SUBJECT: WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS MASTER PLAN
SUMMARY
Staff has been asked to agendize for City Council discussion the City's Wireless Master
Plan and its current status.
RECOMMENDATION
Pleasure of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any fiscal impact would depend upon direction provided by the City Council. Information
on the fiscal revenue implications associated with wireless licenses on City owned
properties are provided in this report.
BACKGROUND
1. Wireless Master Plan for City of Tustin
In November 2007, the City entered into an agreement with ATS Communications to
develop and implement a Wireless Communications Master Plan (WMP) for the City
and to act as the City's agent in procuring qualified wireless carriers wanting to locate
facilities on City -owned properties. City -owned properties included properties such as
public parks, reservoirs, water well sites, and city -owned buildings. ATS
Communications completed the WMP in June 2009 and it was subsequently received
for filing by the City Council in August of 2009. A copy of the original Master Plan and
the PowerPoint presentation summarizing the original presentation to Council is
attached (Attachment A).
The WMP does the following: 1) identifies adequacy of existing wireless infrastructure
citywide including the identification of existing wireless carriers on City -owned properties
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012
Page 2
and private properties, 2) identifies potential industry, regulatory and technology
changes impacting future development of the City's wireless infrastructure, 3) evaluates
the City's existing wireless ordinance, 4) provides design standards for future wireless
facilities, 5) identifies City -owned properties that have the greatest potential for
licensing, and, 6) provides an application and review process for wireless carriers
interested in locating on City -owned properties including the inclusion of a standard
form license.
The WMP identified four (4) optimal wireless locations at City -owned sites. These
locations include the following:
• 13602 Parkcenter Lane (Camino Real Park)
• 11385 Pioneer Road (Cedar Grove Park)
• 10250 Pioneer Road (Pioneer Road Park)
• 12850 Robinson Drive (Tustin Sports Park)
These four (4) locations were identified because they represented areas within Tustin
that were the most deficient in terms of wireless coverage. Maps were included within
the WMP that detailed the lack of coverage that was present in these specific areas of
Tustin. These sites satisfied carrier coverage objectives pursuant to the analysis in the
WMP (Attachment A).
Although only four (4) optimal City -owned sites were identified in the WMP, all City -
owned properties were included within the report as potential wireless facility locations.
A list of all of the locations included in the WMP has been made available to interested
carriers and they have made inquiries and submitted applications for some locations
that may not have been identified as an optimal location such as a potential application
for Citrus Ranch Park. ATS actively works with carriers who show an interest in City -
owned properties.
2. Current Status of Wireless Facilities
Currently, there are 43 wireless facilities located throughout the City on both private and
publicly owned property. Some wireless locations include multiple carriers within the
same location. All of the wireless facilities are located on non-residential properties
primarily commercial, industrial and institutional land uses which include churches and
schools. A map and inventory of these locations is included as Attachment B.
All of the wireless facilities located on City -owned public property are currently at the
Tustin Sports Park located at 12850 Robinson Drive. Currently, the City has approved
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012
Page 3
and leased/licensed four (4) wireless facilities at this location. The four leases/licenses
at Tustin Sports Park are with the following carriers:
AT&T/Cingular Wireless - The City Council approved a lease agreement which
became effective on October 6, 2003. The antennas are located on existing light
pole standards and the base facilities are located at ground level behind the
scoreboard.
Design Review (DR) 02-21 was approved by the Community Development Director
on September 19, 2002.
On November 14, 2011, a design review application (DR 2011-07) was received
from Cingular Wireless to expand existing facilities at the site. Cingular Wireless is
proposing to replace its existing lease with a license agreement to include both the
existing and new antennas and facilities. Staff is in the process of reviewing both
the submitted plans as well as the business proposal.
T -Mobile — City Council approved a lease agreement which became effective on
June 16, 2003. This lease agreement has a term of seven (7) years and the tenant
has the option to extend the term for five (5) additional periods of one (1) year each
("Renewal Term"). The lease agreement automatically extends for each Renewal
Term period unless tenant notifies the City of its intent not to extend this lease at
least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Term or the then -existing
Renewal Term. The second Renewal Term for this lease agreement commenced on
June 16, 2011 and will expire on June 16, 2012. Should the tenant not notify the
City of its intention to not extend the lease at least ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of the Renewal Term, then the lease agreement shall automatically
extend into its third Renewal Term.
The antennas are located on existing light pole standards and the base facilities are
located at ground level behind the scoreboard.
Design Review 02-020 was approved by the Community Development Director on
September 19, 2002.
• STC One/Sprint — The City Council on August 1, 2010 authorized execution of a new
license agreement which became effective on August 1, 2010. The antennas are
located on existing light pole standards and the base facilities are located at ground
level behind the scoreboard. An agreement on this site, a lease, was originally
executed on November 26, 1996 and had expired; the action taken in 2010 was a
new license agreement under the procedures outlined in the Wireless Master Plan.
Design Reviews 96-052 and 99-040 were approved by the Community Development
Director on June 4, 1997 and December 17, 1999, respectively.
• Metro PCS — The City Council authorized execution of a license agreement which
became effective on February 1, 2011. The antennas would be located on a new
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012

light pole standard and the base facilities will be located at ground level behind the
scoreboard.
Design Review 10-019 was approved by the Community Development Director on
October 28, 2010.
There are several pending proposals citywide for wireless facilities located on both
private and City -owned property. A status of each follows:
Other Potential Proposals on City Owned Sites
(1) Citrus Ranch Park - was not identified in the WMP as an optimal site. A preliminary
business proposal was originally offered by Mobilitie, a tower company representing
Verizon Wireless, to RTS Communications in May 2010. The preliminary business
proposal was rejected at the staff level because the business terms being offered
were not favorable. Recently, a second business proposal was offered by Mobilitie
to ATS Communications for this site. ATS is currently reviewing the terms and
conditions of this business proposal and have not completed its review. Upon
completion of its review, it will be forwarded to City staff for review and comments.
(2) Pinetree Park - A proposal for the placement of wireless facilities was proposed to
staff and a Design Review application (DR 10-005) was submitted in February of
2010 but was eventually withdrawn in June of 2011 by a representative of the
applicant, T -Mobile due to design concerns expressed by the Community
Development Department.
Heritage Park - The location of antennas and support facilities has been discussed
with T -Mobile. Preliminary conceptual plans were provided by T -Mobile in April of
2011, but no formal application has been submitted to date.
Private Sites
There are two (2) pending applications involving private sites as follows:
(1) Conditional Use Permit 2011-004 and Design Review 2011-002 is an application
to modify an existing roof mounted wireless facility by increasing the screen
height by four feet in an office complex located at 1421 Edinger Avenue.
(2) Design Review 09-039 is an application to install and operate a wireless
telecommunications facility within a proposed building extension (elevator shaft)
of an existing mini warehouse located at 1671 Edinger Avenue. DR 09-039 was
approved on September 21, 2010; however, this facility has not been installed.

Fiscal Impact/Revenue from Potential of Licensing
License Payments
The City has a standard License Agreement, included in the WMP that is used for
carriers seeking to locate wireless related facilities and antennas on City -owned
properties. Under recently approved License Agreements reflecting today's market
price, Licensees are paying $28,800 per year ($2,400 per month) with an initial license
term of ten (10) years. License payments are escalated annually at a rate of 4.00%.
Over the initial term of the recent agreements, a Licensee will pay $345,776. Of this
license amount, the City will receive 75% or $259,332 with the remaining 25% of the
payments required to be distributed to the City's consultant, Telecom Partners Group,
Inc. (dba ATS Communications, subsequently referred to) pursuant to an existing
Consultant Services Agreement.
Licensees under recent agreements have the option to extend the initial term of a
license agreement with notice to the City for up to two (2) additional five (5) year terms.
Under these recent terms and conditions, if the Licensee were to exercise both five (5)
year options, the City would receive 75% or $643,206 over a twenty (20) year period.
The remaining 25% of the payments would be distributed to ATS Communications. The
co -location of carriers is permitted and encouraged where applicable, based on the
location and type of facilities proposed. Co -location fees are negotiated based on the
type of facilities proposed. The City retains 75% of the revenues received from co -
located carriers, while 25% of the revenues are distributed to ATS Communications.
Capital Contribution
In addition to the License Payments, a one-time Capital Contribution has been required
on recent Licenses which amount is determined by City staff and negotiated with the
Licensee based upon the impact of any facilities on the existing City -owned property.
The Capital Contribution amount is intended for park improvement purposes. With
recent License Agreements, the Capital Contribution amount has been $10,000. The
City retains 100% of any Capital Contribution amount from the Licensee.
3. Application Process
Preliminary Site Location Review for City -owned sites
ATS Communications and City staff from the City Manager's Office, Public Works,
Parks and Recreation and Community Development departments, depending on the
proposed location of the property, review a proposed wireless site and facility plan prior
to an applicant being allowed to submit a formal entitlement application to the
Community Development Department. All three representatives (i.e., ATS
Communications, City Manager's Office and other affected departments who are
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012
Page 6
custodians of the subject property, as applicable) must sign off on a Letter of
Authorization (LOA) in order for the Applicant to be allowed to submit a formal
application to the Community Development Department. The purpose of this process is
to ensure that the proposed facility location does not interfere with the primary
function/use of the City -owned property. In other words, the location of a wireless
facility has been determined to not interfere with park or civic/public uses.
Formal Application Process for Facilities in City -owned sites
Upon the receipt of the Letter of Authorization, applicants follow the process of
submitting plans for design review to the Community Development Director for new
aboveground utility facilities on public property and in the public right-of-way.
There are two provisions of the Tustin City Code (TCC) that apply to this type of
application:
1) Design Review of Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public Property and in the
Public Right of Way under Section 7260 et seq. along with Resolution 01-95
Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility Facilities and their Accessory
Equipment; and
2) Design Review under Section 9272 of Tustin City Code.
Per the Tustin Code (Section 7262), aboveground utility facilities need to meet Design
Review requirements. This requirement applies to existing and future franchisees to
locate replacement or new aboveground utility facilities on public property and in the
public right-of-way.
Pursuant to TCC Section 7264, the Director' shall review the plan (the "Plan") using the
criteria set forth in the Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public
Properties and in the Public Right-of-way (Resolution No. 01-95).
Items considered during the Design Review process are as follows:
• Design Review of Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public Properties and in
the Public Right of Way (TCC 7260 and Resolution 09-95)
1) Location. Aboveground utility facilities on public property and in the public right-of-
way shall be placed in locations where there is little or no interference with public
use of the properties and the rights or reasonable convenience of property owners
who adjoin the properties.
1 For Major Wireless Facilities on Rdyate properties, the Planning Commission must approve a Conditional Use
Permit prior to installation.
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012

