Honorable Chairman and Planning Agency Members
Community Development Department
Use Permit 81-24
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of Use Permit 81-24, by the adoption of
Resolution No. 1991.
Applicant: Six Star Cablevision
Location: 1302 Service Road
BACKGROUND
A request to authorize the installation of a 60-foot antenna
structure (with attached 6-foot microwave antenna). Three
seven-meter TVRO earth station disks, and a 10 x 20 foot equipment
building are included. The site is zoned Planned Industrial
District (PM).
The site is currently vacant land, used for storage of broken
concrete pipe.
DISCUSSION:
In the Planned Industrial District, a Use Permit is required where
a radio tower will exceed the permitted height limit. In the PM
district, the permitted height is 50 feet, and Six Star is
requesting a 60-foot antenna, ten feet above the permitted height.
Surrounding land uses include: to the east are tennis courts, to
the west approximately 100 feet are apartments, to the north
approximately 270 feet are single family homes, and industrial
users to the south.
The single family homes are buffered by the tennis courts and the
apartment carports. Residents most directly affected will be the
apartments to the west, where several second story balconies face
the vacant lot. The tennis courts are surrounded by a twelve foot
chain link fence, and screening the northern tennis courts will
further buffer the site from the single family homes.

The applicant is proposing three towers in the form of a triangle,
connected together for stability. Staff recommends that Six Star
reduce this to one single pole, and if required, utilize tie guys
for stability.
The proposed use of barbed wire as a security measure can be a
liability to Six Star, Tustin Unified, and the City of Tustin.
Staff recommends that barbed wire not be used unless evidence is
represented by Six Star that they are suffering substantial damage
by vandalism, or that the danger within the site is greater than
the potential danger of climbing over the barbed wire.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposal is in substantive conformance with existing
and proposed requirements of the PM District.
2. Although the antenna will have a visual impact on the area,
proposed conditions in the use permit will help reduce the
visual effect to a minimum.
3. The area is not exclusively residential in nature, but has
a mixed use of industrial to the south and residential to the
north and west. If buffered, it is felt that the proposed
receiving station would not have a negative effect on the area.
