Analysis <br /> Background <br /> The Communications Services Use Type refers to commercial establishments or facilities which primarily <br /> provide electronic communication of audio/visual information and/or entertainment via cable, microwave, or <br /> radio frequency transmission. Type It services require the construction of a new freestanding support <br /> structure for wireless telecommunication antennas and associated supporting equipment, more commonly <br /> known as cell towers. Currently, the Communications Services-Type II Use Type is not permitted in the P-F <br /> zone in the community of Mountain House. It is conditionally permitted in the P-F zone in the remainder of <br /> the County with an approved Use Permit application. The Mountain House Community Services District <br /> (MHCSD) needs to construct a telemetry tower so that the Mountain House Water Treatment Plant can <br /> communicate with the Byron Bethany Irrigation Pumping Plant. The MHCSD could construct their facilities <br /> on top of an existing building (Communication Services-Type 1) with an Improvement Plan, but a <br /> freestanding tower would permit the Sheriffs Department and other emergency response equipment to co- <br /> locate on a single tower. A Site Approval requires environmental review but does not require a public <br /> hearing. <br /> Text Amendment <br /> The Text Amendment will change the box in the P-F column and the Type II row of Table 9-705.2(M) from <br /> (—)"not permitted" to (S)"Site Approval required." <br /> Current: <br /> Use Types Other Zones <br /> P-F M-X <br /> Communication Services <br /> Typel PI PI <br /> Type 11 <br /> — <br /> Type III — <br /> Type IV PI PI <br /> Proposed: <br /> Use Types Other Zones <br /> P-F M-X <br /> Communication Services <br /> Typel PI PI <br /> Typell S <br /> Type III — <br /> TypeIV PI PI <br /> San Joaquin County PA-0800227\Mountain House CSD <br /> Community Development Page 3 <br />
