AGENDA OF: May 16,2001 Item No. ® Application complete date: February 19,2001 Project Planner: Anne Hysong Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CUP 00-43/CDP 00-61-SPRINT FOUR SEASONS SITE -Request for a Conditional Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit to allow the installation of an unmanned telecommunications facility consisting of three panel antennas within a faux chimney, one wall mounted polar antenna, and roof mounted equipment cabinets at the Aviara Four Seasons Resort located at 7100 Four Seasons Point in Local Facilities Management Zone 19. I. RECO:MMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4955 and 4956 APPROVING CUP 00-42 and CDP 00-60, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION This application is a request for a conditional use permit and a coastal development permit to allow an unmanned telecommunications facility consisting of three panel antenna concealed within a faux chimney, one wall mounted polar antenna, and roof mounted equipment cabinets on the Aviara Four Seasons Resort located in the Aviara Master Plan community. Quasi-public utility facilities are permitted by conditional use permit and all required findings can be made for the proposed telecommunications facility. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Sprint PCS is requesting Planning Commission approval of a conditional use permit and coastal development permit to construct, operate and maintain an unmanned telecommunications facility at the Aviara Four Seasons Resort site. The purpose of the telecommunications facility at this location is to provide wireless telephone coverage to Sprint PCS customers at the resort, golf course, and surrounding residential areas. The site is designated by the General Plan for Travel Recreation Commercial land use and subject to the Aviara Master Plan and Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP). The Aviara Four Seasons Resort is surrounded by existing residential land use and open space. The proposed project consists of four cross polar panel antennas to be installed within proposed and existing rooftop architectural elements ofthe Aviara Four Seasons Resort hotel. Three cross polar panel antennas that are 56" long x 8" wide x 2.75" deep would be housed by and concealed within a faux chimney that is similar in appearance to existing chimneys and one cross polar panel antenna that is 32" long x 12" wide x 4" deep would be wall mounted to an existing rooftop cupola on the southern portion of the rooftop. A portion of the cupola will be removed CUP 00-43/CDP 00-61-sL FOUR SEASONS SITE May 16,2001 Page 2 and replaced with signal transparent composite material that is similar in texture and color to the existing building. Four BTS equipment cabinets required for the facility would be located within interior space of the rooftop cupola where they will be mounted on a six inch concrete pad. No structural alteration is required for the project except that all antennas will be concealed as described above. The proposed project is subject to the following regulations: A. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code); B. Aviara Master Plan; C. Mello II Local Coastal Program. IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation for approval of this conditional use permit and coastal development permit was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable City regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below. A. Conditional Use Permit Regulations Conditional uses such as digital communications facilities possess unique and special characteristics which make it impractical to include them as permitted uses "by right" in any of the various zoning classifications (i.e., residential, commercial, office, industrial). The authority for the location and operation of these uses is subject to Planning Commission review and the issuance of conditional use permits. Staff has reviewed the proposed project and found that all the necessary findings can be made to approve the conditional use permit. The required findings and satisfaction of these findings are provided below. CONDmONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS AND RESPONSES FINDING PROJECT CONSISTENCY That the requested use is necessary or desirable The requested use is necessary and desirable for the development of the community, IS for the development of the community essentially in harmony with the various elements because of the benefit and demand for and objectives of the General Plan, including, if digital communications. The proposed use applicable. the certified local coastal program, is consistent with the General Plan in that and is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses the Travel Recreation land use designation specifically permitted in the zone in which the does not preclude the provision of quasi- proposed use is to be located. public utility uses, nor is it detrimental to permitted uses in the A viara Master Plan. The project requires no significant changes to the existing site design or function. CUP 00-43/CDP 00-61-sL FOUR SEASONS SITE May 16,2001 Page 3 That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood 'will be provided and maintained. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use. B. Aviara Master Plan The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. The proposed telecommunication facility will result in no additional building coverage and the wall mounted antenna require no alteration to the existing site design which is in compliance with the A viara Master Plan. All proposed facilities would be concealed by existing architectural elements or new architectural elements textured and painted to match the existing building facade to reduce its visibility to the greatest extent possible. The use generates very little traffic, requiring only routine monthly maintenance visits and occasional visits in response to operational problems. The proposed telecommunications facility is accessory to the Aviara Four Seasons Resort hotel located in Planning Area 2a of the Aviara Master Plan. Uses permitted by the Master Plan include accessory uses commonly associated with a full service hotel for the convenience of hotel guests. The proposed telecommunications antennas are an accessory use since they enable wireless telephone coverage fOT Sprint PCS customers at the resort and golf course as well as surrounding residential development. The Planning Area 2a development standards are not applicable to the project since three panel antennas would be housed within a faux chimney and one antenna would be wall mounted to an existing rooftop cupola located on the southern portion of the rooftop where it would be concealed by a composite material screen painted to match the building. The BTS equipment cabinets would be concealed within the existing rooftop cupola. C. Mello II Local Coastal Program Applicable policies of the Mello II LCP include those protecting recreation, visual, and environmental resources of the area. The proposed facility will be placed on an existing building and will not significantly impact coastal resources. Visual resources in the area are protected in that all will concealed within architectural elements of the building or screened to match the existing building thereby reducing their visibility from the surrounding area. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The construction and installation of small new equipment facilities or structures is a Class 3 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (Guidelines Section 15303). The FCC requires compliance with radio frequency power density standards (ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992) for the general public; therefore, the project would not have a CUP 00-43/CDP 00-61-sL FOUR SEASONS SITE May 16,2001 Page 4 significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon proj ect approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4955 (CUP) 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4956 (CDP) 3.
