Analysis Background This application was submitted prior to adoption of the Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Ordinance. As a result, the item was scheduled for a public hearing, with the understanding that if the Ordinance was approved by the Board of Supervisors,the item would be taken off the agenda and acted upon at the staff level, unless the item became controversial. This Site Approval application is being referred to the Planning Commission based on neighborhood opposition. The proposed project is consistent with the provisions contained in the Wireless Telecommunication Facilities ordinance. Zoning On May 25, 1997, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors approved Development Title Text Amendment No. TA-97-1, which added the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities to the Development Title and grouped all commercial activities that provide electronic communication of information and entertainment to the public under the Communication Services use type. Under the new requirements, the proposed 70-foot-high wireless services tower would be classified as a 'Communication Services - Type III use type, which may be conditionally permitted in the A-G zone with an approved Site Approval application. Wireless services are regulated by the Wireless Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Lodi Precissi Airpark elevation is 24 feet, USGS Datum. The horizontal surface is at 174 feet, USGS Datum. The conical surface extends above and outward from the horizontal surface on a 20:1 angle. No �- structures are permitted to penetrate this surface. Therefore, within the horizontal surface, no structures can exceed a height of 150 feet. The proposed 70-foot-high tower is within the conical surface but below the conical surface elevation. Thus, no conflicts are anticipated with airpark operations. Airport The site is located approximately 1.5 miles north of Lodi Precissi Airpark. Referrals were sent to the Kingdon Airport, Lodi Airpark, and the Airport Land Use Commission, and no responses were received. Neighborhood Opposition One letter was received from a neighbor in opposition to the proposed 70-foot-high tower. The opponent states that the structure would have a negative impact on their property. San Joaquin County SA-97-25/Alberg Community Development Page 5
