REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH OC MARATHON LLC TO HOST THE CORONA 5000 ROAD RACE FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks that the City Council approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OC Marathon LLC for the Corona 5000 Road Race for a three-year term from 2027–2029. The approval of the MOU will allow the City of Corona, in partnership with the OC Marathon, to move forward with event planning, logistics, interdepartmental coordination, and public outreach.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding with the OC Marathon, LLC., to coordinate and produce the Corona 5000 Road Race for the years 2027-2029 subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of the Corona Municipal Code, including but not limited to Chapter 12.32 (Special Events and Street Closures), and any other relevant local, county, or state regulations. b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all necessary agreements and permits with OC Marathon LLC.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The Corona 5000 Road Race is the City’s newest signature community event, which was produced in partnership with OC Marathon, LLC for its inaugural race on March 21, 2026.

The race drew more than 2,900 participants and demonstrated strong community enthusiasm.

The City would like to continue its partnership with OC Marathon to foster the Corona 5000 Road Race as a premier 5K event that celebrates Corona’s historic racing heritage while meeting modern operational and safety standards. As an annual event, the Corona 5000 will become an iconic community tradition that promotes health and wellness, supports broad community participation, and reinforces Corona’s identity as a regional recreation destination.

Corona’s connection to road racing is deeply rooted in its history, with three notable “Corona Road Races” held in the early 1900s. Grand Boulevard’s 3.1-mile circular roadway served as the racetrack, drawing national attention and positioning Corona as a center of innovation and excitement. The Corona 5000 Road Race honors this legacy by utilizing the same historic course and delivering a modern, family-friendly event that blends tradition with present day priorities of health, wellness, and community involvement. Over the term of the new MOU, the event is expected to continue growing, expanding, and adapting, allowing for new race features, enhanced programming, and opportunities to enrich the participant experience as the event evolves each year.

ANALYSIS:

The City’s successful partnership with the OC Marathon in 2026 for the inaugural Corona 5000 Road Race resulted in a sold-out event with over 2,900 participants. OC Marathon’s nationally recognized experience positions the City to grow the event, elevate the runner experience, and increase community participation. Partnering with the OC Marathon provides the capacity to scale operations, introduce new program elements, and support long-term event development. They have a proven ability to deliver largescale, well-managed races, along with strong youth engagement and charitable partnerships. This creates a solid foundation for expanding the Corona 5000 into a signature event that enhances community visibility and economic activity.

Following last year’s successful implementation, Grand Boulevard has been confirmed as a safe and effective route for the Corona 5000. The 2027 race will maintain its single

3.1-mile lap and is expected to welcome more than 3,000 participants, reflecting continued growth and strong community interest. A new kid’s race will further expand family participation. Additionally, staff are exploring coordination with CoronaNorco Unified School District (CNUSD) to hold their annual boxcar races the Friday before the event, creating a dynamic, multiday community celebration. As planning progresses, participation may increase based on parking availability and overall operational capacity, supporting long-term expansion of the event.

The traffic plan used during last year’s event proved to be highly successful, and after follow-up discussions with the Police Department, it has been determined that the same operational format will be used in future years with minor adjustments as needed.

The event will require temporary closures along Grand Boulevard, though traffic inside the circle will remain open.

From 8:00 to 9:15 a.m., residents inside Grand Blvd. that wish to exit the circle will be directed to the eastbound and westbound SR91 freeway on-ramps, ensuring continuous outbound access during peak race activity. Once the race clears North Main Street at approximately 9:15 a.m., each quadrant of Grand Boulevard will reopen sequentially as participants progress along the course. Main Street freeway exits (eastbound and westbound) will be closed from 7:00 to 9:30 a.m. to support safe race operations.

Emergency access will always be maintained via North Main, East Sixth, and South Main, with officers authorized to briefly pause runners or walkers to allow emergency vehicles to cross the course safely.

Following the race, a post event celebration will take place on the Historic Civic Center front lawn from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The festivities will include the finish line and awards area, sponsor and exhibitor booths, DJ entertainment, food vendors, and a beer garden, creating an engaging and welcoming environment for both runners and spectators.

Compliance with Chapter 12.32 of the Corona Municipal Code will be required, including permits, insurance, public notification of street closures, and coordination with City departments to ensure public safety and effective traffic management. Hosting the event on Grand Boulevard offers a unique opportunity to honor Corona’s historic road races, but it requires year-round, cross-departmental collaboration, particularly with Police, Public Works, Fire, and Community Services.

The City has also negotiated a shared revenue model with OC Marathon for sponsorships, exhibitors, and Corona 5000 registration fees. Under the proposed agreement, the City will receive 25% of revenue generated from sponsors and exhibitors.

In addition, the City will receive an increasing percentage of Corona 5000 registration fee revenues over the term of the agreement, as follows:
 Year 1: 5%
 Year 2: 7.5%
 Year 3: 10%
This incremental revenue-sharing structure provides the City with an opportunity to increase its share of event-generated revenues as the Corona 5000 continues to grow. With continued outreach and strong interdepartmental coordination, the Corona 5000 Road Race is expected to generate positive community engagement while meeting regulatory standards and public expectations.

COMMISSION ACTION:

On August 11, 2026, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a report on the Corona 5000 Road Race. Following the report, a motion was made by Commissioner Munoz and seconded by Commissioner McBride to recommend approval of the

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OC Marathon, LLC for the Corona 5000 Road Race. The motion passed 5-0.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funding for the recommended actions is included in the FY 2027 Community Services Department Operating Budget within General Fund (FD_1110). Funding for future fiscal years will be recommended through the annual budget process. The financial impact to the City will primarily consist of in-kind services, staffing, and resources, with any municipal costs related to public safety, traffic control, facility use, logistical support, and the post-event celebration reimbursed from the $25,000 annual allocation. The event is structured as a partnership with OC Marathon, LLC., which will assume financial responsibility for race production, registration, marketing, and participant amenities. The City has further negotiated an incremental shared revenue model for sponsorships and ticket sales with OC Marathon.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to approve a Memorandum of OC Marathon LLC for the Corona 5000 Road Race, and there is no possibility that approving this agreement will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

ORDINANCE AMENDING CORONA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.34
(SOLICITORS) AND A RESOLUTION UPDATING THE ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES

