ITEM TITLE
Conditional Use Permit to install a new 45-foot freestanding Wireless Telecommunication Facility on a 2.09-acre parcel improved with an existing church within the Single -Family Residence (R-1) zone and Residential Low-Medium (RLM) General Plan land use designation.
Location: 430 Second Avenue.
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines.
Recommended Action: Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP22-0052), based on the required findings and subject to conditions contained therein.
SUMMARY
AT&T Wireless (“Applicant”) requests approval of plans for a new wireless telecommunications facility, consisting of twelve (12) panel antennas mounted on a 45-foot-high stealth faux eucalyptus tree tower and a 9-foot-high concrete masonry unit wall equipment enclosure (“Project”). The Project is located on the same parcel as an existing church, owned by the Church in Chula Vista (“Property Owner”) located at 430 Second Avenue (“Project Site”) . The Project Site is zoned Single-Family Residence (“R-1”) and has a General Plan land use designation of Residential Low-Medium (“RLM”).
HOUSING IMPACT STATEMENT
The Project Site is zoned R-1 and designated Residential Low-Medium in the General Plan, which allows residential uses. No ho using is proposed as part of this Project. Therefore, no additional housing units are proposed as a part of this project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the CEQA and has determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed Project would not re sult in a significant effect on the environment, create a P a g e | 2
cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
DISCUSSION
On December 14, 202 2, the Applicant submitted a Conditional Use Permit (“ CUP”) application to install a new wireless telecommunication facility on a property improved with an existing church. In accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Section 19.89.060, the Planning Commission may allow stealth-designed facilities to exceed the zone district height limit. The maximum building height of the underlying R-1 zone is 28 feet. The proposed freestanding wireless telecommunication facility will be 45 feet tall, exceeding the maximum building height by 17 feet, and thus an approval from the Chula Vista Planning Commission is required.
Project Site Characteristics:
The improved 2.09-acre Project Site is located on the west side of Second Avenue, north of Alvarado Street, and south of G Street (Attachment 1). To the west, south, and east of the Project Site are existing single-family residential properties. To the north are existing single-family and multi-family residential properties. The existing surrounding land uses are as follows:

Project Description:
The proposed Project includes an unmanned wireless telecommunications facility consisting of twelve (12) panel antennas mounted on a 45-foot-high freestanding stealth tower, designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree (Attachment 2). The facility also includes a 9-foot-high concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall, which will serve as an enclosure for the equipment. Other improvements include new landscape surrounding the ground-level enclosure, which will help blend the project in with adjacent landscaped areas. A dditional planting material along the enclosure wall s will provide protection against vandalism and graffiti.

ANALYSIS
In accordance with CVMC Chapter 19.89 (Wireless Telecommunications Facilities ), wireless telecommunications facilities are allowed in any zone, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Facilities that exceed the height limit of the underlying zoning must consist of a stealth design , be at the minimum technologically feasible height, and require Planning Commission approval. The Project will be built to comply with the Wireless Ordinance’s Development Criteria and all other applicable City zoning and building regulations. Access to the site shall be kept to a minimum and conducted in a manner that does not negatively impact the residents or business customers.
Height/Stealth Technology and Design
The proposed stealth facility is designed to provide wireless telephone coverage through the primarily residential areas within a half -mile radius of the Project Site (Attachment 3). AT&T has demonstrated that the proposed 45-foot height limit is the minimum technologically feasible height necessary to close several gaps in coverage which will result in providing uninterrupted service to their customers. A facility built at the maximum building height (28 feet) would not be as effective at providing coverage to areas beyond the adjacent buildings constructed to the same height.
To minimize any visual impact, the facility has been designed as a faux eucalyptus tree to carefully hide and screen the antennae located on the tower (Attachment 4). The location of the facility meets the setback requirements as set forth in the R-1 zoning regulations and will be adjacent to residential neighborhoods to the west, south and east, 200 linear feet, 100 linear feet, and 100 linear feet away, respectively. The closest residential structure to the proposed wireless telecommunication facility is 105 linear feet away to the south.