2) Stealth Facility. Except for street light poles being used solely for providing
illumination, all other aboveground utility facilities shall be designed as stealth
facilities with concealed antennas to the greatest extent possible to blend into the
surrounding environment or be architecturally integrated.
3) Co -location. Aboveground utility facilities shall be co -located with existing
aboveground utility facilities where possible.
4) Colors. Any part of aboveground utility facilities visible to public view is to have
subdued colors and non -reflective materials which blend with surrounding materials
and colors and with an anti -graffiti material.
5) Screening. For building or structure -mounted facilities, screening shall be
compatible with the existing architecture, color, texture, and/or materials.
6) Landscaping. The landscaping is to be compatible with the surrounding landscape
area.
7) Accessory Equipment. Accessory equipment associated with the operation of the
utility facilities shall be designed, located and be made part of the structures (i.e., as
part of the base or support structure) or be located within buildings, enclosures, or
cabinets in accordance with the guidelines.
8) Undergrounding. The City reserves
including their accessory equipment,
feasible.
• Design Review (TCC 9272)
the right to require that all utility facilities,
be placed underground when technologically
Within the provisions of Section 9272 et seq., to ensure that the location, size,
architectural features, and general appearance of proposed new facilities will be
compatible and harmonious with the development of the area, the Design Review
requires that the following items be considered:
1) Height, bulk, and area of proposed structure.
2) Setbacks and site planning.
3) Exterior material and colors.
4) Towers and antennae.
5) Landscaping and parking area design and traffic circulation.

6) Location and appearance of equipment located outside of an enclosed structure.
7) Physical relationship of proposed structure to existing structures.
8) Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to existing structures
and possible future structures in the neighborhood and public thoroughfares.
9) Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City Council.
Pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 9272, the Community Development Director is
authorized to approve the Design Review if the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of proposed new developments and/or structures will not impair the
orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future development
therein, the occupancy thereof, or the community as a whole.
Any decision of the Community Development Director is appealable to Planning
Commission and the City Council.
Review Subject to Federal Telecommunications Act
The radio frequency emissions standards related to wireless facilities are governed by
the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 regulations. The City and all wireless
providers are subject to these regulations. Local jurisdictions may reasonably regulate
wireless facilities; however, the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 does assert
the following on local governments:
1) Shall not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent
services;
2) Shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal
wireless services;
3) Shall act on any request for authorization to place, construct, or modify personal
wireless service facilities within a reasonable period of time;
4) Any decision to deny a request to place, construct, or modify personal wireless
service facilities shall be in writing;
5) Shall not regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal
wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio
frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the
Commission's (FCC) regulations concerning such emissions.

4. Issues for City Council Discussion
Location of Wireless Facilities on City -owned Property
The City, as the property owner, is not required to license or lease sites to wireless
carriers. However, the City in adopting the Wireless Master Plan and entering into a
contract with ATS Communications encouraged the solicitation of proposals from
wireless carriers on City -owned properties.
The only privately owned wireless facilities located on City -owned property are located
at the Tustin Sports Park. The first carrier was located at the Sports Park in 1996 and
recently a new carrier was approved for location of new wireless facilities in 2011.
Proposals are pending or interest has been shown for location on three other City -
owned parks.
No interest has been shown to date for locations at reservoir sites, well sites, or on City -
owned buildings not housing fire station facilities. There was some initial interest in
locating on City -owned fire station locations. Since these sites are leased to the OCFA,
OCFA staff was contacted by City staff and OCFA representatives indicated that they
were not interested in allowing such installations on fire stations sites because of
potential conflict with their communication system. However, the Orange County
Sheriff -Coroner Department in charge of the 800MHz Countywide Coordinated
Communication System has determined there is no interference. The Sheriff -Coroner's
Office, however, still does not recommend the placement of wireless facilities near
police stations, fire stations, public works yards or public dispatch centers (Attachment
C).
Process for Review of Wireless Communications Facilities on City -owned Property and
within City public right-of-way
Per Tustin City Code Section 9272, the Community Development Director is authorized
to consider Design Review for wireless communication facilities on City -owned sites and
in public right-of-way. Design Review action does not require public hearing and/or
public notice. When the Aboveground Utilities Ordinance on Public Property and within
the Public Right -of -Way was considered by the City Council in 2001, the industry
strongly opposed any regulations of the utility facilities and what they perceived as an
undue local interference with their rights to use the right-of-way including any
consideration before the Planning Commission and the City Council. While the City has
not received much objection to those facilities that have been installed in City -owned
sites and public right-of-way, the recent T -Mobile application raises the question of
whether future applications should require public outreach on City -owned sites, noticing,
and/or public hearings. On this application, the Community Development Director was
instructed to rescind her action on the original design review application and to forward
Agenda Report - Wireless Master Plan
January 17, 2012
Page 10
the design review application to the Planning Commission which thereupon resulted in
Planning Commission and subsequent City Council actions.
The discussion regarding the necessity for public outreach on individual sites might also
involve a discussion of Tustin City Code Section 9276.c(3). Although Tustin City Code
Section 7262 requires an applicant to comply with Design Review requirements as does
procedures in the WMP, Tustin City Code Section 9276.c(3) states as follows: "all
wireless communication facilities to be located within the City of Tustin public -right-of-
way or on property owned by the City of Tustin shall be exempt from the regulations and
guidelines contained herein."
Although, the City has the ability to not grant license agreements to facilities on City -
owned sites, those providers who wish to locate within the public right-of-way have the
right under the Public Utility Commission to locate within the City's right-of-way as other
utilities have. The City in this case is limited to some design regulations as well as the
time, place, and manner in which roads are accessed.
Wireless Coverage throughout the City
In the WMP, it was indicated that the purpose of licensing wireless facilities on City -
owned properties is to increase wireless coverage in areas of the city where coverage is
weak or lacking, mostly in residential areas and in areas of the city where the
topography presented challenges to coverage.
The City does not allow wireless facilities on residential properties pursuant to Tustin
City Code Section 9276; therefore location options available to wireless carriers are
limited. The optimal locations for wireless facilities in heavily populated residential
areas are on non-residential land uses such as parks, reservoirs, well sites, churches,
and schools. OCFA has objected to the location of wireless facilities at Fire Station
sites, including those owned by the City of Tustin. Although the Tustin Unified School
District (TUSD) states it has no policy regarding wireless facilities on its property, it has
only allowed one such facility at Tustin High School in 1986 and the City is not aware of
any other approvals by TUSD within the boundaries of Tustin.
Alternative Locations for Wireless Carriers in Public Right -of -Way
The public right-of-way is an additional, but more complicated alternative to parks or
other locations where antenna height is not an issue. It will likely be the choice of last
resort for the carriers because they can only place their antennas as high as the light
poles, approximately thirty (30) feet. The optimal height for a wireless facility is forty-
five (45) feet to sixty (60) feet, enough to clear the ground clutter, i.e., buildings, trees
and anything else that might interfere with the radio signal. Because of the height issue
more antennas and facilities would be required to serve an area from light poles,
especially in hilly areas such as Tustin Ranch where homes and trees are obstacles.
This would result in a number of smaller installations, and potential visual blight to

provide the same coverage as one conventional wireless facility. ATS Communications
provided an analysis regarding these smaller installations. This analysis was included
as Attachment E.
City staff representatives from the City Manager's Office, Community Development,
Public Works, and Parks and Recreation along with a representative from ATS will be
available for response to any questions.

Wireless Master Plan Study Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Over the last several years, three major factors have impacted the wireless landscape:
7) More people use cellular phones as their primary means of communication;
2) Cell phone usage is increasing as the price declines; and
3) New services and capabilities, requiring greater bandwidths, are exhausting
current cell site (wireless network infrastructure) capacities.
Cities have the opportunity, right, and obligation to be apart of the solution to this
growing dilemma.
There are concerns with the deployment of new towers, which are occurring in densely
populated areas where additional bandwidth in needed due to high usage. Previously
antennas were placed on commercial properties, existing towers, and non-residential
areas, but the majority of these properties are currently occupied and carriers are
looking for alternatives.
Due to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 carriers have the authority to place sites in
the public right of way without City approval. This creates tension between carriers and
cities, due to the fact that local ordinances, zoning, and planning objectives are
neglected. The WMP is the process created by ATS to rationalize the placement of new
sites to meet the need.
In 2002, ATS Communications (ATS) recognized the growing need for reliable, efficient
wireless planning. Wireless planning, which involves collecting accurate data, to create
information, has been rationalized by ATS and assembled in the Wireless Master Plan
(WMP). The WMP is a working document created by ATS in order to provide
information to manage the growth and evolution of wireless communications
infrastructure within cities.
The goal of the WMP can be summated in one sentence; to facilitate future network
expansion while maximizing City revenue and decrease blight. Before this goal can be
achieved, the information that comprises the WMP must be collected and analyzed.
The process begins by completing an inventory of all existing cell sites, both public and
private, in the City. In the field, while conducting the inventory, the longitude and
latitude, the build, and the carrier of each site is determined. This information is used
to conduct a radio frequency analysis in order to find the potential need for future sites.
The geo-coded location of future sites are cross referenced with the location of City
properties, and the potential future sites are identified. This study indentified 6
potential cell site locations with six different carriers.
The carriers that are currently in the marketplace are Verizon, AT&T, T -Mobile,
MetroPCS, Sprint PCS, and Nextel. Each carrier has their own network deployed in the
field, but some companies are running on different bandwidth frequency. There is more
information in the pages that follow regarding the methodologies of the radio frequency
engineering analysis, the individual wireless carriers, and their coverage.