SCHEDULE FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE CORONA MUNICIPAL CODE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to consider the adoption of Ordinance No. 3432, which amends Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 5.34 (Solicitors) to strengthen and clarify the regulations for door-to-door solicitation within the City, and to consider the approval of Resolution No. 2026-087, to amend the City’s administrative penalties schedule and increase the penalties for violations of CMC 5.34. These amendments are intended to promote more positive interactions between solicitors and residents and to expand protections against aggressive solicitations.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Introduce, by title only, and waive full reading for consideration of Ordinance No. 3432, first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 5.34 of the Corona Municipal Code to update the regulations for solicitors.
b. Approve Resolution No. 2026-087 amending the Administrative Penalties Schedule for violations of the Corona Municipal Code on the date that Ordinance No. 3432 becomes effective.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 5.34 establishes a permitting and regulatory program for solicitations in the City, in an effort to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents in the City. At its meeting on July 1, 2026, the City Council considered Vice Mayor Speake’s request to update the City’s solicitor regulations to address the following issues:

1. Clarification of “Solicitation” Definition

2. Strengthening “No Soliciting” Protections

3. Graduated Administrative Penalty Structure

4. Transparency and Field Verification of Solicitors

5. Permit Enforcement and Revocation Triggers

6. Do Not Solicit Registry

7. Public Education and Compliance Awareness
The City Council directed staff to return with an ordinance amending certain sections of CMC Chapter 5.34 and the Administrative Penalties Schedule to encourage positive interactions between residents and solicitors, and to expand the protections against aggressive solicitations.

ANALYSIS:

The solicitor regulations in CMC Chapter 5.34 impose reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on solicitation in a content-neutral manner, while respecting the constitutional rights to free speech for all citizens. The solicitor regulations allow individuals to determine their comfort level and privacy, as to whether or not they want to receive solicitations.

As directed by the City Council, the following changes are being proposed to the City’s Municipal Code and Administrative Penalties Schedule to increase the effectiveness of the regulations for solicitations:
o Amend the definition of “solicitor” to make it clear that it includes “lead generators” (i.e., persons who collect information for the purpose of connecting persons with providers of services, goods, or merchandise). o Clarify that attempting to engage in solicitations at locations that have “No Soliciting” or “No Trespassing” signs posted is considered aggressive soliciting, and is subject to increased penalties.
o Clarify that aggressive solicitations can result in permits being revoked after just one violation, and clarify that other violations of the solicitor regulations can result in permits being revoked after three violations within any 12- month period.

o Add a requirement for solicitors to wear, in a visible location, identification cards issued by the City that contain the solicitor’s name, photo, permit number, and the name of the solicitor’s employer.
o Update the Administrative Penalties Schedule with increased fines for violations of CMC 5.34 and greater fines for aggressive soliciting:

CMC

5.34.160
Aggressive
Soliciting
Existing $100 $200 $500
Proposed $1,000 $1,500 $1,500
In addition to the above changes, the Planning and Development Department is undertaking operational enhancements to regulate and enforce these activities. In 2024, an operational adjustment was made to transfer the permitting of solicitors from the Police Department to the Planning and Development Department, streamlining the permitting process for solicitors and sidewalk vendors. The enforcement of these activities has remained a collaborative effort between the two departments. The Planning and Development Department has recently done additional cross-training with the Police Department to increase collaboration and effectiveness in responding to calls for service related to solicitations. In addition, the Planning and Development Department has created shared resources for both departments to track solicitor permits and violations.

For field verification of solicitors, it was recommended that solicitors carry with them physical identification cards to increase transparency. As recommended by the City Council, the identification cards will not include the City’s logo, in an effort to prevent a solicitor from posing as a City employee. Staff will develop the identification cards so that they are visually identifiable, standardized (all cards look the same), and will include verification features, such as the solicitor’s name, the solicitor’s employer, a photo, and the permit number. The cost for a City issued identification card will be included in the permit fee.

For public education awareness and outreach, staff will update the Planning and Development Department’s website page and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), as well as the Solicitor Permit application, to inform the public and applicants about the updated requirements and penalties for solicitor violations.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no direct financial impact associated with the approval of these recommended actions. Any potential fine revenue will vary depending on the volume of applicable transactions. Upon approval and the effective date of the resolution, the Administrative

Schedule in the City’s Master Fee Recovery Schedule will be updated to be consistent with the Administrative Penalties Schedule.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action involves minor clarifying revisions to the CMC, and amendments to the administrative penalties schedule for violations of the CMC, which will not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2025-0002 TO ESTABLISH A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY DESIGNED AS AN 81-FOOT-HIGH BALLFIELD

LIGHT POLE WITH ASSOCIATED GROUND-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT WITHIN

CITRUS COMMUNITY PARK
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to affirm the decision by the Planning and Housing Commission to grant Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2025-0002, which is a request to replace an existing 81-foot-tall ballfield light pole with a new ballfield light pole (“tower”) of the same height, within Citrus Community Park. Antennas and associated equipment would be mounted onto the tower. The project also includes the installation of supportive, ground-mounted equipment, fully enclosed by an eight-foot-high block wall with creeping vines planted around its perimeter.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Take no action, thereby affirming the Planning and Housing Commission’s action granting CUP2025-0002, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.

OR

b. Set the item for review at a subsequent meeting.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Citrus Community Park is approximately 19.83 acres and bounded by Santana Way to the west, Taber Street to the north, Rimpau Avenue to the east, residential properties to the south, and an elementary school to the southwest. Residential homes surround the park on all sides. The City of Corona owns Citrus Community Park, with the Community Services Department responsible for its operations and oversight.

ANALYSIS:

Conditional Use Permit 2025-0002 (CUP2025-0002) is a request by Nuwave International Industrials (“Applicant”), on behalf of Verizon, to replace an existing 81-foot-tall ballfield light pole with a new ballfield light pole (“tower”) of the same height. The tower would be located six feet from the original structure’s location. Nine antennas and nine radio remote units (RRUs) are proposed for mounting on the tower at approximately 60 to 73 feet above ground level.

The tower is proposed for construction at the approximate center of Citrus Community Park. The proposed location meets the minimum setback requirements prescribed by the Corona Vista Specific Plan for the property’s Open Space & Recreation zoning designation, which are summarized in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – Open Space & Recreation Zone Development Standards Standard Required Proposed Compliance
Minimum setback
from a street
20 feet 512 feet from Taber Street Yes
Minimum setback

parcels
50 feet More than 300 feet from
Santana Way and Rimpau
Avenue
Yes
Maximum Height 30 feet 80 feet and 7 inches Permissible with the approval of a
CUP
Associated with the tower are supportive, ground-mounted mechanical equipment, which will be placed within an enclosed eight-foot-high concrete block wall located in the park, approximately 146 feet north of the tower. The equipment includes an emergency generator, battery, and cabinets. Creeping vines are proposed for placement around the perimeter of the enclosure to soften its appearance.

