From: Gary Chao, Assistant Director of Community Development ��-���•'"��
Prepared by: Colin Jung, Associate Planner `
Date: July 22, 2014
Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2014-23, to allow an in-building repeater
system consisting of a roof-mounted two panel antenna on an existing office
building located at 20330 Stevens Creek Boulevard
Chapter 19.164 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.
BACKGROUND:
Charnel James, NSA Wireless, is proposing to construct a Verizon Wireless in-building
repeater system for Apple's office building located at 20330 Stevens Creek Boulevard
(Cupertino City Center). A cellular repeater is a device used for boosting the cell phone
reception to a local and limited area by the usage of an external reception antenna, an
internal signal amplifier and an internal rebroadcast antenna(s). The system is usually
intended for use in a single building.
DISCUSSION
The only potentially visible part of the system is the roof-mounted, two panel antenna.
The antenna height is about three feet above the parapet wall and is setback about 35
feet from the edge of the wall. The antenna height complies with Cupertino's Wireless
Communications Facilities Ordinance (CMC 19.136). The antenna will not be visible
from any public rights-of-way, so rooftop screening is unnecessary.
ACTION:
In accordance with Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.164, the Assistant Director of
Community Development deems the modification minor and approves the
modification described in the plan set titled: "Apple City Center/20330 Stevens Creek
Rd./Cupertino, CA 95014 " prepared by Connell Design Group, LLC, and consisting of
1
2 sheets labeled A-1 (Site Plan, Antenna Details); and A-2 (Building Section, Details) last
dated 05/20/14, except as may be modified by any conditions enumerated below.
