Document Description
Major Conditional Use Permit, Minor Conditional Use Permit, Major Design Review and Major Variance applications for a new unmanned telecommunications facility on a city-owned parcel, adjacent to Tayman Park and the Healdsburg Golf Club. The project consists of a 76-foot-tall monopole tower supporting 9 wireless antenna panels, one microwave dish, and related equipment. The monopole would be designed to resemble a faux broadleaf tree, with 8-foot to 14-foot-long faux branches and leaf socks covering the antenna and dish. The pole would be painted brown. The project will fill a significant gap in Verizon’s cellular phone coverage within the City of Healdsburg.

Class 3, Section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project involves the installation of nine Andrew Model SBNHH-1D65B directional panel antennas on a new 76-foot-tall faux tree on land that is designated as Public/Quasi Public. The proposed facility height complies with the City’s development standards and 100-foot height limit for wireless facilities. All new project construction would occur within the 30-foot by 50-foot lease area, approximately 1,500 square feet, and would not exceed 2,500 square feet in floor area. The proposed project would not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, as it would consist of standard cell tower communications panels that are regulated by federal and State agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
