Site location in proximity to recently
approved AT&T Projects
• The distance between Project CUP22-0052 (430 2nd Avenue) and CUP22-0044 (740 Hilltop Drive) is 0.9 miles and the coverage of the project 740 Hilltop Drive is a maximum of 0.4 miles, therefore it is not possible to achieve coverage objectives.
• The distance between CUP22-0052 (430 2nd Avenue) and CUP22-0048 (301 E.
Palomar Street) is even greater at 2.4 miles, therefore it is not possible to cover the objectives of 430 2nd Avenue with 301 E. Palomar Street. • Height limitations/restrictions on the two previously approved projects Hilltop Drive and Palomar Street limit their coverage radius, making our 430 2nd Avenue project necessary to address coverage needs.

Smart City Chula Vista
Chula Vista stands at the forefront of the global smart city initiative, spearheading advancements with cutting-edge technology and sophisticated data analytics tools aimed at enhancing the quality of life and fostering economic development. The city's dedication to smart city innovation is evident in its comprehensive strategic plan and a multitude of ongoing initiatives.
Some of these ongoing initiatives include:
• Network Upgrades
• Smart Transportation
• Police Dispatch Modernization
• Unmanned Aerial Systems including Drones used by the Chula Vista Police Department, rely on AT&T’s FirstNet and commercial networks to provide real-time information to First Responders.
16PROPERTY OF MD7
AT&T’s Commitment to Public Safety
• This site coverage increase is crucial for the additional coverage and capacity it will add for FirstNet.
• FirstNet is a nationwide, high-speed wireless broadband network and set of specialized, innovative tools, technologies and features specifically built for public safety. FirstNet is designed for every first responder in the country – career or volunteer; city, state, tribal or federal; and urban, suburban or rural. Think firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement, 9-1-1 communicators and emergency managers. FirstNet is also available to a community of users who are critical to supporting an emergency response – including nurses and physicians or utility companies that clear downed power lines and manage gas leaks.
• Dedicated frequency to clear a communication highway in times of emergency
• “In California 85% of 911 calls are made from a wireless device”
• AT&T sole deployer of FirstNet
17PROPERTY OF MD7
Alternative Site #1 – 398 H Street (7/11)
• This address is located 0.6 miles away from the
proposed site location.
• Co-location would require an increase in height for the coverage and capacity to include the targeted
residential zones / land use.
• Modification to the existing WCF would provide less
coverage and capacity due to the surrounding built
environment and would not benefit the community to
the same extent as the current proposal.
18PROPERTY OF MD7
Alternative Site #2 – 287 G Street
• This proposed site is located 0.3 miles away from the proposed area.
• A site at this location would not have been feasible:
• The location has limited parking. A standalone
structure would consume usable space in an
already limited area.
• A rooftop facility would not allow completion of the
AT&T network. The height of the building is around
28-feet and is surrounded by high vegetation and
buildings that would interfere with the cell service.
19PROPERTY OF MD7
Alternative #3 – 744 F St.
• This site was suggested by Appellant (Mr. Daley).
• This site is located over a mile away from the proposed target area.
• There is an existing AT&T tower located at this property that is already servicing the area.
• Due to this locations distance away from our target area, and being serviced by an existing AT&T facility, aco-location or increase in power at this location will not solve the issue that is presented at the current location,
20PROPERTY OF MD7
Alternative Site #4 – 1642 Silvas Street
• This site was proposed and suggested by Appellant (Mr.
Daley).
• This site is located 3 miles away from the proposed location and beyond AT&T’s target area.
• Similar to the site at 744 F. St, due to this locations distance from our target area, and being serviced by an existing AT&T facility, a co-location or increase in power at this location will not solve the issue that is presented at the current location. • Overall, the distance of this alternative location from AT&T’s target area does not accomplish the objectives of the project.