The tower will also serve as a functional ballfield light pole and will include seven luminaires intended to illuminate the adjacent soccer field. To further minimize the tower’s visual impact, a condition of approval has been imposed requiring that the antennas and all associated equipment be painted to match the pole's color and finish, thereby enhancing the stealth design and reducing the visibility of the telecommunications components.

Access to the site is via Santana Way. A service technician for Verizon is expected to visit the site periodically throughout the year for routine maintenance and will use one to two parking spaces in the park's parking lot. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways nor traffic.

Parks and Recreation Commission
The Parks and Recreation Commission also reviewed the project at its May 12, 2026 meeting, and recommended installing a metal security cage over the equipment enclosure. The Applicant has agreed to make the improvement, and a condition of approval has been included.

Alternative Site Analysis
Existing Verizon coverage in the project area is poor, with coverage gaps near Foothill Parkway. The applicant evaluated nearby placement opportunities but determined that existing wireless telecommunications facilities are outside the target service area, and placement on residential properties is not permissible under City regulations. Citrus Community Park was therefore identified as the only feasible location to improve wireless coverage.

Regulations Governing Telecommunications Facilities
Wireless telecommunications facilities are regulated by federal, state, and local laws.

While the City may regulate location, design, and aesthetics, federal law prohibits the denial of a compliant facility based on health concerns about Radio Frequency (RF) emissions. The project's RF Emission Compliance Report demonstrates compliance with applicable Federal Communications Commission’s exposure standards, and RF warning signage will be installed for maintenance personnel.

The proposed tower is designed as a dual-purpose ballfield light pole with concealed ground-mounted supporting equipment, consistent with the City's adopted Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities.

The project complies with applicable standards, including setback requirements prescribed by the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) and federal RF regulations, and is not expected to generate significant traffic impacts on surrounding roadways.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The applicant paid the application processing fees of $9,352.14 to cover the cost of the Conditional Use Permit.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

A preliminary exemption assessment has been conducted by the City of Corona in accordance with Section 15303 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.38 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, and determined that the project meets criteria for a Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) categorical exemption as it involves the installation of new wireless telecommunications equipment and associated ground equipment within a

limited area. The project represents a small utility installation and does not result in a significant expansion of the existing use of the site. Moreover, none of the six Exceptions to Exemptions cited in Section 15300.2 are applicable to the proposed project.

PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION:

At its July 6, 2026 meeting, the Planning and Housing Commission considered the subject matter and took the following action:

Motion was made, seconded (Longwell/Alexander), and carried with Commissioner Vernon voting “No” and Vice Chair Siqueland and Commissioner Woody absent, that the Planning and Housing Commission find the project exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and adopt Resolution No. 2690 granting CUP2025-0002, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval. The minutes of the Planning and Housing Commission meeting are included as Exhibit 4.

APPLICATION REQUEST:

CUP2025-0002: Conditional Use Permit to establish a wireless telecommunications facility designed as an 81-foot-high ballfield light pole with ground-mounted equipment within Citrus Community Park, located at 1250 Santana Way (Applicant: Rinn Ngeth for Nuwave International Industries, 1875 Coronado Avenue, Signal Hill, CA 90755) RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission adopt Resolution No. 2690, finding the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines, and granting CUP2025-0002 based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nuwave International Industries (“Applicant”), on behalf of Verizon Wireless, is requesting that the Planning and Housing Commission review and consider approval of a wireless telecommunications facility proposed at Citrus Community Park, located at 1250 Santana Way.

The equipment includes an emergency generator, battery, and cabinets. Creeping vines are proposed to be placed around the perimeter of the enclosure to soften its appearance.

The tower will also serve as a functional ballfield light pole and includes seven luminaires intended to provide illumination for the adjacent soccer field. To further minimize the tower’s visual impact, a condition of approval has been imposed requiring that the antennas and all associated equipment be painted to match the color and finish of the pole, thereby enhancing the stealth design and reducing the visibility of the telecommunications components.

Access to the site is obtained via Santana Way. A service technician for Verizon is anticipated to visit the site periodically throughout the year for routine maintenance and will utilize one to two parking spaces within the parking lot of the park. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways in terms of traffic.

Parks and Recreation Commission
The applicant’s proposal was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission at its meeting on May 12, 2026. The Commission made a recommendation for a metal cage to be installed atop the equipment enclosure to secure the equipment. The Applicant has agreed to make the improvement and a condition of approval has been included within Exhibit 4.

Alternative Site Analysis
Coverage for current Verizon customers located south of California Avenue between Ontario Avenue and Foothill Parkway is mostly poor, with pockets of “no coverage” near Foothill Parkway (Exhibit 6). Prior to selecting Citrus Community Park, the Applicant evaluated other potential sites in the vicinity of the target service area for collocation opportunity.

The Applicant submitted a Collocation Feasibility Letter (Exhibit 5) which shows the location of Verizon’s search ring area and identifies the most optimal location for a wireless facility to provide adequate signal strength, coverage, and capacity to improve service in the area. The search ring encompasses all of Citrus Community Park and the surrounding residential properties. Exhibit 5 also shows the location of nearby wireless facilities, with the closest facility located in a shopping center north of the project property. Because the existing wireless facilities are located outside of Verizon’s target service area, the Applicant determined that collocation on any of the existing facilities are not suitable. Placing a wireless telecommunications facility on a residential property developed with a residential dwelling is also not an option, as this is prohibited by the City. As the surrounding area is predominantly residential, the Applicant determined that Citrus Community Park is the viable location to place the proposed facility in order to provide significant improvement in cellular coverage and to address the existing coverage gap.

Regulations Governing Telecommunications Facilities
Wireless telecommunications facilities are regulated by federal, state, and local laws. In California, local agencies such as Corona have the authority to regulate the location, height, design, and aesthetic impacts of wireless facilities, subject to limitations established under federal law, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996. These limitations include Section 704 of the Act, which is codified in Title 47 Section 332(c)(7)(B)(iv) of the United States Code, which limits the City’s ability to regulate wireless facilities based on concerns about the health effects of Radio Frequency (RF) emissions to humans. If the proposed facility complies with the Federal Communications Commission’s standards for RF emissions under Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the City cannot deny or condition the project based on concerns related to environmental or health effects from RF emissions.

