DR09 033 December 14 2010 Page 10 approximately 350 feet away with the next closest residence approximately 500 feet away Requiring even greater distances than these from residences within an urban area such as the City of Tustin would restrict the placement of wireless facilities and limit the capability of wireless signals and use throughout the community Concern The proposed wireless facility will not improve wireless coverage effectively Response The applicantTMobile has provided mapping of their existing facilities within the area and coverage maps which demonstrate the improvement of coverage that would result from the installation of the facility Attachment C Furthermore there are substantial startup costs associated with a wireless facility such as the one being proposed which would encourage the provider to make sure they have chosen a beneficial location Concern At 65 feet tall the proposed tower is out of scale and in contrast with the area The proposed tower would be an eyesore to the community Response The mono pole associated with the proposed wireless facility is of a custom design which would replicate the existing trees within the vicinity The location of the proposed facility is within a remote part of Cedar Grove Park near a grove of cedar and redwood trees The faux cedar mono pole has been designed to blend in with these trees These trees also serve to screen the proposed facility The majority of the trees within the cedar redwood grove are between the heights of 50 to 60 feet The proposed facility has a faux tree top height of 65 feet to accommodate for future growth of the existing cedar and redwood trees The cedar redwood grove is noted as an important natural resource within the City s General Plan and no trees within Cedar Grove Park would be removed as a result ofthe project Concern Property values in the vicinity would be lowered as a result of the installation of the proposed facility Response Staff is not able to provide comment on the correlation between wireless telecommunication facilities and property values However it should be noted that the proposed facility would be located in a City owned park and the closest residence wou d be over 350 from the proposed facility with the majority of residences more than 600 away There are other wireless facilities within the City of Tustin that are closer to residences than the proposed facility would be The City has not received prior concerns regarding existing or proposed wireless facilities lowering property values
DR09 033 December 14 2010 Page 11 Concern A precedent would be set by allowing the construction of wireless facilities in Tustin Ranch Response There are multiple wireless facilities existing within the Tustin Ranch Community and the broader community The proposed facility would not set a precedent Concern The proposed tower is close to schools and could present a danger to children Response Based on commentary from the prior Zoning Administrator hearing the concerns regarding proximity to schools and children were based on perceived health related illnesses and will be addressed in the next concern There are existing wireless facilities located on school facilities Concern Health related illnesses could result from the installation of the proposed facility which is close to residential and institutional uses Response The Federal Government in particular the Federal Communications Commission FCC is responsible for regulating wireless transmissions and radio frequency emissions The FCC has established guidelines and thresholds for radio frequency emissions to ensure the health and safety of humans All wireless facilities including the one being proposed are required to comply with the standards established by the FCC Humans are exposed to radio frequency emissions and other electromagnetic fields on a daily basis through the use of cell phones microwaves televisions cordless phones baby monitors and other wireless devices While cell phone use has been around since the 1980s similar devices that emit radio frequencies have been around much longer and the technology of using radio frequency signals is not new Required Findings There are many reputable organizations such as the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society as well as others that have performed and reviewed studies These organizations have come to the conclusion that there is no scientific evidence linking radio frequency signals from base stations and wireless networks to adverse health effects In general in determining whether to approve the Design Review for the proposed wireless telecommunications facility located at 11385 Pioneer Road within Cedar Grove Park the Planning Commission must find that the location size architectural features and general appearance of the proposed aboveground utility facility will not