The radio frequency analysis produces maps that show each individual carriers' coverage
in the City. The maps included in the WMP can be compared to show the existing
coverage and the future coverage. The future coverage is determined by overlaying the
existing coverage with the coverage of the proposed sites. There are also maps that
show the location of each carriers' sites amongst the other existing sites.
For each site identified there is additional due diligence that must take place to
determine if the location is a viable candidate. Both the wireless carriers and the City
have determining factors that contribute to this conclusion. For example, zoning, soil
condition, cost of rent, etc.
Once the site is determined viable the carrier goes through a site development process,
which includes soil testing, drawings and photo simulations, approvals and permits, and
executing the lease.
The WMP incorporates the design standards recommended for the City's approval. The
design standards review the general types of cell sites antennas and equipment
enclosures. Each antenna has recommended locations for usage and design
specifications. For example, with a monopalm there are specifics regarding the color of
the fronds and the bark cladding, the concealment of the antenna and cables, and the
height of the tower, which will make it possible for co -location.
Also included in the WMP is background information regarding the evolution of the
telecommunications industry and its regulations at different levels of government.

City of Tustin
Wireless Master Pian Study Introduction
Wireless Master Plan Introduction
Goals
The goals and objectives for the City's wireless facilities deployment are:
1) Facilitate future network development through a proactive approach;
implementing the WMP;
2) Mitigate the visual impact of towers and antennas by employing "stealth"
technology into design standards;
3) Reduce the number of cell sites through a coordinated co -location process;
and
4) Maximize the economic benefit to the City
This process will reduce the time expended by both the city and the wireless carriers in
the application and site development process. Pre -approved locations and designs on
city -owned property creates incentives for the wireless companies to enhance their
networks, while the city benefits with an additional revenue stream. Thus, both the city
and the carrier will experience greater efficiency throughout the wireless network
enhancement projects.
Methodology
Detailed information about each wireless existing site is collected and field verified to
determine current wireless network infrastructure. ATS identifies each major wireless
carrier's (Cingular, AT&T, Metro PCS, Nextel, Sprint, T -Mobile and Verizon) present
locations and the corresponding signal coverage. This information is analyzed, using
radio frequency engineering signal propagation and coverage prediction modeling
software, to generate existing coverage maps for each of the major carrier's networks.
The city's population densities, traffic patterns and physical terrain are taken into
account during the analysis. The compilation of this information enables ATS to view

Each existing city sites is considered as a candidate for future co -location, which is
placing multiple carriers at one site. Design recommendations, height requirements and
other considerations will be discussed for each future location. This process minimizes
the time required by staff to handle cell site applications and review development design
proposals. The site-specific design standards will be acceptable to the City, while
meeting the wireless carriers' needs. The carrier, the city, and ATS work together

While the entire inventory of city -owned property was considered, 39 cell sites currently
exist on public and private property throughout the city. Depending on the location and
design of the existing sites, the placement of a site on city -owned property in close
proximity to an existing site may be unnecessary.
While this study aims to identify new cell site locations for future wireless sites on city -
owned property, does not preclude wireless carriers from targeting private property sites
for network deployment.

Wireless Networks and Cell Sites
Cellular and Personal Communications Systems (PCS), which are commonly referred to as "cell
phones," are integral to our daily lives. As consumers become more reliant on these devices,
the need for additional antennas, or "cell sites", to support these customers also increases. The
Cellular Telecommunication Industry Association (CTIA) reports that when they began their
semi-annual survey of the industry in June 1985, there were an estimated 203,600 domestic
cellular subscribers. By 2007, that number grew to over 250,000,000 customers. Currently,
the corresponding wireless infrastructure that services over 250 million subscribers is estimated
at approximately 230,000 cell sites.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued, through public auction, a limited
number of licensed frequencies to wireless services providers, such as Verizon Wireless, T -
Mobile, SprinVNextel, AT&T Mobility (a.k.a. Cingular and Cricket carriers). For the carriers to
receive these frequency licenses, the FCC mandates that they must provide seamless coverage
throughout the licensed market area assigned for those frequencies.
In order to fully understand cellular service, an explanation of "cellular" and "cell site" concepts
is necessary. In the first years of mobile wireless communications, carriers needed to provide
subscriber coverage. To do so effectively, they limited their frequencies. Frequency spectrum
reuse is accomplished by allocating a set number of frequencies to each wireless
communications facility. (These frequencies are represented as hexagonal "cells" [shown
below], which represent geographical areas.) Each cell utilizes a different frequency set than its
neighboring cells. However, the next cell over (the adjacent shaded cell) can reuse the same
frequencies as the original (shaded) cell. This pattern repeats throughout the geographical
market area, creating a wireless communications network of cells, which are called "cell sites."
Hence, because of this cell network, the term "cellular" communications is appropriate.
Figure 1
Wireless communications networks develop using two underlying objectives that govern cell site
placement: to provide coverage and to provide capacity. Together, these two objectives
contribute to a network's overall customer Quality of Service.
The first and main objective, is to provide coverage throughout the carrier's licensed market
area. This is accomplished by locating new cell sites in areas where existing coverage is either
unavailable or unreliable. These locations can be on the market area's periphery (where new
population growth occurs), in newly -licensed markets (in which the carrier has no existing
12
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan Study Wireless Networks
network infrastructure) or within an existing network (in which technical issues, such as
topographical constraints, cause service interruptions or gaps). These gaps, or areas known as
"holes," cause dropped calls.
The other objective, network capacity, critically affects a wireless network's viability. Capacity is
driven by demand, and a cell site can only handle a finite number of calls to meet this demand.
As more customers use the network, greater demands are placed upon this limited frequency
capacity, or bandwidth, of the cell site. When a cell site's bandwidth reaches its maximum
capacity, customer call blocking and dropped calls result. Ultimately, maximization of
bandwidth causes poor Quality of Service. A carrier attempts to minimize or eliminate
insufficient capacity issues by dividing a cell; in other words, it introduces a new cell site
between existing cells to off-load customer call volume.
Site Selection
All wireless carriers constantly seek to improve their Quality of Service by enhancing their
wireless network infrastructures. This process begins when Radio Frequency (RF) engineers
collect data on network performance. RF engineers pinpoint the networks' coverage problem
areas by reviewing the recorded number of dropped calls or missed calls over the networks.
The RF engineering team visits the areas of concern to determine the best technical locations
for new cell sites. Then, the RF engineer issues "search rings," or maps of the general areas
where new cell sites are needed. Typically, focal areas have less than one-quarter mile radii,
but they may be even smaller, depending on environmental constraints such as terrain,
vegetation and buildings.
The next step in the process is performed by a Site Acquisition Specialist. The Site Acquisition
Specialist uses an RF engineer's search map to identify the general locations of suitable
properties that are cell site development candidates. However, the criteria that are employed
at this stage often contradict the RF engineer's desired criteria. The site acquisition criteria for a
geographically suitable property must be "leasable," "zonable" and "buildable," but it still must
be viable from an RF engineering perspective. Hence, the carrier and the landowner must agree
on business terms, the site must possess a reasonable likelihood of obtaining all necessary
entitlements (permits), the site must be constructed within a reasonable budget and meet RF
engineering objectives.
Higher elevation properties prove to be the best cell site locations because they allow clear
lines -of -sight for radio -transmitted signals. Yet, this fact presents a siting dilemma since, in
many instances — and especially in established communities — the desired locations (to provide
the best radio coverage) lie within residential areas. Carriers typically select commercial
property cell site options to avoid or minimize controversial zoning and land use issues.
However, as network infrastructure continues to expand, viable options for cell sites become
increasingly limited. This trend has forced carriers to seek sites within residential areas, school
properties, parks and the city's other public rights-of-way.
Siting issues compound as the wireless service providers compete for both customers and
suitable new cell site locations. The onus rests on local governments to manage and coordinate
cell site proliferation throughout their communities. Local control and coordination are
necessary because independent wireless services companies do not generally benefit from
13
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan Study Wireless Networks
collaboration. In fact, an industry effort to coordinate network facility co -location is contrary to
the spirit of business competition and raise concerns over collusion, monopoly and other
regulatory issues.
It is apparent that a process that coordinates and manages cell site growth is necessary and
prudent to future wireless network infrastructures in any well-planned community. Therefore,
the creation of a Wireless Master Plan provides a means to facilitate wireless network growth
that meets both wireless companies' and subscribers' needs.
selection Criteria
Managing or coordinating future cell site development requires the City to adopt certain cell site
design standards. Each property possesses distinct characteristics that require unique cell site
development approaches. A carrier must consider the following cell site selection criteria:
• Topography
• Coverage area
• Tower design or type
• Antenna height
• Antenna array or antenna selection
• Antenna orientation
• Cable run (distance from the base station equipment to the antennas)
• Surrounding vegetation and/or structures
• Proximity to electrical power and telephone services
• Access to the public right-of-way
• Equipment and tower space limitations
• Soil composition
• Site development costs
• Rent
Simultaneously, a local government considers the following cell site selection criteria:
• Site location
• Tower design or type
• Structure height
• Area zoning (residential, open space, commercial, industrial or institutional)
• Screening and integration
• View impact
• Landscaping
• Access
• Co -location
These two set of criteria sometimes present conflicting objectives. Wireless service providers
seek sites that maximize coverage area at minimum cost. These goals, from the carriers'
perspectives, correspond to building towers high enough to overcome topographical limitations
and possible vegetation or structural interference, while also including space for a full array of
antennas (typically 12 antennas divided into three arrays, or "sectors," and a microwave dish).
Furthermore, the carriers seek locations possessing close proximities to power, telephone and
14
City of Tustin

Wireless Networks
street access, adequate space for equipment shelters and generator space. The preceding
criteria foster basic cell tower sites that are not aesthetically attractive, and would not be
welcome in suburban/ residential settings.

