To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the City requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMP's) into the project design per the City's Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP). To
view the SUSMP, refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 4, Chapter 2) at www.carlsbadca.gov/standards.
Initially this questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application
(subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of
storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the
outcome, your project will either be subject to 'Standard Stormwater Requirements' or be subject to additional criteria
called 'Priority Development Project Requirements'. Many aspects of project site design are dependent upon the
storm water standards applied to a project.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts.
City staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the City.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A separate completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted for each new development application submission.
Only one completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project
are submitted concurrently. In addition to this questionnaire, you must also complete, sign and submit a Project Threat
Assessment Form with construction permits for the project.
Please start by completing Section 1 and follow the instructions. When completed, sign the form at the end and submit
this with your application to the city.

Project Objectives
The proposed site maintenance and technology upgrade is intended to provide the residents of
Carlsbad who are served by this facility, the latest in wireless technology by improving call
quality, data transmission and speed.
Alternative Site Analysis
The following locations were evaluated for possible locations for the facility:
NA. Proposed is the modification and maintenance upgrade to an existing Sprint installation
Findings/Burden of Proof
The project site is located in an existing developed industrial area. Industrial building have
proved themselves to be ideal locations for wireless telecommunication uses because the wireless
use can be integrated into the site design having no impact to the functioning of this land use or
surrounding land uses. Sprint is unaware of any negative visual impact generated by the existing
facility and the new proposal will reduce potential visual impacts even further by reducing the
number of factade mounted panel antenna on site. The proposed site maintenance will not
significantly change the appearance of this facility and consequently no visual impact is
anticipated with project approval.
Wireless telecommunication is now an indispensable part of everyday life and wireless
customers expect to be provided nearly flawless radio coverage at all locations and at all times.
The subject project will provide improved radio coverage, improved data reception and
transmission and improved data download speeds within the surrounding area to the benefit of
the general health, safety, welfare and convenience of the public in the vicinity of this facility. In
addition all the antennas will be screened to match the building architecture.
The proposed project is in conformance with all city General Plan goals by furthering the health,
safety, welfare and convenience of city residents with the improvement and continued operation
of a wireless telecommunication facility in an area of the city currently experiencing diminished
wireless service. The proposed project is in conformance with all Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations and standards for wireless telecommunication facilities as
documented in the attached FCC RF Certification form. All height, site and screening
requirements have been met by this project. The installation is emergency 911 compatible with
all wireless carriers.
Sprint is authorized and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate
their wireless systems in the Southern California market area. Transmit power is typically
between 100 to 500 watts per antenna sector, transmitting and receiving at a frequency of 1850.0
~1865.0, and 1930.0-1945.0 MHz. These levels are well below the safety standards established
by the FCC and no health impacts are anticipated with this project in conformance with city
goals for telecommunication uses. In addition, Sprint does not oppose co-location on the subject

building or project site and has left space for additional wireless carriers. This project design
will provide mitigation of future wireless development in the area by allowing for the
concentration of additional facilities at one location, thereby minimizing the spread of these
facilities throughout the community and providing mitigation of the potential visual impact in
more view sensitive locations.
The proposed facility will be unmanned requiring approximately one maintenance visit
per month and will not have any significant impact to existing roadways and on and off
site circulation nor have any impact on the character of existing development in the
neighborhood

5545 Fermi Ct, Carlsbad, California
EnviroBusiness Inc. (dba EBI Consulting) has been contracted by Sprint Nextel to conduct radio
frequency electromagnetic (RF-EME) modeling for Sprint Site SD54XC917 located at 5545 Fermi Ct in
Carlsbad, California to determine RF-EME exposure levels from existing and proposed Sprint wireless
communications equipment at this site. As described in greater detail in Section 11.0 of this report, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
Limits for general public exposures and occupational exposures. This report summarizes the results of
RF-EME modeling in relation to relevant FCC RF-EME compliance standards for limiting human
exposure to RF-EME fields.
This report contains a detailed summary of the RF EME analysis for the site.
This document addresses the compliance of Sprint's proposed transmitting facilities independently.

ON THE PROPERTY
Sprint proposes the removal of three (3) existing antennas replaced with three (3) proposed Sprint
wireless telecommunication antennas on a rooftop located at 5545 Fermi Ct in Carlsbad, California.
There are three Sectors (A, B, and C) proposed to be replaced at the site, with one (I) antenna to be
re-installed per sector in addition to the two (2) existing antennas that are to remain on site. In each
sector, there is proposed to be one antenna transmitting in the 1900 MHz frequency range. The Sector
A antennas will be oriented 70° from true north. The Sector B antennas will be oriented 200° from true
north. The Sector C antennas will be oriented 290° from true north. The bottoms of the Sector A and
C antennas will be 29 feet above ground level. The bottoms of the Sector B antennas will be I foot
above the main roof level.
Based on drawings and aerial photography review, there were no collocated carriers on the rooftop.

