CITY OF CUPERTINO
10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 (408) 777-3308
To: Mayor and City Council members
Chairman and Planning Commissioners
From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developmexrt~~
Date: February 24, 2003
Subject: Director's Minor Modification DIR-2002-04 to allow the installation of antenna
tree pole and equipment cabinets on an existing office site.
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative
approval of minor changes in a project. The Director reports his decision
to the City Council and Planning Commission in time to allow an appeal
of the decision within fourteen calendar days.
DISCUSSION:
Sprint PCS proposes to install a six panel antenna tree pole and equipment cabinets in
the rear parking lot of an existing office site located at 10121 Miller Avenue. The
location of the tree pole will not be visible from Stevens Creek Boulevard and Miller
Avenue because of it is located behind the existing office complex and partially
screened by large trees along the perimeters of the project site. In addition, the tree pole
is designed to mimic a real redwood tree with a textured trunk and realistic
limbs/ needles.
The six antenna panels will be 5' -6" tall mounted at the peak of the tree pole (55 feet
maximum from the natural grade). Artificial tree limbs and needles will help to screen
the proposed panels from any public view. Both the panels and the antenna mounts
will be painted to match the color of the tree pole.
The proposed equipment cabinets will be placed at the rear of an existing masonry trash
enclosure located at the southwest corner of the parking lot. The equipments will be
out of sight and sufficiently screened by existing trees and vegetation.
The applicant will be required as a condition of approval to design the tree pole to
allow for the collocation of additional future antennas from other wireless service
providers. The applicant is agreeable to this condition.
ACTION:
The Director approves the application, file no. DIR-2002-o4, with the following
conditions:
1) The Director's approval expires five (5) years after the effective date of this
permit, February 24, 2008. The applicant may renew this permit upon a review
of the technology to determine if the visual impact can be further minimized.
2) Aerial facilities not used for its permitted purpose for a period of 18 months is
considered abandoned and must be removed by the property owner or applicant
who bears the entire cost of demolition.
3) The tree pole shall be designed to mimic a real redwood tree with textured trunk
and realistic limbs/needles as shown on the Preserved Treescapes International
brochure submitted to the Planning Department on February 2, 2003.
4) The approval is based on plan set titled: JJ SF 922-02, Commerce One (Richwood)
10121 Miller Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014", dated 02/03/03 and consisting of 6
pages labeled Tl, Ct and Al through A4.
5) The applicant shall engineer, design and erect the mast to allow collocation of
additional future antennas from other wireless service providers. The applicant
shall allow on its mast and any extension, the collocation of other antennas and
related facilities where technically feasible and where visual intrusiveness is
reduced in comparison to other siting alternatives. The collocation agreement
shall be at market rates with reasonable compensation to the mast owner. Any
future collocating antennas shall be submitted to a separate permit approval.