Wireless Technology Background
"Wireless telecommunications" generally describes those services known to the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) as Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS). Currently,
the majority of CMRS is encompassed within the radio telephony segment: Cellular Telephone
Services (800 to 900 MHz range), Personal Communications Services (PCS) (1800 to 1900 MHz
range), and Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR). By the end of 2003, 97% of U.S. residents had
access to three or more providers of these services, and more than 160 million people
subscribed to these services. Nationwide, over 54% of the population use CMRS services, and in
Southern California, over 61% utilize CMRS services. During 2003, radio telephony generated
over $88 billion in revenue. These facts prove that CMRS, and especially radio telephony, are
major factors in the majority of the United States population's daily lives.
Modern radiotelephony began with analog Cellular Telephone Service. While AT&T originally
developed cellular technology in 1958, it did not become commercially available until the FCC
began licensing cellular providers in 1982. Cellular licenses are allocated in two bands (A & B)
within the 800 MHz area of the radio spectrum. Since 1991, two carriers have been licensed in
each of the nation's 734 Cellular Market Areas. During the 1990s, most cellular service was
transitioned from analog to digital signal transmission. Although cellular operators must retain
analog service availability until 2008, digital service greatly improved reception for cellular
customers.
In addition to Cellular Telephone Service, first generation services also include Specialized
Mobile Radio (SMR), whose best known provider in Southern California is Nextel. In 1979, the
FCC began licensing SMR in both the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands and, since that time, the
FCC has also auctioned off spectrum for SMR services. To date, 1900 MHz of exclusive spectrum
and 7.5 GHz of shared spectrum are allocated to SMR. SMR provides for both one-on-one and
simultaneous group communications through "dispatch mode" operations. It also provides
radiotelephony through "interconnected mode" operations, which connect the radios to the
regular land line telephone network. Due to various interference issues between SMR and public
safety radio systems, the federal government requires SMR providers to relocate from the 800
MHz band to the 1900 MHz band.
In 1995, the second generation of radiotelephony services was introduced with the advent of
Broadband PCS. PCS integrates cellular telephony with additional services, such as paging and
text messaging. Digital signals in the 1850-1990 MHz bands deliver all PCS services. Unlike
cellular, whose spectrum was allocated by the FCC through traditional regulatory licensing,
Broadband PCS spectrum was allocated through auctions. The A and B blocks of the Broadband
PCS spectrum, both of which are 30 MHz wide, were auctioned on the basis of 51 Major Trading
Areas (MTAs). The remaining blocks (the 30 MHz C block and the 10 MHz D, E and F blocks)
were auctioned based on 493 Basic Trading Areas (BTAs).
The third generation of radio telephony, commonly called "3G," is generally implemented as a
Broadband PCS enhancement. 3G technology requires high-speed digital transmission to
support various multimedia applications, including email and internet access. The FCC also
plans to auction an additional 90 MHz of spectrum, in the 1710-1755 MHz and 2110-2155 MHz
bands, specifically for advanced wireless services like 3G and 4G. Fourth generation, known as
119,
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan Study Wireless Communications Background
"4G" or "beyond 3G," will provide high-speed advanced wireless communication services,
including comprehensive IP solutions that deliver voice data and multimedia to users at any
location and/or time.
In addition to radiotelephony, CMRS includes two other elements: paging and Narrowband PCS.
Licensees in these spectrum bands provide paging and both one- and two-way text messaging
services. While these services may seem outdated, companies continue to find new market
niches that need or desire these services.
Evolution of Wireless Technologies
Current cellular technology provides users with access to television broadcasts and live
streaming video. The future of wireless technology promises an utterly ubiquitous wireless
environment that offers even greater global high-speed data service access for a wide variety of
devices. The emergence of the 802.16 (WiMAX) standard adds a new opportunity to provide
high-speed data access to a new wave of Internet users. As the successor to 802.11a/g aimed
at consumer applications that require very high throughput (like HDTV and streaming video),
802.11n possesses a fourfold increase in bandwidth to support increasing demands of high
volume data networks over the next few years.
These technologies will continue to evolve and cross-pollinate with both licensed and unlicensed
bands, including PCS and VoIP (voice -carrying) networks. Hence, there is a common opinion
throughout academia, industry and business that the current wireless technology fulfills neither
current nor future demands," according to those'behind the Wireless Gigabit with Advanced
Multimedia (WIGWAM) project. WIGWAM is seen as an early version of the next generation of
802.11n looking for Gbps speeds, which is the interactive speed and bandwidth necessary for
the next generation of wireless services envisioned.
These new technologies and services entice both youth and adult markets. However, the
majority of marketing dollars are spent on the youth market — with an age range of 12 to 24
years old — even though they do not make up the majority of the population. Wireless
companies promote new cell phones, such as Helio and Amp'd Mobile, to provide these
services. Helio's commercial, which states, "It's not a phone," accurately captures the new
direction in which these devices are moving.
As a result, many more cell sites are necessary to provide future services. Over the next few
years, the landscape of wireless technology, new devices and the bandwidth necessary to meet
the demands of the consumer will be dynamic. As wireless technology evolves, its supporting
infrastructure will change in order to keep pace with new consumer needs. Technological
evolution cannot occur if the infrastructure necessary to support it does not exist, and analysts
anticipate that the number of existing cell sites, for any given area, will double or triple in order
to provide the bandwidth needed. for these services.
Many industry analysts also expect that devices like PDAs, Pods, cameras, video cameras, and
even wallets will be replaced by multiple -feature cell phones. Unlike Europe, Asia and South
America, the United States has been slow to embrace these new technologies and services, but
a growing number of companies believe that the American consumer is finally ready.

DAS Networks
Carriers often face poor signal quality in areas that are topographically isolated or in high-
density urban environments. Moreover, when trying to improve their Quality of Service (QoS)
by constructing new towers, they face opposition from local communities. These issues couple
with the needed bandwidth for today's mobile data communications services, requires a new
approach to efficiently develop network infrastructure.
The Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) network is an emerging phenomenon in wireless
network deployments. While DAS is not new technology, it possesses a new application with
outdoor open network usage. Traditionally, DAS networks were utilized in indoor environments
like subways, tunnels, sports complexes, airports and convention centers.
DAS networks typically use existing infrastructure, such as telephone poles and streetlights, to
expand carrier networks. They deploy small antennas distributed throughout a geographic
area. The antenna locations, referred to as "nodes," are interconnected by fiber optic cables to
a central hub location. One remarkable aspect of a DAS network is its usage of shared
infrastructure to support multiple wireless carriers within defined geographical areas.
This network solution promises to address many of the carriers' coverage and capacity needs,
while also minimizing the aesthetic and zoning issues that concern local governments.
However, DAS network deployments are still relatively unused when compared to the overall
scheme of carrier deployments nationwide.

T -Mobile and Cricket are relatively new players in the wireless industry; they previously shared

divest part of its wireless network, so it chose to sell its former Pacific Bell locations to T -Mobile.
As part of this transition, each carrier is in the process of moving their customers to separate
networks in order to give each company time to fill in coverage holes.
In addition, two new wireless companies joined the Southern California market, Metro PCS (dba
Royal Street Communications) and Modeo. While Metro PCS competes head-on with the other

major wireless carriers, Modeo is a subsidiary of one of the major tower companies and is
expected to use its infrastructure to develop its network.

