only monthly maintenance visits and occasional visits in response to operational
problems.
5. That the proposed WCF is consistent with City Council Policy No. 64 In that it Is located in a ·
preferred location· (within an existing public park) as listed In Location Guideline A.1.h. of City
Council Policy Statement No. 64 and exhibits stealth design, as the antennas are located
within a radome on a proposed light standard that will be detailed and painted to match the
existing surrounding light standards. The equipment enclosure will be located in an
underground vault within a sloped landscaped area along Carlsbad Village Drive.
6. That the City Planner 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 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures) of
the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the
exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
7. The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions Imposed on the Developer contained in
this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate
impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the
exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
