FINDINGS FOR SITE APPROVAL <br />PA -2200044 <br />GIGLICO INC. / AMERICAN TOWER <br />1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any <br />applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted <br />by the County. <br />• This finding can be made because the proposed use of the telecommunications tower is <br />located in the AG40 (General Agriculture — 40 -acre minimum) zone, and the Communications <br />Services — Type II use type may be conditionally permitted in this zone with an approved Site <br />Approval application. The project site has a General Plan designation of A/G (General <br />Agriculture), and the AG -40 zone is an implementing zone for this designation. The proposed <br />tower extension is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General <br />Plan, and there are no Master Plans or Special Purpose Plans applicable to this site. <br />2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary <br />facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and <br />proposed roadways. <br />• This finding can be made because there are no new utility improvements required. The <br />proposed project of an extension to an existing tower is an unmanned facility and will not <br />impact existing public utilities. This project will not require the use of public water, sewer, <br />or storm drainage, nor are private services required for this use. The project site will <br />continue to be accessed from two driveways along E. Sedan Avenue in Manteca, CA. <br />3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. <br />• This finding can be made because the 9 parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate <br />the proposed use, building coverage, setbacks, and other requirements of the Development <br />Title. The parcel can accommodate the use of the telecommunications facility and the <br />associated ground equipment within the existing lease area. <br />4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be <br />injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. <br />• This finding can be made because it was determined that the project will not be detrimental <br />to the Public Health. A Notice of Exemption from CEQA (California Environmental Quality <br />Act) will be filed. The telecommunications tower must comply with Federal Communications <br />Commission regulations regarding radio frequency emissions. <br />5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. <br />• This finding can be made because the proposed use may be conditionally permitted in the <br />AG -40 zone with an approved Site Approval application. The proposed use will not interfere <br />with nor alter the current land uses on adjoining properties. The adjacent surrounding <br />parcels are primarily agricultural with scattered residences. <br />PA -2200044 —Findings 1 <br />