City of Tustin
Wireless Master Plan Study Regulatory Issues
Regulatory Issues
Federal
Three principal Acts allow Congress to provide a comprehensive federal regulatory scheme over
wireless telecommunications, thereby preempting State and local regulations. The first Act is
the Communications Act of 1934. This Act created the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), giving it regulatory responsibility for interstate communications, both wired and wireless.
Second, the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act eliminates States' abilities to regulate
wireless providers' entries and rates.
Finally, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 overhauls the 1934 Act, focusing on creating a
competitive telecommunications market by eliminating the barriers to entry and the "public
utility model" monopolies that were the telecommunications industry's principal features under
the 1934 Act. The major exception to federal preemption under the 1996 Act is local zoning
authority, which is specifically reserved for State and local governments.
Under the 1934 and 1996 Acts, the FCC exercises regulatory authority over wireless
communication providers, including spectrum allocation (through traditional public interest
allocations or auctions), carrier licensing, and the design, manufacture and operations of
equipment. In addition, the FCC enforces comprehensive radio frequency exposure regulations
to protect the public from dangerous radio frequency emission levels.
Aside from the 1934 and 1996 Acts, wireless telecommunications providers may fall under a
number of additional federal regulations. In order to avoid being hazardous to air navigation,
wireless facilities must comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations with regards to
height and proximity to airport facilities.
Projects in certain federal priority areas, including federal property, wilderness areas, wildlife
preserves, endangered species habitats, historical sites, Native American religious sites, flood
plains and wetlands may require environmental assessments under the National Environmental
Protection Act.
Wireless facilities that contain backup battery and generator systems may also be subject to
federal regulations under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, and the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act.
state
Due to federal preemption, the State plays a limited role in wireless telecommunications'
regulatory issues beyond the Labor, Tax and similar Acts applicable to all business enterprises in
the State. The zoning exception, however, does provide an opportunity for State regulation.
Since the State.generally delegates land use authority to local government, State regulation is
generally limited to those special cases when the State retains zoning authority. Such cases
include the Coastal Zone, where the Coastal Commission exercises regulatory authority, and
hospital sites, where the Office of Statewide Health and Planning Development exercises
21
City of Tustin
Wireless Master Plan Study Regulatory Issues
authority. In addition, wireless facilities must meet the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Local
The 1996 Act's exception for zoning regulation causes local governments to have the most
direct impacts on wireless facility locations and their visual appearances (with respect to
placement, construction, and modification). However, this authority is limited. Local
governments may not "unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent
services," enact regulations that prohibit wireless facilities, or prohibit facilities based on the
concern of radio frequency emissions, for which the FCC sets regulations.
Further, local governments are required to act in a timely manner on a wireless placement
permission request. If a request is rejected, it must be placed in a written record that is
supported by substantial evidence. Applicants who are denied authorization for facility
placement may file actions in court that challenge the denial, and they are then entitled to
expedited hearings in court. If a denial is based on radio frequency emission, the applicant may
appeal that denial to the FCC instead of the court.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (TCA) allows state and local governments to enact
ordinances governing the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities [§TCA Section 332
(c)(7)]. Nonetheless, local governments become increasingly embroiled in lawsuits filed by the
common carriers over restrictive local ordinances, violating Section 253(a) of the TCA [§ 253(a) -
(e)(1994 & Supp. 11 1996)) (hereinafter "removing barriers")]. Recently, the courts have struck
down restrictive ordinances or ordinances that are "so onerous" that they restrict wireless
network development, as in the following case: Sprint Telephony PCS, L.P. v. County of San
Diego, Nos. 05-56076, 05-56435 (9`h Cir. June 13, 2007).
Local governments regulate, but cannot prohibit, wireless communication facility placement on
sites like schools, in residential zones and in public rights-of-way. Furthermore, according to
the TCA § 332 (c)(7)(B), "Limitations (iv) - No State of local government or instrumentality
thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service
facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent
that such facilities comply with the commission's regulations concerning such emissions. "
Radio Frequency Emissions
Wireless site emissions cannot be directly regulated by the City. The Telecommunications Act of
1996, 704 Section B, states that State or local governments may not regulate wireless facilities
on the basis of environmental effects of radio frequency emissions if the applicant demonstrates
compliance with FCC regulations.
It is important to understand the guidelines under which such sites are regulated. The
government bases the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels upon National ANSI, IEEE
and international standards. The FCC established these health and radio emission standards,
and the guidelines for. measuring and analyzing RF Emissions were created by the FCC's Office
of Engineering and Technology (OET) 65. This Office writes a periodic bulletin called "Evaluating
22
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan
ulatory Issues
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic
Fields."
This bulletin aids engineers and other qualified persons, guiding them toward correct
determinations about whether specific sites meet emission requirements. Typical cellular tower
transmissions are relatively low in power, so FCC -outlined emissions rarely present issues. The
distance from a transmitting antenna to the nearest structure is usually greater than the FCC
requirement, and emissions fall well below the MPE threshold.
Another excellent FCC-oridyced reference is entitled, "A Local Governments Official's Guide to
RF Emission Antenna Safety. " Rules, Procedures and Practical Guidance are available on the
FCC's RF safety web page at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

ATS identified 39 active cell sites at 33 locations throughout Tustin. Of the 39 existing cell sites, T -
Mobile has the most facilities, possessing 11 locations. Sprint PCS, Nextel, and AT&T each have 7
sites. While Verizon and Metro PCS possess 5 and 2, respectively. Analysts observe eight different
antenna structure styles, the most common is a stealth roof mount.
The proposed sites were developed using the radio frequency engineering analysis. These sites were
identified by locating the carrier's absent coverage areas and plotting the findings on city property.
These identified sites serve as probable areas for future development, meaning they are the closest
approximation to the carrier's coverage gaps. But these selected locations do not necessarily fit the
City's desires for placement or the carrier's coverage and capacity goals.
The maps below present three different pictures to the City: the coverage that currently exists, the
additional coverage that is needed (proposed coverage), and the final picture of what exists and what
is proposed, which shows the future deployment in the City. The maps provided are shown for each
of the major carriers that service the City.
These maps also show the strength of the coverage provided by each site located within the City.
The legend provided on each map will enable the user to see the outdoor coverage versus the indoor
coverage by carrier. The goal of the wireless carriers is to attain indoor coverage for their users.
This will enable individuals to have cellular reception in their home and office. By attaining this

Sprint PCS recently announced its plans to develop and deploy the first fourth generation (4G)

will likely enhance its network throughout Orange.
It is probable that Sprint PCS will employ clauses in the Nextel's agreements, enhancing its networks
within those facilities' bounds. Even so, the higher frequency ranges needed to facilitate 4G
technology require additional sites.
In 2006 and 2007 Sprint added thousands of cell sites and enhancements to its national wireless
network, spending approximately $13 billion dollars. Sprint is aiming to have both networks, Sprint
and Nextel, performing at optimum levels with fewer dropped and blocked call while their consumers
are using new technology features.
The chart below shows locations identified as potential candidates for Sprint's build. We anticipate
that, with Nextel's frequency change and Sprint's aggressive live sports video marketing, site demand
may exceed this analysis.

T-Mobi/e
T -Mobile is a subsidiary of the German company Deutsche Telekom AG. It entered Southern
California's market in 2003, sharing its network with Cingular. As part of Cingular's acquisition of
AT&T Wireless (currently AT&T), it sold the portions of its network that were sites acquired from its
Pacific Bell acquisition.
In order to transition its customers from AT&T (Cingular) sites, T -Mobile plans to enhance its network
using an aggressive build plan. T -Mobile's Radio Frequency engineers indicate that its three-year build
plan calls for approximately 1,700 sites each year within the Southern California region. With a steady
increase in customers from 2006, T -Mobile will need to continue their expansion of sites in order to
maintain their awarded achievement of "2007 Highest in Overall Customer Satisfaction with Wireless
Retail Service".

Verizon Wireless
Wireless Infrastructure
Headquartered in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon
Communications and Vodafone. With 54 million customers across the country, Verizon Wireless is
second in subscribers only to AT&T. In this market, Verizon is transitioning from the cellular network
(800 to 900 MHz) to the PCS network (1800 to 1900 MHz) to prepare for the next generation of
products and services.
Verizon operates in both the cellular and PCS frequency ranges, the cellular (850 MHz) range reaches
further than the higher PCS (1900 MHz) range. For Verizon Wireless to maintain its customer base,
especially with new competitors entering the market, it is expected that its build plan will increase
dramatically over the following years.
In order to compete with other wireless carriers' new services, Verizon Wireless must move to the
PCS range, which allows for greater data bandwidths services like streaming video, games and mobile
phone Internet access.

Metro PCS
Metro PCS offers PSC, or broadband personal communication services, to consumers with no long
term contract, a flat rate, and unlimited usage in regards to minutes. Metro PSC has been around
since 2002, and it the fastest growing PCS providers in the United States. They provide service to 14
of the 25 large metropolitan cities and their surroundings areas in the country.
In 2007 there was widespread news of a merger between Metro PCS and Leap Wireless International.
MetroPCS withdrew from the merger in order to focus on realizing it's stand-alone growth
opportunities. In 2007 there was a service launch in Los Angeles, and its expected that there will be
continued launches by late 2008 or early 2009.

Wireless MasterPlan Study Radio Frequency Analysis
Radio Frequency Engineering Methodologies
To model and calculate existing carrier coverage, RF engineers used the following assumptions and
data:
1. Structure heights are either known or estimated at fifty feet
2. Field -verified Latitudes and Longitudes
3. Carrier antenna orientations are not taken into account during the initial study
4. A theoretical Isotropic (perfectly round globe) 10dBd omni antenna is used for all
propagations
5. Thirty -meter (1 arc sec) terrain elevation data is used for propagation predictions
6. One- and two -meter Satellite Aerial Imagery is used, and thirty -meter (1 arc sec) terrain is
used to overlay Aerial Imagery
7. No Clutter data is included as part of the propagation calculations
8. The Longley Rice model is used, with the percentage of time set to 70%, the percentage of
location set to 85%, and the margin set at 18 as a conservative correction factor
9. Electrical or mechanical down tilt, sectorization, directional or high gain antennas are not
used for this output
10. Signal strength thresholds for the color propagation levels are set to -75dBm Green, -85dBm
Blue, -90dBm Yellow, —98dBm Brown and-104dBm Red
11. Receiver threshold limit is set at-104dBm
12. Full transmit power (ERP) is set to twenty Watts at all of the sites' hatch plates, after which
typical cable loss is inserted base on structure height to closer model the real life signal
losses occurred for each site. 7/8 inch cable was used for the loss calculations with a total of
12ft of 1/2 inch for jumpers
13. Duplexers, surge suppressors and any other connector line are inserted at .8 dB total loss.
Total ERPs for all sites ranged between 96 and 141 Watts, with heights ranging from 8 feet
to 100 feet
14. Cellular and SMR frequencies are set to 875MHz and PCS at 1960MHz
As part of the initial comprehensive cursory analysis, engineers produced propagations for each
carrier's on -air site. This study aims to determine the highest probability of each network's reliable
coverage, in conjunction with each carrier's ability to pursue its short and long term growth
strategies. Since each carrier's actual RF engineered settings were not entered and reproduced, the
methods used here generate common predictions for overall systems by using relaxed modeling.
Sectorization, directional antennas, downtilts and power were not directly estimated in the modeling
per each carrier's actual settings, so this output represents a "perfect" antenna of equal signal gain of
10 d6. Due to this propagation method, growth strategies should still reflect the probability of areas
where carriers may need additional sites for better overall footprint coverage and/or to address
capacity issues. However, this data does not confirm areas that have coverage that may not really
exist, and vice versa.

