Nextel of California dba Nextel Communications and the owner of the property have entered into a lease agreement for the placement of a communications facility at this location. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Nextel proposes to construct, operate and maintain an unmanned Digital Mobile Radio communications facility at this location. Nextel's communication facility will consist of a 200 square foot prefabricated equipment shelter located behind the main building on the west side. Sixteen (16) panel antennas, measuring one foot wide and four feet in length, will be installed on the east, west, north, and south building facades. The panel antennas will be mounted on the face of the existing building walls and painted to match the background color of the walls to camouflage their visibility. Two (2) global positioning satellite (GPS) antennas and one (1) base mobile radio (BMR) antenna will be mounted on the building rooftop and will not be visible from street level. The facility will be unmanned and operate 24 hours a day. A technician will visit the facility approximately twice per month after installation. SITE SUITABLILITY This specific site was chosen based on its location to provide needed coverage near the intersection of Loker Avenue and Palomar Airport Rd. in the City of Carlsbad and the surrounding industrial and commercial businesses. This particular location was chosen due to its location and high elevation. This site is necessary to provide uninterrupted service to mobile customers traveling from one area to another in the City of Carlsbad along Palomar Airport Rd., and within the adjacent industrial park on Loker Avenue. PROPOSED USE OF FACILITY The project site location is an existing light manufacturing business with a zoning designation of PM by the City of Carlsbad. Application for a minor use permit is made pursuant to the City's Zoning Ordinance. The proposed use of this communications facility will fulfill Nextel's and the community's need for digital mobile radio communication service in this area. This project will not adversely impact the surrounding industrial community. SYSTEM BACKGROUND INFORMATION Nextel of California has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to construct and operate the first multi-purpose enhanced specialized mobile radio system (ESMR) in the United States. The system will provide superior service to the public in several ways: I) it will be a fully digital alternative to current "cellular" telephone systems; 2) it will provide digital dispatch services to large fleet users (this "dispatch" service will make the system able to handle a one-to-many form of communications wherein one dispatcher can contact numerous mobile parties simultaneously); 3) it will provide traditional paging services; 4) it will provide wireless data transmission. All of these functions will be available in one hand-held unit. Page2 Nextel Communications Description of Proposed Project CA 7-411 A Loker HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS The service area is divided into a grid of theoretically hexagonal geographic areas. At the center of each area is a low power unmanned radio repeater station, which handles the calls to and from mobile customers within the area. As a mobile customer moves from one area to another with a call in progress, the call is automatically "handed off' to the next repeater station, without interruption. Telephone line connections between repeater sites and the switching office, and from the switching office to the telephone company central office permit mobile customers within the serving area to utilize their mobile phones just as they would a home or office telephone, with direct dialing. HEAL TH AND SAFETY The proposed use of this project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in the area and will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. All Nextel installations conform to FCC adopted ANSI and IEEE standards. BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF CARLSBAD Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) provides better quality dispatch service through both its interconnect abilities and digital efficiencies. As discovered in the aftermath of the Northridge earthquake, the wireline telephones had inadequate capacity to serve the emergency crews. Nextel provided radios and service to the Red Cross to assist their operation in sheltering and feeding the families whose homes were damaged. ESMR provides emergency contact to 911; has authorization to provide emergency services during periods in which normal communications facilities are disrupted as a result of hurricane, flood, earthquake or similar disaster; and is authorized to transmit communications necessary for the implementation of civil defense activities as assigned by local civil defense authorities.
