RE: REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AND SETBACK VARIANCE TO ALLOW
AN EQUIPMENT SHED TO ENCROACH WITHIN THE SIDE YARD
SETBACK; LANDS OF LOS ALTOS HILLS (WESTWIND BARN); 27210
ALTAMONT ROAD;FILE# 177-05-ZP-SD-CUP-VAR.
FROM: Brian Froelich, Assistant Planner
APPROVED BY: Carl Cahill, Planning Director(,G
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission:
Approve the requested Conditional Use Permit and Variance, subject to the recommended
conditions and findings of .approval in Attachments 1, 2, and 3 and forward a
recommendation of approval to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The site is a Town owned 14.96-acre property located at 27210 Altamont Road.
Currently, the site is used by the Westwind Barn commercial stable and has been
operating under a Conditional Use Permit at the site since 1977. The subject property is
located immediately to the west of the 50.25 acre Byrne Preserve. Existing structures on
the property include the barn, paddocks, corrals, and riding arenas. Surrounding uses
include single-family residences to the west, south, and north, and the Byrne Preserve to
the east.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Verizon Wireless has submitted plans for a 65 foot wireless communications pole, with 6
antennas and an equipment shelter that is 13 feet tall with a similar architectural style as
the existing barn. Verizon Wireless has provided two pole designs that meet their
requirements for the target service area:
1. Mono-Pine: The mono pine design would be 65 feet tall with a 17 foot wide
canopy. This type of pole is limited in the potential for co-location because only
one other wireless carrier could be located on this type of pole. The faux foliage
limits reception and mounting capabilities.
2. Slimline Pole: This design would be 65 feet tall and painted a flat, earthtone
color. This design reduces overall bulk and allows two potential co-location
elevations.
Verizon Wireless has provided these two designs for consideration by the Town.

A radio frequency analysis for the project was prepared by Verizon Wireless in August of
2005. The report concluded that the proposed Verizon Wireless service would comply
with the FCC's current prevailing standard for limiting human exposure to RF energy.
Therefore, no significant impact on the environment or general population is expected.

DISCUSSION
Per sections 10-1.505 and 10-2.301 (c)(7) of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, the
proposed 65 foot pole is sited in a permitted location on site but requires Planning
Commission review because of the pole height. The proposed ground equipment cabinets
are housed in a 289 square foot structure with a similar architectural style as the existing
barn. The proposed equipment shelter is proposed in the side yard setback and requires
Variance approval.
ALTERNATIVE SITING
Verizon Wireless considered an alternative site for the antenna installation at the Palo
Alto Hills Country Club but the design was unable to meet height requirements. The
Purissima Hills Water District was also contacted but they do not have any water tank
sites in the target service area.

VARIANCE
Per Section 10-1.505 of the Municipal Code, structures must be located,a minimum of 30
feet from the side property line. The ground equipment shelter is proposed along the
property boundary with the Town owned Byrne Preserve site giving the structure a zero
(lot line) setback location. Verizon Wireless representatives visited the site and
determined that the proposed locations are the most suitable for the monopole and the
equipment shelter because it will avoid impact to existing structures and circulation on
the property. Copies of the plans were routed to the Westwind Barn board and no
comments have been received as of the writing of this. report. The Variance request
impacts two contiguous Town owned properties and no negative impact is anticipated to
any privately owned land as a result of a reduced setback. The property line in question is
an interior lot line between the Town's properties. Variance findings are included in this
staff report for Commission review (Attachment 3).
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY POLICY
The proposed facility is consistent with the Town's Wireless Communications Facilities
Policy because it is a non-residential site, and visual impacts are minimized by the design
of the pole and equipment shelter. Co-location is a possibility with both designs and the
applicant has sent a mailing to neighbors within 500 feet (Attachment 8).
Pursuant to the Town's Wireless Communications Facilities Policy, Verizon Wireless
submitted a 3-5 year Antenna Master Plan showing all existing and anticipated AT&T
antenna sites within the Town boundaries for Planning Commission review (Attachment
6).
CEOA STATUS
In conformance with CEQA requirements, staff has prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration (Attachment 4).
ACCESS AND UTILITY EASEMENT
Verizon Wireless has requested a 12 foot wide access and utility easement to be located
along the existing driveway to the barn. This easement would be recorded if the project is
approved and expire if the Conditional Use Permit is not renewed or the site is no longer
in use.