According to the project’s RF Emission Compliance Report (Exhibit 8), the proposed wireless telecommunications facility will be in compliance with RF Exposure Limits stated in Title 47 of the CFR and will not expose members of the general public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or adjacent buildings. Per the report, RF signage will be placed on the pole to alert authorized personnel who may be conducting work or maintenance on the antenna.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site, as well as advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News and posted at the project site.

As of the preparation of this report, staff has received one item of correspondence from a resident, expressing concern regarding the operation and location of the proposed tower.

The correspondence is attached as Exhibit 9.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed tower will serve as both a wireless telecommunications facility and ballfield light pole to illuminate the park. The facility’s design is consistent with the park’s environment, which mimics other ballfield light poles in the Park. All tower-mounted equipment is required to be painted to match the color of the light pole to enhance the stealth design and reduce the visibility of the antenna components. As such, the project complies with the City’s adopted Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities, which require wireless telecommunications facilities to be designed as indistinguishable from their surrounding environment.

The wireless facility meets the applicable development standards including the minimum setback requirements prescribed by the Corona Vista Specific Plan. The facility is also subject to all applicable standards imposed by federal law, including RF emissions limits.

The project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways in terms of traffic.

Therefore, staff recommends approval of CUP2025-0002, subject to the findings of approval outlined below and the recommended conditions of approval attached as Exhibit 4.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR CUP2025-0002

1. A preliminary exemption assessment has been conducted by the City of Corona in accordance with Section 15303 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.38 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, and determined that the project meets criteria for a Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) categorical exemption as it involves the installation of new wireless telecommunications equipment and associated ground equipment within a limited area. The project represents a small utility installation and does not result in a significant expansion of the existing use of the

site. Moreover, none of the six Exceptions to Exemptions cited in Section 15300.2 are applicable to the proposed project.

2. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(a) of the CMC, the proposed use will not be detrimental to public health, safety, convenience and general welfare and will be in harmony with the various elements and objectives in the City’s General Plan for the following reason:
a. The proposal will not be detrimental to public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare because any radio frequency emissions from such installation are governed by limits placed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for human exposure. The proposed telecommunications facility is also required to adhere to FCC regulations, and the applicant shall obtain all required permits from local and federal agencies prior to construction.

3. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(b) of the CMC, the proposed use is not detrimental to other existing and permitted uses in the general area of the project site, and it relates properly to the surrounding roadways for the following reasons:
a. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility is in compliance with the development standards of the Open Space and Recreation zone of the Corona Vista Specific Plan and the City’s Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities. The facility complies with the setback requirements of the underlying zone and has been designed to minimize visual impacts while blending (to the greatest extent feasible) with the surrounding environment.
b. CUP2025-0002 will not impact the existing circulation system because a service technician will visit the site periodically throughout the year for routine maintenance and will utilize a parking space within the parking lot and sufficient parking is provided at the project site to accommodate this activity.

Therefore, the proposed use will not impact the level of service on the surrounding streets.

4. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(c) of the CMC, reasonable conditions of approval have been imposed on the proposed use to protect public health, safety, and welfare in accordance with the intent and purpose of the City’s zoning regulations for the following reason:
a. Conditions of approval have been levied to protect public health, safety, and welfare and in accordance with the intent and purpose of the Open Space and

Recreation zone of the Corona Vista Specific Plan and Chapter 17.65 (Telecommunications Facilities) of the Corona Municipal Code.

5. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(d) of the CMC, the exercise of the proposed use adheres to all property development standards of the zone in which said use is conditionally permitted for the following reasons:
a. The location of the telecommunications facility on the project site meets all building setbacks as required by the Open Space and Recreation zone of the Corona Vista Specific Plan.
b. The 81-foot-tall telecommunications facility is consistent with the applicable development standards of the Open Space and Recreation zone of the Corona Vista Specific Plan and the requirements of Title 17 because CMC Sections

17.65.060(a) and 17.92.030 allow the height of the telecommunications facility to exceed the maximum height prescribed by the property’s underlying zone with approval of a conditional use permit.
c. The appearance of the telecommunications facility as a ballfield light pole meets the requirements of the design guidelines and standards adopted pursuant to CMC Section 17.65.090 as it would serve to make the facility as indistinguishable from the surrounding environment and the equipment affiliated with the telecommunications facility will be screened by an approximate eight-foot-tall block wall enclosure.

Project Name: Verizon NSB: Chase Drive
Project Number: CUP2025-002
Site Address: 1250 Santana Way (APN: 120-370-017)
Verizon Collocation Feasibility Narrative
Dear Planning Staff,
As indicated on the enclosed exhibit, there are no existing wireless facilities, within (or immediately outside/adjacent) the Verizon RF Engineer’s search ring area, that could be collocated upon. The existing wireless facilities are depicted by the red and blue dots. All of the existing wireless facilities are located too far from the coverage gap area (red circle).

Collocating upon those facilities would not provide adequate signal strength, coverage or capacity to the service gap area if collocation were attempted. Collocation on the farremoved existing facilities improve or address the current coverage objectives of this search ring/service area.

In light of the absence of existing wireless facilities to collocate upon, Verizon has proposed to locate a new facility in the City of Corona’s Citrus Community Park. As shown on the antenna location map, the project area lacks nearby, existing wireless infrastructure, and the proposed park light pole location is centrally positioned within the coverage gap area.

Verizon is utilizing existing infrastructure in the park, by removing an existing park light standard, and replacing it with a new Musco light that can accommodate wireless equipment. It is less visually intrusive to remove an existing park light standard and replacing it with a new Musco light for wireless equipment, than installing a new wireless monopole/light standard at a new location in the City park. The deployment of the new Verizon wireless facility will improve coverage to the search ring area, and address the signal and service needs of the surrounding residential uses.

7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Compliance Statement
Based on information provided by Verizon Wireless and predictive modeling, the CHASE DRIVE installation proposed by Verizon Wireless will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. RF alerting signage and restricting access to the antenna to authorized personnel that have completed RF safety training is required for Occupational environment compliance. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.

Certification
I, Tim Alexander, am the reviewer and approver of this
report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in
accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have
reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment
report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

General Summary
The compliance framework is derived from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons may not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.

