8. LANDS OF TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS (AT&T), 27440 Purissima Road(#26- <br /> 09-CUP); A Request for a Conditional Use Permit Renewal and Amendment to <br /> • Replace two 2' Tall Antennas with 4' Tall Antennas on an Existing 70' Tall <br /> Monopole. CEQA Review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15301 (Staff: D. <br /> Pedro) <br /> Planning Director Debbie Pedro introduced the item to Council. Pedro provided an <br /> overview of the request before Council for the renewal of a Conditional Use Permit and <br /> amendments to replace two antennas on the existing monopole and to extend the time <br /> period between renewals from 5 years to 10 years in compliance with State Law. The <br /> Planning Commission had reviewed the request at their April 2, 2009 meeting, and voted <br /> 4-0 (Clow absent)to recommend approval of the proposal. <br /> Pedro explained that the facility was operating in compliance with the approved <br /> conditions of the Use Permit and the Wireless Communications Policy. The proposed <br /> antenna replacement would not constitute a significant visual impact. The extension of <br /> the Use Permit would allow continued operation of the facility for an additional 10 years <br /> at which time subsequent Planning Commission and City Council review would be <br /> required. <br /> Pedro proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation that included pictures of the existing <br /> monopole located at the Little League fields as seen from the Town's riding arena and the <br /> existing AT&T equipment shed. <br /> • OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Eliza Bechtold, applicant representative, thanked the staff for their efforts on the project. <br /> She agreed on the record to the Conditions of Approval as noted in the staff report before <br /> Council. <br /> CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Council Discussion: <br /> Councilmember Larsen requested that the representative relay his request to her superiors <br /> for support of proposed additional cell towers in Town,particularly in the western section <br /> of Los Altos Hills. Bechtold responded that she would pass the comments along. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Larsen, seconded by Warshawsky <br /> and passed unanimously to approve the requested amendment and renewal of the <br /> Conditional Use Permit to replace the antennas and extend the time period between <br /> renewals from 5 years to 10 years subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment 1) <br /> in the staff report. <br /> • <br /> 5 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> April 23,2009 <br />
