SUBJECT: Submittal for Sprint PCS Telecommunication Facility, 7100 Four Seasons
Point, APN Number 215-750-01-00, Site No. SD36XC119.
Dear Mr. Grimm:
JM Consulting Group is pleased to submit on behalf of its client, Sprint PCS, an
application for a wireless telecommunication communication facility at 7100 Four
Seasons Point. Sprint PCS is a nationwide PCS service and is continuing the buildout of
its system in the San Diego area.
Project Description
Sprint PCS is proposing to develop, operate, and maintain a telecommunications base
station consisting of four (4) panel antennas stealth mounted on the Aviara Four Seasons
Resort in the City of Carlsbad. Four (4) sectors of one (1) antenna each will be mounted
on the rooftop of the existing facility. In order to architecturally integrate the proposed
facility with the existing building, three (3) of the panel antennas will be placed within a
new rooftop stealth chimney. The new chimney will be similar in appearance to existing
chimneys placed along the rooftop of the existing building. The new stealth screen is
constructed of signal transparent composite material which allows for minimal radio-
frequency attenuation. The new rooftop chimney will be exactly similar in color and
texture as the existing chimneys. One (1) sector of one (1) antenna will be mounted
within an existing rooftop cupola on the southern portion of the rooftop. A portion of the
cupola will be removed and also replaced with the signal transparent composite material.
The base transceiver station (BTS) equipment is proposed to be located within interior
space of the existing cupola. The BTS equipment will include four (4) cabinets, mounted
on a six-inch concrete pad. The necessary power and telco will be delivered to the
antenna sectors via a conduit routed on the rooftop of the existing building. A photo
simulation of the proposed stealth chimney is included as part of the application package.

The proposed project has been designed to minimize any impacts associated with the
development of the project. Development of the project will not require any landform
alterations, will not increase the envelope of the building, will not have any visible
features, and will not alter or interfere with current land uses.
Land Use
The site is part of the Aviara Master Plan in the City of Carlsbad. Wireless
telecommunication facilities are considered quasi-public utilities and are allowed in the
zone according to the city's Municipal Code through the issuance of an administrative
conditional use permit. The primary land uses on site are hotel-commercial.
Site Selection
This site was selected due to its strategic location and the ability to provide necessary
coverage to the Four Season Resort, along Aviara Parkway, 1-5, and the surrounding
residential and commercial uses.
Please contact me at 858-573-7355 if you have any questions concerning this proposal.
Sincerely,