In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows:

𝑆 =
𝐸𝐼𝑅𝑃
4⋅𝜋⋅𝑅2
(mW/cm2)
Where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as 𝑆 = (
180
𝜃𝐵𝑊
) ⋅
100 ⋅ 𝑃𝑖𝑛
𝜋 ⋅ 𝑅 ⋅ ℎ
(mW/cm2)
Where Pin is the power input to the antenna, BW is the horizontal pattern beamwidth and h is the aperture length.

Some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. In the analysis presented herein, predicted exposure levels are based on all beams at full utilization (i.e. full power) simultaneously focused in any direction. As this condition is unlikely to occur, the actual power density levels at ground and at adjacent structures are expected to be less that the levels reported below. These theoretical results represent maximum-case predictions as all RF emitters are assumed to be operating at maximum duty cycle.

For any area in excess of 100% General Population MPE, access controls with appropriate RF alerting signage must be put in place and maintained to restrict access to authorized personnel. Signage must be posted to be visible upon approach from any direction to provide notification of potential conditions within these areas.

Subject to other site security requirements, occupational personnel should be trained in RF safety and equipped with personal protective equipment (e.g. RF personal monitor) designed for safe work in the vicinity of RF emitters. Controls such as physical barriers to entry imposed by locked doors, hatches and ladders or other access control mechanisms may be supplemented by alarms that alert the individual and notify site management of a breach in access control. Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends that any work activity in these designated areas or in front of any transmitting antennas be coordinated with all wireless tenants.

Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas.

For accessible areas at ground level and incident at adjacent structures, the maximum predicted RF power density level resulting from all operations is depicted in Figure 2. The proposed operations will not expose members of the public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings

FROM: Eduardo Galdamez, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Revised Project Plans for Public Hearing Item No. 6.1, CUP2025-0002 Following preparation of the staff report for Item No. 6.1 (Conditional Use Permit CUP2025-0002) of this evening’s (July 6) Planning Commission hearing, the applicant informed staff that the pole of the proposed telecommunication facility (light pole) will have a wider base, with a maximum width of 36 inches (compared to the existing pole which has a base measuring 14 inches). According to the applicant, the wider width in the new pole is needed to accommodate coaxial cables that will run through the inside of the pole and support the weight of the transmission equipment. In addition, the mounted antenna configuration had been revised with the largest antennas relocated to the lowest RAD center height (essentially “flipping” the previous configuration). No change is proposed to the number of antennas nor to the overall height of the proposed tower. The applicant has provided revised plans illustrating the proposed facility and which are attached as Exhibit 1. Staff also requested photo-simulations to better visualize the updated design, but the applicant will be unable to provide these materials before the hearing.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY

IN KELLOGG PARK
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to affirm the decision by the Planning and Housing Commission to grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a 65-foot-tall wireless telecommunications facility, disguised as a pine tree (“monopine”), within Kellogg Park.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Take no action, thereby affirming the Planning and Housing Commission’s action granting CUP2025-0003, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.

OR
b. Set the item for review at a subsequent meeting.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Kellogg Park is approximately 4.5 acres and surrounded by residential development. The City of Corona owns Kellogg Park, with the Community Services Department responsible for its operations and oversight. The new monopine is proposed to be constructed within the development footprint of a previous monopine, which was removed in 2016.

ANALYSIS:

CUP2025-0003 is a request by Nuwave International Industrials (“Applicant”), on behalf of Verizon, to construct of a 65-foot-tall monopine at Kellogg Park that provides cellular coverage for Verizon customers in the vicinity.

The proposed monopine would be located at the center of Kellogg Park, within the approximate footprint of a previously approved, now removed, monopine. An existing, fully enclosed building previously used for storage and screening of the former tower’s accessory equipment remains and would again be used to store equipment associated with the new monopine. The backup generator for the monopine will be stored within a new 336-square-foot enclosure surrounded by a nine-foot and six-inch high decorative block wall.

The monopine features a support pole as its “trunk,” containing three mounted antenna sectors holding a total of 12 antenna panels, nine remote radio units (RRUs), and a single microwave antenna, all located between 45 and 62 feet above finished ground. Faux branches would extend outward to conceal the equipment. All antennas would be painted green and covered with textured "pine needle socks" intended to blend with the foliage.

A condition of approval has been included requiring that the screening elements be maintained in good condition, with any faded or failing elements replaced at the City’s direction and discretion.

The monopine complies with the minimum setbacks prescribed by the Park zone, as summarized in Table 1 below.

Table 1 – Park Zone Development Standards (CMC Chapter 17.61) Development Standard Required Proposed Complies?
Front Setback (Kellogg) 50 Feet 421 Feet Yes

Access to the site is via Kellogg Avenue. A Verizon service technician is expected to visit the site periodically throughout the year for routine maintenance and will use one to two parking spaces in the park's parking lot. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways nor traffic.

Parks and Recreation Commission
The project was also reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission at its meeting on May 12, 2026. The Commission raised no concerns regarding the monopine’s proposed location or design.

Alternative Site Analysis
The applicant evaluated the feasibility of the monopine being placed at other nearby sites.

However, alternate locations were not optimal, given the nearest Verizon facility, located one-half mile away from the proposed location, would not be able to provide the necessary coverage for the target area. The City prohibits telecommunications facilities within residentially zoned properties with developed residential dwellings, and there is no commercially zoned land within Verizon’s large service area. Therefore, Kellogg Park is the only feasible location for this installation.

Regulations Governing Telecommunications Facilities
Wireless telecommunications facilities are regulated by federal, state, and local laws.

While the City may regulate location, design, and aesthetics, federal law prohibits the denial of a compliant facility based on health concerns about Radio Frequency (RF) emissions. The project's RF Emission Compliance Report demonstrates compliance with applicable Federal Communications Commission’s exposure standards, and RF warning signage will be installed for maintenance personnel.

The proposed monopine is a stealth structure designed as a faux tree, consistent with the City’s adopted Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities. The project complies with applicable standards, including setback requirements prescribed by the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) and federal RF regulations, and is not expected to generate significant traffic impacts on surrounding roadways.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The applicant paid the application processing fees of $9,352.14 to cover the cost of the Conditional Use Permit.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Per Section 15303 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.38 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared as the project qualifies as a Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) categorical exemption in that it proposes a structure (a new cell tower and accessory equipment) that would be permissible to the existing, primary use of the lot as a public park. Moreover, none of the six exceptions to exemptions cited in Guidelines Section 15300.2 (a–f) are applicable to the proposed project.

PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION:

At the July 6, 2026 meeting, the Planning and Housing Commission considered the subject matter and took the following action:

Motion was made, seconded (Longwell/Vernon), and carried unanimously, with Vice Chair Siqueland and Commissioner Woody absent, that the Planning and Housing Commission find the project exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and adopt Resolution No. 2691 granting CUP2025-0003, based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval. The minutes of the Planning and Housing Commission meeting are included as Exhibit 4.

APPLICATION REQUEST:

CUP2025-0003: Conditional Use Permit to establish a 65-foot-tall wireless telecommunications facility disguised as a pine tree, in conjunction with placement of related ground-mounted equipment, within Kellogg Park, located at 1645 Kellogg Avenue (Applicant: Rinn Ngeth for Nuwave Communications, 1875 Coronado Avenue, Signal Hill, CA 90755).

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission adopt Resolution No. 2691, finding the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines and granting CUP2025-0003 based on the findings contained in the staff report and conditions of approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nuwave International Industries (“Applicant”), on behalf of Verizon Wireless, is requesting that the Planning and Housing Commission review and consider approval of a new wireless telecommunications facility at Kellogg Park designed to appear as a 65-foot-tall faux tree (“monopine”), in addition to accessory equipment located both within a new walled enclosure and an existing accessory building.

BACKGROUND
The new facility would be located within the development footprint of a previous tower removed in 2016.

The 4.5-acre project site is currently developed as Kellogg Park and is surrounded by residential development. The City of Corona is the owner of Kellogg Park, with the Community Services Department responsible for its operations and oversight.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CUP2025-0003 proposes construction of a new, 65-foot-tall telecommunications facility disguised as a monopine at Kellogg Park, designed and placed to provide cellular coverage for Verizon customers in the vicinity.

As shown in the project Site Plan (Exhibit 3, Sheets A0 and A2), the proposed monopine is proposed at the center of Kellogg Park, within the approximate footprint of a previously approved (now removed) monopine. An existing, fully enclosed building previously utilized for storage and screening of the former tower’s accessory equipment remains and would again be utilized for storage of equipment associated with the new monopine. A backup generator for the monopine will be stored within a new 336-square-foot enclosure surrounded by a nine-foot and six-inch high decorative block wall.

The monopine features a support pole as its “trunk,” and would contain three mounted antenna sectors holding a total of 12 antenna panels, nine remote radio units (RRUs) and a single microwave antenna, all located between 45 and 62 feet above finished grade. Faux branches would extend outward to conceal the equipment. All antennas would be painted green and covered with textured "pine needle socks" intended to blend with the foliage. A condition of approval has been included requiring the screening elements be maintained in good condition, with any faded or failing elements to be replaced at the City’s direction.

Exhibit 6 contains layout plans, elevations, and photo simulations.

The monopine complies with the minimum setbacks prescribed by the Park zone, as summarized in the following table.

*Greater heights may be permitted per CMC Section 17.65.060(a) Access to the site is obtained via Kellogg Avenue. A service technician for Verizon is anticipated to visit the site periodically throughout the year for routine maintenance and will utilize one to two parking spaces within the parking lot of the park. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways in terms of traffic.

Project History
The following table provides an overview of the history of Telecommunication Facilities within Kellogg Park, summarizing key events, approvals, and changes related to wireless infrastructure at the site.

Kellogg Park Telecommunication Facility History
Year Description
2006 Sprint receives approval via Zoning Administrator ZA05-023 – and ultimately builds - a 35-foot-tall monopine and associated equipment building. 2011 T-Mobile (now Sprint) receives approval via CUP10-020 to increase the monopine’s height to 48 feet, allowing colocation of new antennas. 2016 Monopine decommissioned and removed from the site. Associated (now vacant) equipment building remains.
2019 CUP2018-0012 approved to build a new monopine at Kellogg Park for Sprint, 49 feet in height, and in the same location as the decommissioned facility. Building permits submitted but ultimately withdrawn and the tower was never constructed.

Parks and Recreation Commission
The project was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission at its May 12, 2026, meeting. While the Commissioners had several questions about the operations of the facility, no concerns were expressed regarding the monopine’s proposed location or design.

Alternative Site Analysis
In compliance with CMC Section 17.65.070, the applicant provided information, both written and in the form of illustrative propagation maps, to demonstrate an existing cellular coverage gap to justify the need for telecommunications facility in the vicinity of Kellogg Park. In summary, collocation was explored but ultimately rejected as the nearest Verizon facility is located one-half mile away, precluding the signal performance necessary to reduce the identified gap in coverage. Pursuant to the CMC, telecommunications facilities are not permitted to be located on a residentially zoned property developed with a residential dwelling, and no commercially zoned land exists within Verizon’s large service

area, rendering Kellogg Park (a property zoned to permit telecommunication facilities with approval of a CUP) as the only feasible location for placement of the tower. As stated, a similar tower was approved in approximately the same location within the park in 2006 and 2019 for carrier Sprint.

Regulations Governing Telecommunications Facilities
Wireless telecommunications facilities are regulated by federal, state, and local laws. In California, local agencies such as Corona have the authority to regulate the location, height, design, and aesthetic impacts of wireless facilities, subject to limitations established under federal law, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996. These limitations include Section 704 of the Act, which is codified in Title 47 Section 332(c)(7)(B)(iv) of the United States Code, which limits the City’s ability to regulate wireless facilities based on concerns about the health effects of Radio Frequency (RF) emissions to humans. If the proposed facility complies with the Federal Communications Commission’s standards for RF emissions under Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the City cannot deny or condition the project based on concerns related to environmental or health effects from RF emissions.

According to the project’s RF Emission Compliance Report (Exhibit 7), the facility will be in compliance with RF Exposure Limits stated in Title 47 of the Federal Code of Regulations and will not expose members of the general public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or adjacent buildings. Per the report, RF signage will be placed on the pole to alert authorized personnel who may be conducting work or maintenance on the antenna.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site, as well as advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News and posted at the project site.

As of the preparation of this report, staff has received one item of correspondence from a resident, expressing various concerns regarding the design and location of the proposed tower in proximity to residential development. The correspondence is attached as Exhibit 9.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Telecommunications facilities are permitted in the Park zone with approval of a CUP, subject to the development standards for the Park zone and the City’s adopted Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities, the latter prescribing both standards and recommendations for facility siting, design and screening. As proposed, the monopine complies with all applicable requirements, including the minimum setback requirements prescribed by the CMC for the Park zone. Further, the facility is subject to all applicable standards imposed by federal law, including RF emissions limits. The project is not anticipated to impact the surrounding roadways in terms of traffic.