COMMITTEE COMMENTS
Project plans were routed to the Environmental Design and Open Space Committees. The
Open Space Committee has no substantive comments and comments from the
Environmental Design Committee have not been received as of the writing of this report.
CONCLUSION
The proposed wireless communications facility at the Westwind Barn site will provide
wider cellular phone coverage to the northwest portion of the Town. Based on the project
analysis and initial study the proposed project, as mitigated, will not have a significant
effect on the environment.

1. The proposed use or facility is properly located in relation to the community as a whole,
land uses,and transportation and service facilities in the vicinity;
The proposed location of the pole and equipment shelter is the best possible location with the
surrounding open space and residential uses in the neighborhood. The proposed pole would
be located to the rear of the existing barn along a row of existing mature trees. The pole
would be placed in a location where a mature tree was previously removed. The equipment
shelter would be located along the eastern property boundary, approximately 300 feet from
the nearest residence. The shelter would have a similar architectural style as the existing
barn. Visual impacts to the existing residences to the west would be reduced by the existing
barn and paddocks.
Construction of the proposed wireless communication facility will not place an undue burden
on existing transportation, utilities and services in the vicinity since the project only requires
on-site visits by Verizon personnel for regular maintenance of the facility.
2. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate this use and
all yards, open spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and such other
features as may be required by this chapter or will be needed to assure that the
proposed use will be reasonably compatible with land uses normally permitted in the
surrounding area;
The site has been developed as a commercial barn and open space use accommodating hiking
and equestrian purposes. The proposed installations would not have any impact to the
existing uses onsite. The existing parking facilities would be sufficient for the limited trips
generated by construction and maintenance of the equipment. The proposed installations total
less than 300 square feet.
3. The site is served by streets and highways of adequate width and pavement to carry the
quantity and kind of traffic generated by this proposed use; and
The construction and maintenance of the proposed pole and equipment will generate minimal
additional traffic. The site is served by Altamont Road, which can accommodate traffic
generated by the proposed use.
1
4. The site does not adversely affect the abutting property or the permitted use thereof.
The conditions of approval of this permit include standards in accordance with the Wireless
Communication Policy to ensure land use compatibility. In addition, Conditions of Approval
will mitigate the visual impacts and future problems with the site. The proposed wireless
communication facility, as conditioned, will not adversely affect other properties in the
vicinity or the general welfare of the Town.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
27210 ALTAMONT ROAD (LOS ALTOS HILLS/WESTWIND BARN)
FILE# 177-05-ZP-SD-CUP-VAR
1. Because of exceptional and extraordinary circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the provisions of this Title is found to deprive such property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification;
The large (14.96 ac.), Town owned (Westwind Barn) property is surrounded by Town
owned(Byrne Preserve)open space to the south and east. The siting of the existing barn and
site circulation limits the siting options for the equipment shelter and locating the shelter
elsewhere on the site would interfere with the current operations. The property line in
question is an interior boundary line that separates two Town owned properties that are used
similarly and simultaneously by Town residents and neither property could be sold without a
vote of the people. The strict application of the provisions of this Title creates a hardship by
creations of a setback in the middle of jointly used properties.
2. Upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable sections of
the Zoning Ordinance will still be served and the recipient of the variance will not be
granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners.
The purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance is still served. The proposed location of the
equipment shelter complies with setbacks from rights-of-way and existing residential
properties in the area. This would not be a grant of special privilege because the Town has
granted a setback Variance for wireless equipment with a previous application (AT&T
Wireless 26451 Ascension Drive).
3. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental.to the public welfare
or injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate vicinity and
within the same zoning district.
The granting of the Variance for encroachment into the setback would not impact any
immediate,neighbors or property owners because the area of encroachment within the
setback is located in the center of the property relative to required setbacks from rights-of-
way or adjacent residential properties. The proposed pole and equipment meet the FCC
limits for human exposure and the installations will be completed to Building Code
standards.No detriment to public welfare is anticipated.
1
4. The variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly
authorized by the Zoning District regulations governing the parcel of property.
The proposed pole and equipment shelter are uses that are consistent with the Town's
Wireless Communications Policy. The subject property is owned by the Town and all
residents would enjoy greater wireless service in this area.