Inventory of City Property
The following table lists all city -owned properties. All properties are initially evaluated as
possible wireless facility location candidates. However, parcels are removed from
consideration if they exhibit development limitations and can not be considered viable sites to
place support structures for wireless antennas and accompanying telecommunications
equipment.
City properties that are within a quarter -mile of identified coverage gaps are typically
proposed as properties to target for development. But this does not prohibited carriers from
targeting adjacent private properties that better accommodate coverage needs, leasing terms,
or build area.

City Property Evaluation & Marketing
In order to evaluate city -owned property, all parcels are geo-coded. This information is the minimum
profile necessary for initial property marketing. The list of geo-coded properties is immediately
available to the carriers for review and enhancement to their wireless network.
When evaluating and marketing properties to wireless carriers several factors need to be considered,
1. The ground height's relationship with the surrounding area, the ASML,
2. Suitable height for antennas according to the City's zoning standards, and
3. The carrier's coverage, capacity objectives, customer usage and newly available wireless
services

Recommendations
Design Standards
n Standards
The cell site design standards are presented below with a brief description of the appearance
and its typical use.
General Types of Cell Sites
Antennas and Mounting Systems:
• Whip antenna —a thin, metal/fiberglass pole that serves as a receiving and
transmitting device. Typically, this antenna measures 18 inches to ten feet in length
and one-half inch to four inches in diameter. This is typically installed on fire
department buildings, police department buildings and city maintenance facilities.
• Light standard with flush -mounted antennas — usually found at sports fields with
ballpark lighting. The antenna panels are mounted near the pole and under the
lights. However, antennas can also be placed within a "stealth" cylinder on top of a
light standard.
• Flagpole antenna— a slim line monopole with a flag attached. It has a thicker
diameter than a typical flagpole.
• Monopole — a tall pole topped with a triangular structure to mount the antenna
array. This one of the earlier design types used for wireless communications
facilities.
• Slim -line monopole — a slender pole mounted with a four- to six-foot high radome
that has an 18- to 24 -inch diameter to conceal the antennas.
• Lattice power line towers — a design takes advantage of the existing lattice tower
power transmission used by the utility companies.
• Water tank — uses a pre-existing, above -ground structure to attach antennas.
• Monopine — similar to a monopole design pole with simulated bark covering, in
addition to simulated branches and pine needles.
• Monopalm — covers a monopole design with palm fronds and a growth pod as a
means to hide the cell site's antennas.
• Monobroadleaf — mimics a broadleaf tree to hide antennas, using the same
monopole structure.
• Lollypop — consists of a thin pole that holds a panel antenna. It is employed in open
space or below the ridgeline in canyons or areas of hilly terrain. Sometimes the
antenna is blended with faux or natural vegetation.
• Building fatiade mounted antenna — installed by flush -mounting the antenna to the
building's faQade and painting it to match the wall's color and texture. In some
cases, the antenna is incorporated into or hidden by one of the structure's design
elements.
• "Stealth" installations — A "stealth" installation include monuments, faux chimney,
rooftop parapet, rooftop screen walls, steeple, clock tower, faux rocks, faux water
tanks

Proposed Design Standards
Design Standards
We recommend that the City adopt the following design standards into all cell site
development guidelines:
Antenna Mounting Systems:
Whip Antennas
• Antennas 18 inches or less in length should be allowed on any existing structure
and zone.
• Antennas 60 inches or less in length should be allowed on any commercial or
industrial building provided that the antenna does not exceed the roof line by
more than ten feet
• A whip antenna's base should be set back from the roof's edge by a distance
equal to its height.
Light Standards
• Allowed in all zones with low profile/flush-mounted antennas and up to 35 feet
high
• Antennas should be painted to match the light standard and all cables should be
concealed within the light standard.
• The radome should not exceed 18 inches in diameter and 6.5 feet in height.
• New ball field light standards should be subject to conditional use permits, as
long as they do not exceed 65 feet in height.
Flagpoles
• If the pole does not exceed 55 feet in height, and the antenna is concealed
inside the pole, they should be allowed in any zone.
• The radome must not exceed an 18 -inch diameter.
• The poles must be able to fly flags. If the flags are U.S. flags that are not
removed every day at sunset, the flagpoles must be lit.
• The pole diameters should be the minimum necessary to meet engineering
requirements to accompany and conceal the inner coaxial cabling.
• Different carriers' antennas should be distributed on multiple light poles to
minimize the poles' overall diameters.
Monopoles
• Not allowed, except as "slim -line" monopoles.
• New antenna co -location on existing sites should only be permitted by a
conditional use permit .
Slim -line monopoles
• Antennas and cables should be mounted inside the structures and the radomes
exceeding an 18 -inch diameter should not be allowed.
• The structures' colorings should be light grey, olive green or light blue to better
blend in with their backgrounds.
Lollypop antenna
• Approved only when other "stealth" installation types are more intrusive, such as
on steep slopes or hillsides where they attract more attention.
• Installed below ridgelines wherever possible to stop the antennas' profiles from
appearing above a slope top.
• Cross braces between individual antenna poles add additional bulk to the
installation, and should be discouraged.
64
City of Tustin
Wireless Master Plan
n Standards
• Antennas and their support poles must be painted the appropriate colors that
match the surrounding environment.
• In cases where irrigation is available, natural shrubs must be planted behind
lollypop antennas.
• In cases where irrigation is unavailable or impractical, faux shrubs (subject to
staff review) are installed to conceal antenna arrays.
• All coaxial cables that connect the antennas to their accompanying
telecommunications equipment cabinet are run underground.
• The antennas' heights from the base do not exceed 15 feet.
Building facade mount
• Patch (usually 12 inches high) antennas and antennas less than 1.5 square feet
in surface area that are mounted to a building fagade are covered and painted to
match existing faQade's color and texture. They are also mounted flush to the
building or with low -profile brackets, as well as skirted. The antennas' profile
does not extend more than 12 inches from the building faQade's face.
• Antennas with surface areas greater than 1.5 square feet that are mounted any
commercial building's facade are fully screened using materials that match the
existing facade's color and texture.
• Antenna screening systems must be architecturally integrated to the greatest
possible extent.
• Antenna screens must be fully enclosed to prevent birds from nesting in the
screen structures.
• The faQade mounted antennas and screening must not exceed 18 inches from
the existing building's face and must be designed to the minimum feasible depth.
• The structure's walls, conduits, chases or concealment type devices that are
integrated into the building's architecture must hide all coaxial cables to the
greatest possible extent. All exposed cable is painted to match the underlying
surface.
Lattice towers
No new types of lattice towers should be allowed.
Power line towers
• Co -location on existing power line towers should be allowed.
• Antennas should be mounted to the vertical portion of the structure, using low -
profile mounting brackets.
• All pipe -mounts must be concealed behind the antenna. The accompanying
coaxial cables should be run on the tower structure's inside.
• Accompanying telecommunications equipment should be located under or close
to the tower structure. The equipment should be enclosed by a screen.
Water tanks
• Antennas mounted on the top of the structure should be concealed behind
screening that does not exceed six feet.
• Antennas, coaxial cables, and screening should be painted to match the color of
the structure.

Wireless Master Plan Study Design Standards
In evaluating the appropriate design for a particular property, existing uses of the property,
landscaping and optimal location of the facility must be considered.
As the wireless industry and its services evolve, its equipment will change as well. The WMP will
need periodic updates to incorporate the wireless industry's changing environment and the
progress made toward "stealthing" antennas and equipment.

Design Considerations
In evaluating the identified locations, each of the proposed wireless facilities designs were
based the appropriateness to the particular property and the surround environment. This
approach seeks to balance designing wireless communication facilities that blend with its
surroundings while still providing the necessary locations to provide the needed radio coverage.
ATS Communications reviewed each of the targeted City -owned locations proposed for wireless
communications facilities. The following pages show the sites along with a brief description as
to the suitability of the site based on City staff input and ATS Communications personnel
evaluation.

