Document Description
The project applicant will construct a new AT&T wireless communication facility (WCF) disguised as an 80-foot-tall stealth water tank cell tower within the Laguna Creek parkway. The new WCF will be located within a 22-foot x 38-foot lease area (836 square feet), surrounded by an 8-foot-tall perimeter wall with openings at the bottom to allow free flowing of drainage. The facility will require 12 panel antennas and 12 remote radio units, all of which will be mounted interiorly. Equipment cabinets and a diesel backup generator will be enclosed by an 8-foot-tall chain link fence, located on a steel platform, raised to be above the 100-year floodplain. The WCF and lease area will accommodate current and future cell carrier equipment and backup emergency generators. Additionally, the project includes a new 20-foot-wide nonexclusive utility and access easement as well as a request for Use Permit, a Special Development Permit and Design Review.
