(dba EBI Consulting) has been contracted by AT&T Mobility, LLC to conduct radio frequency electromagnetic (RF-EME) modeling for AT&T Site NS0021 located at 6986-96 El Camino Real in Carlsbad, California to determine RF-EME exposure levels from proposed AT&T wireless communications equipment at this site. As described in greater detail in Section 2.0 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, including the following: • Antenna Inventory • Site Plan with antenna locations • • • Antenna inventory with relevant parameters for theoretical modeling Graphical representation of theoretical MPE fields based on modeling Graphical representation of recommended signage and/or barriers This document addresses the compliance of AT&T's transmitting facilities independently and in relation to all collocated facilities at the site. Statement of Compliance A site is considered out of compliance with FCC regulations if there are areas that exceed the FCC exposure limits aru!. 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. Per AT&T's corporate policy, the FCC's general population limits are applicable to all rooftop sites, regardless of the level of access control. As presented in the sections below, based on worst-case predictive modeling, there are no modeled areas on any accessible rooftop or ground-level walking/working surface related to the proposed antennas that exceed the FCC's occupational or general public exposure limits at this site AT&T Recommended Sign age/Compliance Plan AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance, dated March 31, 2009, requires that: I. All sites must be analyzed for RF exposure compliance; 2. All sites must have that analysis documented; and 3. All sites must have any necessary signage and barriers installed. Site compliance recommendations have been developed based upon protocols presented in AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance document, dated March 31, 2009, additional guidance provided by AT&T, EBI's understanding of FCC and OSHA requirements, and common industry practice. Barrier locations have been identified (when required) based on guidance presented in AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance document, dated March 31, 2009. The following signage is recommended at this site: IlEBI 21 B Street • Burlington, MA 01803 • 1.800.786.2346 RF-EME Compliance Report EBI Project No. 621 0 1308 • Green INFO I sign posted at roof access . USID No. 50934 Site No. NS0021 6986-96 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California The signage proposed for installation at this site complies with AT&T's RF Exposure Policy and therefore complies with FCC and OSHA requirements. No barriers are recommended for this site. More detailed information concerning site compliance recommendations is presented in Section 5.0 and Appendix E of this report. &IEBI 21 B Street • Burlington, MA 01803 • 1.800. 786.2346 2 RF-EME Compliance Report EBI Project No. 6210 1308 USID No. 50934 Site No. NS0021 6986-96 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION This project involves the proposed installation of up to twelve ( 12) wireless telecommunication antennas on a rooftop in Carlsbad, California. There are three sectors (A, B and C) proposed at the site. The current plans for the site include four (4) proposed antennas per sector, a total of twevle ( 12) antennas to be installed on the site. In each sector, there is assumed to be one antenna transmitting in two bands of UMTS 850, and two bands of UMTS 1900 frequencies. Two antennas will be transmitting in the L TE 700 frequency. The remaining antenna is assumed to be transmitting in the GSM 850 and GSM 1900 frequencies. The Sector A antennas will be oriented oo from true north. The Sector B antennas will be oriented 120° from true north. The Sector C antennas will be oriented 220° from true north. The bottoms of the Sector A antennas will be 12.1 3 feet above roof level. The bottoms of the Sector B antennas will be 18.38 feet above roof level. The bottoms of the Sector C antennas will be 23.71 feet above roof level. Appendix B presents an antenna inventory for the site. Access to this site is unknown as such, the general public is able to access the rooftop. 2.0 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) REQUIREMENTS The FCC has established Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for human exposure to 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 publiduncontrolled 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. IlEBl 21 B Street • Burlington, MA 01803 • 1.800.786.2346 3 RF-EME Compliance Report EBI Project No. 6210 1308 USID No. 50934 Site No. NS0021 6986-96 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 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 AT&T equipment operating at 850 MHz, the FCC's occupational MPE is 2.83 mW/cm2 and an uncontrolled MPE of 0.57 mW/cm2. These limits are considered protective of these populations.

