situated on a 5.24 acre site located at 33301 Camino Capistrano (Applicant: Tuttle -
Click Automotive) (Representative: Ken Friess, Friess Company Builders)(Pro*ect
Manager: David Contreras, Senior Planner). The Commission conducted a
worksession and made the following comments about the two proposed design
options for the wireless telecommunication facilities:
a. The stark white light poles with the antennae equipment mounted below the light
fixture will make them more visually prominent than if the poles and equipment
were painted a more neutral color.
b. The faux trees appear to be more effective than the light poles at screening the
cell antennae.
c. The faux tree alternative would require the planting of additional eucalyptus
trees in order to create a more realistic appearance.
Commissioner Cohen recused himself due to a conflict of interest by virtue of his
employment as a legal representative of certain automobile dealership associations and
left the City Council chamber.
