Date: July 22, 2014
Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2014-25, to allow an in-building repeater
system consisting of a roof-mounted two panel antenna on an existing office
building located at 19333 Vallco Parkway
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 19333 Vallco Parkway. 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 four feet above the parapet wall and is setback about 45 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: "Vallco Parkway/19333 Vallco
Parkway/Cupertino, CA 95014 " prepared by Connell Design Group, LLC, and
consisting of 2 sheets labeled A-1 (Site Plan, Antenna Details); and A-2 (Building
Section, Details) last dated 02/25/14, except as may be modified by any conditions
enumerated below.
