APPLICATION REQUEST: Request to alter the
existing telecommun-

larging the wall mounted
cellular antennas.
PROPERTY LOCATION: 23555 Golden Springs

Torito Plaza Partnership
23555 Golden Springs
Drive, Suite A,
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
APPLICANT: AirTouch Cellular
3 Park Plaza
Irvine, CA 92714
BACKGROUND:
The property owner, Torito Plaza Partnership and applicant,
AirTouch Cellular, are requesting to revise the original approval
of Conditional Use Permit No. 92-9. The original approval
(Planning Commission, November 23, 1992) permitted the installation
of a telecommunication facility on an existing two story office/
commercial building located at 23555 Golden Springs Drive and
cation
identified as Torito Plaza. The approved telecommuni
FA
facility includes the following equipment: one wall mounted
microwave dish, four feet in diameter and three whip antennas, each
15 feet tall, located on the north elevation; fourteen one foot by
two feet exterior wall mounted directional cellular antennas, seven
located on the north elevation and seven located on the east
elevation; and four cellular antenna and the repeater unit located
within a 665 square foot second floor office. Currently installed
are eight of the fourteen exterior wall mounted cellular antennas,
three whip antennas, a microwave dish, four interior cellular
antennas and repeater unit.
The .57 acre project site is developed with an 11,307 square foot
two story office/retail building, parking and landscaping. The
project site is in the Restricted Business (C-1) Zone. It has a
General Plan Land Use designation of General Commercial (C).
Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the
north is the Single Family Residential -Minimum Lot Size 8,.000
Square Feet (R-1-8,000) Zone; to the south is the R-1-10,000 Zone;
to the east is the C-1 Zone; and to the west is the Neighborhood
Business -Billboard Exclusion (C-2-BE) Zone.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit
Pursuant to Code Section 22.28.110.A., this type of telecommuni-
cations facility is permitted in the C-1-BE Zone with a Conditional
Use Permit approved and review by the Planning Commission. Re-
visions to the original grant require the Commission's review and
approval. As a result, the proposed revisions are being presented
to the Commission for review and approval.
The applicant is requesting to revise the existing telecommuni-
cation facility as follows: add a microwave dish, two feet in
diameter, at the building's southeast corner; add three interior
cellular antennas; and replace the existing eight exterior wall
mounted directional antennas with larger (4.5 feet by 1 foot)
antennas. Additionally, the applicant is requesting the privilege
to alter all fourteen of the exterior antennas' sizes to 4.5 feet
by 1 foot in the future, if necessary.
This telecommunication facility serves Diamond Bar residents in the
north and central portion of the City as well as freeway travelers.
The facility's upgrading will allow the applicant to meet the added
demand for capacity and better service.
The facility is unmanned and will remain as such. It will continue
to require twelve maintenance visits with one service vehicle per
year. Therefore, the parking required, traffic generated by
maintenance and upkeep is considered minimal and will not have a
significant affect to the site or the City.

Planning Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that
all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of
this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines that the
project identified above in this Resolution is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as
amended, and the guidelines promulgated thereunder,
pursuant Section 15301 (b) of Article 19 of Chapter 3 of
Title 14 the California Code of Regulations.
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and
determines that, having considered the record as a whole
including the findings set forth below, and changes and
alterations which have been incorporated into and
conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the
application, there is no evidence before this Planning
Commission that the project proposed herein will have the
potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or
the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon
substantial evidence, this Planning Commission hereby
rebuts the presumption of adverse effects contained in
Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations.
4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein,
this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to a .57 acre site developed
with an 11,307 square foot two story office/
commercial building, parking lot and landscaped
areas. The project site is located at 23555 Golden
Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, California.
(b) The project site has a General Plan Land Use
designation of General Commercial (C). It is within
the Restricted Business (C-1) Zone.
(c) Generally, the following zones surround the project
site: to the north is the Single Family Residential -
Minimum Lot Size 8,000 Square Feet (R-1-8,000) Zone;
to the south is the R-1-10,000 Zone; to the east is
the C-1 Zone; and to the west is the Neighborhood
Business -Billboard Exclusion (C-2-BE) Zone.
(d) The November 23, 1992 Planning Commission approval

cation equipment: one wall mounted microwave dish;
four feet in diameter and three whip antennas, each
`a
�Vj
15 feet tall, located on the north elevation 4°4IL ur-
teen one foot by two feet exterior wall mount
eq
directional cellular antennas, seven located on -h,664
north elevation and seven located on the east
elevation; and four cellular antenna and the
repeater unit located within a 665 square foot
second floor office.
(e) Currently installed are eight of the fourteen