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 AT&T in this area operate within a frequency range of 850-1900 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. 3.0 AT&T RF EXPOSURE POLICY REQUIREMENTS AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance, dated March 31,2009, requires that: I. All sites must be analyzed for RF exposure compliance; 2. All sites must have that analysis documented; and 3. All sites must have any necessary signage and barriers installed. Pursuant to this guidance, worst-case predictive modeling was performed for the site. This modeling is described below in Section 4.0. Lastly, based on the modeling and survey data, EBI has produced a Compliance Plan for this site that outlines the recommended signage and barriers. The recommended Compliance Plan for this site is described in Section 5.0. 4.0 WORST-CASE PREDICTIVE MODELING In accordance with AT&T's RF Exposure policy, EBI performed theoretical modeling using RoofView® software to estimate the worst-case power density at the site rooftop and ground-level and nearby roof-tops resulting from operation of the antennas. RoofView® is a widely-used predictive modeling program that has been developed by Richard Tell Associates to predict both near field and far field RF power density values for roof-top and tower telecommunications sites produced by vertical collinear antennas that are typically used in the cellular, PCS, paging and other communications services. The models utilize several operational specifications for different types of antennas to produce a plot of spatially-averaged power densities that can be expressed as a percentage of the applicable exposure limit. For this report, EBI utilized antenna and power data provided by AT&T, and compared the resultant worst-case MPE levels to the FCC's occupational/controlled exposure limits outlined in OET Bulletin 65. IlEBI 21 B Street • Burlington, MA 01803 • 1.800.786.2346 5 RF-EME Compliance Report EBI Project No. 6210 1308 USID No. 50934 Site No. NS0021 6986-96 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California The assumptions used in the modeling are based upon information provided by AT&T, and information gathered from other sources. An unknown carrier also has antennas on the rooftop. Information about these antennas was included in the modeling analysis. Per AT&T's corporate policy, the FCC's general population limits are applicable to all rooftop sites, regardless of the level of access control. Based on worst-case predictive modeling, there are no modeled areas on any accessible rooftop or ground-level walking/working surface related to the proposed AT&T antennas that exceed the FCC's occupational or general public exposure limits at this site. At the nearest walking/working surfaces to the AT&T antennas, the maximum power density generated by the AT&T antennas is approximately 30.60 percent of the FCC's general public limit (6.12 percent of the FCC's occupational limit). The composite exposure level from all carriers on this site is approximately 30.60 percent of the FCC's general public limit (6.12 percent of the FCC's occupational limit) at the nearest walking/working surface to each antenna. The composite exposure level from all carriers on this site is approximately 30.60 percent of the FCC's general public limit (6.12 percent of the FCC's occupational limit) at ground level. There are no modeled areas on the rooftop and ground that exceed the FCC's limits for general public or occupational exposure in front of the other carrier antennas. The inputs used in the modeling are summarized in the RoofView® export file presented in Appendix C. A graphical representation of the RoofView® modeling results is presented in Appendix D. It should be noted that RoofView is not suitable for modeling microwave dish antennas; however, these units are designed for point-to-point operations at the elevations of the installed equipment rather than ground level coverage.

The signage and any barriers are graphically represented in the Signage Plan presented in Appendix E. 6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS EBI has prepared this Radiofrequency Emissions Compliance Report for the proposed AT&T telecommunications equipment at the site located at 6986-96 El Camino Real in Carlsbad, California. EBI has conducted theoretical modeling to estimate the worst-case power density from AT&T antennas and other carriers' antennas to document potential MPE levels at this location and ensure that site control measures are adequate to meet FCC and OSHA requirements, as well as AT&T's corporate RF safety policies. As presented in the preceding sections, based on worst-case predictive modeling, there are no modeled exposures on any accessible rooftop or ground-level walking/working surface related to proposed equipment in the area that exceed the FCC's occupational or general public exposure limits at this site. As such, the proposed AT&T project is in compliance with FCC rules and regulations. Signage is recommended at the site as presented in Section 5.0 and Appendix E. Posting of the signage brings the site into compliance with FCC rules and regulations and AT&T's corporate RF safety policies. 7.0 LIMITATIONS This report was prepared for the use of AT&T Mobility, LLC.