Therefore, staff recommends approval of CUP2025-0003, subject to the findings of approval outlined below and the recommended conditions of approval attached as Exhibit 4.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR CUP2025-0003

1. Per Section 15303 of the State Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.38 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption has been prepared as the project qualifies as a Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) categorical exemption in that it proposes a structure (a new cell tower and accessory equipment) that would be ancillary to the existing, primary use of the lot as a public park. Moreover, none of the six exceptions to exemptions cited in Guidelines Section 15300.2 (a–f) are applicable to the proposed project.

2. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(a) of the CMC, the proposed use will not be detrimental to public health, safety, convenience and general welfare and will be in harmony with the various elements and objectives in the city’s General Plan for the following reasons:
a. The proposal will not be detrimental to public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare because any radio frequency emissions from such installation are governed by limits placed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for human exposure. The proposed telecommunications facility is also required to adhere to FCC regulations, and the applicant shall obtain all required permits from local and federal agencies prior to construction.

3. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(b) of the CMC, the proposed use is not detrimental to the other existing and permitted uses in the general area of the project site, and it relates properly to the surrounding roadways for the following reasons:
a. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility is in compliance with the development standards established by the Corona Municipal Code for the Park zone and the City’s Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities. The facility complies with the setback requirements of the underlying zone and has been designed to resemble a pine tree to minimize visual impacts while blending (to the greatest extent feasible) with the surrounding environment.
b. The wireless telecommunications facility is required to meet FCC regulations, and the building standards of the California Building Code in order not to impact the use of the project site and the uses surrounding the project site.

c. The wireless telecommunications facility will not impact the existing circulation system because a service technician will only be visiting the site periodically throughout the year, and the site provides access through Kellogg Avenue to accommodate such activity.

4. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(c) of the CMC, reasonable conditions of approval have been imposed on the proposed use to protect public health, safety, and welfare and to ensure compliance with the applicable rules and regulations for telecommunications facilities, the development standards of the P (Park and School District) Zone, the requirements of Chapter 17.65, Telecommunications Facilities, and compliance with the Location, Development, and Design Guidelines and Standards for Telecommunications Facilities.

5. Pursuant to Section 17.92.110(d) of the CMC, the exercise of the proposed use adheres to all property development standards of the zone in which said use is conditionally permitted for the following reasons:
a. The location of the telecommunications facility on the project site meets all building setbacks as required by the P (Park and School District) Zone b. The 65-foot-tall telecommunications facility is consistent with the Park zoning requirements of Title 17 because CMC Sections 17.65.060(a) and 17.92.030 allows the height of the telecommunications facility to exceed the maximum height prescribed by the property’s underlying zone with approval of a conditional use permit.
c. The appearance of the telecommunications facility as a mono-pine tree meets the requirements of the design guidelines and standards adopted pursuant to CMC Section 17.65.090 as it would serve to make the facility indistinguishable from the surrounding environment and the equipment affiliated with the telecommunications facility will be screened by an approximate nine-foot-tall block wall enclosure and 336-square-foot enclosed equipment shelter.

7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Compliance Statement
Based on information provided by Verizon Wireless and predictive modeling, the GARRETSON installation proposed by Verizon Wireless will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. RF alerting signage and restricting access to the antenna to authorized personnel that have completed RF safety training is required for Occupational environment compliance. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.

Certification
I, Tim Alexander, am the reviewer and approver of this
report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in
accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have
reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment
report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

General Summary
The compliance framework is derived from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons may not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.

In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows:

𝑆 =
𝐸𝐼𝑅𝑃
4⋅𝜋⋅𝑅2
(mW/cm2)
Where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as 𝑆 = (
180
𝜃𝐵𝑊
) ⋅
100 ⋅ 𝑃𝑖𝑛
𝜋 ⋅ 𝑅 ⋅ ℎ
(mW/cm2)
Where Pin is the power input to the antenna, BW is the horizontal pattern beamwidth and h is the aperture length.

Some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. In the analysis presented herein, predicted exposure levels are based on all beams at full utilization (i.e. full power) simultaneously focused in any direction. As this condition is unlikely to occur, the actual power density levels at ground and at adjacent structures are expected to be less that the levels reported below. These theoretical results represent maximum-case predictions as all RF emitters are assumed to be operating at maximum duty cycle.

For any area in excess of 100% General Population MPE, access controls with appropriate RF alerting signage must be put in place and maintained to restrict access to authorized personnel. Signage must be posted to be visible upon approach from any direction to provide notification of potential conditions within these areas.

Subject to other site security requirements, occupational personnel should be trained in RF safety and equipped with personal protective equipment (e.g. RF personal monitor) designed for safe work in the vicinity of RF emitters. Controls such as physical barriers to entry imposed by locked doors, hatches and ladders or other access control mechanisms may be supplemented by alarms that alert the individual and notify site management of a breach in access control. Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends that any work activity in these designated areas or in front of any transmitting antennas be coordinated with all wireless tenants.

Verizon Wireless proposes the following installation at this location shown in Figure 1:
• (12) VERIZON WIRELESS PANEL ANTENNAS
• (9) VERIZON WIRELESS REMOTE RADIO UNITS BEHIND ANTENNAS (RRUs) • (1) VERIZON WIRELESS 2'-0" MICROWAVE ANTENNA
The antennas will be mounted on a Monopine with centerlines at 55’ above ground level. Proposed antenna operating parameters are listed in Appendix A. Other appurtenances such as GPS antennas, RRUs and hybrid cable below the antennas are not sources of RF emissions. No other antennas are known to be operating in the vicinity of this site.

Figure 1: Antenna Locations
Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas.

For accessible areas at ground level and incident at adjacent structures, the maximum predicted RF power density level resulting from all operations is depicted in Figure 2. The proposed operations will not expose members of the public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings. Trees 2, 3, & 4 are considered generally inaccessible and not routinely maintained.

The facility will operate unmanned, monitored remotely 24/7, and visited only periodically by technicians for maintenance.

FINDINGS FOR GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CMC 17.92.110) A. The proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental to public health, safety, convenience, or general welfare and will be in harmony with the General Plan.

This facility is designed and operated in accordance with all applicable FCC, FAA, California Building Code, Fire Code, and City of Corona zoning requirements. It is an unmanned facility with no daily traƯic, no noise beyond code limits, and no impacts to utilities or public services. The site enhances wireless communication services, including public safety, emergency response, and 911 reliability, directly supporting General Plan goals related to public infrastructure, safety, and communication systems.