7.0 PREFERRED METHOD OF ATTACHMENT OF PROPOSED ANTENNA WITH PLOT OR ROOF
PLAN INCLUDING: DIRECTIONALITY OF ANTENNAS, HEIGHT OF ANTENNAS ABOVE
NEAREST WALKING SURFACE, DISCUSS NEARBY INHABITED BUILDINGS
Based on the information provided to EBI, the information indicates that the proposed antennas are to
be mounted to the rooftop, operating in the directions, frequencies, and heights mentioned in section
4.0 above. The surrounding buildings are commercial buildings.
8.0 ESTIMATED AMBIENT RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS FOR THE PROPOSED SITE
Based on worst-case predictive modeling, the worst-case emitted power density may exceed the FCC's
general public limit within approximately 5 feet of Sprint proposed antennas at the main roof level.
Modeling also indicates that the worst-case emitted power density does not exceed the FCC's
occupational limit near the Sprint proposed antennas at the main roof level. At the nearest
walking/working surfaces to the proposed Sprint antennas, the maximum power density is 451.20
percent of the FCC's general public limit (90.24 percent of the FCC's occupational limit). The composite
exposure level from all is 451.20 percent of the FCC's general public limit (90.24 percent of the FCC's
occupational limit) at the nearest walking/working surface to each antenna. Based on worst-case
predictive modeling, there are no areas at ground level related to the proposed Sprint antennas that
exceed the FCC's occupational or general public exposure limits at this site. At ground level, the
maximum power density generated by the Sprint antennas is 2.30 percent of the FCC's general public
limit (0.46 percent of the FCC's occupational limit). The inputs used in the modeling are summarized in
the RooNiew® export file presented in Appendix B.
9.0 SIGNAGE AT THE FACILITY IDENTIFYING ALL WTS EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR PEOPLE NEARING THE EQUIPMENT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE
APPLICABLE FCC ADOPTED STANDARDS (DISCUSS SIGNAGE FOR THOSE WHO SPEAK
LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH)
Signs are the primary means for control of access to areas where RF exposure levels may potentially
exceed the MPE. It is recommended that additional signage be installed for the new antennas making
people aware of the antennas locations. There are exposures above the FCC limits in front of the
proposed antennas and therefore barriers are recommended.
Additionally, there are areas where workers elevated above the ground or rooftop may be exposed to
power densities greater than the general population and occupational limits. Workers and the general
public should be informed about the presence and locations of antennas and their associated fields.
Access to this site is unknown. To be conservative, the modeling results are reported as though the
general public is able to access the rooftop.

11.0 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) REQUIREMENTS

Radiofrequency Electromagnetic (RF-EME) energy fields, based on exposure limits recommended by the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and, over a wide range of

frequencies, the exposure limits developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
(IEEE) and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to replace the 1982 ANSI
guidelines. Limits for localized absorption are based on recommendations of both ANSI/IEEE and
NCRP.
The FCC guidelines incorporate two separate tiers of exposure limits that are based upon
occupational/controlled exposure limits (for workers) and general publiduncontrolled exposure limits
for members of the general public.
Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully
aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/
controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental
passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general public/uncontrolled limits (see
below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.
General public/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be
exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made
fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore,
members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not
employment-related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a
nearby residential area.
Table I and Figure I (below), which are included within the FCC's OET Bulletin 65, summarize the MPE
limits for RF emissions. These limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. They vary
by frequency to take into account the different types of equipment that may be in operation at a
particular facility and are "time-averaged" limits to reflect different durations resulting from controlled
and uncontrolled exposures.
The FCC's MPEs are measured in terms of power (mW) over a unit surface area (cm2). Known as the
power density, the FCC has established an occupational MPE of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter
(mW/cm2) and an uncontrolled MPE of I mW/cm2 for equipment operating in the 1900 MHz frequency
range. For the Sprint equipment operating at 800 MHz, the FCC's occupational MPE is 2.66 mW/cm2
and an uncontrolled MPE of 0.53 mW/cm2• These limits are considered protective of these populations.