Implementation
WMP Approval Process
IllNementatlon
Once the City's agencies review and refine the WMP, it is presented to the Planning Commission
and City Council for review and approval. Upon approval, the WMP enters its full
implementation phase. One of the plan's stated goals is to streamline the City's process for
wireless communications facility development.
Currently, representatives of the carrier visit the subject site to prepare the submittal
application for the city. Once this application is prepared and submitted, the staff compiles their
response, including recommendations and/or requests for modifications.
The information in the WMP allows the City to control the approval process with the wireless
companies and specify criteria for location and design.
Promotion & Marketing
ATS will take the lead in promoting the City -owned sites depicted within the master plan to the
various wireless carriers.
As the Wireless Industry continues to evolve, there will be the need to periodically update the
WMP. ATS will present this list of City -owned properties to the wireless service providers for
their consideration of potential candidates for their future builds. This WMP will be used as a
tool to market these properties to the Carriers.
Each of the Carriers uses subcontractors to continue the development of their networks. Often
these subcontractors come and go. Therefore, a continuous marketing effort is needed to
ensure this WMP is implemented and additional City -owned properties are considered for future
Master Plan updates.
Representatives from the various wireless service providers will use the City's WMP as a guide
and submit their proposals in accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance Section 17.28.070,
Antennas on Citypropertyfor projects subject to the WMP.
Application Process
The process for permit applications meeting the pre -approved design concepts for City
properties indentified in the WMP is as follows:
• Applicant consults with Planning Staff for conceptual review of project and determination
of appropriate permit application. Additional information regarding permit requirements
for antennas on City property can be found in the Municipal Code.
• Applicant submits required permit application (City Antenna Permit (CAP) or Conditional
Use Permit (CUP), application fees, and appropriate exhibits to Community Development
Department. In lieu of the application fee, the Planning Division may establish a deposit
74
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan
Implementation
account from the applicant to cover the actual cost of staff time to review and analyze
the City Antenna Permit application.
• Application is reviewed for completeness and identification of issues.
• If application is complete, processing begins. Application is then reviewed by all
appropriate departments and comments are provided to the applicant. If not complete,
application is returned to applicant for resubmission at later date.
• The Planning Commission's Design Review Subcommittee shall consider and provide
comments on staffs review, analysis and recommendation.
• CEQA review is performed by Planning Department (once application is complete).
Thirty (30) day review period is provided for comments on environmental
documentation, if applicable.
• Based upon comments from reviewing departments and Design Review Subcommittee, a
recommendation is made to approve with conditions or deny the requested project
permit. Refer to the Municipal Code for findings required prior to approval.
• Applications consistent with the pre -approved design concepts for City properties
indentified in the WMP shall be considered by the City Manager for approval (with
conditions) or denial. Project applications not consistent with the pre -approved design
concepts for City properties indentified in the WMP shall be considered by the Planning
Commission for approval (with conditions) or denial.
• Once all applicable appeal periods have expired and no appeals have been filed, or the
appeals have been resolved, the applicant may apply for other permits or licenses.
• Lease agreement for applicant use of City property is drafted by City Staff.
• City Council review and approval/denial of lease agreement.
Site Development Process
The next step after marketing the proposed properties to the carrier involves inspecting the site
and developing the plans for the build, if the carrier continues to hold an interest in that
location.
ATS works with the Site Acquisitions personnel from the wireless company and assists them in
the feasibility and due diligence process. The Site Acquisition Specialist works on a package to
present to the wireless carrier, which is referred to as Site Candidate Information Package,
SCIP. Other tasks of ATS during the development process include scheduling and facilitating
meetings with the City, communicating with the carrier's RF engineers, and negotiating the
terms of the lease on behalf on the City.
After the affirmative decision to proceed with a site is concluded the carrier will have site plans
and equipment plans drawn up for review by the parties involved. This is formally completed
with the documentation of a building application to the City. ATS will review the application
75
City of Tustin
Wireless MasterPlan Study Implementation
from the carrier for its completion after it is submitted to the City. The application will then go
through the standard process review by the City and its departments.
Being that the City has control over the execution of the lease as well as the issuance of
permits, these steps can be completed simultaneously. There is a concentrated effort by all
parties towards the procurement of an executed lease. The due diligence that takes place at
this time, which can differ slightly by each carrier, includes ordering a Preliminary Title Report
which documents the legal description of the property, receiving a Letter of Intent, and creating
a draft lease for review and revisions by the all involved parties.
There are a number of items that all parties involved should be aware of when signing the
lease. Before this time the lessee and lessor should be acquainted with each other in order to
determine that the contract that will be completed without breech. The lease agreement should
define the uses of the land; these terms are broadly stated due to the changes in technology
and site capacity issues. The rental amount is the greatest variable during negotiations,
typically an amount between $1,800 and $2,400 can be received for use of a site, but it varies
based on access to alternative sites, current market rates, and geographic locations. The term
of the lease is of concern to the carrier and the City for opposing reasons, but should only be
considered by the client if the term exceeds 20 years. Other information that should be careful
reviewed and negotiated is yearly rent adjustments, access and improvements to the property,
and termination.
Expiration of Architectural Elements and Design Standards
Wireless facilities have gone through many changes over the last few years. The size of
antennas, height necessary for transmission, concealment and other attributes of the
operational aspects of the industry have changed. The design and size of equipment will
continue to change over the next few years.
Taking this into consideration, the design standards discussed and recommended in this
document are the most recent concepts offered to date. It is anticipated that this document will
evolve over time as the wireless industry changes and that new concepts and design standards
will be incorporated as well.
In addition, as the demand for more services taking more bandwidth evolves, the design of
each wireless carrier's network will change too. The number of cell sites, the height for the
antennas, the related equipment and network characteristics will all change.
A review of the current "stealthing" technology will occur on an on-going basis. ATS will
provide supplemental updates to the WMP every six months or when sufficient changes in
technology warrant a change in the WMP. The radio frequency engineering will be updated
every 18-24 months based on the new sites deployed throughout the City and the City's
property.

B. Notes to be Added to Licensee's Submitted Plans: "Licensee recognizes that the
frequencies used by the wireless facility located at are close to the frequencies
used the City of by Tustin for public safety. This proximity will require extraordinary "comprehensive
advanced planning and frequency coordination" engineering measures to prevent interference, especially
in the choice of frequencies and radio ancillary hardware. This is encouraged in the "Best Practices
Guide" published by the Association of Public -Safety Communication Officials -International, Inc. (APCO)
and as endorsed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Prior to the issuance of any
permits to install the facility, Licensee shall meet in good faith to coordinate the use of frequencies and
equipment with the Communications Division of the Orange County Sheriff -Coroner Department to
minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any interference with the Public Safety 800 MHz countywide
Coordinated Communications System (CCCS). Similar consideration shall be given to any other existing
or proposed wireless communications facility that may be located on the subject property.
The Licensee shall provide a 24-hour phone number to which interference problems may be reported. To
ensure continuity on all interference issues the name, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address
of a "single point of contact" in its Engineering and Maintenance Departments shall be provided to the
City's designated representative upon activation of the facility."

Appendix "B"
Glossary
Above Means Sea Level (AMSL) — refers to the elevation (on the ground) or altitude (in the
air) of any object relative to the average sea level datum. This measurement is • used
extensively in radio, broadcasting, aviation, and telecommunications by engineers to determine
the coverage area a station will be able to reach.
Antenna - a device for transmitting and receiving radiofrequency (RF) signals. Often
camouflaged on existing buildings, trees, water towers or other tall structures, the size and
shape of antennas are generally determined by the frequency of the signal they manage.
Base station - the central radio transmitter/receiver that communicates with mobile
telephones within a given range (typically a cell site).
Bluetooth - a technological standard (a communications protocol) that enables mobile devices
equipped with a special chip to send and receive information wirelessly.
Broadband - a transmission facility having a bandwidth (capacity) sufficient to carry multiple
voice, video or data channels simultaneously. Broadband is generally equated with the delivery
of increased speeds and advanced capabilities.
Carrier - a service provider or operator; a communications company that provides customers
service for their wireless phones.
Cell - the basic geographic unit of wireless coverage. A region is divided into smaller "cells,"
each equipped with a low -powered radio transmitter/receiver. The radio frequencies assigned
to one cell can be limited to the boundaries of that cell. As a wireless call moves from one cell
to another, a computer at the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) monitors the call and
at the proper time, transfers the phone call to the new cell and new radio frequency. The
handoff is performed so quickly that it's not noticeable to the callers.
Cellular network — a radio network made up of a number of cells served by a fixed
transmitter — a cell site or a base station.
Cell site - the location where a wireless antenna and network communications equipment is
placed in order to provide wireless service in a geographic area.
Cell splitting - a means of increasing the capacity of a wireless system by subdividing one cell
into two or more smaller cells.
Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) — a telecommunication provider company that
competes with other established carriers, generally the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC).

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) - a technology used to transmit wireless calls by
assigning them codes to a range of channels. The codes allow numerous calls to travel on the
same frequency and guides calls to the correct receiving phone.
Co -location - placement of multiple antennas at a cell site location
Commercial Mobile Radio Service Providers (CMRS) - an FCC designation for any
wireless carrier or license owner whose wireless service is connected to the public switched
telephone network and/or is operated for profit.
DSL - a digital line connecting the subscriber's terminal to the serving company's central office,
providing multiple communications channels able to carry both voice and data communications
simultaneously.
Dual Band - a wireless handset that works on more than one spectrum frequency, e.g., in the
800 MHz frequency and 1900 MHz frequency bands.
Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) — access technology that is used by radio
systems to share spectrum by allocating individual frequencies for each signal within the band
Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) — the most popular standard for mobile
phones; also referenced as a cellular network, which connects mobile phones to cell sites in a
vicinity. GSM networks operate in four different frequency ranges — 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800
MHz, and 1900 MHz.
Handoff - the process of when a wireless network automatically switches a mobile call to an
adjacent cell site.
iDEN - a specialized mobile technology that combines two-way radio, telephone, text
messaging and data transmission into one digital network, giving user access to information on
a single device.
Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) - a local telephone company that was in
existence at the time of the break up of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies.
Interconnection - connecting one wireless network to another, such as linking a wireless
carrier's network with a local telephone company's network.
Local Area Network (LAN) - a small data network covering a limited area, such as a building
or group of buildings. Most LANs connect workstations or personal computers, allowing users
to share devices, such as printers and data.
Megahertz - a unit of frequency equal to one million hertz or cycles per second. Wireless
mobile communications within the United States generally occur in the 800 MHz, 900MHz and
1900MHz spectrum frequency bands.
Mobile phone — a short range, portable device used for voice or data communication over a
network of specialized base stations

Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) — a computer that monitors a mobile phone
call transfers the phone call to the new cell and radio frequency when the call can no longer be
handled by a distance cell.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) — an extension of the SMS standard; allows for
longer messages and multimedia objects, such as images, audio, video, and rich text, to be
sent.
Personal Communication Services (PCS) - a broad family of wireless services, commonly
viewed as including two-way digital voice, messaging and data services.
POPS - refers to the number of people in a specific area where wireless services are available
(the population).
Radio Frequency — a frequency or rate of oscillation within the range of 3Hz to 300 GHz
Reception — the action of an electronic receiver; a signal
Roaming — a fundamental of mobility management procedures which allows for cellular
customers to access cellular services outside their home network geographical coverage area
Short Message Service (SMS) — a communication protocol allowing the interchange of short
text messages between mobile telecommunication devices
Smart phone - wireless phones with advanced data features and often keyboards.
Spectrum allocation - process where the federal government designates frequencies for
specific uses, such as personal communications services and public safety.
Spectrum assignment - Federal government authorization for the use of specific frequencies
within a given spectrum allocation, usually in a specific geographic location. Mobile
communications assignments are granted to both private users and commercial providers.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card) — a microchip that stores the phone configuration
data by the use of a unique numerical identifier
Telecommunication Act of 1996 - the first major overhaul of the US telecommunications law
in 62 years, approved on January 3, 1996. The Act created deregulation and new regulation.
Third -Generation (3G) - a general term that refers to technologies which offer increased
capacity and capabilities delivered over digital wireless networks.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) - technology capable of delivering voice and
accommodating two-way video conferencing and application over internet protocol

