CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Initiation of a Development Code Amendment—Cellular Antennas
Mayor and Common Council meeting of February 7, 2000
BACKGROUND
The Legislative Review Committee asked staff to look at the Development Code
standards related to siting and design of cellular antennas. The Development Code
permits cellular antennas in all land use designations, with a maximum height of 75 feet.
The Development Code requires that the antennae be sited to ensure compatibility with
the surrounding area, but there are no criteria for determining compatibility.
Staff believes that the standards can be better defined and measurable criteria included
for siting and design of cellular antennas. This would decrease impacts to areas where the
antennas are located,while still providing opportunities for the cell antennae companies
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff estimates that preparation of a Development Code Amendment will cost
approximately$2000. This includes legal advertisements and copying charges.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council direct staff to initiate an
amendment to the Development Code to incorporate siting and design standards for
cellular antennas.