The facility will use a total of twelve (12) panel antennas mounted on the tower that will provide the necessary connections to operate the facility. This facility has been designed and located to meet the current and anticipated needs of the AT&T Wireless network in the area. The associated equipment will be sheltered within a 9-foot-high ground-level CMU wall enclosure, which will be painted neutral earth tones to compliment the faux eucalyptus tower. The establishment of both the tower and enclosure will not remove any existing parking spaces.
Collocation
Section 19.89.060 of the CVMC states that wireless facilities should allow for collocation to the extent possible. The Applicant searched diligently for collocation opportunities on existing towers within a one-mile radius of the proposed Project Site. The alternatives w ould either result in new facilities with low cellular coverage , or, non-compliance with the City’s Wireless Ordinance standards. The subject site, along with the use of the tower, was found to be the best option for providing additional wireless services. The additional height and space on the tower will also provide sufficient space for future co-location by other carriers.

CONCLUSION
Staff has reviewed the Project and determined that it is consistent with the CVMC and the Chula Vista Design Manual. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the proposed resolution approving the Project, subject to the conditions contained therein (Attachment 5).
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Planning Commission members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property -related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not bee n informed by any Planning Commission member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT
All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the Applicant, resulting in no current fiscal impact or ongoing fiscal impact to the Development Services Fund or the General Fund.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-20
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP22-0052) FOR A NEW 45-
FOOT FREESTANDING WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY
ON A 2.09 ACRE SITE WITH AN EXISTING CHURCH LOCATED AT 430
SECOND AVENUE WITHIN THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ZONE (R- 1) ZONE AND RESIDENTIAL LOW -MEDIUM (RLM) GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION.
WHEREAS, on December 14, 20 22, a duly verified application for a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) was filed with the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department by AT&T (“Applicant”); Church in Chula Vista is the property owner (“Owner”); and WHEREAS, the area leased by the Applicant, which is the subject of this Resolution, is a portion of a property improved with an existing church at 430 Second Avenue, on the west side of Second Avenue, north of Alvarado Street, and south of G Street (“Project Site”); and WHEREAS, the Applicant requests approval of a CUP to install a new Wireless Telecommunication Facility, consisting of a 45-foot-high freestanding tower structure designed as a eucalyptus tree along with enclosed associated equipment (“Project”); and WHEREAS, in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code ( “CVMC”) Section
19.89.060, wireless telecommunication facilities are subject to the height limitation stipulated in the underlying zone; and
WHEREAS, the Single-Family Residence Zone (R-1) zone has a maximum building height of 28 feet; and
WHEREAS, in acc ordance with CVMC Section 19.89.0 60, any wireless telecommunication facilities that exceed s the maximum building height allowed in a particular zone shall require a CUP approved following a public hearing with the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services set the time and place for a hearing on the CUP application, and notice of the hearing, together with it s purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and its mailing to pr operty owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property at least 10 days prior to the hearing; and
PC Resolution No. 2023-20
October 25, 2023
WHEREAS the Chula Vista Planning Commission has reviewed and considered all materials for CUP22 -0052 and the Project , as wel l as having considered oral testimony and documentary evidence submitted related to CUP22-0052 and this Project; and WHEREAS, as advertised, the hearing was held at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, befor e the Planning Commission and the hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista pursuant to CVMC Section 19.14.080 that it hereby makes the following findings:
1. That the proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable t o provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well -being of the neighborhood or the community.
The proposed use will provide expanded wireless communication services to the Chula Vista community including, residential and public facilities. The proposed use will include facilities (i.e. a tower with antennas attached) that will exceed 28 feet in height; however, the proposed height is the only technologically feasible option for providing service to the area. Additionally, a facility built at the maximum building height (28 feet) would not be sufficient enough to allow for current or future expansion, and, co -locations with other cellular providers.
The Project Site is desirable because it will improve the wireless communication as a public convenience by providing essential communication and improved service in the surrounding area of its location. The use will continue to aid in the general wellbei ng of the community by providing a choice in wireless communication reliability in the use’s coverage area. In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, the use will be able to continue to function, which supports the general health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Chula Vista.
2. That such use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
To minimize any visual impact, the facility utilizes a stealth design and is proposed as a faux eucalyptus tree, complimenting adjacent, existing landscaping, and, to screen any cellular equipment from public view . It will not interfere with any existing activities or conveniences of the public.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Title 19 for such use.