Dear Ms. Patterson, The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Conditional Use Permit MCUP 13-08 for the extension, continued operation and minor redesign of a Wireless Communications Facility that currently consists of six, four foot tall, existing panel antennas, but will expand to 12, six foot tall, panel antennas under this proposal, mounted behind Radio Frequency (RF) transparent screens that are textured and painted to match the building and associated equipment cabinets that are located within the building on property generally located at 6994 El Camino Real. 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 August 29, 2013). After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding 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 develop~ent of the community because of the benefit and demand for digital communications and data transmissions for businesses, individuals, public agencies and emergency service systems in this part of the City; (b) the use is consistent with the General Plan in that the Local Shopping Center (L) Land Use designation does not preclude the provision of Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) uses. The existing WCF includes antennas mounted on the south and east facing walls of a commercial building just below the roof line. To minimize their visibility, the MCUP proposes to further stealth the new antennas behind RF transparent screens that are painted and textured to match the building. The WCF is consistent with City Council Policy Statement No. 64, Wireless Communication Facilities in that it is in a preferred commercial zone location and has a stealth design. The project's Planning Division 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 T 760-602-4600 F 760-602-8559 • • MCUP 13-08-AT&TWESTBLUFF LTE , '; S€pt~mb'~r 4, 2013 Page 2 location and stealth design also enable the project to 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 WCF is located within a preferred non-residential location (Commercial zone) as listed in Location Guideline A.1.b. of City Council Policy Statement No. 64, and all aspects of the WCF exhibit stealth design and are completely hidden behind screen walls which are constructed of radio frequency (RF) transparent screen material that is textured and painted to match the existing building, as well as the equipment cabinets located entirely within a leased commercial suite on the property. The WCF use is not precluded by the project's Neighborhood Commercial (C-1-Q) zoning. Furthermore, the placement of the antennas behind RF transparent screens blend in with the building architecture and do not visually impact the existing site or building design and do not interfere with nor are 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, setbacks, 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 WCF is existing and the proposed redesign, although adding antennas, will reduce its visibility in that the proposed antennas are mounted behind RF transparent screens that are textured and painted to match the building. The original approval of the conditional use (CUP 05-10) was granted on January 4, 2006 and a subsequent approval on August 8, 2011 (MCUP 11-03). 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use in that the unmanned WCF use requires, on average, only monthly maintenance visits and occasional visits in response to operational problems. 5. That the existing WCF is consistent with City Council Policy Statement No. 64 in that it is located in a preferred location (Commercial zone) as listed in Location Guideline A.1.b. of City Council Policy Statement No. 64 and exhibits stealth design, as the antennas are completely hidden behind RF transparent screen material that is textured and painted to match the existing building. The equipment cabinets are located within a lease space in the building and therefore exhibit a stealth design. 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 15301 -Existing Facilities, 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. .-. e MCU P 13-08 -AT&T WESTBLU FF L TE September 4, 2013 Page 3 Conditions: • 1. Approval is granted for MCUP 13-08-AT&T WESTBLUFF LTE as shown on Exhibits "A"-"F" dated September 4, 2013 on file in the Planning Division and incorporated herein by reference.

