PUBLIC HEARING: Continued from March 8, 2005
3-A. Use
Permit 05-001, 2900 Main Street.
The applicant requests approval to construct an unmanned wireless
telecommunication facility on the roof of an existing one-story building. The
equipment consists of two antennas structures, each with three sectors attached
to an eight-inch diameter pole rising 15-feet above the building’s roof parapet
and approximately 23.5-feet above the building’s roofline. The proposed telecommunication equipment
includes four mechanical cabinets located on a lower roof. In addition, one GPS antenna is proposed
mounted to the south side parapet wall next to an adjoining commercial
building. The project does not comply
with the height, location, or screening requirements of Santa Monica Municipal
Code (SMMC) 9.04.10.06.110(a)(6). Pursuant to SMMC Section 9.04.10.06.110(b)
the Zoning Administrator may approve modifications to the design standards for
non-parabolic commercial antennas. The request to modify the regulations and
design standards requires a Use Permit application. [Planner: Gina Szilak] APPLICANT:
