HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AMENDMENT TO GROUND LEASE FOR MODIFICATION TO CELLULAR ANTENA EQUIPMENT FACILITY AT THE SPORTS PARK AN EXISTING SUMMARY: The proposed antendment to an existing Ground Lease Agreement between Cox Communications and the City of Tustin would provide for a reconfiguration of the existing equipment enclosure at the base of the antenna pole at the Sports Park to be consistent with Design Review 99-040, approved by the Community Development Director on December 17, 2000. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an amended Ground Lease Agreement with Cox Communications, subject to the City Attorney's approval. FISCAL IMPACT No modification to the existing lease fee is proposed. Fees for City Attorney review have been paid by Cox Communications. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION In 1997, Cox Communications received approval to establish a wireless communications facility at the Sports Park. The improvements included a light pole with antennaS and an equipment enclosure located on the eastern portion of the park, adjacent to Jamboree Road. A ground lease and first amendment was executed for approximately 252 square feet. In December 1999, Cox Communications proposed to modify the existing antennas and equipment facility. On December 17, 1999, the Community Development Director approved replacement of the existing antennas with the same size, configuration, and number of antennas as originally approved and a reconfiguration of the equipment enclosure, which results in a reduction of five (5) square feet of lease area, or approximately 247 square feet. A second amendment to the existing Ground Lease Agreement is proposed (Attachment A) to reflect these site modifications and the current lessee, which is Cox Communications PCS, LP, and the current assignee, which is Cox PCS Assets, LLC. Upon approval of the agreement by the City Manager and the City Attorney, Cox Communications will be authorized to obtain building permits for the approved improvements. Elizabeth A.