The use requires the Applicant and Property Owner to fulfill conditions and to comply with all applicable regulations and standards specified in the City’s Wireless Ordinance (CVMC
19.89) for the telecommunications facility use. The use will be built in compliance with the City’s Wireless Ordinance development criteria and all other City zoning and building PC Resolution No. 2023-20
October 25, 2023
regulations. Additionally, a facility built at the maximum building height (28 feet) would not be sufficient enough to allow for current or future expansion, and, co -locations with other cellular providers.
4. That the granting of this conditional use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any governmental agency.
The integration of wireless facilities with existing uses helps to achieve the Public Facilities and Services Element of the General Plan, including Policy PFS 24.1, regarding installing state-of-the-art wireless facilities, and Policy PFS 24.2, regarding reviewing new telecommunications facilities and requesting siting and design techniqu es that minimize community impacts.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, based on the Findings above, does hereby approve the Conditional Use Permit CUP22-0052, subject to the following conditions:
The following on-going conditions shall apply to the Project Site as long as it relies on this approval:
1. The Applicant shall maintain the Project Site in accordance with the approved plans for CUP22-0048, which include site plans and elevation plans on file in the Planning Division, compliance with the conditions contained herein, and CVMC Title 19.
2. The conditions of approval for this Conditional Use Permit CUP22-0052, shall be applied to the subject property until such time as the approval may be revoked, and the existence of this approval with conditions shall be recorded with the title of the property.
3. The Applicant and Owner shall execute this Conditional Use Permit acknowledging that the subject telecommunications use is the only use that has been approved under this permit. Any new use or modification/expansion of uses shall be subject to the review and approval of the Zoning Administrator.
4. The Applicant shall cooperate with telecommunications companies in co -locating additional antennas on the subject property, provided said co-locators have received a Conditional Use Permit from the City for such use. Applicant shall exercise good faith in co -locating with other communications companies and sharing the permitted site, provided such shared use does not give rise to a substantial technical level -or quality- of-service impairment of the permitted use (as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden). In the event a dispute arises as to whether Applicant has exercised good faith in accommodating other users, the City may require a third -party technical study at the expense of the Applicant.
5. Within 90 days of cessation of the business operations and use of the antennas, the Applicant shall submit a substitute user to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director and/or remove the Project and all associated equipment from the Project Site.
If the facility is removed, the Applicant shall restore the Project Site to its original PC Resolution No. 2023-20
October 25, 2023
condition. Any changes to this Conditional Use Permit shall require a modifica tion to be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator.
6. The Property Owner and Applicant shall and do hereby agree to timely indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the City, its City Council members, Planning Commission members, officers, employees and rep resentatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims and costs, including court costs and attorney fees (collectively, “liabilities”) incurred by the City arising, directly or indirectly, from (a) any environmental deter minations; (b) the City’s approval and issuance of this Conditional Use Permit; and (c) the City’s approval or issuance of any other permit or action, whether discretionary or non -discretionary, in connection with the use contemplated herein. The Property Owner and Applicant shall acknowledge their agreement to this provision by executing a copy of this Conditional Use Permit where indicated below. The Property Owner’s and Applicant’s compliance is an express condition of this permit and shall be binding on any and all of the Property Owner’s and Applicant’s successors and assigns.
7. The conditions of approval for this Conditional Use Permit shall be applied to the Project Site until such time as the approval may be revoked, and the existence of this approval with the conditions shall be recorded with the title of the property.
8. Any violations of the terms and conditions of this permit may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties and/or the revocation or modification of this permit.
9. This Conditional Use Permit (CUP22-0052) may be reviewed 10 years from the date of approval (October 25, 2033) at which time the Zoning Administrator may review this use for compliance with the conditions of approval and any applicable codes and regulations and shall determine, in consultation with the Applicant, whether the Project shall be modified from its original approval, or revoked, and whether another review shall be necessary for the Project and if so, in what period of time.
10. This Conditional Use Perm it (CUP22-0052) shall become void and ineffective if not utilized within three (3) years from the effective date thereof (October 25, 2026) , in accordance with CVMC Section 19.14.260. Failure to comply with any conditions of approval shall cause this permit to be reviewed by the City for additional conditions or revocation.
