PUBLIC COMMENT PROCEDURE

Any person wishing to address the Commission on any matter, either under the Public Comments section of the Agenda or scheduled items or public hearings, must fill out a “Request to Speak” form available at the door. The completed form must be submitted to the Secretary prior to the Agenda item being called by the Chairperson. In speaking to the Commission, members of the public shall be limited to three minutes per person, except for the applicant for entitlement. The Commission may establish an overall time limit for comments on a particular Agenda Item. Members of the public must direct their questions to the Chairperson of the Commission and not to other members of the Commission, the applicant, the Staff, or the audience.

PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON AGENDA MATTERS AND AGENDA MATTERS OTHER THAN PUBLIC HEARINGS

This is the time for members of the public to address the Commission on matters, which are on the Commission’s consent calendar or on matters, which do not appear on the Commission’s Agenda. Under state law, no action can be taken on comments from the public if the matter is not on the Commission’s Agenda unless the Commission makes a determination that (1) an emergency exists or (2) that the need to take action arose after the posting of the Agenda and that action must be taken before the next regular meeting of the Commission. There shall be an overall time limit of 15 minutes for the Public Comments portion of the Agenda unless the Commission makes a decision to extend the time period.

CONSENT CALENDAR

All matters listed under the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and all will be enacted by one roll call vote. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless members of the Commission that request specific items be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate action.

NEW BUSINESS

3. Minor Modification MM2009-187, being a petition submitted by Glenn Fujikawa of Powder River Development, agent for Sprint Nextel / Clearwire, to modify a previously approved wireless telecommunication facility at the existing YMCA clock tower, 27341 Trabuco Circle, in the R (Recreation) zone. The proposed modification involves adding three additional panel antennas and 3 microwave antennas to the existing Sprint Nextel facility. (Clearwire deployments are utilizing existing Sprint Nextel wireless network infrastructure as co-location sites for their 4G mobile Internet wireless network.) Sprint Nextel was previously approved for six antennas, but only three are currently installed. The antennas will be completely screen from view behind the existing clock tower screening. The proposal also involves the addition of one new equipment cabinet to be located within the existing screened equipment enclosure. The proposed facility is a co-location with existing Cingular (now AT&T) and Metro PCS facilities at the site.

Procedure: Staff report; public comments; discussion and determination.
Recommended Action: Adopt resolution approving MM2009-187.