The monopine design ensures visual compatibility with the surrounding environment, minimizing aesthetic impacts. The project will not create hazardous materials, significant noise, vibration, odors, or public nuisances. All equipment is located within a secure fenced lease area and screened from public view.

Therefore, the proposed use is in harmony with General Plan objectives and does not pose any detriment to public welfare.

B. The proposed use is not detrimental to existing or permitted uses in the general area and properly relates to existing and proposed streets and highways.

The wireless facility requires minimal vehicle trips, limited to occasional maintenance visits. There is no daily staƯing, no customer traƯic, and no operational noise above equipment-screening standards. The project does not alter existing traƯic patterns or impede circulation on adjacent streets. The facility is self-contained within a small footprint and does not interfere with surrounding residential, commercial, or utility uses. The monopine’s stealth design and compliance with height, noise, and setback requirements ensures compatibility with nearby land uses.

The project integrates properly with existing site access routes and does not require modifications to public streets or highways.

C. Reasonable conditions may be imposed to protect public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare.

Verizon Wireless acknowledges and accepts that the Planning Commission or City Council may impose reasonable conditions including, but not limited to:
 Landscaping and screening
 Noise limitations
 Height and design specifications
 Compliance with all building, fire, engineering, and FCC requirements  Emergency shut-oƯ access
 Generator testing hour restrictions
The project is fully capable of meeting any such conditions and has been designed with compliance in mind.

on behalf of

D. The proposed use will comply with all property development standards of the zoning district, subject to any more restrictive conditions imposed on the permit.

The facility has been sited and designed to meet or exceed all development standards of the underlying zoning district, including:
 Height allowances for wireless facilities
 Setback requirements
 Noise thresholds
 Screening and aesthetic treatment (monopine)
 Utility connection standards
 Equipment enclosure requirements
If the Commission or Council imposes more restrictive conditions, the project will be modified accordingly to ensure full compliance.

Conclusion
Based on the evidence and analysis above, the project meets all four required findings under CMC 17.92.110 and is consistent with the City of Corona’s General Plan, zoning code, and public interest objectives. Verizon Wireless respectfully requests approval of the Conditional Use Permit to improve wireless coverage, capacity, and reliability for the surrounding community.

Dear Planning and Development Department, Mayor Casillas, and Members of the City Council, I am writing as the property owner of 714 Canary Lane to express my formal opposition to the proposed 49-foot wireless telecommunication facility slated for the northwestern boundary line of Kellogg Park (1635 Kellogg Ave).

While I do not live at the property myself, my children reside there, and my soon-to-be-born grandchild will be raised there. While the tower's footprint does not share a direct fence line with my home, it is being placed just four houses down our street on the shared park boundary. This close proximity poses significant, localized concerns for my property, our neighborhood layout, and my family that must be reevaluated:
• Extreme Proximity to Developing Children: Kellogg Park is a highly active neighborhood space utilized daily by local families. Placing a major wireless installation directly against a public You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important

2 recreation area—just a short distance down the street from the home where my children live and my grandchild will grow up—undermines the community-centric nature of our local parks. • Visual and Aesthetic Impact on the Neighborhood: The 15x20 footprint and 49-foot height introduce a prominent industrial structure into a low-density residential pocket. A tower of this scale just a few doors away disrupts the visual character of Canary Lane and impacts our immediate neighborhood environment.
• Technical, Structural, and Fall-Zone Vulnerabilities: Under standard structural safety guidelines, utility structures are typically expected to maintain a "fall zone" radius equal to or greater than their total height to protect the public in the event of an earthquake, extreme wind event, or mechanical failure. As a 49-foot structure, I am formally requesting clarification on the following engineering points for the public record:

1. What is the exact calculated fall-zone radius for this specific 49-foot structure, and does that radius cross over the municipal park paths or into the private property lines of the nearest residential backyards?

2. Has a structural engineer certified that the simulated "mono-pine" branches and heavy antenna equipment are rated to withstand local high-wind channels without creating a debris hazard for park users or neighboring yards?

3. What physical security measures are being integrated into the 15x20 footprint to ensure the ground cabinets do not become an attractive nuisance or climbing hazard for children playing in the park?
• Unverified "Coverage Gap" and Lack of Alternative Site Proof: While the carrier is federally required to prove a significant coverage gap to bypass local zoning restrictions, planning departments frequently accept their color-coded computer models at face value. I am formally demanding that the city audit the carrier's claims under the "least intrusive means" standard:

1. Did the carrier provide verifiable, physical drive-test data to prove an actual coverage gap, or are they relying strictly on simulated computer-generated software models?

2. What specific commercial properties or existing infrastructure along major thoroughfares (such as nearby commercial corridors) did the carrier attempt to lease before targeting a public family park, and what were the exact engineering reasons those alternative sites were disqualified?
• Evolving Public Health and Federal Safety Concerns: Wireless radiation policy is changing rapidly. Notably, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has actively removed its longstanding public claims that wireless radiation is entirely safe, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched new federal studies to re-evaluate the long-term biological and neurological impacts of this infrastructure. Given that current FCC exposure limits have not been updated since 1996, placing a dense, 24/7 exposure source directly where my family sleeps and a newborn child will develop introduces unnecessary, unquantifiable risks to our immediate neighborhood corridor.
• Prioritizing Corporate Revenue Over Neighborhood Well-Being: It is diBicult to view the placement of a commercial utility footprint inside a residential park as anything other than a

3 financial arrangement for the city at the expense of local homeowners. While the lease revenue from telecom corporations may benefit city budgets, it should never come at the cost of the visual integrity, comfort, and peace of mind of the families who live on Canary Lane and pay taxes to this city. Municipal parks are meant for community recreation, not commercial exploitation.

As our elected oBicials and planning commission, I urge you to look into stricter local setback ordinances, thoroughly audit the carrier's claims of an absolute coverage gap, and protect Kellogg Park from industrial encroachment. We ask that the city pause this development and look for alternative, nonresidential site locations that do not place infrastructure directly adjacent to neighborhood homes and playing fields.

As a taxpayer and property owner whose multi-generational family is impacted by this neighborhood proposal, I expect a personal acknowledgement of this message, and I expect each of you to email me back directly with your specific answers, stance, and planned actions regarding this development at Kellogg Park.

Thank you for your time, leadership, and consideration of our neighborhood's safety and peace of mind.

Sincerely,
Sean T. Pena, Owner