INITIAL STUDY
In accordance with the policies regarding implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,
this document, combined with the attached supporting data, constitutes the initial study on the subject project.
This initial study provides the basis for the determination of whether the project may have a significant effect on
the environment. If it is determined that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, an
environmental impact report will be prepared which focuses on the areas of concern identified by this initial
study. If it is determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment, it is eligible for
a Negative Declaration. If it is determined that the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, however, the significant effects of the project have been reduced to a less-than-significant level
because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project applicant, then the project would
be eligible for a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

I.AESTHETICS—Would the project:
a)Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic LJ U L
vista?
b)Substantially damage scenic resources, L] LJ L

outcroppings,and historic buildings within a
state scenic highway?
c)Substantially degrade the existing visual L L3
character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d)Create a new source of substantial light or L3 LJ L
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
IMPACT:
The project consists of a 65 foot monopole and 289 square foot equipment enclosure.The project is consistent
with the Town's Wireless Communications Policy because the property is owned by the Town. The proposal
to install a monopole and equipment cabinets, as mitigated, should not substantially degrade the visual
character and quality of the site and its surroundings. Currently, the site is developed with a bam, paddocks,
and corrals,which are visible from off-site.
MITIGATION:
To ensure that the visual impact of the proposed installations will be mitigated the applicant has proposed two
options for the pole design as follows:
1. A proposed monopine(faux tree)that would reduce the visual impact of the pole when viewed from
offsite and is similar in height to existing mature trees around the barn.
2. A slimline pole painted a flat earthtone color that reduces the bulk and massing of the pole and preserves
views from offsite.
H.AGRICULTURE RESOURCES:In
determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
Policy Re: Wireless Communications Facilities
Code Sections and Design Guidelines:
Section 10-1.703(h)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance allows service uses, including
"communications facilities", to be permitted in the Town if a Conditional Use Permit is
granted by the Planning Commission and City Council. Section 10-1.1107(1) of the
Code outlines findings which must be made to approve a use permit,including the proper
location of the use or facility relative to others in the vicinity, the adequacy of the site to
accommodate the use, and that the facility or use will not have an adverse effect on
adjacent properties. The Design Guidelines do not address such uses, but do suggest(on
pages 29-31) that ancillary facilities, such as lights, pool equipment, and satellite dishes,
be located so as to minimize impacts on neighbors.
Intent:
The purpose of this policy is to outline the desired criteria for siting of wireless
communications facilities, generally including monopoles, related antennas, and
equipment shelters. As the Town's land use is virtually entirely residential, wireless
communication facilities will be most appropriately located on public or institutional sites
existing within the Town. Collocation, location on or near existing buildings, and
landscape screening will be desired to minimize the visual impacts of the facilities on
neighbors and the public.
Policies:
1. Priorities for Siting. Wireless communication facilities shall generally be
located on properties not used for residential purposes, with priority as
follows: a) Town-owned properties; b) Foothill College; c) water tank
sites; and d) other public or quasi-public facilities, such as schools or
churches.
2. Siting on Residential Parcels. Wireless communication facilities shall not be
permitted on properties used for residential purposes or vacant parcels
intended for residential use,.unless the residential property owner provides
written consent and: a) the carrier demonstrates that all alternative non-
residential sites (including collocation) have been explored and are not
technologically feasible for use; and b) no significant visual impacts would
result from the proposed facility location. The Town may, at its discretion
and at the applicant's cost, retain an independent telecommunications expert
to review the carrier's documentation and advise the Town regarding the
technological feasibility of alternate sites.
Policy Re: Wireless Communications Facilities -
page 2
3. Collocation. Collocation of wireless communication facilities with other
facilities is encouraged to the maximum extent feasible, as long as the
collocation is technologically compatible and does not substantially increase
visual impacts. The Town will generally require as a condition of approval
for any conditional use permit that the applicant permit collocation of other
facilities, subject to technological constraints and Town review.
4. Landscape Screening and Color. Landscape screening shall be required by
the Town to minimize the visual impacts of wireless communication facilities.
Poles,antennas, and equipment buildings should be painted to blend with the
surrounding environment and/or buildings to further minimize visual
impacts.
5. Environmental Review. A Negative Declaration will typically be prepared
for review of proposed wireless communication facilities, with special
attention to the visual impacts of the facilities. Categorical exemptions may
_ be used where facilities are collocated with or would be minimal additions to
existing structures,with negligible additional visual impact.
6. Antenna Master Plans. Any applicant for a wireless communication facility
site shall submit applications, to the best of their knowledge, for all sites
anticipated to be required by the carrier for a three (3) to five (5) year
period, and the requests shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and
City Council as a master plan application.
7. Term of Permits and Abandonment of Sites. Conditional use permits for
wireless communication facilities -shall be established for periods not to
exceed five (5)'years, at which time renewal of the permit must be requested
by the applicant. More frequent review of the operation of the permit may
be made a condition of approval. Approval will also require a written
agreement from the applicant that, should the use be discontinued by the
carrier, all facilities will be removed not later than ninety (90) days after
discontinuance of the use or abandonment. Such a provision shall also be
included in any lease with the Town for use of Town lands for wireless
communications facilities. The Town may require bonding or other surety
to assure the removal of such facilities.
8. Wireless communication firms shall, at the time of application for permits,
demonstrate efforts which have been made to inform neighboring residents
of the proposed facilities,, such as conducting meetings, or mailing fact sheets
and/or letters, etc.to neighbors.

