located within a fenced enclosure, located on a 5.9 acre site owned by Rancho
California Water District, on the east side of Meadows Parkway approximately 1000 feet
north of Rancho California Road at 41280 Placer Lafite (formerly 31008 Rancho
California Road), in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and
Development Code.
F. The Application was processed including, but not limited to a public notice,
in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law.
G. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the
Application and environmental review on May 20, 2009, at a duly noticed public hearing
as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an
opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter.
H. At the conclusion of the Commission hearing and after due consideration
of the testimony, the Commission approved Planning Application No. PA08-0004
subject to and based upon the findings set forth hereunder.
1. All legal preconditions to the adoption of the Resolution have occurred.
Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission, in approving the
Application hereby finds, determines and declares that:
A. The proposed Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the General Plan
and the Development Code;
The project is permitted by Conditional Use Permit within the Public Institutional
Zone. The proposal to co-locate telecommunication antennas onto existing
telecommunications facilities is encouraged by the Development Code.
Additionally, the General Plan encourages installation of new technological
infrastructure throughout the City including broad band, fiber optics, wireless and
other developing technologies.
B. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the nature, condition and
development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures and the proposed conditional
use will not adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures;
The project will upgrade the appearance of an existing monopine to further
enhance its visual appearance and provide a better aesthetic design that is
compatible with adjacent residential uses and surrounding landscape. There is
no demonstrated evidence that wireless communication systems would
adversely affect adjacent uses. Further, the project is existing and compatible
with the public facilities already at the site.
C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Development Code and
required by the Planning Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood;
The site is already developed and the monopine exists. The applicant is revising
the design of the existing monopine which will enhance its appearance and
simulate its appearance as a pine tree to match the surrounding pine trees. In
addition, the applicant is providing additional trees and landscaping to assist in
the buffer to adjacent residential lot as well as provide additional screening to
overall appearance. The existing site conditions are adequate in size and shape
to integrate the new monopine design, additional antenna arrays and associated
equipment and additional landscaping as proposed.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health,
safety, and general welfare of the community;
The concern regarding electromagnetic fields (EMFs) surfaced in the 1980's and
as a result several organizations reviewed the issue and developed standards for
the protection against radio frequency emissions. Studies concluded there was
no demonstrated evidence that exposure to wireless service facilities was
harmful to people. As part of the 1996 Wireless Communications Act, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established an exposure standard
that is a hybrid of various standards developed by others. The FCC controls
frequencies used by various entities and regulates the certification of their
facilities. The 1996 Act expressly preempts State and local government
regulation of the placement, construction and modifications of wireless service
facilities on the basis of environmental effects. Staff has determined that the
nature of the conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety, and general
welfare of the community.
E. The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application for
a Conditional Use Permit is based on substantial evidence in view of the record as a
whole before the Planning Commission or City Council on appeal.
Section 3. Environmental Findings. The Planning Commission hereby makes
the following environmental findings and determinations in connection with the approval
of the Conditional Use Permit Application:
A. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review
(Section 15302, Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction).
This is reconstruction of an existing utility facility where the reconstructed
structure will have substantially the same purpose with negligible expansion of
capacity.
Section 4. Conditions. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula
approves Planning Application No. PA08-0004, A Conditional Use Permit/Antenna
Facility Application for Verizon to reconstruct an existing wireless 68-foot cellular
Monopine and co-locate two additional antenna arrays for a total of three antenna
arrays, replace all 53 existing branches with enhanced branches/foliage and add 37
additional branches, provide additional landscaping including trees and vines to screen
the project and related equipment located within a fenced enclosure, located on a 5.9
acre site owned by Rancho California Water District, on the east side of Meadows
Parkway approximately 1000 feet north of Rancho California Road at 41280 Placer
Lafite, formerly 31008 Rancho California Road, subject to the Conditions of Approval
set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

Re: Statement of Operations (Application No. PA08-0004)
Dear Betsy:
Here is an updated statement of operations for the proposed collocation onto the existing
monopine at 31008 Rancho California Road (Application No. PA08-0004).
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The proposed project site is located at 31008 Rancho California Road. The application
proposes eighteen (18) new panel antennas (twelve (12) for Verizon Wireless and six (6) for
Royal Street) on an existing monopine not to exceed sixty eight (68) feet in height (sixty (60)
foot steel monopole "trunk", and approx five (5) foot long branches extending above the top
of the "trunk"). Verizon Wireless' proposed radio equipment is to be placed adjacent to the
monopine, in a 375 square foot fenced lease area. The equipment lease area is leased from
Rancho California Water district and is located to the north of Rancho California Road, near
the intersection of Meadows Parkway.
Given the area-wide visibility of this site, Verizon Wireless will redesign the existing monopine
to produce a high quality monopine which will camouflage the proposed and existing antennas.
The high quality monopine will dramatically improve aesthetics and provide reliable and essential
wireless services from antennas hidden within a realistic looking pine tree.
The proposed facility has been redesigned to increase the number of faux pine branches from fifty
three (53) to ninety (90) branches by adding thirty seven (37) additional branches. In addition to
the additional branches, all fifty three (53) of the existing branches will be replaced with new
faux branches with thicker needles to produce a full, natural looking pine tree capable of
screening the existing and proposed antennas and mounting hardware. The antennas will have
pine-needle antenna covers to increase camouflaging and all mounting hardware will be painted
with a camouflage design. As shown in the latest set of photo simulations, the new and
replacement branches will greatly improve the appearance of the monopine by filling out the
canopy and camouflaging the antennas. The proposed changes will result in a net gain for the
surrounding community with a dramatically improved appearance and improved access to
essential wireless services.
The subject property is owned by Rancho California Water District. Currently there are two
water tanks and two existing wireless facilities on the property. The vegetation on the

property consists of shrubs, trees and ground cover. There appears to be very little animal
life. There are no cultural, historic or scenic aspects on the property.
Upon completion of construction of the facility, routine maintenance of the equipment is
necessary and will be conducted on a schedule that is approximately one time per month.
1. Hours and days of Operation:
Response: The wireless facility will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
2. Number of employees:
Response: The proposed facility will be unstaffed and operated remotely.
3. Number of required parking:
Response: No new parking spaces are required.
4. Average daily peak trips generated:
Response: The proposed facility will not generate any traffic except for the monthly
maintenance visits.
5. Type of equipment or processes used:
Response: The propose facility will use panel antennas attached to the monopine and ground
mounted radio equipment cabinets within the fenced area at the base of the
monopine.
6. description of hazardous materials (existing and new):
Response: None known
7. Other descriptions that effectively describe the proposed use:
Response: See above description.
Please let me know if there are any questions regarding this Statement of Operations.
