PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of an unmanned communications tower facility on the top of Blue Mountain in the City of Grand Terrace. Workers are expected to visit the site once every month. The facility will not be visible from Grand Terrace, except from the very southeast portion of the city in proximity with the orange grove area. The tower and respective antennae will blend in with other existing towers to the northwest. There will be no reflective antenna, nor antenna painted with colors that do not to match the natural background of the mountain. Currently, the facility consists of one (8' X 75') tower, which provides support for four (4' diameter) microwave dish antennae; three omni-directional antennae; three (3' diameter) satellite dish antennae; and one (8' diameter) dish antenna located at the base of the tower. The facility also includes one monopole, which will be removed and its (10' diameter)microwave dish antenna will be relocated to the roof of the existing (12' X 40') equipment shelter that currently supports another (10' diameter) dish. An interior chain link fence surrounds the entire facility. And entrance into the facility is through an existing 14' gate located at or near the eastern property line. The proposals to the existing facility include the addition of a (4-legged, 110') lattice tower designed to support antennae for various agencies from federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The antennae, which are subject to each carrier's design and specifications, will be positioned throughout the tower and may include, but will not be limited to, one (3' diameter) microwave dish antenna located toward the top of the tower; 25-30 omni- directional antennae; 16 panel antennae; 12 microwave dish antennae ranging in size from 6', 4' and 3' in diameter; four (3' diameter) satellite antennae; and one or two (10' diameter) dish antenna located at the base of the tower. A (18' X 40') equipment building will also be constructed within the facility, which may support two (10' diameter) dish antennae on its roof. Two to four (12' diameter) land based satellite dishes may placed on (10' X 10') concrete pads. And one (5' X 10') emergency generator pad will also be constructed within the facility. The equipment buildings will be constructed with birch colored concrete block masonry, beige metal flashing facia, beige colored steel rib roofing, steel hollow metal doors, and Class A fire rating material. This construction material prevents fire from entering into the buildings. Furthermore, the equipment located inside the building is enclosed in metal casings, which contain no combustible material. The construction of the support tower is made up of 4" legs with 2"minimum galvanized metal and lacing. The tower provides the support for the transmitting and receiving antennae described above. The antennae contain a non-reflective finish and are placed on the tower subject to each agency's individual requirements which are customarily installed at the top and to the sides of the tower.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES (Continuted) Emergency Service As required by The San Bernardino County Fire Warden's Department requires that the private access road to the facility be maintained and cleared for so that emergency vehicles to ascend in case of fire can reach the facility in the event of a fire or other emergency. The water for a fire situation-will-be provided by the t- 1 tt, + + ,l + et. ate,-lin f o.:aim n + rr� th 1,•,1 ;do �a re . ,la be eiffc ,lt. Due to the rugged terrain that exists along the slope of the hillside, and the high water pressure that would be necessary to reach the site from water lines connected at Palm Avenue, large self contained fire trucks will provide the water supply that would be used to extinguish any fire within the facility. Special fire retardant materials are being will be used in the construction of the equipment buildings, such as Class A Fire Roofing. Drainage � r a of existing vegetation this project will not alter any existing drainage routes. Existing drainage routes will not be altered by this project and no landscaping or removal of existing vegetation is required because very minimal or no grading will be done. A topo/soil test and grading plan will be submitted to City Engineer if needed.

During the occasional maintenance visits by service technicians, all trash and/ or waste created by the technician will be disposed of outside of the facility by the personnel that visited the site. BLUE MOUNTAIN SPECIFIC PLAN nerator pad will also be constructed within the facility. The equipment buildings will be constructed with birch colored concrete block masonry, beige metal flashing facia, beige colored steel rib roofing, steel hollow metal doors, and Class A fire rating material. This construction material prevents fire from entering into the buildings. Furthermore, the equipment located inside the building is enclosed in metal casings, which contain no combustible material. The construction of the support tower is made up of 4" legs with 2"minimum galvanized metal and lacing. The tower provides the support for the transmitting and receiving antennae described above. The antennae contain a non-reflective finish and are placed on the tower subject to each agency's individual requirements which are customarily installed at the top and to the sides of the tower.

APPLICANT'S DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT The applicant has described this project in detail. Please refer to "A. Project Description" above. C. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GENERAL PLAN The Blue Mountain Specific Plan introduces a new use to this residential hillside area which is compatible with the General Plan. The hillside area is intended for very low density residential development with maximum preservation of natural terrain. The Blue Mountain Specific Plan proposes a microwave tower facility which will only occupy OA- .015 acre out of a 20 .05 acre property. The other 4-979 0.31 acres will be retained as open space. The Specific Plan is an implementation tool of the General Plan and is therefore consistent with the goals of the General Plan. The Blue Mountain Specific Plan is also consistent with the General Plan Goal for Aesthetic, Cultural, and Recreational Resources Element which is "Enrichment of the Community by optimizing the availability and usefulness of the City's Aesthetic, Cultural, and Recreational Resources. " The Blue Mountain Specific Plan incorporates the policy of the General Plan by utilizing a hillside area that is intended for very low density residential development with maximum preservation of natural terrain. A telecommunication facility already exists in the proposed area, and because of its high elevation, Blue Mountain is an ideal location to expand wireless service throughout the City. The amended Specific Plan optimizes and preserves the City's aesthetic resources while providing a service that enriches the entire community. Therefore, by implementing the amended Specific Plan, the policy and goals of the General Plan are preserved and promoted. BLUE MOUNTAIN SPECIFIC PLAN is in compliance with the development standards set forth in this Specific Plan and with the City of Grand Terrace Zoning Code.
