The draft findings contained in Resolution 4163 are provided for the Planning<br />
Commission sconsideration However more specific design criteria related to<br />
wireless facilities required by <strong>Tustin</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code 7260 and <strong>City</strong> Council Resolution No<br />
01 5 are discussed below<br />
Design Review <strong>of</strong>Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public Properties and in<br />
the Public Right <strong>of</strong> Way TCC 7260 and Resolution 07 95<br />
As mentioned Section 7262 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Tustin</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code requires approval <strong>of</strong> a Design<br />
Review for new<br />
aboveground utility facility located on public property The design<br />
criteria for these types <strong>of</strong> facilities are outlined within <strong>City</strong> Council Resolution No01 95<br />
Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility Facilities and their Accessory Equipment<br />
The criteria include items such as location stealth facility co location colors<br />
screening landscape signage accessory equipment removal <strong>of</strong> abandoned<br />
structures and undergrounding The following provides an analysis <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />
improvement in relationship to the approved criteria<br />
1 Location The project site is located within a remote and minimally used<br />
landscape area between two walkways within the park Little to no interference<br />
with public use <strong>of</strong> the park is anticipated to result from the proposed facility The<br />
project site is also a considerable distance from adjoining properties<br />
2 Stealth Facility The proposed wireless facility is <strong>of</strong> a stealth design that<br />
replicates a cedar tree The branches bark needles and overall design <strong>of</strong> the<br />
monopole has been engineered to blend as closely as passible with the existing<br />
trees in the area Antenna socks may be used to further screen the individual<br />
antennas<br />
3 Co location The proposed facility can accommodate additional carrier to co<br />
locate onto the facility The additional carrier would place antennas on the mono<br />
cedar below those <strong>of</strong>TMobile The additional accessory equipment <strong>of</strong> the carrier<br />
could be placed within a block wall enclosure adjacent to TMobile sand <strong>of</strong> the