7260 - PURPOSE AND FINDINGS
The purpose of this Part 6 is to maintain a safe and aesthetically pleasing environment in the public
right-of-way and on City -owned properties by regulating the location, color, screening, and other
aspects of aboveground utility facilities.
Aboveground utility facilities come in a variety of forms that include, but are not limited to, cables, wires,
conduits, ducts, pedestals, and antennae to transmit, receive, distribute, provide, or offer utility
services. Their accessory equipment typically is contained in enclosures, cabinets, artificial rocks, or
boxes to house a variety of uses such as controls for signals, electronics, and wiring for cable television
and telecommunications, or power sources. Often these facilities are located aboveground on existing
structures such as utility or light poles and have the tendency to proliferate to ensure user coverage.
Such proliferation can result in visual clutter, blocking visibility to signs and other structures, preventing
access for the disabled, distracting motorists travelling along the right-of-way, and creating noise.
Reasonable regulations for locating the aboveground utility facilities and their accessory equipment are
necessary to promote the health and aesthetic welfare of the people of Tustin. Reasonable
compensation for permitting private use of public property and the public right-of-way is also necessary
to offset the right-of-way maintenance costs.
(Ord. No. 1232, Sec. 2, 12-3-01)
7261 -LEASE AGREEMENT REQUIRED
No person shall place, construct, install, own, control, operate, manage, maintain, or use any
aboveground utility facilities and their accessory equipment in, above, beneath, or across any public
property, exclusive of the public right-of-way, without first obtaining a Lease Agreement or License in
accordance with the Design Guidelines. Franchises and Right -of -Way Agreements for
telecommunication facilities in the public right-of-way are governed by State and Federal regulations
and pertinent provisions of Chapter 7 of Article 7 of the Tustin City Code.

ARTICLE 7 - PUBLIC FACILITIES
CHAPTER 2 - STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
PART 6 - DESIGN REVIEW OF ABOVEGROUND UTILITY FACILITIES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND IN THE PUBLIC
RIGHT-OF-WAY
7262 - DESIGN REVIEW REQUIRED
No person shall place, construct, install, own, control, operate, manage, maintain, or use any
aboveground utility facilities and their accessory equipment without compliance with the Design Review
requirements in Tustin City Code Section 9272 and with this Part 6. This requirement applies to existing
and future franchisees and any other person who wishes to locate replacement or new aboveground
utility facilities and their accessory equipment on public property and in the public right-of-way.
Aboveground utility facilities located within Redevelopment Project areas shall be consistent with the
respective redevelopment plans. No Design Review approvals or any permits can be issued unless the
Redevelopment Agency can make a finding of conformity.
Existing aboveground utility facilities and accessory equipment installed prior to the effective date of
this ordinance shall not be subject to this requirement.
(Ord. No. 1232, Sec. 2, 12-3-01)
7263 -APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW
An applicant shall submit a plan of the proposed location of all aboveground utility facilities including
their accessory equipment located in cabinets, enclosures, or boxes to the Director of Community
Development ("Director'). Information shall also be provided as to the dimensions, proposed colors,
screening materials, noise levels, and whether there will be interference with the public radio system
anticipated. The applicant shall pay a fee to cover the anticipated staff time to review and process the
application as established by the City Council for a Design Review application.
(Ord. No. 1232, Sec. 2, 12-3-01)
7264 - DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
Upon the application being found complete by the Director, or designee, the Director or designee shall
review the plan (the "Plan") using the criteria set forth in the Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility
Facilities on Public Properties and in the Public Right-of-way adopted by resolution of the City Council.
If the utility facilities are to be located within redevelopment areas, then a finding of conformity by the
Redevelopment Agency would need to be made prior to the Director's consideration of the Design
Review. The Director may conditionally approve or deny the application. Amendments to the Plan shall
be reviewed and approved by the Director concurrent with or prior to issuance of an Encroachment
Permit, Lease Agreement or License, as provided for in the Design Guidelines, or Right -of -Way
Agreement as defined in Chapter 7 of Article 7 of the Tustin City Code. The aboveground utility facilities
and their accessory equipment must be installed pursuant to the approved Plan. The noise generated
from the aboveground utility facilities, including their accessory equipment, shall comply with the City's
noise regulations.
(Ord. No. 1232, Sec. 2,12-3-01)
7266 -APPEALS
Any person may appeal any decision of the Director in accordance with Section 9294 of this Code.

RESOLUTION NO. 01-95
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA AMENDING
RESOLUTION NO. 99-84 BY ADOPTING DESIGN
GUIDELINES FOR ABOVEGROUND UTILITY
FACILITIES AND THEIR ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT
ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND IN THE PUBLIC
RIGHT-OF-WAY.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. That telephone, Internet, cable, and personal wireless telephone
(cellular) servicing the City are expanding and upgrading their
services and will require installation of additional equipment such as
aboveground accessory equipment, antennas attached to utility
poles, street light poles, or other structures on public properties or in
the public right-of-way.
B. On December 6, 1999, the City Council adopted the Aboveground
Cabinets Design Guidelines. These guidelines regulate
aboveground cabinets for power supply equipment within the public
right-of-way. These guidelines do not regulate utility facilities
located aboveground such as antennas attached to utility poles,
street light poles, utility towers, or other structures within the public
right-of-way.
C. Currently, there are no guidelines in place for aboveground utility
facili(ies on public properties such as parks, community facilities, or
othe!i City -owned properties. New comprehensive guidelines are
needed to establish design criteria prior to installation of
aboveground utility facilities on public properties or in the public
right-of-way.
D. That guidelines and development standards are needed to promote
and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare and
preserve and enhance the quality of the City relating to the orderly
development of aboveground utility facilities and their accessory
equipment.
E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held by the
Planning Commission on September 10, 2001, and the Planning
Resolution No. 01-95
Page 2
Commission recommended approval of the Design Guidelines for
Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public Properties and in the Public
Right -of -Way and Ordinance No. 1232.
F. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held by the City
Council on October 1, 2001, and continued to October 15, 2001,
November 5, 2001, and November 19, 2001.
II. In adopting the Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public
Property and in the Public Right -of -Way, the City Council finds and
determines: ' '
A. That the guidelines provide standards that mitigate impacts typically
associated with installation of aboveground utility facilities and their
accessory equipment on public property and in the public right-of-
way, including measures to reduce their visual impact.
B. That due to the potential for over -concentration and proliferation of
aboveground utility facilities, particularly in residential neighborhoods
where these facilities are highly visible and thus may impact the
visual character of the neighborhood, the criteria established In the
guidelines are necessary to promote the welfare of the community.
C. That the guidelines require approval of an Encroachment Permit
and/or Design Review process which would ensure that
aboveground utility facilities and their accessory equipment are
developed in an orderly manner with respect to location, size, and
screening.
D. Traffic signal controller cabinets are exempted because they are
different in nature and function and provide essential services. The
traffic signal control cabinets by nature must be located where
traffic can be controlled at intersections. Irrigation controller
cabinets are also exempted because they must be located in close
proximity to available power sources.
E. That street light poles being used solely to provide illumination are
exempted because the nature of the service they provide must be
located aboveground and that they provide essential services for
the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
F. That fair and reasonable compensation shall be secured for
permitting private use of public properties by utility providers.
Resolution No. 01-95
Page 3
G. That it is appropriate for the City Manager,. on behalf of the City
Council, to accept discretionary applications for use of public
properties and/or public right-of-way.
H. That the Director of Community Development should be authorized to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Design Review
application in accordance with the Design Guidelines adopted herein.
For projects located within redevelopment project areas, the
Redevelopment Agency shall make a finding of conformity to the
respective redevelopment plans concurrently or prior to consideration
of the Design Review application. No Design Review approvals shall
be granted without a finding of conformity by the Redevelopment
Agency.
I. A Final Negative Declaration has been prepared and adopted in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).
III. The City Council hereby amends Resolution No. 99-84 by adopting the
Design Guidelines for Aboveground Utility Facilities on Public Properties and
in the Public Right -of -Way attached hereto as Exhibit "A" to be followed
when considering an Encroachment Permit and/or Design Review
application for the installation of aboveground utility facilities and their
accessory equipment on public properties and in the public right-of-way.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin City Council, held on the
19th day of November, 2001.

Re:
Wireless Analysis
DAS Systems
These smaller cell sites are typically called pito or micro sites, depending on the amount of coverage and
channels available. When more than one of these sites is connected together, they are referred to as a
Distributed Antenna System or DAS. In this situation, the adjacent equipment is joined together through a
fiber optic run resulting in trenching in the streets to connect the antennas to a base station. The amount of
pico or micro sites connected together in a DAS configuration varies depending on terrain, above ground
obstacles and population density. Photographs of DAS configurated systems in Tustin as well as nearby
communities have been attached for reference.
Future Demand For Covera.ee
The largest demand for cellular coverage is in residential areas. Factors include the fact that more and more
people are getting rid of their land lines. There are no long distance charges for using cell phones so people
use them more now between the hours of 7pm to lOpm as most plans offer unlimited minutes for this time
frame. The other driving factor for demand is the applications available for smart phones. Data usage
necessary to support these applications has been rising exponentially and some industry experts expect a
doubling to tripling of sites in order to meet this demand.
Public Safety
While police and fire have their own networks, they rely on cell phones as a back-up network for their
services. Working with the wireless carriers, public safety agencies have arrangements that in emergency
situations, their calls receive priority over other calls. Though this is necessary, it does greatly reduce the
number of available lines that will be accessible for the general public in the event of an emergency.
