Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2014-24, to allow an in-building repeater
system consisting of a roof-mounted two panel antenna on an existing office
building located at 18880 Homestead Road
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 18880 Homestead Road. 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 antennas.
The antenna height rises three feet above the equipment screen and the screen is setback
about 75 feet from the edge of the nearest parapet wall. The antenna height complies
with Cupertino's Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance (CMC 19.136). The
mechanical screen and the antennas will not be visible from the Swallow Way and
Homestead Road 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: "Homestead/18880 Homestead
Rd./Cupertino, CA 95014 " prepared by Connell Design Group, LLC, and consisting of
1
2 sheets labeled A-1 (Site Plan, Antenna Mast Details); and A-2 (Building Section,
Details) last dated 03/10/14, except as may be modified by any conditions enumerated
below.