(f) The applicant is requesting to revise the existing
telecommunication facility's equipment as follows:
add a microwave dish, two feet in diameter, at the
building's southeast corner; add three interior
cellular antennas; and replace the existing eight
exterior wall mounted directional antennas with
larger (4.5 feet by 1 foot) antennas. Additionally,
the applicant is requesting the privilege to alter
all fourteen of the exterior antennas' sizes to 4.5
feet by 1 foot in the future, if necessary.
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
(g) The proposed alteration of the existing telecommuni-
cation equipment will not be is substantial conflict
with the adopted general plan.
The City's General Plan provides for regional,
freeway oriented, and or community retail and
service oriented commercial uses within the General
Commercial (C) land use designation. The
application's proposal alters an already approved
grant which is a service oriented commercial use.
As a service oriented commercial use, the
telecommunication facility, even as altered is in
compliance with the city's adopted General Plan.
(h) The proposed equipment alterations, at the location
proposed will not:
(1) Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or
welfare of persons residing or working in the
surrounding area, or
(2) Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment
or valuation of property of other persons
located in the vicinity of the site, or
(3) Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a
menace to public health, safety or general
welfare.
The proposed equipment alterations allows for the
existing telecommunications facility's upgrade in
order to meet the added demand for capacity and
better service. The use is permitted in the C-1
Zone with a Conditional Use Permit approval to
ensure, by conditions and the issuance of City
3
Permits and inspections, that the project wil4'at
adversely affect the health, peace, comfort or
wb
welfare of persons residing or working in the
surrounding area. The previously mentioned safe- c ;
guards will ensure that the proposed project will
not jeopardies, endanger or otherwise constitute a
menace to public health, safety or general welfare.
Furthermore, the consensus of the scientific com-
munity maintains that the radio frequency radiation
emitted and the lower frequency electromagnetic
fields associated with this type of facility does
not produce adverse health effects in humans because
they are non -ionizing in nature and normal exposures
are controlled so as not to result in thermal
effects. As such, the facility with its alterations
will not be detrimental to the use, enjoyment or
valuation of property or persons located in the
vicinity of the project site.
(i) The project site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and
loading facilities, landscaping and other
development features, or as is otherwise required in
order to integrate said use in the surrounding area.
The proposed equipment alterations does not require
enlargement of the existing office/commercial
structure. It does not create a demand for
additional parking. The telecommunication
facilityes original approved addressed this issue.
At that time the site was found adequate in size and
shape to accommodate the use and can still
accommodate the use.
(j) The project site is adequately served:
(1) By highways or streets of sufficient width and
improved as necessary to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such use would generate;
and
(2) By other public or private service facilities
as are required.
The project site is adequately served by Golden
Springs Drive and Torito Lane which is a major
highway and residential street respectively. The
existing telecommunication facility is unmanned. It
requires twelve maintenance visits with one service
vehicle per year, as the facility exists and with
the proposed alterations. Therefore, the facility,
even with the proposed alterations does not
significantly increase vehicular traffic to an from
the site. Additionally, electrical service utilized
by the facility exists at the site. It serves the
site adequately and will continue to do so.
Development Review Findings:
The design and layout of the proposed
ke development
consistent with the applicable elements of the
"°
City's general plan, design guidelines of the
appropriate district, and any adopted architectural
criteria for specialized area, such as designated
historic districts, the area, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards, or planned
developments.
Pursuant to the General Plan, the existing telecom-
munication facility is a service oriented commercial
use which the General Plan allows within the General
Commercial (C) land use designation. Pursuant to
the city's Planning and Zoning Code, the existing
facility with the proposed alterations is permitted
within the C-1 Zone with a Conditional Use Permit
which is incorporated into this review.
1. The design and layout of the proposed development
will not unreasonably interfere with the use and
enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
developments, and will not create traffic or
pedestrian hazards.
The existing telecommunication facility with its
proposed alterations is unmanned. The facility
requires monthly maintenance (12 visits per year)
with one service vehicle. Therefore, the required
parking and traffic generated by the maintenance and
upkeep is considered minimal. Therefore, the
project will not have a significant impact on the
neighborhood and as such will not create traffic or
pedestrian hazards or unreasonably interfere with
the used and enjoyment of neighboring or future
developments.
m. The architectural design of the proposed development
is compatible with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious
orderly and attractive development contemplated by
the Development Review Ordinance and the City's
general plan.
The existing telecommunication equipment and the
proposed equipment changes are designed and painted
or will be painted to match the color of the office/
commercial building it is mounted on. Additionally,
existing trees adjacent to the building's north
elevation and younger trees adjacent to the south
and east elevations will assist or eventually assist
in reducing the equipments negative aesthetic
impact. As a result, the visual impacts will be
limited and the project will be compatible with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and will

development contemplated by the Development Rev'ew
Ordinance and the City's General Plan.��
n. The design of the proposed development would provide
a desirable environment for its occupants and
visiting public as well as its neighbors through
good aesthetic use of materials, texture and color
that will remain aesthetically appealing and will
retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance.
The existing telecommunication equipment and the

elevation and younger trees adjacent to the south
and east elevations will assist or eventually assist
in reducing the equipments negative aesthetic
impact. As a result, the visual impacts will be
limited and will provide a desirable environment for
its occupants and visiting public as well as its
neighbors through good aesthetic use of materials,
texture and color that will remain aesthetically
appealing. The materials and paint utilized will
retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance.
o. The proposed development will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety or welfare or materially
injurious to the properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
Due to the conditions of approval and the issuance
of City permits and inspections, that the project
will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to the
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Furthermore, the consensus of the scientific com-
munity maintains that the radio frequency radiation
emitted and the lower frequency electromagnetic
fields associated with this type of facility does
not produce adverse health effects in humans because
they are non -ionizing in nature and normal exposures
are controlled so as not to result in thermal
effects. As such, the facility with its alterations
wIll not be detrimental to the use, enjoyment or
valuation of property or persons located in the
vicinity of the project site.

be referred to as "the application".
2. On April 18, 1989, the City of Diamond Bar was estab-
lished as a duly organized municipal corporation of the

requirements of the California Government Code Section
57376, Title 21 and 22, the City Council of the City of
Diamond Bar adopted its ordinance No. 14, thereby adopt-
ing the Los Angeles County Code as the ordinances of the