Development shall occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development different from this approval shall require an amendment to this approval. 4. The Developer/Operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims and costs, including court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the City arising, directly or indirectly, from (a) City's approval and issuance of this Minor Conditional Use Permit, (b) City's approval or issuance of any permit or action, whether discretionary or non-discretionary, in connection with the use contemplated herein, and (c) Developer/Operator's installation and operation of the facility permitted hereby, including without limitation, any and all liabilities arising from the emission by the facility of electromagnetic fields or other energy waves or emissions. 5. The Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local ordinances in effect at the time of building permit issuance. 6. This project shall comply with all conditions and mitigation measures, which are required as part of the Zone 6 Loc.al Facilities Management Plan and any amendments made to that Plan prior to the issuance of building permits. 7. MCUP 13-08 shall be reviewed by the City Planner on a yearly basis to determine if all conditions of this permit have been met and that the use does not have a substantial negative effect on surrounding properties or the public health, safety and general welfare. If the City Planner determines that: 1) the minor conditional use permit was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation; or 2) the use for which such approval is granted is not being exercised; or 3) the conditions of approval have not been met; or 4) the minor conditional use permit is being or recently has been exercised contrary to any of the terms or conditions of approval; or 5) the use for which such approval was granted has ceased to exist or has been suspended for one year or more; or 6) the use is in violation of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation; or 7) the use • • MCUP 13-08-AT&TWESTBLUFF LTE September 4, 2013 Page 4 permitted by the minor conditional use permit is being or has been so exercised as to be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or so as to constitute a nuisance, the City Planner shall hold an informal public hearing and after providing the permittee the opportunity to be heard, the City Planner may revoke and terminate the minor conditional use permit in whole or in part, reaffirm the minor conditional use permit, modify the conditions or impose new conditions. 8. This Conditional Use Permit is granted for a period of ten (10) years from September 4, 2013 through September 3, 2023. This permit may be revoked at any time after a public hearing, if it is found that the use has a substantial detrimental effect on surrounding land uses and the public's health and welfare, or the conditions imposed herein have not been met. This permit may be extended for a reasonable period of time not to exceed ten (10) years upon written application of the permittee made no less than 90 days prior to the expiration date. The Planning Commission may not grant such extension, unless it finds that there are no substantial negative effects on surrounding land uses or the public's health and welfare. If a substantial negative effect on surrounding land uses or the public's health and welfare is found, the extension shall be denied or granted with conditions which will eliminate or substantially reduce such effects. There is no limit to the number of extensions the Planning Commission may grant. 9. If any condition for construction of any public improvements or facilities, or the payment of any fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this residential housing project are challenged this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section 66020. If any such condition is determined to be invalid this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council determines that the project without the condition complies with all requirements of law. 10. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, owner/applicant shall submit to the City a Notice of Restriction to be filed in the office of the County Recorder, subject to the satisfaction of the City Planner, notifying all interested parties and successors in interest that the City of Carlsbad has issued a Minor Conditional Use Permit on the real property owned by the owner/applicant. Said Notice of Restriction shall note the property description, location of the file containing complete project details and all conditions of approval as well as any conditions or restrictions specified for inclusion in the Notice of Restriction. The City Planner has the authority to execute and record an amendment to the notice, which modifies or terminates said notice upon a showing of good cause by the owner/applicant or successor in interest. 11. Developer/Operator shall comply with the Federal Communication Commission's guidelines on limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. Within six (6) months after the issuance of occupancy, and with any time extension or amendment request, the Developer/Operator shall submit to the City Planner either (1} verification that the project is categorically excluded from having to determine compliance with the RF exposure guidelines per 47 CFR §1.1307(b)(1); or (2) a project implementation report which provides cumulative field measurements of RF emissions of all antennas installed at the subject site. The report shall quantify the RF emissions and compare the results with the exposure limits established by the FCC guidelines. Said report shall be subject to review and approval by the City Planner for consistency with the Project's preliminary report on RF exposure submitted with the initial project application and for consistency with the FCC guidelines. If, on review, the City finds that • • MCUP 13-08-AT&T WESTBLUFF LTE September 4, 2013 Page 5 the Project does not meet the FCC guidelines, the City may revoke or modify this conditional use permit. 12. This approval for the expansion of the existing wireless communications facility shall become null and void if building permits are not issued for this project within 2 years from the date of project approval. 13. Developer shall report, in writing, to the City Planner within 30 days, any address change from that which is shown on the permit application. Engineering: 14.
