NOTICE OF FILING- STATUS
Application: Conditional Use Permit No. 04-04 (Cingular Wireless Communication
Facility)
Applicant: Gil Gonzales, 150 Paularino Ave., Ste. A-166, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Request: To Construct a 50 ft. monopole designed as a flagpole.
Location: 5858 Warner Ave. (Southwest corner of Warner and Springdale)
Dear Mr. Gonzales:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Department has reviewed your entitlement
application and has determined the application to be incomplete. The following information
and/or corrections are requested in order for the Planning Department to deem your application
complete and continue the review process of your application:
MINIMUM APPLICATION RE UIREMENTS
The following items are necessary to deem your application complete:
1. Plans drawn to a minimum scale of 1/8"= 1' or 1 "= 30' with dimensions of all
pertinent data such as easements, driveways, landscaping, parking, fencing; and
distances to all property lines. Indicate any grade differential between adjacent
properties, alleys, or streets.
2. Revised radius map and additional mailing labels for properties within 300 feet of the
entire shopping center.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The following items are staff recommendations to improve the design of the project:
1. Staff is concerned with the placement of the flagpole. A flagpole should be located in
a prominent area not behind the building adjacent to a trash enclosure. Look into
alternative designs to disguise the monopole. Staff recommends the use of a
monopine, or monopalm design.

2. Staff is concerned with the location of the equipment enclosure. The site plan
indicates the equipment enclosure is located within the vicinity of the existing trash
enclosure. The placement of structures results in a layout that is not well integrated
with existing structures. Staff recommends combining the equipment cabinet
enclosure with the trash enclosure to minimize the number of accessory structures in
the area and provide an enhanced design of the structure.
3. Staff is concerned with the placement of security fencing around the wireless
communication facility. The site plan proposes security fencing around the facility,
however the equipment cabinets are located within a secured enclosure. Furthermore
the fencing provides a false sense of security and directs attention to the facility in
that flagpole, pine trees, and/or palm trees are not typically located behind security
fencing. Staff recommends removing the security fencing.
4. Staff is concerned with the lack of landscaping incorporated into the design of the
facility. Landscaping should be used to integrate the proposed facility with subject
site in order to enhance the appearance of the monopole. Staff recommends providing
landscaping around the facility.

presume approval of the application requested.
