A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR THE "BELLANY" STEALTH COMMUNICATION
TOWER LOCATED SOUTH OF SCOTT ROAD, WEST OF BAILEY
PARK BOULEVARD, NORTH OF KELLER ROAD, AND EAST OF
ZEIDERS ROAD (APN 384-180-007).
Whereas, on June 3, 2013, the applicant, Los Angeles SMSA LP dba Verizon
Wireless, filed a formal application with the City of Menifee for a Conditional Use Permit
for the construction and operation of a 70'-tall unmanned cell tower disguised as a faux
water tank, 1 V-6" x 16'-10Y2" equipment shelter, and 30kW backup generator within a
34'-8" x 34'-8" (8'-tall) block wall enclosure located south of Scott Road, west of Bailey
Park Boulevard, north of Keller Road, and east of Zeiders Road, within the City of
Menifee (APN 384-180-007) (the "Project"); and
Whereas, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), an Initial Study ("IS") and Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND") have
been prepared to analyze and mitigate the Project's potentially significant environmental
impacts; and
Whereas, between May 6, 2015 and May 27, 2015, the twenty (20)-day public
review period for the IS/MND took effect, which was publicly noticed by a publication in a
newspaper of general circulation, notice to owners within 600 feet of the project site
boundaries, related agencies and government agencies; and
Whereas, no comments on the IS/MND have been received during the public
review period; and
Whereas, on May 27, 2015, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee held
a public hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as all materials in
the staff report and accompanying documents for Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-114
and the IS/MND, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in the Press
Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation, an agenda posting, and notice to
property owners within 600 feet of the project boundaries, and to persons requesting
public notice; and
Whereas, the applicant has complied with CEQA and the IS/MND is an accurate
and objective statement that fully complies with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and
represents the independent judgment of the City; and
Whereas, no evidence of new significant impacts, as defined by CEQA
Guidelines Section 15088.5, have been received after circulation of the draft IS/MND
which would require re -circulation.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves
as follows:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and adopted as the findings of the
Planning Commission.
Section 2. With regard to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Planning Commission
hereby makes the following findings as established by CEQA:
Resolution No PC 15-209
IS/MND for "Bellany" Stealth Communication Tower
May 27, 2015
1. The Planning Commission finds on the basis of the evidence presented and the
whole record before it, including the Initial Study and the MND, and any
comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project, as
mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment.
2. The Mitigation Monitoring Plan ("MMP"), a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit "1" and incorporated herein by reference, will assure compliance with the
mitigation measures during project implementation and would avoid or mitigate
the potential effects of the Project to a point where clearly no significant effect on
the environment would occur.
3. The Planning Commission further finds that the adoption of the MND reflects the
Planning Commission's independent judgment and analysis.
4. The MND, all documents referenced in the MND, and the record of proceedings
on which the Planning Commission's decision is based are located at City of
Menifee City Hall at 29714 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586 and the custodian of
record of proceedings is the City of Menifee City Clerk.
Section 3. The City of Menifee Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the Project, subject to the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan which
is attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and incorporated herein.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this the 27th of May, 2015.