ATTACHMENT
NOTICE OF PROPOSED VERIZON WIRELESS
PROJECT AT WESTWIND BARN
To: Neighbors and owners within 500' radius of Westwind Barn—27210 Altamont
Road,Los Altos Hills
Verizon Wireless is proposing a wireless communication facility at 27210 Altamont
Road (Westwind Barn) as part of an ongoing effort to provide improved wireless
coverage in Los Altos Hills. The proposal would include a 65' co-location treepole for
the placement of antennas, and a 17' x 17' equipment shelter to house the related radio
equipment.
The proposed Verizon collocation treepole would consist of six (6) panel antennas to be
mounted near the top of the treepole in two groupings of three antennas each, with
remaining space below for future collocation antennas. The location of the proposed
treepole at the rear of the existing barn structure will serve to blend in with an existing
row of trees, and has been designed to have minimal visual impact on the surrounding
properties. The proposed Verizon equipment shelter will be located at the rear of the
subject property along the eastern property line, and will treated architecturally to
resemble the existing barn structure with a pitched roof.
In addition to seeking a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the proposed use, Verizon is
also seeking a Variance to allow for the construction of the equipment shelter within side
setback of the property.
You will be receiving a mailer from the Town of Los Altos Hills serving as notification
of the Planning Commission hearing on October 13, 2005.
If you have any questions regarding the project and are unable to attend the Planning
Commission Hearing, please contact Jason Smith at (925) 683-5041. Please contact
Brian Froelich at (650) 941-7222 ext. 227 with the Town of Los Altos Hills Planning
Department if you have any questions regarding the planning process.
