The facility will be enclosed by a 9’ masonry wall and contain various equipment and electrical cabinets, a diesel generator, and a 63’ tall monopine cell tower with associated antennas and equipment. The property is developed with an existing 5,000 SF assembly building containing the Congregation Ohr Tzafon Synagogue, previously the Masonic Lodge, and an approximately 432 SF pergola. 9’ CMU Wall 5 ITEM 2 Meeting Date: 03/28/24 Verizon Wireless Telecommunications Facility USE24-0014 Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Equipment and Site Design The telecommunication lease area is located northeast corner of the property, in a landscape area adjacent to the eastern property line. The facility will be fully enclosed by a 9’ tall concrete masonry block wall which will fully screen the utility and equipment cabinets, generator, and all other appurtenances from the road and neighboring uses. The block wall is conditioned to be painted beige or brown to match the existing 5,000 SF structure. The proposed 63’ telecommunications tower will be the only component of the facility that will be visible from behind the block wall. The tower will use a stealth monopine design as an alternative to the typical metal monopole. Staff is recommending condition language to ensure that the stealth design functions to properly hide the monopole and mounted network equipment and conforms to the plans and exhibits provided for the life of the project. The project shall be additionally conditioned to ensure long term maintenance of the facility. Landscaping A landscape plan was approved with the development of the 5,000 SF structure that included the new telecommunications lease area.
