10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 (408) 777-3308
To: Mayor and City Councilmembers
Chair and Planning Commission
From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developme~
Date: July 25, 2001
Subj: Director's Approval of a single rooftop-mounted antenna.
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative approval of
minor changes to a project. The Director reports his decision to the City Council and
Planning Commission in time to allow any Councilmember or Planning Commissioner to
appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days.
Application:
File No. 12-DIR-01: Director's Minor Modification to allow a 30-inch long, 6-inch high
yagi antenna horizontally-mounted on a 10-foot tall pole on the roof of an Apple
Computer tenant building at 20705 Valley Green Drive
Description:
The applicant, AT&T Wireless Services, is requesting the approval of a horizontally-
mounted yagi directional antenna to connect an in-building cellular system for the Apple
Computer campus to the AT&T wireless network. The linkage will occur on a previously
approved array of panel antennae located on the roof at 10101 North De Anza
Boulevard. An identical yagi directional antenna is also being proposed on one of the
Apple Computer buildings located a one Infinity Loop (file no. 14-DIR-0l).
The property is zoned "P(CG, ML, Res (4-10 du/ac)" - Planned Development zoning
with general commercial, light industrial and residential land uses permitted. The size
and height of the antenna complies with the City's wireless communications facilities
ordinance as it is only 2 feet above the parapet wall where 6 feet is allowed. It is also
located near the middle of the roof which makes it less visually obtrusive.
Action:
The Director finds the proposed aerial facility to be unobtrusive. The Director of
Community Development deems the modification minor and conditionally approves the
modification as depicted in exhibits titled " AT&T Wireless Services, Apple Comupter
Complex, 20705 Valley Green Drive - VG6" consisting of 4 sheets and dated March 15,
2001.
The first condition of approval provides for the removal of the aerial and its associated
facilities if the aerial is not used for its permitted purpose for a period of eighteen months.
The second condition of approval provides for a 5-year expiration date on this permit.
Before the expiration date, the applicant may apply for a time extension at which point
the state of its technology will be reviewed in conjunction with the project. The
expiration date shall be July 17,2006 or a later date approved by the Planning
Commission upon the appeal of the project.
This approval of the modification is effective July 25, 2001. The fourteen calendar day
appeal period will expire on August 8, 2001.