Based on the above, the most restrictive thresholds for exposures of unlimited duration to RF energy
for several personal wireless services are summarized below:
Personal Wireless Service Approximate Occupational Public MPE Frequency MPE
Personal Communication (PCS) 1,950 MHz 5.00 mW/cm2 1.00 mW/cm'
Cellular Telephone 870 MHz 2.90 mW/cm' 0.58 mW/cm'
Specialized Mobile Radio 855 MHz 2.85 mW/cm' 0.57 mW/cm'
Most Restrictive Freq, Range 30-300 MHz 1.00 mW/cm2 0.20 mW/cm'
MPE limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. These limits apply for continuous
exposures and are intended to provide a prudent margin of safety for all persons, regardless of age,
gender, size, or health.
Personal Communication (PCS) facilities used by Sprint in this area operate within a frequency range of
800-1900 MHz. Facilities typically consist of: I) electronic transceivers (the radios or cabinets)
connected to wired telephone lines; and 2) antennas that send the wireless signals created by the
transceivers to be received by individual subscriber units (PCS telephones). Transceivers are typically
connected to antennas by coaxial cables.
Because of the short wavelength of PCS services, the antennas require line-of-site paths for good
propagation, and are typically installed above ground level. Antennas are constructed to concentrate
energy towards the horizon, with as little energy as possible scattered towards the ground or the sky.
This design, combined with the low power of PCS facilities, generally results in no possibility for

exposure to approach Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels, with the exception of areas directly
in front of the antennas.
Statement of Compliance
A site is considered out of compliance with FCC regulations if there are areas that exceed the FCC
exposure limits and there are no RF hazard mitigation measures in place. Any carrier which has an
installation that contributes more than 5% of the applicable MPE must participate in mitigating these RF
hazards.
12.0 LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared for the use of Sprint Nextel. It was performed in accordance with generally
accepted practices of other consultants undertaking similar studies at the same time and in the same
locale under like circumstances. The conclusions provided by EBI are based solely on the information
provided by the client. The observations in this report are valid on the date of the investigation. Any
additional information that becomes available concerning the site should be provided to EBI so that our

13.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
EBI has prepared this Radiofrequency Emissions Compliance Report for the proposed Sprint
telecommunications equipment at the site located at 5545 Fermi Ct in Carlsbad, California.
EBI has conducted theoretical modeling to estimate the worst-case power density from Sprint antennas
to document potential MPE levels at this location and ensure that site control measures are adequate to
meet FCC and OSHA requirements. As presented in the preceding sections, based on worst-case
predictive modeling, the worst-case emitted power density may exceed the FCC's general public limit
within approximately 5 feet of Sprint proposed antennas at the main roof level. Modeling also indicates
that the worst-case emitted power density does not exceed the FCC's occupational limit near the Sprint
proposed antennas at the main roof level.
Signage is recommended at the site as presented in Section 9.0. Posting of the signage and installation of
the recommended barriers brings the site into compliance with FCC rules and regulations.

B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES NEXTEL-RANCHO CARLSBAD-CUP 01-10, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findines:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development ofthe community, is
essentially in hannony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and
is not detrimental to existing uses specifically pennitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is located, in that that the community benefits of wireless
communications include improved telecommunications service for emergency
services and individuals; the use is integrated into the existing industrial building
and requires no significant changes to the site design or function; and, the site's
Planned Industrial land use designation does not preclude the provision of quasi-
public utility uses.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the antennas would be mounted on the existing building's north elevation and
behind an existing mechanical screen, and the equipment enclosure is located
adjacent to the existing structure within the buildable envelope and is consistent
with the industrial development standards.
That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to
adjust the requested use to existing or pennitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that the waD mounted antenna are painted to match the
existing building fa~ade to reduce their visibility to the greatest extent possible and
the equipment enclosure wiiJ be built with similar materials to match the existina
masonry walls.
That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed use would not generate additional
vehicle trips beyond that necessary for occasional service.
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 15303, the construction of
small new equipment and facilities in small structures, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
In making this detennination, the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed
in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby fmds, 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.

To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the City requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMP's) into the project design per the City's Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP). To
view the SUSMP, refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 4, Chapter 2) at www.carlsbadca.gov/standards.
Initially this questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application
(subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of
storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the
outcome, your project will either be subject to 'Standard Stormwater Requirements' or be subject to additional criteria
called 'Priority Development Project Requirements'. Many aspects of project site design are dependent upon the
storm water standards applied to a project.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts.
City staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the City.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A separate completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted for each new development application submission.
Only one completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project
are submitted concurrently. In addition to this questionnaire, you must also complete, sign and submit a Project Threat
Assessment Form with construction permits for the project.
Please start by completing Section 1 and follow the instructions. When completed, sign the form at the end and submit
this with your application to the city.

ISSUES OF CONCERN
Planning:
1. The existing and proposed panel antennas in Sectors A & C must be screened by RF transparent
screen boxes that cover each group of antennas and are painted to match the existing building.
2. The proposed RRU units mounted on an "H" frame are not adequately screened for Sectors A &
C. Please revise and/or relocate these units so that they are considered stealth per City Council
Policy 64.
3. Please show the dimensions of the proposed panel antennas, RRU units and any brackets that
they are proposed to be mounted on.
